Chapter 76 Your Shen family finally remembered that great fire

Shen Yuepo shrugged. "Believe it or not."

Shen Yuepo's nonchalant "Believe it or not" was like a cold awl, piercing Shen Wangchuan's last shred of hope.

Without further hesitation, he immediately took out his phone and dialed Chairman Shen's number.

As soon as the call connected, he spoke very quickly: "Dad, Yuepo just said that Uncle Zhang is the culprit behind the feng shui arrangement of the old house!"

A sharp gasp came from Chairman Shen on the other end of the phone, followed by an urgent order: "Take him to the study, immediately! Call the bodyguards!"

Old butler Zhang was soon "invited" into the study by two bodyguards.

Inside the study.

Chairman Shen sat on the sofa, his face ashen.

Madam Shen was helped to sit down by Shen Wangchuan. Still in shock, she looked at Uncle Zhang with fear and disbelief in her eyes.

Shen Yichuan stared fiercely at Uncle Zhang.

Standing in the center of the study, facing this scene, Zhang Bo maintained his humble and respectful demeanor, even showing a hint of bewilderment and fear:

"Chairman, Madam, Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, Eldest Miss... What... what happened? Why did you call the old man here?"

Chairman Shen stared intently at the face that was so familiar yet now seemed so unfamiliar.

He suppressed his anger and disappointment: "Zhang Zude, I'm asking you, is it you who orchestrated this harmful feng shui arrangement in the old house?!"

Uncle Zhang's face showed even greater bewilderment, and even a hint of grievance at being wronged:

"Chairman, what... what are you talking about? I've served the Shen family for almost twenty years, how would I know anything about these mystical things?"

As he spoke, his gaze seemed to casually sweep in the direction of Shen Yuepo.

Shen Yichuan suddenly stepped forward, his eyes bloodshot, and roared at Zhang Bo's nose, "Stop pretending! Shen Yuepo just said it himself! Tell me! Why did you do this?!"

"Miss Yuepo?" Uncle Zhang was slightly taken aback, then a helpless expression appeared on his face. "How can you believe such unsubstantiated claims, Chairman and Madam?"

Shen Yuepo, who had been silently staring at him, suddenly spoke, "Twenty-one years ago, in the southern suburbs of Qingchuan, there was a great fire at the Xingli Building Materials Factory."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the pretense on Zhang Bo's face crumbled the moment he heard the words "Xingli Building Materials Factory" and "fire".

His submissive humility disappeared, and his hunched back straightened a bit.

"Heh...heh heh heh..." He let out a chilling, low laugh, which grew louder and louder, filled with endless grief and indignation.

"For a full twenty-one years and three months, your Shen family... has finally remembered that fire? Finally remembered that life you bought off for a mere 100,000 yuan?!"

He suddenly pointed at Chairman Shen, his voice hoarse and distorted with hatred:

"Shen Tingxuan! My own brother, Zhang Zuyao! He was burned alive in the Xingli Building Materials Factory, which is controlled by your Shen family, by that damned factory manager, Li Guofu, who cut corners to save money!"

"What accident? It's that bastard Li Guofu's greed, and your Shen family's negligence in supervision!"

"My brother's body is barely cold, and your Shen family only gave 100,000 yuan in compensation. What a huge sum of money!" Uncle Zhang's voice was full of sarcasm and resentment.

"You fired Li Guofu and sent him to prison, do you think that's enough?! You think you can buy my brother's life with money?! You think we'll be grateful for that little bit of money?!"

His tears streamed down his face, mixed with his contorted expression:

“My brother is gone, my sister-in-law remarried with my nephew, the pillar of my Zhang family has collapsed, and the family is broken up!”

"And what about your Shen family? You're living a life of luxury, your business is booming. That Li Guofu only spent a few years in jail before getting out, and he's still living a carefree life!"

"I've been a slave to your Shen family for twenty years, watching you all live together in harmony! Watching you enjoy wealth and luxury! My heart is bleeding!"

"I've endured humiliation and hardship just to see your Shen family suffer retribution! To see you taste the bitterness of family ruin, death, and extinction of your lineage!!"

His gaze swept over the swaying Madam Shen and over Shen Yichuan, who was filled with shock and anger.

Finally, the words landed on the chairman's face, which remained ashen.

"A feng shui arrangement? Haha! That's right! It's me! It's me in the underworld..."

He seemed about to say the name, but suddenly stopped, a hint of fear flashing across his face, which then turned into resentment:

"...It was a master who instructed me to set up a feng shui formation in this old house to gather yin and lock in evil spirits, so that your Shen family will be condemned to eternal damnation for generations to come, and be buried with my brother!"

"What a pity...what a pity!" Zhang Zude suddenly looked at Shen Yuepo, his eyes filled with resentment and bitterness. "It was about to succeed, but it was still seen through by a little girl. It's really...heaven is not on my side!"

He roared like a madman, his pent-up hatred of twenty-one years erupting like a volcano.

"Li Guofu has already been killed. Now, it's your turn!"

He went into a hysterical state and suddenly lunged at Madam Shen, who was closest to him, shouting, "This is all retribution for your Shen family!"

"Mom!" Shen Wangchuan and Shen Yichuan shouted in shock and anger at the same time.

However, the two professional bodyguards standing by reacted extremely quickly. The moment Zhang Bo moved, the two pounced on him, one grabbing his arm and the other locking his throat and leg, pinning Zhang Zude to the ground.

The study was deathly silent, save for Zhang Zude's unwilling roars and heavy breathing as he was pinned to the ground.

Madam Shen was so frightened that she went limp and almost fainted.

Shen Yichuan clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with fury, wishing he could rush up and tear Zhang Bo apart immediately.

Chairman Shen slowly stood up. Although his face was grim, he looked at Uncle Zhang, who was roaring and cursing on the ground, and said in a heavy voice:

“The Zhang Zude and Zhang Zuyao incident was a major accident caused by the negligence of the Xingli Factory, and it was due to our Shen family’s failure to supervise.”

"Li Guofu is the culprit, and he has received the legal punishment he deserves. Our Shen family has also done everything in our power to provide compensation and relief... We even brought you here to compensate you. Twenty-one years have passed, and we thought..."

He sighed deeply, "I never imagined that you would harbor such deep resentment and endure it for twenty years... I never imagined that you would take your anger out on the entire Shen family and do such a vicious thing that would bring disaster to your descendants!"

Chairman Shen looked at Zhang Zude, who was still roaring and cursing on the ground, and waved his hand wearily: "Wang Chuan, call the police."

Shen Wangchuan immediately took out his phone, ready to call the police.

Just as Shen Wangchuan looked down at his phone...

Shen Yuepo arrived in front of Zhang Zude, who was being held firmly to the ground by two bodyguards.

She leaned forward slightly: "Zhang Zude. That day, when I first entered the Shen family's old house, I sensed something amiss with the feng shui, which attracted evil spirits to kill me... Wasn't that you?"

Zhang Zude's facial muscles twitched a few times, then he sneered:

"So what if it is? I can't believe it... You little brat, you're pretty tough. Even that old bastard couldn't kill you! That's fucking weird!"

Shen Yuepo's gaze grew even colder as she pressed, "So, what deal did you make with Ming Ye?"
