He stared at the person who had grown up under his watchful gaze from a distance, as if he didn't recognize him anymore. Since when had Shen Lu stopped being his little sidekick all day long and become a stranger like this now.

Shen Lu is his adopted son. He remembers when Shen Lu was chubby and adorable as a child, calling him "Dad" affectionately.

When I found out that you killed my parents, I always felt that one day I would step on you, Shen Liaqing... Or perhaps, Uncle? Shen Luling's sharp gaze was like a piercing knife.

"When did you find out...?" His face turned pale. Those who knew the truth had long been dealt with by him, although he had anticipated this day long ago.

Behind him was a turbulent river, somewhat murky. He was already alone; the high-ranking officials within the Shen Group had long been bought off by Shen Lu. Only his confidant, Li Guan, informed him that Shen Lu would confront him today. It turned out that Shen Lu was the one manipulating the shell companies' shares behind his back.

Although it was like keeping a tiger as a problem, it was also a spiritual sustenance to remember Shen Lu. Shen Lu resembled his older sister very much, unlike that nameless nobody who took away his sister's love and care. To commemorate Shen Lu, he changed Shen Lu's name. Apart from age and gender, Shen Lu often resembled her mother.

He never thought about facing Shen Lu; the company belonged to Shen Lu from the beginning, and it was about time to give it back. After all these years, he should have come to terms with this abnormal admiration. He had thought about exploring various places in the world in the second half of his life. Life is short, and it was also time to let go.

"Do you know that kind of despair? To be betrayed by the person closest to you, and not just any enemy, but one who is bathed in the blood of your own parents." Shen Lu's face turned dark and vicious, as if he wanted nothing more than to flay him alive.

Twenty years ago, when Shen Lu showed him her so-called brother-in-law, he felt like he had died once. Shen Lu was his sister and the best person to him in this world. However, suddenly one day, that kind of love belonged to someone else.

That day was the day he formally took over the Shen Group. His sister had said she would give him a surprise, and later he met that plain-looking man, a small writer who, apart from his refined temperament, was completely incomparable to his beautiful and strong sister.

He felt that as long as the person who took away his sister's affection was gone, his sister's love and care would only be for him alone.

No longer burdened with the busyness of work and the nourishment of love, Shen Lu was beaming with radiance for those few days. But for Shen Liqing, it felt like hell.

Unable to bear it, he thought that he could bring happiness to his sister after taking over the company.

One day, later on, Shen Lu became pregnant, and all his dreams were shattered. Due to his parents being framed by a rival at a young age, Shen Liqing and Shen Lu had always relied on each other, but that writer seemed like a third party interfering in their relationship.

"Kill me. When I let you stay, I knew this day would come."

"Kill you? You are my good uncle," Shen Lu gritted his teeth and said with great resentment.

"It's time to end this."

He turned around, feeling a sense of relief and lightness.

"Shen Lihqing, you haven't settled your debts yet, so don't expect an easy death!" Shen Lu was becoming impatient. He wanted to capture Shen Lihqing alive and had many means of revenge, which were all reasons for Shen Lihqing to stay alive.

"I am well aware of the sins I have committed, and over the years, I have genuinely treated you as a son. Requesting a complete body as a condition is not too demanding. It is time to go and accompany her."

He closed his eyes, facing a gentle breeze. If it weren't for the situation he was in, he would have even felt somewhat content.

"Shen, Li, Qing!" Shen Lu ran over, waving his hand, but only managed to grab onto the corner of their clothing. With all his strength, he released Shen Lu's hand, and the rushing water swiftly carried away his body. It was as if he was on the verge of death, yet he could still see Shen Lu becoming disturbed for his sake.
