Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Someone Got There First
Ye Shu wanted to follow and ask what was going on, but Ou Linlin grabbed her and said, “Don’t go. Some things are probably better discussed between brothers. If we’re present, they might not be able to talk at all. I see that your Ah Chen is troubled. Let Sun Nanjue talk to him. Later on, I’ll help you coax the details out of that guy’s mouth. Don’t worry.”
Atop the main building’s rooftop garden of Shengjing Garden, Sheng Shaochen lit a cigar and took a deep drag, his brows knitted tightly together, betraying a deep sense of helplessness.
Just as he was about to take a second drag, Sun Nanjue snatched the cigar away. After two puffs, he laughed and said, “In the past, I couldn’t snatch a cigarette from your lips because you were always faster than me. Seeing how sluggish you are now, I can only imagine how much trouble you’re in. What’s happened to you?”
Sheng Shaochen looked out at Jin City, recalling the time when he was striving to make his mark. No matter how insurmountable the challenges had seemed, he had never taken them to heart. But now, trapped between the two most important women in his life, he was indeed finding the situation a headache.
“Why aren’t you speaking?” asked Sun Nanjue. “Though I may not be able to help you, as your brother, don’t I have the right to know your difficulties?”
“You don’t need to know.” Sheng Shaochen re-lit another cigar. “Nan Jue, remember this: no matter what happens to me, and if there’s ever a special situation, you must help me take care of Ye Shu.”
“Why would I need to take care of her if you’re around?” Sun Nanjue joked, yet a chilling feeling crept into his heart. What was this guy talking about? It sounded a bit like he was settling his affairs. Could there really be some serious trouble?
“Enough talk, I’m just saying ‘if.'” Sheng Shaochen had always been confident, as all his opponents eventually fell beneath his feet. But he was well aware of his grandmother’s maneuvers, and when facing her, he might have moments of weakness…
“Alright, I promise you. As long as An Zhe and I are alive, we won’t let anything happen to Little Shushu. You can be at ease.”
“I trust you!” Sheng Shaochen clapped Sun Nanjue on the shoulder. His phone vibrated a few times, and when he looked, it was Guan Jiu calling.
“Is everything settled?” Sheng Shaochen asked blandly.
“It’s not settled, Young Master. The staff at the sperm bank said that your frozen sperm was moved out of the hospital over half a month ago. The person who came to process the paperwork was Nanny Chen from the Sheng Mansion.”
Sheng Shaochen was speechless at the news. After hanging up the phone, he fiercely kicked the pillar on the rooftop.
When the phone rang again, Sheng Shaochen caught sight of three words out of the corner of his eye: Director Yu.
That was the head of the police department. His call to Sheng Shaochen at this time felt somewhat ominous.
Sun Nanjue suddenly pointed down to the ground floor. “No need to pick up. He’s already arrived downstairs.”
Three or four police cars entered in sequence, pulling into the parking lot at the bottom of Shengjing Garden. A man in plain clothes got out of the car, greeted the Sheng Family’s security guards, and walked straight towards the building.
It was clear that this man must have met with the Sheng Family’s security guards on more than a few occasions. Before he could walk up, Sheng Shaochen and Sun Nanjue had already gone down to meet him and invited him into the side hall on the second floor.
Sheng Shaochen said, “Director Yu, what brings you here today with so much commotion and a personal visit?”
