When questioned by the police, the maid who was most caring to Sheng Muyi insisted that she was resting in the room at the time and came out later when she heard the noise.
The two bodyguards also insisted that they always stayed outside the door of the young lady's room and never left.
About half a month after the incident, the maid and the two bodyguards left the Liuyuan Garden. The maid took Sheng Muyi's secret to a nunnery in Mount Wutai to become a monk, and the two bodyguards went to Brazil with the passports they had prepared previously.
There was no news once he left.
The other two bodyguards, Xia Heng and He Jin, were more unlucky. They didn't know anything about the situation, and they didn't participate in planning Sheng Muyi's escape. However, the Japanese were afraid that they had the secrets left by Muyi, so they killed them anyway.
Lost.
Xia Heng was poisoned and died miserably, and everything on his body was taken away.
Although He Jin was rescued by Lu Ming, he unfortunately became a vegetative state and was eventually killed by the Japanese.
Ozawa Seishiro set up an ambush at Tongren Hospital to capture Lu Ming. Firstly, he wanted to prevent Lu Ming from having the secrets that Ziyuan insisted on. The other was to capture one more hostage so that he could ask Yuan Ziyuan for a price in exchange for the secrets she hid.
Yuan Ziyuan only wanted to threaten the Japanese and deliberately claimed that she had a secret hidden in a certain place. If something happened to her and Sheng Muyi, the secret would be made public by her friends.
There is indeed this secret, which is the camera and a letter she left at the pawn shop after discussing it with Sheng Muyi.
Of course, the Japanese could not have imagined that the shocking secret they had tried so hard to uncover was not hidden in someone's body, but in a pawn shop that no one was paying attention to.
Sheng Youde has never proposed a plan to deal with Sheng Di, but he knows that this matter cannot be avoided and must be resolved eventually.
Two days later, Sheng Youde asked Lu Ming to accompany him to Sheng Di's room. After not seeing him for a few days, Sheng Di was already very haggard. Sheng Youde felt a little distressed when he saw it, but it was all his own fault.
Sheng Youde couldn't put the Sheng Di in front of him together with the traitor Sheng Di. In his mind, Sheng Di would always be the lively and cute nephew when he was young, and obedient and obedient when he grew up.
Sheng Di has figured it out in the past few days that there will be no good results waiting for him, so he simply stopped begging for mercy and gave up the struggle. He made one decision: to be a dead pig that is not afraid of being burned.
"I came to see you just to know one thing, why have you come to this point? You are a talent that I brought up and trained. Why on earth did you betray me, betray the entire family or even betray the country?" Sheng Youde calmly said
asked.
Sheng Di looked at Sheng Youde and then at Lu Ming, thinking about how to say what he was holding back in his heart. Lu Ming looked at him with a casual expression, which means I don't want to come see you either.
Your uncle is here, there is nothing we can do.
Sheng Youde reminded Sheng Di: "Don't say anything about being bewitched and brainwashed by the Japanese. These factors may be involved, but they are certainly not the most critical."
Sheng Di sat silently on the chair, seeming to have thought about it, and said quietly: "Uncle, I have always had a question in my heart. I want to figure it out before I die. Even if I die, I must be an understanding ghost."
Sheng Youde felt a little strange, but still said: "You ask, I am the same as Mu Yi, I never hide anything from you."
Sheng Di suddenly pointed at Lu Ming and asked loudly: "Then tell me, is Lu Ming your illegitimate son, and are you prepared to leave all your family property to him! Mu Yi and I are just covering up for him.
no?"
"What? Ah, I didn't understand. Say it again." Sheng Youde was stunned.
"I..." Lu Ming was also shocked and looked at Sheng Youde.
They never expected that Sheng Di would ask such a question, it was completely unexpected.
"Oh, brother, you are really out of your mind, and you are really starting to think wildly." Lu Ming went over and touched Sheng Di's head to see if he had a fever and was confused, or was pretending to be crazy.
