Chapter 120: The Jin Family Surrenders! Killing Two Birds with One Stone!
Sixty percent of the Jin Family's assets?
And the execution of the only heir?
Shen Anyu's words were like two thunderclaps, detonating in the quiet hospital room. Jin Haining and Jin Shiming's expressions changed drastically, as if they had been physically struck by lightning.
Luo Yuhe was also so shocked that her delicate, pale mouth couldn't close. Her eyes were wide, standing there frozen like a wooden chicken.
The Jin Family was the richest family in Jinling. A trillion-yuan wealthy clan, renowned throughout Yanxia. Their influence spanned industries.
Sixty percent of their assets meant over sixty billion Yuan in liquid and fixed assets. It was an empire.
Shen Anyu actually said he wanted the Jin Family to transfer it to her? To the woman living in a dog kennel?
"Brother Shen... her dad... no, I can't accept this..."
Luo Yuhe immediately grew anxious. She grabbed his sleeve. How could she accept such an immense fortune? It was too much. It was terrifying.
She couldn't accept benefits without contributing. She and her daughter, Luo Xiaoxiao, already owed Shen Anyu too much—their lives, their dignity. How could she accept so much money on top of that?
Luo Yuhe was a traditional woman at heart, with a strong sense of pride. She wasn't a gold digger.
Owing so much kindness... Luo Yuhe didn't know how to repay it! Her life wasn't enough.
However, this was the first time Shen Anyu was forceful in front of Luo Yuhe.
He looked at her, his gaze unwavering. He spoke with an undeniable tone that brooked no argument:
"You must accept! For Xiaoxiao's future."
He even subtly used [God-Level Telekinesis] to press her hand, calming her nerves instantly.
Luo Yuhe was immediately stunned, looking at Shen Anyu with an extremely complex gaze. Fear, gratitude, awe, and something deeper mixed in her eyes.
Shen Anyu found it amusing.
After the [Destiny Plunder System] devoured Qi Fan's [Licking Dog Gold Cashback System], he had gained the Cashback ability.
Anything he spent on a "Top-Tier Goddess" (Favorability 100) would be returned a hundredfold.
Although Luo Yuhe wasn't at 100 favorability yet... she was close. And transferring assets to her was an investment. If he secured 60 billion for her, and she reached max favorability later... the system might trigger a retrospective reward.
Or simply, giving it to Luo Yuhe was a power move that solidified her loyalty forever.
Also, Shen Anyu truly didn't care about money in the worldly sense. He wasn't interested in fiat currency.
Compared to Destiny Value, what was money? Paper.
Could money grant someone a [God-Level Steel Body]? A [Resurrection Stone]? Could it buy immortality? No.
But Luo Yuhe... the sole Destined Heroine of the "God of War" genre... possessed two million Destiny Value base. Shen Anyu was determined to obtain that currency!
At this moment, Jin Haining had finally reacted.
His expression turned grim. He could no longer maintain the ingratiating smile on his face. The mask cracked.
He spoke to Shen Anyu with suppressed anger, his voice tight:
"Young Master Shen... Sixty percent of the Jin Family's assets? And even executing my son?"
"Aren't these two conditions a bit too excessive? Even for the Shen Family?"
"You are the Young Master of the [Yanxia Shen Family]. My [Jinling Jin Family] cannot afford to offend you... but my Jin Family is not without friends! We also have connections in the Imperial Capital..."
Shen Anyu directly raised his hand to interrupt him. He chuckled softly.
"The Liu Family, right?"
Jin Haining froze. He wasn't surprised that Shen Anyu knew. But he was surprised by the tone.
He said with a tense face:
"Young Master Shen... the Liu Family is also a top-tier aristocratic family. They are not much inferior to the Shen Family in political clout."
How could someone reach the level of Jinling's richest man without connections in the Imperial Capital protecting them? The Yanxia Liu Family was the connection Jin Haining had cultivated with billions in bribes over decades.
However, the relationship between the two families wasn't very close; it was purely transactional.
Jin Haining knew deep down that the Liu Family would not fall out with the [Yanxia Shen Family] over a provincial merchant.
However, he absolutely could not accept Shen Anyu's conditions.
Executing Jin Shiming might be acceptable—painful, but survivable. He could have another son. He had mistresses.
But demanding Sixty percent of the Jin Family's assets? That was gutting the family. No matter what, he could not agree to that. It would end their dominance.
Even if it meant a huge loss to get the Liu Family to intervene and negotiate a lighter sentence with the Shen Family, he had to try.
Luo Yuhe looked at Jin Haining, who seemed ready to go down in flames. She leaned close to Shen Anyu's ear, whispering urgently:
"Her dad... Luoxiao and I don't need that much money, really. A small apartment is enough. I don't want to make things difficult for you."
"It's not difficult at all."
Shen Anyu smiled. He took out his phone and directly dialed a number. He put it on speaker.
