Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again
Chapter 360 Awakening

Chapter 360: Chapter 360 Awakening

Shengshi Group had actually been acquired by a foreign company, something Xiahou Jingmu had never anticipated.

Why had it been acquired?

As the top domestic company in its prime, how could it possibly be acquired? It wasn’t as if it couldn’t operate anymore. Besides, its current person in charge was insane and had never returned to the company; how had it been sold?

It surely couldn’t have been that old man from the Sheng Family, could it?

The very next morning, Xiahou Jingmu, not caring that his wounds had not yet healed, had his subordinates wheel him to the mental health facility.

"Major, you’ve arrived."

Seeing him, the head of the mental health facility personally came out to greet him.

Xiahou Jingmu’s expression was dark, "How is Sheng Shiyuan? What is his condition now?"

"Per your instructions, he has been kept in the ward, but..."

The head hesitated, suddenly adopting a look as if there was more he wanted to say but couldn’t.

Seeing this, Xiahou Jingmu’s assistant immediately scolded him, "But what? If you have something to say, then say it quickly!"

Only then did the head speak, "We can’t administer any medication to him. Just yesterday when he was brought in, a lawyer named Lan Ling came over. She warned us that if we medicated this man before the results of his psychiatric assessment came out, she would send all of us to jail and sue our hospital!"

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he spoke.

The assistant, upon hearing this, blurted out without thinking, "Are you out of your mind? In this place, which lawyer would dare cause trouble for you? This is an order from the Major himself!"

"Ah?" The man immediately showed a very troubled look.

"But she said, she isn’t just any local lawyer, she’s from the International Lawyers Association, and moreover, she has never lost a case!"

"..."

What else could the assistant say?

But at that moment, Xiahou Jingmu had already waved his hand, cutting him off.

He, of course, knew exactly who this Lan Ling was.

Xiahou Jingmu went to the inpatient department. As he was wheeled in, he felt a peculiar oppression and gloom seeing the iron bars installed on each of the ward’s windows.

The very room he was looking for was located at the very back, with not one but two layers of bars added.

"Major, he’s inside there," said the head, having arrived at the destination and opening the first layer of the iron door.

Xiahou Jingmu was pushed slowly inside.

About Sheng Siyuan, Xiahou Jingmu had never actually directly interacted with him, but he had known about him for a long time, especially upon learning that Xiahou Maolin had taken a risky move to try to kill him in Chongzhou.

He had then thoroughly looked up Siyuan’s information.

An impressive figure.

He had a congenital heart disease and spent his childhood brought up by the Wang Family in the capital. During those years in the capital, there was basically no hope for him with the Sheng Family.

But later, after the cure following his heart transplant, he managed to take full control of Shengshi Group in just two short years.

He had quashed all those from the Sheng Family who opposed him.

At the board meetings, faced with many who didn’t submit to him, he employed decisive, swift measures to suppress them all, ensuring that thereafter, not a single complaint was raised against him.

Thus, after studying his information, Xiahou Jingmu was almost certain that Xiahou Maolin was bound to lose.

Sure enough, he received news that Xiahou Maolin had met his downfall in Chongzhou, and his sickly son had also died there.

He was delighted!

But amidst his delight, he felt a tinge of worry.

Because the failure of that father and son meant the success of that man. If Xiahou Yi acknowledged him and took him back, he would undoubtedly never have a chance with the Xiahou Family again.

He waited all day long.

In the evening, just when he thought everything was set in stone, he suddenly received some rather favorable news.

Xiahou Yi called him, saying that Sheng Siyuan was critically injured, and told him to send a private jet to pick him up immediately.

He struggled for a long time, but in the end, he delayed for 10 minutes.

And so, in those 10 minutes, Sheng Siyuan’s brain suffered severe damage. Although he woke up, he had become an idiot.

Xiahou Jingmu initially felt guilty and was often plagued with fear, worried that he might be discovered. After Sheng Siyuan finally woke up, he truly wanted to make it up to him and treat him well.

However, everything changed after his sister, Xiahou Jingxiao, died.

His sister, whom he had doted on for so many years, was gone, and the elder he respected the most only commented that his lake was dirtied!

His respect for this person crumbled.

His faith was also gone.

Especially after his father, Xiahou Maoqing, told him that the reason Xiahou Yi had been grooming him all these years was just to pave the way for his own son.

He became even more desperate.

So, the events of today had nothing to do with the ambition of Xiahou Jingmu; he was compelled to act the way he did.

Xiahou Jingmu finally saw the man in the hospital room.

As he expected, he was very calm. When he entered, the man lay quietly on the bed, flipping through an outdated newspaper as if nothing had happened at all.

Would a person with a damaged mind be this calm in such a situation?

"Sheng Siyuan, there’s no need for pretense now that it has come to this. I know you’re already better!"

He looked at him for a long while before speaking out directly.

Yet, as his words fell, the man looking at the newspaper still didn’t pay attention to him, as if he hadn’t heard him at all.

Seeing this, Xiahou Jingmu finally lost his patience.

"When did you sell Shengshi Group? Was it during your recent visit back home?"

He asked bluntly about the matter.

"Let me remind you, for a multinational corporation like this, if you let a foreign financial company acquire it privately, you will be committing a crime due to the related debt, equity, and domestic assets linked to official interests!"

He actually understood some economic laws.

Sheng Siyuan finally put aside the newspaper in his hand, glanced at the man, and got up to sit on the bed.

"You seem to have not realized why you still can’t get your hands on Shengshi Group. A big part of the reason is not that you, Xiahou Jingmu, are incompetent, but that no one can control Sheng Siyuan."

He spoke up.

Indeed, his voice, tinged with a chilling coldness, was no longer filled with the previous frivolousness but with a piercing sharpness.

Xiahou Jingmu’s face immediately changed.

Looking at the defiant man, whose eyes held supreme confidence and coldness, he, who had come prepared, suddenly found his confidence waning again!
