Shen Jun gazed at the ceiling, feeling helpless. “My heart is failing, but my mind remains clear. I know Shen Da and the others are up to something within the corporation. I’m not oblivious to that, but they are still family, connected by blood. It’s just a matter of losing some money; who hasn’t made mistakes? It’s almost time to let it go, and I don’t want to pursue it further. When you mentioned their impure intentions, I thought of giving them another chance… but they have truly betrayed my trust. This time, their actions have gone too far. Do whatever you think is necessary. Just remember one thing: take care of yourself.”
Shen Qingyue held Shen Jun’s hand, saying, “Grandpa, rest assured. This time, I will seek justice on your behalf.”
Looking at her, Shen Jun replied, “I know, a lot has happened during this time, and it has been tough on you. If anything happens to Shen Da this time, the fate of the corporation will rest on your shoulders.”
“I can handle it alone!” Shen Qingyue’s gaze was resolute.
Seeing the child she had raised, now forced to mature before her time, Shen Jun felt a pang of heartache. She should have lived her life like a princess, but now she had become a warrior, facing all obstacles. “When you feel tired, take a break. Don’t push yourself too hard. If need be, you can even give up on the corporation. I’ve left you enough money to live worry-free.”
“I know,” Shen Qingyue smiled.
Shen Qingyue had more than enough evidence in her hands, and she did not bother negotiating with Shen Da. Instead, she went straight to pressing charges against him.
When the police came to arrest him, Shen Da’s family was still celebrating their apparent victory over the group, thinking they would soon take control. But this beautiful dream came to a swift end.
Shen Da’s wife, Xu Fengzhi, desperately tried to stop the police with her two children, but throwing tantrums would not help. In the end, she could only watch Shen Da being taken away by the police.
After Shen Da was taken away, Xu Fengzhi immediately inquired about the reason and learned that it was that despicable woman, Shen Qingyue, who was behind it all. So, she stormed into the hospital with Shen Yiyang and the others.
Despite Shen Qingyue’s preparations, she moved Shen Jun to a different ward and increased security. Now, there was only her left in the ward, waiting for them.
Xu Fengzhi barged into the room and started berating Shen Qingyue, “You ungrateful wretch! Shen Da is your own uncle by marriage, yet you sent him to the police station! When your parents passed away, who stood up and helped you out? Have you lost all sense of conscience? Our family worked tirelessly to protect the group, and this is how you repay us? Withdraw your accusations immediately, or I’ll expose all the shady things you and your grandpa did. You won’t even know how you’ll meet your end!”
Shen Qingyue calmly looked at her and waited for the rant to be over. Then she spoke calmly, “Conscience? So, you actually acknowledge that there’s such a thing in this world? When my uncle by marriage was swindled out of money for his education, it was my Grandpa who paid for him to continue his studies. When you two got married, it was my parents who financed and supported the wedding. These things are nothing compared to what you schemed for in the company, and the things you did in secret. You should know that very well, right? Now you come here and talk to me about conscience?”
Xu Fengzhi had been used to being praised and fawned over for years, so she could not stand Shen Qingyue’s words. She mustered her bravado and said, “Our family has a clear conscience in the company. We haven’t done anything to harm the Shen family. You’re slandering us shamelessly. Let me tell you, if anything happens to your uncle by marriage, I’ll go make a scene at Shen Jun’s place. Isn’t his heart condition severe? If he gets upset and something happens to him, don’t blame me for not warning you.”
Hearing Xu Fengzhi dare mention Shen Jun, Shen Qingyue’s face turned cold as ice. “You dare bring up Grandpa! You both know very well how he ended up lying in that hospital bed. I also advise you, Aunt, to behave yourself for now. Otherwise, when the investigation reaches its end, no one with dirty hands will escape. And if my Grandpa even suspects any of you have caused any trouble, even a headache or a sneeze, you’ll all end up sewing in the prison workshop.”
As Shen Qingyue had stated, Xu Fengzhi knew exactly what Shen Da had done. Now that Shen Qingyue had exposed everything, Xu Fengzhi felt considerably diminished.
Shen Qingxue, who had always been the most fearless, saw her mother fall silent and quickly spoke up, “Shen Qingyue, how dare you threaten us? We haven’t done anything wrong, so you can go ahead and report us. We’re not afraid of you!”
“Haven’t done anything wrong?” Shen Qingyue finally turned her gaze toward her, “You stole your roommate’s thesis at school, committed academic fraud, and when it was discovered, Shen Da paid to cover it up for you. If the school finds out about this, do you think you’ll still graduate? And that’s not the only thing you’ve done.. I’ve always been too lazy to bother with you, but do you really think I can’t deal with you?”
