Chapter 155

In truth, this was all a result of Old Master Shang’s cunning schemes. In the past, the Shang Family’s recognized heir was Shang Yong, while Shang Yizong was seen as incompetent, a son whom Old Master Shang did not favor. Every public banquet was attended with his eldest son, Shang Yong, leading the vast majority of people to believe the Shang Family had only one son. Following Shang Yong’s downfall, Shang Yizong was quietly pushed to the forefront. The upper circles were well aware of Shang Yong’s drug addiction. After Old Master Shang issued his orders, everyone, fearing the power of the Shang Family, remained tight-lipped about Shang Yong, never uttering a word. Gradually, the public perception of the Shang Family remained unchanged; they first believed Shang Yong was the sole heir, and later, they simply assumed Shang Yizong was. On the day the evidence was submitted to the police, Shang Yizong was detained, though the police required time to verify its authenticity. In reality, with Shang Che’s influence, this was merely a formality. Two days later, Shang Yizong was jointly brought to court by the police and Shang Che. Shang Che pressed charges for the murder of his parents, while the police charged him with private drug trafficking and forcing others to consume narcotics.
