I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot-Chapter 18

From an Ordinary Traffic Incident to Murder

When Shen Hanyu returned, he saw Sang Qianqian sleeping on the bench. Her phone screen was still lit up, and a video was playing on its own. Looking closer, it was a clip of his speech at the press conference.

She was probably exhausted. Her face was a little pale, and her long hair was scattered down her shoulders, covering half of her face.

When she was awake, her face was too beautiful and bright, but she was unusually quiet and obedient when she was asleep.

Shen Hanyu stared at Sang Qianqian quietly.

When he went to the Longxing building to attend the press conference, he thought she’d already returned home. He didn’t expect that she was still waiting outside the Intensive Care Unit.

Outside the window, people moved around, busy dealing with their matters.

The bright afternoon sun shone through the window and fell on Sang Qianqian’s face. The girl’s long eyelashes trembled slightly, subconsciously tilting her head.

Shen Hanyu walked to her side. His tall and slender figure blocked the piercing light.

“Brother Hanyu.”

Shen Hanyu turned around to find Xia Sitong with a lunchbox in her hand.

Xia Sitong had gone to arrange Xia Zhixin’s funeral with her aunt this morning and had only arrived at the hospital now.

Looking at Sang Qianqian, who was sound asleep, Xia Sitong’s expression froze. “What’s she doing here?”

Shen Hanyu didn’t try to hide it. “She helped with the PowerPoint for the press conference last night.”

The press conference was a huge success; Xia Sitong had seen it on her phone. To think that Sang Qianqian would be the one to complete the PowerPoint.

Xia Sitong’s gaze was complicated. So Sang Qianqian had been with Brother Hanyu the entire night?

Sang Qianqian was a light sleeper, and she woke up in a daze when she heard the sound of talking.

Rubbing her eyes, she said, “Sitong, you’re here.”

Xia Sitong pursed her lips. “Sorry, I didn’t know you were here. I only bought food for Brother Hanyu.”

Sang Qianqian hurriedly replied, “It’s alright. I should head back too.”

“I’ll see you out,” Shen Hanyu said as he stood up.

“No need, no need. Hurry up and eat.” Sang Qianqian grabbed her bag and quickly left.

Back home, Sang Qianqian intended to call her brother to ask about the Administrative Committee of the Longxing building.

After some thought, she decided to wait for him to return home and ask him in person.

She didn’t sleep well last night and couldn’t stand it anymore, so she fell asleep on the sofa.

It wasn’t until the sound of a car engine in the courtyard woke her up. When she rushed out, she found it was her father’s car.

Sang Pengcheng had just returned home from the airport after going on a business trip to another province for a medical project.

The butler, Mr. Zhong, was taking the luggage from the trunk. However, Sang Pengcheng had no intention of getting out of the car.

Sang Qianqian chased after him. “Dad, where do you plan to go?”

“Let’s go to the hospital and see your Uncle Shen.” Sang Pengcheng already knew about Shen Shaofeng and Xia Zhixin’s accident.

Sang Qianqian quickly opened the car door. “I’ll go with you.”

Sang Pengcheng nodded.

He still didn’t know that Sang Qianqian had almost fainted from the stomachache last night. Additionally, she even stayed overnight at the hospital. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

“Dad, did you see the press conference held by the Shen family?” Sang Qianqian asked.

“I did. Although Shen Shaofeng was in trouble, he has a good son. Given time, Shen Hanyu’s future is limitless.”

Sang Pengcheng sighed with emotion. “From the concept of the PowerPoint presentation to Shen Hanyu’s performance, everything was perfect.”

When Sang Qianqian heard her father praise her PowerPoint presentation, she was a little happy.

She hesitated for a moment. “Their press conference was held in the Longxing building. Do you and Brother perhaps know the person in charge of this building?”

“Of course I do.”

Sang Pengcheng said, “The Longxing building belongs to Longxing Real Estate. Their former boss is a friend of mine, but he isn’t in good health. So he has handed matters over to his son, Long Junzhe.”

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something. “Your Brother and Long Junzhe have a good relationship. In fact, Long Junzhe came to your 18th birthday party this year. Have you forgotten?”

Sang Qianqian was stunned and couldn’t say a word for a long time.

Just as she was feeling uneasy, Sang Pengcheng’s phone suddenly rang. It was his secretary, Ju Wei.

It was unclear what Ju Wei had said, but Sang Pengcheng’s expression changed.

“What’s wrong, Dad?” Sang Qianqian also started to get nervous. She’d never seen her father like this before.

“Shen Shaofeng is awake. He submitted a video to the police and sent it to the media.” Sang Pengcheng said in a deep voice.

The video was recorded by Shen Shaofeng when Xia Zhixin was on the verge of death. He said something was wrong with the car’s brakes, and someone had probably tampered with them.

In the video, Xia Zhixin pointed out that Sang Minglang was the biggest suspect in the car accident.

“I’ve never offended anyone, and I’ve only had a conflict with Sang Minglang. Sang Minglang has always wanted our patented technology. He’s the only one with the motive to kill Shaofeng and I!”

In the video, blood covered Xia Zhixin’s face, and his voice was trembling. Blood came out of his mouth and nose with every word he said. However, he insisted on saying what he wanted before closing his eyes.

The police had initially concluded that the car accident was a traffic accident. Xia Zhixin sped across the bridge. To avoid the car coming from behind, he turned the steering wheel hard, causing him to fall off the bridge.

However, with this video, the case immediately escalated from an ordinary traffic accident to murder.

Shen Shaofeng might’ve been worried that the Sang family would put pressure on the police, so he exposed the video to the media in advance.

This video was Xia Zhixin’s last words. The injured person personally testified before his death. Once the media announced it, it caused a massive uproar on the internet and public opinion boiled.

All the blame was on the Sang family. In less than 40 minutes, the Sang family’s stock prices plummeted, and their market value evaporated by nearly 10 billion.
