Stirring up trouble again?

The news back then that Lin Rong’an and Shen Yu stole Tao Mu’s hair for DNA identification in Hong Kong caused a lot of uproar. Shen Yu even stopped the Shen family at the airport to swear that Tao Mu was not the second son of the Shen family. Tao Mu also sent a lawyer’s letter to Shen Yu because of this incident, and Shen Yu was taken to the detention center for more than ten days because of this.

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

It had only been a few days since then! Lin Rong’an came forward again and said with certainty that Tao Mu was the second son of the Shen family and if they don’t believe it they could do another test. What the hell, do you think the DNA testing center was opened by your family?

This going back and forth attitude, everything was already said by you. This change of attitude had become so fast that even the spectators who eat melons couldn’t accept it.

This was clearly playing them as fools!

Also feeling this way was Chairman Shen Shiyuan, who was still stuck in Shenzhen4, guarding his comatose son while trying to deal with Yu Qingqing’s husband and finding a way to bail his wife out.

Because of what Shen Yu said before at Hong Kong Airport, and because of Tao Mu’s attitude of avoidance, Shen Shiyuan still firmly believed that Tao Mu had nothing to do with their Shen family. There was no other reason, the main reason was that Shen Shiyuan felt he was familiar with Shen Yu’s personality, and knew that although this child’s brain was not very good and he had various problems and bad habits, he would not lie and deceive others. Especially on something so important.

Besides, Shen Shiyuan still had a lot of private selfishness——now Shen Chen was still lying in a coma in the intensive care unit, and other shareholders within the group have started all kinds of petty actions. Shen Shiyuan held more than 51% of the shares of the group, and of course he didn’t care about those clowns who jump on the beam. So long as the shares in their hands did not exceed 50%, these shareholders could not pass any resolutions even if they held a general meeting of shareholders. So Shen Shiyuan didn’t care at all about the seemingly grand series of actions by the shareholders. Even if Shen Chen, who was the CEO, was unconscious, he, the chairman, could still take charge of the overall situation.

But if at this juncture, a younger son with ability and background suddenly appeared in the Shen family, then it would be hard to guarantee that other shareholders would not have crooked ideas. More importantly, through the last communication in Hong Kong, Shen Shiyuan was very wary of Tao Mu. Shen Shiyuan was obviously more wary than covetuous of the utilization value of FlyNews.com and Xiaoheng Capital. If Tao Mu was really the second son of the Shen family, after returning to the Shen family, he might use this blood relationship to join forces with the Li family to take over the Shen family.

After all, from Tao Mu’s previous actions done to retaliate against the Yao family and the Sheng’an Group, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Tao Mu possessed shrewd and ruthless tactics. Fat meat was delicious, and everyone would want to take a bite of it. But if the offensive power of the fat meat was stronger than that of the diners, then the diners must carefully consider whether they would be bitten back when they plan to cut the meat.

Now that Shen Chen was unconscious, Shen Shiyuan didn’t want to continue to provoke a time bomb like Tao Mu while he was attacked by the enemy on all sides. He had to watch his son wake up, and then hand over the complete Shen Group to his son. However, it was not surprising that Shen Shiyuan would have such a mindset. Even if they were brothers who grew up together, there would still be bias and favoritism in the hearts of the elders. What was more, it was the special situation of the Shen family who hadn’t seen each other in twenty years.

Regardless of whether Tao Mu was the second son of the Shen family, Shen Shiyuan of course trusted his eldest son more than Tao Mu, even when both were shrewd men with deep scheming. So regardless of whether what Lin Rong’an said was the truth or not, Shen Shiyuan would not go to recognize his son under such circumstances. Fortunately, Tao Mu’s attitude was similar to his, and he didn’t want to wade into the murky waters of the Shen family as well.

For a while, no matter how the outside world discussed this matter, Shen Shiyuan and Tao Mu, who were at the center of the whirlpool, tacitly maintained a certain tacit understanding. Tao Mu declared that he did not want to pay attention to such nonsense, and Shen Shiyuan kept silent the whole time, refusing to respond to the media.

In contrast, it was Shen Yan who was more impatient. Under Zhuo Yan’s intentional analysis of the current situation, the current Shen Yan was no longer the arrogant eldest lady who used to be arrogant and regarded the Shen Group as important as the throne. She had already understood the potential value of FlyNews.com, as well as the background contacts of Xiaoheng Capital and even the Li family.

Because of this, Shen Yan was even more unable to bear it. An orphan who had been away from the Shen family for more than 20 years could have built so many resources from scratch. Shen Yan even felt that if she hadn’t switched the two children, Tao Mu, who was still in the Shen family, would never have had the chance to grow to this level. But she herself suffered so much because of it. After being scolded by her mother for so long, and trusting and doting and ungrateful wolf like Shen Yu for so many years. Yet the culprit who caused her to be in such straits could have fame, fortune and success.

Shen Yan’s jealous eyes almost turned completely red. So after hearing Lin Rong’an’s revelation, Shen Yan immediately chose to believe it. She hoped that Tao Mu was the child of the Shen family, hoped that Tao Mu could hand over all his resources to the Shen family, and even hoped that Tao Mu could…..

Thinking of this, Shen Yan, who had a bad heart, couldn’t help but run to Shen Chen’s chief surgeon to ask about her elder brother’s condition: “My brother has been in a coma after the operation, is his kidney damaged too much? Will he wake up if he has a kidney transplant?”

“Kidney transplant?” Shen Chen’s chief surgeon was dumbfounded by Shen Yan’s words: “Why does Miss Shen think this? Your brother’s operation is successful and he doesn’t need a kidney transplant.”

“Then why isn’t he awake yet?” Shen Yan asked stubbornly: “Doctor, if you have anything to say, don’t hide it from me. If my brother really needs a kidney transplant, we can find the source of the kidney. Is my younger brother’s kidney possible?”

So people say that if you arw stupid, you should read more. Shen Yan’s little schemes were really…..

Thinking of the irresponsible revelations made by Hong Kong recently, Shen Chen’s chief surgeon suddenly realized: “Young Mr. Shen really doesn’t need a kidney transplant——”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by another female doctor in the same office. This female doctor was a Ceramic, and she naturally knew that the news that had been circulating on the Internet recently was also the old grudge between Shen Yan and Tao Mu. She immediately sneered and said, “Mr. Shen doesn’t need a kidney transplant. But even if Mr. Shen needs it, you don’t need to trouble others. Isn’t Miss Shen Mr. Shen’s sister? You can also do the matching.”

Shen Yan’s face changed: “I’m a girl.”

The female doctor sneered, but taking into account her identity, she didn’t say anymore. Shen Chen’s chief surgeon sighed and patiently persuaded Shen Yan to leave. However, when Shen Chen’s doctor was making the rounds, he still couldn’t hold back, and told Shen Shiyuan the joke that Shen Yan had made before.

When Shen Shiyuan heard the doctor, he was immediately ashamed and angry. When Shen Yan came over, he couldn’t help but slap her in the face.

Recently, he had been busy reaching a settlement with Yu Qingqing’s husband——though he called it a settlement, in fact, it was to ask Yu Qingqing’s husband to write a letter of understanding to ensure that Mrs. Shen would not have a too serious sentencing. At that time, the sentence would be two or three years, and Shen Shiyuan would also do more to get a suspended sentence.

Yu Qingqing’s husband agreed to write a letter of understanding. But he asked Shen Shiyuan to help him operate his case as well. Compared with Mrs. Shen’s hiring hoodlums to hurt others, Yu Qingqing’s husband stabbed Shen Chen so many times in front of everyone that Shen Chen was still in a coma in the hospital. This sentence could reach the level of intentional homicide. So even if Shen Shiyuan was willing to let Mrs. Shen write a letter of understanding, Yu Qingqing’s husband would still have to serve at least seven years in prison.

But Yu Qingqing’s husband obviously didn’t want to sit in prison for so long. Therefore, Shen Shiyuan was asked to find a way. When it came to criminal cases, don’t say that Shen Shiyuan had any ways, even if he really had a way, how could he take the initiative to commute the sentence of the murderer who tried to kill his son? The only thing Shen Shiyuan could promise to Yu Qingqing’s husband was to find a way to take care of their child while Yu Qingqing and her husband were in prison. The child had only entered high school this year, and had not yet gone to college. Shen Shiyuan guaranteed that the child could successfully finish high school and go to a key university, and if he wanted to study abroad he could as well. And after his graduation he would also provide a good job opportunity for the child. Shen Shiyuan felt that he had exhausted his benevolence and righteousness.

But Yu Qingqing’s husband was obviously not satisfied. So things deadlocked here. Every day, Shen Shiyuan was busy dealing with internal and external troubles, taking care of his son and wife, and he was already too busy. At this time, Shen Yan didn’t know to help him share his worries, but instead caused trouble everywhere. How could Shen Shiyuan not be angry?

In addition to being angry, he was also a little remorseful, and felt that there was indeed a problem with the educational philosophy of the Shen family. In fact, girls also need better education, putting aside if they could be as capable as the female CEO of the Luo family in Beijing, at least they should not be as stupid as Shen Yan.

Shen Yan felt that she only had good intentions towards the Shen family, but she was slapped by her father without even a heads up. Her heart also collapsed: “I knew it. From childhood to adulthood, everything I did was wrong. You and Eldest Brother always looked down on me. Since you hate daughters so much, why did you give birth to me in the first place? I hate you to death!”

