The Golden Crow Awards ceremony would be held on January 23rd. From four o’clock in the afternoon, there were stars walking the red carpet one after another. As a dark horse who was shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actor and Best Newcomer awards at the same time, Tao Mu was still a newcomer in the film industry, but the organizers of the Golden Crow Awards considered Tao Mu’s net worth and status, and decided to arrange Tao Mu’s red carpet line-up before and after the bigwigs——before Yan Sheng and after Zhou Yanqing.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

In addition, don’t know if it was the Lin family who made a statement, or the organizer deliberately stirring things up, they actually arranged Shen Yu’s red carpet line-up around this time as well. The organizer’s explanation was that everyone was from the same crew, so it was arranged that the actors would walk at the same time. This was also to promote “Black and White”.

This kind of explanation could only deceive children. Of course Tao Mu would not take it seriously. The several other big names also did not want to express their dissatisfaction with the organizer because of such trivial matters. So the red carpet arrangement was settled.

Knowing that Tao Mu had no female companion, female celebrities who knew Tao Mu have called in and offered themselves. However, Tao Mu had a big vinegar jar at home, and he didn’t want to provoke the vinegar jar from spilling, so Tao Mu had no choice but to decline the kindness of all the female stars, and continued to be beautiful alone on the red carpet.

For Liu Yao, Meng Qi, and old Mr. Song, who were family members of Tao Mu, this was also their first time encountering this kind of award ceremony, and they all felt that it was quite novel. They even imitated Tao Mu’s fans, and went to the merchandise area to buy a few Tao Mu light up signs, ready to join the fan group to cheer on Tao Mu when Tao Mu walked the red carpet.

As we all know, when celebrities walk the red carpet, fans and reporters would stand on both sides, one by one shouldering cameras and flash bulbs, excitedly screaming and jumping, but most of them were young and energetic, and most of them were girls. His Yao Dad and Xiao Qi Dad were two grown men, and old Mr. Song was an old man with old arms and legs. If they were really mixed in the crowd, they would definitely be particularly conspicuous.

“That’s what I want.” Liu Yao waved his hand and said carelessly: “It’s even better to have three spots of green leaves in a sea of red flowers. When others see this, they will know that our family is doing well. There is no need for you to go find some random biological parents.”

Recently, the irresponsible reports of Hong Kong media really made Liu Yao and the others disgusted. Although FlyNews Entertainment used the pretext of snatching advertisers to force many media to quit and even apologize publicly after FlyNews’ establishment of paper media distribution, the public opinion had already spread. After all, there were still some people who did not know the truth and believed the reports of these gossip media which brought a certain negative impact to Tao Mu’s image.

What bothered Liu Yao and the others the most was that the Shen family actually came knocking at the door because of some random and vague media reports, and said such things arrogantly. As if the Shen family had a throne to inherit so Tao Mu should be grateful that they could take the initiative to give Tao Mu a chance to recognize his family.

Completely forgetting that FlyNews.com, while unable to compare to the market value of the Shen Group, when it came to personal assets, Tao Mu, who had made a lot of money in the international financial market, was no worse than anyone in the Shen family.

Especially that Mrs. Shen and Shen Yan, who had done so many vicious things and had no regrets at all, yet dared to say such nonsense in front of Tao Mu. Sure enough, if it was not one’s own child, one didn’t know how to be distressed.

Therefore, during this Golden Crow Award ceremony, Liu Yao, Meng Qi and old Mr. Song insisted on supporting Tao Mu as fans, and also to support Tao Mu as well as to help him vent his anger. Tell everyone clearly that their Tao Mu didn’t care about the things of the Shen family, nor the people of the Shen family. Their family’s Tao Mu had his own family, and they were very good and supportive of him unconditionally.

Tao Mu could feel the sincere hearts of his two fathers and grandfather. But he didn’t dare to let his grandpa participate in fan support at such an advanced age. He was really afraid that his grandpa would be unsteady in his hands and feet, and he would be bumped by the crowd, and he was even more worried that his grandpa couldn’t stand the decibels when the fans screamed. What If it would cause a heart attack or something.

Grandpa was old, and these things have to be prevented.

“Don’t worry about this.” Liu Yao stretched out his hand and ruffled Tao Mu’s hair, and laughed loudly: “With the two of us accompanying Grandpa, are you still afraid of any accident?”

Liu Yaoda was a big man, who was called “Brother Yao” wherever he went, and the owner of a well-known bar chain in Beijing. Rounding up, he was also considered a middle-aged gentleman. For the first time in his life, he participated in this kind of fan support that only little girls from 14 to 20 years old would be keen to participate in.

But Brother Yao didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Not only was he not embarrassed, but he was also very eager to try the experience. Tao Mu’s light up sign also had a merchandise poster, all of which he brought over. And that merchandise poster was Tao Mu’s single-person merchandise poster for the movie “Black and White”, which was not available on the market at all. Don’t know where Liu Yao even got it from. He even specially asked the staff of FlyNews.com to photoshop it a bit and make Tao Mu look even more handsome and manly. As soon as he took it out, it immediately could cause a group of little girls to screech and salivate.

It was rare that both Liu Yao and old Mr. Song were so interested in something, Meng Qi also smiled and said to Tao Mu: “If you are really worried that Grandpa would be crowded, why don’t you communicate with the organizer and arrange for us to have a front row spot with a good view and without too many people. Just make sure we get to see you on the red carpet.”

Of course this was fine. But if this scene was filmed by the media, he was afraid it would make headlines again.

Li Xiaoheng, who hadn’t spoken much, looked at Tao Mu and asked subtly, “Can I, as a partner, accompany Uncle Yao, Uncle Qi, and Grandpa on the red carpet?”

Tao Mu: “…..”

The red carpet show of the Golden Crow Awards started at 4:00 pm and ended at 7:30 pm. The first to appear on the red carpet was always the little nobodies in the entertainment circle, or the male and female stars who have not been nominated for any awards, but were only invited by the brands and sponsors and simply came to the red carpet for the catwalk. The heavyweight superstars would have to wait until the prime-time debut two hours later.

Tao Mu’s red carpet time was scheduled for around six o’clock in the evening. However, the time for fans to guard the red carpet started at two o’clock in the afternoon. Even if Tao Mu could communicate with the organizer about the best positions on both sides of the red carpet, and he could also communicate with the organizer to let the family arrive at the position around four o’clock. But there were still two hours from the start of the red carpet show to Tao Mu’s appearance. Tao Mu was reluctant to let his Yao Dad, Xiao Qi Dad, and Grandpa Song stand for so long with the light up sign and poster.

Anyway, he had to communicate with the organizer, so the result after Tao Mu negotiated with the organizer turned out to be to let his Yao Dad, Xiao Qi Dad, and Grandpa Song accompany him on the red carpet.

This arrangement was really beyond the expectations of the several elders. Even Mr. Meng, who had a good understanding of the ways in the circle, was instantly stunned.

“This, is this alright?”

Liu Yao, who had been eagerly imagining how to hold the light up sign before immediately became shy. Sitting in front of the TV and watching celebrities walk the red carpet, and standing on either side of the red carpet holding up signs to encourage their family’s Xiao Mu, these actions were not as impactful as walking the red carpet in person. So much so that the nearly forty-year-old gentleman became shy and at a loss.

“We are not stars, walk what red carpet!”

“But you are my family.” Tao Mu explained with a smile: “If the artist asks, the family members can accompany them on the red carpet.”

“Don’t coax me. In general, even if a celebrity walks the red carpet with their family, it is a male celebrity with his wife and a female celebrity with her husband. How could a male celebrity walk the red carpet with two fathers and a grandfather.” Liu Yao was particularly straightforward in debunking Tao Mu’s explanation.

As the husband of a male star, Li Xiaoheng also looked at their boss Tao with special resentment. Because Tao Mu’s red carpet family line-up arranged by the organizer obviously had no place for him.

Tao Mu helplessly patted Li Xiaoheng’s shoulder as comfort. He wasn’t ready to come out publicly in front of the national media. Of course, Li Xiaoheng would not be invited to accompany him on the red carpet in the name of his family. Therefore, he could only let their boss Li be aggrieved as the man behind the successful man.

Li Xiaoheng could also understand Tao Mu’s risk aversion for career development. He wasn’t upset, just a little bit disappointed.

So in order to make up for this loss, Mr. Li shamelessly snatched the Tao Mu light up sign and cheering posters carefully prepared by Liu Yao, and also took a photo of it and posted it on FlyNews with the title “I wish my business partner a great success.”

Although he hadn’t come out publicly, the relationship between Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng was already a tacit secret in the industry. Even in the eyes of Tao Mu’s fans and melon-eating passers-by, the daily interaction between Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng, an inexorable partner in the international financial market, could touch the soft spots of some fans.

So not long after this FlyNews was released, it immediately attracted a crazy wave of sharing and comments from Tao Mu’s fans. There were also many Tao Mu’s face fans who skillfully right-clicked to save while screeching excitedly. Some fans even went to the official account of “Black and White” to ask where to buy the poster. Of course, more fans were more concerned about the release of “Black and White” in the mainland. Knowing that the mainland remake version had a different ending from the Hong Kong screening version, some netizens also asked what the difference between the two versions was.

Even the presence of the Golden Crow Award had reached a very high level in the mainland. At least netizens who follow Tao Mu know when this Golden Crow Awards ceremony will be held. There were even many mainland netizens who ran to the official account of the Golden Crow Awards to leave a comment, and enthusiastically asked where they could watch the broadcast of the Golden Crow Awards ceremony.

These netizens’ comments immediately attracted the attention of the organizers of the Golden Crow Awards.

In order to expand the influence of the Golden Crow Awards in the mainland, the organizer of the Golden Crow Awards, which had been cooperating with Hong Kong TV Station, took the lead in finding Tao Mu, and offered to cooperate with FlyNews.com and authorize FlyNews Entertainment to conduct live broadcast of this Golden Crow Awards.

