Chapter 720: You’re My Strategist For Life, Don’t Think About Running Away

After sending Ren Yufei home that night, Sheng Bowen drove to the Banyan Courtyard. When Mama Sheng saw Third Brother, she took good care of him.

“Third Brother, at your age, it’s time to get married. Don’t wait until Eighth Brother’s children have grown up. You need to be grounded.”

“Auntie, Eighth Brother still has two more years to go.” Sheng Bowen smiled. “Isn’t Qiqi still in college?”

“Well, Eighth Brother is still younger than you.”

The two of them chatted in the living room. Soon, Mu Qiqi called Sheng Bowen to the study.

“Why are you looking for me?” Sheng Bowen sat down in Sheng Xiao’s study. He hadn’t really had the chance to come. He looked at Sheng Xiao’s desk and saw Mu Qiqi’s forensic books. The two of them were so intimate with each other even when they read.

“Have you investigated the matter of the leaked Huang Yao’s design drawings?”

“How do you know about this?” Sheng Bowen looked at Mu Qiqi and asked in puzzlement.

Mu Qiqi took out the documents and handed them to Sheng Bowen. “Recently, Xiao Xiao asked Xu Che to look into a person called Cheng Bin. He is an extremely vicious criminal. He has been in prison for a few years and hasn’t had any contact with anyone else, other than a person called Third Master Long. This person has a lot of assets under his command, including a jewelry processing factory. The things that are being produced include the eye-catching series that has yet to be released by Huang Yao.”

“There’s a note in the file that states it’s a copy of Huang Yao’s blueprint, so we know.”

After Sheng Bowen heard Mu Qiqi’s words, he quickly flipped open the blueprint. “This is a copy. But ever since the last fake incident, I’ve thoroughly cleaned up the people of Huang Yao. There can’t be any spies.”

“A leaked blueprint might not necessarily mean that someone sold it out. It’s also possible that the culprit is familiar with Huang Yao’s internal affairs and stole it.”

“Makes sense. In that case, I’ll have to call the police to deal with this matter,” Sheng Bowen said. “We have to go through legal channels.”

“You’re thinking too simply. How did Third Master Long get the blueprint? Is he familiar with the internal affairs of Huang Yao? Think about it…”

“The biggest possibility is Sheng Kai.” Sheng Bowen thought about it and felt that Sheng Kai was the most suspicious. No one else had the audacity nor knew about the company so well.

“He has been up to more and more tricks lately. The reason why I asked you to come here is not only to let you know about Sheng Kai, but also to remind you that Cheng Bin and Third Master Long’s gang were once willing to do just about anything to make a living. If Sheng Kai really wants to take revenge on you, then he is definitely not just selling the design drawings.”

“My current reaction might be exactly as Sheng Kai planned.”

“That’s why Xiao Xiao and I think that you shouldn’t go to Third Master Long. Avoid this person. The new product will be delayed.”

Sheng Bowen nodded. “I know what to do.”

“I’ve already told you the reason why I asked you here. Now it’s your turn.” Mu Qiqi stood up to put away the documents in the bookcase. “What relationship problem did you encounter again?”

“Today, Yufei publicly announced our relationship. Not long after, Hu Ran came looking for me and made a big fuss with Yufei. I’ve told her everything I should say. I don’t know how to face her now,” Sheng Bowen said, distressed. “Any ideas to stop Hu Ran from pestering her?”

“Tell me the whole story first,” Mu Qiqi said.

“Actually, I don’t know much either. When I got the news, Hu Ran had already been kicked out by Yufei. I asked her about it, but she also made it sound like a very light matter.”

Sheng Bowen took some time to explain the matter to Mu Qiqi.

After hearing about it, Mu Qiqi frowned and thought for a long time.

“What are you thinking about? Help me think of a way. I don’t want to hurt Hu Ran, but I don’t want her to disturb my life anymore.”

“You men are like that. You want to take advantage of everything, but how can there be such a good thing in this world?” Mu Qiqi smiled. “It’s not that I’m not helping you think of a way. I just feel that it’s very strange.”

“What’s strange?”

“Both women are,” Mu Qiqi replied. “Of course, it’s also possible that my instinct is wrong. Listen to my analysis. First, let’s talk about Secretary Ren. She didn’t want the outside world to know about your relationship, and was very firm about that. But this morning, she suddenly changed her mind and even took the initiative to remind you to hold her hand and publicize your relationship.

“Second, how did Hu Ran get the news so quickly? Does she have a spy in the company? Or was someone deliberately reminding her?

“Thirdly, when Hu Ran arrived at Huang Yao, she allowed the secretary to block her way. But is Hu Ran someone who would simply take a slap and leave? Wouldn’t she want to see you no matter what? This does not conform to the logic of a person’s emotions. If Hu Ran was really that angry and took a slap, she would want to argue with you even more, unless Secretary Ren’s slap made her silly.

“Hu Ran spent two years pretending to be a fool. It’s clear that she has a lot of patience. Deep down, she’s not one to admit defeat. How could she be so easily suppressed by a secretary?

“Of course. Just think of it as my occupational disease. Even when I see two dogs fighting on the side of the road, I have to analyze who attacked first. I just think it’s a little strange.”

However, Sheng Bowen felt that Mu Qiqi’s words made a lot of sense.

“Slapping each other like this is like a tradition for drama. The most suspicious thing is that Secretary Ren made light of it after the incident…

“As your girlfriend, I was hit by your ex-wife. If I don’t say that I’m angry, I should at least be unhappy. I should feel wronged, right?”

Hearing all that, Sheng Bowen lightly pushed Mu Qiqi’s head in an affectionate manner. “You’re becoming more and more like a police officer analyzing the case. With you analyzing it like this, I do think it’s a little strange. When I figure out what the two women are up to, I’ll come back and ask for help.”

“Can’t you use your own brain?”

“You’re my strategist for life. Don’t think about running away.” With that, Sheng Bowen got up from the sofa. “I’m going home.”

Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes. She couldn’t afford to tease him. “Let’s go… Hurry up.”

“Grandpa’s birthday is coming up. If this really has something to do with Sheng Kai, I’m afraid that he might stir up a lot of trouble. By the way, have you prepared the present for Grandpa?”

“If it weren’t for your big mouth, I wouldn’t have to suffer like this!”

In the past few days, a certain someone had been stewing in jealousy.

“Everyone is waiting to see if Mu Qiqi, who has received Eighth Brother’s true inheritance, can handle this matter well. He’s still pretending to be clever.”

Mu Qiqi wanted to curse, just then, a certain someone entered the study, introducing a breath of cold air.

Sheng Bowen immediately said, “Xiao Qi, I’ll go back first… Ahem, Eighth Brother’s expression is too much like a rock in a cesspit…”
