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

As Shen Jianjun listened to those words, his expression grew increasingly grim.

He wanted to refute it, but couldn't find any reason to do so.

The auction continues.

After the last asset was sold, Shen Jianjun collapsed onto the steps at the entrance.

Sun Mei stood beside him, and finally, she couldn't hold back her tears.

"That's all..."

Her voice trembled as she watched the vehicles being driven away and then at the properties in the distance that had been taken over by the new owners.

"The Jianjun Group is gone."

Shen Jianjun clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms: "It's all Shen Ze's fault!"

"If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be like this."

Business people passing by the entrance stopped in their tracks upon hearing this.

Someone looked at Shen Jianjun and couldn't help but sneer.

"They blame Chairman Shen for their own business failures."

"Didn't he used to say that business only cares about results?"

"Now that the results are in, why can't he accept them?"

"With Chairman Shen controlling so many businesses now, what can Shen Jianjun do to compete with him?"

The comments reached the ears of the couple.

Sun Mei raised her head, her face full of resentment: "What right do you have to laugh at us?"

"We're just facing temporary difficulties!"

"Once the Sun family makes their move, we will definitely rise again!"

But the louder her voice became, the more noticeable the laughter around her became.

"Still waiting for the Sun family? The Sun family has already abandoned them."

"Besides, what Chairman Shen needs to deal with right now is the Sun family."

"This couple probably won't even be able to stay in their last hotel for long."

Sun Mei's face was deathly pale.

Shen Jianjun could no longer bear it and hurriedly pulled her away.

As the two walked out of the auction house, they could still hear murmurs behind them.

In the past, wherever they went, people would greet them.

Now, however, he can only flee in panic amidst the gazes and ridicule of others.

That night, the hotel front desk informed me that my room would be taken back soon.

Sun Qingliang was unwilling to cover any more of their expenses and only allowed them to stay until the end of the month.

But they don't have much money left that they can freely use.

Shen Jianjun looked at the luggage in the room and remained silent for a long time.

"Let's go."

"Where to?"

"Where else can we go? Go find your dad."

Sun Mei lowered her head, her eyes filled with humiliation.

But the two had nowhere else to go and could only return to Sun Qingliang's side once again.

When Shen Ze returned to Ziyuan, it was already close to midnight.

He walked into the study, closed the door, and a cold notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

[The host has successfully dealt a heavy blow to Shen Jianjun's family, completing a phase of revenge.]

[Congratulations, host, you have been awarded one chance to win a prize.]

Shen Ze stopped in his tracks.

After winning Pearl Private Bank in the last lottery, he hasn't triggered any new rewards.

This time, I was given another chance to win a prize.

Without hesitation, he chose to enter the lottery.

[Giveaway begins.]

[Congratulations, host, on acquiring 35% of the shares in Longsheng Group.]

The share transfer has been completed, and the host company is now the largest shareholder of Longsheng Group, possessing actual control.

Shen Ze opened his phone and checked the information he had just received.

Longsheng Group is a large conglomerate with businesses spanning multiple sectors and a very high market capitalization.

Thirty-five percent of the shares is enough for him to become the true controller.

Account and asset data have risen again.

Shen Ze's current business empire has expanded from hotels, banks, hospitals, and short video platforms to the Longsheng Group.

This also means that he will have to face the powerful Sun family head-on.

Just then, the secretary called again.

"Chairman Shen, the complete investigation data on Li Changfang over the past six years has been compiled."

Send it over.

The file was quickly transferred to Shen Ze's phone.

He read through each page until finally, the truth that had been covered up for six years was completely revealed.

Six years ago, Sun Mei and her father Sun Qingliang did indeed enter the hospital on the night of her mother's surgery.

The person they met was none other than the chief surgeon, Li Changfang.

Before the surgery, Sun Mei paid Li Changfang seven million yuan through an intermediary.

The money was transferred to different accounts in several installments before finally ending up in Li Changfang's name.

During the surgery, Li Changfang tampered with the procedures at the request of Sun Mei and her father.

He deliberately left a hidden danger, which caused Xu Ying to suffer severe internal bleeding after the operation.

After being discharged from the hospital, his condition deteriorated rapidly.

Knowing he had been exposed, Li Changfang immediately resigned and left Shanghai the day after Xu Ying's death.

Over the years, he has lived off the seven million and subsequent hush money, never returning to his hometown, nor daring to contact people from his past.

Shen Ze stared at the last page of the document, his hands slowly clenching.

Seven million... one human life.

My mother did not die accidentally from illness, but was deliberately murdered.

Sun Mei, Sun Qingliang, and Li Changfang conspired to take their mother's life.

"mom……"

Shen Ze closed his eyes, his breathing gradually becoming heavy.

Over the years, he had always thought that his mother was just unlucky.

He always thought that the failed surgery was just an unavoidable accident.

At this moment, all the doubts have finally been answered.

That was not an accident at all, but a murder they had planned long ago.

Shen Ze opened his eyes, but there was no warmth left in them.

He picked up his phone and dialed his secretary's number: "Book me a plane ticket."

The secretary was taken aback: "Mr. Shen, where are you headed?"

Shen Ze looked at Li Changfang's current address on the information, his voice icy.

"Go find Li Changfang."

"I want to see him in person."

The person on the other end of the phone immediately replied, "I'll arrange it right away."

Shen Ze hung up the phone and turned to walk to the window.

The night outside the window was deep and dark.

He gazed at the city lights in the distance, and the image of his mother's pale face before her death resurfaced in his mind.

"Sun Qingliang, Sun Mei, Li Changfang."

Shen Ze said, word by word, "None of you three will escape!"

Soon, the secretary sent over the information for the fastest flight.

Shen Ze sat in his study, looking at the flight information on his phone, and remained silent for a long time.

He will be heading to Hukou City early tomorrow morning.

That's where Li Changfang lives now, and it's also the starting point of that murder six years ago.

Yu Binglan brought over a cup of hot water and gently placed it in front of him: "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

Shen Ze looked up at her and said, "You should go and rest first."

"If you don't sleep, I can't sleep either."

Yu Binglan sat down next to him, her gaze falling on the documents on the table.

Shen Ze had already read the document many times; it clearly recorded Li Changfang's experiences over the years.

Back then, he was just a surgeon at the Third People's Hospital of Shanghai.

After receiving a reward of seven million, he resigned and left Shanghai, going to a county town in the south.

In just six years, he went from an ordinary doctor to a pharmacy owner with a net worth of tens of millions.

"You're going to Hukou City tomorrow. What are you planning to do with him?" Yu Binglan asked.

"Find him first."

Shen Ze closed the document and said calmly, "As long as he is alive, he must pay the price for what happened back then."
