The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Shen Yanran's statement on Weibo immediately resonated with many netizens.

Those nearly ten thousand malicious comments were quickly overwhelmed by a large number of well-intentioned comments.

Public opinion gradually shifted in Shen Yanran's favor.

Du Yuzhi, who had been closely monitoring online trends, was furious to see more and more people speaking in Shen Yanran's favor.

She and Shen Changtian had already made their point so clear. Anyone with a modicum of common sense would think that Shen Yanran was an extremely vicious and despicable woman. How could anyone still publicly defend her?

Are those people crazy?

Or have they all been bribed by Li Zhanting?

Shen Changtian gradually realized that something was wrong. The reason he did that live broadcast was to force Shen Yanran to lower herself and negotiate with him for money.

As long as Shen Yanran pays him the money and returns the company to him, he is willing to do another live stream to explain to everyone that it was all a misunderstanding and that he has forgiven his daughter.

But he never expected that things would develop to the point where Li Zhanting's company would publicly sue him.

They also threatened netizens who sided with them not to forward or comment on their posts, or they would be sued as well.

The more Shen Changtian looked at his phone, the angrier he became. Finally, he threw the phone down and questioned Du Yuzhi with a livid face, "Du Yuzhi, look at the terrible idea you came up with! Not only did we not get the money, but we also got ourselves into trouble. Now Shen Yanran is going to sue us. What do you suggest we do?"

Du Yuzhi was still pregnant and didn't dare to go against Shen Changtian, so she could only go along with his temper and say, "Husband, you can't blame me for this. Who knew Shen Yanran would be so ungrateful and insist on going against us? But it's okay, it's not like they can just sue us whenever they want. At least they don't have any evidence to prove that what we said is false."

Throughout their entire conversation, all the people mentioned were their own people; of course, they wouldn't be foolish enough to pick up a stone and kick their own foot.

Shen Changtian thought differently: "It's better to be safe than sorry. Is the man Shen Yanran married an ordinary person? They're rich and powerful, they can investigate whatever they want. Besides, have you forgotten that we just got out of prison not long ago? What if they expose that matter? How will we live in the future?"

Du Yuzhi shook her head and analyzed, "No, it's all in the past. Even if Shen Yanran wants to bring up old grievances, your father won't allow it. Shen Yanran is so filial, she will definitely listen to him."

Shen Changtian said with a troubled expression, "Do you think you can just say no and then not do it? If I had known things would turn out like this, I wouldn't have played along with your act. Not only did I not get a single penny, but I also lost a lot of money myself."

Du Yuzhi was even more heartbroken than Shen Changtian for the money she had invested. She had spent nearly a million yuan in total, and she thought she could get 10 billion yuan from Shen Yanran, but now it was all gone.

Just as the two were at their wits' end, someone knocked on the door.

Shen Changtian and Du Yuzhi were both startled, and after a long while, they asked, "Who is it?"

Could it be that Shen Yanran sent someone to seek revenge?

A woman's soft voice rang out from outside, "Room service, housekeeping."

Since being forcibly kicked out of the Shen family by Shen Yanran, the three of them have been staying in the cheapest hotel in the vicinity.

Cheng Liwen went out early in the morning, so she had no idea about their live stream.

Du Yuzhi glanced around and saw that it was indeed quite messy, so she opened the door and let the waiter come in to clean.

However, the moment the door opened, what appeared was not a room service staff member, but two men in suits and glasses.

"Hello Ms. Du Yuzhi, my name is Wei Hai, and I am Ms. Shen Yanran's legal representative. This is a court summons from our company regarding your and Mr. Shen Changtian's online livestream, which infringed upon my client's legal rights. Please keep this safe. We will be holding a hearing at the Supreme People's Court in Haicheng within three days. Please be present on time." Wei Hai, with a cold and handsome face, handed the indictment to the still-surprised Du Yuzhi.

It took Du Yuzhi a while to realize what was going on. She immediately threw the lawsuit in her hand to the ground, saying, "What nonsense is this? I'm not going to court. Don't try to scare me."

Wei Hai remained indifferent and said, "I'm just responsible for informing you. Whether you go or not is your right, but as a lawyer, I feel it's my responsibility to remind you that not appearing in court doesn't mean you're out of the woods. If the evidence is conclusive, you won't miss a single day of jail time."

jail?

Is it really that serious?

Du Yuzhi was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.

Shen Changtian, who was inside the house, listened intently to the man's words at the door, and his legs immediately began to tremble.

He still remembers how he felt when no one bullied him in prison; it was like living hell. If he were to go back in there again, he might really die.

After saying everything he needed to say, Wei Hai turned and left with his assistant.

Du Yuzhi turned to Shen Changtian with a blank expression. "Changtian, what should we do? That bitch Shen Yanran has really sued us. Should we find a lawyer first?"