Shen Yan sobbed and ran out of the hospital to find Zhuo Yan.

Because of Shen Chen’s coma and Shen Shiyuan’s lack of energy, he left most of the company’s affairs to Zhuo Yan, his future son-in-law. Fortunately, Zhuo Yan did not disappoint Shen Shiyuan’s expectations and managed the group’s business very well. Not only that, Zhuo Yan also took this opportunity to discover a lot of unexpected delights.

When Shen Yan came to Zhuo Yan crying, Zhuo Yan was in a meeting with the employees of the branch company. Shen Yan kicked open the door of the conference room, rushed in with her hair disheveled and her face red and swollen in tears, regardless of the number of people in the conference room, she lost her temper at Zhuo Yan: “I’m about to die from grief, yet you still have time to work? Zhuo Yan, don’t think that you can ignore me now that you are in the Shen Group. Don’t forget who gave you your today!”

All the employees wanted nothing more than to shrink under the table and listen to gossip. One by one, their ears perked up while they pretended to pack up the documents. The smile on Zhuo Yan’s face did not change, and he waved his hand to signal the employees to leave first: “Today’s meeting will end here now, it’s almost noon, let’s go to lunch first. Everyone is tired.”

All the employees got up with a smile, and before they could thank Zhuo Yan, they heard Shen Yan snort again: “What tiredness? They all make money from the Shen family, so what’s wrong with doing things for the Shen family? Only you like to buy hearts like this.”

Shen Yan’s original intention was that she was unhappy and wanted to vent her anger with Zhuo Yan, but when her words were heard by the employees, they all felt a little unhappy. But they all knew the temper of the eldest lady of the Shen Group, so they could only leave with awkward smiles.

Zhuo Yan glanced at everyone apologetically, and after everyone filed out and closed the door of the conference room thoughtfully behind them, he touched Shen Yan’s face helplessly and tenderly: “What’s the matter? Who dares to give grief to our eldest young lady?”

“Who else is there!” Shen Yan glared at him and said indignantly, “Who else but that deadbeat father of mine who never liked me and wished he never gave me life!”

Zhuo Yan smiled: “Uncle’s attitude towards sons and daughters are indeed very different. He seems to be very patriarchal. He seems to treat Shen Yu, the adopted son, better than his own daughter.”

Shen Yan snorted unhappily.

Zhuo Yan sighed and said inadvertently, “Of course, I shouldn’t say such a thing. After all, he is also very good to me, his future son-in-law. In fact, according to the current situation of the Shen family, since Eldest Brother is unconscious, the Shen family’s family business should be handed over to you, their daughter.”

When Shen Yan heard this, she felt uncomfortable again: “Forget it. He would never think of me in his life. But it’s good that he values ​​you. We are one family, are we not. Whoever gets to work in the company is the same.”

Zhuo Yan smiled again: “I know that I have relied on the blessing of your Shen family for me to have today. Speaking of which, Uncle is also wise. The Shen family has always been in control of more than 50% of the group’s shares to ensure that they have the highest speaking rights. Otherwise, this time with Eldest Brother having an accident, and the other small shareholders of the group teaming together, Uncle would have a headache.”

When Zhuo Yan said this, he asked curiously: “But you having group shares, why haven’t I heard of this before?”

“What are you talking about!” Shen Yan disagreed: “I only have 5% of the shares, and I only have the right to dividends. It’s not as much as the 7% shares that fake, Shen Yu has. Fortunately, my mother kicked him out of the Shen family, and made my father take back Shen Yu’s shares.”

Zhuo Yan’s heart jumped. Shen Yan looked at Zhuo Yan, frowned and asked, “Why are you suddenly asking about such a thing?”

“It’s nothing. Just curious.” Zhuo Yan smiled and said, “I just think that with the education philosophy of the Shen family, it’s quite surprising that girls would be given shares. But since you said it is just a nominal dividend, I understood.”

“So, your shares are now managed by Uncle?”

“No! The shares of the Shen family, including Dad’s, are all taken care of by Eldest Brother.” Shen Yan said unpreparedly: “But Eldest Brother is in a coma right now. So Dad is in charge.”

Zhuo Yan’s heart beat faster, saying thoughtfully: “That is to say, Uncle is now taking care of all the shares of the Shen family as a guardian?”

“Oh, don’t talk about these boring things!” Shen Yan interrupted Zhuo Yan’s thinking impatiently: “Didn’t you say that Tao Mu is likely to be my younger brother? But Dad doesn’t seem to want to recognize him now. What should we do now?”

Zhuo Yan came back to his senses and said with a smile, “Right now it is just that Lin family member in Hong Kong talking to himself. Without solid evidence, we can’t force them to do a paternity test. What’s more, the Shen family is in such a mess now, and Uncle doesn’t have the energy either. Besides, Uncle is probably considering the interests of Eldest Brother by not recognizing his youngest son. After all, if Tao Mu is really the second son of the Shen family, and he returns to the Shen family. With such outstanding ability, he would definitely threaten the status of Eldest Brother. So while Tao Mu returning to the Shen family as the second son of the Shen family, or even joining the Shen Group might be good news for the Shen family, including the current share price of the Shen Group. But to Eldest Brother, not so much.”

“Uncle loves Eldest Brother so much, he must consider this.”

“Then why did you make me——” Shen Yan raised her eyebrows and was about to get angry. Then she heard Zhuo Yan continue, “However, if Auntie knows that Tao Mu might really be her son, wouldn’t Auntie persuade Uncle to bring Tao Mu back?”

“After all, Auntie had sacrificed so much for this child? I think that Tao Mu would be very moved when he knows about these things, right? Maybe he could beg the Li family to come forward and let Auntie out as soon as possible. The Shen family has no connections in Shenzhen, but the Li family is different. The Fengxing Group has a very deep foundation in Shenzhen.”

Shen Yan’s heart moved, and she asked involuntarily, “Then what do you think I should do?”

Zhuo Yan hooked up the corners of his mouth: “Of course it is to find a way to contact Auntie and let Auntie come forward to convince Uncle. You can’t just go to Beijing to recognize relatives, right?”

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

After dismissing the eager Shen Yan, Zhuo Yan also left the branch office and drove to a certain apartment by himself.

Hearing the sound of the door, Shen Yu, who was hidden in the apartment, ran to the door, raised his face and asked, “Big brother Zhuo, you came. Is Eldest Brother awake? When can you take me to see Eldest Brother?”

Putting aside the undercurrents in the film and television industry. On the Shenzhen front, the Shen family father and son looked helplessly at the Shen family mother and daughter who somehow received the news and then ran over to make a fuss, feeling very tired.

“Why did you bring that person to Shenzhen? Why do you still have contact with that kind of person? Did you forget that his mother is the culprit who killed your brother?” Mrs. Shen hysterically yelled at Shen Chen, with a heartbroken look, as if Shen Chen was the murderer.

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

Shen Yan was also quite excited and shouted at Shen Chen: “Eldest Brother, don’t be fooled by Shen Yu’s pitiful appearance. Don’t forget how he treated me in the first place. This kind of person has no heart at all, nor knows how to repay kindness. Our Shen family treats him so well. If he was even a little bit grateful, he wouldn’t have allowed the netizens to smear me and smear the Shen family. He only cares about himself, no matter how nice you are to him, it’s useless.”

Shen Chen ignored Shen Yan’s words and instead asked, “How did you know about this?”

Shen Yan glanced at Zhuo Yan, who was also standing in the hotel room, but didn’t say a word, just harrumphed twice: “I called Zhuo Yan and found out that he was in the capital. I guessed it myself, Eldest Brother, don’t misunderstand Zhuo Yan. He isn’t a snitch.”

Zhuo Yan smiled wryly and said, “I was negligent.”

“What’s your negligence?” Mrs. Shen glared at the Shen family’s father and son: “If you hadn’t talked to Yan Yan on the phone, I wouldn’t even know that the two of them were still thinking about that fake who occupied the nest.”

“Mom!” Shen Chen frowned: “I have my reasons for bringing Shen Yu to Shenzhen.”

“What’s your reason?” Mrs. Shen was aggressive. Shen Yan also followed suit: “Yeah, other than his face, he doesn’t know anything and doesn’t understand anything. How can he help Eldest Brother?”

“You don’t understand what goes on in the business field, and won’t understand even if I tell you.” Shen Chen couldn’t show his frustrated emotions in front of Mrs. Shen, but it didn’t matter in front of Shen Yan. He was a little tired of the pressure from his mother and sister. In his opinion, the women of the Shen family only need to be docile and obedient and enjoy the wealth and status. Don’t get involved in company affairs, and don’t cause trouble at home.

Knowing his son, Shen Shiyuan could also ponder a thing or two about his son’s thinking. Like Shen Chen, he always held a kind of confidence in Shen Yu that was not rational. Now that the acquisition of Aiqing Trading was deadlocked, the Shen Group had to think of a way to make Yu Qingqing’s husband hand over the trade channels willingly. Shen Yu might be this breakthrough.