Sheng Di pushed Lu Ming's hand away and shouted loudly: "Stop pretending to be compassionate. Let me tell you the truth. It's because of you that I am what I am today."
"I... I said Sheng Di, are you really crazy or are you pretending to be crazy? Does your matter have anything to do with me?" Lu Ming's mind exploded.
Illegitimate child? What kind of disaster is this from? For Lu Ming, it is not about avoiding it, nor is it about facing it.
First of all, what Sheng Di said is true or false, and Lu Ming cannot prove it himself. Secondly, if it is true, he cannot escape the suspicion of setting up a trap to frame others. Thirdly, if it is false, in the eyes of outsiders, he is the biggest profiteer.
.
"I'm not crazy, nor am I pretending to be crazy. I'm telling the truth, the truth that has been buried in my heart for more than a year." Sheng Di shouted loudly.
"Why do you think so?" Sheng Youde asked.
Sheng Youde was very calm at the moment. Based on his attitude towards Lu Ming over the years, this suspicion seemed to be valid. Of course, only a hard-core person would think so.
"Why do I think so? I am your nephew, and the blood of the Sheng family flows in my body. I have been busy and working hard for you in the past few years, but in the end, how did you treat my nephew?
You have always claimed that you treat me as your biological son, but you only plan to leave me 5% of your family property. Is this correct?" Sheng Di asked.
"Have you peeked at my will?" Sheng Youde understood somewhat.
"Yes, I peeked at your will, otherwise I would have been deceived by you, working hard for you, waiting for you to reward the poor five percent, and he didn't have to do anything.
But you gave him a 10% share. Ask people in this world, does this make sense?" Sheng Di said with tears and snot flowing down his nose.
"Well, keep talking, I'm listening, what else is there." Sheng Youde pressed his rising and falling chest, wanting to know all his thoughts.
"This ten percent is not the final distribution, right? I don't know how many ambush you laid in your will. So tell me the truth. I just want to know if he is your illegitimate son?" Sheng Di said emotionally.
.
"You bastard, if you dare to talk nonsense again, let's see if I dare to strangle you to death." Lu Ming was so angry that he grabbed Sheng Di's neck with both hands and pinched it hard.
Sheng Di was choked so hard that he couldn't breathe, his face turned purple and his eyes bulged out.
"Let go!" Sheng Youde shouted hurriedly.
Lu Ming let go of his hand and sat on Sheng Di's bed with a huff. He could tolerate anything, but he would never tolerate anyone insulting the Lu family's reputation. His parents could not be accused for no reason.
Sheng Youde was extremely calm. At this time, he also understood why his nephew betrayed him. It turned out to be for the family property.
In the past, princes betrayed their fathers for imperial power, and sons of rich men betrayed their own fathers for family property. This was also a drama that had been played out in this ancient land for thousands of years.
"You are wrong. Do you know why his share is 10%?" Sheng Youde asked.
"I don't know and I can't figure out why he and Mu Yi were sent abroad to study by you in the first place and I could only stay in the country to work for you. Why did he not have to do anything after returning to Shanghai and just wander around all day long?
, I can still win your favor, but I am very busy with the family business, but I am always scolded by you." Sheng Di continued to vent.
"Okay, you can say everything you want to say today. This is a rare opportunity. Say it all and I will tell you why." Sheng Youde understood what Sheng Di was thinking and was not in a hurry.
"Why have you always loved him more than you have loved me since you were a child? You always say that you love me as much as you love Mu Yi, but this should be said to Lu Ming. You probably don't have me as a nephew in your heart.
In terms of status, you should only have Mu Yi and Lu Ming in your heart, right? Why is this all happening?" After Sheng Di calmed down, he still had an unruly look on his face.
When Lu Ming heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate. Although Sheng Di's words could not be the reason for him to become a traitor, from the perspective of family ties, it was not unreasonable.
Lu Ming looked at Sheng Youde, trying to see something on his face, but found nothing.
Lu Ming knew that Sheng Youde had always favored him, and this was always obvious. Everyone just said that he was a rare attraction, and no one thought about it deeply.
