Sheng Rushuang walked up to Lin Qingtong and pressed play.
"Anyway, your father doesn't know whose child this is. As long as he becomes Shen Kaixuan's son, the Shen family will fall into our hands sooner or later."
"I'm afraid they didn't expect that this child was just someone we randomly picked, and that he wasn't a member of the Shen family at all."
...
These words left everyone speechless with astonishment.
They never expected that Lin Jiaorui and Shen Yibo would dare to do such a thing.
Master Shen was also caught off guard.
He had previously thought that Lin Jiaorui had lied to the child, but he never expected that she was actually conspiring with his son to seize his father's property.
He was instantly enraged, stood up, and slapped Chen Yibo hard across the face.
"You bastard, you dare to try and steal my things?"
Shen Yibo covered his face and glared fiercely at the Second Master Shen in front of him, deciding to stop pretending altogether.
"You're just a useless old bastard. You clung to all that wealth, and now look what happened, it's all been stolen from you."
"You say I schemed against you? Well, weren't you also scheming against other people's property? You deserve to end up like this."
He turned to look in Shen Kaixuan's direction, his eyes filled with tears as he spoke.
“Uncle, regardless of whether this child is of the Shen family bloodline or not, he has now been recognized as your son and has even been added to the family genealogy.”
"The child is innocent."
Shen Kaixuan's expression changed slightly, as if he was pondering something.
Whether this child has Shen family blood or not is not important.
The important thing is that as long as this child is his son in name, he will have more opportunities to compete for the Shen family's wealth in the future.
“You’re right, the child is innocent. Now that I’ve adopted him as my son, I won’t abandon him easily.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yibo's face broke into a bright smile.
Master Shen's face was extremely grim.
The current situation is that he has been abandoned by his own son and older brother.
Slightly resentful, he rushed over and slapped Lin Jiaorui across the face, then grabbed her hair and beat her mercilessly.
He couldn't touch other people, but he could still touch Lin Jiaorui, that powerless and worthless woman.
Lin Jiaorui screamed as she was beaten, pleading with Shen Yibo for mercy.
"Ah—please save me! He's beating me to death!"
But Shen Yibo said in a serious tone, "Why should I save you?"
“Those things were all your ideas, and you were the one who arranged the child. It has nothing to do with me.”
He directly pinned everything on Lin Jiaorui.
Upon hearing this, Master Shen punched Lin Jiaorui in the stomach again and sneered.
"He can't possibly care about you; you're just a tool for him to climb up to the big boss."
Lin Jiaorui was immediately furious and pushed Master Shen away, shouting.
"You can't just abandon me. Instead of spouting this nonsense, go check if the child is still alive."
"Without the child, let's see how you can cooperate. If you want the child back, pay up. I want 100 million."
She made an outrageous demand.
All around were gasps of surprise.
"What do you mean, one hundred million? She's too audacious."
"My God, I can't believe everyone was fooled by her."
Lin Qingtong watched the dog-eat-dog scene unfold before her, smiled lazily and casually, and clapped her hands lightly.
"This dog-eat-dog scene is really exciting."
Lin Jiaorui, her eyes bloodshot and already in a killing frenzy, began to act recklessly.
She presented her conditions to Shen Kaixuan once again.
"I want you to hand Lin Qingtong over to me, or you'll never see the child again."
Upon hearing this, Shen Tinghe and Sheng Rushuang immediately stepped in front of Lin Qingtong and spoke in unison.
"Let's see who dares."
Being protected by the two of them at the same time, Lin Qingtong felt a warm current flowing through her heart.
It feels so good to be protected.
But Lin Qingtong was by no means a delicate and easily bullied person, and she directly announced it.
"Lin Jiaorui, if you want to use the child as a threat, shouldn't you at least confirm whether the child is actually in your hands?"
Lin Jiaorui was stunned for a moment, and then decisively retorted.
"Impossible. I just sent someone to take the child away. If you don't believe me, go to the room and see."
Suddenly, the servants of the old house rushed in from a room on the second floor, shouting in alarm.
"Oh no! The young master has been kidnapped!"
Lin Jiaorui looked at everyone triumphantly, with an air of complete confidence.
"I just had someone drug the servants and take the child away through the back door."
Shen Kaixuan's face was extremely ugly. He never expected that he, a powerful and influential figure, would be tricked by a woman named Lin Jiaorui.
What exactly do you want?
Shen Kaixuan questioned Lin Jiaorui through gritted teeth.
Lin Jiaorui stood in the middle of everyone, her face contorted and grotesque.
"I told you I want 100 million, and I also want Lin Qingtong. In addition, you need to prepare a car for me. After I leave, I will naturally hand over the child."
She pointed at Lin Qingtong, her eyes filled with a sinister smile.
"Lin Qingtong, you can't escape now."
She had expected to see Lin Qingtong looking panicked, but to her surprise, Lin Qingtong stood there calmly, smiling charmingly.
"You're the one who can't escape."
She snapped her fingers lightly, and Zhang Xueer, carrying a swaddled baby, slowly stepped in with a group of bodyguards.
Zhang Xueer's eyes were red from crying, but her imposing presence was still undeniable.
She stared intently at Lin Jiaorui, her gaze almost murderous.
"You stole my child, I will never let you get away with this."
Lin Jiaorui's face turned deathly pale, but she was still somewhat unwilling to believe it.
"You're lying, the child is in my hands."
She glanced at Shen Kaixuan and the others out of the corner of her eye, hoping they wouldn't believe her.
Zhang Xueer had already walked to Lin Qingtong's side and opened the swaddling clothes to show everyone.
The baby in her arms was sleeping sweetly; it was none other than Shen Kaixuan's newly recognized son, Shen Tingyu.
"If people don't believe this is my son, I can do a paternity test."
She pointed at Shen Yibo with a look of grief and indignation, "You ordered someone to steal my child, our Zhang family will never let you get away with this!"
Shen Yibo panicked immediately. He was already powerless and insignificant, and if he offended the Zhang family, he would be in serious trouble.
"I didn't do it, Lin Jiaorui did it. You should talk to her, not me."
At this moment, Lin Jiaorui's eyes darted around frantically as she tried to figure out how to escape.
She had prepared everything. As long as the child was in her hands, she could control the Shen family and Lin Qingtong, and no one could do anything to her.
But she never expected that Lin Qingtong and her group would take the child away.
While Shen Yibo was arguing with Zhang Xueer, she secretly tried to slip away, but was caught by Lin Qingtong.
Where are you trying to go?
Zhang Xueer handed the child to Lin Qingtong and nodded and smiled at her.
"Thank you for your help."
Lin Qingtong took the baby, her movements a little clumsy. She looked down at the baby, then couldn't help but look at Shen Tinghe.
"He is so small."
