A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!

Shen Beiran wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a way to do so.

"It can't be that bad, can it?" Shen Beiran wasn't sure either.

As Shen Ming listened to the two arguing, his headache worsened.

"Shut up, or get out of here," Shen Ming said.

His square face looked terrible; he had lost the luster he had when he returned to China, and he looked much more haggard. Even in his hospital gown, you could see that he had lost a lot of weight.

Shen Zhinan and Shen Beiran remained silent, simply looking at him quietly.

“Those assets have already been notarized and cannot be retrieved. If you want them back, it’s only possible if Shi Yanxia voluntarily relinquishes them and gifts them to you,” Shen Ming said.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he looked at his two sons.

"A voluntary gift?" Shen Zhinan remained silent.

He was considering the feasibility, but right now he couldn't even see Shi Yanxia, ​​let alone get her to give up voluntarily.

"Although the Shen family's assets all belong to the Shen family, Shi Yanxia has never spent a single day in the Shen family. Much of these assets were earned by me and Shen Qinghong in the later stages."

"Plus, you were originally the president of Shen's Group. If you really want to take it back," Shen Ming said, his gaze becoming meaningful.

Shen Beiran had a bad feeling.

"Destroy her reputation and force her to voluntarily give up her assets," Shen Zhinan slowly uttered these words.

He seemed to have made up his mind.

"What do you say?" Shen Zhinan looked at him.

Shen Beiran chickened out; he turned his head away, not daring to meet Shen Zhinan's gaze.

"Should we reconsider this matter? Assuming she really is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, then isn't the Shen family's wealth rightfully hers?" Shen Beiran became less and less confident as he spoke.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Shen Ming and Shen Zhinan looked at him as if they wanted to kill him on the spot.

"You guys discuss it, I'm going back." Shen Beiran turned and left.

The ward felt too oppressive; he needed to go out for some fresh air.

Thinking of this, he slammed the door shut.

Inside the ward, Shen Zhinan seemed shrouded in a gloomy aura. His abdominal pain persisted; he had been too angry just now, and his wound felt like it was about to tear open.

“Dad.” Shen Zhinan sat down, holding onto the chair.

He looked at Shen Ming with a serious expression and said, "The Shen family's assets must not be returned to Shi Yanxia."

"Since you and Mom have worked so hard for the Shen family for so many years, even if you're not true members of the Shen family, you've lived in the Shen family for so long, and you've earned a share of the Shen family's assets. To just give it to Shi Yanxia so easily would be letting her off too easily."

"My whirlwind marriage with Qin Jiali was simply to infiltrate the Qin family and obtain their resources. Now that Qin Jiali is dead, we can go to the Qin family and pin her death on Shi Yanxia."

"We'll use the Qin family against Shi Yanxia. When she's suppressed, schemed against, and even hunted down by the Qin family, we'll appear to rescue her, then shift the blame and indirectly make her a murderer."

"You haven't given these Shen family assets to her yet, have you? As long as they haven't reached her hands, they're still ours." A glint of greed flashed in Shen Zhinan's eyes.

Life without money is too hard.

Previously, he wanted to please Shi Yanxia and curry favor with Zhan Jinglin.

I've only just realized it's completely useless.

"Ring!" Just then, his phone vibrated. Shen Ming stared at the phone for a long time before struggling to stretch out his aching arm, pick up the phone, and answer the call.

"What?" Shen Mingmeng sat up from the hospital bed.

His reaction was so strong that he almost strained his back.

Seeing his reaction, Shen Zhinan felt a sense of foreboding.

"When did this happen? Were all the data extracted and confirmed?"

"Impossible, I haven't gone through the procedures yet? I don't need to go through them?" Shen Ming's mind went blank, feeling as if his nerves were about to be torn apart.

Shen Ming gripped his phone tightly, trying to remain calm, and said, "Do I have a chance to back out now?"

“Okay, got it,” Shen Ming said.

He gripped his phone tightly, looking as if he had aged several years, and stared at Shen Zhinan.

"Dad, what happened?" Shen Zhinan asked hurriedly.

Shen Ming slumped back onto the hospital bed, panting heavily. After a while, he said, "It's no use. The assets I transferred to Shi Yanxia were withdrawn half an hour ago."

“Now that the property has been transferred to Shi Yanxia’s name, the procedures are complete, and the Zhan family is collecting and keeping the assets on Shi Yanxia’s behalf. We can’t interfere anymore,” Shen Ming said.

He didn't expect Shi Yanxia to act so quickly.

If they had been any slower, they might have been able to transfer all their assets away. They would have denied everything then, and even if the police had been notified, they would have only been arrested and investigated. They would have been able to transfer and launder their assets themselves.

It seems too late now.

"Why so suddenly? Isn't Shi Yanxia not interested in money? When she worked at Shen's before, they didn't even pay her a salary, but she still worked. Why did she suddenly turn on them so quickly?" Shen Zhinan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Based on his understanding of Shi Yanxia, ​​he knew she wouldn't rush to deal with these matters.

"Let me calm down," Shen Ming said dejectedly.

Shen Zhinan sat there for a long time before silently picking up his phone, making a call, and saying, "Is this the Qin residence? This is Shen Zhinan. Qin Huaiming is in trouble."

One sentence caused panic on the other end of the phone.

“Okay, I’ll be right there,” Shen Zhinan said.

After he stood up, he looked at Shen Ming intently and said, "Dad, help me kill Shi Yanxia."

Shen Ming's mouth moved slightly, and he felt a chill run down his spine and down to his feet. He could also vaguely hear someone laughing. He turned around but found nothing behind him.

"Could it be that Shi Yanxia has cast a curse on me?" Shen Ming murmured to himself.

****

Inside the Zhan residence, Shi Yanxia was sleeping soundly when she suddenly sneezed.

She yawned and woke up with a start. Lying in bed, she looked out the French windows and realized that it was already daylight outside.

She lay there lazily, looking at the sunlight outside the window, and only got up after a long time.

"Ring!" Just then, the phone vibrated.

She glanced at the incoming call and answered, "What's up?"

"Awake?" Zhan Jinglin's voice rang out.

Hearing the man's voice, Shi Yanxia stretched, got up, and walked barefoot to the French windows. She leaned against one and said, "I just woke up. Aren't you home?"

She subconsciously asked, "Aren't you home?" as if she had subconsciously come to regard Zhan's residence as her home.

Hearing her speak so intimately, the man on the other end of the phone was clearly in a great mood.

"Yes, I came out to take care of some things. I just had Gu Qing handle the assets that Shen Ming transferred to you. They've all been transferred to your name and accounted for."

"I've sent the list to your WeChat. I'll bring the original documents back later," Zhan Jinglin said.

Shi Yanxia's mind was still a little muddled. She raised her hand to rub her temples and said, "It's all taken care of so quickly?"