Though it was called a live broadcast, in order to ensure that the program did not have any mishap, the entire live broadcast process needed to be delayed for five minutes. Some content must also be cut. For example, when an artist who had been banned in the mainland walked the red carpet, it must not be broadcast. In addition, if some guests make inappropriate remarks at the awards ceremony, FlyNews.com would also delete them.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

FlyNews.com was popular and professional, and its reputation as being strongly supported by mainland officials had already spread throughout the entertainment industry. Although the organizers of the Golden Crow Awards felt that FlyNews.com’s requests were a bit of a fuss, they did not object. They just complained about it behind their backs that the media from the mainland was really difficult and rigid. They only kneel and lick the officials, don’t know how they managed to become so big.

However, this complaint disappeared immediately after seeing the views of the live video of the Golden Crow Awards ceremony.

Shen Chen looked unblinkingly at Tao Mu and said, “Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Tao. I don’t suspect that Mr. Tao and Zhuo Yan will join forces against the Shen Group. I just think that Zhuo Yan is too scheming, has a strong purpose in whatever he does, and has ulterior motives. He concealed his identity and entered the Shen Group, and secretly did such actions behind our backs that could cause misunderstanding. It is likely that he wants to incite disharmony and alienate our relationship.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

In the final analysis, Shen Chen still suspected that Zhuo Yan was trying to conspire to get close to the Shen family by concealing his identity and his strength. As for why Zhuo Yan helped Tao Mu to smooth out the clues about his birth background, Shen Chen guessed that if Zhuo Yan really wanted to take revenge on the Shen family, he definitely wouldn’t want the Shen family to find a foreign aid with capital and means like Tao Mu. As for why Zhuo Yan found Shen Yu’s biological mother before Shen Yan and learned that Shen Yu’s biological mother abandoned the real second son of the Shen family in the rental house, this was actually quite understandable.

Zhuo Yan was Shen Yan’s boyfriend, and he was entrusted by Shen Yan to find Shen Yu’s biological mother, so he could naturally mobilize the resources in Shen Yan’s hands. He was smart and capable, and it was normal for him to be able to detect some clues in advance. And once the identity of Shen Yu’s biological mother was determined, it would be easier for a family like them to investigate the past experience of Shen Yu’s biological mother.

It was not surprising that Zhuo Yan could do all this. It was just that Zhuo Yan didn’t take Shen Yan seriously, and he didn’t do everything perfectly when sweeping up his traces. He didn’t expect that Shen Chen, who had always been indifferent to the Shen family’s women and just adopted a passive attitude, would put spies beside Shen Yan. Therefore, Zhuo Yan’s unsophisticated actions were all exposed to Shen Chen’s eyes. It was just that Shen Chen was also very curious about what Zhuo Yan wanted to do after he schemed to enter the Shen Group, so he stayed unmoving and bided his time. And even using the pretext of Zhuo Yan’s excellent ability, he directly transferred him to the marketing department of the Shen Group as department manager. On the one hand, he wanted to use Zhuo Yan’s ability to create profit for the Shen Group, and on the other hand, he could place him where he could see him.

Shen Chen believed that no matter what Zhuo Yan wanted to do, in order to win his trust and respect, he must make some achievements to win the recognition of the whole group. He had to admit that Zhuo Yan still had some abilities. Therefore, making the best use of people was also one of Shen Chen’s responsibilities as the CEO of the Shen Group.

It was just that with Shen Chen’s scheming and shrewdness, and the various flaws that Zhuo Yan had exposed so far, Shen Chen was destined to be unable to “employ people without doubt”.

As for why Shen Chen mentioned Zhuo Yan to Tao Mu during the conversation, on the one hand, it was to warn Tao Mu that Zhuo Yan was not credible. If Tao Mu really wanted to avoid the Shen family, he must not do anything misleading. So as not to harm the already shallow relationship. On the other hand, it was also to test Tao Mu. After all, Zhuo Yan’s wealth also came from shorting the international financial market. It overlapped too much with the investment trajectory of Xiaoheng Capital. Shen Chen inevitably suspected that Tao Mu had joined forces with Zhuo Yan, and the purpose was to take over the Shen Group.

Tao Mu thought to himself that he had no relationship to speak of with the Shen family. But he had to take Shen Chen’s words to heart. Different from Shen Chen’s guess, Tao Mu was worried that Zhuo Yan was also reborn. Tao Mu didn’t forget how in his last life, he rectified Zhuo Yan to the point of bankruptcy and imprisonment, and even made it so that the other became a eunuch. If Zhuo Yan was really reborn like him, he would definitely try to get revenge on him.

As for whether Zhuo Yan also knew his birth background in his previous life, and deliberately approached him just to get revenge by approaching the Shen family through him, Tao Mu didn’t even bother to think about it. In essence, Tao Mu and the Shen family were actually cold-hearted people. They only care about the people and things they care about. In addition, no matter what outsiders did, it was difficult to affect his emotions.

Tao Mu believed that his entanglement with Zhuo Yan had already ended in his previous life. Therefore, Tao Mu didn’t care about the sincerity or falsehood of Zhuo Yan. It didn’t matter whether Zhuo Yan really liked him back then, or he was just putting on a mask, by now, Tao Mu’s only feelings left for Zhuo Yan was wariness. Having lived with Zhuo Yan for seven years, he naturally knew that Zhuo Yan had a strong vengeful streak. Being stared at by such a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity, Tao Mu could not help but feel goosebumps. So the first thing he did when he got back to the hotel was to discuss with his Yao Dad, Xiao Qi Dad and Li Xiaoheng on how to investigate and guard against Zhuo Yan.

Lest the family was worried, Tao Mu did not mention that he suspected that Zhuo Yan was reborn. He just repeated what Shen Chen said, and then said: “Zhuo Yan concealed his identity and approached the Shen family, and he must have intentions of revenge. I originally didn’t want to pay attention to his old grudges with the Shen family. But now, after Zhuo Yan did those things inexplicably, I’m worried he’ll target me. So it’s better to keep an eye on him just in case.”

According to the clues provided by Shen Chen, Tao Mu also wanted to investigate Zhuo Yan’s specific operations in the international financial market. Tao Mu wanted to use this to judge whether Zhuo Yan was reborn, but he certainly couldn’t say that in front of his family. Fortunately, Li Xiaoheng was very understanding and didn’t mean to get to the bottom of the matter and agreed directly.

With the influence of Xiaoheng Capital in the international financial market, if one wanted to investigate the operation trend of a domestic individual investor in the international market, it was simply an easy task. In almost less than a day, all Zhuo Yan’s operations in the international financial market were thoroughly investigated. Then Tao Mu was stunned to discover that the reason why Zhuo Yan was able to win a big victory in the international financial market was actually because he followed the capital trend of Xiaoheng Capital——

Just like the financial turmoil that occurred in Asia in 1997, since the economic crisis in 2008 swept the world, Xiaoheng Capital emerged in the international futures market and international financial market with a powerful shorting position. Many financial institutions and international investment banks also followed Xiaoheng Capital and aggressively shorted the world. Some individual investors and speculators saw profits, and they all followed the big players in a swarm. In order to create a better bearish market, the international big shorts headed by Xiaoheng Capital did not oppose this kind of behavior. In fact, they even intentionally incentivized individual investors and small investors to follow suit.

Zhuo Yan was one of them. It was just that unlike many individual investors who were superstitious about Wall Street authority, Zhuo Yan only stared at Xiaoheng Capital. He often bought stock or futures after Xiaoheng Capital bought it, and then sold it after Xiaoheng Capital sold it. Because Xiaoheng Capital had Tao Mu, a reborn person, to give accurate data, the benefits were maximized every time. Zhuo Yan followed closely and although he could not maximize his profits, he could still make a lot of money. In one year, he had earned nearly 30 million US dollars.

Li Xiaoheng also investigated that Zhuo Yan followed Xiaoheng Capital for the first time to invest at the end of December 2008. Just after the news spread that Xiaoheng Capital shorted international crude oil and filled positions at the lowest point. At that time, Xiaoheng Capital’s precise operation shocked the whole world, and the always low-key Li Xiaoheng even accepted an interview with The Wall Street Times. A Chinese person could achieve such an achievement on Wall Street, and this Chinese person was also the son of the Li family. At that time, the domestic financial sections and social sections also reported this incident one after another. Some media even quoted words such as “national hero” and “glory for the country” when reporting. Xiaoheng Capital also received invitations from many domestic companies and wealthy businessmen to open accounts at that time. Even other financial institutions and investment banks have followed suit in their investment activities.

Therefore, if Zhuo Yan’s investment operation was only judged from this aspect, there was nothing too out of the ordinary. It could only be said that he was a very smart and clever person. It was worth mentioning that the principal of Zhuo Yan’s investment and operation in the international financial market actually came from misappropriating the funds of the clients of the financial institution he was working in at that time.

Not quite believing the information given by Shen Chen, Li Xiaoheng also had people investigate all Zhuo Yan’s operations before and after entering the Shen Group. Among them, Zhuo Yan found Shen Yu’s biological mother in advance, but deliberately concealed it. Later, after Shen Yan discovered Shen Yu’s biological mother, he offered to talk to Shen Yu’s biological mother.

“…..No wonder Shen Yu’s biological mother concealed the rental house during the interview. It turns out that when Zhuo Yan was talking to Shen Yu’s biological mother, he deliberately mentioned the crime of abandonment and that the Shen family would definitely take revenge on Shen Yu’s birth mother.” Assistant Jiang reported the investigation results to the two bosses and couldn’t help but sigh.

Of course, Zhuo Yan did not directly threaten during the conversation, but made insinuations to let Shen Yu’s biological mother realize for herself. If the Shen family learned that she had taken the second son of the Shen family away, and then failed to raise him carefully but instead gave him up in less than two months. Leaving the baby in the rental house without care, resulting in the consequences of the baby’s tragic death.

