Chapter 376 : Green Plum Meets Wine 27 (1/2)

Shi Sheng could hear Sheng Shi Group mentioned, so she replayed it several times and finally put together what was being said.

“We have people high up covering for this. Since Sheng Shi Group won’t listen, they deserved their fate! That land is public since they haven’t signed the contract yet, what more since the higher-ups already know of it. We’re already involved in this; do you guys really think you can back out now?”

The footage was too blurry to make out any of their faces, but the background looked a bit familiar.

“Where’d you get this?” Shi Sheng asked Yu Jiu.

“Nicked it from Yin Mo.” Yu Jiu answered truthfully.

‘Yin Mo…’ Shi Sheng made a copy of the video.

“Can I take a look at the documents?” Shi Sheng pointed at the other files in the folder.

“Of course. What’s mine is yours.”

There were a lot more documents than videos. Shi Sheng opened them up one by one. Most of them were accounts involving large sums, some even having remarks at the end.

There were also documents with just words, though they were mostly just some important contracts that had nothing to do with Sheng Shi Group.

Only when she got to the last two did she see Sheng Shi Group mentioned.

The first was a contract for purchase of land. The buyer was Sheng Shi Group and they had already signed and stamped.

But the seller hadn’t signed, nor was there any information on them.

Not even the location of the land was included, merely using “JY” to substitute for the name.

The second one was a name list. Most of them were surnamed Sheng and had a red cross next to them.

There were quite a few names here, probably in the range of 40 to 50. The names of Sheng Xia’s parents were included. Shi Sheng saw that behind Sheng Xia’s name was a question mark.

The only other name with a question mark beside it was Sheng Yang.

Sheng Xia didn’t remember this name, but it had appeared in the original storyline.

Sheng Yang had returned from overseas and he was the deceitful type who always opposed the female lead, as if he had some great enmity with her. In the end, he was naturally killed off like cannon-fodder.

“Damn you’re playing a big game ah!” ‘No matter how you look at it, there’s a grand scheme playing out in the storyline!

It was definitely that idiot system that added this! Go fuck a dog!’

Shi Sheng chased Yu Jiu away and got him to handle his own affairs while she investigated all the names on the list.

All of these people had died in an accident. After the death of Sheng Xia’s parents, everyone besides Sheng Yang and Sheng Xia were dead.

‘Just what was worth the effort of killing so many people?’

Shi Sheng carefully re-read the contract again. Since it involved a sum above a hundred million, it was quite the large contract, so Sheng Shi Group should’ve kept records. Of course, there was also the possibility the records had been wiped.

So, the easiest method was to ask Gu Yan and Yu Xingyun.

But Shi Sheng felt like they weren’t in the know. This name list made it quite clear that someone was very unhappy with the Sheng Family, yet she’d lived a safe and peaceful life all these years. Someone should have secretly helped to wipe all the information on her.

Yet Gu Yan and Yu Xingyun supported her decision to return to Sheng Shi Group. Once that happened, the mastermind who had killed off the Sheng Family was sure to know about it.

Did Gu Yan and Yu Xingyun have ulterior motives? That wasn’t right.

Shi Sheng grabbed the name list and left the house, heading straight to Gu Yan’s company. When she got there, he was still in a meeting.

Shi Sheng waited outside for him and, when the meeting ended, pulled him into the office.

“Xiaoxia? What is it?” Gu Yan was utterly confused.

“Uncle Gu, tell me honestly: what are you and Uncle Yu planning?”