“Our son is right. You women don’t understand business affairs, so don’t talk nonsense. I asked Shen Yu to come over, and there is indeed something for him to do. Don’t be too bad to him, lest Shen Yu will have emotions.” Shen Shiyuan could condone his wife and daughter’s unreasonable behavior, but so long as the interests of the Shen Group were involved, Shen Shiyuan would only care more than Shen Chen.

Mrs. Shen dared to get angry and question her son, but she didn’t dare to say a word in front of her husband. She could only angrily lead her daughter away. Zhuo Yan also wanted to leave but was stopped by Shen Chen.

“I know you are very capable, and I rely on your ability very much. But don’t do superfluous things.”

Zhuo Yan continued to smile wryly: “Sorry, this time, it was my negligence.”

Either negligence or intentional, Shen Chen actually didn’t care much about Zhuo Yan’s methods. He knew that Zhuo Yan was harboring evil intentions. Before when Zhuo Yan had not moved, Shen Chen used him while guarding against him. Now that Zhuo Yan finally made a small move, Shen Chen also wanted to see what Zhuo Yan was going to do.

It was precisely because Shen Chen focused most of his energy on the acquisition case, Zhuo Yan, and Shen Yu, that he did not pay attention to the movements of the Shen family’s mother and daughter. So he didn’t know that after the mother and daughter of the Shen family listened to the warnings of the father and son, they really did not dare to go make trouble for Shen Yu. But they didn’t stay idle either. In order to vent their anger, they went directly to clean up Yu Qingqing in the prison. Not only that, this mother and daughter pair also found out about the child Yu Qingqing had with her current husband. And discovered that even if Aiqing Trading fell into the crisis of bankruptcy and acquisition, Yu Qingqing and her husband’s child could still live a very comfortable lifestyle, which greatly stimulated their emotions.

Why was my son abandoned since he was a child, and now who knows if he was alive or dead, while that slut’s child could live so comfortably?

Unlike the previous life, in this life, because Tao Mu deliberately avoided the Shen family, the real second son of the Shen family had become Mrs. Shen’s obsession. Every time she thought about it, she would feel a heart-wrenching pain. Under such circumstances, of course Mrs. Shen couldn’t watch Yu Qingqing’s son continue to live so comfortably and carefree? So Mrs. Shen used money to hire a bunch of hoodlums, blocking Yu Qingqing’s son’s way home from school, and beating Yu Qingqing’s son all over his body. There was even a stick that hit the back of the child’s head, and the child fell into a coma on the spot.

The father and son of the Shen family didn’t know about these things, but Yu Qingqing’s husband, who was the party involved, was in deep pain. He found that while the father and son of the Shen family did things like calling Shen Yu over, visiting the prison and playing the family card, they also secretly tormented Yu Qingqing, and even hired someone to seriously injure his only son. This was beyond the act of hitting with a stick and then giving a sweet date.

Yu Qingqing’s husband had lived most of his life, and he had only one wife and one son. If after Shen Chen brought Shen Yu over to play the family card, Yu Qingqing’s husband softened his attitude and began to seriously consider selling the company and taking the money to live a stable life with his wife and son, then when Mrs. Shen sent someone to beat Yu Qingqing and her son and even beat him to the point of being seriously injured and unconscious, this directly pushed Yu Qingqing’s husband to the other extreme.

What was even more terrifying was that all these things, because of the Shen mother and daughter’s deliberate concealment, coupled with Zhuo Yan’s help to cover up, did not enter the sight of the Shen father and son. Such that when Yu Qingqing’s husband called and expressed his willingness to accept the acquisition of the Shen Group and took the initiative to arrange the signing ceremony in the conference room of Aiqing Trading, Shen Chen and his son went completely unprepared.

Then, just after entering the conference room and under the eyes of everyone, Shen Chen who even took the initiative to shake hands with Yu Qingqing’s husband to show his goodwill, was hugged and stabbed several times in the stomach by Yu Qingqing’s husband.

The employees of the Shen Group and the shareholders of Aiqing Trading who were still in the conference room were shocked. It wasn’t until Shen Chen fell onto the conference room floor covered in blood that everyone reacted, calling the ambulance and calling the police.

Yu Qingqing’s husband had stabbed someone in public, and he didn’t even think about running away. When he was pulled away by the bodyguards of the Shen family, he roared at Shen Shiyuan with a ferocious face: “Shen Shiyuan, you old bastard, I will let you taste what it’s like for your own son to be stabbed to death today. Your Shen family is deceiving and oppressing others too much, are you playing me as a fool? Your Shen family will definitely be punished…..”

Shen Shiyuan did not expect that his son would be stabbed several times during the signing ceremony. When the incident happened, his mind was blank, and his vision was full of the blood dripping from his son. The first reaction was to control Yu Qingqing’s husband, and then hurriedly send his son to the hospital.

As a result, when he arrived at the hospital, the doctor told Shen Shiyuan after examination that Shen Chen’s kidney was punctured and needed immediate surgery. Because of having punished Yu Qingqing and her son, thinking they had gotten revenge and relieved their anger, Mrs. Shen and Shen Yan went shopping to reward themselves only to also get the news from the Internet and hurried to the hospital operating room.

“Husband, how is Ah Chen——”

With a “crack”, before Mrs. Shen finished speaking, she was slapped in the face by Shen Shiyuan, who was guarding outside the operating room.

“What did I tell you before? I told you not to do unnecessary things, but you still dare to send someone to beat Yu Qingqing’s son into a coma? Why don’t you just beat him to death! You are simply lawless!” Shen Shiyuan glared angrily at Mrs. Shen: “Now that your son is stabbed into the operating room, are you satisfied?”

Mrs. Shen covered her swollen cheek and panicked: “No, no, how is it possible. How dare he——”

“Why wouldn’t he dare to? You’ve tormented his wife and hurt their son. You have dismantled a happy family. What doesn’t he dare to do?” Yu Qingqing’s husband violently hurt another at the signing meeting. In such a serious matter, the police must of course investigate the ins and outs after intervening. And then of course learned the cause and effect. Although Yu Qingqing’s husband stabbing someone was wrong, the Shen family was not innocent either. If Mrs. Shen hadn’t sent someone to injure Yu Qingqing’s son, the father wouldn’t have taken such revenge.

Yu Qingqing’s husband was a rich man in Shenzhen. Although he was not the richest man, because of Yu Qingqing’s white lotus nature, he had been doing charity for so many years. Yu Qingqing’s innocently wounded son was smart, well-behaved and gentle, and was very popular with teachers and classmates at school. It could be said that this was a very happy family that was quite recognized by the local people. In the end, they ended up like this because they had provoked the Shen family. Although Yu Qingqing abandoned the child first and was later investigated for the crime of abandonment by the Shen family, and deserved what she got, but Yu Qingqing’s husband and son were innocent. The Shen family was too aggressive, it was no wonder they were stabbed.

Including the police uncle who handled the case, while legally not recognizing Yu Qingqing’s husband’s extreme actions, but emotionally speaking, if his wife and son were treated like this, he would also like to kill the other for revenge.

So even though the Shen family was the victim of this incident, after the news report went out, the people of Shenzhen stood by Yu Qingqing’s husband, thinking that the Shen family had done too much to invite this kind of revenge. Shenzhen police learned that Mrs. Shen hired hoodlums to hurt a boy, and they had to invite Mrs. Shen back to the police station to assist in the investigation. If Yu Qingqing’s husband’s allegations were correct, Mrs. Shen would also face severe punishment by the law.

“Rich people can’t do whatever they want.” When the Shenzhen police went to the hospital and asked Mrs. Shen to return to the police station for investigation, a young police officer who had just graduated and was still full of hot blood couldn’t help but say: “What era is this already, everyone has to follow the rules and be law-abiding citizens.”

Her son was still lying in the operating room and his life and death were unknown. How could Mrs. Shen cooperate with the police to investigate. She had to stay outside the operating room and watch over her son.

The wife of the chairman of the dignified Shen Group was cried and screamed in public. Although there were no idle people around, the scene was not very good. Shen Shiyuan couldn’t maintain his face, so he could only order his wife to cooperate with the police with a stern face.

Only then did Mrs. Shen remember that it was wrong for her to buy hoodlums and hurt others. Immediately anxious, she pulled Shen Shiyuan’s sleeve and begged bitterly, asking Shen Shiyuan to find a way to save her. Standing by the side, Shen Yan was too frightened to say a word, for fear that if she said even one word, she would attract the attention of the police, and then she would be taken away by the police as well.

She didn’t want to go to the police station.

The Shen family’s madam was detained by the police, and the reputation of the Shen family would not be very pleasant when such a thing spread out so Shen Shiyuan wanted to suppress this matter. However, this was Shenzhen, not Shanghai, and the Shen family couldn’t do whatever they wanted. What was more, the shrewd businessmen who had been vigilant about the Shen Group were not idle, and joined hands to block the Shen family.

So that night, biased news reports that the wife of the chairman of Shen Group bought hoodlums to injure the son of the boss of Aiqing Trading, causing the boss of Aiqing Trading to go crazy and stab the CEO of the Shen Group to avenge his son. The CEO of Shen Group was in a critical condition and comatose, and that Mrs. Shen was taken away by the police for investigation made headlines in the Shenzhen Evening News and even in major newspapers across the country.