It had been nineteen years since the matter happened, and it was already too late to regret it. What’s more, Shen Yu’s biological mother also didn’t want to stand forward and mention what happened back then. It was Shen Yan who forced her to stand forward. Just such a move was already so domineering and arrogant, if the Shen family knew how the second son of Shen died, Shen Yu’s biological mother felt that she must have no way to survive. Most importantly, Shen Yu, who was still living in the Shen family, would also be hated.

In a panic, Shen Yu’s biological mother subconsciously chose to lie. But she did not expect that her luck would be so bad that she would be recognized by netizens.

According to these investigation data, Zhuo Yan did not seem to be reborn. Tao Mu frowned slightly and turned over all the investigation materials. For a while, it was difficult to determine what was the situation with Zhuo Yan.

Either Zhuo Yan was not reborn, or Zhuo Yan hid himself too deeply.

But here was the problem. When Tao Mu was reborn back then, he never thought that there would be a second reborn person in this world. If Zhuo Yan was really reborn, why did he hide himself so deeply after rebirth?

Thinking of this, Tao Mu became more and more uneasy.

Seeing Tao Mu’s frown, Li Xiaoheng couldn’t help but stretched out his hand and squeezed Tao Mu’s palm, and comforted him warmly, “Don’t worry. No matter what purpose this Zhuo Yan has, we have noticed it now. I will send people to watch his every move.”

Li Xiaoheng was confident that under his nose, no matter who Zhuo Yan was, no matter what kind of monster or demon, he wouldn’t even have the chance to stir up any trouble.

At this moment, after listening to Assistant Jiang’s report, old Mr. Song, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly remarked: “This is probably the disadvantage of not chasing stars.”

“If this lady paid attention to the entertainment industry, she would know Xiao Mu’s orphan status and past experiences.” If she knew all this, the lady would probably make the same connections as all the people who eat melons on the Internet, and it was estimated that she would not tell such a lie.

“That’s why there is an old saying that only when knowledge needs to be used do you realize how lacking you are of it. No matter what age you are, it is very beneficial to learn more and gain more practical knowledge.”

In the hotel room, the group of people heard the old man’s inexplicable remark and looked at each other.

Only Tao Mu knew that old Mr. Song was worried that he was too busy with work and neglected his study, so he brought up this matter now.

Although old Mr. Song was a cook, he was also considered to be from an old literati family, and he also attended a private school back then. For so many years, he still insisted on reading, reading newspapers and practicing calligraphy. In his opinion, at Tao Mu’s age, everything else was fine, only progress in studying must not be put down.

Tao Mu said with a smile: “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I also read the news every day as well as read information. I always pay attention to the international situation, as well as domestic military reports.” The previous was of course for Xiaoheng Capital, and the latter was preparations for a new film work.

Old Mr. Song smiled slightly when he saw Tao Mu’s endearing behavior. Regardless of whether Tao Mu was a child of the Shen family or not, old Mr. Song did not want Tao Mu to have anything to do with the Shen family. It was not that he was afraid that Tao Mu would become estranged from them after recognizing his biological parents. Old Mr. Song just felt that the environment of the Shen family was not suitable for raising children. This could be seen from the arrogant and domineering behavior of Shen Yan and Shen Yu.

Old Mr. Song felt that there was something wrong with the education method of the Shen family. Moreover, between Shen Shiyuan and his wife, one was greedy and short-sighted, while the other was confused and muddleheaded. The remaining elder brother of the Shen family looked like a normal person, but he was too cold and selfish, and from his current position as the eldest son of the Shen family, he was also afraid that this person might not welcome the second son of the Shen family.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

So old Mr. Song felt really relieved, fortunately Tao Mu’s DNA didn’t match the Shen family. Although old Mr. Song also hated Shen Yu’s behavior. In this matter, the old man still appreciated Shen Yu’s decisive actions. So, old Mr. Song, who especially appreciated Shen Yu, immediately urged Lawyer Zhou to send a lawyer’s letter to Shen Yu quickly.

This was called reciprocating politeness with politeness.

So, on the night of the Golden Crow Award ceremony, Shen Yu received the long-awaited lawyer’s letter again.

Along with the news that the Shen family flew to Hong Kong to recognize their son, but were stopped at the airport by Shen Yu with the DNA identification report spread, a video of Mrs. Shen raising her hand and slapping Shen Yu’s face also came out. Overnight, news reports that someone directed and acted out a play by themselves, leading the public to speculate that he was the second son of the Shen family, filled the Hong Kong gossip tabloids.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

This kind of grabbing on a little bit of suspected black material, and the gesture of guiding the public opinion to slander people on the entire Internet was inexplicably familiar, and Tao Mu could guess who was behind this with just his knees.

“I don’t understand, just how did our CEO Tao offend him. Why does that Shen Yu always have to make trouble for our CEO Tao?”

Looking at the various cryptic speculation reports in the major entertainment weekly magazines, Assistant Jiang really couldn’t understand. He complained to the two expatriate reporters from FlyNews.com in Hong Kong: “Why can’t that surnamed Shen just leave others alone. If he doesn’t bind Mr. Tao to him, he will have no traffic, is that it?”

The point was that those entertainment weekly magazines have also learned to be smart. When writing the report, Tao Mu’s name was not mentioned at all. They just used “a celebrity surnamed T” instead. There were so many people in China, and there were many celebrities in the entertainment circle. They did not refer to Tao Mu by name so even of FlyNews.com and Xiaoheng Capital wanted to pursue the matter, they would not be successful.

As a result, the employees of the two companies could only watch those reports and suppress their anger, unable to find a good solution for a while.

Lawyer Zhou, who rushed over from Beijing, ate the last bite of shark fin fish, and said casually while wiping his mouth: “What’s so hard about this? Why do those gossip magazines like to expose the black material of stars? Isn’t it to attract people’s eyeballs and make sales. And what do they make sales for?”

Assistant Jiang and the two expatriate reporters looked at each other.

Lawyer Zhou didn’t beat around the bush, and as he went to bring a plate of fruit as dessert he continued to explain: “Isn’t it because the data will be more attractive when discussing advertising costs!”

“Xiaoheng Capital has acquired so many companies in Hong Kong. How are the connections and strength of these companies in the business circle of Hong Kong? Have they advertised in major weekly magazines? Or have their partners and suppliers advertised in these newspapers?”

“Although the Lin family is an old and affluent family in Hong Kong, they can’t cover the sky with one hand. Everyone comes out to work to support the family. Anything is agreeable if you make money. But if you don’t make money, or even lose money, no one will care even if you are the king of heaven, am I right?”

Assistant Jiang suddenly realized, and immediately said, “I’ll contact the companies below.”

Lawyer Zhou thought for a while, and then added: “Don’t be too obvious, so as not to leave a source for those gossip magazines to talk nonsense. I remember that FlyNews Entertainment is also very popular in Hong Kong? Why don’t we also do a paper media distribution in Hong Kong as well? At that time, FlyNews.com’s team in Hong Kong can come forward to discuss the specific matters of advertising cooperation with those companies, and it will be a good pretext to make trouble.”

The most important thing was that FlyNews.com’s branch office in Hong Kong could make some extra money.

When Lawyer Zhou spoke to here, he suddenly stopped.

Assistant Jiang and FlyNews.com’s expatriate reporters thought Zhou Shenxing was pondering over something important. Only to see Lawyer Zhou reluctantly push the half plate of fruit he just served himself in front of Assistant Jiang and the two expatriate reporters: “Help me eat it.”

Assistant Jiang and the two expatriate reporters were immediately dumbfounded, and looked over with the expression “Are you ill?”

Lawyer Zhou was also exasperated: “Hurry up. I can’t eat anymore.”

“Then don’t eat it!” Assistant Jiang always felt that the chief lawyer of FlyNews.com was a fine fellow in everything, but for the fact that he was too stingy. Every time he had to treat others to a meal, it was like they were forcing a good woman to be a prostitute. But the most important point was that every time it was a subsidized meal. Either the cafeteria at the headquarters of FlyNews.com or the free buffet at the hotel on business trips. Yet he still dared to call it “eating the richest ingredients with the least money”. What’s even worse was that every time he couldn’t finish the meal, he insisted on forcing his colleagues to help him finish.

“There are regulations for eating buffets, and if you don’t finish eating, you will be fined.” Lawyer Zhou knocked on the plate with a righteous face, and said with a high-sounding tone: “Besides, even if the restaurant doesn’t fine you, there is no need to waste such delicious food, am I right?”

Assistant Jiang and the two expatriate reporters rolled their eyes in unison. Yet they still stretched out their hands to help Zhou Shenxing finish the remaining half plate of fruit.

Because they mentioned the issue of FlyNews Entertainment’s print media during the conversation, the two expatriate reporters obviously did not have the right to act arbitrarily. Only according to the content of everyone’s discussion, they must first make a project plan, and then report it upwards, superior by superior. Fortunately, FlyNews’s work efficiency had always been fast. And this plan was also related to Mr. Tao’s image and reputation. In less than half a day, Meng Qi, who was far away in Beijing, saw the plan.

Mr. Meng, who was still debating whether to go to Hong Kong to visit Tao Mu’s film set, immediately put aside his concerns and asked his secretary to book three plane tickets under the guise of a business trip to inspect a new project.

Old man Song and Liu Yao, who were also unable to sit still at home, received the call and immediately packed up and rushed to the airport. That night, the family of three flew to Hong Kong. Alongside were also the main creative team of FlyNews Entertainment.

At that time, Tao Mu was sitting in the quiet bar downstairs in the hotel, meeting Shen Chen alone.

“I wonder what is the reason Mr. Shen asked me out for a meeting alone?”

