Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Eagerly Waiting for Him to Come Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Eagerly Waiting for Him to Come “I should make another trip to Chongzhou and find out exactly what Xiahai Yi needs?”

In the end, Sheng Siyuan made such a decision.

Hearing this, the elder Mr. Sheng nodded as well.

“Right, ask for clarification, so that he stops bothering us. The Xiaho Family holds high authority, and if they truly don’t want us to live well, we won’t be able to survive under their thumb.”

The old man looked up at the twilight sky which had already begun to dim with the setting sun and sighed helplessly.

This was the nature of power and influence.

Though the Sheng Family had wealth to rival nations, in the face of heavy authority, they could only bow their heads.

The elder looked at his son.

However, he noticed his expression was rather indifferent, as if going to Chongzhou was just a small matter of asking a question.

As for the rest.

He didn’t take it seriously at all.

Elder Mr. Sheng: “…”

How had this damned boy developed such a fearless nature? He was nothing like his old man in this respect.

“Then I will leave shortly, keep an eye on the company for me.”

“Fine, I’ve got it.” Old Mr. Sheng waved his hand, indicating that his son needn’t worry.

Sheng Siyuan then turned and walked towards the door.

“Wait a minute!”

All of a sudden, as the old man watched his son’s retreating figure, a sense of unease rose in his heart.

Sheng Siyuan heard him and stopped, turning back to look at him.

“Is there something else?” he asked with a trace of impatience in his voice, which was accentuated by the lingering sunset.

Using his cane, Elder Mr. Sheng slowly walked up to him.

“I heard that last night in Y city, you injured Xiahou Yi’s grandson because of Hehe. Could that be the reason he’s now taking his anger out on you?”

“…”

The man stood silent.

It wasn’t until this reminder that he finally recalled the incident involving Xiahou Maolin in Y city the previous night.

“What is it? Did you remember something?” Seeing that he suddenly fell silent, the old man quickly pressed for an answer.

Sheng Siyuan’s gaze shifted slightly, his distant thoughts returning to the moment.

“Nothing much,” he replied blandly.

“You make a good point, I’ll think it over.” He accepted his father’s suggestion.

The elder immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yes, if it’s really because of that, and if he wants to take his anger out on us, then just endure it, since you’ve already resolved the issue today.”

“Mhm.”

The man standing at the doorway nodded again.

“I’ll head over to Y city first. Hehe is alone there; Dad, I won’t be at home in Shengfei Bay, so please look after the children for me.”

He looked at the old man, and for the first time, his attitude was very accommodating, even calling him “Dad” warmly.

The Elder’s face immediately lit up with a smile.

“No worries, go. The home is under my watch.”

“Mhm!”

Subsequently, the man finally left the family estate.

That night, Sheng Siyuan flew to Y city.

Upon receiving this news, the Chu Family in the capital, was furious. A glass was smashed to the ground, and Chu Feng’e’s brows furrowed in rage!

“This bastard, the bait has been laid to such an extent, and he still didn’t bite, didn’t go to Chongzhou!”

“Don’t worry, if he was so easy to trap, he wouldn’t be Sheng Siyuan.”

Chu Fengcheng, witnessing her fury, poured her a glass of water and nonchalantly added.

The features of these two people were a bit similar, however, when it came to personality, Chu Fengcheng, being the younger brother in the dragon-phoenix twins, was much more composed.

Chu Feng’e took a sip of water, finally calming down a bit.

“So what do we do now? News from Jiangbei says that the customs and tax authority simply can’t suppress this bastard. If we want to set him up again, we have to start from Provincial City.

This will definitely alarm Xiahou Maolin. If he finds out I’m harming his illegitimate son, he’ll never let me off.”

When Chu Feng’e mentioned this person, her lingering anger gave way to a hint of fear.

There was no helping it, although Xiahou Maolin was her husband.

But this man was now the head of the Xiaho Family, and what’s more, Chu Feng’e was about to harm his illegitimate son.

Chu Feng’e dared not even imagine it.

But seeing her frightened look, Chu Fengcheng’s eyebrows knitted together, showing a look of disappointment with her.

“What are you afraid of? The one who did wrong is Xiahou Maolin, not you. Even if he found out, what can he do to you?”

“It’s not like that!” Chu Feng’e immediately denied.

“That’s still his illegitimate son. You don’t know, ever since… Xiuxiu died, and now with Chu Yan always looking so sickly, Xiahou Maolin has never liked him. If he discovers that Sheng Siyuan was originally his son, and that I had him killed, he…”

The rest of her words trailed off, fear blanching her face a pale white.

Seeing this, Chu Fengcheng finally dropped the subject as well.

Because that was indeed the least leverage their Chu Family had over the Xiahou Family.

Back then, when his nephew Xiahou Xiu was still healthy, he, Chu Fengcheng, used to walk into the Xiahou house with his back especially straight.

But now, Xiuxiu was gone, and Chu Yan had taken his place.

Frankly, he didn’t even want to go there anymore because every time he did, he was afraid he would slip up and let the Xiahou Family discover this secret.

“Alright, you don’t have to worry. This Sheng Siyuan is a smart man. Today’s commotion in Jiangbei didn’t lure him out, but with his shrewdness, he must be having doubts already.”

“What do you mean?”

“If we just give him a little nudge, he will still think that this matter is related to Xiahou Yi. When he goes to Chongzhou next time, we’ll make our move. As long as he dies in Chongzhou, Xiahou Yi will never suspect us!”

The current top authority of the capital said this with utmost confidence.

Because only he knew very well that ever since Xiahou Yi retired and went to Chongzhou, the sea area around those islands that one needs to cross to get there has been under such tight security that it could be said to be even stricter than the military forts of the capital!

So, if Sheng Siyuan were to go there without notifying Xiahou Yi, it would be very normal for him to die in the sea.

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng’e finally took a deep breath of relief.

“Okay, then we’ll do as you say. I must kill this bastard, and dig out the heart in his chest that belonged to Xiuxiu, to transplant it into my Yan’er!”

This woman, as she spoke, ground her teeth with a grating sound.

—

City Y.

When Sheng Siyuan arrived at the Drug Rehabilitation Center looking travel-worn, the lights inside had gone out.

Seeing this, he couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.

This woman, was she really not waiting for him?

He stood at the door with a gloomy face, hesitating whether to climb in through the water pipe outside the ward again?

But just at that moment, a slender figure in a patient’s gown ran out from the inside.

“Husband, you’re here?”

It turned out to be Yin Hehe, who was waiting for him.

The man then stood in the dim light and hooked his lip, revealing a satisfied smile.

“Mhm, you didn’t sleep?” he asked as he walked over and reached out to pull the woman into his embrace.

The woman’s face flushed.

“No, didn’t you say you were coming? I sneaked here several times, but the nurses wouldn’t let me out.”

Yin Hehe replied with her ears tinged red, listening to the strong heartbeat in the man’s chest as she spoke.

Being considerate of him, not wanting him to come, was true.

But the joy of seeing him, impossible to hide, was also true…