As soon as this series of news came out, putting aside how the public commented, the stock price of the Shen Group was the first to be affected. It fell below the daily limit for several days. At the Shen Group headquarters far away in Shanghai, other shareholders certainly couldn’t watch the group’s share price fall, and immediately held a shareholders meeting to hold Shen Shiyuan accountable and even want to remove Shen Shiyuan’s chairman seat.

The Yao family, who had been lurking in the dark waiting for revenge, also jumped out. Regardless of his aging body, Yao Sheng’an not only stood up in person to connect with the shareholders of Shen Group, urged the shareholders to insist on the decision to remove Shen Shiyuan from the seat of chairman, but also tried every means to acquire the shares of Shen Group from other shareholders.

The Shen family’s backyard quickly caught fire. While Shen Shiyuan had to take care of his son who was still unconscious even after the operation was successful, he also had to deal with group affairs and the company’s accountability, including the acquisition of Aiqing Trade, which no one cared about anymore, and had to talk to the Shenzhen police to try to bail Mrs. Shen out. Nor did he forget to find a lawyer to fight Yu Qingqing’s husband’s intentional injury lawsuit. Now, because Mrs. Shen also had a weakness in Yu Qingqing’s husband’s hands, Yu Qingqing’s husband proposed a private reconciliation between the two families. Otherwise, if he went to jail, he would not spare Mrs. Shen who also injured his son.

That was to say, if Shen Shiyuan didn’t want to see his wife go to jail, then he must not pursue Yu Qingqing’s husband’s actions on hurting his son too much. After the impulsive moment, Yu Qingqing’s husband also came back to his senses. He didn’t want to bury himself with Shen Chen, he still wanted to remain alive and free to take care of his son until his wife was released from prison. There was no need to ruin his life because of this.

Of course Shen Shiyuan didn’t want to accept Yu Qingqing’s husband’s proposal. But he couldn’t just watch his wife go to jail. There was a desire to use the power of the Shen Group to operate one or two methods, but now the Shen Group was not at all peaceful. Those shareholders who did nothing to earn dividends but like to be nuisances all the time, as well as Yao Sheng’an that old bastard was stirring up trouble again. Even Shen Shiyuan was surprised. With the Yao family’s current worth, how could they have the confidence to buy shares from other shareholders of Shen Group?

Even if the share price of the Shen Group had plummeted in the past two years, the Shen Group was an industrial group after all. To be honest, although the good news in the stock market could be icing on the cake, even if the news was bad it would not hinder the normal operation of the group. If the shareholders of the group have brains, they would not sell their shares to Yao Sheng’an at a low price. What was more, even if those shareholders really didn’t have any brains and wanted to sell their shares, the five members of the Shen family together own more than 51% of the shares. Therefore, Shen Shiyuan was not worried about Yao Sheng’an’s small tricks, unless someone in their Shen family also sold their shares.

However, having said that, all kinds of troubling things were piled up together, and Shen Shiyuan, who had been accustomed to smooth sailing, was also very tired. In just a few days, he had aged ten years. The reporter who guarded at the entrance of the hospital took a photo. The hair on his temples was gray and his face was wrinkled. It was really a kind of sadness that the hero was dying. (TN: expression for the decline of well-respected leaders and magnates of their fields)

The matter in the Shen family was so turbulent that Tao Mu, who was far away in Beijing preparing for the filming of “Soldier Elite”, also heard from the news reports. Before he had time to sigh, Lin Rong’an, who had been imprisoned in Hong Kong, broke fresh news to the media again——

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

Tao Mu, who founded FlyNews.com, was the second son of the Shen family, and he had solid evidence in his hands! Then, during an interview with the media, Lin Rong’an threw out the address of a safe, which contained a DNA identification report. According to Lin Rong’an’s account, this report was true. The DNA sample used in the report that Shen Yu took out before was not Tao Mu’s. If the outside world did not believe it, they could re-do the DNA test.

As soon as this revelation came out, the national media and the melon-eating people were instantly in an uproar.

Tao Mu, who had his sockpuppet torn off without any precautions, instantly felt like having stepped on crap.

The celebration banquet of “Black and White” was scheduled for the first Sunday in March. In addition to inviting SARFT and the main creative staff of the crew, Tao Mu also invited “The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood” and “Soldier Elite” screenwriter team who were plot consultants for the mainland remake of “Black and White”. Other than this, no media or industry guests were invited.

This made the media and artists who have been watching Tao Mu’s actions feel very disappointed. Those entertainment media were a little better, they just felt that it was a pity they could not write a report that could attract the audience. As for the stars who wanted to take this opportunity to befriend Tao Mu, they were quite disappointed. However, everyone could understand Tao Mu carefully arranging the party to let his own people have a better time.

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

The celebration party was arranged in the restaurant on the top floor of Beijing Hotel. When eating, there was no lack of raising a glass to speak. The Hong Kong production team felt a bit embarrassed here. Especially after seeing the meaningful smiles of the SARFT leaders present. Many people seem to be able to hear the sharp sound of the face being “slapped”. Director Xu Musen, who had been the most vehement opposition even in front of the media reporters, who had ridiculed the SARFT leaders for being ineffective, coughed constantly in embarrassment. He even bowed his head for once when toasting.

“…..This time the success of the remake of “Black and White” in the mainland is absolutely inseparable from the careful guidance of the leaders of SARFT. It was I who didn’t understand the rules of your domestic film market, and I accidentally offended quite a lot of people. I must ask the several leaders here to forgive——”

Before the words were finished, Zhou Yanqing and Yan Sheng, who were more attentive and sensitive, frowned at the same time. Sure enough, just as Xu Musen raised his glass to drink, he was interrupted by the leaders of SARFT: “Director Xu’s remarks are inappropriate. It has been many years since Hong Kong returned, whether domestic or foreign, everyone here is family. So don’t speak the words of two different families.”

The leaders of SARFT were actually quite annoyed by these Hong Kong filmmakers and could not help lightly rebuking. When they had works to be released and wanted to come to the mainland to make money, everyone was from China. But once they make enough money they always say things like, your country, or your circle have too low quality and are not worthy of comparison with us…..the switching back and forth between these two faces could not be more smooth.

Director Xu made an unintentional gaft and was deliberately pointed out by the SARFT leader, and his face became a little hot. He immediately smiled and said, “Yes, yes, it was my slip of the tongue. Everyone here is from China, and we are all descendants of of the Fiery Emperor and Yellow Emperor (TN: Han Chinese people).”

The leaders of SARFT smiled slightly and did not speak.

The atmosphere suddenly became even more awkward. All the Hong Kong people looked at each other, and they could pick up on the aggressiveness of the SARFT leaders. In the entire main table there was only one female star, Fang Ruoti. When she usually attended dinner parties and social gatherings, she was used to being a social butterfly character to set off the atmosphere. But it was the first time for Fang Ruoti to have dinner with the leaders of mainland’s SARFT. She was also afraid that she could not understand the taboos of the SARFT leaders, and accidentally offend the leaders with a wrong word. So she hesitated, wanting to stand up for Director Xu, but didn’t know what to say.

Zhou Yanqing and Yan Sheng hurriedly poured wine, their popularity and influence in the circle was enough, but it was not good to make amends for Director Xu in his place. They could only smile and help Director Xu explain. But the atmosphere at the dinner table was still a bit stuffy.

As the host, Tao Mu certainly couldn’t watch the atmosphere of the dinner party run off further and further away like a wild horse. He immediately stood up with a smile and said, “Let me say a few words. Actually, before Director Xu found me, I never thought that Director Xu would want a student like me to play the role of Zhou Yuanting. I also never thought that Director Xu could give the role of Zhou Yuanting so much screen time. Of course, I didn’t expect that I, who just debuted not long ago, could play the role of Zhou Yuanting, and even have the opportunity to be the producer of the remake of such a classic movie. First of all, I am very grateful to Director Xu for his kindness, and I am very grateful to Director Xu and the members of the production team for trusting me, and I am also very grateful to everyone who taught and guided me during filming. I benefited a lot.”

After Tao Mu said this, he drank a glass of white wine in one go. The members of the Hong Kong production team and the main actors present were also full of emotion. They never thought that Tao Mu could grow so much in such a short period of time. No need to say anything more about his acting, the key was that even his production level was so high.

“I’m very happy to work with you.” Zhou Yanqing raised his glass and clinked it with Tao Mu’s, saying sincerely: “You are a genius and also work very hard. I look forward to more cooperation with you.”

The reason the leaders of SARFT participated in the celebration banquet this time really did have some intention of slapping some faces. But for the sake of Tao Mu, they wouldn’t take it too far and just stopped after a few words. But they did not forget to sigh with emotion: “Hong Kong’s film market developed decades earlier than the mainland, so it is more complete in all aspects. This is also what our mainland film market needs to learn from. The truth being what it is, we must admit it. But there are actually many talented and capable actors and filmmakers in mainland China, and of course there are more film topics that could be explored in depth. We also hope that filmmakers from the three places can cooperate sincerely, learn from each other’s strengths and make up for each other’s shortcomings, and communicate with each other. Together, we can develop the Chinese film industry better, and we can transport Chinese culture and values ​​to the West as soon as possible.”

As expected of a leader within the system, he could summarize the topic to a high level in a few words. The people from the Hong Kong film industry present were a little uncomfortable with this way of speaking, but with the huge profit of 100 million yuan at the box office in just two weeks, everyone could only accompany the leaders to laugh and chat.

