Shim Tae-min is such a hypocrite; he spoke as if he had no other choice but to do all this.
He brought this matter to this point for the sake of the entire Shen family, putting on an act of sacrificing family ties for the greater good.
Third Uncle placed his pipe on the sandalwood table, pondered for a moment, and said, "Taemin, didn't you say you had solid evidence? Show it to us."
"This will allow everyone to make a decision based on your evidence. I won't get involved in this matter without evidence, and I certainly won't let Huai'an take the blame for nothing."
Everything must be based on solid evidence. To make baseless accusations that Shen Huai'an did things that harmed the family without any proof is nothing but slander.
"Third Uncle, this is the secret agreement that the second son signed with the Fang family without his consent. The amounts in it don't add up at all."
"Third Uncle, please take a look and examine it carefully." Shen Taimin confidently handed the forged confidential documents he had prepared beforehand to his Third Uncle.
"This confidential document clearly records the amount of money Shen Huai'an embezzled in the cooperation project with the Fang family behind the company's back. I think all of you uncles and elders absolutely cannot tolerate such a person who harms the interests of the family." Shen Taimin said to everyone in the ancestral hall with great conviction, word by word.
He now held his head high with the air of a victor, certain that Shen Huai'an would be expelled from the group and the Shen family today.
From then on, Jiangcheng no longer had any business prodigy Shen Er, and the eyesore Shen Er would also disappear.
From now on, it will all belong to Shen Taimin, and he won't have to be so careful about how he behaves with the old lady anymore.
Shen Taimin is a typical example of someone who discards someone after they've served their purpose. He hasn't even completely won yet, but he's already scheming about how to establish his authority and gain prestige in the old house.
That confidential document was a really good thing.
It's all Shen Huai'an's fault for misjudging people; he mistook an enemy for a friend, which gave Shen Taimin the opportunity.
For some reason, the old lady suddenly became a little nervous at this point. She clutched the hem of her clothes and stared at her third uncle without moving.
This time, Shen Huai'an should be completely eliminated!
Once Shen Huai'an leaves, everything will be much easier.
My third uncle shakily put on his reading glasses and carefully looked at the document, his brows furrowing little by little.
The further he looked, the uglier his expression became.
Lin Wanxing huddled behind Shen Huai'an, somewhat worried that the so-called document might actually convict his second brother.
His heart was pounding, and he whispered, barely a whisper, "Second Brother!"
Shen Huai'an remained unusually calm, as if he wasn't the one being targeted today.
Instead of showing any tension or anxiety, he smiled and comforted Lin Wanxing, "Don't be afraid. You can't pin anything on me that I didn't do."
After saying that, Shen Huai'an patted Lin Wanxing on the shoulder, "Don't worry."
Hearing her second brother's confident words, Lin Wanxing felt much more at ease and less nervous.
As Uncle San's expression grew increasingly grim, Shen Taimin became more and more confident that Shen Huai'an was completely beyond saving this time.
"Where did you get this document from?" Uncle San's tone turned serious, and his cloudy eyes instantly became stern.
"This... I just got it from someone by chance." Shen Taimin could only use this extremely far-fetched reason to answer his third uncle's question.
He can't very well say that Xie Xiaodong stole it, can he?
Shen Taimin looked up at his third uncle sitting in the grand chair, then glanced at the calm and composed Shen Huai'an. He felt a sense of unease.
Third Uncle glanced at Shen Taimin and suddenly snorted coldly, "This amount and this contract are not for this new urban area project. Taimin, these are the documents you found. Didn't you even look at them?"
The agreement looks normal at first, but things change later on. It's actually quite difficult for the average person to spot this problem, because most of the time it appears fine.
However, problems arose later on. The contract seal on the agreement was also wrong, making the whole thing completely illogical.
My third uncle flew into a rage and swept all the teacups off the sandalwood table with his pipe.
The teacup flew out and shattered on the ground, startling many people present.
Uncle San hadn't been this angry in a long time, which shows how serious the matter was.
"What kind of document is that? Why did Grandpa get so angry after reading it!"
"What exactly is in Shim Tae-min's document?"
A murmur of discussion broke out below. Shim Tae-min was completely confused; the teacup had been smashed in his direction.
In contrast, Shen Huai'an was still safe and sound, leaving everyone somewhat bewildered.
Shen Huai'an remained calm and composed. After whispering a few words in Lin Wanxing's ear, he had her taken away.
Lin Wanxing refused to leave; if his second brother wasn't by his side at this time, he would worry himself to death.
"I'm not leaving now!" Lin Wanxing frowned and refused to leave.
Shen Huai'an was worried that what was about to happen would corrupt Xingxing's innocent mind, so he wanted Xingxing to leave first.
The third uncle's sharp eyes stared at Shen Taimin. He tapped the table hard with his pipe, and the ancestral hall immediately fell silent.
"This isn't a project in the new urban area at all! This is the Greenland project you took over. You were in such a hurry to get rid of Huai'an that you accidentally picked up the wrong documents, weren't you?"
The third uncle's voice was firm and resonant as he asked Shen Taimin with great vigor.
"Didn't you read the rest of this document carefully? It's not just about the Greenland project; many details here are related to you. You're the one who's sabotaging the family's interests!"