Looking at Shen Chen’s face that was 70% similar to his own, Tao Mu’s mood was a little gloomy for a while. Unlike the rest of the Shen family, Tao Mu’s perception of Shen Chen was very complicated. He once thought that Shen Chen should be the best and most considerate of all the people in the Shen family, and also the least prejudiced person. It could be said that without Shen Chen’s careful teaching, Tao Mu would never have achieved today’s success even if he was reborn. It was precisely because of this that in his previous life, Tao Mu, until his death, felt that he and Shen Chen were able to be real brothers.

It was a pity that after being reborn, Tao Mu recalled his past experiences bit by bit, and suddenly realized that he and Shen Chen didn’t seem to be as harmonious and tacit as he imagined.

What kind of feelings did Shen Chen have towards him? Did he seriously think that Tao Mu was a worthy and trustworthy younger brother; or, as those people said, just treated him as a competitor for inheritance?

Shen Chen’s thoughts were too deep and hidden, even the family members whom he saw day and night couldn’t figure out his thoughts. Not to mention Tao Mu, the younger brother who appeared halfway through.

Some things that have become the past remain in the past. Forcefully asking for an answer might not yield a desirable result. Tao Mu wanted to let go of everything in his previous life. It didn’t matter whether Shen Chen treated him as his own younger brother or as a competitor. As long as the Shen family didn’t pester him in this life, everything was fine.

“You indeed know your own birth background.”

Just when Tao Mu was pondering and lost in thought, Shen Chen’s words scared him back to his senses and he immediately gathered his attention: “Hic?”

Shen Chen: “…..”

Tao Mu, who accidentally hiccupped, coughed twice and smiled apologetically, “Sorry, I was a little distracted just now. What did Mr. Shen say?”

Shen Chen stared coldly at Tao Mu’s standard to the point where he showed a smile with eight teeth. His sitting posture was upright and relaxed, only lowering his head slightly to take a sip of coffee, and his dark and clear eyes were full of sincerity. It seemed that just now was really just a distraction instead of being frightened.

As expected of an actor who had been praised for his acting skills, his performance was impeccable in an instant.

Shen Chen hooked up the corners of his mouth indiscernibly, and folded his hands on his knees. His deep eyes looked directly at Tao Mu, politely but still with a trace of aggressiveness: “I want to ask, what does Mr. Tao think of the rumors that you are the second son of the Shen family?”

“Simply ridiculous.” Tao Mu raised his eyebrows and said without hesitation, “I absolutely cannot be part of the Shen family. I have nothing to do with the Shen family.”

When Tao Mu said this, he emphasized again: “I am already twenty years old. I have my own legal family. I am very satisfied with my current life. I know that the Shen family had been in upheaval recently because of the search for their lost son. There was a lot of uproar. But I hope your family affairs don’t involve an outsider like me. And as for your Shen family’s adopted son, if possible, I ask your Shen family to educate him well. Don’t always talk nonsense and do inexplicable things. Like this time when he stole my hair for DNA testing. Although I am very happy, his approach saved us some trouble. But I have to remind Mr. Shen that this approach is illegal. So expect the lawyer’s letter to arrive soon.”

Shen Chen chuckled and said, “It can be seen that Mr. Tao has a deep grudge against the Shen family. I am deeply sorry for the unpleasantness that happened before. But I hope Mr. Tao understands that no matter what Shen Yu does, the Shen family does not want to have a bad relationship with Mr. Tao. On the contrary, our Shen family has a lot of sincerity to make friends with Mr. Tao.”

Tao Mu said lightly, “Some things are about having affinity. Probably I don’t have an affinity with the Shen family. It’s not necessary to make friends. As long as the Shen family controls your adopted son, everyone can just exist separately and mind our own business.”

Shen Chen raised his eyebrows. After pondering for a while, he nodded and said, “I promise you. I will try my best to restrain Shen Yu, and I won’t let him bother you again. But Mr. Tao must also promise me one thing.”

Tao Mu looked at Shen Chen: “What is it?”

“Remember what you said. You and the Shen family will exist separately and mind our own business.” Shen Chen stared into Tao Mu’s eyes and said deeply.

Tao Mu and Shen Chen looked at each other. For a moment, Tao Mu’s heart skipped a beat. In a trance, the two brothers who possessed a tact mutual understanding of each other reached an agreement: “Deal.”

Hearing Tao Mu say this word, Shen Chen, who had a proper and decent smile fixed on his face as if he had on a mask, was suddenly startled. The curvature of his lips slowly converged. This CEO, who had been taking over the business of the group since he was sixteen years old, and who had never made a mistake over these many years, looked at Tao Mu who was sitting across from him with a complicated expression, as if a big stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground: “Sure enough, you know your birth background.”

Tao Mu’s heart sank. He recalled his own words and deeds again, but still didn’t understand where he went wrong. He could only ask with a polite smile, “I don’t quite understand what Mr. Shen means when you say this?”

“It doesn’t matter.” After Shen Chen said this, he paused slightly, handing over his business card: “Although I know that with Mr. Tao’s status and ability today, you probably won’t need my help. But I still want to say, if you ever have use for me, please call me directly.”

Tao Mu frowned: “I said before——”

“Sometimes, too much resistance means that you care about one thing.” Shen Chen stood up and nodded slightly: “If Mr. Tao really doesn’t want others to see that you care, the correct way is to graciously accept the business card and throw it in the trash afterwards.”

Tao Mu was stunned. Then he heard Shen Chen continue: “By the way, do you know Zhuo Yan?”

Tao Mu said calmly, “Miss Shen’s fiance.”

Shen Chen carefully paid attention to Tao Mu’s expression: “I’m curious about something. This Zhuo Yan seems to have long known who Shen Yu’s biological mother is. However, when Yan Yan was searching for her, Zhuo Yan did not provide any clues. But after Yan Yan found her, he took the initiative to communicate with Shen Yu’s biological mother. After that, you should have also seen what Shen Yu’s biological mother said in the live broadcast room, right?”

At that time, no one knew what Zhuo Yan said to Shen Yu’s biological mother. But after the conversation, Shen Yu’s biological mother deliberately concealed the past regarding the rental house in Beijing, and only for it to be revealed so coincidentally that it became known to the entire Internet.

However, what made Shen Chen more concerned was that Zhuo Yan was only an ordinary investment manager before he joined the Shen Group. Although there were some talents to him that were slightly budding, he was definitely not excellent enough to make people feel threatened.

But in private, this Zhuo Yan, like Tao Mu, made a lot of money from shorting in the international financial market. Although the timing of his entry was a bit late, and his assets so far were only about a few millions of US dollars. But a person who was obviously so talented actually entered the Shen Group in such a roundabout way. And the first clue that exposed him was actually related to Tao Mu.

Such a move made it impossible for Shen Chen to not care.

“I sent someone to investigate this Zhuo Yan secretly.” Shen Chen said this, and suddenly smiled with intrigue: “A dozen years ago, when I just joined the Shen Group, the first project I took over was to acquire a department store. At that time I was young and impatient, and it was the first time that I have been given a heavy responsibility by the group. Mr. Tao should be able to imagine that in order to successfully complete the task, my methods were a bit aggressive.”

The end result was, of course, the successful completion of the acquisition. But there were also fatalities——the owner of the department store committed suicide by jumping off the building shortly after the acquisition.

In fact, Shen Chen didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he did back then. Business competition was like this. The Shen Group was not a charity. Since they had the guts to compete with the department stores under the Shen Group, they should have had an awareness of failure and damage.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

But what surprised Shen Chen was that more than ten years later, the son of the owner who jumped off the building showed up and began dating Shen Yan while hiding his past, and then tried every means to enter the Shen group. And even became connected to Tao Mu.

Tao Mu met Shen Chen’s meaningful look, and asked, “What does Mr. Shen want to say?”

TN: Bonus chapter💕

It was a special coincidence that everyone from the Shen family arrived at Hong Kong on the same flight as Li Xiaoheng.

Considering the rumored relationship between Li Xiaoheng and Tao Mu, Chairman Shen originally wanted to take advantage of the trip to have a chat with Li Xiaoheng. Talk about Tao Mu’s daily hobbies and habits. And Mrs. Shen wanted to inquire about Tao Mu’s past experience from Li Xiaoheng.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

It had to be said that even though Mrs. Shen had many fantasies about her second son who had been missing all these years, she never thought that Tao Mu, who was hailed as a “business genius” by the media, would actually be her son. But thinking about Tao Mu’s similar appearance to Shen Chen, Mrs. Shen felt very proud.

“As expected of the children of our Shen family, with the blood of the Shen family, they are can’t not be excellent. At such a young age, he was able to create FlyNews.com from scratch. This must be inherited from his father.”

Hearing these words, Chairman Shen also smiled very proudly. He even pondered on how after the father and son recognized each other, the Shen Group could use the influence of FlyNews.com to reach a higher level. In the recent period, there have been rumors in the investment field that FlyNews.com intended to conduct Series A financing. Because of Tao Mu’s quarrel with Shen Yu, and Tao Mu’s inexplicable rejection of the Shen family, Chairman Shen had no illusions about getting a share in this matter. But if Tao Mu was really his second son who had been missing for nineteen years, then this matter could allow for some more planning.

If it succeeded, wouldn’t it be “the missing youngest son founded his business from scratch, and the father and son recognized each other, resulting in Shen Group’s financing of FlyNews.com”. At that time the powerful alliance would make waves hand in hand, making a good business circle story indeed!

Thinking of this, Chairman Shen couldn’t help thinking that Tao Mu was also a senior partner of Xiaoheng Capital. In the past, he wanted to befriend Tao Mu through Shen Yu, so that he could befriend the eldest son of the Li family. In the end, don’t know what possessed Shen Yu, but he always had acrimonious relations with Tao Mu. As a result, the Shen family not only failed to make friends with Li Xiaoheng, but was targeted by Xiaoheng Capital several times and lost a lot in the stock market.

