Chapter 575: Chapter 575 Shan’s Stocks (3)_1

And now, these maneuvers were clearly not the government giving the Shan Family a hard time, but purely the handiwork of someone from the business world. Therefore, Old Master Shan was somewhat uncertain. But among those he knew, including those who had quarrels with him and the Shan Family, not a single person had the capability to make the Shan Family’s stock plunge to such a degree in such a short period of time.

Old Master Shan made a call to his secretary, asking about the company’s stock situation and also instructed him to immediately find out who was behind this. He would soon be at the company, personally taking charge to resolve the issue and ensure the Shan Family successfully weathered this crisis.

However, before Old Master Shan could get in the car to the company, Shan Dongling, who had been absent for a long time, showed up at the entrance of the Shan residence holding a newspaper, stopping Old Master Shan who was about to leave: "Grandfather, I need to speak with you."

"What do you want? Enough, I have urgent matters to attend to right now. I have no time to waste with you. If you really have something, wait until I deal with my matters and come back," Old Master Shan said impatiently, glancing at Shan Dongling before preparing to get into the car.

But this time, Shan Dongling did not step aside obediently after being dismissed with such impatience by Old Master Shan as before. Instead, after listening to her grandfather, a sneer emerged at the corner of her mouth. She insisted, "Grandfather, I think you should take a look at the newspaper I’m holding. If you don’t look at it now, I think you’ll regret it."

With that, Shan Dongling, regardless of Old Master Shan’s expression, thrust the newspaper at him and then turned to leave. Shan Dongling’s departure was without the slightest hesitation.

Shan Dongling’s feelings for the Shan Family had been clear after Old Master Shan, without hesitation and upon hearing his stepmother and sister’s words, decided to introduce Situ Che, who was originally meant for her, to her sister, without asking for her feelings.

Situ Che was the first boy she ever liked, the first who she had let into her heart deeply. They didn’t know how ecstatic she felt when her grandfather told her he would introduce Situ Che to her. She could still recall that feeling to this very day.

Moreover, because of the intense joy she felt before, one could imagine the heartbreak she suffered when she personally heard her grandfather say he would introduce Situ Che to her sister. That feeling of heartbreak, Shan Dongling would never forget for the rest of her life.

It was a hope personally shattered by her grandfather. It was then that Shan Dongling truly woke up to the reality that, in the Shan Family, there was no longer any place for the longings she held onto. And even if there were, they only belonged to her half-sister and brother, while she was utterly superfluous.

The awakened Shan Dongling eventually chose to leave the Shan Family. But this time, Shan Dongling inadvertently saw such explosive news on the front page of the most famous entertainment newspaper, and she couldn’t just sit idly by. She took the newspaper and delivered it personally to her so-called grandfather at the Shan residence.

Shan Dongling, while walking away, wondered about the reaction of her dear grandfather upon seeing the front-page headline of that newspaper.

Currently, Shan Dongling could hardly contain the emotions she had suppressed for years; it was as if a dismal sky had been torn open, releasing a dazzling burst of light.

On the other hand, Old Master Shan was quite displeased with his eldest granddaughter’s behavior that day. As an extra newspaper appeared in his arms, he wanted to lift his head and rebuke his eldest granddaughter, but when he looked up, he found that Shan Dongling was already far off, leaving him only with her straight, retreating figure. Old Master Shan cursed under his breath, "This Shan Dongling is getting worse as she grows older, leaving without even saying goodbye to her grandfather properly."

Old Master Shan grumbled to himself while his hands were busy flipping open the paper Shan Dongling had stuffed into them. He opened it to the front page.

Just glancing at the headline and one of the photographs on the first page, Old Master Shan lost his composure. He quickly turned the paper over, staring intently at it.

The newspaper bore the bold headline "Life of Capital City’s Shan Family Heiress." The boldness of the title was one thing, but the real photographs and the captions beside them were even more daring.

It could not be determined whether the publication of these photographs was intentional by the paparazzi or some twist of fate. In every picture, the most prominent person, easily recognizable at a glance, was definitely Shan Qiuling. The others in the photographs were completely unidentifiable.

In the photographs, Shan Dongling was shown with revealing expressions and almost no clothing on, with some pictures even depicting her fully nude. The newspaper had deliberately not shadowed a single photograph.

Such photos were even more sensational than any "leaked photos" of stars that would come later.

"What is all this? Which media outlet is this, daring to slander our Shan Family this way? I, I will not let them off lightly," Old Master Shan exclaimed, angered to the point of tossing the newspaper away.

Unable to handle such an unexpected shock, Old Master Shan’s blood pressure began to rise uncontrollably. One moment he was furious, the next he was slumped over in the car seat in pain, clutching his chest, and letting out pained groans.

The sudden change in Old Master Shan startled the chauffeur, causing him to slam on the brakes. He quickly got out of the car, opened the rear door, and asked anxiously, "Chairman, how are you? What’s the discomfort?"

But by then, Old Master Shan was too pained to have the strength to answer the driver’s questions.

Seeing Old Master Shan unresponsive, the driver broke into a cold sweat, his hands trembling as he pulled out his phone and dialed emergency services.

When Old Master Shan saw those newspapers, Situ Xin had also seen that same issue of the newspaper.

The news had been released to the entertainment media by Situ Xin himself. And these photos and information had been provided to Situ Xin by The Dark Division.

Upon learning that the Shan Family and the Liu Family had colluded to scheme against Situ Che, Xiang Yang, and his team began an investigation. They dug deep into every member of the Shan Family and the Liu Family, uncovering every habit and preference in detail.
