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

Shen Jianjun's facial muscles twitched slightly.

Shen Ze looked at him: "Shen Jianjun, you abandoned your wife and children in your early years and have never fulfilled your responsibilities as a father."

"My mother wanted to see you one last time before she passed away, but you didn't come."

"I don't have money for school, and you don't care."

"My mom and I live in a run-down building in Anpingli, while you live in a mansion, drink fine wine, and raise your precious son."

"The company is about to go bankrupt, and you come to me talking about father and son?"

Shen Jianjun's face was deathly pale, and his lips trembled: "Shen Ze, I know I've wronged you."

"But this time it really is a matter of life and death."

"If you help me just this once, I'll do anything you ask me to do in the future."

"I can publicly acknowledge you, I can give you shares in the group, and I can compensate you."

"Six hundred million, I'll write you an IOU."

As he spoke, he actually picked up a pen and paper from the side and began writing frantically.

"Look, I'll write it now."

"Principal of 600 million, you set the interest rate."

"As long as you lend it to me, I'll sign and put my fingerprint on it immediately."

Sun Mei quickly chimed in, "Shen Ze, your father has already gone to such lengths, what more do you want?"

"We were wrong about what happened in the past, but we have to keep looking forward."

"No matter how strong you are on your own, it's not as good as having your family supporting you."

"When you return to the Shen family, all past grievances will be wiped clean, and Congcong will treat you as an older brother from now on."

Shen Cong, lying on the hospital bed, looked pale, but dared not refute.

He now understands better than anyone that if Shen Ze doesn't provide the funds, Jianjun Group might really not survive.

Shen Ze glanced at the three of them and suddenly found it laughable.

"Your so-called family ties only appear when you need me to spend money."

"I am useful, therefore I am a member of the Shen family."

"I'm useless, I'm just a bastard."

Sun Mei exclaimed urgently, "You can't say that!"

"How should I say it?"

Shen Ze's voice turned cold. "You call yourselves sycophants? You call yourselves shameless? You call your family of three still thinking everyone should revolve around you?"

Sun Mei's face turned pale and then flushed.

Shen Jianjun gripped the pen, his whole body trembling: "Shen Ze, I'm begging you, Dad."

I'm begging you.

"Six hundred million, just six hundred million."

"The Jianjun Group must not fall."

"It is the culmination of my life's work."

Shen Ze looked at him and said, word by word, "Then let it fall."

Shen Jianjun suddenly looked up, and Sun Mei was stunned.

Shen Ze said calmly, "I won't lend you a single penny."

"I will continue to coldly watch the Jianjun Group march step by step toward its demise."

"The more you suffer, the more satisfied I am."

Shen Jianjun felt as if he had been punched in the chest, staggered back two steps, and slumped back into his chair.

Sun Mei screamed, "Shen Ze, how could you be so cruel?"

"Your dad is already begging you on his knees!"

Shen Ze looked at her: "When my mother begged him back then, he was even more ruthless."

As soon as she finished speaking, all of Sun Mei's words caught in her throat.

Shen Jianjun suddenly covered his face, his shoulders trembling violently.

The next second, he broke down in tears.

It wasn't a suppressed cry, but the howl of a middle-aged man utterly crushed by reality.

"It's over..."

"It's all over..."

"My company...my life's work..."

Sun Mei stood to the side, her lips trembling, tears mingling with her makeup, no longer resembling a noblewoman.

Shen Cong lay on the hospital bed, his face ashen and his eyes vacant.

The ward was filled with gloom and despair.

Shen Ze looked at the family of three trapped in a desperate situation without a shred of pity and turned to leave.

At the same time, the collapse of cryptocurrencies quickly swept across the city.

The financial sector in Shanghai has been completely thrown into turmoil.

Several private equity funds heavily invested in cryptocurrencies have suffered consecutive setbacks, with some suspending redemptions overnight and others declaring bankruptcy and liquidation.

Investment groups, financial forums, and social media feeds are filled with cries of despair.

Star Group, President's Office.

The secretary rushed in, unable to contain her excitement: "President Yu!"

Yu Binglan looked up: "What's wrong?"

The secretary handed over the tablet: "Bitcoin crashed!"

"The price plummeted from its peak, dragging down the entire cryptocurrency market."

"Our investment department just reviewed the market. If we hadn't followed your instructions to sell at the high point yesterday, we would have lost at least 30 million today."

"And this is just your personal account; many private equity funds have suffered even greater losses."

Yu Binglan took the tablet and looked at the glaring drop on it, her heart skipped a beat.

Shen Ze said the risk was very high, and it really did collapse, even more violently than he had warned.

The secretary was still excited: "Mr. Yu, your judgment this time was absolutely accurate."

"The investment department is saying that you perfectly timed your exit at the peak."

"And something big has also happened at Jianjun Group."

Yu Binglan looked up: "Jianjun Group?"

The secretary nodded: "I heard that Jianjun Group's working capital was misappropriated to speculate in cryptocurrency, resulting in heavy losses."

"Furthermore, the failure of a multi-billion dollar cooperation deal has caused market confidence to collapse."

"Their stock price plummeted after the market opened today, and in just a few hours, its market value evaporated by tens of billions."

"There are rumors circulating that Jianjun Group's cash flow may not be able to hold up."

Yu Binglan remained silent for a few seconds, a glimmer of light appearing in her eyes.

She knew that none of this was a coincidence.

If Shen Ze hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have sold off her shares at the peak.

If Shen Ze hadn't spread that message, Shen Cong wouldn't have been so greedy as to pour all of Jianjun Group's working capital into it.

Shen Ze didn't make a big fuss from beginning to end, but every step he took was so precise that it was astonishing.

The secretary couldn't help but exclaim, "Mr. Yu, Mr. Shen is truly amazing!"

Yu Binglan nodded slightly, her tone filled with undisguised pride: "Yes, he has always been very capable."

On the other hand, when Zheng Yuansheng woke up in the morning, he regretted it for a while because of the slight rise in the market.

He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the transaction records of yesterday's sales, feeling somewhat empty inside.

"Did we sell it too early?"

He rubbed his hair, opened the investment group, and the next second, he sat up straight.

The group chat has exploded.

[It's over! I've been liquidated!]

The platform is completely frozen; I can't sell anything!

Why did Bitcoin drop so drastically?

I even added to my position last night, and now I've lost all my principal!

[Who said they could reach 100,000? Come out here!]

All the leverage I had on my loan is gone!

【I don't want to live anymore, I really don't want to live anymore!】

Zheng Yuansheng's fingers froze on the screen, his heart pounding faster and faster. He immediately opened the market data software.

Bitcoin prices have plummeted from their highs, with a drop so large it's chilling.

If he hadn't sold yesterday, his account would definitely be halved by now.

If you listen to those people in the group and keep adding to your position, you might not even be able to keep your principal.

Zheng Yuansheng's throat bobbed, and cold sweat slowly broke out on his back.

Just then, private messages started popping up one after another.

[Old Zheng, why did you sell all your shares yesterday?]

[Bro, did you know something beforehand?]

[Brother Zheng, help me! Please take me under your wing when you invest in the future.]

"Brother Zheng, you were amazing this time! I want to become your student."

We shouldn't have mocked you yesterday; you really have good taste.
