Chapter 163 Do you still need to consider it?
"Did someone say something to you?" My great-grandfather looked at me unkindly, then glanced coldly at my aunt.
The aunt was very nervous: "Dad, I didn't say anything."
She didn't dare to say.
This concerns the future of the mother and daughter.
Grandpa naturally knew that they were all in the same boat.
I said sarcastically, "Since so many people are involved in this and there are such huge profits to be made, do you think you're the only one who wants to trade this secret for something from me?"
"Who is it?!" The old man's eyes sharpened.
He thought he had the victory in his grasp, but he never expected to be tricked.
"Why would I tell you?" I scoffed. "I need to keep this person around so she can continue to tip me off."
"Even if you already knew the truth, you can't change your background." My great-grandfather looked at me angrily: "If you don't agree tonight, I'll make sure everyone knows about this first thing tomorrow morning."
"Dad, do you hate me that much?" A deep, cold voice came from the direction of the door.
"Xingyuan?" Grandfather exclaimed in surprise.
I frowned slightly.
Shen Xingyuan arrived, sitting in a wheelchair, his handsome and mature face filled with a cold expression.
"Uncle, how... how did you get here?" Aunt was very shocked.
"Did you all think I was still in a mental hospital?" Shen Xingyuan sneered. "You threw me in there all these years and then abandoned me. Didn't you ever think that someone would rescue me?"
"Who will save you?" the old man asked coldly.
"Do you think I would tell you?" Shen Xingyuan's expression was cold: "I just didn't expect that you would ruin me and now you're trying to ruin my daughter."
I scoffed: "Who's your daughter?"
Shen Xingyuan: "..."
“I came here to find out what happened the day my mother went to see Shen Yuan alone, and what triggered her.” I looked at everyone with a gloomy expression: “Now I know, it was Shen Yuan who told her about it, and she found out that she was defiled in her dream. She couldn’t bear it, which is why she became like that.”
I clenched my fingers.
The thought of my mom breaking down when she finds out the truth makes me feel terrible.
She was insane in her past life too.
Is it because of this?
"Yan Yan, I'm so sorry about this." Shen Xingyuan looked at me with remorse.
“I am my mother’s daughter, not yours. I don’t have a father.” I was furious.
"I have an unshirkable responsibility towards you and your mother." Shen Xingyuan looked at me helplessly, "I will make it up to you."
"Compensation?" I raised an eyebrow. "You deal with them first, then let me see how you perform."
Shen Xingyuan narrowed his eyes, then looked at his great-grandfather: "Since my daughter has made a request, then we'll have to trouble everyone."
"Xingyuan, what are you doing!" Grandfather was furious: "Let me tell you, if you dare to do anything reckless, I will expose this matter completely."
He was convinced that no one had any evidence to prove that they were the ones who did it.
"Dad, you'd better think this through." Shen Xingyuan smiled meaningfully: "My older brother has secretly spent a lot of money over the years to secure these projects, hasn't he? Should I report all of this to the Discipline Inspection Commission?"
Grandpa's face darkened: "What did you say?"
"Dad, I'm not joking with you." Shen Xingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Think about it, if I didn't have something that could control you, would I be here today?"
The great-grandfather looked at Shen Xingyuan with a gloomy expression and smiled coldly: "The fall of the Shen family will not do you any good."
"When the Shen family was doing well, it had nothing to do with me," Shen Xingyuan said with a sneer.
Grandpa's face was as black as soot from the bottom of a pot.
"Grandpa, don't believe Uncle's words!" Shen Ning said anxiously.
"What are you doing, interrupting when adults are talking? That's rude." Shen Xingyuan smiled slowly. "Sister-in-law, if you don't know how to raise children, why don't you leave it to me? I'll help you raise them."
Auntie knew how much Shen Xingyuan hated them.
When Shen Xingyuan was kicked out of the Shen family, she kicked him hard.
The purpose was to ensure he could never come back.
"No need," Auntie said with a stern face.
"By the way, aren't you all curious why our eldest brother hasn't come back yet?" Shen Xingyuan looked at everyone with a half-smile.
Grandpa realized what was happening.
The bidding process should have ended by now.
Huo Yubai has returned, but Shen Feng is still nowhere to be found.
“Call him,” the great-grandfather said to the great-aunt.
Auntie immediately took out her phone.
"No need," Shen Xingyuan said with a cold laugh. "Big brother is probably not available to answer the phone right now."
But my aunt still called.
A notification sound came from the phone: The user you dialed has turned off their phone.
"Dad, Shen Feng's phone is off." Auntie said in a panic.
"Maybe it's out of power," Shen Ning said.
"In this kind of environment, how do you think a cell phone can run out of battery and shut down?" Shen Xingyuan sarcastically reminded him, "Unless there's only one situation, which is that it's being controlled, right, Dad? You should have experience with that."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Grandpa exclaimed in a huff.
"Dad, I'll try contacting them again," Auntie said, unwilling to give up.
She took her phone and went outside, not wanting us to know who she was contacting.
A few minutes later.
Aunt rushed in and went to Great-Grandpa's side, whispering, "Dad, Shen Feng is really at the police station, what should we do?"
"What exactly did you do!" The great-grandfather glared at Shen Xingyuan, furious. "Let me tell you, this is Lincheng. None of you are going to have an easy time today!"
"Dad, save your breath." Shen Xingyuan mocked, "The fact that the higher-ups didn't consult the Shen family about this urban renewal project already speaks volumes. The Shen family has made enough money over the years; they should know when to back down, or they'll end up with nothing."
"You actually tried to harm your elder brother! I don't have a son like you!" The great-grandfather glared angrily at Shen Xingyuan.
Shen Xingyuan showed no anger: "Dad, is my eldest brother's freedom more important, or Shen Ning's marriage? You choose."
“I don’t believe Dad would be in trouble,” Shen Ning retorted. “What kind of status does our Shen family have in Lincheng? This is just a false alarm.”
"Stop talking," the aunt reminded her.
"Grandpa!" Shen Ning said with red eyes, "As long as I marry Brother Yu Bai, I will be the young mistress of the Huo family, and I can rescue Dad."
"Shen Ning, are you out of your mind?" I frowned. "Things have come to this point. What good will it do you to marry Huo Yubai? Will he really help you? Even if you marry him, is he obligated to help the Shen family?"
Amazing thought process.
"Why not!" Shen Ning said with red eyes, "Once we're married, the Shen family and the Huo family will share weal and woe."
"Why should the Huo family share the same fate as the Shen family?" Huo Yubai asked indifferently. "It's not unheard of for a business marriage to end with someone kicking you while you're down. That's just wishful thinking."
Shen Ning froze.
What Huo Yubai said did indeed happen.
And there are quite a few.
"Dad, after tonight, there will be a steady stream of evidence sent to the police station. By then, you won't be able to protect my brother." Shen Xingyuan smiled coldly: "Do you still need to consider it?"
