"Is this the reason for those changes you made?" Zhang Renshu voiced breathlessly while staring at his lawyer with pain evident in his eyes.
"Yes," His lawyer affirmed in understanding.
As soon as Zhang Renshu got the feedback, his vision darkened as he slumped, the voices in the background, fading within a short time.
"Dad! Dad!" Zhang Liling screamed in fear as she rushed to his side.
At the same time, one of the detectives picked up the phone and called an ambulance while Fang Bingwen came over to help Zhang Renshu up.
"We don't have time to wait for an ambulance. We will take him to the hospital." He said and immediately began to move Zhang Renshu's body along with the help of his lawyer.
Seeing her husband collapse Shi Wenqian stopped screaming for a moment just to digest what was happening.
"Yah! Zhang Renshu, are you playing games just to ignore me in this situation? Let me tell you now, I am your wife and nothing can change that!"
As soon as those words left her lips, Zhang Renshu wiped her face with her palm. "Shut it!" She said through gritted teeth.
Immediately, one of the policemen cane to hold her back.
"Did you just hit me?" Shi Wenqian screamed at her while trying to set herself free from those grasps.
"I will even do it again! You think you are still Mrs. Zhang? You want the entire Zhang family to go down with you? Dream on!" Zhang Liling fired back.
"Yah! You bitch! Do you think I will divorce your father? Never!"
Knowing that this would be the next step they would take, Shi Wenqian used this opportunity to let them know her response.
"Hahaha... I can see you are still dreaming. Why will divorce papers be brought to you when you have already signed them? Also, do you think you or Zhang Mingyu is getting any shares? Dream on!" Zhang Liling posed a question while trying not to hit those cheeks again.
Apparently, her hand was still itching.
"What?" Shi Wenqian was still in total shock and confusing when the detectives and the police took her away.
As for Zhang Mingyu, he remained frozen on the spot as everyone left.
Right as Shi Wenqian was being dragged away, she saw her Secretary and tried to hit her because it just dawned to her that she betrayed her.
"You! Bitch! I will kill you once I get my hands on you!"
Secretary Cha remained unfazed as the policemen dragged her outside.
"You will be called to the station to give your witness statement soon but for the time being, ensure that those ladies do not upload any videos from here." Liling instructed before walking past her.
"Yes, Ma'am." Secretary Cha replied with a bow before immediately getting to work.
Unfortunately, she couldn't undo what has been done as one of the maids has already posted something online, so she could only seize the phones and get the security men in the house to take of the gossipy one amongst them.
On getting to the hospital, Zhang Liling received a call regarding the already trending news.
'Chairman Zhang Renshu sues Shi Wenqian for paternity fraud.'
'Shi Wenqian is arrested for her involvement in organ trafficking.'
'Chairman Zhang Renshu suffers a heart attack. The wedding with the Ong's cancelled?'
Within the span of an hour, the internet exploded with different news about the Zhang family.
On seeing the news, Mr. Ong quickly tried to reach Zhang Renshu, but he was attended to, by his lawyer who regrettably concurred to the news. But since it was not his place to give the full details, he passed the phone Zhang Liling who gave the order for the wedding to be cancelled.
From over the phone, Mr. Ong flared up and started cursing, prompting her to give the phone back to the lawyer.
She didn't need any more ache to her head as she wasn't feeling okay as well.
Within the next hour, the Ong family released a statement, calling off the wedding and as soon as they did that, they went off the radar as all efforts by the media to contact then, proved abortive.
In no time, both the Zhang Residence and the Ong's residence was crowded by reporters seeking a statement from any of them.
Thankfully, the name of the private hospital Zhang Renshu taken to, did not leak to the press otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy to take care of.
At the same time, Mrs. Tang was breaking things in anger after seeing the news.
"Call that witch Zhang Xiaoling! She must have seen this coming and decided to take my son with her! Call her now!" She ordered while holding her head.
Already, her Tang family was being called out by the media and she could count how many calls she has rejected.
Even their landline keeps ringing continuously.
"Ma'am, we can't reach Mrs. Xiaoling or your son. Their lines are not connecting." The servant next to her informed in a panicky state.
"That girl! She did this on purpose! She is so cunning. She dared to deceive us, who knows the kind lies she spewed to my son! The Zhang family is a total joke! I must meet with Mr. Zhang as soon as he gets out of that hospital bed!" She promised.
On the other hand, her husband Mr. Tang sat in his home study thinking deeply about the news. After some seconds, he shook his head before making a call.
Knowing that the news on the internet was also going to affect his business, he instructed his two sons to go to the company and take care of the mess to avoid the company stocks from plummeting.
Already, Zhang Corps shares were going down, and the board of directors were not finding things funny at their end.
*******
After Zhang Renshu's condition was stabilized, and receiving a lot of calls from some of Zhang Corps board members and other people, she made a call to her mother.
"Mum, please you have to come back now. We need you."
"I know. My flight is about to take off. Hold on till I arrive." Song Jujing said as she terminated the call and put her phone on airplane mode before fastening her seatbelt in the first class cabin of the airplane she just boarded.
