Before Zhuang Li's identity was revealed, Xiu Zhaotian had denounced him in front of all the guests as a person of unknown origin, and said that he had evil intentions and seduced Si Ming just to get the Si family's hundreds of billions of assets.
The words were still fresh in my mind, but reality suddenly reversed. Comparing hundreds of billions of dollars in wealth with Zhuang Li himself, which one is more important?
Anyone with even a little common sense knew that Zhuang Li was undoubtedly more valuable than a trillion-dollar fortune. Those present already possessed everything, lacking only health and a long life, both of which Zhuang Li controlled. If not to curry favor with him, who else could they curry favor with? He was the most powerful figure in China.
Thinking of this, the guests couldn't help but cast sarcastic glances at Xiu Zhaotian. One young, wealthy second-generation man covered his mouth and whispered to his female companion, "Xiu Zhaotian is so bold! He even said he'd send someone to investigate Dr. Zhuang. If he really dared to do that, the Ministry of State Security would give him a pair of rose gold bracelets for free the next day."
The female companion couldn't help laughing, and she was shaking with laughter. When she saw Xiu Zhaotian looking at her with red eyes, she rolled her eyes to the sky, blatantly expressing her disdain.
Xiu Zhaotian was extremely annoyed, but he still pursed his lips and forced a smile.
Xiu Yue was so embarrassed he couldn't even lift his head. He hadn't yet cultivated the same thick skin as his father, and he really wanted to turn into a wisp of smoke and disappear on the spot.
The father and son were still the focus of everyone's attention, but the glances cast at them, both overt and covert, had changed from envy to contempt.
Everyone knew that things had changed in the Xiu family.
Mr. Si, who had been holding back, picked up another glass of red wine and raised it towards Xiu Zhaotian, saying in a cold tone, "You should know why I have tolerated you until now, right?"
Xiu Zhaotian hung his head and said nothing.
He knew, of course, that his father-in-law had always been tolerant of him because Si Ming would need his care if he became paralyzed. Si Ming's illness was his biggest bargaining chip and the reason for his unscrupulous behavior.
"Do you still remember how you walked into my Si family that year?" Old Master Si curled his lips in contempt.
This memory is a lifelong shame for Xiu Zhaotian.
Over twenty years ago, he was brought home by Mrs. Si, hand in hand. Although he was wearing an expensive dress, his face revealed a deep sense of panic. A casual glance from Mr. Si's sharp eyes made him so unsure of where to put his hands and feet that he nearly stumbled in the living room.
Mr. Si asked him to kneel down and swear that he would be good to Mrs. Si for the rest of his life. He was unwilling to do so, but he had to kneel down.
At that time, he was like a clown at the mercy of others.
He said that he would treat Mrs. Si well for the rest of his life, but he was thinking in his heart: Just wait, one day I will become the master of this house!
The oath remains, but the reality has completely changed.
Thinking of what happened in the past, and looking at Mr. Si who was still so cold and ruthless and had never given him an ounce of trust and tolerance, Xiu Zhaotian's face, which had pretended to be calm, finally showed a look of fear.
The wine glass in his hand was trembling slightly. He wanted to take a step forward to get closer to Mr. Si, but when he raised his legs, he retreated hastily.
He seemed to have become that poor boy with nothing again, and was overwhelmed by the magnificent mansion and the elegantly dressed aristocrats.
He vaguely realized what Mr. Si wanted to say, so he put aside his pride and begged bitterly: "Dad, please give me another chance! I will treat Si Ming well with all my heart. I will send Zhou Fangfang and Xiu Yue away, and I will come back to live with you and Si Ming."
Mr. Si shook his head indifferently: "It's too late. You've worn away my patience bit by bit over the years. Xiao Ming's body has recovered. You are nothing but a waste to me. Why do you keep me here? If you know what's good for you, just walk out. If you don't, I can also have someone throw you out. It's your choice."
Mr. Si pointed to the open door.
All the guests looked at Xiu Zhaotian and Xiu Yue, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
Over the years, Mr. Si tolerated Xiu Zhaotian's illegitimate son, his mistress, and his attempts to seize power, both overtly and covertly.
Everyone thought that Mr. Si had lost his temper due to the cruel reality, but they never expected that he was not without temper, but had been accumulating it, just waiting for the right opportunity to explode.
If Xiu Zhaotian walked out of this door today, there would be no place for him in the entire country of China tomorrow. He would lose everything from being the CEO of a group, a billionaire, to having luxurious clothes and food, to having power and status.
More than 20 years have passed, and he hasn't changed at all. A poor boy is just a poor boy after all. He lost his mind once he got to power, and he deserved this end.
To Xiu Zhaotian, the door before him was not a door at all, but the exit to heaven and the entrance to hell. Once he stepped through it, he would be smashed to pieces.
"Dad, I am Xiao Ming's father. Please do this for Xiao Ming's sake..." The aristocratic demeanor that Xiu Zhaotian had cultivated with great difficulty was completely discarded in the face of cruel reality. He even bent his knees and wanted to kneel down to Mr. Si, just like when he knelt in this living room to ask for Mrs. Si's hand in marriage.
Mr. Si pointed at the door with his fingertips and ordered nonchalantly: "Throw them out."
Several bodyguards immediately came out from the deputy hall, picked up Xiu Zhaotian and dragged him towards the door.
Xiu Yue was young and immature, and could not stand this humiliation, so he walked out on his own.
After being driven out of the Si family's mansion, they stood in a dark corner, gazing at the bright lights in the distance, with endless anger and resentment in their hearts, as well as deep helplessness and confusion.

