My stepmother forced me to donate bone marrow, so I retaliated by slapping my scumbag father in the

The mine managers around him kept their heads down, none of them daring to speak.

When someone saw the stack of evidence, the last shred of hope vanished from their face.

"They know exactly what time to turn on the equipment every day."

"He remembers exactly how many truckloads were shipped out."

"How can this be explained?"

"I told you long ago we couldn't take any risks, and now all fifteen mines are finished."

Hearing these whispers, Shen Jianjun turned his head sharply.

"Shut up!"

"Shut up, all of you!"

He flipped through the materials again, his eyes bloodshot.

Every page is irrefutable evidence that they cannot refute.

The so-called resort project becomes a complete joke in the face of these records.

Sun Mei was still unwilling to give up and quickly walked up to the investigators.

"Our mining permits are currently under review!"

"We didn't intentionally violate the mining regulations; it's just that the order delivery time was too tight, so we started the equipment ahead of schedule."

"Since the procedures are already being processed, it cannot be considered unlicensed mining!"

The staff member asked directly, "Have you received the official approval documents?"

"The materials have been submitted!"

"My question is, has it been officially approved?"

Sun Mei opened her mouth.

Chen Wen only told them that the materials had been submitted and were awaiting review.

As for the official approval document, they had never seen it.

"Approval is only a matter of time."

Sun Mei insisted, "Chen Wen from Mingzhu Private Bank has been handling this for us; he can vouch for it!"

She quickly took out her phone, found Chen Wen's number, and dialed it.

A mechanical notification tone soon sounded from the phone.

"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."

Sun Mei's expression changed. After hanging up, she dialed again, but still couldn't get through.

Why aren't you answering the phone?

"He clearly said he would keep urging us to expedite the approval process!"

She tried seven or eight times in a row, and got the same result each time.

Shen Jianjun couldn't help but take out his phone: "I'll make the call!"

After the call was made, Chen Wen did not answer.

The couple stood at the entrance of the sealed-off mine, dialing that number again and again.

The staff around them were all watching them.

Some frowned, while others shook their heads helplessly.

"They dared to operate fifteen mines at the same time without even obtaining the official qualifications."

"They even deliberately chose to start work late at night, clearly knowing that their actions were illegal."

"Now that all the evidence is laid out before us, it's useless to ask anyone to vouch for us."

As gazes fell upon him, Shen Jianjun felt an increasing tightness in his chest.

In the past, he was a prominent billionaire in Shanghai.

Ordinary people didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of him.

Now, he stands outside his own mine, watching helplessly as equipment worth over six billion yuan is transported away one by one.

He could not produce any documents or provide a reasonable explanation.

Even Chen Wen, the only person they could contact, never answered the phone.

The staff member in charge of the investigation put away the materials, speaking in a serious tone.

Whether an approval application has been submitted and whether mining can proceed are two separate matters.

"No individual or business may mine without obtaining a formal permit."

"Moreover, you used fake tourism projects to cover up your actual activities, the mining lasted for several days, and the amount of transportation and sales was not small."

"According to regulations, in addition to sealing off the mine and confiscating the equipment, illegal gains will be recovered and fines will be imposed."

Sun Mei hurriedly asked, "How much is the fine?"

"The specific amount needs to be determined based on the amount mined, the illegal gains, and the impact caused."

The staff member looked at her and said, "You are involved in fifteen mines, which is a large-scale operation. The fine will not be small."

"If subsequent investigations reveal that the mining period was longer, the amount of mining was greater, or the case meets the criteria for criminal prosecution, those responsible may face imprisonment."

Imprisonment!

Upon hearing those four words, Sun Mei's body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.

Shen Cong was just sentenced to sixteen years. Does that mean he and his wife will also be imprisoned now?

"No……"

Sun Mei shook her head frantically: "We only mined for a few days!"

"Yes, Chen Wen told us to do it!"

"He told us that they would build the resort during the day and secretly mine at night, and that everything would return to normal once the permits were issued!"

The staff member immediately asked, "Are there any relevant chat logs or recordings?"

Sun Mei hurriedly scrolled through her phone, but when she and Chen Wen discussed this matter, they mostly communicated face-to-face.

In subsequent phone calls, Chen Wen only said that the materials had been sent for review, and never directly mentioned illegal mining.

She searched for a long time but found nothing.

Shen Jianjun stood to the side, his face growing increasingly grim.

He finally realized that from the moment he decided to secretly begin mining, Chen Wen had never left any evidence that could implicate him.

He was the one who arranged the personnel, and he was the one who ordered the equipment to start operating late at night.

He was still the one who coordinated with Qian Hui, organized transportation, and collected payments.

Chen Wen only gave a verbal suggestion.

The only person who truly needs to bear all the consequences is him!

"It's over..."

The document in Shen Jianjun's hand fell to the ground.

He watched as the equipment was continuously loaded onto trucks and transported away, and his legs could no longer support him, so he sat down heavily next to the entrance of the mine.

Decades ago, he was just a small business owner with little capital.

In order to climb the social ladder, he took the initiative to approach Duan Longsheng and used his mentor's connections to enter the business district of Shanghai.

Later, in order to climb up the social ladder to the Sun family of Longdu, he abandoned Xu Ying and the young Shen Ze, and turned to marry Sun Mei.

With the help of the Sun family's funds, projects, and connections, Jianjun Group gradually grew and eventually became a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate.

In those years, he was flattered wherever he went.

Countless business tycoons take the initiative to visit him, just to have a meal with him.

He believed that everything he possessed was proof of his ability.

But now, Duan Longsheng has expelled him from the family, the Sun family disgraces him, and his former business partners avoid him like the plague.

The son is seriously ill and sentenced to sixteen years in prison, and the company is heavily in debt.

Now even the last fifteen mines have been shut down.

His decades of hard work are about to go to waste.

Sun Mei sat beside him, her expression equally blank.

She is the daughter of Sun Qingliang from Longdu. Her family has countless outstanding members, and she has wanted to prove to everyone since she was a child that she is no less capable than her brothers and sisters.

However, in recent years, the investments she spearheaded have failed one after another.

Douxin was treated as a bottomless pit by her, and then fell into Shen Ze's hands, creating a transaction volume of 2.6 billion in a single day.

Later, the projects she introduced led to Jianjun Group being swindled out of hundreds of millions of yuan.

Fifteen mines were her last bargaining chip for turning the tide.

As long as the mine can bring in billions in profits, she can return to her father and have everyone in the Sun family acknowledge her abilities.

Now, all hope is shattered.

She will not only fail to prove herself, but will also become a failure in the eyes of the entire family.

"My dad will never believe me again..."

Sun Mei's eyes were vacant: "The Sun family will all laugh at me."

"They will say that we destroyed the Jianjun Group."

The couple sat side by side, slumped on the cold ground.

Not far away, the last batch of large equipment was secured to the transport vehicle.

As the vehicle slowly drove out of the mine, the hope in their eyes was also completely taken away.
