Chapter 203: Key Witness Emerges

Chapter 203

When Granny Song came out of the study, she waited outside with some worry. Probably because she had heard their loud argument, she asked with knitted brows showing concern: “Why did you argue with your grandfather? Did the old man make things difficult for you again?”

Zhong Ruanxing smiled and shook her head: “No, Granny. The company still has things to do, so I’m leaving first.”

Granny Song's eyes revealed some sadness, but she didn't say much: “Go ahead, pay more attention to your health, and eat on time.”

Zhong Ruanxing nodded and bid farewell to Granny Song before leaving. Not until her grandson's figure disappeared at the door, did Granny Song take a deep breath, then went in with a stern face and pushed open the door of the study. She had originally wanted to vent her belly of anger at the old man and question him about how he bullied her grandson, but when she saw him in that state, the old lady couldn't care less.

"Old man?! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Ah Jing! Ah Jing! Call the doctor quickly!"

...

Although Zou Wang conducted the investigation very covertly, just as Song JinXing said, when real clues emerged, it was easy to expose the whereabouts. Since the old man knew today, the murderer may have known too.

Zhong Ruanxing immediately arranged four bodyguards for herself. Every time she went in and out, even when going to the toilet, the bodyguards stood guard outside. For a while, Song Group employees speculated that Miss Song must have provoked some big trouble recently, to be so cautious.

Since the last confrontation with the old man at the old house, the old man hadn't called her again.

Zhong Ruanxing wasn’t sure if he had evidence in hand. She had said those words just to provoke him at that time. It would be perfect if the old man handed over the evidence in irritation. But after all, he was the founder of Song Group, he could still keep his cool at that point. But judging by his reaction at that time, Zhong Ruanxing knew she had guessed right, he did have evidence in hand.

Should she sneak into the old house one day to rummage through it? She remembered the old man had a safe in his study.

The darkened Xingxing thought so.

Zhong's father and Zhong Lowu were also holding streamer tubes, still frantically spewing out streamers.

There was also a cake on the coffee table to celebrate the wrap and welcome him home, which Zhong Ruanxing and her dad made together.

Zhong's dad had even specially ordered top-grade crabs from the procurement department of the hotel he worked at, and cooked several crab feasts in different cuisines. After Song JinXing took a simple shower and changed his clothes, the family sat around happily, eating cake and peeling crabs.

The house was noisy and lively. The previously bleak Four Seasons Cloud Top was now redecorated with traces of home. Such a simple, ordinary and warm life was the most precious treasure he wanted in his life, and he would also spend his whole life protecting this treasure.

After Song JinXing returned, Zhong Ruanxing’s domineering CEO life suddenly became much more relaxing. With the real domineering CEO taking over work, she could finally slack off!

When Granny Song learned that her grandson’s daughter-in-law had returned to Beijing after wrapping up filming, she called to discuss meeting between the two families. But it was pushed away by them both for being too busy with work. Song JinXing did take time to see Granny Song, but Song Grandpa didn't show up.

Granny Song didn't know what had happened between her husband and grandson, but she also keenly sensed something was wrong. While her daughter-in-law was having tea downstairs, she went upstairs to call the old man, wanting him to reconcile with their grandson through the daughter-in-law. She didn't expect the old man to hide even further away, unwilling to even open the door.

Granny Song felt a little uneasy, and had an ominous feeling that something big was about to happen in this family that had been calm for over twenty years.

When the leaves on the street turned yellow in the autumn wind, Zhong Ruanxing finally received news from Zou Wang, who had disappeared for months.

"I found the key witness from back then. He said he has a photocopy of the autopsy report. But he's only willing to hand it over after meeting you."

Zhong Ruanxing turned on the speakerphone and looked at Song JinXing across from her. The two looked at each other solemnly, some emotion flashing across. After a long pause, Song JinXing nodded lightly.

Zhong Ruanxing spoke calmly: “Please help me arrange a time and place with him.”