Fortunately, the leaders of SARFT also know that they were not welcome among these filmmakers. They had taken out their anger already, and the face was also slapped, but they still have to take care of the child’s emotions and face. The proud leaders of SARFT finally had a few drinks with the Hong Kong filmmakers and left early.

Before leaving, in front of everyone, the leaders of SARFT also explained to Tao Mu the issue of increasing the film slots in the next two weeks. Speaking of which, the leaders of SARFT really regarded Tao Mu as their own son. Just because Tao Mu participated in this film, the leaders of SARFT considered the need to support their newcomers, and deliberately considered the types and schedules of other films when arranging the film slots. Except in the first week, it came across a Hollywood 3D blockbuster that was unstoppable all over the world, so that the box office came in second. At the beginning of the second week, because of its excellent reputation and cast, “Black and White” actually overwhelmed the Hollywood 3D blockbuster towards the end and became the champion of the next week’s box office chart.

Considering that several other films released in the same period were overwhelmed by the Hollywood 3D blockbuster, the SARFT leaders simply suggested to the theater distributors to remove some of the films that were really weak and give up the screen time to “Black and White”. Make sure that its box office could go up in the third week and the fourth week. At least in terms of big data, don’t let their domestic films compare too badly to Hollywood blockbusters——even if the SARFT leaders didn’t like the attitude of the filmmakers in Hong Kong, “Black and White” was still a co-production. And it was also a film produced by a young man they were optimistic about.

The leaders of SARFT were dedicated to the public. Although there were times when they were not very good, as long as they have the opportunity to carry forward the national prestige and national self-confidence and pride, and make Chinese local films shine, they would also try their best to support them.

——Because of these words explained before leaving, Director Xu and the other members of the Hong Kong production team reluctantly forgave the grievances of being slapped in the face by the SARFT leader at the celebration banquet. And sincerely thanked the leaders for their support and cooperation.

The SARFT leaders did not like the Hong Kong filmmakers represented by Director Xu very much. But towards Zhou Yanqing, a superstar with a good professional level, good character and good personality, and also liked to do charity in the mainland very much, they were quite appreciative. Especially as Zhou Yanqing had also begun to support emerging mainland directors to make movies in the past two years. The SARFT leaders hoped that there would be more such influential actors with the spirit of a leader. Even to a certain extent, they made a subtle promise: “Mr. Zhou is a very good actor, and Tao Mu is a very good film and television producer in the mainland. We also hope that you two will have more opportunities for cooperation and cultivate film talents for the mainland.”

Director Xu and the other members of the Hong Kong production team stood at the door of the hotel and smiled, watching Tao Mu send the SARFT leaders away one by one. This scene was photographed by the media reporters squatting at the entrance of the hotel.

So the next morning, all the headlines in the newspapers were the huge headline of “SARFT leaders came to the celebration banquet of “Black and White”, and the producers of Hong Kong lined up to exchange goodbyes”. They also didn’t forget to attach the box office numbers of “Black and White” in the mainland.

Once comparing this to the various reports that Hong Kong and Taiwan production crews bullied mainland actors in recent years, it was truly all kinds of profound and interesting.

The reason why Shen Chen asked Zhuo Yan to take Shen Yu to Shenzhen instead of Shanghai was because only Mrs. Shen and Shen Yan were in Shanghai. And these two women had a very high dislike for Shen Yu. In order to avoid complications, Shen Chen didn’t want these two sides to get together; and on the other hand, he was considering the relationship between Shen Yu and Yu Qingqing.

From Shen Chen’s point of view, it didn’t matter whether this pair of mother and son, Shen Yu and Yu Qingqing, have had contact before or not, after all, the link between mother and son could not be so easily disconnected. For the time being, Shen Chen didn’t want to investigate whether Yu Qingqing knew about Shen Yan’s switching of the children. Even if Yu Qingqing really didn’t know, she still cruelly abandoned her own flesh and blood. But it had been twenty years. As long as Yu Qingqing still had a little bit of shame and awareness as a mother, seeing Shen Yu at the age of 20, she should still have some emotions. Thinking about how her own son grew up in the Shen family, how much pamper and care he received before his birth background was exposed. And what happened to the real second son of the Shen family after he was abandoned in the rental house, and the question still be out about his survival.

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

These kinds of emotions didn’t need much, even if there was only a little bit of guilt, if used well, it might be an effective pawn in the acquisition of Aiqing Trading.

As for the filthy things that Zhuo Yan secretly pondered, of course Shen Chen didn’t know. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t care. With that time and energy, Shen Chen would rather think about how to use Shen Yu’s existence to persuade Yu Qingqing’s husband to agree to the acquisition. After all, judging from Yu Qingqing’s husband’s current actions and demands, this man still cared about Yu Qingqing very much. Therefore, he should also have two points of mercy and guilt towards Shen Yu.

Of course, it didn’t matter if he didn’t. In any case, business people did not rely on sympathy and charity. Yu Qingqing and her husband also gave birth to a son. Even if Shen Yu and the real Second Young Master Shen were not considered, the couple would definitely consider their own son’s future. It was now a foregone conclusion that Aiqing Trading would be acquired, sooner or later, it was only a matter of time and the amount of money invested.

If Yu Qingqing and her husband were smart, they would agree as soon as possible, take the money and leave, and their son would still be able to enjoy a well-off lifestyle the rest of his life. If they insisted on holding out until the end, Shen Chen was not helpless either. When Yu Qingqing’s husband was engaged in foreign trade, he used trade channels to do smuggling business. If this kind of black history was exposed, then Yu Qingqing’s husband would not just have to worry about the small question of whether or not to agree to the acquisition.

However, before this last step, Shen Chen didn’t want to tear up all pretences of cordiality with someone who was not very clean. He was no longer the 16-year-old boy who was too fierce and aggressive and desperately wanted to be recognized by the group. Towards many things now, Shen Chen hoped to be more tactful and gentle.

Not mentioning how Shen Chen calculated, in Beijing, the mainland remake of “Black and White” would be released on Valentine’s Day on February 14th. Because the previous publicity was very good, on the day of the premiere, the crew invited the most authoritative filmmakers and media people in the industry to come to watch the movie. After the premiere, discussions about the superiority and inferiority of the movie “Black and White” between the Hong Kong version and the mainland remake version have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Some people felt that the Hong Kong version was the most classic, and some people thought that the mainland remake version had all the acting skills online, and the filming was more sincere in many details. Of course, some film critics criticized the mainland version for having to give up part of the artistry and deeper connotations in order to meet the audit requirements of SARFT…..It was precisely because of these different opinions that it attracted more audiences to this film. So much so that on the day the remake of “Black and White” premiered in the mainland, the box office exceeded 60 million on the first day, almost equal to the total box office of “Black and White” in Hong Kong for one month. And a week after the movie was released, the box office directly broke 200 million yuan. Although it had not won against another Hollywood 3D blockbuster, and came only second at the box office. But the figure of 200 million box office still made the producers of “Black and White” so happy that they couldn’t close their mouths from smiling so much.

The total production cost of “Black and White” was less than 30 million yuan. It was released in Hong Kong for five weeks, breaking the box office record of Hong Kong in recent years, and finally raking in 80 million Hong Kong dollars which made sure the producers did not lose any money and even earned a bit. That was to say, after the remake of “Black and White” was released in the mainland, every penny earned was net profit after deducting the distributor’s share, various costs, handling fees and taxes.

The key point was that the mainland remake version of “Black and White” was not only a box office hit, but also had a very good reputation. Although in terms of conception, it was not as cruel and profound as Hong Kong’s version, which was full of fatalistic artistic connotations throughout. But the mainland version made up for the shortcoming involving acting skills in the cast after using Gu Yuzhang, a professional actor. Which was commonly known as the full cast’s acting being all online. Unlike the Hong Kong version, every time Yan Yux, played by Shen Yu, appeared on the screen, his appalling acting skills would always make the audience immediately pulled out from the plot.

Having said that, those gossip media with intentions immediately thought of the bankrupt, and even imprisonment of the senior members of the Hong Kong Lin family because of their sex scandals and serious allegations of raping minors. Due to the blocking order issued by SARFT, it was difficult for these media reporters to directly mention Shen Yu’s name. They had no choice but to use the Spring and Autumn brushwork (TN: full of hints and roundabout wording), first commenting emotionally in a vague way, so long as one had something to do with a certain someone, to be more precise, people who were in the same boat as him would not end well——for example, the Yao family in Shanghai, who was in cahoots with Shen Yu at the beginning, was still smeared everywhere on the Internet. And then there was CEO Tao of FlyNews always being slandered on the internet; another example was the Lin family in Hong Kong, who supported Shen Yu and vigorously pressured the organizers of the Golden Crow Award to award the Best Newcomer Award to Shen Yu, and also opposed CEO Tao everywhere. Even Lin Rong’an who didn’t forget to hire thugs even when fleeing with the money ended up reaping his own consequences…..

Huh? If you put it that way, it seemed that a certain someone had been hanging on to CEO Tao continuously since their debut, and then the two of them became each other’s foible. When one was smooth sailing the other would meet with misfortune.