At the same time, Zhuang Xin and Teng Xuan were sitting in their living room watching TV.
The two have disagreements on how to deal with their marital property, so they have not yet signed a divorce agreement.
All the TV channels were broadcasting news about Zhuang Li. Several patients who had participated in the clinical trial and fully recovered were describing their miraculous experiences in detail to the camera.
"Look at my hair. It used to be all white, but now it's all black. Dr. Zhuang's medicine not only cured my cancer, but also restored my body to its pre-illness condition. Look carefully, have the wrinkles on my face become less?" An old man stretched his head in front of the camera and said proudly.
Teng Wei stared at the TV intently, his heart in turmoil.
Only now did he finally understand why his son was arrested by the Ministry of State Security for just playing a little joke on Zhuang Li. Why couldn't the nine families combined to resolve this matter?
Zhuang Li possessed such technology. Could the state allow anyone to harm him? His son tried to force him to commit suicide, and the state was lucky enough not to sentence him to death.
Teng Wei was momentarily filled with lingering fear and then with remorse. He had been the most likely candidate to win over Zhuang Li. If only he had shown more care and love for him, perhaps these technologies would have belonged to the Teng family!
Zhuang Li's super brain will bring the Teng family hundreds of billions, even trillions, of profits every year! What will the Xiu family be? What will the Si family be? Those high-ranking people won't even be worthy of carrying his shoes!
But all possibilities were snuffed out by his son and Zhuang Xin. One was narrow-minded and intolerant, the other short-sighted and selfish! Together, they pushed Zhuang Li out!
The more Teng Wei thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Glancing at Zhuang Xin's dazed expression, he couldn't help but sneer, "Zhuang Xin, congratulations, your son has made it big."
"Is this really Zhuang Li?" Zhuang Xin whispered in disbelief, pointing at the young man shaking hands with the national leader on the TV screen.
Teng Wei ignored her, grabbed his car keys, and hurried to the company. It was unknown what had gone wrong with Mr. Si lately. Besides suppressing Xiu Zhaotian, he had even gone after Teng's enterprise. Although Teng Wei had some skills, he was no match for Mr. Si, and was now on the verge of bankruptcy.
After he left, Zhuang Xin immediately took out her cell phone and called Zhuang Li.
She searched for a long time before finding the phone number of this rarely contacted person in the address book. After dialing it, she found that the number had been cancelled long ago.
Zhuang Xin's face turned pale and she stood there in a daze.
She didn't believe it and called several times. Only after hearing the repeated prompt tone in the receiver did she finally accept the reality - Zhuang Li had completely and totally left her.
Household registration, ID card, phone number, address, all possible clues that could lead to his contact were taken away by him.
From now on, he was a great scientist in China, while Zhuang Xin was just a divorced woman with no security for the rest of her life except for a few million in savings. Her dream of a wealthy life was ultimately shattered.
Was this punishment too much? It was just to make Zhuang Li not do so well on the test, so how could he hold such a grudge? Zhuang Xin felt wronged and broke down in tears.
However, she didn't know that if Zhuang Li had never come into this world, she would have burned her son's body with her own hands, erasing all evidence of his crime, and letting her son disappear forever with a huge injustice. The demon who killed her son was right next to her, yet she chose to indulge and protect him.
She never loved her son, she only loved herself.

While the whole of China was immersed in carnival, Zhuang Li and Si Ming stayed in a small room, looking at each other quietly.
"With this injection, you will be cured." Zhuang Li gently tapped the needle in his hand.
"Where did you hit?" Si Ming grabbed his belt, his ears red.
Zhuang Li lifted up his sleeve and gave him an injection in the arm with an expression of uncontrollable laughter on his face.
"Just hit your arms, why are you taking off your pants? Are you so impatient?" He bit the tip of his lover's hot ear and said seductive words.
"I'm not imagining things." Si Ming quickly shook his head to deny it.
"Even the big fool has learned to lie." Zhuang Li put the syringe back on the tray, walked around behind Si Ming, stretched out his slender arms and gently wrapped them around his neck, and whispered in his ear: "You know, patients participating in clinical trials took seven days and seven nights to lift their right hands, but it only took you two minutes. Tell me what you were thinking at that time? Where did your strength come from? Hmm?"
He deliberately dragged out the last syllable very long and gracefully, and even sprayed a wisp of hot air into Si Ming's eardrum.
Si Ming almost jumped up from the sofa. A strange itchy feeling went straight from his eardrums into his heart.
"I, I, I didn't mean anything. It was obviously you who flirted with me on purpose..." He was too embarrassed to say the rest.
Zhuang Li twisted his meaning: "So you don't have that kind of feeling towards me? Fine, I'll take you back now."
"No, no, no, I want to, I want to!" Si Ming was anxious. He quickly grabbed the little curly-haired boy's hands, carried him on his back, and walked around the room.
His body was so hot that it was about to melt, but even though a soft bed was right in front of him, he still didn't dare to get close to it, let alone put anyone on it. He cherished the little curly-haired girl so much that he could kiss her and hug her, but the last step required his consent.
Zhuang Li tilted his head to look at his sweaty face. It seemed like he had had enough fun. Then he kissed his red ears and said with a smile, "Put me on top. I told you, we'll have a great time tonight."
Si Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and then his body began to burn...

Juvenile detention center:
Teng Xuan was locked up in a solitary cell. He was shaking the bars and shouting at the top of his lungs, "I want to see the director! I want to call the police! Someone poisoned me! My food and water are poisoned! I want to see my dad! Let me out!"
It’s a pity that the prison was so quiet that no one paid any attention to him.
When he was tired of shaking, he sat down and looked at the plates of food and bottles of water on the table with a look of fear on his face.
No one knew that when he looked at these things, what appeared before his eyes was the image of himself paralyzed in bed.
Seeing the future connected to an object or a person is his deepest secret.
