Chapter 286 The End of the Shen Family
In an ordinary family, an elderly person may be a burden, or they may be a highly respected member of the family.
However, here, how long an elderly person can live is not just a matter for their family.
The underlying considerations are too numerous to detail here, so I'll omit them.
It can only be said that the benefits of an elderly person living an extra year are immeasurable.
Soon someone got their hands on more detailed information, and at that point, some secrets were no longer secrets.
Then Wu Tao suddenly received many invitations, and of course, everyone who knew the secret chose to keep quiet.
In reality, only a few families are truly capable of being invited, or rather, truly have the ability to understand it.
Wu Tao had already considered the consequences when he decided to take action. So when the other party asked him about it, he didn't hide anything.
Besides explaining that this situation cannot truly reverse aging, he also mentioned other points.
The best outcome is to maintain the effect for several months to several years, and you may even suffer damage for a period of time.
No one doubted Wu Tao's explanation; on the contrary, they admired his brilliance even more. This was because it was something they could understand, not something they were truly listening to as a myth.
However, this did not diminish their appreciation for Wu Tao's abilities.
Wu Tao's words also confirmed the fact that he could help dying people live for several months or even several years longer.
This fact further enhanced Wu Tao's already special status.
They not only respected Wu Tao more, but they even wished they could enshrine Wu Tao in their own family.
With Wu Tao by their side, their family's future support will be more sustainable.
That's why Wu Tao is revered as a god.
They may not be good at doing good things, but they're all too adept at doing bad things.
So when they're happy, someone else suffers.
These people obtained information about Shen Yuchu's brother's illegal activities and handed it directly to certain individuals, resulting in Shen Changshan's immediate dismissal.
The matter was naturally dealt with severely afterward, and at the same time, the problem with Shen Yuchu's elder brother forced Shen Yuchu's father, Shenyang City, to retire early.
Shenyang City managed to maintain its last shred of dignity, unlike its elder brother Shen Yuchu who suffered a disgraceful end.
Just like Shen Yuchu's second brother, Shen Changhe, although he didn't amount to much, he wasn't as shameless as his eldest brother because of his wife's discipline.
There's really no way to deal with someone like that unless they're framed.
Although they wanted to gain Wu Tao's favor, they wouldn't do anything reckless. Doing so might not only cause trouble for their families, but also might not make Wu Tao remember their favor.
The Shen family believed that Shen Yuchu's elder brother had brought this upon himself and deserved to die.
Shen Yuchu had only been working for several years and was just a section-level cadre. She couldn't cause any trouble; at most, she could let her superiors know some things.
As for Shen Yuchu's father-in-law, things weren't so good; he just happened to have done something wrong as well.
After all, the position of Shen Yuchu's father-in-law is still quite scarce.
Once Shen Yuchu's father-in-law passes away, Shen Yuchu and her husband's future prospects will essentially be at their limit.
No one pursued the matter further, but the problem was that Shen Yuchu's father-in-law had been implicated and forced to resign because of her.
Shen Yuchu and her husband were certainly not truly unharmed.
Although the two of them did not get involved with their father-in-law, as the main targets of everyone's attacks, Shen Yuchu and her husband soon found themselves facing hardships at work.
Losing your job is a punishment, but being deliberately harassed every day is an even crueler form of torture.
It's not that I need to hit you, it's that I need to scold you that's scary.
Just a little more work than others each day, or even just a tiny bit of special treatment, is enough to isolate you, make you the laughingstock of everyone, and lead to social death.
The workplace was full of shrewd people. Shen Yuchu and her husband were already doomed because of her father-in-law's influence, and now they had to endure this. After only a few months, they resigned and gave up their jobs.
At this time, Shen Yuchu's husband also gradually learned from those who cared that all the disasters his family had encountered were because of Shen Yuchu.
Shen Yuchu's husband must be in pain and angry. He never imagined that his wife, who had always seemed aloof and proud in his eyes, was actually this kind of person behind the scenes.
The key point is that their once prosperous family became a thing of the past overnight because of their marriage to Shen Yuchu.