Some gossip tabloids who just want gimmicks for sales immediately start irresponsible conspiracy theories involving so-called numerology, and also invited Feng Shui masters to say that a certain someone and Tao Mu’s birthdate characters were inconsistent, so the two were destined to repel each other.

However, this remark was immediately strongly criticized by the Ceramics. What Tao Mu’s fans hated the most was a certain someone who kept tying himself up with Tao Mu since he debuted. In the eyes of these fans, a certain someone couldn’t be compared with their Boss Tao in terms of aptitude and ability, and even if he desperately tried to tie himself to Boss Tao by relying on his fake young master background. He was like a piece of dogskin plaster for so many years, one that couldn’t be torn off no matter how it was torn. Now, after great difficulty, SARFT had issued a ban order, and major media were not allowed to mention a certain someone in their reports. Yet, these gossip media were still vaguely hinting indirectly and directly for sales, which was simply disgusting.

After being blocked by SARFT for so long, most of Shen Yu’s fans have already climbed the wall. The fan ecology of the entertainment industry was so forgetful. If an idol didn’t show up for three months, it was easy to be left behind. What was more, since Shen Yu’s debut two years ago, there were not many good works by him, instead all kinds of scandals and hype and black history continuously popped out. Not only did Tao Mu’s fans hate him, but Yan Sheng’s fans and most of the fans of the female stars Shen Yu had worked with didn’t like this person. In this state of everyone shouting and spitting at this guy, even if there were people who really liked Shen Yu, they were too embarrassed to jump out and speak for Shen Yu.

When other media saw that mentioning Shen Yu failed to attract the attention of netizens, and instead caused them to be constantly dissed by various fans, they gradually stopped tying Tao Mu and Shen Yu together. Then the conversation changed, and the different performances of the two actors of Yan Yu in the film were mentioned again.

“Black and White” was being released in the mainland, and many pirated DVDs of the Hong Kong version have flowed into the mainland. Fans who liked to watch movies couldn’t help but have a sneak peek. At this time, after watching the mainland remake, of course, they had a lot to say. After leaving the cinema, they expressed some thoughts on watching the movie, and very much agreed with the film critics that the Hong Kong version was more classic, complete and profound, but the mainland version had all the acting skills online, and the ending was more atmospheric and more in line with mainstream values.

Once again connecting to a certain actor who was not good at acting and still insisted on running the Best Newcomer Award, this comparison directly led to Gu Yuzhang, who was truly authentic and had online acting skills, immediately standing out and inexplicably becoming popular.

As the word-of-mouth evaluation of the mainland remake of “Black and White” was so good, even the box office was also rising as a result, breaking through 400 million box office in half a month.

Wealth moved people’s hearts. This time, even director Xu Musen, who was very stubborn about the audit requirements of SARFT, closed his mouth. Film art was important, but money was more valuable. Even the most artistic filmmakers have to eat. What was more, the film “Black and White” had nothing to do with art films at all in terms of subject matter, it was a commercial film with a gunfight theme. If a commercial film could make money, what kind of bike did you even need! (TN: what more can you ask for)

Looking at the box office data jumping at least tens of millions every day, Xu Musen was very happy, but also very grateful to Tao Mu for his help at that time. The entire production team of “Black and White” knew that if Tao Mu hadn’t mediated and played the leading producer role, the mainland version of “Black and White” would not have passed the review of SARFT so quickly, and it would have been impossible for it to be released in such a timely manner.

Although Tao Mu was the producer of the mainland remake version of “Black and White”, and also made a lot of money, the majority of the profits were still on the side of the Hong Kong production team. Of course, there were also several main actors who brought money into the crew. Including the Shen Group who didn’t deal with Tao Mu very much.

Equally happy was SARFT, this higher-level department that was often scolded and blamed by filmmakers. Although “Black and White” was a big hit at the mainland box office and had a good reputation, it was not directly related to the auditing department of SARFT. But for a long time, the behavior of all filmmakers throwing the pot on SARFT when the box office was not ideal had made SARFT’s image in the eyes of the public more and more embarrassing.

Now there was finally a good work that could even be said to surpass the original, not only selling at the box office, but most importantly the word of mouth as a whole even faintly surpassing the Hong Kong version. The SARFT gentlemen were absolutely proud. They even took the initiative to ask Tao Mu when he would hold a celebration party for the release of “Black and White” in the mainland.

Tao Mu heard this tactful inquiry and knew the meaning, immediately saying: “I originally wanted to hold a celebration party after it has finished releasing in the mainland. This way I can coordinate the schedule with all parties. But I didn’t expect “Black and White” to be so popular in the mainland. If we can advance the celebration, maybe it can even stimulate the box office.”

Then, he invited the leaders of SARFT to participate in the celebration. After all, the mainland version of “Black and White” was a great success, and the active participation of the leaders of SARFT also contributed to it. One must know that after the mainland version of “Black and White” was approved by SARFT, the SARFT leaders felt that the film was of good quality, and even took the initiative to help Tao Mu negotiate with the theater distributors to arrange the film slots.

Therefore, Tao Mu saying that the leaders of SARFT contributed a lot was not just a compliment.

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

This was what the SARFT leaders wanted. The old gentlemen and the old ladies were very temperamental, and they have always been reluctant to communicate with those Hong Kong filmmakers who always slander them for not understanding movies. But if the situation flipped and SARFT was victorious, that would be different.

There was nothing wrong at all with having a celebratory dinner together. After all, Tao Mu was such a smart, sensible and capable child, they were all just going for Tao Mu’s sake to support their child.

As if they wanted to go slap the faces of some artistic people who claim to know movies well!

“Shen Yu wants to see me?”

Tao Mu stayed at home until the fifth day of the New Year. After the fifth day, after eating the dumplings, the other actors from the cast of “Soldier Elite” returned to the army, and they did not forget to organize the company’s artists to the army for a New Year’s performance. As a result, just after the New Year’s performance ended, Tao Mu received a call from his Xiao Qi Dad. Apparently Shen Yu was actually guarding the door of FlyNews headquarters every day, just to see Tao Mu.

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

“What for?” As soon as Tao Mu heard the words “Shen Yu”, he felt a headache and had a physiological stomach ache. He couldn’t help but complain: “Xiao Qi Dad, don’t pay attention to him.”

“I don’t want to pay attention to him. But he is like a stone pestle at the entrance of FlyNews headquarters every day, and he won’t go away. The employees who come and go and the partners of other companies and departments can see it. If it wasn’t for the SARFT ban on him, I’m afraid the photos of him guarding the gate of FlyNews headquarters would have been posted on the Internet already.”

When Meng Qi mentioned this, he also felt a headache: “And his brainless fans, who knows where they got the news, also came to accompany him. Making it seem that there are demonstrations at the entrance of our company headquarters, and the impact is very bad.”

Tao Mu frowned in displeasure: “What the hell does he want?”

“He refused to communicate with me, he just said he wanted to see you.” If he wasn’t worried that Shen Yu’s continued nuisance would have a bad influence on FlyNews.com, Meng Qi wouldn’t bother to pay attention to this young man with a problem in his brain circuit.

Tao Mu’s chest felt a little tight. Involuntarily, he thought of the past life, after Shen Yu was kicked out of the Shen family by him, he also stood guarding the door of the Shen Group. He knew what Shen Yu was like, and to a certain extent, he would not give up until his goals were achieved. If Tao Mu didn’t show up, Shen Yu could really stand in front of FlyNews headquarters for half a year. But the key was that Tao Mu was truly not interested, nor had the time or energy to accompany Shen Yu to continue playing. He was too busy to even deal with his own serious business!

Putting down the phone, Tao Mu pondered for a moment, then called Shen Chen. Shen Chen and Shen Shiyuan were both in Shenzhen, busy acquiring the listed company of Yu Qingqing’s husband’s family. Speaking of which, Yu Qingqing’s husband was also really in love with Yu Qingqing. Not only did he change the company’s name to Aiqing Trading, but also the company’s legal person was listed with Yu Qingqing’s name. Before when Yu Qingqing was brought to court by Mrs. Shen for the crime of abandonment, Aiqing Trading was also implicated. Yu Qingqing’s husband managed to settle the turmoil caused by Yu Qingqing’s imprisonment. But before he could help Yu Qingqing run her medical parole, the Shen Group had already pounced over eagerly. On the one hand, they conspired with Shenzhen City Bank to cut off the loans of Aiqing Trading, and on the other hand, they instructed Zhuo Yan to snipe the shares of Aiqing Trading in the stock market. In addition, they even contacted other shareholders of Aiqing Trading several times and actively acquired other shareholders’ shares. As a result, Yu Qingqing’s husband was attacked by the enemy on all sides.

When Shen Chen received Tao Mu’s call, the Shen Group’s acquisition of Aiqing Trading was basically coming to an end. Yu Qingqing’s husband had already disarmed and surrendered, and the only request was to have the Shen family release Yu Qingqing and agree to Yu Qingqing’s medical parole.

However, Mrs. Shen deeply resented Yu Qingqing’s cruel act of abandoning her child, and was not willing to compromise on this matter at all. Chairman Shen also didn’t want to give the outside world the impression that even the hatred of murdering his own son could be easily bought. Only Shen Chen felt that one should leave a life line in everything, so it was easier to see each other in the future. But as said before, Shen Chen’s current position made it difficult for him to speak easily. So as not to leave a cold, ruthless eldest brother image to the Shen parents. Therefore, after thinking about it, he hesitated, and did not provide Shen Shiyuan and his wife with a more rational choice. As a result, both sides stagnated.