Now it seemed that fate couldn’t be avoided, after several twists and turns, everyone turned out to be family.

“It is rumored outside that CEO Li and Tao Mu have a very close personal relationship, even to the point of meeting each other’s parents. But we didn’t know the relationship between Tao Mu and the Shen family before, so please forgive me for the rudeness. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely bring the whole family over for a visit.” Although Tao Mu’s identity had not been officially confirmed, Chairman Shen had already assumed the attitude of an elder, talking to Li Xiaoheng with a smile.

“I heard that Xiaoheng Capital intends to invest in FlyNews.com and help FlyNews.com complete the A round of financing. We appreciate your kindness. I am ashamed to say that I, as the father, have not been able to fulfill a father’s responsibilities before. The dignified second son of the Shen family lived in an orphanage and suffered so much at a young age. Fortunately, although Xiao Mu did not grow up in the Shen family, he still has the blood of the Shen family flowing through him. With such a high talent in business, able to start his own business from scratch and establishing FlyNews.com. Now the development of FlyNews.com has reached the most crucial step. As a father, I can’t help in other places, but I can still support his business with funds. Think of it as my compensation for the child.”

Who knew the father more than his son. Even Shen Chen, who had always been deeply scheming and calmly sophisticated, frowned unconsciously after hearing Shen Shiyuan’s words.

Shen Shiyuan was already eagerly making plans about FlyNews.com even before the matter of recognition was finalized. In the eyes of outsiders, this attitude was too anxious and too ugly.

What’s more, Tao Mu was not Shen Yu, who easily allowed himself to be controlled. Not to mention that Tao Mu was able to set up FlyNews.com at a young age and invested in Xiaoheng Capital with financial skills, grasping public opinion with one hand and capital with one hand, and was able to do well in the financial circle, IT circle and entertainment circle. Just from Tao Mu’s revenge on the Yao family, anyone with a brain could see that this was definitely not a good natured fellow.

Shen Shiyuan wanted to take advantage of FlyNews.com by virtue of his blood relationship, but he was afraid it wouldn’t be that easy.

Sure enough, even before seeing Tao Mu himself, after what Chairman Shen said was heard by CEO Li, who was rumored to “eat people without spitting up bones”, Li Xiaoheng made a statement first.

Li Xiaoheng coldly looked at Chairman Shen, who believed in his self-righteous calculations but really only appeared shameless and ridiculous in the eyes of outsiders, and felt a little amused.

“With all due respect,” Li Xiaoheng pondered for a moment before he said tactfully: “So far, there is no evidence to prove that Tao Mu is the second son of the Shen family who disappeared as an infant. Chairman Shen may be saying these words too early. I’m also afraid that Chairman Shen must have forgotten, when it comes to capital strength and financing methods, Xiaoheng Capital far exceeds the Shen Group in terms of market value and the technical capabilities of its professional team. Instead of thinking about how to invest in FlyNews.com, Chairman Shen should think about how once the outside rumors come true and Chairman Shen continues to press aggressively forward step by step, our family’s CEO Tao will become impatient, and the next project of Xiaoheng Capital would be the acquisition of the Shen Group.”

Chairman Shen’s face sank. Mrs. Shen couldn’t help but say, “This child, how do you talk to your elders? You and Xiao Mu are good friends, so we are also your elders. Could it be that the Li family’s education tells the younger generation to talk to the elders like this?”

Li Xiaoheng looked over at Mrs. Shen, who couldn’t wait to pose as an elder, and couldn’t help laughing involuntarily.

Assistant Jiang, who was sitting beside Li Xiaoheng, rolled his eyes secretly, and politely helped their boss Li explain: “We can understand the feeling of Chairman Shen and your wife on losing your beloved son. But neither can you two rely on an unfounded rumor on the Internet to recognize sons everywhere because of your eagerness to find your son. It is true that our CEO Tao was an orphan in the past. But this does not mean that those rumors and speculations on the Internet are indeed true.”

“What’s more, even if those rumors are true, our CEO Tao now has an adoptive family. At the legal level, Mr. Liu and Mr. Meng are our CEO Tao’s parents. As for other idle people, they have no relation to our CEO Tao.”

“Don’t speak so nastily.” Shen Yan, who had been thinking about how to disgust Tao Mu and Shen Yu, sneered and said, “You are not Tao Mu, how do you know that Tao Mu doesn’t want to find his biological parents? What’s more, the Shen family is not just any random stray cat or a dog. Poor relatives who upon seeing their son’s success, just want to come and take advantage. The market value of the Shen Group is hundreds of billions, and what is the market value of FlyNews.com? Just a shabby website that has yet to even undergo Series A financing. Yet you people take it so seriously.”

“I know that CEO Li values ​​that kid Tao Mu. But there’s no need to stick gold on his face like that. Isn’t he just an orphan who had no background and no backing and had to work hard on his own, thinking he is so great to have founded a little business from scratch? You really think our Shen family is that desperate to grab at his little shabby website? CEO Li thinks that our Shen family is scheming, but we think that the fact that the Shen family is even willing to recognize this son, he should be burning high incense?”

“Miss Shen’s self-confidence is really enviable.” Li Xiaoheng hooked up a corner of his mouth and looked at the Shen family father and his son: “If the rest of the Shen family can also have this self-consciousness, I believe that no matter what the future will be like, we can at least avoid a lot of trouble.”

Li Xiaoheng’s attitude was already obvious. Regardless of whether Tao Mu was the second son of the Shen family or not, the Shen family should not rely on this blood relationship to make designs on FlyNews.com. Otherwise, Xiaoheng Capital would be happy to take over FlyNews.com’s acquisition of the Shen Group.

Xiaoheng Capital had become famous on Wall Street in recent years, and because of the financial crisis, it had made a lot of money in the international financial market. Since last year, after returning to China for development, its several projects in cooperation with the government also made huge profits. Such momentum had already become a dragon crossing the river in the domestic financial investment field. Not to mention that Xiaoheng Capital was also backed by the strong network connections of the Li family. If Li Xiaoheng really made up his mind to help Tao Mu acquire the Shen Group, the Shen Group might be really in for a hard time.

The atmosphere fell silent again.

Li Xiaoheng leaned back on the seat in a relaxed manner, and began to close his eyes to rest.

Nearly four hours later, the plane arrived at Hong Kong Airport on time.

Tao Mu, who had received the news long ago, brought his assistant to pick him up. Tao Mu, who had long been the subject of media attention, did not want to attract attention because it happened to be the hot screening schedule of “Black and White” recently, and the Golden Crow Awards announcing its shortlist, so he simply parked the car in the parking lot and sat waiting directly in the car.

Li Xiaoheng entered the parking lot directly from the VIP passage. After getting into the car, he hugged Tao Mu and gave him a warm kiss. Then he asked for credit, “I met the Shen family on the plane. I helped you vent your anger.”

As Li Xiaoheng spoke, he relayed to Tao Mu the conversation between him and the Shen family on the plane. At the end, he vowed: “Whether they are your biological parents or not, don’t worry, Xiao Mu, I will definitely protect you and never let them bully you.”

Tao Mu smiled. He really didn’t worry about anyone bullying him. After all, with his vicious cannon fodder character, no matter in his previous life or this life, he was the only one who bullied others. Even if someone bullied him on the basis of their family background, Tao Mu would still be able to get his money back in the end.

But this feeling of being guarded and protected by someone was still very good. Tao Mu patted Li Xiaoheng’s head with a smile, and even reached up and gave him a smooch of love to encourage him.

Li Xiaoheng directly pulled the other into his arms, kissed Tao Mu’s forehead, eyebrows, nose, lips, and then relayed to Tao Mu what Liu Yao, Meng Qi and old man Song had told him.

“…..Uncle Liu and Meng and Grandpa asked me to tell you before coming here, no matter what the truth is, no matter what choice you make, they will support you unconditionally. They will always be your family and your backing.”

There was a warm current in his heart, Tao Mu smiled knowingly, and said, “My family is only Yao Dad, Qi Dad, and Grandpa Song.”

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Mr. Li, who had always been a gentleman without any flaws in front of others, had on a pitiful expression on his face, Tao Mu smiled again: “And of course, our family’s CEO Li.”

Li Xiaoheng chuckled lightly, kissed Tao Mu again, and then said: “I see the Shen family is serious this time. They will definitely try to force you to do DNA testing. Have you thought about how to deal with this? “

“Just go with the flow.” Tao Mu said indifferently, “I’m an adult, past the age where I need a guardian. And I have legal adopters. Even if the Shen family forces me, as long as I don’t want to, they can’t force a DNA identification on me.”

“I’ve already done a DNA test, and Tao Mu is not a child of the Shen family at all. Dad, mom, eldest brother, sister, you have to believe me——”

A crisp sound of a slap interrupted Shen Yu’s words. Shen Yu covered his cheek in astonishment, and in his other hand he was holding the DNA identification report that Lin Rong’an gave him.

“I don’t believe it. You vicious man. You are as shameless and low level as your mother. What are you planning on again to destroy Xiao Mu’s relationship with our Shen family?”

Mrs. Shen said, raised her hand and gave Shen Yu another slap: “Get out! Get out of my sight. You little b*tch who occupied the magpie’s nest. Don’t call me mother again, I feel disgusted when I hear it. Your mother is a b*tch who gave birth for old men for money. You are just like your b*tch mother, you can do anything for money. I will never believe nonsense from you and your mother again.”

In the airport hall, the paparazzi reporters from Hong Kong who heard the news frantically pressed the shutter to take pictures and recorded the scene as it was. And sent back to the magazine as soon as possible. Some media even choose to log in to their official accounts on FlyNews.com right then and there.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

In less than half an hour, the news that the Shen family arrived at Hong Kong and their adopted son, Shen Yu, met them at the airport and produced a DNA identification report, claiming that Tao Mu was not part of the Shen family, only to be slapped by Mrs. Shen right there in the middle of Hong Kong Airport. This scoop immediately hit the headlines of major media.

