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

Shen Ze opened his phone and quickly retrieved the information.

The records included transfer records, chat screenshots, voice recordings, and even messages from the other party urging him to continue calming Shen Cong down and inducing him to increase his investment.

The evidence was complete, even more complete than he had expected.

He misappropriated funds from Jianjun Group to speculate in cryptocurrency, incurring losses of over a billion yuan, and then hired someone to injure and silence witnesses.

If these two events happen simultaneously, Jianjun Group's stock price will plummet.

Shen Ze put away his phone and glanced at the man on the hospital bed: "Stay in the hospital for the next few days and don't wander around."

The other person nodded repeatedly, as if they had been given a second chance at life.

The next morning.

The Shen family villa was brightly lit.

The servants were busy setting up the dining table, the butler was busy checking the guest list, and cars were coming and going at the door, with guests constantly entering.

Shen Jianjun changed into a sharp suit, his hair was carefully styled, and even his leather shoes were polished to a shine.

While arranging the birthday banquet, he personally stood at the door to greet guests, smiling at everyone and speaking with great enthusiasm.

The new energy project he negotiated last night made him feel like he had finally found a chance to turn his life around.

Today's birthday party is more like the beginning of him regaining his dignity.

Meanwhile, Ziyuan Bund Impression.

After finishing his breakfast, Shen Ze did not rush to go out.

Several documents were on the table.

One document contains information about Pan Qiang's family.

One document contains Zhao Wenxuan's records of fund transfers within the Jianjun Group.

There is also a timeline for the future planning of the area surrounding Qingnian Road.

Last night, he went through all the clues again.

Pan Qiang, a well-known rich second-generation in Shanghai, previously invested in cryptocurrencies with Shen Cong.

Pan Qiang's family originally had some savings, but with the collapse of the cryptocurrency market, he not only lost all his own money, but also poured all the family's funds into it.

The Pan family went bankrupt.

The parents borrowed money everywhere, even mortgaging their villa.

Unfortunately, when Pan Qiang went out, he was spotted by Shen Cong's men.

This line is crucial for Shen Ze.

A person like Shen Cong, who lost 1.3 billion, will not reflect on his own actions but will only vent his anger on others.

Pan Qiang was one of the outlets he could find to vent his anger.

Shen Ze leaned back in his chair, his fingers lightly tapping the table.

Two things will be finalized today.

First, the Shanghai government announced plans for two new subway lines along Qingnian Road.

Both routes are built around Qingnian Road.

That piece of land in the old city that everyone ridiculed will become a hot commodity that investors will fight tooth and nail for overnight.

Second, the embezzlement of 300 million yuan by Zhao Wenxuan, a senior executive of Jianjun Group, will be exposed.

Zhao Wenxuan will not stay to confess; he will abscond with 400 million yuan in cash and disappear completely.

Any one of these events would be enough to cripple the Jianjun Group.

With both things happening at once, Shen Jianjun's birthday today is destined to be anything but pleasant.

Shen Ze's phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and glanced at it; it was a message from his subordinate.

Chairman Shen, the news of Pan Qiang's hospitalization has been released.

[Shen Cong did indeed make a move; he sent someone over last night.]

The bald assassin was subdued by our pre-arranged men as soon as he entered the ward.

Immediately afterwards, several photos were sent over.

In the ward, a bald man was pinned to the ground with his hands tied behind his back, his face pressed against the floor tiles, and a cloth stuffed in his mouth.

The other image is a chat log from a mobile phone.

The notes above are very clear.

Cong Shao.

He's in the hospital room; don't let him speak again.

Make it clean.

Money is not a problem.

If anything happens, I'll arrange for you to leave.

Shen Ze's expression remained unchanged after reading it.

Shen Cong certainly didn't disappoint him; he jumped into the pit himself, and did so so decisively.

My subordinate sent another message.

Chat logs, transfer records, and call recordings have all been retained.

The assassin has been handed over to a reliable person.

[With just a word from you, the evidence can be released at any time.]

Shen Ze replied with two words.

[Suppress it for now.]

Don't rush to play this card.

What needs to be addressed most now is Shen Jianjun's mindset.

Let him first put on a very high face in front of all his relatives, friends, tycoons, and the Sun family.

Another slap, and that's when it really hurts.

Shen Ze closed the documents, got up, and picked up his coat.

The butler hurried over: "Mr. Shen, the car is ready."

Shen Ze nodded: "Let's go."

On the other side, at Huazhou Junting.

Shen Jianjun's birthday family banquet started to get lively from the morning.

Luxury cars lined up one after another in front of the villa.

Bentleys, Maybachs, Rolls-Royces, and Porsches practically filled the entire road.

The driver in a suit got out of the car and opened the door. The guests, carrying gift boxes and smiling, walked into the Shen family villa one after another.

Sun Mei was dressed exceptionally formally today.

She wore a haute couture gown, a diamond necklace, and two expensive bracelets stacked on her wrists.

She stood next to Shen Jianjun, her smile composed and steady.

"Mr. Li, it's really an honor for us that you could come."

"Chairman Wang, please come in. The alcohol has worn off."

"Oh my, Mrs. Zhang looks absolutely stunning today."

She was all smiles, but she was holding back a lot of energy inside.

The Shen family has been the butt of jokes for far too long.

Shen Cong lost 1.3 billion yuan, Jianjun Group's cash flow was tight, and Shen Ze kept stepping on them to show off.

She had long been fed up with people talking behind her back.

Today's family banquet is to show everyone that the Shen family is not yet fallen.

The Li family from Longdu also arrived.

Although the Li family isn't among the top tier, they still have influence in Longdu and are related to the Sun family.

When Sun Xia led Jiang Yan and the others into the room, Sun Mei immediately went to greet them.

"Sister Xia, you've finally arrived."

Sun Xia smiled and took her hand: "How could we not come on Jianjun's birthday?"

Jiang Yan followed behind, a smile of amusement on her face: "Auntie, this scene is really grand today, there are luxury cars lined up outside."

Sun Mei felt relieved to hear this, but she humbly replied, "They are all old friends. We're just giving Jianjun some face."

Shen Jianjun stepped forward, forcing himself to look somewhat energetic: "Sister Xia, please come in."

Sun Xia looked him up and down and said, "Jianjun, you look great. I knew you shouldn't believe those rumors."

Shen Jianjun smiled and said, "It's just a slight fluctuation in the group, nothing serious."

As soon as he said that, several guests nearby immediately echoed his sentiment.

"Mr. Shen is absolutely right."

"The Jianjun Group has a solid foundation; how can a few words from outsiders bring it down?"

"Exactly, Mr. Shen, what storms haven't you weathered to bring this company to where it is today?"

Shen Jianjun's smile finally became more natural.

That's exactly the effect he wanted.

Even though things were in complete disarray within the company, he had to maintain a facade in front of outsiders.

In the banquet hall, gifts quickly filled a long table.

Some people gave gifts like luxury watches, jade items, limited-edition leather belts, and others even gave a set of tea utensils from famous artists.

"Mr. Shen, this is a Patek Philippe that I specially had brought back from abroad. I wish you all the best and that your career will reach new heights."

"Jianjun, this is a jade pendant I've collected for many years. I'm giving it to you today for good luck."

"Mr. Shen, this belt isn't expensive, it's only a little over a million, please don't mind."

Shen Jianjun accepted them one by one, his face beaming with smiles.

"You're too kind."

"You're here, why did you bring anything?"

"Thank you all for your kindness."
