No reconciliation, no forgiveness! Mr. Pei leaves with nothing.

Jiang Hua woke up after only a short while. Lying in bed, the room was filled with the familiar scent of bamboo. The familiar smell eased her unease. Then she heard a voice beside her. Looking out the French windows, she saw Shen Yebai, dressed in dark striped pajamas, talking on the phone. Her mind was foggy, and she couldn't quite make out what he was saying.

After Shen Yebai hung up the phone, put it down, and turned around, he saw that Jiang Hua had woken up. He sat down by her bedside and reached out to touch her forehead. "It's okay, the fever has gone down."

Just then, the door outside was opened, and Shen Bao'er called out anxiously, "Brother, come quickly, take this, it's so hot!"

Shen Yebai stood up and took the water glass from her hand. "Can't you bring the kettle up?"

"Oh dear, I forgot." Shen Bao'er punched her head with her fist. Bao'er was also wearing a cute blue pajama set with her hair disheveled. A plush doll was hanging on the front of the pajama set, which she used to hug to sleep.

“I remember there are still some medicines left from the last time I brought them from Uncle Jiang’s house. I’ll go get them now.”

"No need, just pack your things and go back to school."

Shen Bao'er's eyes darted around, and she quickly stepped forward and said confidently, "No, Huahua is sick and needs me to take care of her. I can't leave Huahua for even a moment. This is exactly the time when Huahua needs me."

Shen Yebai took out the fever reducer she had left unfinished from under the bedside table. "Huahua being sick is not a reason for you not to go to school."

"If you don't want to go, I can have a bodyguard take you back to school."

"No, no need! I'll pack up and go back to school now, I definitely won't bother you." Everyone could hear the threat in Shen Yebai's voice. She lowered her head and left the room, but suddenly poked her head out at the door. "Brother, Mom called yesterday, she wants you to make Huahua my sister-in-law as soon as possible."

"Get out." These two simple words didn't sound very intimidating.

"Oh." Shen Bao'er scratched Jiang Hua's hand again. "Huahua, I'm going to school now."

Jiang Hua sat on the edge of the bed, feeling completely drained. She nodded to her, though she actually wanted to tell her to be careful on the road.

After Bao'er left, Jiang Hua realized that the clothes she was wearing didn't belong to her. Shen Yebai explained to her, "You... were wearing too little, so I asked Bao'er to give you another one."

"Are you alright?" Shen Yebai subconsciously placed the white pill in his hand to her lips. Realizing his action, he paused for a moment and was about to withdraw his hand when Jiang Hua slightly opened her mouth. She did not refuse.

Jiang Hua swallowed the pill. The pill had a coating, so it wasn't bitter. But when it reached her throat, before the coating dissolved and stimulated the bitter taste, she immediately tasted the bitterness. Jiang Hua didn't even frown.

Afraid that it would burn her, Shen Yebai added cold boiled water to the cup and made her drink it.

"Did something happen?"

She would never dress like this, coming to see him before dawn.

When I opened the door and saw her, I was surprised and delighted, but also a little worried.

Jiang Hua slowly opened her palm, revealing a memory card. Shen Yebai was completely stunned; she had been holding it in her hand the whole time without him noticing. "Back then, there was no evidence to convict her."

"Now that I have evidence, can't I... arrest the murderer who killed my mother back then?"

Shen Yebai held her hand. "You need to rest now."

Jiang Hua shook her head. "Please... help me."

This was the first time Jiang Hua, who had always been so arrogant and ignorant, had ever heard Shen Yebai hear her soften her tone and ask him for a 'please'. She... was such a proud person.

Shen Yebai said, "You never need to ask me for anything. No matter what happens, I will always stand by your side."

As long as it was her business, Shen Yebai didn't delay at all. He handed over the memory card in Jiang Hua's hand to the Inspectorate. It wasn't exactly a special case, but the matter had a great impact, so it could only be investigated secretly. This also affected the people on the Wang family's side.

Will this affect you?

Shen Yebai reached out and stroked her hair, a faint smile curving his lips. "No."

"But this is the Wang family after all, and I'm afraid it will implicate you. I... I have no other choice. Besides you, I can't think of anyone else who can help me." Jiang Hua rarely showed such vulnerability and fragility in front of outsiders.

Ironically, it is precisely because of this that she is the most pitiful.

I will give you an answer.

