Chapter 393: Chapter 393 Body Search
The old man stayed silent.
The room was in an uproar.
The rain outside grew heavier and heavier, splashing up a thin layer of mist that cloaked the distant building like a veil of gauze over the world.
Sheng Tang watched them quietly.
"If I lived in this villa, I would definitely go crazy," she thought to herself.
Life shouldn’t be this chaotic.
They must be fighting among themselves all the time, but now that Professor Sheng is here, they are united against him.
Professor Sheng’s face was ashen. He wasn’t good at arguing, and now the anger blocking his throat had rendered him speechless.
Meanwhile, Fang Mengying was arguing with them.
Sheng Zong was very flustered, gripping Sheng Tang’s hand tightly and trembling incessantly.
He wasn’t a child and he could tell that today’s events were targeted at him.
"It’s alright," Sheng Tang squeezed his hand back and smiled at him.
Since the old man didn’t intervene, the arguing showed no sign of stopping.
Sister-in-law Qian and the other servants huddled to the side, muttering quietly.
"They are picking on Professor Sheng’s family again," Sister-in-law Qian said sympathetically.
"It’s always like this. I feel sorry for them. If it were me, I wouldn’t come,"
"They have no choice. If they don’t come, the old man has Secretary Cai call countless times. The old man has a favor to Professor Sheng, and Professor Sheng values loyalty. And then Secretary Cai presses him a bit, he’s left with no choice but to come," Sister-in-law Qian said fairly.
She had worked for the Sheng Family for more than ten years and knew the situation well.
The servants didn’t dare to speak up loudly.
The old man remained silent, but his peripheral vision glanced at Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang seemed to be waiting for something, attentively listening to their bickering.
"Plan carefully before acting. This young girl is quite composed," the old man thought.
She’s truly a rare talent.
She doesn’t panic in a crisis; someone with such psychological resilience is destined for great things.
Sheng Tang heard the Second Madam say to Fang Mengying, "If you’re so innocent, then let’s search your bodies."
Fang Mengying’s face turned bright red with anger, "You have no right to search us! If you want to search, call the police and let them do it!"
"You think we wouldn’t dare call the police? Last time your daughter hit Zhang really hard, and you never called the police. Your father was protecting you," the Second Madam retorted furiously.
The topic had now turned to the old man.
Wasn’t the old man partial to them? Now let’s see, what kind of nonsense has he done?
These poor wretches should never have been brought into the house.
The others were worried that the old man would get angry and cautiously glanced at him.
They saw the old man sitting still, his expression slightly moved.
The Second Madam, thinking the old man also suspected Sheng Sidong’s son, got even more brazen and demanded to search Sheng Sidong and his family of four.
The others immediately agreed.
Sheng Tang, seeing the time was ripe, stood up.
The old man’s gaze sharpened, knowing the moment Sheng Tang had been waiting for had come.
He glanced at Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang smiled, standing amidst the heated throng, her aura distinctly elegant and outstanding.
"A body search?" Sheng Tang spoke, her lips curling with a hint of a sarcastic smile, "Sure. But this is where you live, and you know it better. If we’re going to do a body search, let’s start with you! Equality for all. If you agree to be searched first, we will consent to be searched as well."
Sheng Qiao immediately spoke up before his parents could, "We act openly and aren’t afraid of being searched! Grandfather’s pocket watch was given to him by my grandmother and is very important.
For grandfather’s sake, I am willing to be the first to be searched. If we dare, do you dare? Whoever doesn’t dare has a guilty conscience."
Sheng Zhang and Sheng Rong, who were part of the plan, also voiced their agreement with Sheng Qiao.
In Sheng Tang’s eyes, a faint glimmer of success flickered, a sign of a plan well-executed.