An hour later, with the concerted efforts of netizens across the country to click and share the article, the news topped FlyNews.com’s hot search list.

TN: bonus chapter💕

When Tao Mu saw the hot search, it was already an hour and a half later. It was Meng Qi who called and told Tao Mu about it.

Due to the ban on Shen Yu, the staff of FlyNews Entertainment very cleverly used an ambiguous style of writing. In the report, Shen Yu’s name was avoided, and they only used “Mrs. Shen slapped the adopted son, angrily scolded the adopted son for having bad intentions” in the title, and then in the report, they fully described how a certain adopted son secretly stole Tao Mu’s hair for DNA identification, proving that Tao Mu was not the blood of the Shen family.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Because the report focused on describing the attitude of Mrs. Shen and the members of the Shen family, and only a passing mention of a certain banned person. So it did not violate the ban from SARFT. And when netizens left comments, all related entries about Shen Yu were also blocked. Therefore, although the mainland side was aware of the facts, there was no way to directly participate in the discussion on FlyNews.com. In contrast, the reports and discussions in Hong Kong media were more free in their words.

Having originally thought that he could stop the Shen family from being deceived by Tao Mu when he got the solid evidence, Shen Yu, who was slapped twice in the face by Mrs. Shen in the airport lobby in front of so many media reporters and fans, felt extremely aggrieved.

He had lived in the Shen family for nineteen years, and since he was a child, he had been held and pampered in the palm of the hand. How could he have suffered such grievances?

It’s all Tao Mu! It’s all Tao Mu’s fault! Don’t know what spell this person put on the Shen family. He had already obtained Tao Mu’s DNA test report. Yet why was mom still reluctant to believe him?

On the other side, the same question was also on Tao Mu’s mind.

“I’m very curious. There is no evidence or facts, not even any witnesses. But why are Chairman Shen and Mrs. Shen so sure that I am the second son of the Shen family who has been missing for 19 years?”

In the hotel room, looking at the Shen family who came knocking at the door, Tao Mu smiled with interest.

“There’s no mistake, you are my son. You look so similar to our Shen family men, and you were abandoned in that rental house by that woman. This all matches up.” Mrs. Shen looked at Tao Mu excitedly. She even stepped forward and wanted to hug Tao Mu but Tao Mu took a step back to avoid it.

“It’s too coincidental, and we can’t help but to believe it.” Chairman Shen looked at Tao Mu’s and Shen’s family’s similar features, and suddenly felt emotional, feeling that blood was really a wonderful thing.

“If Mr. Tao doesn’t believe it, we can do a paternity test first——”

“That’s not necessary.” Tao Mu chuckled and interrupted Chairman Shen directly: “I have a family and am very satisfied with my current life. I don’t want any unnecessary people to disturb my current life. But most importantly…..”

When Tao Mu spoke to here, he paused for a while, his dark and clear eyes sweeping across the four Shen family members, and said bluntly, “I dislike your Shen family very much.”

“No, that’s not the case.” Mrs. Shen interrupted Tao Mu’s words, looking like she could barely stand from the shock: “Xiao Mu, how can you say that? Do you know how sad your mom is when you say that? This child, how can you be so cold?”

Standing on the side, Shen Yan quickly supported Mrs. Shen and glared at Tao Mu: “How can you treat your biological mother like this. Sure enough, those who come out of the orphanage are uneducated!”

“Miss Shen seems to like to talk about upbringing?” Tao Mu looked at Shen Yan and Mrs. Shen, this mother and daughter pair, and said meaningfully: “I heard people say that people like to show off what they don’t have. It seems that these words do indeed make a bit of sense.”

“When Miss Shen said these words, you must have forgotten how you cursed at me so crudely and uneducatedly before.” Tao Mu was not a goldfish. Back then, Shen Yan and Mrs. Shen ran over more than once in order to support Shen Yu. Coming to FlyNews.com headquarters to make a scene, and even hired a water army to slander Tao Mu on the Internet, reversing black and white and scolding Tao Mu. This mother and daughter of the Shen family could forget, but Tao Mu didn’t want to.

Mrs. Shen also thought of how she hurt Tao Mu for Shen Yu, and her face flushed. She quickly explained: “That’s because I didn’t know you were my son back then——”

“No.” Tao Mu frowned fiercely, looking at the Shen family in a particularly troubled way: “There is no evidence, Mrs. Shen must not say that. I know that your Shen family has been in upheaval recently because of the matter of finding your son. But it’s your Shen family’s business after all, and I hope you don’t involve me. This will make me feel very troubled.”

He was not Shen Yu, and he didn’t have the habit of recognizing parents everywhere. It was enough for him to have two fathers and one grandfather. Relatives were not the more the better but quality over quantity. Moreover, even if he put aside his previous life, just in this life, he had a deep feud with the Shen family. The Shen family could happily forget the unhappiness of the past and come to recognize relatives, but Tao Mu did not have this habit.

He just wanted to stay away from the Shen family.

“I saw media reports that Shen Yu stole my hair for DNA identification, which proved that I am not a Shen family member.” Tao Mu simply dragged Shen Yu out as a shield: “Although I do not agree with this kind of behavior, and FlyNews will definitely send a lawyer’s letter to Shen Yu later. But I have to remind you that even if Shen Yu’s behavior violates the law, this DNA result is still of reference value. It seems that I really have no blood relationship with the Shen family.”

When Tao Mu spoke to here, he paused again. Glancing at everyone in the Shen family one by one, he remarked with emotion: “Of course, this ending is a good thing for all of us.”

“I don’t believe the DNA report given by that b*tch.” Mrs. Shen interrupted Tao Mu again and said angrily, “That b*tch is full of lies, just like his mother. They covet the wealth of the Shen family, so what crime can’t they commit? Even if he stole your hair and did a DNA test, the test result may not be true. So we have to do a new paternity test. I want to see the test results with my own eyes.”

“That’s your family’s business. It has nothing to do with me.” Tao Mu said with a lack of interest: “I have already said that my life is very satisfying now, and my family is also very good. I am not interested in finding my biological parents. It’s been this way for the past nineteen years. I’ve adapted to my current life. I’m not interested in finding another pair of parents to make trouble for me.”

To put it in a very realistic and vindictive way, when he needed the care and protection of his blood family the most, the Shen family rejected and pushed him thousands of miles away. Now that he had both fame and fortune, it was his turn to be too lazy to pay attention to the Shen family.

“But——”

“Mom, forget it. Since this person doesn’t know what’s good or bad for him, why should we eagerly rush to ingratiate him so that he would return to the Shen family.” Shen Yan interrupted Mrs. Shen impatiently. Already embarrassed angry from hearing Tao Mu mocking her for being uneducated and having no familial sincerity, Shen Yan interrupted Mrs. Shen’s words impatiently. At this moment, seeing Mrs. Shen begging Tao Mu, she felt even more displeased. She blurted out: “Isn’t it just creating a little shabby website? What’s so amazing about this accomplishment. Looking at your arrogant appearance, do you really think that our Shen family have to recognize you no matter what?”

Assistant Jiang, who had been standing behind Li Xiaoheng, suddenly snickered: “Don’t be so fast with your words. There is no basis and no evidence, just based on a vague media report, yet why did you suddenly come to Hong Kong to recognize your son? Everyone is an adult here, who can’t see what you guys think in your heart. You have already performed the action, so don’t be so reluctant to admit it.”

Jiang Zhe really couldn’t get used to the Shen family, especially Shen Yan’s expression of “being a sl*t yet pretending to be a virgin”. They were clearly very covetous of Mr. Tao’s worth and business, and even made plans to take advantage of it on the plane. Now, when they saw CEO Tao they boldly claim that the Shen family had no malicious intentions. Did they really think that all of them were goldfish, and couldn’t remember the content of their conversation two hours ago?

Jiang Zhe was really curious. How was the Shen family able to lead the Shen Group into an industrial group with a market value of hundreds of billions with this kind of attitude and way of doing things? According to Jiang Zhe’s inference, since the Shen family was so braindead, and even Shen Shiyuan, the chairman of the board, had such a bizarre logic, the Shen Group should have collapsed long ago.

It could only be said that the colleagues in Shanghai City were too soft-hearted, or Shen Chen, the CEO, was too capable.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhe couldn’t help but look at Shen Chen who had been looking at Tao Mu thoughtfully the whole time since he had entered the room, but never said a word.

Who knows what kind of scheme or plot this guy was cooking up!

In fact, Shen Chen wasn’t scheming or plotting anything at the moment. Unlike Shen Shiyuan and his wife, who couldn’t wait to recognize their son, Shen Chen actually had no enthusiasm for this matter. Because Shen Chen clearly knew that, whether Tao Mu was the second son of the Shen family or not, with Tao Mu’s scheming and sophisticated means, the Shen family would not be able to use this blood relationship to get any advantage from Tao Mu. Just like Shen Chen would never voluntarily give up the control of the Shen Group and his status as the number one heir to the Shen family just because the second young master Shen was his own younger brother.

Shen Chen believed that Tao Mu must have a very mature personality to establish such a career at this age. At least the behind-the-scenes player who could scheme against the Yao family and the Sheng’an Group to the point where their assets have shrunk dozens of times without any hesitation was definitely not a child who let his family’s interests control his own interests.

As Tao Mu himself said, he was past the age where he needed guardians and parents to protect him. He had worked hard all these years just by himself. Even if his parents came knocking at his door one day, Tao Mu’s first thought was definitely not happiness at having found a few more relatives, but to think about whether these relatives would use this relationship to rob Tao Mu’s own interests.

