Chapter 371 How can there be a small family without a big family?
Bai Xun and Supervisor Zhang were talking when a servant suddenly came in hurriedly to report.
"Supervisor, the second master of the Sheng family is dead!"
Supervisor Zhang glanced at Bai Xun and asked in surprise, "Who died?"
"Second Master of the Sheng Family!"
"Sheng Yuquan? So suddenly? How did he die?" Supervisor Zhang asked.
"He was beaten to death by many people!" the man replied.
Supervisor Zhang looked puzzled. "What do you mean by 'many people'? Please explain in detail!"
The visitor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly, "I heard that the second master of the Sheng family was driving his car very fast in the downtown area, and he hit an old man's donkey cart used to pull vegetables. The second master of the Sheng family didn't get out of the car, but his driver did and cursed the old man selling vegetables.
Passersby couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to help the old man argue with him, but the driver brought up the name of Mr. Sheng, with an arrogant and contemptuous look. These days, everyone is resentful of Mr. Sheng's second master because of Mr. Chunxiao's arrest.
Who knew he would do this again... Seeing his expression, the onlookers were furious. Without further ado, they surrounded the car and dragged out the Second Master of the Sheng Family. Actually, if the Second Master had just given in and said some nice things, the matter would have been over. But who knew the Second Master would actually pull out a gun...
The crowd's rage intensified, and dozens of them swarmed over him, giving him a beating! According to eyewitnesses... even passing dogs bit him. "I went to see, and the second master of the Sheng family was so badly beaten he was a bloody mess, and you couldn't even tell his nose or eyes apart."
"Oh, what a big deal! There are dozens of perpetrators? Who should be arrested?" Supervisor Zhang shrugged.
"Congratulations to Director Zhang, congratulations to Director Zhang!" Bai Xun said with a smile.
"Where does your joy come from?" Supervisor Zhang asked in confusion.
"Hasn't your worry just now been solved?" Bai Xun said with a smile, "The instigator is dead. Isn't it still up to you to decide what crime he bears? Throwing the body to the Japanese will be an explanation. Can't the people framed by the Second Master be released?
Besides, dozens of people have already started fighting, so it's not appropriate for you to arrest anyone. The public is furious, and in everyone's eyes, beating him to death is a way of upholding justice and being chivalrous. If you arrest anyone... I'm afraid everyone's anger will be difficult to calm down for a while."
Supervisor Zhang smiled. "My dear nephew, what you said makes sense! I won't go into that trouble! Since he's dead, there's no point in pursuing the matter further. They'll tell the Japanese that Sheng Yuquan colluded with the rebels, deliberately tipped off Sheng Yu'an, let him go, and then framed Mr. Chunxiao!"
Sheng Mansion.
"Father, my second uncle...is dead." Sheng Zexi came hurriedly.
Sheng Yuqing was slightly startled and put down the teacup in his hand. He sat there quietly, looking at the road at the door, his eyes empty and distant.
His mother doted on Yuquan, making him spoiled and unreasonable.
"Big brother is biased!" Little Sheng Yuquan put his hands on his hips angrily.
Sheng Yuqing put down the chess piece in his hand and said helplessly: "Yuquan, don't be unreasonable."
"Big brother is biased! Everyone can see that you like the third brother, who is sweet-mouthed but has a sharp tongue and hides a knife behind his smile!" Sheng Yuquan yelled.
Sheng Yuqing laughed and said, "Oh, you even learned idioms just to curse people?"
Sheng Yuquan blushed, stamped her feet, and said angrily, "You...I am your biological brother! You can't take sides with him!"
Sheng Yuqing said, "I will favor whoever is well-behaved and obedient. There is no one in the world who doesn't like well-behaved and obedient children."
Sheng Yuquan pouted and ran away.
After that, his arrogant and willful younger brother behaved much better in front of him.
Although most of the time it is pretend.
Sheng Yuqing wore a wry smile, his brows furrowed slightly. He stood up, lit a stick of incense for Old Man Sheng, and then poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of his spirit tablet.
"Dad, it was because I, the unqualified eldest brother, didn't do my job well enough that Yuquan went astray. Now it's all good. There are no more scumbags in my Sheng family!"
Sheng Zexi, who was standing by, kowtowed to the old man.
"Dad, let's go! Leave here with me."
Sheng Yuqing sighed: "Although... the mountains and rivers are broken and the wind and rain are blowing, this is still my home."
"Dad, I know you're reluctant, and I know what you want to do. But if you lose your life, won't you be able to accomplish anything? I've already transferred most of the Sheng family's assets. We can make money outside and continue to support the country.
"Fourth Uncle... Oh, by the way, Fourth Uncle really needs financial support. We can help him later. As far as I know, he has already transferred some of his assets to Xiangcheng and built his own factory there," Sheng Zexi advised.
Sheng Yuqing was hesitant.
"Dad, in this huge Sheng family, you are the only relative I can rely on now. Please... don't leave your son alone!" Sheng Zexi said, wiping away his tears.
Sheng Yuqing was silent for a while, then knelt in front of Grandpa Sheng's spirit tablet with red eyes.
"Father... the Sheng family... I am going to abandon the Sheng family. Please don't be angry. I am sacrificing my small family for the greater family. Without the greater family, how can there be a small family?"
Before Sheng Zexi left, he came to find Nanchun.
Nanchun kept her promise and invited him to dinner.
"Nanchun wants to treat me to a meal, why are you following her like a dog-skin plaster?" Sheng Zexi looked at Bai Xun beside Nanchun and said unhappily.
Bai Xun picked up a piece of pork ribs for Nanchun and said calmly, "It's just that Mr. Sheng's character is not trustworthy."
Sheng Zexi curled his lips and thought to himself: Character? You might be the most evil-hearted person!
"Nanchun, those things in the dock warehouse... please help me pass them to Fourth Uncle. Although I don't know exactly what you are doing, I know in my heart that you are doing something that will benefit our country!
As for the rest... I can't help much. I'll just give you as much as I can in terms of supplies and money! I'll contact you when I'm abroad, and if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know."
Nanchun raised his glass and said, "Mr. Sheng is righteous!"
Sheng Zexi clinked glasses with him and drank it all in one gulp.
"Nanchun, are you really not going with me? I'm afraid we can't hold out here for much longer." Sheng Zexi looked at him worriedly.
Nan Chun smiled and said, "The Fourth Master said that everyone should do their job, fulfill their responsibilities, and make the best use of things. I have things I want to do!"
Sheng Zexi sighed.
After dinner, we said our goodbyes.
Nanchun and Baixun left together. Sheng Zexi looked at their departing backs and felt bitter in his heart.
He suddenly remembered what Chunxiao had said to him.
"Master Sheng, do you know why you lost?"
"You don't understand Nanchun."
Yes, he really doesn’t understand Nanchun.
Nanchun will not escape.
And Bai Xun will remain steadfast and fully support what Nanchun wants to do.
This is something he can't do.