Tao Mu made this call to Shen Chen to remind Shen Chen not to forget that the two of them had a tacit agreement. Tao Mu would not covet the Shen family, and Shen Chen would also help Tao Mu to resist the troubles from the Shen family. Now Shen Yu was guarding the headquarters of FlyNews every day, which brought a lot of negative effects to the work and image of FlyNews.com. Tao Mu couldn’t communicate with Shen Yu, so he could only talk to Shen Yu’s backers.

“I understand.” Shen Chen squeezed the bridge of his nose and said tiredly, “I will call Shen Yu and ask him to leave Beijing as soon as possible. He will not trouble you in the future.”

As he spoke, Shen Chen suddenly smiled and couldn’t help but comment: “You and Mr. Li are indeed worthy of being the best partners, even behaving and doing things in the same way. Back then, when Shen Yu troubled Mr. Li because of the fans spreading rumors, Mr. Li also gave us a call and told the elders of the Shen family to educate Shen Yu well. Unfortunately, Shen Yu is not a true Shen family member. And there is also a real problem with the education of our Shen family. “

This topic was a little too personal. Tao Mu didn’t believe that with Shen Chen’s shrewd methods, he would not know that he was in a relationship with Li Xiaoheng. Tao Mu knew that the reason why Shen Chen said these words was just a habitual joke. He wanted to use this behavior to bring him closer to Tao Mu. If Tao Mu had a good opinion of him, or if he recognized Shen Chen as a relative from the bottom of his heart, he would even have the illusion that the two of them had a good relationship because of this remark. Even if Tao Mu had a so-so impression of him, when he heard such words, he would only feel that Shen Chen was apologizing to Tao Mu for the problem of the Shen family’s education. Of course, this was also mixed with the emotion that Shen Chen felt that his “elder brother duties” were difficult.

With just such an offhand remark, Shen Chen could hit several birds with one stone. It was a pity that Tao Mu was no longer the orphan in his previous life who would fall for this and be grateful after just a few words of charity. Shen Chen’s goodwill was destined to be thrown to a blind and deaf man.

Noticing Tao Mu’s silence, Shen Chen didn’t mind either. Before Tao Mu hung up the phone, he couldn’t help complaining to Tao Mu: “The acquisition project here in Shenzhen is a little troublesome…..I can understand my mother’s hatred for Yu Qingqing. In her opinion, the real Shen child was abandoned while just an infant, and must definitely have met with misfortune. As a mother, she wants to avenge her child and wants the murderer to get the end she deserves, which is understandable.”

Shen Chen was just worried that if the Shen family were so aggressive, Yu Qingqing’s husband, who had hit all dead ends, would be forced to jump over the wall: “And that Zhuo Yan, he has done a lot of things recently. He actually secretly met Yu Qingqing’s husband a few times. Don’t know what they were talking about.”

“Fortunately, the project of acquiring Aiqing Trading is coming to an end, and there is no need to continue to spend energy on the stock market. It just so happens that you have asked me to deal with Shen Yu, how about I have Zhuo Yan go to Beijing to pick him up?”

Speaking of which, Shen Chen had suspected that Tao Mu had something to do with Zhuo Yan before. However, he carefully observed for more than half a year and found that the two had no communication at all except for the two meetings in Hong Kong. Shen Chen had always been a thoughtful and meticulous person. Since he didn’t find anything tricky, he felt compelled to apologize to Tao Mu. In other words, no matter whether Shen Chen’s heart was completely cleared of doubts, at least in the absence of conclusive evidence, Shen Chen was still willing to show his goodwill to Tao Mu, and express his trust and magnanimity.

However, when Tao Mu heard Shen Chen’s words, he couldn’t help but startle. He thought of Zhuo Yan, who inexplicably hooked up with Shen Yu in the previous life, and Zhuo Yan’s betrayal of him. And also in this life, what Shen Chen told him about Zhuo Yan’s life experience.

Tao Mu felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he inevitably added: “Isn’t Zhuo Yan Shen Yan’s boyfriend? Isn’t it not good for you to let him contact Shen Yu too much?”

“You are worrying too much.” Shen Chen chuckled lightly: “One is the daughter of the Shen family, and the other is the adopted son who is not related by blood. With Zhuo Yan’s shrewdness, he will know how to choose the right one.”

Not necessarily. Tao Mu frowned slightly, and heard Shen Chen suddenly say with emotion, “Are you caring about Yan Yan just now?”

Tao Mu was stunned when he heard the words: “What?”

“The old saying goes that blood is thicker than water——”

Before Shen Chen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Tao Mu: “This is the end of the conversation, Mr. Shen can arrange things yourself.”

Hearing the beeping tone from the receiver, Shen Chen raised his eyebrows expressionlessly. The next second, he called Zhuo Yan: “Go to Beijing. Bring Shen Yu to Shenzhen.”

“Shen Yu?” Zhuo Yan was instantly surprised. He probably didn’t expect that Shen Chen would call him specifically for such a trivial matter.

“That’s right.” Shen Chen explained: “You can set off now and book the nearest flight. Pick him up tonight.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhuo Yan stared at the phone with a confused expression. For a long time, he thought that the Shen family didn’t care about Shen Yu, the adopted son. Especially after Mrs. Shen drove Shen Yu out of the Shen family, and the Shen family took away all the property under Shen Yu’s name, Zhuo Yan felt that Shen Yu was of little use now. Not to mention that some time ago, because of the trouble Shen Yu caused, the Shen family even sent him far away to Hong Kong. Later, when Shen Yu was accused and detained for stealing Tao Mu’s hair for DNA identification, the Shen family did not come forward to bail Shen Yu out. In Zhuo Yan’s eyes, these actions simply meant that while the Shen family might not have given up Shen Yu completely, at least they did not take this child to heart.

But now it seemed that, no matter what the rest of the Shen family thought, Shen Chen was able to take his attention away during such a tense time for the acquisition, and even arranged for him to go to Beijing to pick up Shen Yu. This move at least showed that Shen Chen cared about Shen Yu.

Shen Yu’s delicate and elf-like facial features flashed in front of Zhuo Yan’s eyes. He thought of those admirers who were always attracted to Shen Yu involuntarily, and then thought of how Shen Chen and Shen Yu were not related by blood…..

Zhuo Yan, who felt he had caught a glimpse of some secret, suddenly came to a realization, and let out a curious laugh.

With Tao Mu’s care and assurance, the knot in Li Xiaoheng’s heart dissipated immediately. After dinner that night, he wanted to invite Tao Mu to a movie date. It was also the mainland remake of the widely acclaimed “Black and White” that was being released.

As the producer of the mainland remake of “Black and White”, Tao Mu had kept watch on the editing process during the entire filming and post-production period to the point he was practically sick of it. With his eyes closed, he could recite the entire film’s lines backwards. However, Li Xiaoheng had not seen the mainland version of the movie.

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

Tao Mu could understand ​​Li Xiaoheng’s thinking. It should be that he didn’t want to miss any of the works that he participated in. On the day of the mainland premiere of “Black and White”, Tao Mu took his family to watch the movie as usual. Only Li Xiaoheng was left alone. He originally wanted to go with everyone from the Li family but for some reason, he couldn’t muster up enough energy in his heart, so he didn’t go.

Thinking of this, Tao Mu suddenly said, “When I make movies or TV dramas in the future, you can also be an investor.” In this way, they could walk the red carpet or attend award ceremonies together in the name of work.

Li Xiaoheng’s eyes lit up and he blurted out, “Okay.”

After a pause, he asked again, “However, will this cause trouble for your work?”

Tao Mu smiled and said, “How will it be trouble to find investors for my films and dramas. But for you, so long as you are willing to trust my investment vision then it’s fine.”

Li Xiaoheng smiled when he heard these words: “You are originally my unique investment advisor and I obey all your words. If I don’t trust you, who would I trust.”

Underlying these words, there was an uncontrollable affectionate feeling and proud delight.

Proud of his good eyesight, he was able to see Tao Mu’s good immediately, and worked hard to try to pursue Tao Mu, and in the end successfully kept him by his side. Delighted that Tap Mu also cared about him the same. Not only did he discover the awkwardness he was trying to hide, but he also took the initiative to comfort him. And he even went to the effort to find a reason for them to walk the red carpet and attend the awards ceremony together.

Li Xiaoheng suddenly remembered what Tao Mu had said before. Tao Mu said that a relationship needed the joint efforts of both parties to maintain. If only one person made any effort, they would be very tired and unhappy over time. Li Xiaoheng didn’t think so before. But thinking about it now, he couldn’t help but be convinced.

It turned out that two people working together to maintain a relationship, and being cared for by the one you loved was such a good feeling.

There was no expression on CEO Li’s face. But during the process of watching the movie, including the entire first month of the new year, he maintained a state of happiness. In the words of the Li family’s secret joking of their old fashioned eldest brother, that was, the sour smell of love exuded all over his body.

This year, because he was cherished by his lover in return and had their relationship recognized by both families, CEO Li’s days were quite nourishing indeed.

In comparison, Lin Rong’an, who secretly ran away, was having quite the rough time.