Just like him, Shen Chen, when he heard the news that the second son of the Shen family was still alive, his first thought was definitely not happiness that his younger brother was still alive. But ponder whether after the younger brother came back, would he pose a threat to his status. After this thought, only then was he in the mood to think about what the return of the second young master of the Shen family would mean to the Shen family.

Just based on a vague media report and the identification of a blurry-eyed Beijing landlady, it was concluded that Tao Mu was the second son of the Shen family who had been missing for 19 years. From the very beginning, Shen Chen didn’t really believe in such an extreme coincidence. It’s just that he felt that he didn’t need to dampen Mrs. Shen’s interest at such a time. Whether Tao Mu was the second son of the Shen family who had been missing for 19 years, this conclusion only needed a DNA test to come to the conclusion. Shen Chen was different from Shen Shiyuan and his wife. His position determined that he couldn’t act nonsensically at will, lest outsiders misunderstand that he was afraid that his rights would be damaged and would try his best to prevent his parents from recognizing their other son. What’s more, this kind of thing could not be stopped by words. Therefore, there was absolutely no need for Shen Chen to stand forward and be a villain.

However, after today, to be precise, after seeing Tao Mu, Shen Chen was not so confident in his own inferences.

Maybe Tao Mu was really the second son of the Shen family who had been missing for nineteen years. And Tao Mu himself seemed to know about this as well.

So the question was, how did Tao Mu know about things that even the Shen family couldn’t be sure of? Why didn’t he want to go back to the Shen family?

Shen Chen felt that Tao Mu’s attitude was very problematic. At the same time, Tao Mu being extremely repulsed by the Shen family, and wanting to keep a distance from the Shen family to the point that it was best not to recognize each other for the rest of their lives. This kind of aloof and cold attitude was picked up by Shen Chen.

Shen Chen didn’t know why Tao Mu acted so strangely, but compared to those ambitious “Second Young Masters” who wanted to use a blood relationship to win over the Shen Group, at least Tao Mu’s attitude made Shen Chen feel more at ease.

Although Shen Chen was confident that with his scheming and smarts, he would not lose no matter who he competed with for the inheritance. But compared to the headache of internal fighting, CEO Shen obviously preferred to expand outward.

Therefore, Shen Chen felt it was necessary to chat with Mr. Tao, who was most likely his true younger brother.

After “Black and White” was released in Hong Kong, its reputation was particularly good. The box office exceeded 18 million in the first week of its release, and it directly became the champion of this week’s box office chart. In the second week, the box office rose even more rapidly, directly exceeding 25 million. At this time, the Hong Kong Golden Crow Award also announced the shortlist for this year’s awards. The crew of “Black and White” had been shortlisted for a series of heavyweight awards including Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, etc. It had become the biggest dark horse of this year’s Golden Crow Awards.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

In this kind of situation, all the crew members were completely pumped up. Director Xu Musen and members of the production team began to look forward to the box office release of “Black and White” in the mainland. According to conservative estimates, it could break the 200 million yuan mark at least.

Motivated by the smell of money, the entire crew was thrown into a busy state, going all out to make up for the mainland version of “Black and White”. In order to ensure that the plot was exciting enough, the screenwriting team of “Black and White” once again approached Tao Mu, the producer of the mainland version of “Black and White”. Taling initiative to ask to discuss the script more with his screenwriting team and continue to polish it some more, in order to match the production style of the Hong Kong version of “Black and White”.

Because of the memories of his previous life, he was worried that the Hong Kong production team would not care about the remake version, so he found the screenwriting team of “The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood” to adapt the script of the mainland version of “Black and White”. However, because of the different production styles, the reshoots of the mainland version were completely different from the Hong Kong version in terms of lines and camera performance. Even though Tao Mu had tried his best to make up for it with the cooperation of the Hong Kong production team, there were still some imperfections that could be seen. In particular, the part where Gu Yuzhang participated in the filming. Using a vivid metaphor, it was like a mainland soldier had suddenly appeared in the Hong Kong police team, so the out of place feeling could not be more obvious.

But this was also not something they could do anything about. First of all, Gu Yuzhang was a mainland actor, and from Yan Film Academy. Although he was only a freshman this year, his performance style had been influenced by the mainland, and was slightly in the direction of stage play acting. Secondly, before entering the crew, Gu Yuzhang had been receiving training in the army. Even after entering the crew, in order to ensure that his training progress was not left behind, Gu Yuzhang was also actively exercising after filming. Therefore, in all of his gestures and posture, there was a kind of soldier’s vigor and resoluteness, uprightness and justice. This kind of aura was not the same as that of the Hong Kong police.

In order to make Gu Yuzhang’s performance closer to the Hong Kong police, Tao Mu also threw Gu Yuzhang into the Hong Kong Police Academy for a week. He even introduced Gu Yuzhang to Jiang Jingwen and several other police officers at a gathering of friends. Allowing Gu Yuzhang to closely observe the words and gestures of the Hong Kong police, and imitate them.

It had to be said that although Gu Yuzhang’s emotional intelligence was a little low, there was definitely nothing negative to be said about his acting talent. In just one week, Gu Yuzhang’s Hong Kong police officer image managed to be 70 to 80 percent alike. The last twenty percent belonged to his innate behavior style accumulated from the environment, and the different aura he developed after training in the mainland troops. But this difference was a perfect complement to Yan Yu’s characteristic of possessing a black-and-white view, which was already very out of place.

Tao Mu’s production level once again conquered the Hong Kong production team. This was also the reason why the screenwriting team of “Black and White” was able to put aside their prejudice and correct their attitude, and offered to polish the script.

With the full support of the screenwriting team, the script of the mainland remake of “Black and White” did its best to be close to the production level of the Hong Kong version in detail. Although the shooting schedule was delayed by half a month compared to the original plan. But the finished film was really satisfying indeed. The rest was left to post editing. Director Xu personally did the editing and took the post-production team of the “Black and White” crew with him into closed door seclusion. The bigwigs who once again ended filming were also unable to rest, and instead jumped head first into the Golden Crow Award PR.

Despite shooting a movie for the first time, yet able to be shortlisted for the Golden Crow Award for Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Actor. There was no doubt that Tao Mu himself was also a dark horse among the finalists of this year’s Golden Crow Award. At the same time, he was also the most popular Best Newcomer Award winner in the eyes of public, fans and the media——because the nominees for the Best Supporting Actor award were all famous celebrities in Hong Kong. Among them, two of the nominees were even on par with A-list big names such as Zhou Yanqing, Wang Jinsheng and Luo Daming. Therefore, the public was not optimistic that Tao Mu could win the best supporting actor award. It was not that Tao Mu’s acting skills were not good, it was just that in terms of his qualifications and contacts in the circle, everyone felt that Tao Mu was relatively lacking. Coupled with the tacit xenophobia of the Hong Kong film industry, it was estimated that there were many people in the Golden Crow Awards jury who did not want Tao Mu, a newbie who had just debuted, to win such an important award as Best Supporting Actor.

But other than that, everyone felt that Tao Mu would definitely win the Best Newcomer Award. After all, among the five nominees for the Best Newcomer Award, only Tao Mu was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Also, only Tao Mu’s acting skills could beat the other four finalists. This was already a fact for all to see. Therefore, many people were speculating that Tao Mu would definitely do his best to PR the Best Newcomer Award. And the Golden Crow Award jury was definitely willing to hand over this kind of insignificant award to encourage newcomers from afar. Create a fair and equitable image for the Golden Crow Award.

This kind of conclusive public opinion spread to the ears of the other four nominees, and naturally they were sour, unconvinced yet unable to refute. The other three nominees were well aware of the gap between themselves and Tao Mu——in terms of background capital and acting skills, they could not compare at all. In addition to being sour, they could only accept their fate. They even pondered on getting to know Tao Mu and striking up friendly relations at the Golden Crow Awards ceremony, and in the future, if there were good resources, they could also benefit.

Only Shen Yu, who had always seen himself as an opponent, could not accept this kind of evaluation. However, he knew about his own affairs, no matter how much Shen Yu secretly thought in his heart that he was not inferior to Tao Mu, there was no way for their performances in the movie to fool people. Tao Mu and Shen Yu——to be precise, in all the scenes between Zhou Yuanting and Yan Yu, Tao Mu’s acting skills could steamroll him. Especially in the explosive police station scene, Tao Mu’s wonderful acting skills and powerful aura directly overwhelmed Shen Yu, who was also in the camera frame. So much so that after the film was released, all professional film critics and unprofessional fans who had watched the film raved about Tao Mu’s acting skills. Many people even said that they didn’t even notice Shen Yu at all. Simply a background board from start to finish. His character’s image was obviously so good, but the acting was not as good as the little gang leader played by Du Ze.

Many fans expressed frankly that the only scene where they had a deep impression on Yan Yu was probably the last ten minutes of the film’s port shootout. When Yan Yu confronted Zhou Yuanting with a gun, the little detail in which his finger was not on the trigger. As well as the scene where Zhou Yuanting blocked the gunshot and died.

Well-informed people in the industry knew that the performance of these two scenes was actually based on Tao Mu’s suggestion. Shen Yu’s fears at the time of filming really came true——everyone credited Tao Mu for his outstanding performance.

What’s more was that there were still many paparazzi in Hong Kong who had bad intentions. Because “Black and White” was still in theaters, all actors have to cooperate with the crew to participate in promotional activities. Therefore, when being interviewed, many entertainment reporters would take the initiative to ask Shen Yu, what do you think of the choice of another actor for the role of Yan Yu for the mainland remake of “Black and White”? They even mentioned the old grievances between Gu Yuzhang and Shen Yu out of malocious amusement, and asked Shen Yu directly who he thought had better acting skills, Gu Yuzhang or himself? Who was more competent for the role of Yan Yu?

