Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 527: Nobody Could Escape

“On the day they executed their plan, Huo Cong even wanted to rape his ex-wife to vent his anger before the other men did. But he got beaten by her. And it was at that time that the murderer took away her child.”

Mu Qiqi got goosebumps after listening to the whole story. She even had a numb feeling on her scalp.

“So, is Huo Cong arrested?”

“The leader is going to him now,” the police answered. “He’s simply a dumb decoy used by the others. After he is arrested, we will interrogate him carefully again on how he contacted the murderers.”

Mu Qiqi looked at the corpse. She was glad that she was finally able to appease the soul of the victim.

Two main culprits and one accomplice. Nobody could escape this time.

Feng Shanshan let out a sigh of relief after listening about the whole case. “What crazy people! Anyway, you have done a great job. You’re involved in this case from the beginning till the end. How was it?”

“I just feel sick. Although we’re able to appease the victim, I feel nauseated every time I think of the three cunning faces.”

“You will get used to it one day,” said the professor. “This should be a very valuable experience to you. Look at you, you are famous.”

“I was famous even before this, okay?” Mu Qiqi gave the two people a look.

So what about the Gu family now?

The shareholders were at Gu Mansion. The directors were at Gu Mansion. And the creditors were at Gu Mansion. Even the police came to their door and showed them an arrest warrant. They said to Mama Gu, “Is Huo Cong in?”

“Why don’t you police go arrest the murderer? Why do you keep coming to Gu Mansion? Don’t you know we have visitors here?” Mama Gu shouted angrily.

“Please read it carefully, Mrs. Gu. This is not a search warrant. This is an arrest warrant. Your brother is involved in a murder. The evidence is conclusive.”

Mama Gu took a few steps backward. “How is this possible? My brother told me that he has got nothing to do with the case!”

“You believe in his words? The face of a murderer won’t tell you that he is one.” Having said that, the leader gave an order to his subordinates. “Search the place. We must capture the suspect.”

Although Huo Cong felt guilty, he still thought that as long as he was not the murderer, nothing bad would happen to him. He believed that the Gu family would not leave him to fend for himself.

But when he saw the police coming to arrest him, he panicked. “Why are you arresting me? How many times have I told you? I didn’t kill anyone!”

“You are not the main culprit, but you are an accomplice.” The police handcuffed his hands.

“Sister, save me! I did not kill anyone. Sister, please believe me.”

But Mama Gu did not and could not look at her brother anymore. She was afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions. The whole Gu family was almost destroyed in his hands. What else did he want?

...

Subsequently, the media started to follow up with the case.

Everyone saw that Huo Cong was taken away by the police from Gu Mansion.

“Didn’t Second Sister-in-law keep saying that the problem of your uncle will be solved? What’s this? He’s arrested. She’s taking back her words so quickly,” Hu Ran said to Sheng Bowen while watching the news. “Mu Qiqi has made a big contribution.”

How could Gu Ziling have known that her uncle could be so cunning?

Now hiding in the room, she was even more afraid to go to the living room of Sheng Mansion. She did not want to look at Hu Ran and Sheng Bowen’s mocking faces.

Soon after, Mama Gu called Gu Ziling. “Ziling, I can’t bear it anymore.”

“Mother, is it really that bad?”

“We can still save your maternal grandfather’s business if we abandon the Gu family now. I don’t want to ruin everything and make you incapable of raising your head in the Sheng family. The shareholders have withdrawn all their capital. And the bank will also come to collect the debts for the amusement park. The shortage of funds in Gu Corporation will only worsen. Nothing good will come out of the vicious cycle. Your father’s gone crazy, your uncle is arrested, and your brother is not matured yet. With you and me alone, we won’t make it.”

“I will beg Grandpa, I’ll beg the Shengs to save us.” With those words, Gu Ziling ended the call. She could not accept that the Gu family was becoming bankrupt.

So, she rushed out of her room and knelt in front of Grandpa Sheng in the living room. “Grandpa, please save the Gu family. The Sheng family is my only hope now, Grandpa.”

Grandpa Sheng looked at the kneeling Gu Ziling. He kept mum for quite some time.

Of course, Hu Ran and Sheng Bowen were a little taken aback. They had not expected Gu Ziling to break down so suddenly.

“Ziling, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. But with the current situation of Gu Corporation, who would be willing to accept this mess? The amusement park project is worth tens of billions of dollars. It’s a huge hole that is very difficult to fill. Besides, the project is considered dead already because of the murder. Who would spend tens of billions just to fill the hole for Gu Corporation? You should accept the reality.”

Gu Ziling sat on the floor and cried. “This is all because of Mu Qiqi. She wants to take revenge on me. That’s why the matter has gotten to where it is now.”

Hu Ran rolled her eyes when she heard Gu Ziling’s remark. “It’s your uncle who killed a person. Did Mu Qiqi arrange that? It’s your uncle who let the murderers commit a crime in the basement. Did she arrange that as well? Gu Ziling, why can’t you find the reason behind this from within your own self instead of blaming others?”

“And you. You colluded with Mu Qiqi.”

“Xiao Ran, stop irritating her.” Sheng Bowen grabbed Hu Ran’s shoulder.

Right at that time, Sheng Kai arrived at the living room. Seeing Gu Ziling kneeling on the floor, his eyes turn red in anger. “Are you bullying Second Sister-in-law again?”

“Now now. This matter is not allowed to be mentioned in this house in the future. Ziling, you are the daughter-in-law of the Sheng family. So, carrying out your duty is more important than anything else.” Grandpa Sheng sighed and gave an order to Gu Ziling.

He blamed himself for his bad choice. Why did he form a relationship with the Gu family? He nearly made Sheng Xiao and Gu Ziling a couple.

Who would have known that the Gu family would become so vulnerable in just six months?

Sheng Kai glared at Hu Ran and Sheng Bowen. Then, he carried Gu Ziling into their room.

Hu Ran rolled her eyes again. She thought the couple was just too unreasonable.

“After this, Second Sister-in-law will only see Mu Qiqi as her number one enemy.”

“Don’t worry about that. Eighth Brother will take care of it. Besides, Qiqi is not someone Gu Ziling can deal with.” Third Brother comforted Hu Ran. “Have you ever seen her win a fight? I’m just curious why Grandpa does not chase her out of the Sheng family.”
