Face Recognition?

Old Master Shen's mind short-circuited a little. Hearing an inexplicable voice was one thing, but now someone was saying his longtime illness was actually poisoning?

Shen Jingmo frowned, but said nothing.

"Grandpa, let me handle Aunt and Uncle-in-law's matter myself. If they hadn't intended to harm me, they wouldn't have been arrested."

Preoccupied with his condition, Old Master Shen nodded.

Zhu Yu curled his lips as he listened to the two of them talk. So they still wanted to go easy on them?

--[I'm seriously speechless with you two fools. My boss, you probably don't know that your aunt isn't related to you by blood at all.]

Shen Jingmo's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at his grandfather. What did that mean? His aunt had no blood relation to him? How was that possible? I need an explanation.

Shen Jingmo questioned his grandfather with his eyes.

Old Master Shen only felt that nothing had gone right today. First, his eldest grandson and a young man caught him watching videos. Then someone claimed he had been poisoned. Now, the matter of his youngest daughter being adopted had been exposed too.

Seeing the guilty look on his grandfather's face, Shen Jingmo understood everything. He was so angry he laughed.

--[And that uncle-in-law of yours, he's connected to your aunt's biological parents. His goal is to swindle you two suckers out of your property and company.]

The tablet in Old Master Shen's hand fell to the floor.

Although Shen Jingmo had mentally prepared himself, he was still stunned by the sheer amount of information in those words.

His aunt might have been adopted, and she already knew who her biological parents were. She had joined forces with people from her biological family to seize the Shen family's company?

Though Old Master Shen found it hard to believe, Shen Jing had indeed been acting strangely lately. She rarely came home, and he had recently discovered that she often met with an unfamiliar couple at a teahouse. The balance in his heart gradually tipped toward the words he had just heard.

"Grandpa, is Aunt really your daughter? She doesn't resemble you or Grandma at all," Shen Jingmo asked bluntly.

Zhu Yu looked at him in horror. How did he know? Didn't the book say he never found out until his death?

--[Good heavens, has the big shot become so amazing that he can do facial recognition now?]

Hearing that voice in their heads, both grandfather and grandson twitched their mouths in unison. What this young man said was useful, but it really didn't sound pleasant.

"Cough, cough..." Old Master Shen nearly choked on his own saliva. Why did this young man have to speak such harsh truths?

Seeing that he could no longer tell his story, Old Master Shen sighed. Young people these days were truly too impatient.

"No. Your aunt was adopted by your grandmother from an orphanage. The orphanage was about to be demolished then, and she was the only little girl left there. Your grandmother pitied her and adopted her." Old Master Shen fondly recalled what his late wife had done back then, but thinking of what his youngest daughter was doing now filled him with rage.

"I can't understand it. Your grandmother and I treated your aunt so well. Why would she turn against us for the parents who abandoned her?" Old Master Shen could not understand.

Shen Jingmo did not see it that way. Human nature was not something that could be predicted.

Hearing their question, Zhu Yu screamed inwardly. I know the answer to that question! But how am I supposed to say it?

Shen Jingmo and Old Master Shen rubbed their ears at the same time. What was wrong with this young man? Why was he shouting for no reason?

"Zhu Yu, what do you think about my grandfather's question?" Shen Jingmo looked at Zhu Yu.

"Me? Me? Is this something I'm allowed to discuss?" Zhu Yu felt like he had accidentally learned a wealthy family's darkest secret. Would these two silence him while they were at it?

"It's fine. Speak freely," Old Master Shen said with an unconcerned wave of his hand.

"I think that if there was nothing wrong with the process, then perhaps the problem appeared at the beginning?" Zhu Yu desperately tried to think of a tactful way to remind them that Old Master Shen and Madam Shen had been fooled from the very start.

--[How do I tell them that the couple who ran the orphanage back then were actually my boss's aunt's biological parents?]

--[Can I really just say that Old Master Shen and Madam Shen were played like fools by that couple from the very beginning?]

As Old Master Shen listened to the voice in his head, his grip on his cane tightened and tightened until the veins on his face stood out.

Shen Jingmo sighed as well.

Now everything made sense. No wonder there had only been one little girl in that orphanage, and she had been dressed so nicely. No matter how he looked at it, she did not seem like a child no one wanted to adopt.

So someone had been eyeing the Shen family's money from that moment onward. How very impressive.

"Xiao Mo, tell the police to handle this according to procedure. Arrest everyone involved in this matter. Don't let a single one of them go." Old Master Shen pressed heavily against his cane. His tone was completely different from his earlier cheerful gentleness, filled with icy coldness.

"I understand." Shen Jingmo felt that there had already been enough shocking information today. His grandfather was old and could not be further agitated, so he quickly pulled Zhu Yu outside.

Zhu Yu was still confused. What was going on? He had only said one sentence. How had the two of them suddenly become enlightened?
