Read Novel I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 510

“The surveillance cameras must have been tampered with. Whoever this person is, they must be skilled. After all, they were able to damage the surveillance footage in such a short period of time without anyone noticing. They must have come prepared. Get the recordings back as soon as possible, Shaoqing!” Fu Chengyan ordered. His eyebrows were knitted into a tight knot.

“Of course, I will. For the time being, you need to be careful. My brother told me that things have been rocky in Sheen City and the capital. It’s very likely that the stock market will fluctuate greatly,” Su Shaoqing warned.

“Got it,” Fu Chengyan affirmed with a glint in his eye. “Be honest. You didn’t provoke anyone, did you?” Su Shaoqing asked. Fu Chengyan swept his gaze over him icily. “If I really have provoked someone, you might not be able to get away, either.” Su Shaoqing raised his eyebrows in response. “Don’t scare me like that! I’m not the type to feel threatened easily.”

After that, Fu Chengyan simply remained silent. Su Shaoqing had figured out that things were likely more complicated than they seemed. “All right. I’ll get someone to recover the surveillance footage.”

“We need to be fast. I’ll give you two days,” Fu Chengyan stated. He buttoned up his cufflinks, then paused for a moment as if a thought had crossed his mind.

Then, he looked up at Su Shaoqing, who was beginning to get anxious under his stare.

“Why are you staring at me like that?”

He continued gazing with his slender fingers hovering over his cufflinks. After a moment, he shook his head and questioned, “Are all of the hospital’s surveillance cameras not working?”

“Of course, that’s not the case,” Su Shaoqing answered immediately. Then, he jolted in realization. “Wait. Could they perhaps miscalculate and miss tackling those cameras?

Wow. Why didn’t I think of that? Back when we were installing the surveillance cameras, I took extra precautions and installed a few more in discreet locations. I don’t think anyone else knows about them. Let me go and check those.”

Meanwhile, in the lounge, Shi Nuan was standing in the doorway as she listened to their conversation. Her heart sank further and further.

Shi Yunsheng’s funeral was scheduled to be held three days after his passing. Shi Jingzheng and Jiang Yu had taken his body to be cremated, and Jiang Yu was the one who paid for all of it. Even if Shi Nuan and Uncle Yang wanted to help, they were not in the position to do so.

It was drizzling on the day of the funeral. Fu Chengyan helped Shi Nuan out of the car, and Zhou Zheng immediately rushed over with an umbrella to shield her from the rain.

Shi Yunsheng’s grave was located in Peace Ridge Park. It was quite a long walk from the car to the grave. Fu Chengyan held Shi Nuan’s hand as they walked over. However, they were stopped by someone. “Old Mr. Shi’s funeral is being held today. Outsiders are not allowed to enter.”

The person who had stopped them was none other than a member of the Shi family. She was quite close to Jiang Yu, and Shi Nuan recalled that the woman seemed to be her aunt.

She protested, “I only came to see Grandfather. I-”

“Grandfather, you say? Don’t get ahead of yourself, Ms. Su. Everyone knows that you’re no longer a member of the Shi family. We have nothing to do with you,” the woman declared.

“I…” Shi Nuan mumbled.

Fu Chengyan, however, grabbed her hand and subtly shook his head. “Let’s go, May.” “But I want to see Grandfather!” she insisted.

“No, May.” He shook his head once again and led her to the car. “I know how much you want to see Grandfather, but they’re right. You’re not a member of the Shi family anymore. They have the right to bar you from entering.”

“But…” “Let’s wait for a bit. When they’re gone, I’ll go see Grandfather together with you, okay?” Fu Chengyan coaxed. He got Zhou Zheng to fetch a jacket for him and used it to cover

Shi Nuan. “Even though we might be a bit late, Grandfather wouldn’t blame you for it.”

“Okay.” Shi Nuan nodded. She lowered her head and leaned onto the cushion.

She had lost sleep over the past few days because of what had happened to Shi Yunsheng.

All the while, she had convinced herself that Shi Yunsheng was just asleep and that he would wake up at some point. However, every time she woke up and saw the empty room around her, she could feel the void in her heart.

All of a sudden, they heard a sound from outside. Fu Chengyan rolled down the window only to see Uncle Yang standing there with an umbrella in hand. “Are you free tomorrow, Ms. Nuan?”

Shi Nuan looked at him in surprise. “I am. What is it? Thank you for coming, Mr. Yang.” “No problem. There’ll be a lawyer coming to the Shi residence tomorrow to announce Old Master Shi’s will,” Uncle Yang explained.

She was stunned to hear that. “When did he even write one? Why wasn’t I aware?” “He’s had it ready for a long time. Your name is also mentioned in his will, Ms. Nuan. That’s why you should come to the Shi residence tomorrow,” Uncle Yang replied as the rain grew heavier.

Shi Nuan stared at him through the rain and realized how much older he had gotten.

Uncle Yang couldn’t help but sigh. “I’ve been with the Shi family for so long. I thought I would pass before Old Master Shi did, but…”

“Don’t say that, Mr. Yang!” Shi Nuan protested.

“After announcing Old Master Shi’s will, I’ll be retiring to the countryside. Please take good care of yourself, Ms. Nuan,” he stated.

“Y-You’re leaving?” She stared at him blankly.
