Early in the morning of that day, 杜沅 found 佟世青 burning something in front of the fireplace at home. It was a large amount of company documents. Curious, 杜沅 asked him why he was doing that. 佟世青 then revealed that 尹有容, the mayor's secretary, had completely betrayed them. He had handed over the evidence of Mayor 梅耶's crimes to 梅耶's strongest political rival and opponent in this election, Clark. 梅耶's enemies took the opportunity to impeach him, and 梅耶 fell from power. As a businessman who had colluded with 梅耶 for many years, 佟世青 was also facing strict investigations and the risk of imprisonment.
Until then, Du Yuan杜沅 truly realized how many illegal and criminal acts Tong Shiqing佟世青 had committed. 佟世青 also told 杜沅 that it was difficult for him to avoid imprisonment, but in order to preserve his assets, he had set up a trust fund long ago. Now he would transfer all his assets to the trust fund to leave them for his child. When his child turned ten, the child's guardian could withdraw the funds on his behalf. 杜沅 felt strange because they didn't have any children. 佟世青 then revealed that he had imprisoned 杜沅's half-brother 沈萤 for over half a year and had already made him pregnant with his own child, who was seven months pregnant. Now he asked 杜沅 to take care of 沈萤 and his unborn child after he was imprisoned, ensuring that the child was born safely. Shocked and disgusted, 杜沅 immediately rejected his request.
However, Tong Shiqing佟世青 threatened 杜沅 with money and his younger brother 佟世明. He told 杜沅 that if he didn't raise the child for him, 杜沅 would never receive a penny again, and for the first time in his life, 杜沅, who had been well-off since childhood, would taste the bitterness of poverty. Additionally, 佟世明's illness desperately needed the umbilical cord blood of this child for treatment. If the child was not saved, 佟世明 would also face death. Deeply caring for 佟世明, 杜沅 couldn't bear to see him die. Therefore, he reluctantly agreed to protect and raise the child for 佟世青.