"Finding a lawyer? You make it sound so easy. Do you think any lawyer would want to go against Li Zhanting's lawyer? In the end, it's all your fault!" Shen Changtian accused hysterically.

Du Yuzhi said with a wronged expression, "Changtian, what you said really breaks my heart. I did all this for your and our son's future. Besides, all the netizens were on our side at the beginning, you saw that."

Shen Changtian's eyes turned red with anxiety. "What's the point of saying all this now? The court summons has already been delivered. I'm definitely not going back to jail. The only option now is to run away. Give me the money right now!"

Du Yuzhi rolled her eyes and casually made up a story, saying, "The money... the money has all been deposited for interest, I have to go to the bank to withdraw it myself."

"Then why don't you hurry up and go? I'll call Mom and tell her to come back right away. Let's pack our things and go abroad to avoid this." This is the only solution Shen Changtian can think of right now.

Moreover, he owed so much money to loan sharks that he had no choice but to flee.

Du Yuzhi grabbed her most expensive bag and hurriedly ran downstairs.

Just then, Cheng Liwen returned from outside with a grim expression, and the two exchanged glances.

However, Du Yuzhi walked right past Cheng Liwen as if she hadn't seen her at all.

Cheng Liwen was already extremely angry about what she had heard outside and wanted to settle accounts with Du Yuzhi, but she didn't expect that after seeing her, Du Yuzhi would run away without even saying goodbye.

Just then, her phone rang; it was Shen Changtian calling.

While packing his things, Shen Changtian said urgently, "Mom, where are you? Hurry back to the hotel. Something's happened. We need to buy plane tickets and go abroad to hide."

Cheng Liwen immediately thought of their live stream, "I'm downstairs at the hotel, I'll come up right away."

When she arrived at their room and saw that Shen Changtian had already started packing, she was furious. How could her outstanding son make such a basic mistake?

"Changtian, what were you and Du Yuzhi thinking? How could you do live streaming? Don't you know that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public?"

Shen Changtian didn't want to listen to Cheng Liwen's nagging. "Mom, it's too late to say anything now. Shen Yanran has already sued us in court. Her lawyer just delivered the summons. We have to go out and hide as soon as possible. Yuzhi has already gone to withdraw the money. We'll buy plane tickets to Thailand when she comes back."

Cheng Liwen sighed deeply; there was nothing she could do now.

However, she and Shen Changtian waited and waited for more than two hours, and the bank was almost closing time, but Du Yuzhi still hadn't returned.

Cheng Liwen was getting impatient. "Changtian, quickly call Du Yuzhi and ask what's going on. Why isn't she back yet?"

Shen Changtian was also getting impatient. He had called her several times before but she didn't answer, thinking it was because of a bad bank signal. But now when he called again, her phone was completely switched off, which made him panic instantly.

Cheng Liwen noticed that Shen Changtian looked unwell and quickly asked, "What's wrong, Changtian?"

Shen Changtian looked at his phone and said blankly, "Her phone is off."

"Switched off? How could it be switched off? I'll call her!" Cheng Liwen suddenly became anxious, picked up her phone, and called Du Yuzhi.

It is indeed powered off.

Cheng Liwen seemed to suddenly realize something, and her whole body went blank for a moment. Could it be that Du Yuzhi had taken the money and run away?

No wonder I acted like I didn't see her when I saw her downstairs; it turns out she never intended to come back!

Cheng Liwen slapped her thigh, filled with regret, and said, "It's over, it's over! Du Yuzhi must have taken the money and run away. Call the police, son, call the police!"

Shen Changtian was somewhat incredulous, shaking his head repeatedly and saying, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Yuzhi would never do this to me. Her phone just ran out of battery, that's all."

Cheng Liwen smacked Shen Changtian on the head in exasperation, saying, "My silly son, how is it impossible? Don't you see what time it is? You should have gotten the money back by now. Listen to me, call the police!"

Shen Changtian picked up his phone with trembling hands and, unwilling to give up, dialed Du Yuzhi's number again, but it was still switched off.

He called again and again, until his phone battery died, but it was still the same...

Cheng Liwen couldn't stand it any longer and dialed 110 on her own phone.

The police responded immediately and, based on Cheng Liwen's statement, searched all the nearby banks. Finally, they found Du Yuzhi's image on the surveillance camera of an Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

She wasn't there to withdraw money; she was there to wait for someone.

In the footage, a young man appears in a bright red sports car and picks up Du Yuzhi. The two kiss as soon as they meet, indicating that their relationship is quite special.

The police copied the surveillance footage and showed it to Shen Changtian and Cheng Liwen to see if they recognized the young man.

When Shen Changtian saw his wife kissing a young man intimately, he instantly broke down!