"Liu Laosan (Third Brother Liu)... does your Liu Family want to go to war with me?"
"What?! Brother Shen? How could that be? Who would dare to go to war with you?!"
A panicked voice rang out from the phone.
In a top-floor office of a government building in the Imperial Capital, a young man in a suit immediately stood up in surprise upon hearing Shen Anyu's voice.
Among the Imperial Capital's princelings, who didn't know Shen Anyu?
He was the only male descendant of the third generation of the [Yanxia Shen Family] and the [Yanxia An Family]. He was the golden boy. Highly valued. Untouchable.
When Shen Anyu went to Modu, many Young Masters in the Imperial Capital even breathed a sigh of relief that the demon was gone.
Now, Shen Anyu's words startled Liu Mingce, the third son of the Liu Family.
"Who is offending you, Brother Shen? Name them!"
Shen Anyu explained calmly. "Jin Haining. Jin Shiming. They claim you back them."
Liu Mingce's expression became solemn.
"Brother Shen... please wait one minute!"
Immediately after, Liu Mingce hung up and took out another red phone. He dialed Jin Haining's number.
Ring!
Jin Haining's phone rang in the hospital room. He answered it with trembling hands.
"Old Liu..."
"Shut up!" Liu Mingce roared.
"Jin Haining! Do you know who Brother Shen is?! Even I can't afford to offend him! Yet you persecuted and suppressed his woman and daughter for five or six years?! You've got some nerve!"
"The Yanxia Shen Family and the Yanxia An Family have always been thinly populated. They protect their own like dragons! If they find out you touched their heir's child... the Jin Family will be finished! Erased!"
"Brother Shen's conditions are already lenient! He's giving you a way out!"
At this point, Liu Mingce also found it a bit strange that Shen Anyu had shown such "mercy." Taking 60% and one life? That was light. Otherwise, given Shen Anyu's past conduct, he would never have let the Jin Family off so easily. He wouldn't have stopped until the Jin Family was bankrupt and utterly ruined.
On the other end of the phone, Jin Haining listened to the scolding from his backer. His face turned ashen gray. The last hope was gone.
After a long while, he bowed his head to Shen Anyu. He looked aged.
"Young Master Shen... I... I, Jin Haining, agree!"
"Dad! You can't agree!"
Jin Shiming shrieked from his wheelchair. His face was filled with terror. "I don't want to die! Dad!"
However, Jin Haining looked at Jin Shiming with cold, dead eyes.
He stepped forward and slapped him fiercely in anger.
Slap!
"Shut up! You brought this on us!"
He turned to his bodyguards.
"Take him down! Go to the police station to surrender! Confess everything! Every murder! Every rape!"
"No! Dad! Don't! Young Master Shen, spare my life! Luo Yuhe! You bitch! Bitch!"
Jin Shiming first pleaded, then wailed, finally becoming hysterical and cursing wildly. He was dragged away by the Jin Family's bodyguards, their hands covering his mouth to silence him.
Jin Haining sighed, his shoulders slumped.
"Young Master Shen... I will quickly organize the Jin Family's assets. I will transfer Sixty percent to Ms. Luo Yuhe by tomorrow."
As his voice fell, Jin Haining walked away with heavy steps, a broken man.
A cold smirk flashed in Shen Anyu's eyes as he watched them leave.
This matter wasn't over yet.
He already had a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Plan:
Leak information to Yan Lingxiao (The War God) that the Jin Family was responsible for his wife's suffering. Use Yan Lingxiao's rage to destroy the remaining 40% of the Jin Family.
Then, use the Jin Family's destruction (a massacre on Yanxia soil) as a pretext to make Yan Lingxiao a pariah. A terrorist. The state machine, led by Aunt An Zhiyue, would crush him.
Seeing the scene before her, Luo Yuhe felt dazed.
Shen Anyu actually made Jin Haining, the richest man in Jinling, cede Sixty percent of his family's assets and abandon his son, Jin Shiming.
Luo Yuhe had once dreamed, in a dog-infested bridge hole on a rainy night, of a day when Jin Shiming and the Jin Family would pay the price.
But Luo Yuhe always woke up to only a bitter smile, because that could only be a dream.
Yet now... the dream had actually become reality.
Jin Shiming, who had persecuted her, was being taken to the police station to surrender. Without the Jin Family's protection, Jin Shiming, burdened with many sins, was destined for execution. A death sentence!
And the Jin Family still had to pay Sixty percent of their assets to her! She was now a multi-billionaire!
All of this was accomplished by a passing man.
As if a peerless hero riding on auspicious colorful clouds had come to rescue her and her daughter, Luo Xiaoxiao, from the abyss!
[Ding! Detected Destined Heroine Luo Yuhe's favorability +6! Plundering +18,000 Destiny Points!]
[Ding! Detected Destined Heroine Luo Yuhe's total favorability 80! Plundering +30,000 Destiny Points!]
