A bodyguard stared at the car Old Master Su was sitting in, his eyes widening in shock.
"Chairman, look at that license plate—six eights!" The bodyguard pointed at Old Master Su's car, his mouth hanging open.
Shen Mao's eyes widened.
Six eights—that meant his identity was absolutely, undeniably extraordinary.
"Chairman, I heard this license plate belongs to the Su Family," the bodyguard said. "Could that old man just now be the former chairman of Su Corporation, the previous head of the Su Family?"
Shen Mao froze.
He recalled the words the old man had spoken—competing with him for a grandson-in-law…
If that car really belonged to him, then wasn’t he Su Hua’s grandfather?
And the grandson-in-law he mentioned must be Lin Xuan.
Shen Mao suddenly felt like he wanted to die.
Just what kind of people had he provoked?
Now, there was no way he could even seek revenge for the beating he had suffered.
Exhausted, Shen Mao returned to the Shen Family residence. After changing his clothes, while the family doctor was applying medicine to his wounds, he received a call from the company.
"Chairman, it's bad—our company's stock price has plummeted."
Shen Mao clenched his fists.
He had barely managed to stabilize the stock decline, and now it was crashing again!
"Fine, I understand."
As soon as he hung up, another call came in from a company manager. "Chairman, it's terrible—our partner companies are calling to terminate their contracts with us."
Shen Mao's face turned pale.
They were all cutting ties.
Su Hua!
It had to be Su Hua!
She was retaliating against him for forcing Lin Xuan to marry Qianqian today!
A chill ran down Shen Mao’s spine.
If it really was Su Hua, then any resistance from him would be futile.
Not long after, another call came in.
The ringing of his phone made Shen Mao tremble.
He put the phone to his ear, hearing an urgent voice on the other end. "Chairman, it's bad—our products have been exposed for having major defects. Consumers are demanding refunds. What should we do now?"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Shen Mao roared in frustration before hanging up.
But it didn’t end there.
One urgent call after another rang out, the noise buzzing in Shen Mao’s head until he couldn’t take it anymore.
He turned off his phone.
Finally, the world was quiet.
Shen Mao slumped back in his chair, utterly drained.
Su Hua had truly gone all out this time.
The company was already in crisis, and now, it was on the verge of collapse.
His eyes were bloodshot.
This was the company his father had painstakingly built, the result of his own years of hard work—and now, it was all ruined.
Half an hour later.
The butler answered a call in the living room. After listening, his expression turned frantic.
He rushed upstairs and barged into the study without knocking.
"What is it?" Shen Mao asked in a low voice.
"Master, something has happened to the young miss," the butler said.
Now, any news about Shen Qianqian only filled Shen Mao with irritation.
If not for her, Shen Corporation could have continued thriving.
It was all her fault!
She had destroyed everything!
"Master," the butler reported, "the hospital just called. The young miss is attempting suicide. The doctors are asking you to come immediately."
"What? Suicide?"
Instead of panic, Shen Mao felt nothing but fury.
At a time like this, she still couldn’t behave herself!
Shen Mao hurried to the hospital and entered the ward.
Shen Qianqian’s eyes lit up as she grabbed his hand. "Dad, did you convince Lin Xuan to marry me?"
Shen Mao yanked his hand away.
"Dad, say something! I want to marry Lin Xuan—did you arrange it?" Shen Qianqian persisted.
With a loud smack, Shen Mao slapped her across the face.
"Lin Xuan this, Lin Xuan that!"
"Shen Qianqian, is that all you can think about?"
Shen Mao shouted in rage, "Do you have any idea how much damage you’ve done to the Shen Family and the company?"
"Su Hua won’t let us off! Neither the Shen Family nor Shen Corporation will survive this!"
"Everything—gone!"
Though mentally unstable, Shen Qianqian sensed the fury in her father’s tone and shrank back in fear.
Shen Mao pointed at her, his entire body trembling. "I regret ever having a daughter like you!"
He had spoiled her since the day she was born.
And now, she had become the curse that would bankrupt his company.
Shen Mao took a deep breath. "Stay here. If you dare try to kill yourself again, I won’t care even if you die!"
With that, he stormed out and returned to the Shen Family villa.
Shen Qianqian showed no reaction to the company’s downfall. She kept muttering to herself, "I want Lin Xuan. I’ll only marry him. No one can take him from me."
Suddenly, her emotions flared.
"Bitch! Su Hua, you fox spirit, how dare you steal Lin Xuan from me?!"
Shen Mao didn’t go to the company. Instead, he stayed in the villa, drowning himself in alcohol.
"Useless… It’s all useless. Even if I go, there’s nothing I can do," he slurred drunkenly. "Once Su Hua sets her sights on you, there’s no escape for Shen Corporation!"
"Any struggle is pointless."
Two days later.
Shen Corporation went bankrupt. Two police officers arrived at the Shen Family villa.
"Shen Mao, you concealed your daughter’s crime of coercing someone into suicide. You’re guilty of obstruction of justice. Come with us."
They escorted him away.
Though drunk, Shen Mao still retained some awareness—yet he didn’t resist.
He had already expected this.
Su Hua would never let him or Qianqian off. With her influence, no matter how well he had covered his tracks, she would uncover everything.
Going to prison was inevitable.
He just hadn’t expected it to happen so soon…
Shen Qianqian was also taken away by the police from the hospital.
Officers soon arrived at Zhang Li’s doorstep.
Seeing the uniformed police, her heart sank.
"Officers," Zhang Li forced a strained smile, "what’s this about?"
The police said coldly, "You conspired with Shen Qianqian to coerce someone into suicide. The evidence is conclusive."
"Take her away!"
Zhang Li staggered.
They had found out.
She had been right—that woman’s background was anything but ordinary. She must have gone after Shen Qianqian, and now Zhang Li was caught in the crossfire!
Pale-faced, Zhang Li allowed the police to handcuff her.
When she was brought to the station, she saw Shen Qianqian being escorted out of a police car.
Shen Qianqian, in a deranged state, screamed, "Let me go! How dare you arrest me? My father is the chairman of Shen Corporation!"
"And my fiancé is Lin Xuan—the owner of Tianmu Group!"
"If you touch me, my father and my fiancé will make you pay!"
