Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Not a Single One Gives Peace of Mind_1

At that moment, the leader of the workgroup had already left for some time.

Shangguan Yunqi looked at the papers on the table.

These were the statements that the leader asked her to write.

Shangguan Yunqi’s hands trembled, and she couldn’t write a single word.

She was still in the hospital ward.

Every day, her health was being checked.

It seemed that as long as she was alive, this matter would never end.

Xia Bowen, that heartless bastard, was nothing but a treacherous dog when it came to seeing profit over loyalty.

He didn’t speak a word in his own defense.

Even Xia Ming said there was no other way; what should be known was already known, and it was nearly impossible to disentangle oneself.

Even if you were to perform a meritorious service, it would still be a matter of atonement for one’s sins.

Xia Ming also advised her to come clean, to reflect on her mistakes and accept whatever punishment was due.

This matter might then pass.

At this thought, Shangguan Yunqi’s eyes grew sinister, and she threw the manuscript papers onto the floor.

Damn Song Yunuan, it was all because of her; if it weren’t for her, how could she have fallen into this predicament.

That little bitch, even a thousand cuts would not suffice to quell the hatred in her heart.

At that moment, Xia Bowen pushed the door open and came in.

Seeing the papers scattered on the floor, he frowned, but still silently picked them up.

Then he placed them back on the table.

He asked Shangguan Yunqi, who was glaring at him furiously, "How about this; let’s assume for a moment."

Shangguan Yunqi ignored him.

Xia Bowen, unconcerned, continued, "Suppose I stand with you. Then, how do we fight back?"

Shangguan Yunqi’s lips quivered slightly.

"Xia Xindong can recount all the details of that year accurately. Even if I defend you, he has been locked up by Shangguan Heng. How do you explain that?"

"Who am I, anyway? Even if I have some power now, can I cover the sky with one hand?"

"Also, I warn you again, don’t mess with Little Nuan. That child is not simple; don’t underestimate her."

"Don’t end up lifting a rock only to drop it on your own foot and face irreversible doom. It’ll be too late for regrets then."

"Shangguan Yunqi, you claim to love your children, yet what you’re doing and your stubborn resistance are harming them."

"The day after tomorrow, we set off. Everything is ready. I’ll come to pick you up."

After saying all this, Xia Bowen sighed and then left the ward with heavy steps.

Shangguan Yunqi ground her teeth in anger.

Yet deep down, she felt a chill.

Xia Bowen didn’t even ask about her health; he seemed indifferent to whether she lived or died.

Indeed, if she died, the happiest people would probably be Xia Bowen and that little bitch.

She couldn’t die; she had to live well.

Meanwhile, Xia Bowen encountered his younger brother, Third Child Xia, who had been waiting for him at the main entrance.

In a short time, Third Child Xia had visibly lost a lot of weight.

Xia Bowen looked impatiently at his good-for-nothing younger brother and asked, "Do you need something from me?"

He was very busy.

Busy making preparations on all fronts.

The workgroup was supposed to have departed earlier, but the director of the research institute, Old Lui, insisted on joining them.

As well as Factory Director Ma from Beidu First Pharmaceuticals Main Factory.

He felt restless and exhausted.

But he had to keep going.

If he fell, this family would be utterly ruined.

For now, the primary plan was to admit guilt and accept punishment, to sincerely confess their errors, and to hope for forgiveness from Xia Xindong and Little Nuan.

If it doesn’t work out, that would be the second option.

But that’s what he didn’t want to see.

And a path he didn’t want to take.

So, he was also impatient with Third Child Xia.

Third Child Xia dragged Xia Bowen to a quiet place, with a mournful face, he said to Xia Bowen, "Big bro, what should I do?"

Xia Bowen rubbed his forehead, saying irritatedly, "What have you done now, Third Child Xia, I warn you, if you dare to commit misdeeds under my name again, I’ll personally send you to prison."

Third Child Xia hurriedly assured him, "I didn’t, big bro, I’ve been on leave recently, I didn’t cause any trouble."

"If that’s the case, why are you here, and why keep taking leaves, go back to work right away." He added a final reminder, "Don’t give me any trouble at this time."

Third Child Xia looked distressed.

He had suffered too much recently.

He could even remember the words Song Yunuan told him in his dreams.

When Song Yunuan said those words, she was like a little demon climbing out of hell, always frightening him awake from his dreams.

He didn’t dare to tell his big brother about this.

But if he didn’t say anything, he didn’t know what to do.

Seeing that Xia Bowen was unwilling to pay attention to him and was already heading straight for the parking area, Third Child Xia grabbed Xia Bowen, saying urgently, "Big bro, do you know what that dead girl Song Yunuan said to me when I went to Nanshan County Town that time?"

Third Child Xia hadn’t been to his big brother’s house for a while, so he had no idea about what had happened there.

When Xia Bowen heard Song Yunuan’s name, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He stared intently at Third Child Xia and asked, word by word, "Tell me, what did Little Nuan say to you?"

Third Child Xia felt a cold sweat break out on his back because he sensed something was off with his big brother, and why was he calling Song Yunuan "Little Nuan"?

Third Child Xia’s lips trembled.

Xia Bowen had to soften his voice, speaking gently, "You don’t have to be so nervous, tell me, what did Song Yunuan say to you?"

That’s when Third Child Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He couldn’t keep it to himself, and now his only hope was his big bro.

So he told Xia Bowen about what Song Yunuan had said to him, picking and choosing his words carefully.

"... Big bro, Song Yunuan said she could see Huang... Xiaocui, that, my former wife, Tie Dan’s real mom, and she also said she’s always following me, wanting my life.

I haven’t been able to eat or sleep well these days, big bro, you know a lot of high monks, please help me, see if you can expel that... that Huang Xiaocui, better to make her soul scatter, so she won’t follow me anymore, big bro, I beg you, help me..."

Xia Bowen felt a weight in his chest.

Song Yunuan knew too well what Shangguan Yunqi had done.

She nearly had full control over everything.

But he hadn’t figured it out until today.

He had been planning to slowly talk it over with Little Nuan in Nanshan County Town.

Because there were too many irrational things.

Little Nuan said she had dreamt about it.

He didn’t believe it, but currently, there was no better explanation.

So he just had to put his doubts aside for now.

And now there was this matter with Third Child Xia.

On what basis did she say that?

Xia Bowen lowered his voice and questioned Third Child Xia, "What else did Song Yunuan say?"

Third Child Xia hung his head and didn’t speak.

From Xia Bowen’s angle, he could see his little brother, Third Child Xia, shaking in his legs.

And looking at his haggard appearance, which aged him by more than a decade, it seemed he had a really rough time recently.

Why should he be afraid?

Xia Bowen didn’t need to think to know that Third Child Xia was feeling guilty.

One by one, none of them were worry-free.

It didn’t feel significant until something happened, and when it did, their true colors showed.

At that moment, Xia Bowen just felt utterly exhausted.

If they weren’t outside, Xia Bowen truly wanted to kick his troublemaking brother so hard...
