Chapter 244: A Dangerous Situation

.. As expected, he didn't believe her. It came from the bottom of his heart.When explaining it to others, it became a cover-up… Jian Tong said to herself: There’s no need to explain.She said to hersel...When the night is deep and all are still

There is a floor in Shen's Building that is brightly lit, which is the symbol of the Shen family's power.

In front of his desk, the man’s fingertips tapped incessantly on the keyboard. Each tap seemed like the sound of clashing steel and marching troops, just like the current situation.

The man's eyes were dark and heavy, like blades, sharp and piercing, locked onto the screen, every point a target.

Three years ago, he expelled Old Master Shen from the Shen family. Over the past three years, he has been busy expanding his influence, but this has given those with ulterior motives an opportunity to place their informants in different areas of the vast Shen family.

He went to Erhai Lake. Finally, the old man waited for the opportunity and launched a surprise attack both inside and out!

Okay!

Great!

Here, there's even Jian's touch! ~

The long fingers suddenly stopped, his eyes were deep and fathomless. Then, a smile slowly appeared on the man's thin lips, but compared to the coldness in his eyes, it seemed so unreal.

"Jian Zhendong, Jian Zhendong," as the man softly murmured these three words, his powerful index finger tapped rhythmically on the table, a smile spreading across his lips with increasing radiance.

A sudden, hurried ring of a cell phone pierced the silence of the spacious office.

With a glance, the man nonchalantly picked it up and said nothing.

The person opposite spoke respectfully:

"Boss, I've finished what you asked me to do.

"

Jian Zhen Dong really did have a hidden vault outside, and that illegitimate son of his was ten years old this year.

"Hmm," Shen Xiujin narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the line of small characters on the computer screen, the ruthlessness in his eyes flashing for a moment: "Find every way to get the genetic profile of Jian Zhen Dong's son."

"Boss, what do you want"

“Didn’t Jian Mo Bai die from his illness” A sarcastic smile crossed her eyes: “Jian Zhen Dong, that ungrateful mutt, thinks that with a younger son, the life and death of his elder son no longer concern him.” The man's voice turned cold: "He's daydreaming!"

On the phone, Shen Er hesitated for a moment. He knew in his heart that although Boss was ruthless, the purpose of doing this was probably ultimately for Ms. Jian.

But Boss didn't say, Shen Er naturally wouldn't point it out, only respectfully replied "Yes".

Leaving aside other matters, whether Jian Dong's younger son can successfully pair with his elder son is still a question.

Furthermore, Boss doing this wouldn't help Shen in his current predicament much. At most, it would just cause some trouble for Jian Zhen Dong and make things uncomfortable for him.

Shen Er thought of this, and felt sorry for his own boss and the only wife in that boss's heart.

They clearly care a lot.

……

Recently, the city of S has been in turmoil. People are living in fear.

Lu's identity, Lu Mingchu, was actually the illegitimate son of the Shen family. Though he was a child kept out of sight.

Yet, on his own birthday, Old Master Shen hosted a grand banquet, inviting guests from all walks of life. Prominent figures in politics and business gathered. At the height of the celebration, he publicly announced Lu Mingchu's identity as the son of the Shen family.

Those who were more sensitive to smell and sharper in mind immediately detected the different scent.

Mr. Shen was slapping Shen Xiujin in the face!

At the banquet, Shen Xiujin’s aura was chilling.

Within a single night, major newspapers, mainstream media outlets, and social media platforms were abuzz with reports. The coverage dominated front pages and headlines across the board!

That afternoon, word spread—someone leaked the news that Old Master Shen was considering naming his other son, Lu Mingchu, as the heir to the Shen family.

It was originally just a rumor and had no real effect.

However, the next day on the third day's front page of the newspaper, Lu published a statement claiming to sincerely cooperate with Shen to jointly develop the Chiwu Island project.

