Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!
Chapter 240 - Chapter 240 Chapter 240 Got You

Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Got You! Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Got You! Zhou Jiawang and Lu Xining sat facing each other.

He showed a bitter smile, “Gou Shanmu has very severe inherited schizophrenia.”

Hearing this secret from Zhou Jiawang, Lu Xining showed no surprise.

Even if it wasn’t schizophrenia, based on Gou Shanmu’s recent behavior, she didn’t seem like a normal person.

In Port City, those with severe schizophrenia who commit murder are exempt from legal responsibilities.

At the same time, people with this illness must be confined in specialized psychiatric hospitals to receive treatment.

The actual effects are minimal.

However, Gou Shanmu’s father manipulated secretly, using his influence to block all the news, allowing her to live like a normal person.

Lu Xining learned from him that Gou Shanmu’s schizophrenia was inherited from her mother.

And the so-called life-saving grace was all Gou Shanmu’s own delusion, where her brain fabricated this whole incident.

The reason Zhou Jiawang went along with her story was that Father Zhou was dealing with a certain person when Gou Ruibo’s men captured evidence.

That person’s father was a guest of a superior in Port City. If he found out this incident was related to Father Zhou, the consequences would be severe.

Gou Ruibo used this to blackmail Zhou Jiawang, demanding that he marry his daughter.

Even though Zhou Jiawang had clearly expressed that he would never marry Gou Shanmu, knowing the internals, Old Lady Zhou and Father Zhou forcefully demanded that he marry her.

He still remembered the words his grandmother had said.

“So what if she’s crazy or foolish? Once the wedding is over, just set her up in a separate house and arrange more people to watch over her, right?”

“Awang, as long as you marry Gou Shanmu, press down your father’s affair, after the wedding, you can play however you want.”

In wealthy families, marriages are mostly not decided by the children themselves; it’s like an unspoken rule.

Yet Zhou Jiawang didn’t believe in this superstition, no matter how the Zhou Family tried to persuade him, he refused to marry Gou Shanmu.

It wasn’t because of Gou Shanmu’s illness, but because he simply didn’t love her!

Today, he essentially laid bare his own wounds, presenting all his pain in front of the woman he liked.

He didn’t long for her love, but he also didn’t want his feelings for her to be tainted by any stain.

Love should be pure and flawless!

Thinking of the danger associated with Gou Shanmu, he cautioned Lu Xining, “Her schizophrenia is getting more and more severe, sometimes normal, sometimes insane. You should stay far away when you see her.”

Lu Nuonuo opened her mouth in shock: Is the adult world this terrifying?

The milk in the bottle was all finished.

Lu Xining skillfully took the bottle from her daughter, clasped her wide-opened mouth with her warm palm, and wiped her mouth corner with a tissue.

Even though she knew that affection in wealthy families was thin,

Lu Xining never expected that someone would push their own grandchildren, their own children, into the fire pit.

Most inherited and severe cases of schizophrenia are almost impossible to control manually.

Even with medication and multiple layers of psychological treatment, it can only temporarily stabilize the patient’s mood.

If Zhou Jiawang really married Gou Shanmu,

what awaited him was not just an emotional breakdown but potentially the end of his life.

A case previously occurred abroad where a severe schizophrenic dismembered a victim, without even knowing he had committed murder.

Under the control of his illness, he completely lost control of his thoughts, acted on certain brain chemicals, and then shrewdly eliminated all evidence after brutally murdering the victim.

If it weren’t for a camera set up to film wild animals, which coincidentally recorded the man’s crime,

the murderer would never have been found!

Having such a ticking time bomb in Port City was undoubtedly a very dangerous matter.

Lu Xining asked him, “Does your mother know about this?”

Zhou Jiawang sighed deeply, “She didn’t know before, but she knows now.”

A few months ago, Feng Suli suddenly received a set of anonymous information.

It detailed Father Zhou’s extramarital affair and his partners, even including his illegitimate children, who were kept abroad at great expense.

Today, these illegitimate children also enjoy the right to inherit their father’s property.

This was an unfavorable situation for Feng Suli.

For her, Zhou Jiawang, who excelled in every aspect, was her capital for boasting, her most perfect creation in this lifetime.

Therefore, initially, Feng Suli firmly disagreed!

But upon learning that Gou Shanmu’s future dowry included 30% of the shares in Gou Family Ship Company and over ten billion in fixed assets, she not only compromised but also went out of her way to increase his chances to interact with Gou Shanmu.

Hearing this, Lu Xining’s mouth twitched.

She looked at Zhou Jiawang in front of her with some sympathy and remained silent.

Little Dumpling, however, grew more and more interested as he listened.

He even poured a glass of water for Zhou Jiawang, supporting his little face with both hands, blinking his clear big eyes.

It was as if he was saying, “Go on, I love listening.”

When Wang Snake returned, he saw three people getting along harmoniously and thought to himself that this was not good, quickly informing his boss.

The mobile phone on the table vibrated; it was Fu Junhang’s arranged contact arriving.

As she rose to leave, she heard Zhou Jiawang repeatedly admonishing her, “Don’t confront the madman directly.”

Back in her room.

Lu Xining had Haozi check on Gou Ruibo’s recent movements and his trajectory from a fisherman to president of the Port City Ship Company.

She was also pondering the driver in the family photo, the young man who greatly resembled Gou Ruibo. Perhaps it was Gou Ruibo himself.

While Lu Xining was speculating this, Gou Ruibo was also extremely busy.

He had been trying to establish a sales route between Jingzhou and Beicheng Port, but all the ship specifications were controlled by the Ji and Shang families.

Gou Ruibo had proposed cooperation several times, but was every time met with noncommittal responses.

Using international ships to secretly transport certain contraband for huge profits had always been a secret of the Gou Family Ship Company.

He declared forcefully to the conference room, “This year, we must open a new port, be it the Jingzhou Ji Family or the Beicheng Family!”

Everyone below bowed their heads, no one daring to make any promises.

–

On the plane to Port City.

After much deliberation, Ji Muye had still decided not to bring the twins.

After all, Port City was not his territory.

If something really happened, with many vulnerabilities, it wouldn’t be appropriate to protect any of them.

The best approach was to ensure their protection in advance!

Upon landing at Port City Airport, Ji Muye saw an unexpected person.

The current head of the Beicheng Family, Shang Lvxing.

The other party sensed the gaze, turned his head, saw it was Ji Muye, halted his steps, and gave a slight nod as a greeting.

Both the black Maybach and Bentley left the airport at the same time, and both entered the underground parking lot of Port City Xiangxie Hotel.

When Ji Muye and Shang Lvxing met again at the elevator entrance, the two equally competent and customarily silent men were both slightly startled.

Then they each took the elevator upstairs.

The moment the elevator doors opened.

Little Dumpling, having received the information beforehand and accompanied by Wang Snake and others along with the Lu Family’s bodyguards, grabbed the man stepping out of the elevator.

“Wow! Caught you!”
