A whirlwind marriage leads to doting affection; the husband pampers her every night.

As Shen Guoqiang sat blankly in his office, his assistant rushed in in a panic.

"Mr. Shen, something bad has happened. Shen's stock price has plummeted, and someone is deliberately buying up Shen's Group's shares. They have already acquired at least 40% of the shares."

"What!" Shen Guoqiang stood up, his heart pounding with pain from the shock, and he quickly clutched his chest. His assistant hurriedly supported him, "Are you alright, Mr. Shen? Should we go to the hospital?"

After enduring a bout of pain, Shen Guoqiang waved his hand, feeling a sense of powerless defeat.

A person who has worked hard and enjoyed glory for decades never expected to suffer such a big setback at his age.

Then someone rushed into the office, shouting in a panic, "President Shen, a lot of people have come downstairs, all here to demand money."

Shen Guoqiang eventually left the company directly from the underground parking garage, intending to lay low for a while; he hasn't been seeing anyone lately.

When they returned to the villa, Lu Jiao and Shen Ximan were both there. They had both seen the news, and it would be a lie to say they weren't worried. After all, if something happened to the Shen family, their good days would be over.

When the two men saw Shen Guoqiang suddenly return home, they went up to him and asked him a series of questions.

"Guoqiang, why are you back? Are you feeling unwell? You look terrible." Lu Jiao appeared concerned for Shen Guoqiang, but actually wanted to know how the Shen Group was doing. Just a few days ago, Shen Guoqiang had assured her that everything would be fine, saying that Shen Nian wouldn't abandon the Shen Group.

Shen Ximan wasn't so composed. She immediately exclaimed, "Dad, has something happened to the company? News of Lin's bankruptcy is flying around today. Will we be affected?"

Shen Guoqiang sat on the sofa and let out a heavy sigh.

"Sigh, things look grim, but don't worry, I've already left some money for Manman. Even if something happens to me and the company, it won't affect your lives."

Hearing him say that, Shen Ximan and Lu Jiao exchanged a glance, feeling much more relieved.

Lu Jiao walked over to Shen Guoqiang and said, "Guoqiang, what are you saying? We're a family facing this together, and we'll definitely get through this. I still have some jewelry; I'll sort it out and sell it later to help you out."

As he spoke, he winked at Shen Ximan.

Shen Ximan also chimed in, "Dad, I'll take out my own saved allowance, you can use it."

Shen Guoqiang looked at his wife and daughter and smiled with satisfaction.

"Just focus on living your own life with that Chu family kid. The Chu family will probably be affected to some extent this time. Keep an eye on Yunyi," Shen Guoqiang instructed Shen Ximan.

He had already made up his mind on his way back: at worst, he would go to jail, and he would leave all the money to his wife and children.

The family of three was talking when the maid came in and said that the police had arrived.

The three of them were stunned at the same time.

Shen Guoqiang thought they were coming to see him, so he stood up, somewhat puzzled. The matter hadn't even reached this point yet, so why were the police here?

As I walked into the villa's courtyard, I saw two policemen standing at the door.

Shen Guoqiang walked in front, with Lu Jiao and Shen Ximan following behind.

"Which one of you is Ms. Lu Jiao?" one of the police officers asked.

Shen Guoqiang turned to look at Lu Jiao, then back at the police officer, "What's wrong? What happened?"

He had assumed the police were looking for him, but it turned out they were looking for his wife.

Lu Jiao looked equally bewildered. "I'm Lu Jiao. Is there anything I can help you with?"

After identifying the person, the police said directly, "Please come with us. We need your cooperation in an investigation."

Lu Jiao was completely dumbfounded, and even Shen Guoqiang was stunned, staring blankly at Lu Jiao.

"You...you must have made a mistake. What kind of case requires the president's wife of the Shen Group to personally go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation?" Shen Guoqiang came to his senses and stopped the police.

Shen Ximan also jumped out, "You are not allowed to take my mother away!"

The two police officers immediately produced a document. "We cannot disclose the specific details of the case. This is a warrant for cooperation with the investigation. We would appreciate it if Mrs. Shen would come with us."

Lu Jiao was already somewhat suspicious and a little flustered, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Then he turned to Shen Guoqiang and Shen Ximan and said, "It's okay. Cooperating with the investigation is what we should do. I'll come back when it's over."

After Lu Jiao got into the police station's car and was taken away, Shen Guoqiang and Shen Ximan started making phone calls everywhere to inquire about the situation, but to no avail.

Not a single rumor or piece of information could be found.

Both of them were extremely anxious.

Lu Jiao was taken away for three days, and Shen Guoqiang and Shen Ximan tried to find someone to help her for three days, but they still couldn't see Lu Jiao.

While Shen Guoqiang was also dealing with company affairs, he not only looked incredibly old, but was also completely overwhelmed and clueless.

On the first day Lu Jiao was taken to the police station, the police arranged for her to meet with someone.

That person was Chen Tao.

Chen Tao had been imprisoned by Mo Ze for a period of time, and he seemed to be losing his mind.

Moze's men thoroughly investigated all of his criminal records and handed them over to the police on the day they took him to the police station.

One of the cases involved a murder that occurred 25 years ago.

Chen Tao confessed to all the crimes without reservation.

He also confessed to the murder, admitting that he committed it himself.

However, he could not provide a reasonable motive or details of the crime, only saying that it had been too long and he had forgotten.

The police didn't believe him and reopened the case, uncovering the relationship between Lu Jiao and Chen Tao. That's why they took Lu Jiao directly back to the police station.

The moment Lu Jiao saw Chen Tao, she panicked and lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

"Do you know him?"

When the police asked her, she hesitated for a second before immediately shaking her head in response.

"do not know."

When Chen Tao saw her again, his previously listless eyes lit up for a moment, but immediately dimmed again upon hearing Lu Jiao's answer, saying that he did not know Lu Jiao either.

After Chen Tao was taken away, the police began interrogating Lu Jiao.

When the police showed her photos of the murder case from twenty-five years ago, Lu Jiao's defenses crumbled.

Three days later, she confessed.

When Shen Guoqiang and Shen Ximan learned of this news, neither of them believed it.

Shen Guoqiang even boasted that he would find the best lawyer to help Lu Jiao with her lawsuit.

When the two of them went to see Lu Jiao together, he was still comforting her, "Don't worry, I've already found a lawyer to defend you, they must have made a mistake."

Knowing she couldn't get out, Lu Jiao said to Shen Guoqiang, "Guoqiang, let's just forget about this. You take good care of Manman. She's our only daughter, so please make sure she's well taken care of for me."

"Don't worry, Manman is my daughter. All my assets will be left to her. I'll make the will tomorrow," Shen Guoqiang immediately assured him.

The next day, he actually called a lawyer and drew up a will.

He left all his assets to Shen Ximan.

Shen Nian received nothing but the 20% stake in the Shen Group left to her by her mother.
