Mad Dog CEO and his beautiful assistant

Ever since Zhou Liwen's life story was revealed, Shen Qin looked back on the past and recalled the humbleness and timidity that seemed to be engraved in Zhou Liwen's bones, and she could suddenly empathize with him.

From his fragmented and in-depth self-examination, Shen Qin pieced together Zhou Liwen's life circumstances back then. At that time, he had not yet been publicly acknowledged by the Zhou family, and apart from his surname, he had no apparent connection to the Zhou family.

He lives with his mother, and the Zhou family pays him child support regularly. He rarely sees his biological father, and his mother dislikes him, considering him a burden yet expecting him to beg the Zhou family for money. Zhou Liwen clearly has a father and a mother, but he lives like an orphan.

Although Zhou's blood flowed through his veins, the Zhou family had a legitimate heir with a clean family background and a strong maternal family. He was a legitimate son who walked openly and honestly in the open. Zhou's father didn't value Zhou Liwen, the product of a momentary passion. Whether it was the mother's status due to the son or the son's status due to the mother, to Zhou's father, neither of them was valuable.

With neither his father nor his mother's love, Zhou Liwen's upbringing was anything but pleasant. Without the nurturing of family affection, even the cold, hard cash provided by his father was scant. Consequently, his mother often complained about the little money it cost to give birth to a son, and the family having to raise him. If she hadn't held onto a glimmer of hope for the future, Zhou Liwen would have long since ended up in an orphanage.

Parents are a child's greatest support. Those who possess their parental care may not cherish it, but those who lack it long for it. The most obvious characteristic of children without support is timidity, servility, and a deep-seated lack of the courage to stand up straight.

Zhou Liwen used to be like this. Even after going to college, he still couldn't get rid of that humble air in him. He didn't dare to raise his head when looking at people. This was completely different from Cang Yan's arrogant and domineering manner.

Although Cang Yan's mother died early and his father was a scumbag, he was the only heir to the Canglong Group. Just because of this, he could not lower his head wherever he went.

Thinking back to the past, Shen Qin felt a pang of sadness. He finally understood Zhou Liwen, or at least could empathize with his own difficulties.

Now, Zhou Liwen has been recognized by the Zhou family and has entered the Zhou enterprise, thanks to Zhou Tianci's crazy and suicidal behavior. Zhou Tianci is a typical rich and powerful playboy and prodigal son. He is not good at doing things, but specializes in crooked ways and has no respect for the law. He deserves to be punished!

Shen Qin had already seen his behavior and despised Zhou Tianci to the core. In comparison, Zhou Liwen looked like a decent person. It was all thanks to his peers that he stood out. With Zhou Tianci, a failed work, Zhou Liwen instantly became a virtuous young man.

Zhou Tianci had offended Cang Yan before, and was chased and blocked by Cang Yan in the mall and beaten up. This forced the head of the Zhou family to come and apologize to Cang Yan in person and said that he would definitely discipline Zhou Tianci strictly. Only then did Cang Yan agree to let the Zhou family go on the surface, but only on the surface.

Cang Yan's vengeance was astonishing, especially when it came to Shen Qin's safety. He was the kind of king who would fight for his beloved. If you touch my beauty, I'll destroy your entire empire. Therefore, Cang Yan never let go of his hatred, waiting for the opportunity to strike back at any time.

One thing leads to another. Cang Yan's attack on the Zhou family also played a major role in Zhou Liwen's return to his ancestral home. Indeed, Zhou Liwen had only recently emerged from obscurity, officially challenging Zhou Tianci. Father Zhou was probably truly worried that Tianci's misfortune would bring ruin to the Zhou family, and had no choice but to promote another account to a regular position.

Knowing Zhou Liwen's past and present, Shen Qin's invisible wall when interacting with others has lowered a bit, so Zhou Liwen can directly open this topic. Shen Qin's past is also a wound in her heart, and she doesn't want others to touch it easily.

"I once investigated your family's affairs." Zhou Liwen came straight to the point, yet spoke with an incomparable sincerity. "At first, I had been trying to find a chance to salvage our relationship, but you suddenly dropped out of school, and my hopes were cut short. Word of your family's affairs began to spread around the school, and I couldn't help but start secretly investigating."

"What did you find out?" Shen Qin's tone was unusually calm, but he was not indifferent in his heart. In fact, when the incident happened that year, he himself felt that something was wrong.

"I'm ashamed. My ability and authority are limited, and I can't conduct many in-depth investigations. I only raised a few doubts: "First, why is there such a fierce commotion over injured workers demanding compensation?

I heard that the workers climbed onto the roof of the office building. I have only seen migrant workers climbing stairs to demand their wages. That is an extreme act to get their hard-earned money back. However, workers' injuries are covered by insurance, so even if they demanded compensation, it would not have become such a fuss.

Even if he wanted money, there was no need to force your father to go upstairs. What a coincidence that your father went upstairs and fell down. What happened in between?

Shen Qin pondered, of course he had not ignored this doubt, but he glossed over it when his father woke up, saying only that he accidentally fell from the building while struggling with the workers. But was all this really just an accident?

"Secondly, I heard someone made an anonymous report, forcing your factory to shut down. Who was this whistleblower? Why didn't they report it earlier, instead of attacking you when your father was injured and you were desperate and helpless? The timing was so precise, is it really just a coincidence?"

That was a perfect quote. Shen Qin hadn't been able to find the whistleblower. If he did, he'd really like to ask what their motives were. What hatred or grudge had they chosen to add fuel to the fire at this very moment?

"Third, it's said that your company went bankrupt due to being unable to fulfill a huge order. I've investigated and found that you had invested in a new production line at the time, so you should have been able to fulfill the contract. If you had the ability to fulfill the contract, why was the other party so unwilling to make any concessions?"

Yes, the reason why their Shen family went bankrupt is not difficult to find out. If the other party had been a little more tolerant, they could have overcome the difficulties and regained a new life.

"To sum up, all of the above seem unrelated, but I always feel that there is an invisible hand behind the scenes pushing them forward, one after another, until your Shen family is forced into a dead end."

Zhou Liwen finished speaking, then he felt slightly disappointed. "I'm sorry, I was just voicing my doubts. I didn't mean to gossip about your family affairs. I'm sorry if it brought back sad memories for you."

Shen Qin waved her hands. The most heartbreaking time had long passed, and now Zhou Liwen was just discussing the matter at hand. In fact, had he ever ignored these suspicious points? But if there was a conspiracy behind this, where would he start?

Besides, his father's attitude was also very subtle. Mr. Shen knew the situation at that time best, but he insisted that it was an accident and did not want Shen Qin to waste his time and energy on irreversible things in the past.

Without the key figure, Father Shen, many mysteries are hidden in the thick fog and cannot be seen clearly.

Zhou Liwen's resurrection stirred Shen Qin's dormant thoughts, and his connection with Zhou Liwen grew closer. Could Cang Yan endure this? Soon, a fierce conflict brewed within the storm clouds, leading to thunder and lightning that finally erupted.