As Tao Mu had expected, after learning that the secret of him hiring a killer was revealed, in order to avoid being caught by the police, Lin Rong’an pried open the Lin family’s manor safe and ran away with all the cash and precious jewelry. Of course, when Lin Rong’an ran away, he didn’t forget who caused him to be in this situation.

At this point, Lin Rong’an’s obsession with Tao Mu was no longer that of love, but hatred. It was a life-and-death hatred of Tao Mu who caused the fall of the Lin family.

Lin Rong’an wanted revenge. So after running away, Lin Rong’an didn’t hide out with the cash and jewelry in a small country to temporarily avoid the limelight, but took the initiative to contact some outlaws in the underworld, wanting to buy Tao Mu’s life with money. But even if they were outlaws, so long as they possessed a working brain, they knew that Tao Mu’s identity was not easy to mess with, and knew even more that the mainland was strictly controlled, and it was not so easy to make a move against Tao Mu.

Therefore, after Lin Rong’an went through all the troubles he only managed to find a group of destitute outlaws who were like a group of stray dogs. Apparently, these people offended a certain gang boss in Hong Kong, and the boss issued a bounty to inform the police about the clues of this group of people. Under the heavy reward, these people have almost no place to stand in Hong Kong, and they could only make money and leave Hong Kong as soon as possible. For money, these people were willing to do anything. And it just so happened that Lin Rong’an had money in his hand.

The two sides hit it off. Lin Rong’an spent most of the money in his hands on taking Tao Mu’s life. He made an agreement with these outlaws to pay half of the deposit first, and then pay the other half when Tao Mu was dead. Lin Rong’an had a good plan, but he didn’t know that the moment he hooked up with the outlaws, and the money was revealed, the outlaws didn’t just want this commission from Lin Rong’an but all of Lin Rong’an’s money.

——He was just a rich hedonistic young master from a wealthy family who absconded in fear of crime, and these outlaws with blood on their hands felt no pressure at all about killing and robbing him. Although Lin Rong’an possessed a bit of scheming and shrewdness, he had lived in the comfortable and wealthy upper-class circle for the first half of his life, and he had never dealt with these kinds of people who only cared about money and had no respect for life, not even their own. Despite being on guard day and night, there was still a moment of negligence, and the outlaws took advantage of it.

If it wasn’t for Lin Rong’an maintaining a wariness when he made contact with the outlaws, and didn’t carry the money with him. In order to force the whereabouts of the money, this group of outlaws did not dare to silence Lin Rong’an directly. It was very likely that Lin Rong’an wouldn’t even be able to wait for Liang Shuwen to bring the police to make an arrest——

That’s right, this group of outlaws that Lin Rong’an came into contact with happened to be the enemy of the Liang family. Before, they had secretly contacted the gang elders who were not happy with the whitewashing of the Liang family, and wanted to kidnap Liang Shuwen and force old Mr. Liang to hand over the power of the gang only for the conspiracy to be exposed. Old Mr. Liang was furious. While offering a reward for their arrest, he collected the criminal evidence of several gang elders and handed it over to the police. And even cooperated with the police to hunt down these outlaws who had many lives on their hands.

In the end, it happened that he coincidentally rescued Lin Rong’an, who had been tortured, from the hideout of these outlaws. When he was brought out, all his tendons and hamstrings were cut, and there were barely any few pieces of good flesh on his thighs.

Speaking of which, the Liang family father and son had promised Tao Mu that they would pay close attention to Lin Rong’an’s whereabouts. This criminal who harbored ill will towards CEO Tao would not go unpunished. In the end, they found this man, but Lin Rong’an also suffered the consequences. Seeing his current fate, he might as well have been arrested directly by the police.

At least if he had gone to jail, he would definitely not be so miserable.

The scene at that time was so bloody that even the well-experienced Hong Kong police felt shocked. They immediately contacted the hospital and sent Lin Rong’an for emergency treatment. The gossip media, who have always been well-informed, also arrived having followed the scent, not only taking pictures of the bloody scene where the outlaws had tortured Lin Rong’an, but also taking pictures of Lin Rong’an’s bloody state. That scene was like the capital punishment death of a thousand cuts employed in ancient times.

In fact, when Lin Rong’an was cut by the outlaws for the first time, he was already unable to put up resistance anymore. He was pampered since he was a child, and was a person who even had to go to the hospital to bandage a cut on his finger, so how could he have endured this kind of pain. However, Lin Rong’an was more afraid of death than pain. So he could only grit his teeth and hold on. Because he knew that it only meant death to confess. If he held on and didn’t reveal anything, there might be a chance to survive.

Lin Rong’an was not a good person. It could be seen from his choice to abscond with the money regardless of his family’s life and death when the Lin family fell apart that he was an extremely selfish person. Therefore, even if Lin Rong’an nearly died from the pain, he absolutely couldn’t let those outlaws kill him and then get away with his money. Just like when he hated Tao Mu deeply and didn’t forget to buy a murderer to take his life even in the middle of running away.

As soon as the news report came out, the entire Hong Kong and even the whole of China were shocked and stunned. One reason was that they didn’t expect that those outlaws would be so crazy and dare to do such a thing. In addition, they did not expect that the third son of the Lin family, who was so proud and handsome back then, would end up like this. However, with the in-depth follow-up reports, many people learned that the reason why Lin Rong’an ended up like this was entirely because he took the initiative to contact those outlaws, and even wanted to repeat his old tricks of hiring thugs. Netizens who originally sympathized with Lin Rong’an were instantly speechless.

Sure enough, this was called if you don’t do, you won’t die, right? If it wasn’t for Lin Rong’an’s desire to take revenge on CEO Tao, he wouldn’t have provoked those outlaws. So now all his suffering was really self-inflicted. This crowd of melon eaters all relished this news. There were even gossip paparazzi who were not afraid of death and sneaked into the hospital to ask Lin Rong’an how he felt now? Only to be beaten away by Lin Rong’an’s mother who almost went insane.

When the news reached the mainland, mainland officials were also shocked. They couldn’t imagine that the underworld forces in Hong Kong were so rampant and immediately ordered to strictly rectify the underground forces in Hong Kong. Because the Liang family was from the underworld, they were also implicated in this crackdown. But fortunately, the Liang family father and son have been thinking about whitewashing, and have not done illegal things for many years. In addition, Liang Shuwen was almost kidnapped this time. In order to retaliate against the gang elders, old Mr. Liang simply handed over all the illegal and criminal evidence of these gang elders to the police. Now he was considered a witness with a criminal taint. Compared to the gang members who were hit hard, they were protected instead.

However, the power of the Liang family was greatly damaged by this incident. Old Mr. Liang was also sentenced to seven years in prison because of the solid evidence of his involvement in the management of gang affairs. Liang Shuwen, a white paper fan of the gang, was also accused of organizing and participating in underworld activities. However, although Liang Shuwen had been involved in gang management since graduating from university, he was mainly responsible for the gang’s legal businesses. As for other accusations, due to insufficient evidence or old Mr. Liang taking on the responsibility himself. In the end, Liang Shuwen was acquitted.

Not long after old Mr. Liang was imprisoned, he was sent to the hospital for treatment due to a heart attack. Considering old Mr. Liang’s age and physical fitness, and his previous positive performance in making up for his crimes, the police decided to allow old Mr. Liang to be released on medical parole after comprehensive consideration. At this point, old Mr. Liang could finally spend his retirement in peace. And Liang Shuwen continued to take care of the Liang family’s whitewashed businesses after the gang collapsed. However, he did not keep the money, but still sent the money in the form of wages to the family members of old Mr. Liang’s loyal subordinates who were now in prison for various crimes.

Because Hong Kong was cracking down on the underworld forces, many of those small fish who slipped away and blamed the Liang family father and son for betraying everyone, did not dare to make any moves. Therefore, although the Liang family’s vitality was severely damaged, their business was still able to be maintained with some difficulty. Most importantly, personal safety was guaranteed. They didn’t have to live in fear every day like before.

Compared with the peace of mind of the Liang family’s father and son, Lin Rong’an, who suffered from his own consequences, seemed less fortunate. After finally surviving at the hands of those outlaws, he had to face severe punishment from the laws of Hong Kong. Although he could apply for medical parole because of his serious injuries, originally a healthy person had now become a crippled person who could only remain paralyzed on the bed, and even needed help to go to the toilet…..

Knowing Lin Rong’an’s fate, the victims who were raped by Lin Rong’an clapped their hands and cheered, and even went to the hospital with flower wreaths to visit the patient. Lin Rong’an, who had always been proud and arrogant, couldn’t bear this humiliation, but he didn’t have the courage to die. He could only take out his anger on the people around him. Gradually, because of Lin Rong’an’s bad temper, even Lin Rong’an’s mother rarely came to the hospital to care for him and just paid for a carer.

When Tao Mu found out about all this, most of the 2010 New Year holiday had passed. He was preparing to return to the army for training with all the actors of the “Soldier Elite” crew. When he saw the news reports on the Internet, he couldn’t help but think of everything from his previous life and instantly let out a sigh.

Shen Yu, who also stayed in the hospital for a long time and was just discharged, also saw this news. He was stunned to learn that the reason why Lin Rong’an suffered all these misfortunes was entirely because he wanted to hire outlaws to kill Tao Mu.
