Chapter 18: Young Uncle, Do You Dare to Bet?
Shen Jun laughed dryly. “Yanzhou, your words make no sense! Without evidence, the Old Master won’t make wild guesses either!”
Shen Yanzhou held the steering wheel with one hand, the other resting casually on the window frame.
Unhurried.
“If Grandfather knew that immediately after talking to Fourth Cousin, you contacted the killer who killed the Master and sent him away… guess whether Grandfather would make wild guesses?”
The corner of Shen Junâs mouth twitched violently.
He hadn’t expected Shen Yanzhou to have this card!
Last night, after speaking with Shen Yanhui, he knew Shen Yanhui was completely unreliable.
So he immediately contacted the killer, whom he had always contacted via a single line, and sent him to a small country across the border overnight.
He hadn’t expected that this was Shen Yanzhou’s strategy to beat the grass to startle the snake.
He deliberately let him confront Shen Yanhui to make him panic, and then tracked his movements!
Shen Jun felt like Shen Yanzhou was a cunning old hunter, forcing the prey into a desperate situation step by step!
Shen Yanzhou continued speaking at a leisurely pace.
“With all these things strung together, not to mention a smart person like Grandfather, even an ordinary person could probably guess the gist of the matter, right?”
His tone was peaceful, continuing to attack the heart.
“Grandfather hates internal family fighting the most. Do you think I could have accomplished the annihilation of Eldest Uncle’s family and Third Uncle’s imprisonment alone without Grandfather’s tacit approval?”
He chuckled. “Because of my parents’ car accident back then, Grandfather took his anger out on them too!”
As Shen Yanzhou spoke, his eyes darkened.
“I indeed don’t have substantive evidence regarding the ghost refining. However, I bet Grandfather will believe me. Young Uncle, do you dare to bet?”
Shen Yanzhouâs eyes were cold and dark, staring at the road ahead, a glint of bloodthirsty pleasure in them.
He bet Shen Jun wouldn’t dare!
Shen Jun was a man who always acted safely and flawlessly. Without complete assurance, he would never strike.
Once the Old Master believed that he had conspired with a nephew to murder another nephew, the 20% of Shen Group shares in his hands would very likely be taken back by the Old Master.
There was a deathly silence on the other end of the phone.
A long time passed.
“Shen Yanzhou!” Shen Jun asked through gritted teeth. “What do you want?”
Shen Yanzhouâs lips pulled into a cold sneer.
“Young Uncle, I can tell Grandfather that everything was done by Shen Yanhui alone. I won’t pursue it further. The condition is, I want your 8% of Shen Group shares.”
Shen Junâs heart instantly seized.
Shen Yanzhou continued to guide him patiently. “Young Uncle, rather than letting Grandfather turn hostile and take back all your shares, it’s better to accept my proposal. At least you won’t be cleared out.”
“I will arrive at the nursing home in twenty minutes. You can think it over during this time.”
“When you’ve thought it through, call me back.” With the deep intimidation of a superior, he finished speaking and hung up the phone sharply.
Shen Yanzhou took out a cigarette with one hand, lit it, and drove forward steadily.
He believed Shen Jun would weigh the pros and cons.
The reason he gave Shen Jun a chance to exchange shares wasn’t to give him a way out.
It was because he didn’t want Shen Jun’s shares to fall back into the Old Master’s hands.
If the Old Master took back the shares in Shen Jun’s hands, adding them to his own original 31%, he would become the controlling shareholder with 51%.
And he, holding 39%, would fall into a disadvantage.
He couldn’t let such a thing happen.
As for Shen Jun, he deserved to die because he almost got Lin Yuan killed.
And regarding his parents’ car accident back then, he must have known about it too.
It was just that he was only eleven at the time and couldn’t have truly participated.
But right now, there was no rush to get rid of him.
He had to get all the equity in his hands first, and then find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
When Shen Yanzhouâs car entered the suburbs, Shen Jun called.
As expected, he compromised.
Shen Yanzhou laughed secretly.
“Alright, Young Uncle. My special assistant is downstairs at your office now. I’ll have him go up to find you to sign the share transfer agreement.”
Hanging up, Shen Yanzhou immediately contacted his special assistant, Yue Ping.
He had already instructed Yue Ping in advance.
So Yue Ping immediately took the documents and got into the elevator.
Fifteen minutes later, Yue Ping called. It was done.
Shen Yanzhouâs exquisite eyebrows were dyed with a sharp, cold light.
He strode into the nursing home.
In the room, Old Master Shen was pacing back and forth angrily, leaning on his cane.
