I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 575 The Biggest Creditor

Settle accounts?

As soon as these words were spoken, there was quite a commotion in the hall.

Yesterday afternoon, Jiang Huashan burned a car in the government square, single-handedly pushing the Zhou family's speeding case to a climax.

At night, Zhou Yuanbai led the police to Suli Hospital to arrest someone, but he failed to catch the person. Instead, Shen Zhuang broke his legs and threw him back to Zhou's house.

The powerful people in Jinggang City are not blind. The commotion was so loud that everyone who should be alarmed was alarmed.

Originally, everyone was still waiting to see how the Shen and Zhou families would end the situation, but they suddenly received an invitation from the old man of the Shen family.

It is no exaggeration to say that almost all the bigwigs who received the invitation letters stayed up all night, racking their brains to recall what role they played in this turmoil against the Shen family. Would they have their legs broken by Shen Zhuang after going to Shen Garden?

As everyone knows, the old man of the Shen family has become much gentler since Shen Xi passed away. He used to want to kill people, but now he wants to kill people.

Zhou Guochao sneered. With hundreds of schools of thought now competing in Whale Harbor, the Shen family was no longer the sole dominant force. Was Mr. Shen getting senile? He actually wanted to single-handedly take on the entire power structure of Country A. He was simply courting his own doom.

Yao Li and Xiao Qi have vested interests in the Shen family, so they broke out in a cold sweat when they heard that Shen Zhuang was going to settle the score. Although the Shen family is powerful, it is not wise to fight against a large number of them alone.

Yu Siwen looked around and took the initiative to speak, "I wonder what the old man wants to settle?"

Although the Yu family's foundation is not as strong as those of the major families, Yu Siwen's social status is there, and everyone agreed, "Yes, please explain clearly, old man, what is the score between us and the Shen family?"

"Everyone, please be patient." Shen Zhuang raised his hand, and Zheng Song immediately handed him a sandalwood box. Shen Zhuang took it, his expression still calm.

"I'm sure everyone already knows that my daughter was poisoned at home yesterday. If it weren't for her good fortune, she would have met with a tragic end by now."

Zhou Guochao remained calm, lowered his eyelids and blew on the tea.

Although the Weiyang TV incident was suppressed, it still could not escape the signal network of the powerful. Shen Jiao's incident was no longer a secret in this circle.

With both parties present, it would be difficult to offend either of them, so everyone simply tried to smooth things over. "Old man, we sympathize with Miss Shen's experience, but... this matter is ultimately Miss Shen's own fault. What does it have to do with us?"

The Minister of National Defense was afraid that Shen Zhuang would find fault with him. He quickly glanced at Yu Siwen and said seriously, "Old man, the guards were dispatched according to the rules. Although they offended the young masters and young ladies of the Shen family, there is nothing wrong with the procedure."

"That's right." Zhou Guochao twisted the agarwood in his hand, his eyelids slightly raised, his eyes meeting Shen Zhuang's gaze like torches. "Come to think of it, I also have a score to settle with Mr. Shen! The police station received a report from the public that someone, Zhou Yuanbai, was performing his duties according to the law, but your Shen family shot and injured his leg. Shen Jiao was suspected of drug trafficking, and Zhou Yuanbai asked her to go to the police station for investigation, but she broke both legs. No matter what, Zhou Yuanbai is my son, Zhou Guochao. Isn't it time for Mr. Shen to give my family an explanation for beating him up?"

"Mr. Zhou, please be careful with your words. How can you say that Gillian is suspected of drug trafficking without any evidence?" Shen Rang frowned, stood up and directly retorted.

Zhou Yuanzheng said, "It's clearly written in the police station's case records. How could it be false?"

"Case records? Who knows how much water is in those case records? If you say it's evidence, then it's evidence?"

"The police station's case records are unreliable. Do we really have to listen to your Shen family's lies?"

"put……"

"Alright." Shen Zhuang waved his hand, looking like he didn't want to argue. "We'll talk about this later. Let's settle the score first."

"Yes." Shen Rang bowed slightly and sat back down with a breath held.

Shen Zhuang handed the wooden box to Shen Lanxi, "Lanxi, show it to them."

Shen Lanxi nodded, took the wooden box in both hands, and walked straight to Yu Siwen.

Yu Siwen was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Shen Lanxi's cold expression, he immediately came to his senses and carefully took the wooden box.

With so many people here, why did they just give it to him? Yu Siwen suppressed his curiosity and slowly opened the wooden box.

He was a little confused at first, but after seeing what was inside, his eyes immediately turned to shock.

"This is……"

Shen Zhuang said, "Ah Jiao just came back from a near-death experience and is very weak. I want to take this opportunity to let her rest. So I plan to sell the government bonds she has to the Li family of Country S. I invited you all here today to inform you in advance so that we don't have to rush financially."

"..." Yu Siwen was dumbfounded when he saw the pile of bonds in front of him. Even though he had made sufficient preparations, he did not expect that the settlement Shen Zhuang mentioned was real.

Fifty years ago, in order to quickly enter a stage of comprehensive development, Country A sold national bonds to many powerful families. Among them, the Shen family took up 80% of the shares. Fifty years have passed, and it should have been time for liquidation, but the Shen family never mentioned it, and the finances have remained in limbo.

It was obvious that Shen Zhuang was well prepared to make such a decision at this time. If this really happened, the regime of Country A, a major economic power, would be broken, the currency would depreciate, and the entire nation would suffer a severe blow from the shrinking of their property.

"Old...old man..." Yu Siwen smiled, even uglier than crying, "Are you kidding us?"

Shen Zhuang sighed softly and shook his head, "When you reach my age, you'll understand that power and money are nothing but fleeting clouds. They can't compare to a well-organized family."

"Ah Jiao has worked really hard managing such a large family business over the years. I told her long ago that girls shouldn't work so hard, but she refused to listen. Now it can be considered a blessing in disguise. After experiencing death once, she has come to terms with it. She also plans to sell the power companies she owns. However, electricity is related to the national capital after all. I have discussed with Ah Jiao that if the government intends to acquire them, the Shen family is willing to sell them to the government at a price 20% below cost."

"..."

If we can’t even pay off the national debt, how can we afford to buy a power company?!

Yu Siwen felt a headache after hearing this. If he really let the Shen family sell the national debt and the power company, he would definitely become the president with the most national crises during his term in office, and his name would be recorded in history as a curse.

Yu Siwen didn't even dare to think about it, and lowered his head to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

As soon as Shen Zhuang made his move, he caught everyone off guard. The officials who had just been shouting that they owed the Shen family nothing shut up.

They knew very well that if the Shen family sold one more thing, the government officials would not be able to pay their salaries tomorrow.

The most angry person was Zhou Guochao. When the government proposed to lend money to several major families by selling national bonds, they all wanted to take the opportunity to develop overseas influence, so they only invested a symbolic amount. It was the Shen family that used the strength of the entire family to fill all the gaps.

Shen Zhuang's move is intended to remind everyone that no one in Country A could match the support shown by the Shen family back then.