Like the Shen family, the Wang family also came from the same compound. The Wang family's background is not something that anyone can shake. If Shen Yebai helps, it will only make things different. Back then, it was because there was no so-called evidence that they were able to hold shares in the Jiang family and bleed the Jiang family dry for so many years. If Jiang Hua only uses the power of the Jiang family, how easy is it? It's like an ant trying to shake a tree. The evidence she has now is Jiang Hua's only hope.

The restored video clearly shows that Jiang Qingcheng was indeed taken away by Jiang Tianlai's men back then, and she was extremely arrogant and domineering. The lawyer who drafted the share transfer agreement back then has long since disappeared after this incident.

Jiang Group.

Zuo Xiangnan pushed open the door to the president's office and urgently reported, "President Pei, something terrible has happened."

“An hour ago, the inspectors took Jiang Tianci and Jiang Tianlai away from the Wang family. They said it was related to a criminal case from years ago, and now the Wang family is coming to see Chairman Jiang.”

"It was Huahua who approached Shen Yebai and handed over this evidence to him."

She ultimately chose Shen Yebai.

"So what should we do now? Just wait and see? If that's the case, Jiang Weiguo will be dealt with by the Wang family without us even having to lift a finger."

Pei Zhan took a file folder from the drawer and placed it on the table. "Now that we've started, there's no reason to stop. Let's add fuel to the fire. Submit all the evidence of his illegal use of his position to seek benefits for the company over the years, including... all the evidence we've found, to the Inspectorate. And file a lawsuit in the name of the Jiang family."

As a result, these two are destined to spend the rest of their lives in jail.

“The Wang family has no shortage of political enemies. With the Jiang family leading the way, there are plenty of people secretly pushing things along.”

Zuo Xiangnan asked in confusion, "But I feel that Shen Yebai's actions suggest he wants to resolve this matter secretly."

"If we make such a big fuss, won't...?"

Pei Zhan: "We need to make a big fuss so that these things can be seen by people in higher positions and judged by them... Only then can a big tree like the Wang family be uprooted."

"What about Chairman Jiang..."

If left unattended, the Wang family will become tools in Pei Zhan's hands. Even without his intervention, he will use coercion to quell the matter, and the Wang family will not let Jiang Weiguo off so easily.

Jiang Weiguo is dead.

His affairs in the capital will also come to a complete end…

Shen Yebai had anticipated that the Wang family would make trouble for Jiang Weiguo. When the Wang family arrived at Yulong Bay, they were protected by people arranged by Shen Yebai. Shen Yebai's special status prevented him from showing himself, but resolving these matters was not too difficult for him.

Outside Yulong Bay, a large number of vehicles were parked, creating an imposing scene. However, they were guarded by troops who had been arranged in advance. Wang Yuehong, supporting the elderly Wang Jing, stood outside the gate and said, "You blind fools, you dare to stop anything. Let us in right now."

“I’m sorry, Ms. Wang, we are only here to protect the witnesses at someone’s request. With so many people here, it’s hard for me not to suspect that you’re here to cause trouble. Mr. Wang is getting on in years and should be enjoying his retirement at home. It’s not appropriate for him to be here at this time.”

The elderly man exuded a chilling aura left from the battlefield. Even though he was eroded by time and old age, he could not conceal his imposing dignity. Dressed in a clean and well-fitting Zhongshan suit, he could feel enough pressure with just a glance. "The last person to speak like that died right under my nose."

"I wouldn't dare. You are a hero, highly respected, and everyone shows you respect. But things are different now. Some things need to be dealt with, after all, this involves human lives, and some laws cannot be violated by anyone. Mr. Wang... what do you say? The Wang family has been rampant in the capital for so many years, keeping a low profile. Enough is enough."

The other person was just a low-ranking official, yet he spoke with such contempt. Wang Yuehong glared at him angrily, "Are you looking for death?"

"Get out of my way right now."

"Jiang Weiguo... are you sure you want to go against the Wang family?" Wang Yuehong raised her voice. Jiang Weiguo, who was in the study on the second floor, heard their voices.

Wang Qi reminded him from the side, "It should be someone arranged by Young Master Shen. Sir... don't worry, nothing will happen."

Jiang Weiguo was stroking an old, bronze-colored pocket watch in his hand. Inside the watch was a black and white photograph. The woman in the photograph was just like her name: stunningly beautiful, with exquisite features. When she smiled, everything else paled in comparison.

