Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 406
Chapter 406: Xu Che, That Is Not The Posture Of Kneeling
“Xu Che, that isn’t the posture of kneeling.” In his seat, Sheng Xiao did not move an inch aside from his lips.
And upon hearing his orders, Xu Che promptly dragged all three men along and forced them to kneel on the floor in front of Sheng Xiao.
“I really couldn’t have told that you three are so masochistic. You’re actually in such a hurry to kneel before me.”
“Don’t get full yourself, Sheng Xiao! Your family won’t have peace if you cross me again!” One of the trio exclaimed.
Sheng Xiao shot a fierce glare at him, and Xu Che’s palm landed precisely across his face.
“I really couldn’t have known that you have the gall to find trouble with the Shen family. Well, since I have no power or influence now, why don’t you try something with the Shen family?
“D-don’t think I wouldn’t dare.”
Already not bothered to talk then, Sheng Xiao leaned into his seat. “Xu Che, you handle the rest.”
The trio did a double take—Xu Che’s moves were not to be joked around with.
“Bastard, let us go! Wait until our people are here if you’re really so great!”
Sheng Xiao couldn’t help laughing at that, just as Secretary He arrived at the private cubicle then with the others.
He frowned at the scene.
Surprisingly, one of the trio recognized Secretary He and quickly begged for help, “Oh, Secretary He, I’m Xiao Long. You know my parents, help me! Sheng Xiao is crazy!”
“What’s this, Sheng Xiao?” Secretary He asked Sheng Xiao instead.
“These three came in and demanded me to kneel. They probably wanted the experience of humiliating me, seeing that I don’t have any influence now.”
“But those three are the ones kneeling…” Secretary He was rather taken aback.
“Xu Che was being gentle.” Sheng Xiao answered.
Secretary He nodded and turned to the trio on the floor again—especially at the one named Xiao Long, who was still hoping that Secretary He would save him.
However, Secretary He merely said, “Take them next door to kneel, Xu Che. It should be a good lesson for them, misbehaving just because their parents have some money and influence.
The trio was left dumbstruck at that.
“Understood, Secretary He. Please take your time while I deal with these three.”
Soon after the trio was cleared out of the room, Secretary He asked Sheng Xiao, “Is it enough with only Xu Che around you? Shouldn’t you get a few more heads to ensure your safety?”
“Xu Che alone is enough.” Sheng Xiao smiled.
“Brother, although we shouldn’t be too extravagant in this line of work and show outsiders a bad example, you are being a tightwad. You have to ensure your basic safety.”
“Don’t worry. I have that covered.”
Secretary He said nothing else then. He couldn’t do anything to Sheng Xiao, having fully come to understand the youth’s charm since they’ve started working together.
Meanwhile, the trio of rich kids had knelt for so long that their feet had gone numb, but they did not dare to move because Xu Che was watching them, hanging their heads as they whispered to each other.
“Didn’t you say that the Crown Prince has nothing now? Why would he be acquainted with someone important like Secretary He, then? And they seem close, from the looks of things.”
“I wouldn’t have gotten into this mess if I knew. Does the Crown prince even look like he lost influence?”
“Forget kneeling. I’m afraid he would come looking for trouble later.”
Xu Che couldn’t help smirking at the trio.
These characters would bully those who yield to them and fear anyone being heavy-handed against them. They didn’t deserve sympathy even if their feet rot off from kneeling.
Still, two hours soon passed. When Sheng Xiao and Secretary He were about to leave their private cubicle, the three rich kids felt as if their knees were no longer their own.
The door opened, with Sheng Xiao and Secretary He standing outside the door.
“If you would try to bully me again when we cross paths in public…”
The trio promptly shook their heads. “We won’t do it anymore.”
“What do you mean? Didn’t you tell me that you won’t let my family have peace?” Sheng Xiao smiled while straightening his sleeves. “Remember to tell everyone you beat me to a pulp and humiliated me utterly.”
“Are… are you for real, Crown Prince?”
“And remember that only you three know that I was meeting Secretary He. If a fourth person knows, however…”
“We got it. We know what to do.”
“Brother, should I help warn their parents?” Secretary He couldn’t help threatening the trio either.
“There’s no need. I trust they know how to be good.” With that, Sheng Xiao gestured to Xu Che that the trio didn’t need restraining anymore.
Xu Che freed them and left the private cubicle, following Sheng Xiao to escort Secretary He away.
Meanwhile, the trio in the cubicle were frightened even as they thought about it now.
“It’s lucky we didn’t make a huge mess of things. The Crown Prince is still the Crown Prince—does he even look powerless now?” If he can be as close as siblings with Secretary He, he is not someone mere businessmen would compare to.”
“But he really did leave Sheng family, didn’t he?”
“Kids like us would never know what people like them are thinking. And what did Crown Prince tell us? He wants us to tell everyone we meet that we humiliated him, didn’t he?”
The trio looked at each other before nodding in unison.
“He probably wants to cover that up…”
“If that’s so… let’s go make some noise then.”
The trio hence got up fearfully and helped each other out of the hotel, having been KO’ed by Sheng Xiao despite their intention to teach him a lesson.
After seeing off Secretary He, Xu Che asked Sheng Xiao when he saw the trio leaving the hotel, “Should I go again…”
“No need. We should keep a low-profile whenever we could.” Sheng Xiao said, gesturing for Xu Che to drive. “Let’s go home.”
Xu Che watched as the trio disappeared from view before walking around the car to the driver’s seat.
Sheng Xiao just might have an easier time with the trio helping to make some noise and throw off Old Sheng.
And just as expected…
By the next morning, news of Sheng Xiao being humiliated by the three rich kids spread throughout Jianchuan.
It was claimed that he had been forced to down beers and apologize, although the trio naturally had no gall to claim that Sheng Xiao was forced to kneel or crawl beneath their crotch.
With that, everyone in Jianchuan truly felt that Sheng Xiao was not a member of the Sheng family any longer. Indeed, anyone could walk all over him now.
Mu Qiqi read through the news and turned doubtfully to the man himself who was having breakfast. “Were you being bullied last night?”
“You believe that?” Sheng Xiao asked without looking up.
Mu Qiqi shook her head. “These rumors… wouldn’t have spread without your consent.”
“It makes my work convenient.”
Mu Qiqi nodded at that. “I knew it. Who could even touch a strand of your hair after all? Xu Che would have crippled them before that!”
“Are you having faith in your husband or Xu Che here?”
Mu Qiqi gave Sheng Xiao a look. Was he being jealous of Xu Che too?
“I have faith in Xu Che’s moves…”
“It seems that I have to work harder to prove myself.” Sheng Xiao replied, leaving Mu Qiqi’s heart beating quickly and flushing.
She was left tongue tied.
“By the way, have you told Jing Yun about Zhongteng?”