They were all movie-related questions, and it was impossible for Shen Yu to use the official statement of “not answering questions unrelated to the movie” as a shield. But such tough questions were not easy to answer. Especially at the critical moment when Shen Yu was preparing to compete for the Golden Crow Award for Best Newcomer Award——

You think your performance was good and you want to win an award, but you ended up being replaced by someone else to play your role. What’s even more embarrassing was that the one who replaced Shen Yu with someone else happened to be Tao Mu, the producer. Tao Mu’s acting skills and production level were already recognized as first-class in the industry.

This situation was very unfavorable for Shen Yu’s PR of the Best Newcomer Award. Even Shen Yu’s public relations team said that if Tao Mu himself didn’t break out any negative news before the awards ceremony, they were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to PR the Best Newcomer Award for Shen Yu——after all, no matter how big and influential the Lin family’s influence in Hong Kong was, the Golden Crow Award still had some dignity. With Tao Mu as a shining example in front, and the aggressiveness of the media and public opinion, it was impossible for them to PR the Best Newcomer Award to Shen Yu.

Tao Mu, Tao Mu, Tao Mu again!

Shen Yu didn’t understand. Why couldn’t he get around the obstacle named Tao Mu in every step he took? This person had simply become a stumbling block in his career. So long as Tao Mu was around, he would not be able to do anything in his life.

In front of fame and fortune, Shen Yu, who had long held a grudge against Tao Mu, became more and more unable to bear it. Cocidentally, at this time, the mainland media broke the news again that “Shen Yu’s biological mother lied, someone broke the news that Shen Yu’s biological mother abandoned the baby in a rental house in Beijing.”

——The single mother took the newborn child, abandoned the child in the rental house and left by herself, and this incident happened in Beijing. Did this experience look familiar? The group of netizens and fans who often eat melons on the Internet immediately connected this to that a man who could cause a bloody storm in the entertainment industry. Then they connected this to the conflict between that man and the Shen family, specifically with the siblings Shen Yan and Shen Yu…..F**k, this had more twists and turns, ups and downs than the plot of a dog-blood TV series! ! !

In addition to being shocked, public opinion instantly boiled over. Shen Yu’s biological mother, who originally appeared with the image of a motherly white lotus flower and won the favor of netizens, was instantly labeled as a vicious white lotus b*tch. Some netizens even started conspiracy theories, suspecting that Shen Yu’s biological mother had seen Shen Yan secretly switching the children, so that was why she left the hospital overnight, and even abandoned the child thousands of miles away in a small rental house in Beijing in order to kill the baby and eliminate the evidence.

One must know that the child was born less than two months ago, and such a small child was forced to travel thousands of miles away and then became abandoned in a rental house for several days. That was not just the crime of abandonment, it was simply intentional homicide.

Letting her own child replace the second son of the Shen family to enjoy a rich life, and then abandon the real second son of the Shen family in Beijing, thousands of miles away. This simply cut off the possibility of the child recognizing his biological parents. Even if the Shen family found out the truth, if it weren’t for the development of the Internet more than ten years later and the information being so convenient and fast spreading, it was very likely that the Shen family would never be able to find the real second son of the Shen family.

In an instant, the public opinion reversed, and Shen Yu’s biological mother immediately became a vicious woman who was cursed at by everyone. Shen Yu’s biological mother never thought that things would turn out like this. Of course she refused to admit that she had such vicious thoughts.

“I’m not lying. I really didn’t know about the children being switched. If it’s like what you said, I intentionally abandoned the child. Why go to the effort of taking the child all the way to Beijing with me to work, and then took care of him for more than a month?” Shen Yu’s biological mother was less than twenty years old back then, but she gave birth to a child out of wedlock. In that conservative era, one could imagine how stressful a single mother had it.

Shen Yu’s biological mother really wanted to raise her child well. It was just that she didn’t think about how hard it would be for a single mother to bring up a child. Money couldn’t even make up for this kind of difficulty. So in the end, Shen Yu’s biological mother regretted it. She left the child in the rental house and walked away. But she had no intention of putting her child to death.

It was just that Shen Yu’s mother also understood that if she admitted to her abandonment of her child, putting aside whether her current husband and son would think that she was cold-blooded and not responsible, she herself couldn’t bear the crime of abandonment. And if the Shen family knew that she deliberately left the child in the rental house to survive or die…..She was also afraid that the Shen family would take their anger out on her and Shen Yu for this.

Shen Yu’s biological mother was a regular full-time wife. As a mother and wife, Shen Yu’s biological mother’s usual everyday life was taking care of her parents-in-law, raising her children, and managing housework. In her own words, she rarely went online at all. So she didn’t know about the various hot search headlines on the Internet. Not to mention Tao Mu’s birth experience.

In her opinion, the child who was abandoned in the rental house must have died. Although she was very sorry and felt heartache, so many years had passed after all, how could she ruin her current life for an abandoned baby from back then? Since the child was gone, what was the difference between intentional abandonment and premature death?

The world sought advantages and avoided disadvantages, and Shen Yu’s biological mother felt that she just wanted to maintain her current stable family and life. The events of nineteen years ago were a stain on her life. She didn’t want to recall it, but she had to recall it under the coercion of the Shen family. So in order to protect herself, she had concealed some facts, wasn’t this okay?

How could she have thought that things would be so coincidental, there happened to be a bloody storm raising man in the entertainment circle, and his birth experience was an orphan who was abandoned in a rental house by his biological mother when he was just a baby?

Don’t even mention Shen Yu’s biological mother, even everyone in the Shen family who was in the center of the whirlpool was dumbfounded and couldn’t believe it. Mrs. Shen, who had thought that her youngest son died tragically, couldn’t even wait to book a plane ticket and wanted nothing more than to fly to Hong Kong to recognize her son. Even the father and son pair of the Shen family, who had always been calm and basically didn’t take looking for the missing child seriously, were moved and prepared to follow Mrs. Shen to Hong Kong.

Shen Yan suddenly felt like being struck by a thunderbolt. She hadn’t forgotten how she offended Tao Mu in the first place. And with Tao Mu’s vengeful character, if he really became the second son of the Shen family, would he take revenge on her?

No,that was not right. If Tao Mu was really the second son of the Shen family, then she, Shen Yan, was Tao Mu’s sister. At that time, she would be the biological sister of the CEO of FlyNews.com and BulletScreen.com? Could Tao Mu still dare to take revenge on his own sister without caring about their blood relation?

Thinking of this, Shen Yan not only was not afraid, but instead became confident. She even felt that Tao Mu was indeed a man of the Shen family, and it was because of the blood of the Shen family that he was so capable. Much better than that fake, Shen Yu.

——No, that was not completely accurate. If Tao Mu was really the second son of the Shen family who was abandoned back then. Then Tao Mu should be called Shen Yu. The child of the Shen family who was endowed with all the beauty of the world. Thinking of Tao Mu’s disgust for Shen Yu, and Shen Yu’s obsession with the name, Shen Yan became more and more gloating. She even began to ponder that after recognizing each other, she would suggest that the family return the name back to Tao Mu!

Disgust him to death!

Tao Mu and Shen Yu, who were far away in Hong Kong, certainly didn’t know that Shen Yan had such a disgusting plan that could kill two birds with one stone. Although he didn’t want his birth experience to be exposed, today’s Tao Mu was not the Tao Mu who let the Shen family bully him in his previous life. Even if the Shen family really came over, Tao Mu would not admit it. Even if the Shen family wanted to make designs on him, Tao Mu was sure that he would not suffer any losses. One must know that his household registration had long been moved onto the household registration book of Liu Yao and Meng Qi’s family. He had legally recognized family members, had two fathers, a grandfather, and Li Xiaoheng, and he had long passed the age of 18 when he still legally required a guardian. He was no longer the Tao Mu who desperately needed family recognition.

He was doing very well now. The Shen family was no longer needed.

In his previous life, he was not the real second young master Shen, and there was also no need to be crowned with that status in this life. He had no affinity with the Shen family. So it was best that everyone minded their own business. And with Tao Mu’s understanding of the Shen family, if he really didn’t want to go back to the Shen family, he only needed to start from the interests and let the father and son of the Shen family clearly recognize that his existence would definitely not bring any benefits to the Shen family, and may even damage the Shen family’s interests. For their own interests, for example, if the Shen Group might be swallowed up by FlyNews.com or Xiaoheng Capital, then that father and son pair would never let him return to the Shen family. They would even treat him like a snake or a scorpion.

Tao Mu’s plan was very good, but what Tao Mu didn’t expect was that just when he was preparing for the worst, things turned upside down again——

“No! It’s impossible! I don’t believe it!” After the news spread that Tao Mu was probably the second son of the Shen family, Shen Yu was the one who couldn’t believe this fact the most. He never thought that Tao Mu would be the missing second son of the Shen family. Impossible, how was it possible!

Shen Yu felt as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head, so cold that it had Shen Yu trembling all over.

“What about the test report? The DNA identification that I asked you to do after stealing Tao Mu’s hair should have come out already, right?”

In the blink of an eye, Shen Yu thought of the only life-saving straw, and quickly grabbed Lin Rong’an’s sleeve and asked, “Is he really a child of the Shen family?”

“Of course not.” Lin Rong’an hooked up the corners of his mouth meaningfully, and handed over the DNA test results to Shen Yu.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

After stealing Tao Mu’s hair for DNA identification, Lin Rong’an secretly uploaded the samples to the Lost Children’s Gene Bank for comparison. If Tao Mu was really a child of the Shen family, then this DNA test sample should be able to be successfully compared with the sample that Chairman Shen left in the gene bank. Unfortunately, the final result showed that Tao Mu was not the child of the Shen family.

“I knew it. I knew it.” Shen Yu held the inspection report tightly like a treasure. With an ecstatic expression: “All of this must be Tao Mu’s conspiracy. He just wants to make trouble for me. He just wants to replace me. I won’t let him succeed. Absolutely not.”