Before Shen Yuchu divorced her husband, he tormented her at home every day.
Perhaps blinded by hatred, Shen Yuchu's husband completely blamed all the misfortunes on Shen Yuchu.
Since they didn't dare to cause trouble for Wu Tao, they could only vent their pain on Shen Yuchu.
Shen Yuchu had been beaten so many times that she didn't want to continue living like this. She ran straight back to the Shen family home, where she was often scolded by her family, but it was better than being beaten to death here.
The Shen family is currently facing a series of misfortunes, with only Shen Yuchu's younger sister Shen Yupei and her second brother Shen Changhe's families doing relatively well.
They rarely interfered in the affairs of the Shen family, and since they didn't have any dirt on them, they managed to escape unscathed.
In Shenyang, Sun Li watched Shen Yuchu's worried face every day at home, and the two of them were at a loss for what to do.
They did consider asking Wu Tao for help, but the key issue was that Wu Tao had no idea about their situation.
Upon hearing the news, Wu Tao was completely dumbfounded.
Upon hearing the Shen family's pleas, he simply stated that he indeed did not act on their behalf.
Besides, it's clear from Shen Yupei and Shen Changhe that you're innocent; no one would cause you any trouble.
When the Shen family heard Wu Tao say this, what could they do? What he said made a lot of sense.
If you have no problems, you don't need to ask anyone for help. If you have problems, asking anyone for help won't help.
Even if they know that the reason their problems are being scrutinized and magnified is related to Wu Tao, it's useless.
Shen Yuchu also came with her parents and older brother, but seeing Wu Tao now, Shen Yuchu finally understood the saying "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river".
The two hadn't seen each other for almost ten years, and when they met again, everything had changed and all was lost.
Time has not left its mark on Wu Tao; he remains handsome and dashing, especially his charisma, which makes him stand out even in a crowd.
Countless young women in Beijing secretly hoped for a wonderful encounter with Dr. Wu.
Wu Tao didn't pay much attention to the Shen family; perhaps this indifference was the greatest form of contempt.
Shen Yuchu later left the capital alone, and many years later someone saw Shen Yuchu in a county town in another place.
By then, Shen Yuchu had become an ordinary old lady who never remarried and ran her own small shop.
As for Wu Tao himself, he is living a very prosperous life, and the Wu family's assets are enough for his descendants to enjoy a comfortable life for hundreds of years.
Even Wu Tao's cousin, Wu Gang, was later admitted to Beijing University. After graduation, he was assigned to the human resources department.
Wu Gang, the younger cousin, has worked very hard in his career, and his success is inseparable from the help of his older brother's connections.
Wu Tao's children went into business or politics, and the Wu family became a wealthy and powerful clan through three generations of management.
As the villagers of Wujiazhuang broadened their horizons, they gradually came to understand Wu Tao's excellence. By this time, Wu Tao's childhood friends had already made their fortunes.
They vaguely realized what they had missed back then, but there were no "what ifs." They hadn't seized the opportunity then, and now it was too late for them to get involved.
Wu Tao, and even the Wu family, became legends in Wujiazhuang.
Wu Tao's parents, his second uncle Wu Zhiwu, and his second aunt Chang Jing all later came to Beijing to retire.
He rarely goes back to his hometown, which infuriates those who want to visit and get close to him.
Although many villagers would occasionally try to embellish their own reputation by saying how well they used to be on good terms with the Wu family, the problem was that no one believed them.
Wu Tao's closest childhood friends had long since become big bosses under his leadership, while the others were left behind in the village—this is the best proof of that.
Wu Tao once again lived to be 100 years old before disappearing again. Because he had informed his family in advance, no one was alarmed.
However, Wu Tao's disappearance once again confirmed some people's speculations, and the research project on Wu Tao was also classified as top secret and sealed for a hundred years.
No one knows where Wu Tao went. Some speculate that he went to cultivate immortality, while others speculate that he may have passed away.
There was never a correct and complete answer to this unsolved case. In any case, Dr. Wu later became a myth in the hearts of many people.
