At this thought, many people had already decided to side with Luo Chen.
After all, that was the richest man and the number one on the Tianlong List. Either identity alone would be enough to crush the Shen family.
Let alone both identities combined.
Shen Yuelan no longer wanted to say anything. She had never felt so proud.
They always say parents hope their sons will become dragons. Her own precious son actually was a dragon.
This precious son had brought her so much honour that Shen Yuelan felt she would wake up laughing even in her dreams.
With such a son in her life, what more could she possibly wish for.
It took Shen Tianjun a long while to recover. Overwhelming regret washed over him. The Shen family had made a grave mistake of the highest degree.
They had assumed Shen Yuelan’s son was just an ordinary poor boy from a county town.
Who would have known that his background was immense to the extreme, so vast that the Shen family would have to look up to it.
Shen Tianjun suddenly remembered the mocking words he had directed at Luo Chen during the funeral. Every single sentence was now a harsh slap in his own face.
Did he lack a mansion.
Did he lack a sports car.
Did he lack respect from others.
He was the richest man.
He was the number one on the Tianlong List.
When had he ever needed to obtain anything from the Shen family.
Because the things he possessed were things even the Shen family would never have.
He probably saw himself as a clown and a fool in Luo Chen’s eyes when he originally said those words to him.
And all of this should originally have belonged to the Shen family.
If they had not been greedy for Shen Yuelan’s assets, and had welcomed Luo Chen home warmly when he arrived in Yanjing, throwing him a proper celebration.
Then perhaps things would not have ended up like this.
The Shen family was nearly finished.
Having offended the richest man and the number one on the Tianlong List, how could the Shen family possibly expect any good days ahead.
That was his own grandson, his flesh and blood, yet he had single handedly driven him to this state.
How utterly foolish was that.
“Shen Tianjun, you probably never saw this coming.” A cold sneer suddenly rang out.
It was a middle aged man. The moment Shen Yuelan saw him, her eyes instantly filled with tears. The person she had longed for day and night had finally arrived.
“You, how are you still alive?” Shen Tianjun spoke as if he had seen a ghost.
He had clearly hired over a dozen internal energy experts to kill Luo’s father. For an ordinary person like him, there was absolutely no chance or room for survival.
But the moment those words left his mouth, he regretted it, as it was equivalent to exposing himself.
“Shen Tianjun, what a cruel heart you have.” Shen Yuelan’s expression changed instantly.
She was no fool. How could she fail to understand what Shen Tianjun meant.
“Heh, of course I am still alive. Have you not looked at what kind of person my son is?” Luo’s father said, looking at Shen Tianjun with a cold sneer.
“And Shen Yucheng, I trust you have been well?” Luo’s father sneered as he stepped forward.
Then he slapped Shen Yucheng across the face with a sharp crack.
Shen Yucheng was stunned on the spot, but he did not dare to fight back.
With dozens of grandmasters now standing on Luo Chen’s side, would he dare to retaliate.
“Do you still remember over twenty years ago, when I knelt at this gate and begged you.”
“Begging you to spare Yuelan, but how did you treat me back then, Shen Yucheng.”
“A whole gang of lackeys punched and kicked me.”
“I said I would return that slap you gave me.” No matter how good tempered Luo’s father was, he could never let go of what happened back then.
He and Shen Yuelan had come to the Shen family, only to be mocked, met with disdainful looks, and even severely beaten in the end.
“Shen Tianjun, you never expected today would come, did you.” Luo’s father was extremely agitated.
“Back then you looked down on me, mocked me, and ridiculed me, forcing me to flee Yanjing like a beaten dog.”
“But what about today?” Luo’s father sneered.
“Were your actions still right.”
“Luo Chen is my son, a member of the Luo family.” Luo’s father roared, clearly having suffered immense humiliation back then.
“Do you still have the right to mock me and look down on me.”
“Shen Tianjun, oh Shen Tianjun, you were clever all your life, yet foolish for a moment. If you had not treated me that way back then, how could things have reached this state today?” Luo’s father sneered.
“I do not regret it. You won today.” Shen Tianjun suddenly spoke.
“But so what.”
“Today is my birthday. You may leave. You have had your humiliation. You can go now.” Shen Tianjun roared.
“Now, get out.” Shen Tianjun yelled.
“Get out?” Luo Chen gave a light chuckle.
“The ones who should get out are you, are they not?” Luo Chen said disdainfully.
“What do you mean?” Shen Tianjun stared blankly at Luo Chen.
“Do you think I travelled all this way just to humiliate you?” Luo Chen shook his head.
“I am not that bored.”
“I can only say, sorry, but this place now belongs to the Luo family.” Luo Chen gave a cold sneer.
Shen Tianjun was about to sneer back, but several bank officials arrived from the other side.
“Apologies, Elder Shen. Your eldest son mortgaged the house to the bank to raise funds. The deadline has now passed. The property has not only been repossessed, but it has also been successfully auctioned off to Mr Luo.” A highly senior bank manager had come in person.
This was certainly not standard procedure, but given Luo Chen’s connections, did he need to follow standard procedure.
Shen Tianjun looked at the signature on the mortgage document. His breath caught, and he spat a mouthful of fresh blood.
“By the way, I must remind you of one thing. Regarding the joint project, your family breached the contract. The initial investment is gone, and it has actually caused us losses. Therefore, we have already filed a lawsuit against the Shen family.”
“I imagine you will receive the court summons very soon.” Master Zhang spoke slowly.
“The project funds are gone?” Shen Yucheng collapsed to the ground at once.
“There is nothing we can do. That is simply the fact.”
“Or you could try to hold the Rothschild family accountable.” Master Zhang sneered.
The Shen family had mortgaged almost all their assets to raise that sum of money.
Master Zhang had even encouraged Shen Yucheng to mortgage this entire estate.
And now they were saying the money was gone.
“You all conspired this together. You bunch of frauds.” Shen Yucheng roared.
“Mr Shen, you must have evidence before you speak. I can sue you for defamation.”
“Furthermore, you were the one who begged me initially. I only agreed to cooperate because I took pity on you.” Master Zhang sneered.
“Oh, and I forgot to mention. This means the Shen family currently does not have a single penny left.” Master Zhang smiled.
Leaving such matters to Master Zhang naturally ensured they were handled flawlessly.
“You are setting a trap. You are deliberately sabotaging the Shen family.” Shen Yucheng refused to accept it.
“Hmph, to put it bluntly, so what if we did sabotage your family.” “Go ahead and sue. Try to find a way to sue.” Master Zhang had handled all the follow up matters without a single flaw. The Shen family simply had no grounds to sue.
