Not to mention Lady Zhong and Zhong Zhiwan, who didn’t even have the right to speak.

Zhong Zhiwan might be the top student in her second year of high school, but she had never dealt with family business and lacked a talent for business.

Lady Zhong was a full-time housewife. Since marrying into the Zhong Family, she had been responsible for taking care of Elder Zhong in the old residence.

She couldn’t even get a word in, let alone know about the turmoil concerning Zhong Corporation’s stocks today.

Now, among the Four major noble families of Shanghai City, the Zhong Family’s situation was the most unique.

It was only the Zhong Family that remained under the control of Master Zhong.

The Ying Family and Jiang Family, where both old masters had passed away, had passed on control to the next generation.

As for the Fu Family—the leader of the Four major noble families—Old Master Fu was still alive, but due to poor health, he had handed over the company to Fu Mingcheng’s generation, retaining only his shares.

But the Zhong Family was different.

The older Master Zhong got, the healthier he seemed to become, his spirit only growing sharper,

Especially over this last month, he could carry a tub of water up ten stories without panting, stronger than an average young man.

A few years earlier, people in the Zhong Family had already become restless.

But with Master Zhong holding 54% of Zhong Corporation’s shares, all major decisions were his to make,

Leaving others no choice but to hope for Master Zhong’s death.

After several years of waiting in vain, their impatience had grown.

Zhong Tianyun was the most desperate among them. He had received Master Zhong’s care but was not content.

If his father had not died so early, who knows who would be calling the shots at Zhong Corporation today?

Not to mention, his father had died trying to save Elder Zhong.

If Master Zhong truly felt guilty, he should have let him inherit the Zhong Corporation.

Yet, after waiting for more than a decade, Zhong Tianyun saw no such intentions from Master Zhong.

During this time, he was always trying to find Master Zhong’s mistakes.

At first, the Weibo incident—in which Master Zhong used the Zhong Corporation’s official account to speak out for a foster daughter—was considered taboo.

Zhong Tianyun never expected the outcome to be favorable.

Moreover, Zhong Corporation’s stock even rose significantly due to Master Zhong’s statement, gaining a lot of public goodwill.

Zhong Tianyun waited and finally saw his opportunity.

The treasure of the Jade Pavilion was lost.

Zhong Corporation faced a massive loss, and Master Zhong could not escape responsibility.

It was the perfect chance to pressure Master Zhong into stepping down and to seize the shares. Then, the Zhong Corporation would change hands.

“Tianyun, this is going too far,” one of the shareholders frowned and spoke up, “Shouldn’t we find the treasure of the Jade Pavilion first?”

The treasure of the Jade Pavilion was a masterpiece by a carving master from fifty years ago, and had been in the custody of the Zhong Family ever since.

This master used a piece of jade the size of a half-grown person to carve eighty-eight Buddhas, a method so exquisite that he named it the “Ten Directions Realm.”

The jade stone alone was worth tens of millions, not to mention the finished product after the master’s careful carving, priced at 500 million.

Such a high price tag wouldn’t tempt ordinary buyers—it was only for those with deep pockets and a passion for carving.

Therefore, it had been kept in the Jade Pavilion under strict protection for many years.

Despite many years passing, no one expected that the Ten Directions Realm would one day be lost.

“President Shi, finding the Ten Directions Realm is indeed a priority, but Mr. Eugene has already arrived in Shanghai City.” Zhong Tianyun remained unmoved. “The contracts have been signed, we must provide an explanation first.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Master Zhong, whose expression was cold, and then he smiled, “And after all, only Master Zhong has the clout in Zhong Corporation, right?”

Upon hearing this, shareholder Shi didn’t speak again.

This time, the buyer of the Ten Directions Realm was a multinational company from O continent, which also had businesses in Hua Country.

Zhong Corporation did not even rank in the top ten within Hua Country, how could it possibly compare with a multinational conglomerate?

Only if Master Zhong went there, and guaranteed in person, could they convince the company not to take action against Zhong Corporation, giving them time to search for the Ten Directions Realm.

“There’s nothing left to discuss.” Scanning the contemptuous faces of Lady Zhong and Zhong Zhiwan, Zhong Tianyun sneered, “Master Zhong, your sons aren’t here today, so like it or not, you must come with us.”

The bodyguards brought by Zhong Tianyun were highly skilled.

Overpowering a young man was effortless, let alone an elderly one.

