Quick Transmigration: Help, The Male Leads Are All Broken!

Under the forensic investigator's examination, it was finally determined that Old Master Shen died from a drug overdose. Generally speaking, there had indeed been cases of patients overdosing on medication before, but Old Master Shen's case was different. Ever since he fell ill, he had a professional caregiver with him, so it was impossible for such a basic error to occur. With this conclusion, Mother Shen grew increasingly anxious, especially after the police intervened in the investigation. Sure enough, not long after, under the weight of various pieces of evidence, Mother Shen was convicted.

As soon as this news broke, Shen Corp's already precarious stock prices plummeted. Without Old Master Shen, only Shen Ling and his father remained, and Shen Corp simply couldn't function. Even after hiring others at high salaries to take over as CEO, Shen Corp continued to shrink daily, ultimately facing bankruptcy.

Mother Shen's imprisonment was inconceivable to Shen Ling and his father. Everyone could see that Old Master Shen disliked Shen Yuan. Moreover, even if Shen Yuan became the CEO of Shen Corp, they would still receive dividends. Why risk everything? Now, not only was Mother Shen in prison, but Shen Corp was also ruined, leaving behind a mountain of debt. Shen Ling and his father shifted their resentment onto Mother Shen.

Father Shen, in particular, accustomed to a life of luxury, now found himself hounded by creditors daily. His hair turned white, yet he couldn't come up with any solutions. In the end, he could only vent all his anger on Mother Shen.

Although Mother Shen was imprisoned, visitation was allowed. However, she didn't expect that her family's visit would be a barrage of vicious insults.

Father Shen had always been somewhat cowardly, perhaps due to his mother's strict upbringing. After marrying the fiery Mother Shen, he became even more passive. However, he didn't think much of it, as he had servants attending to his every need and endless money. This was enough for him. But these days of privilege had come to an abrupt end.

Father Shen, like a rabid dog, furiously berated Mother Shen. Finally, a prison guard, unable to bear witness any longer, intervened and pulled him away, ending the tirade.

Father Shen left, and while Shen Ling remained silent, the former playboy now appeared utterly decadent, his clothes wrinkled, his hair disheveled, slumped over – almost indistinguishable from a street vagrant.

Mother Shen, confined to prison, had been unaware of the outside world's events. Seeing her son's state, she panicked. "A-Ling, what's wrong? Tell Mother, what happened?"

Although Shen Ling was smiling, his smile was chilling. "What's wrong? Shen Corp is finished, Mom. Why did you kill Grandpa?"

Mother Shen was incredulous. She knew her son and husband were unreliable, but they had money. With money, they could easily hire others at high salaries, just like Old Master Shen had done before. How could it be over?

Shen Ling was lifeless. Though only in his twenties, he lacked any vitality. "Ten billion. We sold everything we could, and now, Shen Corp still owes ten billion." He laughed, then retreated, backing against the wall, where he wept helplessly.

Visiting hours were limited, especially after Father Shen's earlier outburst. The prison guards were already urging them to leave.

In the end, Mother Shen went mad.

Inside the apartment, Su Tang nestled against Shen Yuan, browsing the web. Suddenly, she came across news of Shen Corp's bankruptcy and Mother Shen's descent into madness in prison.

During this period, Shen Corp had practically become headline news. Initially, it was just the plummeting stock prices, followed by scandals of Shen Corp cutting corners, then the breaking of the capital chain, Shen Corp's bankruptcy, and now, Mother Shen's breakdown.

Su Tang sighed. "Tsk, why don't people know when to be content? This is a real-life example of greed destroying everything. Look, in the end, she grasped nothing."

Shen Yuan merely glanced at the news, his expression unchanged. He had thought he would be happy to see Shen Corp crumble, but now he realized that Shen Corp was no longer his obsession. The little wife in his arms was his life, his everything.

"Mm." He responded lazily, almost dismissively. Seeing his wife still engrossed in the news, he tossed the tablet aside with a hint of displeasure.

Su Tang was annoyed. "Stop it, I have a video conference soon!"

Shen Yuan's face fell, and he leaned against her neck pitifully. "What's so interesting about the news? What's so important about the conference?"

His words sounded like a modern-day version of "From now on, the emperor will not hold court!"

Su Tang kicked him playfully. "Well, who announced that I'm the CEO of Abyss? Now everyone's watching me. I can't slack off."

Shen Yuan touched his nose guiltily. He knew his wife knew nothing about investment banking, so he was still handling the company's affairs, but she was the public face. This way, they were inseparable.

He coughed, regaining his composure. "Alright, I'll go to the meeting. Don't be angry. By the way, what do you want for dinner?"

Su Tang glared at him and blurted out, "You!"

Shen Yuan's face lit up. "Okay, it's a deal then."

Su Tang: … A slip of the tongue, damn it.

The video conference was starting in five minutes. With nothing to do, Su Tang entertained herself online with her adoring fans. She was a celebrity now, the kind who had a legion of fans calling her "husband."

For instance, today, with the news about Shen Corp, her fans were spamming the comments.

-- I'm so jealous! What a sweet love story! Our CEO Cheng said Shen Corp would fall, and today, it completely collapsed.

-- Forget those cheesy CEO romance novels, our CEO Cheng is the real deal!

-- I'm new here, and I was going to call you 'husband' like everyone else, but after seeing CEO Shen's Weibo, I'm confused. Forget it, from today onwards, I've decided I have two husbands! I'm so clever~

…

Su Tang was having a blast, so much so that she didn't even notice when Shen Yuan finished his meeting, until he walked up to her and took away her tablet.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" She asked instinctively, noticing his unusual expression.

Shen Yuan said, "I just received news that your father was seriously injured in a construction accident some time ago and is hospitalized."

After Ye family's bankruptcy, Father Ye lost his source of income. Initially, he was too proud to take on menial jobs, refusing to work. It wasn't until Ye Jiao and her mother found a new benefactor and abandoned him that he finally faced reality. In the end, to survive, he resorted to working as a construction worker.

Shen Yuan continued, "He wants to see you now."

Su Tang raised an eyebrow. "See me?"

Shen Yuan explained, "It seems like a deathbed repentance. He suddenly regained clarity, feels remorseful for how he treated you, and is confessing at the hospital."

Su Tang clicked her tongue. If he had repented earlier, the real Ye Jiao wouldn't have died. As a system-assigned character, the majority of the people she played were deceased.

"I won't go." Father Ye needed to repent to Ye Jiao, not to her, a fake daughter pretending to be her.

Father Ye eventually died. As a final act of restitution, he surprisingly willed his remaining compensation to his eldest daughter in Country M. Su Tang ended up donating the money.

Without the Shen family and the Ye family causing trouble, life became unexpectedly peaceful. Although quiet, it was exceptionally warm and fulfilling.

This was evident when Shen Yuan was on his deathbed. Listening to the system's final prompts, Su Tang saw him off on his final journey.

Shen Yuan held Su Tang's hand. If there was anything he was reluctant to leave behind in this life, it was her.
