Chapter 349: Chapter 349: A Thought of Heaven, A Thought of Hell_1

With Ning Fan’s departure, the battle at sea came to a close.

But things didn’t settle down, quite the opposite. Pei Wanjian’s defeat caused a massive stir in the upper echelons of Shen City society!

"The Shen Family lost the bet with that kid? Even with Pei Wanjian fighting for them, they didn’t win?!"

"Just who is this kid, that even Pei Wanjian was defeated by him? Go investigate! Who exactly is this person?!"

"The Shen Family lost, so will they really honor the bet? If they do, heh, then the richest family in Shen City might just..."

The wealthy families sent their people one after another to investigate Ning Fan’s background.

As Shen City trembled with uncertainty, gloom and despair hung heavy over the Shen Family Manor.

All the members of the Shen Family gathered there, each wearing a look of worry, and many faces were filled with anger and resentment.

"Family Head, we’re not blaming Bingying, but this whole mess is clearly her fault!"

"That’s right, Ning Fan was so powerful. If you had just given him the token when he first asked for it, wouldn’t that have been the end of it?"

"And the three billion you owed, they already said they didn’t want the debt, just the token. Why didn’t you agree?!"

Faced with the accusations, Shen Bingying remained silent, sitting in a corner with tears welling up in her eyes.

Shen Qifa’s face was grim as he said coldly, "Now is not the time to talk about this! I didn’t call you here to complain! We need to find a way to resolve this matter and save our Shen Family from crisis!"

At his words, the family members looked at each other and fell into a silent stupor.

Shen Qifa’s face was livid with anger, "Speak up! Weren’t you all so eager to talk just now? Have you all become mute?!"

A family member hesitated for a moment, then mustered their courage and said, "Family Head, why don’t we just deny the bet? What can Ning Fan do to us?"

"Deny it?" Shen Qifa’s brows furrowed, "Will that work?"

"What’s the problem with that? As if he can just forcefully take our family’s assets?!" the family member retorted with a stiff neck.

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement with the idea.

"That’s right, let’s just outright deny it!"

"I don’t believe Ning Fan can just collect on it by force!"

"Our Shen Family is the richest in Shen City, we can just call the patrol officers to protect us!"

The next moment, an urgent knocking sounded from outside the door.

Opening the door revealed Dai Zhenggang and his constables.

"Hello, Family Head Shen, in accordance with the bet you placed with Mr. Ning, I am here to enforce the law impartially!"

Dai Zhenggang held out the bet, an expression of uncompromising integrity on his square face.

Shen Qifa’s face turned extremely ugly!

Previously, in order to prevent Ning Fan from reneging on the bet, he had asked Dai Zhenggang to make a public notary. He hadn’t expected that he would end up shooting himself in the foot!

"Everyone out, aside from your personal attire, everything else is within the scope of the bet and cannot be taken with you!"

With a wave of his hand, Dai Zhenggang promptly drove all of the Shen Family members out.

After being forcibly evicted, the pitiful Shen Family members stood huddled on the roadside, gazing at Shen Qifa with hope in their eyes.

"Family Head, what should we do now?"

"That’s right, Family Head... Are we really going to hand over all our assets to him?"

"Family Head, we can’t give it all to him! At the very least, our villas, manors... we have to have somewhere to live, right?"

The people of the Shen Family were on the verge of tears.

Shen Qifa clenched his teeth, saying coldly, "Don’t worry, the Shen Family still has quite a few private assets outside. I refuse to believe..."

Before he could finish, they saw Dai Zhenggang approaching with a stack of contracts.

"Family Head Shen, these are all of the Shen Family’s properties in Shen City. Now they all need to be transferred to Mr. Ning’s name. Please sign here."

The contracts listed everything from real estate to financial assets, cash, property, houses, luxury yachts, stocks, bonds, company shares... all without omission!

Shen Qifa’s face turned black as night, he wanted to flatly refuse, but then he remembered Pei Wanjian’s warning.

"Family Head Shen, this bet has legal significance. Frankly speaking, even if you don’t sign, these assets can still be transferred to Mr. Ning’s name," Dai Zhenggang coolly reminded.

"You!"

Desperation filled Shen Qifa, and after a long silence, he finally dejectedly signed his name on the contract.

In the end, aside from the still comatose old Master Shen in the Shen Family Old Mansion, everyone was expelled!

The night deepened, and the group was penniless, not even having enough money to stay in a hotel.

The Shen Family members, who had once lived in luxury, were now like a band of vagabonds wandering the streets, shivering with cold and hunger.

"Look, aren’t those the people from the Shen Family? I heard their entire fortune was taken, and now they’re left to roam the streets!"

"That’s too tragic, for a mighty family to fall to such a state, truly from heaven to hell in an instant!"

"Serves them right for not repaying debts. Heh, this is what happens to deadbeats! It’s so satisfying to see!"

Surrounding murmurs pierced the ears of the Shen Family members, their faces flushing red with shame and indignation.

"It’s all your fault!"

Unable to bear it any longer, one of the Shen Family members finally lashed out at Shen Qifa with a loud shout:

"Shen Qifa, if you hadn’t defaulted on the debt, how could we have ended up like this?"

"Shen Bingying, it’s all your fault! All of this, all your fault!"

"If you hadn’t meddled with that kid in the first place, hadn’t coveted his damn formula, hadn’t made that bet with him, would we have fallen to such lows?"

Shen Qifa, Shen Wanxin, Shen Bingying instantly became the public enemies of the Shen Family, encircled and furiously berated by their kin.

The three of them hung their heads in silence, letting the Shen Family members hurl insults at them without offering any rebuttal.
