"I won't talk about the case, I just want to see him."

Sun Mei's hands were trembling with anxiety: "I promise I won't say anything, I just want to see if my son is alright?"

The nurse next to her whispered a word of advice: "The patient just fainted once. It's really not appropriate for the family to get too emotional."

Sun Mei suddenly looked at the nurse, almost getting angry, but she held back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She can't cause trouble now. Before, when she was in the Shen family, she could scold whoever she wanted and suppress whoever she wanted.

But now, the people standing in front of her are law enforcement officers; no matter how much she throws a tantrum, no one will tolerate her.

Sun Mei took a deep breath and tried to soften her voice: "Twenty minutes, I want twenty minutes."

"I promise to cooperate with you and I will not say anything inappropriate."

The investigator looked at her for a few seconds, then whispered something to his colleague next to him before nodding: "Twenty minutes."

"We can't upset the patient, and we can't discuss the case. We'll be there."

Sun Mei nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."

When the ward door opened, Sun Mei practically rushed in.

Shen Cong lay on the bed, his face deathly pale, his lips chapped, and needles stuck in the back of his hand.

Hearing the noise, he slowly turned his head, and the moment he saw Sun Mei, he felt as if he had been electrocuted, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.

"mom!"

Shen Cong's voice was hoarse: "Mom, you're finally here!"

Sun Mei rushed to the bedside and grabbed his hand: "Cong'er, Mom is here, Mom is here."

Shen Cong gripped her tightly, his knuckles white: "Mom, please get me out of here! I don't want to go to jail, I really don't want to go to jail!"

"They said it would take me more than ten years, more than ten years!"

"Mom, how old am I? I can't let myself be ruined inside!"

Sun Mei's heart broke upon hearing this. No matter how strong or ruthless she usually was, she was just a mother in front of Shen Cong.

Her son, whom she raised with such care and indulgence, had never suffered like this before.

Sun Mei's tears streamed down her face: "Cong'er, don't be afraid, Mom will definitely find a way."

Shen Cong shook his head frantically, as if he were a madman: "You always say you'll find a way, but what about now?"

"Where's Dad? Why isn't he here? Has he abandoned me?"

"Is the Jianjun Group finished too? Have they all run away?"

Sun Mei's face stiffened; she dared not tell Shen Cong the truth.

Shen Jianjun is now lying in the hospital room, half-dead.

Jianjun Group is surrounded by creditors, banks are withdrawing loans, suppliers are blocking the gate, and the stock price is plummeting.

How could they possibly save Shen Cong?

But she couldn't say it; if she did, Shen Cong would completely collapse.

Sun Mei gritted her teeth, then suddenly lowered her voice: "Cong'er, listen to what your mother has to say."

Shen Cong immediately stared at her, and Sun Mei said, word by word, "All of this is Shen Ze's fault."

Shen Cong paused for a moment: "Shen Ze?"

"Yes, that's him!"

Sun Mei's eyes were filled with hatred, and her voice was low and venomous: "Zhao Wenxuan's affair was his doing."

"The land plot on Qingnian Road was also a trap he deliberately set."

"Your arrest was also due to him sending the evidence over."

"He just wants to ruin you, ruin your father, ruin the entire Shen family!"

Shen Cong's breathing quickened.

Sun Mei continued, "Think about it, how could it be such a coincidence?"

"You just lost money, and he got the evidence."

"Your dad just sold the Qingnian Road property, and the official planning for it came out right away."

"Zhao Wenxuan had just absconded with the money when he showed up at his birthday party."

"Cong'er, there are no such coincidences in this world! It's all Shen Ze's fault! He's come back to take revenge on us!"

Shen Cong's face twisted little by little; he already hated Shen Ze.

Since Shen Ze returned to Shanghai, he hasn't had a single good day.

Unexpectedly, even the evidence against him that went to jail was sent out by Shen Ze.

The more Shen Cong thought about it, the tighter his chest felt. He gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead: "Shen Ze... it's Shen Ze again..."

"What right does he have? He's a bastard who was kicked out, what right does he have to bully me at every turn?"

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Sun Mei quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Cong'er, calm down."

But Shen Cong wouldn't listen anymore. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was contorted with rage, making him look like a completely different person.

"He was here to harm me from the very beginning!"

"If it weren't for him, the Caesars Hotel would be mine! The Shen family's money would be mine! The land on Youth Road would be ours!"

"I won't be laughed at, I won't be lying here, and I certainly won't go to jail!"

"It's all his fault! I'm going to kill him! I absolutely have to kill him!"

The investigator next to him frowned: "Shen Cong, watch your words."

Shen Cong suddenly turned his head and roared like a madman, "Get out! All of you get out!"

"You've all been deceived by Shen Ze! He's the one who deserves to die!"

The investigators looked at Shen Cong, who was hysterical on the hospital bed, but their expressions remained unchanged.

One of the young investigators couldn't help but glance at the record in his hand, feeling utterly bewildered.

As a son of the Shen family, Shen Ze faced a group of cunning old foxes at his birthday banquet. He exposed the situation with just a few words, as steady as a knife.

And what about Shen Cong?

With the evidence laid bare, instead of reflecting on their own actions of hiring someone to commit violence, they shift all the blame onto others.

This is hardly the heir to a wealthy family; he's clearly a spoiled good-for-nothing.

Another investigator shook his head, saying that with such poor upbringing, it was no surprise that something bad happened.

Shen Cong continued to shout, his voice growing increasingly shrill, and his chest heaving more and more rapidly.

Sun Mei finally panicked: "Cong'er! Cong'er, don't scare your mother!"

Shen Cong's face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes rolled upwards.

The next second, he convulsed and passed out.

"doctor!"

The nurse immediately pressed the call button: "The patient has fainted, rush to the emergency room!"

Chaos erupted in the ward as doctors and nurses rushed in and quickly pushed Shen Cong away.

Sun Mei wanted to follow, but was stopped by the investigators.

"Family members are no longer allowed to stay. You have severely agitated the patient. Visiting is over."

Sun Mei screamed, "I'm his mother! Why won't you let me go?!"

The investigators said coldly, "Please cooperate."

Two medical staff pushed the hospital bed away quickly, and Shen Cong's hand hung limply by the bedside, swaying back and forth.

Sun Mei looked at that hand, feeling as if all her energy had been drained, and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

She no longer cared about her image, covering her face and wailing, "Shen Ze! It's all your fault!"

"Why don't you just die! Haven't you ruined the Shen family enough?"

"Youth Road is gone, 400 million is gone, the group's stock price has plummeted, and you've dragged Cong'er down with you!"

"You jinx! You're just here to collect debts!"

Everyone in the corridor was looking at her, but no one went to comfort her.

Sun Mei cried her heart out, but she never thought about how she had interfered in Shen Jianjun's family back then, or how she had driven Xu Ying and her son to their doom.

She forgot the humiliation Xu Ying suffered when she was kicked out of the Shen family, and she forgot the time Shen Ze endured the cold in the old building when he was a child.

Forgot that she had people overturn the mother and son's stall, made the landlord kick them out, and even after Xu Ying's death, she wouldn't let go of that tombstone.

She only felt sorry for herself and thought Shen Ze was vicious.

But what kind of retribution is there in this world without a reason?

You reap what you sow.