This message doesn't seem like a joint response from both parties, but rather Lu Mingchu's response to the successor of the Shen family patriarch.

When immortals fight, little demons get out of the way.

For a time, the situation in City S was chaotic and unpredictable. No one dared to make any rash moves before understanding the underlying power dynamics, fearing that they might offend someone powerful and meet an untimely end.

The Lu Group made a statement that afternoon, and a piece of news even more puzzling came out. The Jian Group immediately stated that it would work with the Lu Group with one heart and one mind, cooperating for mutual benefit.

One Shen family, two members of the Shen family fighting, the first person to take sides appeared—the Jian family.

Few people are unaware of the relationship between the Shen and Jian families.

Jian Zhen-dong, the head of the Jian family, raised the banner of justice and tearfully accused Shen Xiu-jin, the current head of the Shen family, of abusing and persecuting his daughter, Jian Tong.

For a time, on the internet, major bloggers posted articles. The article was written from the perspective of Jian Zhen Dong's elderly father, recounting his daughter Jian Tong's past suffering and how she had mysteriously disappeared three years ago, never returning home.

The words expressed deep sorrow and heartbreak, a testament to an old father's love for his daughter. His boundless affection was palpable, bringing tears to the eyes of all who witnessed it. The scene was both poignant and bittersweet, evoking overwhelming sympathy.

As a result, the internet exploded. Shen Xiuqin became a public enemy, everyone wanted to beat him up.

For a time, accusers were everywhere. Below the Shen Group building, crowds frequently gathered, claiming they were there to seek justice for the pitiful daughter of the Jian family who had been wronged.

In the midst of this torrent of criticism, another explosive post went viral online - Lord Shen, where is your conscience! Hell is not far, and prison awaits you!

Shen shares continued to decline.

At this very moment, during the Shen Shi new product launch event, a major leak has occurred. The latest product design is shockingly similar to that of an unknown small company.

Scandal! Big scandal!

"Top headline on Today's News - The massive Shen Corporation, plagiarizing a university student's startup product Shen Corporation, where is your style!"

Just the title is enough to shock you!

Shen shares plummeted for a week in a row, and now news of stealing college students' creativity has emerged, causing them to drop to a new low.

"That Shen Shi, a giant, look, it's only been a week. The giant from before is also weathering the storm now." In private gatherings, other business owners chatted like this.

While some expressed regret, many secretly rejoiced.

Shen氏 is not just Shen Xiujin's personal domain. The decline in Shen氏's stock price affects all shareholders. Major shareholders have jointly demanded a change of ownership, with Shen Xiujin stepping down and exiting the management team.

Though Shen Xiujin is the largest shareholder, he has been caught off guard due to three years of expansion without proper consolidation. His influence has been diluted as a result.

Right now, the victor and the vanquished are clear. When a tree falls, monkeys scatter; when a person is down, others kick them down further. Other business owners have reacted, realizing they cannot let the Jian family monopolize success.

Since the Jian family was the first to eat crabs, they shouldn't be the only ones to enjoy them.

Many entrepreneurs have started to choose sides, with Zhang's Real Estate, Wang's Entertainment, and Wu's Semiconductor being the most notable. They went to Lu Mingchu and presented him with a membership card.

Each one intends to carve out a slice of the cake in this reshuffling.

The tenth day

Shen Xiujin's face was a bit pale. Bai Yuxing called and said, "Shareholder meeting tomorrow"

"Uh huh."

"The old man is ruthless," Bai Yu said coldly. "This time, after enduring so much... all the old man wants is for you to lower your head and stop thinking about that woman."

"Impossible." On the phone, Shen Xiujing's thin lips were pale, his face slightly white, but he said firmly.

A snort came from the other end. "I just ask you, is it worth it"

"I can't lose my rib." She was his rib.her lips a few times, ultimately swallowing the question tinged with protest back down into her stomach... As long as she was good, it wouldn't hurt again... "...Hmm.""All the projects I'm currently...
