Chapter 143

C143 – Suspicion

“Shang Xiaojie’s elder sister is really intimidating, like she’s ready to devour someone,” Huangfu Qiao remarked with a sigh. Having encountered Shang Minjie on several occasions, her ruthlessness had left a strong impression on him.

“Whoever went through a situation like this would probably react similarly to Shang Minjie. It’s understandable. I can only say that Mu Sifa didn’t handle it well.”

After voicing this, Huangfu Shao let out another sigh. In the end, the decision to marry Shang Minjie wasn’t Mu Sifa’s to make.

“This is really hard to fathom!”

Nong Mobai shrugged, unsure if he had seen through Huangfu Shao’s words.

“So what’s happening with Shang Xiaojie now? Did he collapse? It’s hard to believe a grown person would do that! Didn’t you go to check and monitor the situation?”

Nong Mobai lit a cigarette but quickly extinguished it, realizing they were in a hospital.

“Oh, damn it, I’ve fallen back into all my bad habits since that guy left.”

“Jia Tianxia just went to check the surveillance camera and returned, but he said it conveniently malfunctioned and didn’t record anything.”

“Ha! What a coincidence,” Nong Mobai sneered. “The surveillance system just happens to break down at this moment. It’s clear someone did it intentionally.”

“Aside from human interference, there’s no plausible explanation. Moreover, a few hours ago, Xiaojie was maliciously locked in the restroom. Considering this series of incidents, it appears someone has a strong intent to harm him,” Huangfu Shao concurred.

“Could it be Shang Minjie’s doing?” Nong Mobai suspected Shang Xiaojie’s elder sister.

“I can’t say for certain, but I can’t rule it out either. After all, the person who currently harbors the most resentment against Xiaojie is his elder sister.”

“What about Mu Sifa?” Nong Mobai inquired.

Nong Mobai leaned against the wall, lit up a cigarette, then scratched his head and gave up.

“They suspect Shang Minjie has a higher chance of being the culprit.”

“That makes sense! Let’s wait for Mu Sifa to handle it. I’m sure he won’t let it slide easily.”

“Right,” Huangfu Shao agreed without further comment.
