That night, Sheng Kai left the company. As soon as he entered the basement parking lot, a gunny sack was pulled over him and he was beaten to the ground by a few men.
They were ruthless. It was not until Sheng Kai could not move that the few of them got afraid that he might have died and they all ran away in a panic.
Sheng Kai lay on the ground, his body in excruciating pain. He did not need to think too far to know who was behind the attack. Other than Gu Ziling, who had gone crazy during the day, there was no one else.
At the thought of this, Sheng Kai clenched his fists. Now that he had been betrayed by his family and pushed into the fire pit by Gu Ziling's grandfather, his life was worse than death.
He did not dare to run away from Jin Bo because he did not want to end up like Sheng Bowen.
However, what could he do curled up in this place? What could he do?
In his mind, he suddenly thought of the message from a month ago.
As Sheng Kai lay on the ground he took out his phone from his bag. With blood stains on it, he flipped to the message."I promise you... but I need help from Jin Bo to make the Gu family suffer a fate worse than death. So, wait for me first."
Gu Ziling had brought him enough humiliation.
..
Late at night, Mu Qiqi came out of the bathroom and saw Sheng Xiao texting someone, so she leaned over.
Sheng Xiao immediately turned off his phone and looked at her."Didn't we agree that you're not allowed to mess around until we find out what's going on?"
"How do I know you're not texting with some pretty girl?"
Sheng Xiao hugged her and put his phone to the side."In your heart, am I that free?"
"I'm just teasing you. I'm a little sleepy..." Perhaps it was psychological, but Mu Qiqi felt that pregnant women were all lethargic.
Sheng Xiao stroked her hair to make sure it was not wet. Then, he carried her up and put her on the bed."Go to sleep."
"Sing me a song?"
This thing was capable of torturing people."You can make me tell you a story, but you absolutely can't make me sing for you."
All men had personal boundaries!
Mu Qiqi smiled and admitted defeat."Then tell me a story."
"There was once a brigadier who was in high spirits. One day, he suddenly received a special military order to escort an important scientific researcher to a research base that was three hundred miles away from the army..."
Mu Qiqi frowned as she listened. Usually fantasy tales or fairy tales were told when telling a story. But with this man, they were somehow about brigadiers carrying out special missions.
However, she did not know that this was a true story about her grandfather.
"Forget it, Master Xiao. I can't listen to this anymore. I'm going to sleep."
Sheng Xiao curled his thin lips into a faint smile. Then, he helped Mu Qiqi put down the pillow and turned off the wall lamp. Only then did he leave the bedroom and go to the study.
Mu Qiqi was feeling dizzy. She did not expect to be this way so quickly. She soon fell asleep and very soundly at that.
In the study, Sheng Xiao made a call for help. Not long after, the people from the hospital found where Sheng Kai had fainted and got him to the hospital.
That's right. The text message from a month ago was sent by Sheng Xiao. The content was as follows:
The only one who can give you dignity and keep your life is your family, only me.
If you come back, we'll let bygones be bygones. You'll have a way to gain dignity.
No conditions.
Sheng Kai had thought about this message for a month. Although he did not want to admit it, deep down, he believed Sheng Xiao's words because no one else kept their promises.
However, he felt ashamed. Moreover, he had long since stopped thinking that he and the Sheng family were from the same world.
However, Gu Ziling's provocation made him suddenly realize that if this continued, he would sooner or later die outside.
And no one would be able to prevent it.
..
At midnight, Jin Bo's car arrived at the hospital.
He had received news that Sheng Kai had been hospitalized.
For the past month, he had barely spoken to Sheng Kai and had left him to fend for himself. He thought that he would find a way to escape, but it seemed like he didn't have any intention of leaving.
On the hospital bed, Sheng Kai was seriously injured. Jin Bo sat beside him, waiting for him to wake up.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Godfather." Sheng Kai called out in a low voice."Why are you here?"
"I didn't visit you and this is how badly you end up? All beaten up?" Jin Bo said with some heartache."Who did this to you?"
Sheng Kai sat up with Jin Bo's help. Then, he took out his phone and showed Sheng Xiao's message to Jin Bo."Godfather, Sheng Xiao came to win me over. I've thought about it for a month, but I still only want to stay by your side because the Sheng family has humiliated me enough. I only want you to think highly of me and trust me."
Jin Bo looked at the message and was shocked."I didn't expect the Sheng family to still care about you like this."
"They're not thinking about me. They just want to humiliate me, like Gu Ziling. Godfather, take me with you. I only want to follow you. I want to let those who look down on me take a good look at who I can be. To humiliate me is to blind their eyes!"
Jin Bo thought about it carefully and patted Sheng Kai's shoulder."Rest well first. When you recover, come to my side. I'll personally teach you."
"Godfather, I have a presumptuous request. For the Gu family to treat me like this..."
"I understand what you mean. When you get better, I'll support you in dealing with the Gu family."
"Thank you, Godfather." Sheng Kai used Sheng Xiao's message to gain Jin Bo's trust. However, he knew that this was the easiest part and that there would be more tests to come. However, it did not matter. At the very least, it was better than being locked up in the tiny place that was Changrong Electronics.
..
For two consecutive days, Mu Qiqi did not appear in the school. Her absence finally caught the attention of the students in her faculty.
However, Mu Qiqi did not have any friends in the school. If anyone wanted to know about her current situation, they could only ask the dean.
"Why is she suddenly not coming to school? This is really strange!"
"Could it be that she has been "borrowed" again?"
"I don't think so. Does she really treat the school as her own home? She comes and goes as she pleases."
The school was abuzz with discussion. The dean saw that he could no longer suppress the news, so when he was giving lessons to the students, he gave an explanation."Mu Qiqi has taken a leave of absence. None of you should make groundless guesses. She is ill."
"And, this is someone else's private matter. It's best that you don't poke your nose into other people's business, and just do your part."
Just like that, the news of Mu Qiqi's serious illness spread like wildfire.
How seriously ill must she be to have to drop out of school?
Fortunately, no one guessed that she was pregnant. After all, Mu Qiqi was young and had a bright future. No one thought that she was willing to give birth at such a period in her life.