Jiang Weiguo seemed not to hear Wang Qi's voice, and instead muttered to himself, "Huahua is as beautiful as you, just like you."

And they have never let us down.

Wang Qi did not say anything more to remind him. Over the years, the master still puts the madam first, even the eldest daughter cannot compare to the position the madam holds in the master's heart.

The gentleman has always been deeply troubled by his wife's tragic death. Rather than saying he has never forgotten it, he has never forgotten it for a single day. If it were because of their newborn daughter who was rescued, the gentleman would probably have followed his wife to the afterlife on the day his wife passed away.

Jiang Weiguo closed his eyes, suppressing the deep sorrow in them, and said, "Let them in."

“I talked to them personally.”

Wang Qi: "Yes, sir."

Finally, Jiang Weiguo spoke up, and Wang Yuehong helped the elderly Wang Jing into the gate of Yulong Bay.

Jiang Weiguo had been waiting on the sofa for some time. Upon seeing the person who arrived, the emotions in his heart never ceased. The moment the two sat down, it felt like a lifetime had passed. They hadn't seen each other for nearly twenty years, and now, both were in their fifties, with Wang Yuehong practically on her deathbed. She cut to the chase, her voice icy, "Jiang Weiguo, name your terms. If you drop this lawsuit, starting tonight, the Wang family will give you another way out. As for what happened back then, I… apologize to you. My two sons were young and reckless, and if you have any conditions, the Wang family… will agree to anything you ask."

How can one ever repay the pain of losing a wife?

“My child was also harmed and left with a lifelong disability, unable to live like a normal person for the rest of his life. My Jiang family bloodline ends here. How have you... the face to ask me for forgiveness?”

Even though Jiang Weiguo's voice was calm, he couldn't calm his heart; the hatred in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Wang Yuehong bit her lip, hardening her heart, and said, "I'm willing. I'll give you half of the Wang family's assets in exchange for my two children's lives. As long as you hand over all the evidence you have, I'll give it all to you. Jiang Weiguo... I also advise you not to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. The Jiang family bloodline isn't just your daughter. Tianci and Tiantian have wives and children waiting for them to reunite. Jiang Weiguo... are you really going to be so heartless? Besides... we're still family!"

Jiang Weiguo shook his head. "Even now, you still refuse to admit your mistakes. Back then, Qingcheng's mother died with her eyes wide open because of you, and you have never shown the slightest remorse."

"They're utterly hopeless. The Wang family has only themselves to blame for ending up like this..."

Wang Yuehong: "Jiang Weiguo! According to seniority, you should also call me 'Mom'!"

Jiang Weiguo: "If you truly repent for what you did to Qingcheng back then, then go and repent at her grave! I cannot forgive you on behalf of my wife. Wang Yuehong... I said back then, retribution is inevitable, it's just not the right time yet."

“Your Wang family will inevitably fall from grace one day and pay the price for everything.”

Wang Jing: "Since we can't talk it out, let's see if the Wang family or your Jiang family will perish first!"

"let's go!"

Before leaving, Wang Yuehong left behind a document, which was a transfer agreement for half of the Wang family's assets. The amount on it was astonishing, far exceeding what the entire Jiang family, numbering in the dozens or hundreds, could match.

After watching them leave, Jiang Weiguo said, "This document will be handed over to the Inspectorate as one of the pieces of evidence."

"Yes, sir."

Even Old Master Wang himself has been mobilized; it seems the Wang family is truly at its last gasp this time.

As long as he could avenge his wife, Jiang Weiguo would die without regret.

But Huahua remains the only thing he can't let go of in his heart.

He would be a husband first and a father later; even if it meant death, he wanted to see Wang Luobai with his own eyes!

After all the vehicles left, the hatred that had been building up in his heart for years was released in an instant. Jiang Weiguo coughed up a mouthful of blood, clutched his heart which was throbbing with pain, and immediately fell into a coma.

However, Jiang Hua, who had rushed back, saw all of this from outside the door. "Dad!"

Jiang Hua ran over stiffly, clearly at a loss. If Shen Yebai hadn't caught her, Jiang Hua... might not have had the strength to get up again after falling down.

When the ambulance arrived, Jiang Hua didn't know how she got on it. She also didn't know why one of her slippers was missing when she got to the hospital. Her soles were blistered and she couldn't feel any pain. She stood numbly in front of the operating room with the operating lights on, as if she had lost her soul, her face completely bloodless.