Zhong Zhiwan had never seen such a display and panicked immediately, “Grandfather…”

“Wanwan, don’t be impulsive,” Lady Zhong held her daughter down and whispered, “Your grandfather is still the chairman of Zhong Corporation, they won’t really do anything.”

Besides, even if they went forward, what could they do?

The worse outcome would be getting caught together.

Zhong Tianyun didn’t take this mother and daughter seriously either and waved his hand impatiently, “Take him away, and anyone who tries to stop us, take them too.”

Zhong Zhiwan covered her mouth with both hands, not even daring to cry out loud.

The steward Zhong by their side was also extremely anxious, but he was controlled by two bodyguards, unable to even make a call for help.

Just as Steward Zhong was about to watch the bodyguards take Elder Zhong away without being able to do anything, a cold, clear voice fell from outside the door.

It was as if pearls and jades had shattered on the floor.

And like the wind blowing across the surface of a lake, suddenly solidifying a layer of ice.

“You can try and see.”

The girl pushed the door open from outside, wearing simple sweats and long pants with a baseball cap on her head to shield from The Sun.

Backlit, her eyebrows and eyes were hidden in the halo of light, hazy and not quite clear.

Zhong Zhiwan looked up and was taken aback.

It was the weekend, and Elder Zhong hadn’t called, so why had Ying Zijin taken the initiative to come?

Upon seeing the girl, Elder Zhong’s face finally changed, and he became anxious, “Zijin, why have you come at this time? Your grandfather has something going on, come another day.”

He was old enough and had lived a full life; he couldn’t drag the younger generation into this.

Zhong Tianyun already harbored malicious intentions, who knew what else he could do?

But Ying Zijin did not leave, she nodded and smiled faintly, “Grandfather.”

“Who are you?” Zhong Tianyun frowned, displeased, “Since when did the Zhong family have such a person?”

At least this face, once seen, would be impossible to forget.

“She is not one of our Zhong family members; she’s the foster daughter adopted by the Ying family,” Lady Zhong also spoke up, coldly, “Tianyun, no matter what, the old master is your elder, doing this is grossly unfilial.”

“So this is that foster daughter?” Zhong Tianyun ignored the latter part of Lady Zhong’s words and scoffed scornfully, “I thought it was something worthwhile, Elder Zhong, you’ve really become muddled.”

Elder Zhong roared, “Zhong Tianyun, shut your damn mouth!”

Zhong Zhiwan saw that even now, Elder Zhong was still protecting Ying Zijin, and her heart suddenly felt unpleasant.

She pinched the palm of her hand and said faintly, “Cousin, I know you’re doing this for Grandfather’s sake, but you can’t help with anything. Could you please not add to the chaos?”

Even Elder Zhong was powerless, what could Ying Zijin do?

“Yo, Elder Zhong, your granddaughter is quite something,” Zhong Tianyun said with a tsk of amazement, “Even a foster daughter knows to stop me, but your own granddaughter not only sits there doing nothing, she’s even throwing shade at her cousin.”

“I’m an outsider, and even I can’t watch this. Is this the kind of family education you provide in your household, Elder Zhong?”

Zhong Zhiwan’s face flushed red all at once, with tears shimmering in her eyes, and her body trembling.

Having her inner thoughts exposed so bluntly made her feel immensely humiliated; she couldn’t lift her head and didn’t dare to look at Elder Zhong.

Ying Zijin didn’t say a word, she just rolled up her sleeves.

“What are you going to do?” Zhong Tianyun shook his head, “You can’t really think that you, a little girl, can…”

The rest of his words were blocked by screams, unable to pop out a single word.

Ying Zijin was still standing on a bodyguard’s arm, turned her head sideways at his words, seemingly smiling, very faint and cold, “Hmm? Do what?”

Elder Zhong was shocked, “…”

Good heavens, his granddaughter was so formidable?

How had he never noticed it before?

Elder Zhong rubbed his eyes, deeply suspecting he was suffering more severely from presbyopia, as he hadn’t seen clearly how these bodyguards had been taken down.

Zhong Zhiwan was even more incredulous, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Lady Zhong hadn’t expected that Ying Zijin would dispose of seven or eight bodyguards so effortlessly.

It happened in just a few seconds.

This…

“Very good, very good. No wonder you’re so bold; turns out you’ve got some skills,” Zhong Tianyun recovered from his shock, becoming extremely furious, “Do you think that’s enough to stop me?”

Ying Zijin remained indifferent, not even bothering to listen.

She kicked one of the bodyguards on the ground and turned her head to look outside the door.
