I just got divorced, and the female CEO is already clinging to me.

Chapter 60 The Horrifying Truth

Shen Qingrou looked at Ye Cheng and said, "You know, my biological mother passed away when I was three years old."

I was precocious enough to truly experience the immense pain of losing a loved one, and from then on I became depressed and melancholic.

Back then, Old Man Shen would do anything to make me happy.

I know he was also very sad, and seeing him force a smile hurt me deeply.

My daughter and I comforted each other, and that's how we got through the days.

At that time, he had no intention of remarrying, and I could personally feel his love for my mother.

However, this period of peace and prosperity only lasted for a year and a half.

I clearly remember the scene of him bringing that woman to see me.

Old Man Shen was very nervous, and so was she, as if they were there to be judged by me.

Old Man Shen said he made a mistake that any man would make.

At the time, I didn't quite understand what he meant; I just thought he needed someone to be with him.

So I didn't object to him finding me a stepmother; I felt it was his business.

When she first came to my house, she treated me very well, like a mother, taking care of me in every possible way.

This gave me the illusion that she treated me like her own daughter.

Even after I had a younger brother, she didn't change her attitude towards me.

I always get to enjoy the best things in the house first, and then it's my younger brother's turn.

I'm also very good to my younger brother; I share all the good things with him.

Later, the couple focused all their energy on their careers, and they showed very little concern for us siblings.

I raised my younger brother single-handedly; we siblings have a very close relationship.

Hearing this, Ye Cheng was even more confused and couldn't help but ask, "Since you two siblings have such a good relationship, what difference does it make who becomes the successor of the Shen family?"

"Isn't your younger brother your father's biological son?"

Ye Cheng thought it was possible.

The reason why Ling Suqiu was so nice to Shen Qingrou at the beginning was because she had not yet gained a foothold in the Shen Group.

If Shen Qingrou is treated badly, and she complains to Shen Qianfeng, it's uncertain whether she can stay in the Shen family business.

As for why he later became wary of Shen Qingrou, Ye Cheng felt that the root cause lay with Shen Qianfeng.

Because Shen Qianfeng was grateful for his ex-wife's achievements, he insisted on passing the Shen Group on to Shen Qingrou.

Ling Suqiu is capable.

She has to pave the way for her biological son.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could my brother not be Old Man Shen's biological son?"

You have no idea how much my brother looks like Old Man Shen.

"Looking alike doesn't necessarily mean you're related by blood. I look alike with your white moonlight, does that mean we're related by blood?"

I don't believe you didn't secretly get a paternity test done.

Shen Qingrou pursed her lips: "Okay, I admit I did it."

I even did a paternity test on you and my "white moonlight" (my ideal woman), which confirmed that you two are not related by blood.

Ye Cheng was somewhat speechless: "That's strange. I don't really understand your stepmother's behavior."

And she hid it so well, how did you realize she was wary of you?

Shen Qingrou agreed with Ye Cheng's words: "She concealed it very well; I didn't notice it until I was in college."

Back then, I was full of ambition and wanted to return to the Shen Group to make great strides and help the Shen Group reach new heights.

By chance, I came to Qingyuan Mountain. After learning about the situation here, I wanted to use it as a foundation to build my business empire.

It's a pity that God didn't want it.

Have you ever heard of a hacker named Nightingale online?

Ye Cheng almost lost his way with Shen Qingrou, not understanding why she suddenly brought up that famous hacker.

"Everyone who uses the internet knows this person. I once tried to track him down, but I failed."

Shen Qingrou was taken aback: "You are the Child of Light?"

Ye Cheng was also taken aback: "You're Nightingale?"

Shen Qingrou suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect that we've crossed swords before."

Ye Cheng smiled and shook his head: "I never thought I would still be your defeated opponent."

So, what does this have to do with your story?

Shen Qingrou said, "During my senior year of college, I hacked into the Shen Group's surveillance system on a whim and overheard her reporting to someone on the phone."

Moreover, she made a guarantee that she would never let me become the successor of the Shen Group. If Old Man Shen insisted on going his own way, she would do everything she could to get rid of me.

I checked her communication records and found that she would call this person regularly.

They also checked her spending habits and were even more surprised to find that she regularly deposited one million yuan into a bank account every month.

Ye Cheng was shocked: "If they transfer one million every month, that's twelve million a year. That's a huge sum of money!"

Could it be that she's keeping a lover on the side?

Shen Qingrou shook her head: "She's not some gigolo. I suspect she's a member of some organization."

After I accidentally discovered this secret, I thought about telling Old Man Shen, but to be on the safe side, I decided to investigate her for a while longer.

As a result, they were almost exposed.

She was very vigilant and also a martial arts expert.

I spied on her pushing 500-pound dumbbells in the gym, and even broke 20 bricks with her bare hands.

I was shocked by her abilities; I felt like she was sent by some assassin organization.

If we expose her, she'll become desperate and do something drastic; I'm afraid both Old Man Shen and I will die.

That's why I started to slack off, going from a talented female student at Peking University to a spoiled brat.

I hate that old man Shen was seduced by beauty and let a wolf into the house.

Do you know how devastated I was when she said she would do everything in her power to get rid of me?

My worldview has collapsed; it turns out everything was fake.

I live in an illusion every day.

I don't know what's real and what's fake.

They can only numb themselves with endless low-level pleasures.

That's not all. To gain complete control over me, from the very first day I started working at Shen's, she planted spies around me to monitor my every move.

Ye Cheng asked uncertainly, "Could the hotel manager, Zhou Chunhong, also be someone your stepmother sent to spy on you?"

Shen Qingrou nodded: "It's not just Zhou Chunhong, even my assistant Du Miaowei was placed by her by my side."

I installed listening devices in my office at headquarters and in the car the company provided for me.

That really took a lot of effort.

Ye Cheng pointed to the room they were in: "There were no surveillance cameras installed here?"

Shen Qingrou said, "This place is no exception, but I cleverly dismantled it."

I orchestrated a spy drama, using Nightingale's identity to hack into the hotel's website and disable all of the hotel's surveillance systems.

After understanding the whole story, Ye Cheng pondered for a moment and then asked, "Have you investigated that bank account and phone number?"

Shen Qingrou said, "We investigated, but it was very mysterious, and we didn't get any results."

You've recently shown some business acumen, which has aroused her suspicion.

You said you'd be in the spotlight while I stayed behind the scenes, but in her eyes, we were one.

You represent me.

Your sudden rise to prominence made her feel threatened, which is why she decided to take action against me, staging a scene where a self-driving car crashed into a private car.

Even if I die, it will be an accident, and no one will suspect her.

I know my guess has no evidence and is just a gut feeling.

But I trust my gut feeling.
