Chapter 83 - Chapter 83: Legs Are Finally Broken (2/2)

Getting my dander up over a woman?Cheng Lang’s mood had indeed fluctuated last night, but it had not reached the level of anger. Cheng Lang was about to answer when a servant informed that Nie Heng had arrived.

Xing Shu instantly realized why Nie Heng had come. She stood up with her walking stick and supported herself against the wall as she walked out. Cheng Lang’s expression darkened when he saw that she would rather support herself against the wall than on him. He strode out of the room and left Xing Shu behind.

Xing Shu did not notice Cheng Lang’s changes in mood. When she finally reached downstairs, Nie Heng was already drinking coffee. Seeing her like this, Nie Heng raised his eyebrows and chuckled. “Little Canary’s legs are finally broken?”

Xing Shu slowly sat down at the side. “Are you here for the Liu family?”

Nie Heng said, “That’s right. The Liu family’s Liu Chun did this. She is on good terms with Liu Xiangru. Xiangru called me and asked me to talk to Cheng Lang and you.”

Xing Shu lowered her head and looked at her toes. “But I heard that the Liu family is not the only one involved in this matter. The Feng family is also involved.” Last night, the police had made it very clear that the Feng family was also involved in this matter, but she had never offended the Liu and Feng families.

Nie Heng suddenly laughed. He glanced at Cheng Lang. who was quietly drinking coffee beside him. It seemed that Cheng Lang was letting Xing Shu take the lead in this matter.

Nie Heng said, “How would I know? In any case, I’m doing this for Liu Xiangru.” Xing Shu’s heart ached—not for herself, but for Nie Xi—when she heard his confident tone and how protective he was of Liu Xiangru.

“I’m very curious about what Ms. Liu Xiangru told you. This matter involves Cheng Corporation Group’s trade secrets. If I do not pursue the matter, I’ll have to bear all the responsibility. Hasn’t Ms. Liu thought about what would happen to me—the victim?” Xing Shu’s tone was indifferent. Even though she was questioning, she did not have any aggressive emotions..
