Kangrui Hospital VIP ward.

Shi Heng dipped the cotton swab in warm water and leaned over to wipe Gu Youran's pale lips.

Shi Zhengyang paused as he held the door handle.

He saw his son replace the cotton swab with wet gauze and carefully moisten the dry corners of his daughter-in-law's mouth.

The movement was so skillful that it was frightening, as if he had done it a thousand times.

"What did the doctor say?" Shi Zhengyang walked to the bedside and spoke in a low voice.

"All indicators are normal." Shi Heng lifted the quilt to check the IV tube, his eyes never leaving Gu Youran's face. "But I don't know when he will wake up."

Shi Zhengyang looked at his son with mixed feelings.

These days, the internet is flooded with news that Gu Youran is Lenna.

Gu Youran gave her son an unforgettable 29th birthday.

But who could have thought that after the concert, Gu Youran fell into a coma.

How big of a blow is this to my son?

Shi Zhengyang didn't even know how to comfort her.

Shi Heng stood up and looked at his father gravely, "I want to ask you a favor."

"What's the matter?" Shi Zhengyang asked.

"I don't have time to pick up my mother." Shi Heng's voice was calm. "You go to Yuncheng and bring her back yourself."

Shi Zhengyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Are you giving me a chance?"

Shi Heng didn't answer, but just looked at him coldly.

Shi Zhengyang sighed and nodded, "Okay, I'll pick her up myself."

"I hope you can treat her well this time."

Shi Zhengyang nodded solemnly, "I will."

At this moment, the rapid tapping of crutches suddenly came from the corridor, accompanied by the messy rhythm of high heels.

Su Manyun supported the old lady of the Shi family and pushed the door open.

"Are you crazy?" Old Madam Shi slammed her dragon-headed cane to the ground. "How dare you break Shi Jue's leg!"

Shi Heng's expression was calm, his eyes fixed on Gu Youran's pale face. "Why don't you ask your good grandson what he did to Youbao?"

Shi Zhengyang turned his head abruptly, veins popping out on his forehead, "Shi Jue is the one who harmed Youran?"

"It's just a misunderstanding..." Su Manyun hadn't finished speaking.

Shi Heng suddenly grabbed the glass on the bedside table, flipped his wrist, and splashed water at Su Manyun's feet, startling her and making her stagger back.

"Who are you?" Shi Heng clasped his fingers around the rim of the cup. "Do you have the right to speak here?"

Old Madam Shi quickly tried to smooth things over, "Heng, Shi Jue's leg has been broken twice. The doctor said..."

"I want him to live a life worse than death." Shi Heng interrupted Old Lady Shi, "Break his bones once a day until they can no longer be connected."

Su Manyun suddenly knelt on the ground and grabbed Shi Heng's trouser legs, "Heng, I apologize to you..."

She raised her head, and a hint of resentment flashed in her tearful eyes.

Shi Heng pulled back, as if to avoid something dirty. "You should be kneeling, Youbao."

"This is outrageous!" The old lady swept her cane across, nearly toppling the IV stand to the ground. "From today on, you are no longer a member of the Shi family..."

"Mother."

Shi Zhengyang suddenly spoke, loosening his tie to reveal a hideous scar on the side of his neck. It was the knife wound left during the battle for inheritance twenty years ago. "At eight o'clock this morning, I transferred my 32% stake to Ah Heng."

The ward suddenly became dead silent.

Only the regular ticking of the heart monitor was heard.

The old lady staggered half a step, and her crutch fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Shi Heng bent down to pick up his crutches, leaned against the bed, and said in a terrifyingly calm voice, "Grandma, I have to go to the group's board meeting at nine o'clock."

He leaned over and tucked the corner of Gu Youran's quilt, his fingertips gently brushing the loose hair on her forehead. His voice suddenly became gentle, "After I clean up everyone who hurt you, you should wake up, right?"

Su Manyun's sobbing stopped abruptly.

She suddenly discovered that Shi Heng's fingers, which were stroking Gu Youran's hair, were trembling slightly.

That's not fear.

Rather, it is the excitement trembling of a beast before biting its prey.

…

8:50 am, Shi Group headquarters building.

Shi Heng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling city below.

The sunlight shone through the glass onto his straight suit, making him look cool yet sharp.

He held a document in his hand.

That was the plan he prepared for his father a month ago.

The edges of the paper were a little curled, and it was covered with dense annotations and revisions.

Records the thoughts of countless sleepless nights.

I didn't expect it would come in handy now.

It turned out that my father had already made a backup plan for himself.

He remembered that he didn't want to accept the offer at the time.

But my father said that only by standing tall and having enough strength can we protect the ones we love most.

Now is the time.

He wants to take back everything that belongs to him.

"Are you ready?" Shi Zhengyang pushed the door open and walked in.

Shi Heng turned around and said, "Father, you just need to sit there and watch."

Shi Zhengyang looked at his son and suddenly felt a little strange.

The boy who used to be silent in front of him has now grown into a man who is capable of taking control of the overall situation.

He patted Shi Heng's shoulder and said, "Let's go. The board members are here."

The two walked into the conference room one after the other. Both sides of the long table were already full of people.

Old Madam Shi sat in the main seat and glanced at Shi Heng with a cold gaze.

"Let's start." The old lady said.

The meeting begins.

The CFO stood up and said, "Mr. Shi, I think your decision to transfer 32% of your shares to Shi Heng needs to be reconsidered. Shi Heng is young and energetic, and I'm afraid he's not up to the task of leading the group."

Shi Zhengyang was about to speak, but Shi Heng raised his hand to stop him.

He stood up and glanced at everyone present. "You may have some misunderstandings about my abilities. Why not take a look at this first?"

He pressed the remote control in his hand, and a detailed financial statement and market analysis report immediately appeared on the projection screen.

"Over the past three years, the group's growth rate in traditional businesses has declined year by year, while the development of emerging markets has remained stagnant."

Shi Heng's voice echoed in the conference room. "And I have already reached strategic cooperation agreements with three international technology companies. I expect the group's profits to at least triple in the next five years."

There was an uproar in the conference room.

Several directors were whispering to each other, obviously shocked by the report.

"That's impossible!" an elderly director slammed the table and stood up. "How did you negotiate these collaborations? We haven't even heard a word about them!"

Shi Heng smiled slightly, "Because everyone's eyes are always stuck on the glory of the past. But I have already seen the direction of the future."

Old Madam Shi's face turned ashen. She gripped her cane tightly and said in a cold voice, "Shi Heng, don't be so arrogant. The group is not your toy alone."

"Of course not."

Shi Heng pulled a document from the folder and pushed it to the center of the table. "This is evidence that you have abused your positions for personal gain over the past five years."

"If this information is made public, what consequences do you think will occur?"
