Fade and Joey's cheeks were slightly flushed from tipsiness as they returned home.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw two figures quickly coming over, "Mr. Chen, you're back."

Fade took a step back and frowned slightly, "Who are you and what do you want?"

Both figures hurriedly walked out. One of them said, "Mr. Chen, it's me, Shelby Tuan from Tuan Engineering!"

The young woman beside Shelby continued with a gloomy face, "Mr. Chen, I'm Judy Tuan."

Fade glanced at both of them and his eyes turned cold as he said in a harsh voice, "What brings you here?"

Shelby's face was full of anxiety. "Please, Mr. Chen, save us. Save the Tuan family," he pleaded.

At the same time, Judy handed over an exquisite gift box.

Fade frowned. He didn't accept the gift box but said coldly, "Save you? I don't understand what you're talking about."

Shelby's expression changed and he said in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, Tuan Engineering had a collaboration with Fei Shipping Company on the three cargo ships. Due to the Long family, we..." With that, Fade immediately understood what was going on.

Judy was engaged to Tarlo, and both the Tuan family and the Long family were well-connected. Therefore, they purposely breached the contract with Fei Shipping Company and sold the ships to foreigners. The Tuan family's initial plan was to take this opportunity to please the Long family for their own future benefits and development.

However, they didn't expect that the Long family would cause a rebellion. Even worse, they failed and the whole family was destroyed. The Tuan family had hence suffered a great loss. Now that the Long family was gone, they could only endure it with dogged will.

Still, that wasn't the worst part. The worst was that the three cargo ships that they had breached the contract for had appeared on the rebellion scene, and they had been used by the Long family as the major mode of transportation and as weapons.

Sure enough, it became a big deal.

Currently, the superiors had closed down the factories related to the Long family for an investigation.

Shelby understood the seriousness of the matter and the consequences it would bring. Therefore, he was trying to use his connections to downplay this matter before the higher authorities came to arrest him. However, everyone kicked a man when he's down. With such a terrible incident that had occurred, no one was willing to stand up for the Tuan family.

Fade was his last resort. He had no choice but to bring his daughter along to apologize for the past and ask for help.

"Mr. Chen, you know, those three cargo ships were originally for Fei Shipping Company. We didn't have any attention to go against you nor be involved in the Long family's rebellion. If you can testify for us on this matter...." Shelby said.

Fade snorted and stopped him, "Really? I recall that you personally told me in your office a few days ago that the cargo ships were not for sale to us but to the foreigners."

"How should I testify for you in this case?"

"Mr. Chen, it's a misunderstanding." Shelby explained hurriedly, "We were deceived by the Long family at that time. We only sold the cargo ships to the foreigners for their sake. We didn't expect that they would commit this kind of outrageous act. The Tuan family is also a victim!"

"So what? Does it have anything to do with me?" Fade asked coldly.

Shelby was really anxious. He straight away knelt down to him and begged, "Mr. Chen, please, you must save me! Our family is doomed if you don't help us this time!"

Fade's expression didn't change at all despite the fact that Shelby was crying and begging. He said in a cold tone, "I'm sorry, I don't know anything about the Tuan family's matters. I can't testify for you and I can't save you."

With that, he turned around and was about to leave with Joey.

Shelby's eyes were filled with hopelessness and his face was pale.

Suddenly, Judy who was standing by the side shouted, "Fade, how can

know that our family has been wronged yet you're unwilling toz testify for us. You must be holding a grudge against us and hence, want to take revenge on us."

Upon hearing this, Fade stopped and turned to look at her. His face became serious as he said, "What did you say?"

She couldn't help but tremble a little.

She even took ktwo steps back. However, she still gritted her teeth, and tried to stand still as she blurted, "I said you're a hypocrite who does not live up to your name. You don't want to save us but you try to frame us instead."

"Frame?" He could not help but sneer. "When your family tried to curry favor with the Long family, didn't you think about the risks involved?" He bellowed.

"Your family has been using your military background and the government's forces to develop rapidly, yet in the end, you turned your back on the country and served foreigners. How dare you say that you're wronged? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"We... We were deceived. We didn't know either..." Judy still wanted to defend herself.

He snapped, "Don't bullsh*t me! You are both adults. Since you've made your decision, you should bear the responsibilities and consequences."

"Didn't you think thoroughly when you decided to breach the contract to sell the ships to the foreigners?" He rebutted.

"You were simply trying your luck for the benefits. As such, you ignored the potential risks," he continued.

"Now that it happens, you claim that you were tricked into it and that you were framed. Don't you find it ridiculous? You were so determined when there were benefits but now that you encounter a problem, you want to find an excuse to get away from it. What's worse is that you don't find it wrong at all!"

"Hehe! If that's the case, just go ahead and tell them!" Upon finishing his words, Fade pointed in the direction behind the both of them.

Shelby and Judy turned around and saw several serious-looking men in uniforms coming over.

One of them displayed a document with a red stamp on it and said coldly, "Shelby Tuan and Judy Tuan, you're suspected to be involved in the Long family's case of rebellion. Please come with us and cooperate with our investigation."

Shelby's and Judy's faces instantly became as pale as ashes. They collapsed to the ground and fainted.

Fade sneered when he saw this. He ignored them and took Joey back to the room.

As for Shelby and Judy, they were carried away by the officers and brought into the car. Then, they were taken away.

Fade and Joey saw the scene from the window. They lightly shook their heads and muttered, "You

reap what you sow!"

The relevant authorities were very efficient. The result of the Tuan family's trial was out three days later. Shelby's and Judy's positions in Tuan Engineering were terminated and they were sentenced to fifteen years of imprisonment in the military tribunal.

Only a few people knew about this and the news didn't spread widely in Capital City.

Therefore, the public only thought that there was a change in the senior management of Tuan Engineering. As strange as it might seem, they didn't take it too seriously.

On the other hand, the Long family members had been arrested, and this had triggered all sorts of rumors.
