Chapter 881: The Real Mystery Caller (4)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Sheng Yize was born the callous type, and with what Sheng Qingyi had done to him, he actually didn’t have much of an idea what a normal family felt like.
If someone used Sheng Qingyi’s life to threaten him, he would brush it aside without hesitation.
But it was different for An Xiaxia. The An family had been so kind to her and she loved her father and brother very much. When someone threatened her with the lives of the people she cared for the most, the horror she must have felt was unfathomable.
Sheng Yize rubbed her head. “It’s all over now… do cheer up…”
An Xiaxia stubbornly fought back her tears and went on telling her story. “That person stopped calling after I moved away… until we met again in Ye City and my brother nearly had an accident… Fortunately, he was able to walk away unscathed.”
“So, this person has been following both of us. It’s very likely that it’s someone we know,” Sheng Yize reasoned. “Who do you think it could be?”
An Xiaxia bit her lip. “I think there were two of them. One was your father… and the other was a woman.”
She played the recordings of the old phone calls and Sheng Yize listened with a frown.
After a moment, he uttered a name, sounding very certain. “Li Fanxing.”
“Huh?” An Xiaxia was shocked. “How do you know?”
Had Li Fanxing’s love for Sheng Qingyi turned into jealousy and hatred, which made her join hands with Sheng Qingyi to take revenge on An Xiaxia?
Sheng Yize caressed her hair to soothe her. “I’m not 100% sure. It’s just that based on all the evidence we’ve collected so far, she’s the most possible suspect.”
“But… what if it isn’t her?”
Sheng Yize’s smile looked merciless. “Better her than us!”
All he cared about was the safety of An Xiaxia and the babies!
“…” An Xiaxia didn’t know what to say.
After An Xiaxia fell asleep, Sheng Yize told the nanny to keep an eye on her, then drove to the old Sheng family home.
Sheng Qingyi sat alone in a rattan chair in the yard with a gramophone beside him, which was playing an old song from his time.
He had lost all the vigor he used to have and just sat there, devoid of any vitality.
Sheng Yize strolled toward him and stopped by his side.
Sheng Qingyi was surprised by his arrival and it took him a moment to react. “Yize… you’re back… Please, sit down.”
“That won’t be necessary,” said Sheng Yize coldly. “I’m just here to tell you this: that mysterious caller that you used to work with called Xiaxia again and threatened to harm Cola and Pepsi.”
“What?!” Sheng Qingyi was astonished. “Gosh… That person must have lost their mind…”
“Something must have triggered that person, driving him or her insane. Who knows what that person will do next? Tell me, are you just going to sit there while Cola and Pepsi’s lives are at stake?” Sheng Yize narrowed his eyes, examining the look on Sheng Qingyi’s face.
Sheng Qingyi said awkwardly, “Of course not…”
“Then tell me who that person is!”
Sheng Qingyi shuddered in his chair and his mouth fell open. He then fell forward onto his face.
“Stop pretending!” Sheng Yize bellowed furiously. However, Sheng Qingyi remained motionless after a long while.
Realizing that something was wrong, he called the family doctor right away…
–
Sheng Yize didn’t get back home until very late. He woke An Xiaxia up when he climbed into bed.
An Xiaxia asked in a sleepy voice, “Did he tell you?”
“Yes… he did. Go back to sleep…” Sheng Yize said vaguely.
But An Xiaxia wouldn’t go back to sleep. She pressed, “Who was it?”
