Chapter 635: The Unfilial Son Scared His Father to Death!

~7 min read 1,309 words

Provincial Government residential compound.

After Shen Baoshan retired to the second line, he began to gradually adapt to a quiet life.

He would take a walk in the nearby square in the morning, eat lunch and take a nap at noon, and play chess with a few retired old men in the park in the afternoon.

It was not that Shen Baoshan liked this kind of life, but rather that he knew his physical condition could no longer withstand a high-intensity work rhythm.

Sometimes Shen Baoshan regretted not taking care of his health when he was young, frequently attending social functions and damaging his body with alcohol.

He received a call from a chess friend and was just preparing to go out.

A black sedan pulled into a parking space, and immediately after, his eldest daughter Shen Minghan stepped out from the driver's seat.

Seeing Shen Minghan's face clouded with gloom, Shen Baoshan asked suspiciously, "What happened?"

Shen Minghan walked over and grabbed Shen Baoshan's hand, "You promise me, don't get agitated!"

Shen Baoshan's heart skipped a beat, and he forced a stiff smile onto his face, "Hmm, it's nothing, what kind of storms haven't I seen!"

"Dad, take a Quick-Acting Heart Pill!" Shen Minghan had kept it hidden for several days because she had been secretly running around for Shen Mingcheng during this time.

But now that the matter was settled, it could no longer be hidden.

It was better to tell her father sooner.

"Just say it quickly, don't dawdle!" Shen Baoshan waved his hand forcefully.

"Dad, Mingcheng, Mingcheng, he's in trouble!" Shen Minghan said while wiping away tears.

"What kind of trouble?"

"He's being investigated by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection!"

"Investigated by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection again? That unfilial son!" Shen Baoshan did not feel surprised that Shen Mingcheng was in trouble, "What about Chen Lan? Does she know about this?"

Shen Minghan bit her lip, her eyes red, and said in a hoarse voice, "Dad, Chen Lan and Mingcheng divorced a few days ago. They are no longer husband and wife!"

Shen Baoshan opened his mouth and roared, "Shen Mingcheng, how could you not tell me about such a big thing! He! He! He!"

Immediately, he clutched his chest, slowly squatted down, and began to cough violently.

Seeing blood seeping through Shen Baoshan's fingers, Shen Minghan cried out in alarm, "Dad, don't scare me..."

Shen Minghan hurriedly dialed 120, and then called her husband He Haiyang.

"Honey, my dad suddenly fainted."

He Haiyang knew his father-in-law's health was poor; otherwise, with his seniority, wanting to advance further would have been a matter of course.

His father-in-law getting into trouble still had some impact on He Haiyang.

After all, one of his big trees had fallen.

"Don't worry, I'm coming over right now!"

"Hmm, we are going to the hospital now, I'll wait for you at the hospital!" After hanging up on He Haiyang, Shen Minghan hugged Shen Baoshan, tears streaming down her face.

She regretted it deeply now; she should have kept it from her father first.

However, she was afraid that her father would find out about this from someone else, which would make an accident more likely.

The ambulance arrived, Shen Baoshan was lifted onto a stretcher, and Shen Minghan followed into the ambulance.

Shen Baoshan woke up briefly, his face showing an extremely unnatural flush.

"Minghan, I don't think I'll make it through this time."

"Dad, you'll be fine."

"Tell me the truth, is someone targeting our Shen Family?"

Shen Minghan nodded through her tears, "It's not clear yet, don't worry, Mingcheng will be fine!"

Shen Baoshan gently gripped Shen Minghan's wrist and said in a low, labored voice, "If I die, you must take good care of Mingcheng. Although he has gone astray, he is your own brother. Also, have Mingcheng and Chen Lan remarry; Chen Lan is a good woman."

Shen Minghan shook her head, controlling her voice, "I promise you, I will definitely take care of Mingcheng. We'll be at the hospital soon. You will definitely be fine!"

After Shen Baoshan finished saying this, his eyes closed, and his head tilted to one side.

The doctor saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly began emergency measures.

"Inject adrenaline, stimulate the heart!"

"Defibrillator!"

Shen Minghan covered her mouth, tears spilling from between her fingers.

The world in her eyes turned black and white; her father was surrounded by medical staff, and with every electric shock, his gaunt torso jolted high.

The instrument kept emitting a sharp alarm sound!

She made a silent vow in her heart: Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of Shen Mingcheng.

However, she would absolutely not let Shen Mingcheng and Chen Lan remarry.

She suspected that Chen Lan was the mastermind behind Shen Mingcheng being investigated.

Hospital, emergency building, outside the resuscitation room.

Shen Minghan placed her hands on her knees, her gaze fixed on the resuscitation room with a lost expression.

Shen Baoshan had already been inside for an hour, and in the meantime, the doctor had asked her to sign many surgical agreements; judging by this signal, the situation was not optimistic.

He Haiyang appeared in her field of vision with hurried steps, and Shen Minghan's tears could no longer be held back as they fell.

He Haiyang hurriedly steadied Shen Minghan, "Dad, how is he?"

Shen Minghan shook her head, "I'm afraid Dad won't be able to hold on this time."

He Haiyang pulled Shen Minghan into his arms, "Don't think nonsense, Dad will definitely be able to pull through."

At this moment, the door to the operating room opened.

The Attending Physician took off his mask.

Shen Minghan rushed over, "Director He, how is my dad?"

Director He shook his head helplessly at Shen Minghan, "I'm sorry, we have already done our best. The person had actually already lost all vital signs on the way here. We made every attempt, but we still couldn't save him. Please accept my condolences!"

Shen Minghan only felt a surge of heat rush up from her throat, and a spray of blood shot out like a flying arrow.

He Haiyang was startled and hurriedly held his wife, whose body had gone limp.

"Minghan, you must be strong. Although Dad is gone, he surely hopes that you will be well."

Shen Minghan slowly regained consciousness amidst a dizzy spell.

"Husband, why does Mingcheng keep running into trouble after arriving in Hanzhou? Someone must be playing tricks in the shadows. The last thing my dad said to me was to take care of him. Now, in this world, I am his only relative."

He Haiyang held Shen Minghan tightly in his arms, "Mingcheng is also my younger brother; I promise you, I will definitely take good care of him. As for who is acting in the shadows, I will also get to the bottom of it! He has offended not only the Shen Family but also our He Family!"

Although he had quite a few grievances against Shen Mingcheng, this matter now involved him as well.

Shen Mingcheng indeed had problems, but this time the punishment for him was too harsh.

Shen Mingcheng was definitely going to jail, and his life would have a stain on it because of this.

He Haiyang subconsciously glanced at his watch; it was already past twelve midnight, and it was already New Year's Eve.

His father-in-law passing away at this time cast a shadow over the family.

From now on, every year when the people of the whole country are celebrating, it will become an inescapable gloom.

This brother-in-law of his really knows how to stir up trouble!

The Shen Family is, at any rate, considered a quasi-first-tier power in Huai Province.

Now, he has single-handedly pulled the Shen Family down from its pedestal.