Seeing Shen Yanzhou enter, his face darkened even more.
“Shen Yanzhou, look at the good deed you’ve done!”
“What did Yanhui do wrong that you had to take his life?” The Old Master smashed the ground hard with his dragon-head cane.
His face was flushed with anger.
Shen Yanzhou walked up to him, his expression indifferent.
“Grandfather, please calm down.”
“Fourth Cousin’s car accident has nothing to do with me.”
“He colluded with a sorcerer to refine a ghost to deal with me.”
“I have an audio recording here; listen to it first.”
After speaking, he took out his phone and pressed play.
Shen Yanhuiâs voice came out.
“We were refining the ghost… to, to deal with you…”
“But this matter was the Young Uncle’s idea! I was just the errand boy…”
Hearing this, Old Master Shen looked stunned.
“Grandfather, Fourth Cousin said the matter was instigated by Young Uncle. I don’t know if it’s true or false. After all, we are brothers, so I let Fourth Cousin leave first and was preparing to come to you to ask for your judgment.”
“Who knew he would get into a car accident on the way?”
“Grandfather, think about it. Do I have a reason to kill Fourth Cousin?”
Old Master Shen fell silent.
This matter also involved Shen Jun?
In that case, Shen Yanzhou certainly had no reason to kill Shen Yanhui before the matter was investigated clearly.
Shen Jun, on the other hand, was very likely to kill to silence him!
Old Master Shen felt a chill down his spine.
If Shen Yanzhou found out that Shen Jun instigated it, given his ruthless nature of seeking revenge for the smallest grievance, his only remaining son probably couldn’t be saved either!
The fourth grandson was already dead; he couldn’t lose a son too!
Old Master Shenâs expression was indescribable, but it shifted from the earlier accusation to caution.
“Number Five, ah, Grandfather didn’t expect Yanhui to do such a sordid thing! You’ve been wronged!”
“Regarding the car accident, Grandfather believes you. Perhaps it was purely an accident!”
Shen Yanzhou nodded. “Thank you for your trust, Grandfather.”
Old Master Shen changed the subject. “Shen Yanhui said it was instigated by your Young Uncle. I don’t think so. He was probably a mad dog biting indiscriminately!”
After speaking, he secretly observed Shen Yanzhouâs expression without batting an eyelid.
Shen Yanzhou was unprecedentedly easy to talk to. “Yes, I also think this matter has nothing to do with Young Uncle. After all, there is no bad blood between us.”
The Old Master breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
“Yanzhou, Grandfather knows you aren’t a petty child. regarding this matter, since the instigator is already dead, you should calm down too!”
Shen Yanzhou nodded again. “Although Fourth Cousin did wrong, he is dead now, so I have nothing to pursue.”
Only then did the Old Master set his mind at ease.
He paced two more steps.
“Yanzhou, next month is your birthday. Grandfather doesn’t have much to show, so I’ll ask Uncle Zhang to transfer five million to you later, as a small token!”
Shen Yanzhou smiled. “Thank you, Grandfather.”
Leaving the nursing home, Shen Yanzhou sat in the car.
Looking at the deposit notification on his phone.
His eyes went cold.
The old man wanted to use five million to protect his son.
He didn’t care at all who the mastermind was or who wanted his life!
But it didn’t matter.
It had always been like this inside wealthy families.
He had never expected to get any warmth from these people named Shen.
He took out a slender, pure black cigarette, held it to his lips, and lit it. Squinting slightly, he took two deep drags.
Staring at the crimson glow.
He faintly developed an expectation.
In a trance, he looked forward to getting the thing he had longed for but never received from that little cub at home!
Thinking of Lin Yuan, his brows softened unknowingly.
He took out his phone and opened the monitoring program implanted in Lin Yuanâs new phone.
checked it.
No call records. He hadn’t called the police or anyone else.
Browsed some videos on WeChat.
When he saw a stranger named “Brother Jiang Ye” in his new WeChat friends list, his eyes instantly darkened.
“Calling him ‘Brother’ right after meeting?”
Wait, Jiang Ye?
That young master from the Jiang family in Haicheng was also named Jiang Ye.
Was it a coincidence?
Shen Yanzhou took a screenshot and sent it to Yue Ping.
“Check immediately if this WeChat ID belongs to the second young master of the Jiang family in Haicheng!”
“Yes, President Shen!”
The light in Shen Yanzhouâs eyes flickered uncertainly, and a muscle in his cheek jumped twice.
His long fingers tugged hard at his tie.
Biting the cigarette in the corner of his mouth, he started the car and sped toward home.
