Chapter 274: Chapter 274 Unfortunate Family 2_1

Shen Tianxing returned quickly, carrying a big bag of various fruits. "Grandma, I’m back."

As she entered, she also saw the Dugu Family’s elderly mistress and Cheng Xiuhong sitting in the hall.

Cheng Xiuhong had once met her at her engagement ceremony with Dugu Zixi.

She was about the same age as the Dugu family’s old mistress, and there was a similar air of elegance and nobility between their brows and eyes, both were well-preserved old ladies.

But at this moment, a dark aura encircled Cheng Xiuhong’s brow, with a menacing energy tumbling about, signaling an impending disaster.

Shen Tianxing’s fine eyebrows slightly furrowed.

When the Dugu family’s old mistress saw Shen Tianxing return, she hurriedly waved to her, "Xiaoxing, come quickly, your Grandma Cheng has an urgent matter and wants to ask for your help."

Seeing the usually smiling face of the Dugu family’s old mistress now filled with seriousness, Shen Tianxing replied earnestly, "Grandma, we’re all family, there’s no need to talk of asking."

She then looked toward Cheng Xiuhong and said softly, "Grandma Cheng, please say what the matter is, I will definitely help you if I can."

Cheng Xiuhong looked at Shen Tianxing with gratitude, "Thank you, Xiaoxing, thank you!"

Next, Cheng Xiuhong recounted the whole process of Zhuang Li being kidnapped to Shen Tianxing.

Shen Tianxing had activated her Heavenly Eye as soon as the conversation began.

In her Heavenly Eye, she saw a scene that shocked her deeply.

The case of Zhuang Li being kidnapped turned out to be the doing of their own biological son, Zhuang Jiaqin!

What a family misfortune!

To think they had raised such an unfilial son!

In her Heavenly Eye, Shen Tianxing also saw that Zhuang Jiaqin had been egged on by a "friend" to go gambling on Ao Island.

In the end, he foolishly fell into the trap set by that so-called "friend" and business rivals, incurring a huge gambling debt.

They scared him, and not only did he sell his shares in Cheng family’s real estate, but under his "friend’s" instigation, he even went so far as to have his father kidnapped and demanded ransom money from his mother to repay the debt.

Zhuang Jiaqin never considered that by doing so, he was sending his father to the gallows.

After kidnapping Zhuang Li, those scoundrels not only extorted one hundred million and one billion respectively from Cheng Xiuhong but also forced Zhuang Li to unconditionally transfer his shares in Cheng real estate to them.

Zhuang Li and Cheng Xiuhong had been through many years together, their relationship loving and affectionate, naturally not willing to let others succeed in their scheming—he would rather die than sign that transfer document.

Enraged, the kidnapping ringleader picked up a wrench and struck him on the head, killing Zhuang Li with those blows.

Zhuang Li died without closing his eyes in peace.

But when Zhuang Li saw Zhuang Jiaqin, who had ostensibly left due to an errand, arrive at the kidnapper’s seaside hut where they murdered him, Zhuang Li’s eyes nearly exploded with shock.

His beloved son was actually involved in this crime!

Zhuang Li felt utterly heartbroken, his spirit crushed to ashes in an instant!

Seeing his father already dead, Zhuang Jiaqin, who had rushed over, collapsed to the ground in fright, holding his father’s corpse and wailing bitterly.

The kidnappers, watching Zhuang Jiaqin cry in such a state, all sneered coldly at the scene.

The kidnapper leader spoke to him coldly, "Master Zhuang, cut the act. Stop this pretense of a mouse shedding tears for a cat. Instead, hurry up and tell us, how are you going to help us get the stocks that your mother holds?"

Seeing his father had already died before him, Zhuang Jiaqin was already in a state of panic and helplessness, with no idea what to do.

At the mention of targeting his mother, Zhuang Jiaqin, who instinctively feared his imposing mother, shook his head without thinking, "No! You can’t do this! You’ve already taken my father’s and my shares, and you’ve gotten the 1.1 billion in ransom, you can’t keep going, I beg you, please stop!"

But even as Zhuang Jiaqin knelt down with tears streaming down his face, begging them, those heartless kidnappers remained unmoved.

They were hired to seize Cheng’s real estate, and how could they possibly let go before the mission was completed?

Zhuang Jiaqin was beaten by them again, beaten so hard that he vomited blood and lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long while. They even threatened him with a chainsaw to cut off his hand, and Zhuang Jiaqin finally couldn’t hold out any longer and compromised to their demands.

Armed with the hypnotic drug provided by the kidnappers, he was to follow their orders, drug his mother Cheng Xiuhong, and then have her unknowingly sign the stock transfer papers for Cheng’s real estate.

Even if Zhuang Jiaqin was foolish, by now he knew he had been set up and used by that "friend."

His father had already been killed by him.

Was he really going to kill his mother too?

But the other side had said that if he didn’t do it, the ones to die would be him and his son and wife.

What should he do?

Who would save him?

Zhuang Jiaqin was released by the kidnappers, and not daring to go home directly, he changed clothes in a hotel outside, cleaned himself up, and then drove back to his home at South Island Gardens.

Upon his return, he saw that his mother was not at home, and upon asking his sister, he found out that his mother had actually sought help from Old Madame Dugu.

Zhuang Jiaqin was very clear about the influence of Old Madame Dugu, which was also why he had always tried to prevent his mother from seeking help from her.

If the Dugu Family’s power got involved, his crime of killing his own father would be exposed.

But no matter how much Zhuang Jiaqin had calculated, he had not expected that in the short time he was out, his mother would seek help from Old Madame Dugu.

Zhuang Jiaqin sat despondently on the sofa, thinking to himself, it’s over, it’s all over, he was completely done for!

He hadn’t tipped off the kidnappers either.

In fact, he hated those kidnappers to the extreme. If he could truly use the Dugu Family’s help to deal with those kidnappers, then his family would be safe, wouldn’t they?

On the other side, Shen Tianxing had already seen the whole chain of events through the Heavenly Eye.

She couldn’t help but feel sorry for Cheng Xiuhong; to have raised such a heartless son, how heartbroken she would be if she knew her husband was killed by her own son!

But now it was too late, the malady was set to spread to Cheng Xiuhong and there was no turning back, so Shen Tianxing could not but be blunt with her.

"Grandma Cheng, the troubles in your family, I’m afraid, have been caused by an unhappy home," she said.

Cheng Xiuhong and Old Madame Dugu were both stunned when they heard this.

Cheng Xiuhong hurriedly asked, "Xiaoxing, what do you mean by that?"

Shen Tianxing let out a light sigh and said to her, "Grandma Cheng, I’m going to tell you the truth, but you have to be prepared. Please try to control your emotions and not get too agitated. Take care of yourself, alright?"

Hearing Shen Tianxing say this so seriously made both Cheng Xiuhong and the old lady even more uneasy.
