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

Shen Ze closed the file, his gaze chillingly cold: "Find someone immediately."

"You mean the driver?"

"The driver, Li Changfang, and everyone who was on duty at the hospital back then, have all been thoroughly investigated."

Shen Ze stood up: "I need to know who they met six years ago, what money they received, and what they did."

The secretary nodded immediately: "Understood."

Shen Ze walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the traffic below.

After his mother passed away, he asked himself countless times why the surgery had failed.

He thought the hospital had made a mistake, that his mother was just unlucky, and that everyone was right—it was just an irreversible accident.

Today, all the clues have finally come together again.

Sun Qingliang and his daughter entered the hospital late at night. Li Changfang resigned the next day. His mother died of internal bleeding after surgery.

Someone must have sabotaged this.

"Chairman Shen, should we continue investigating Li Changfang's communications and accounts over the years?"

The secretary's voice came from behind me.

Shen Ze turned around and said directly, "Find the top hackers."

"We will obtain all of Li Changfang's communication records, financial statements, bank accounts, and all transfers over the past six years."

"I don't care how many accounts he used, or how many layers of transfer the funds went through."

"I want to know who he has taken money from and who he has contacted over the years."

The secretary's expression hardened: "This could involve a large amount of private data, and technically..."

Money is not a problem.

Shen Ze interrupted, "I'm willing to pay any price to find out the truth."

"Understood, I'll arrange it right away."

After the secretary left, Shen Ze looked at the documents on the table again.

He didn't have the urge to go find Sun Mei, nor did he immediately contact Sun Qingliang.

Everyone assumed that six years had passed since the mother's death, that the evidence had long since disappeared, and that no one would pursue the truth.

But Shen Ze didn't think so. He believed that anything done would leave a trace.

Meanwhile, Shen Jianjun and Sun Mei had already left the bank.

The two did not go to the Sun family's house, nor did they return to their original villa.

The villa had been seized by the bank, and the entrance was covered with seals.

All of Jianjun Group's properties, vehicles, equity, and industries have also been frozen.

All accounts are inaccessible, and all assets are about to enter judicial auction proceedings.

The couple could only stay temporarily in a hotel arranged by Sun Qingliang.

After pushing open the door, Sun Mei looked at the empty suite and felt as if all her strength had been drained.

Although this is considered a high-end hotel, it is nothing compared to the mansions they used to live in.

Shen Jianjun sat down on the sofa and looked down at the auction notice in his hand.

The auction will begin tomorrow.

His voice was hoarse: "Office buildings, warehouses, vehicles, and all the properties under the group's name will be put up for sale."

Sun Mei gritted her teeth and said, "Those are our things."

"That's not the case anymore."

Shen Jianjun looked at her: "Mingzhu Private Bank has already initiated the disposal process. Shen Ze will not leave us any chance."

Why?

Mei suddenly raised her voice: "He's already destroyed the Jianjun Group, isn't that enough?"

Shen Jianjun did not answer; he also wanted to ask why.

But when he thought about how he and Sun Mei treated Xu Ying and her son back then, he couldn't bring himself to say those words.

They didn't leave Xu Ying a house, nor did they leave her any compensation. They even forbade her to return to the Shen family to pack her belongings.

They forced the mother and son to leave, and then used their connections with the Sun family to block all their escape routes.

Now that Shen Ze has taken everything they own, it seems he is simply paying off a debt.

"He's a madman!"

Sun Mei grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it hard on the ground.

"What right does he have to ruin our lives? Jianjun Group is the culmination of decades of our hard work!"

Shen Jianjun closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa: "Stop talking..."

"If I don't speak, am I just going to admit defeat?"

Sun Mei, her eyes red, said, "As long as my dad is willing to help, we still have a chance."

"The Sun family has already said they will not cover our debts."

"My dad won't really abandon me."

She spoke firmly, but there was little confidence in her voice.

The Sun family now regards her as a loser.

If Sun Qingliang hadn't still cared about his relationship with his daughter, they probably wouldn't have even been allowed to stay at the hotel.

The judicial auction officially began the following morning.

Shen Ze personally came to the auction.

Inside the auction hall sat many people from Shanghai's business community.

They may have come to bid for Jianjun Group's assets, or they may simply want to see how a former billionaire has come to where he is today.

Shen Jianjun and Sun Mei were also allowed to attend.

However, the two had no seats and could only stand in the back corner.

The auctioneer struck the gavel.

"The first item up for auction is an office building owned by Jianjun Group, with an appraised value of 1.8 billion yuan and a starting bid of 1.2 billion yuan."

"1.3 billion".

"1.4 billion".

"1.5 billion!"

The bidding ended quickly.

The office building was ultimately sold for a price far below its market value.

Shen Jianjun's face was deathly pale, and his body was trembling slightly.

He personally selected the location and designed the office building, and spent many years developing it.

But now, others have easily taken it away for less than half the normal price.

Subsequently, warehouses, vehicles, shops, and shares were auctioned off one after another.

Each time the gavel fell, it felt like a heavy blow to Shen Jianjun's heart.

"A warehouse in Xicheng District owned by Jianjun Group, with a starting bid of 300 million yuan."

"Three hundred and ten million."

"Three hundred and fifty million."

"make a deal!"

"The starting bid for Jianjun Group's 31% stake in the industrial company is 500 million yuan."

"Five hundred and fifty million."

"make a deal!"

People kept raising their paddles, but the price remained surprisingly low.

Some people whispered among themselves.

"If this asset were placed on the normal market, it could sell for at least twice the price."

"There's nothing we can do; that's how it is with auctions of mortgaged assets."

"Shen Jianjun used to be so successful, but now he can't even keep his own businesses."

"I heard Shen Ze is here too."

"Is that the chairman of Mingzhu Private Bank? He witnessed Shen Jianjun's assets being auctioned off today?"

"This is what true reckoning is all about."

Shen Ze sat in the front row, his expression remaining calm throughout.

Every time Shen Jianjun looked at him, his eyes were filled with intense resentment.

Are you satisfied now?

He finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Are you very satisfied? Are you very proud to see my decades of hard work being taken away by someone else at a low price?"

The auction hall gradually quieted down, and everyone's attention fell on the two people.

Shen Ze looked at him, his tone completely calm: "I didn't take these things."

"You yourself took out a loan using your assets as collateral, which plunged the group into a debt crisis."

"What's wrong with the bank disposing of the collateral in accordance with the law?"

Stop pretending to be a good guy!

Shen Jianjun gritted his teeth: "If you hadn't deliberately set this trap, how could Jianjun Group have ended up like this?"

Shen Ze said calmly, "If you are not greedy, not in a hurry to turn your lives around, and do not engage in illegal mining, no one can force you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him began to whisper among themselves.

"That's right, Jianjun Group has driven itself to its own demise."

"They dared to secretly start mining even with a loan of 6.9 billion; they're incredibly audacious."

"It's unreasonable to blame others now."
