Chapter 568: I’m Timid or My Lover Will Worry for Me

The happiest part of the function for Mu Qiqi was when she got to see Sheng Minglan and Jing Yun.

After Sheng Minglan got pregnant, she looked much softer than before. She exuded a distinct motherly vibe.

Thinking back about how they got together, it really was not easy. In a blink of an eye, Jing Yun was becoming a father.

“Xiao Qi.”

Sheng Minglan had sensed a drastic change in Mu Qiqi. Since the last time she met Mu Qiqi in person, when Jing Yun went to Zhongteng for a meeting, she had only seen this girl on the television.

It seemed like she could surprise people every time.

“Why are you standing so far away from me?”

“I have been working with corpses all day. I’m afraid I will affect you somehow,” said Mu Qiqi. “Didn’t people always say that a pregnant woman should get close to a blessed person.”

“Are you not blessed?” Sheng Minglan playfully glared at her. “You are not just a blessed person, you are a righteous person.”

Seeing the two women had got each other’s company, the two men looked at each other and walked away to join the other guests.

Knowing that Sheng Minglan was pregnant, Sheng Xiao slowly took a glass of champagne and gave Jing Yun a toast. “I didn’t expect that you to be faster than me in becoming a father.”

“You should work harder, Chief Sheng.” Jing Yun smiled.

Sheng Xiao gave him a look. He knew the little one was just twenty and could not get pregnant yet.

However, this showed that Jing Yun anticipated very much becoming a father.

Sheng Minglan saw Sheng Xiao’s gaze across the crowd and said to Mu Qiqi, “Looks like Eighth Brother is jealous.”

“Huh?” Mu Qiqi could not understand.

Sheng Minglan stroked her stomach and hinted at her.

Mu Qiqi flushed. “It’s still too early…”

“That’s why I said he is jealous.”

“We will have one sooner or later.”

Sheng Minglan imagined that when Mu Qiqi had a child, it would be a treasure to the Sheng family and the Shen family. And then she pictured what Eighth Brother’s face would look like then. He would show off his child to everyone. Thinking of this, she chuckled.

“What is it?”

“Nothing.”

Mu Qiqi turned around. She wanted to get some food for the pregnant woman at the buffet area. But when she passed by the wine area, she saw a man in a dark green suit. His legs were typical bowlegs, and his figure was very similar to the man in the picture the paparazzo took at Shen Qing’s villa.

Seeing the changes in her face, Sheng Minglan asked, “What’s wrong?”

“The man just now…”

Mu Qiqi waved at Sheng Xiao not far away from her. He came to her swiftly.

“What is it?”

“Xiaoxiao, do you know that man?” Mu Qiqi pointed at the man standing at the wine area.

“He’s Xie Yingsheng’s brother, the person in charge of Huayue,” said Sheng Xiao. “Why? Is he related to your case?”

The police had interrogated Xie Yingsheng but found nothing. Since his brother was not in the country at that time, they did not pay much attention to Xie Lin.

However, when Mu Qiqi saw this man, she had a strong feeling that he was not an outsider in Shen Qing’s case.

But of course, investigating a case cannot depend solely on instinct.

“Then do you have any connection with Xie Lin?”

“We can only be counted as acquaintances.” Having said that, Sheng Xiao pinched Mu Qiqi’s nose. “Even if you are suspicious, you can’t show it on your face. Are you trying to tell him that you are suspicious and to become wary of you?”

Mu Qiqi was taken aback for a moment and quickly said, “Okay. I’ll be careful next time.”

“He won’t run away. You can investigate afterward.”

“Xiaoxiao, do you know anything else?” Mu Qiqi looked at the man who was teasing her with anticipation. “If you don’t like to talk about this on such occasions, we’ll talk later when we get home.”

“It’ll depend on what you want to know.” Sheng Xiao pointed to his cheek. His hint was obvious.

Mu Qiqi pecked on his cheek and asked, “I want to know if he knows any martial arts or…”

“I’m not sure about that. But I know that he’s good at playing golf and baseball. I’ve bumped into him several times.”

Baseball…

Mu Qiqi suddenly thought of Sheng Qing’s wound.

“Are you coming to investigate a case or to join the party?” Sheng Minglan couldn’t help but ask. “You’ve already started to develop some occupational habits. What will become of you in the future?”

Hearing Sheng Minglan’s words, Mu Qiqi put away all her doubts in her mind and returned to her normal self.

“This is just a coincidence.”

In the midst of their conversation Xie Lin walked up to Sheng Xiao and greeted him. “Long time no see.”

“Long time no see.”

“I came here just to ask if your wife has an opinion on me? Because I feel that the way she looked at me is a bit… weird.”

Xie Lin was straightforward and he looked at Mu Qiqi with complex eyes.

Mu Qiqi cleared her throat and answered, “I am just surprised that Mr. Xie and your brother can actually look so similar.”

“A young girl has a strong curiosity about the world. Even I sometimes am confused by her bizarre thoughts. You don’t have to feel disturbed,” Sheng Xiao quickly explained.

“Great. Let’s play golf together sometimes when you are free.” Xie Lin did not ask anymore but he was very observant.

After that, he turned around and left.

Sheng Xiao looked at Mu Qiqi. “I think if you become a criminal police officer, you will definitely not survive until the second day. Luckily, you’re just a forensic doctor. I thought you were very capable already, but this is how you perform in front of me?”

“I know where I am now,” Mu Qiqi said helplessly, “Don’t worry, before Shen Qing’s case is solved, I won’t go anywhere alone. I’m timid. I’m timid or my lover will worry for me.”

Hearing her words, Sheng Xiao’s face became less ugly.

However, Xie Lin must have sensed something already, since Mu Qiqi had appeared on the television before.

In order not to delay her doubts any further, Mu Qiqi called the professor once the function was over. “Xie Yingsheng’s brother, Xie Lin, has O-shaped legs. He’s good at playing baseball and golf, too.”

“The team has started investigating his social relationship,” said the professor, “Because Tang Yan had discovered a detail in the photo. The man has a scar on his neck, which Xie Yingsheng does not have.”

“He’s so cunning. He deliberately concealed it so that we cannot see from any angle. Tang Yan could only see it after staring at the photo for a long time using a magnifying glass.

“I’ve met with him just now. He’s very observant. I think he is not so easy to deal with.” Mu Qiqi agreed with the professor.
