Chapter 482: Chapter 482: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
The bodyguards of Gu Shiting are all experts. Dealing with a few burly men wielding knives was a piece of cake.
In a matter of moments, they had subdued everyone without making much noise.
Song Chen also arrived.
Before the woman and the burly men came up, they had taped over the elevator’s cameras, so Song Chen took them down the elevator again.
Sheng Tang’s parents and younger brother missed the first part, only knowing that Song Chen had taken a bunch of people to escort the bandits away.
When Sheng Tang woke up Gu Shiting, he called the bodyguards and Song Chen, and also called Sheng Tang’s parents and brother, telling them not to open the door under any circumstances.
This is what he said: "There are a dozen bodyguards outside, don’t open the door and cause trouble."
Sheng Zong was a child; when told not to cause trouble, he definitely wouldn’t dare; Sheng Sidong and Fang Mengying were just ordinary people, unable to deal with bandits, so they did their best not to cause trouble.
The whole family couldn’t sleep and, by three in the morning, they were all sitting in the living room.
The house was brightly lit.
"Who are these people exactly?" Fang Mengying’s heart was still pounding.
A few days ago, two girls rented the room downstairs; one of them was the mastermind, gradually bringing in her muscle.
Sheng Tang had once encountered them in the elevator that day.
"Mom, don’t worry. They’re here to kidnap us, not to kill us," Sheng Tang said. "They wouldn’t dare have murderous intentions, for fear of alerting the police, so it’s definitely those people from the old house."
"Really?" Grandmother also spoke up. "But they had knives."
"They were already up here, why block the elevator cameras?" Sheng Tang said. "If it was them, they could’ve just taken the stairs.
What they wanted was to get us out of the elevator because the stairs are too long, and they feared we might call out or escape midway. Based on this, we can see their purpose."
Sheng Tang’s words made a lot of sense.
The family once again believed her.
Gu Shiting looked at her quietly, finding her calm and intelligent, unafraid in the face of any danger. Truly impressive.
In this world, there probably isn’t a better girl than her.
"She is mine." The thought warmed Gu Shiting’s heart and filled him with reassurance.
Sheng Tang glanced at her phone.
It was almost half-past three.
"Let’s try to sleep for a bit." She said. "We still have school tomorrow."
But no one could fall back to sleep.
Sheng Sidong shook his head, not intending to go back to his room.
He asked Gu Shiting, "Did Assistant Song take those people to the police station?"
Gu Shiting wasn’t sure if he should tell the truth.
He hesitated and then said gently, "Song Chen needs to ask some questions first, then decide whether to take them to the police."
Hearing this, Sheng Sidong didn’t frown but rather seemed relieved and said to Gu Shiting, "Then Assistant Song will surely find out who the mastermind is, right?"
He no longer had a saintly heart.
This incident had threatened his family, and he was finally angry.
Gu Shiting nodded, "He definitely will. Don’t worry, Song Chen is reliable."
Sheng Tang thought of the time when Chen Zhan framed her father, but they failed to find the mastermind, leaving her deeply regretful.
Hopefully, this time there would be results.
She didn’t want to let them off lightly.
Seven burly men with knives showed up at their door. How terrifying was that!
"Can we get results soon?" Fang Mengying also asked.
Gu Shiting said, "Song Chen will interrogate quickly."
"Then let’s all stay up. We can’t sleep anyway. Let’s wait and see," she said.
Everyone nodded.
Even Sheng Tang felt the same way.
At five in the morning, Song Chen called. He knew the young master would be awake, waiting for news.
"We’ve got the information, young master." Song Chen said.
