Chapter 318

Edited

Liu Cang snorted and then said: “I personally went to the village where I sold Sheng Luo and heard the nearby villagers say that she is dead.”

“There had been a landslide there. Not only she, but also the family who bought her died!”

Sheng Lian listened in silence. He really didn’t expect that something like this would happen to Sheng Luo.

His original intention was to send Sheng Luo far away so that she would have no chance of ever contacting the Sheng family. This way she would never threaten their interests.

However, he never thought that Sheng Luo would die so early.

But Sheng Lian had to admit that he was relieved to know that Sheng Luo was dead.

Sheng Luo’s death meant that no one would come back to compete with Sheng Man. Sheng Man would forever be the sole daughter of the Sheng family.

Liu Cang noticed Sheng Lian heaving a sigh of relief and said contemptuously: “Looks like you are very satisfied.”

Sheng Lian ignored Liu Cang’s ridicule. He got in the car, thinking about what Liu Cang had said along the way.

When he got home, Sheng Lian suddenly thought of something and walked into the study. He turned on the computer, entered a few keywords, and stared at the computer screen.

After going through a number of different news articles, Sheng Lian shut off the computer with a frown. According to Liu Cang, there was a landslide that year.

Liu Cang didn’t lie to him.

But for some reason, Sheng Lian was feeling uneasy in his heart.

Sheng Lian thought for a while. Even if there was an accident that year, was the person who died really Sheng Luo? If Sheng Luo was dead, what about the evidence?

He still couldn’t fully believe it just based on the words of several villagers. Sheng Luo’s existence would directly affect his future life so he could not afford to make any mistake regarding this matter.

Sheng Lian dialed Liu Cang’s number and said, “I am still not satisfied with the evidence you gave me. I want you to find more information about the girl.”

Liu Cang’s voice came from the other side: “I can provide you with more information but you must give me another sum of money.”

Liu Cang sneered: “I will have to travel around and provide you with such useful information. How can your last payment be enough?”

“You can always look for someone else to do your dirty job.” Liu Cang threatened to hang up the phone.

Sheng Lian immediately said: “Wait!”

Sheng Lian said in a voice gloomier than the night itself: “Okay, I’ll give you more money but you need to investigate more carefully this time. Even if the Sheng family’s daughter is dead, I want to know everything about her.”

After ending the call with Liu Cang, Sheng Lian began to think about whether he should tell Sheng Man about Sheng Luo.

Even after Sheng Luo’s disappearance, neither he nor Sheng Bang had seen Nie Jiqing more than a few times. However, as the Sheng family’s adopted daughter, Sheng Man had the most frequent contact with the Sheng family.

Looking at the current situation, Sheng Lian felt that he must tell Sheng Man about the truth and give her some advice.

In the future, Sheng Man must not let her emotions rule over her. She must learn to change her attitude.

At this moment, Sheng Man was in her dressing room and the makeup artist was applying makeup for her. Sheng Man seemed to be resting with her eyes closed.
