CHAPTER 314: CHAPTER 314: TURNING THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN

Watching the First Master fall back into a deep sleep, the Second Master slowed his breathing and footsteps, and slowly retreated.

"Keep a good watch on this ward. Don’t let anyone in except for doctors and nurses. Keep your eyes sharp. If any rat accidentally sneaks in, I’ll throw you to the rats to feed them. Understood?" The Second Master put on his sunglasses again, hiding whatever was in his eyes, but his tone was icy and terrifying.

"Yes!" The two people at the door shivered on hearing the Second Master’s words and immediately responded, as if they had seen something terrifying.

The Second Master glanced at the two again before getting up and leaving.

Inside the ward, the First Master didn’t sleep peacefully. In a daze, he seemed to return to his youth, standing next to a woman with braided hair. Due to the angle, he couldn’t see the woman’s face, but strangely, he knew she was giving him a shy smile in his dream.

He desperately wanted to see her face clearly, but the woman in the dream drifted further and further away. Outside of the dream, his brows furrowed tighter, and his mouth opened and closed without a sound.

In a room two floors above him, Sister Zhou, who was watching her daughter’s sleeping face, suddenly felt a flutter in her heart. It seemed like something important was nearby. This sudden flutter made her hand, which was peeling an apple, tremble slightly, and the white blade slipped into her skin, drawing out red droplets of blood.

Just as she put on a band-aid, the feeling that had just emerged vanished like fireworks.

Sister Zhou had a bitter smile on her face as she looked at the wound on her hand with an inexplicable expression.

Elsewhere in Huaxia, the Sheng couple sat in the living room, looking somber on the couch. The warm orange sunlight outside refracted through the window, casting a bright glow in the room, but it didn’t add a trace of warmth to the atmosphere inside.

"Why did you attack Xiaorou? I know you’re not doing well with losing our son, but now we only have this one child left. Our Sheng Family cannot have no heirs. If you can’t get over it, we can have a test tube baby. Once we have the new child, I won’t interfere with whatever you do." Sheng Hong furrowed his brows, yielding.

"Heh, our Xiaoyi just died, and you say something like that. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? Why did I attack her? Xiaoyi’s gone, and she tried everything to stop you from pursuing Xiaoyi’s matter, not letting you avenge him. Just for that reason alone, I could kill her a thousand times over. I’ll tell you, Sheng Hong, even if Xiaoyi’s gone, I will never let that sluttish pair have the Sheng Family. It can only belong to my child." Mrs. Sheng’s eyes were red, almost crazed, as she looked at Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong’s brow tightened further, showing dissatisfaction towards Mrs. Sheng, but he didn’t refute her and instead changed the subject, saying, "Don’t worry. This family is definitely for our child. I’m just keeping Xiaorou to shut others up. Once our child is born, do whatever you want with her and her mother, I won’t stop you."

Mrs. Sheng’s lips curled into a cold smile, "You better remember what you just said."

"I won’t forget. Regarding Xiaoyi’s matter, I haven’t done nothing. He was my son, after all, how could I not investigate?" Sheng Hong looked at Mrs. Sheng with disapproval.

"Oh? And what did you find?" Mrs. Sheng’s gaze was mocking. How could a person flirt with a mistress as if nothing had happened after their own son died? A person who calmly spoke of letting their illegitimate daughter die in front of the original spouse, how could she not ridicule him?

How blind was she back then to have married a man so cold-blooded, selfish, and heartless? Mrs. Sheng looked at her husband, and couldn’t help but ask herself.

"This matter is heavily tied with that kid Sheng Wenhao, it’s very likely he did it. After all, only that little bastard from the Wen Family would get involved with drugs." Regarding Sheng Wenhao and drugs, Sheng Hong showed a look of disgust.

"I should never have spared his life at the time, thinking he was from the Wen Family. Now he’s grown wings and not only doesn’t appreciate us sparing him, he even repaid our kindness with enmity, getting Xiaoyi killed. He really should be struck by lightning for being such a bastard, just disappear early like his parents." Finishing these words, the man’s emotion finally changed, growing agitated.

At this moment, Mrs. Sheng looked on silently at the various expressions on Sheng Hong’s face like an outsider. Her demeanor made the situation appear absurd and bizarre.

After speaking so much without a single response, Sheng Hong finally closed his mouth. However, at this point, his expression towards Mrs. Sheng wasn’t good, carrying a hint of disdain and disgust, for disliking her for not aligning with his views, and for her lack of understanding or gentle demeanor.

"I initially suggested getting rid of that abomination. You said he was your older brother’s only bloodline, not letting me take action, claiming that abomination couldn’t escape your grasp, yet..." Sheng Hong’s face grew three shades darker. Mrs. Sheng’s mocking smile deepened, "Enough, what’s happened has happened, there’s no point in talking about it now. Sheng Hong, I have just one thing, since this disaster was sown by you, you fix it. No matter where that abomination is, I want him dead, the more miserable, the better." Her voice turned slightly hoarse, like a venomous snake lurking in the dark, sending shivers down one’s spine.

"Don’t worry. Even without you saying it, I won’t let that little bastard off. Letting him live carelessly for so many years is just too easy on him." Sheng Hong didn’t mind Mrs. Sheng’s state, at this moment his eyes darkened, his whole aura as oppressive as Mrs. Sheng’s. This couple was like venomous snakes of the world, entwined with poison.

Meanwhile, the three who were still traveling abroad had no idea what was happening back in their home country.

Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao met Sheng Wenhao at noon the next day, accompanied by the woman they had a conflict with the day before.

The woman’s demeanor shifted from her previous brash assertiveness to a meek demeanor, her eyes seemingly glowing when looking at Sheng Wenhao.

"What are you two?" Lin Mengyao raised an eyebrow, her gaze wandering over the two, with a teasing glint in her eyes.

Sheng Wenhao shrugged, neither denying nor confirming, appearing as if his silence spoke volumes. This made the woman next to him blush instantly. She extended her hand proactively towards Lin Mengyao and said, "Hi, I’m Ely. I admit I was a bit much yesterday, I hope you won’t hold it against me. After Wenhao spoke to me later, I realized my mistakes, and I hope you’ll accept my apology," the woman who called herself Ely said, tilting her head.
