Chapter 110 No. 105 You can question my character, but you can’t…
With the reporter accompanying her, Lin Su's paternity test journey was particularly smooth as the entire process was recorded by the camera.
Inside the venue, the flash lights never stopped flashing. Lin Su stood in the center of the stage, her pale face, carefully made up, looking even more pitiful in her plain white suit. With her shoulders hunched and her brows lowered, she looked like a helpless boat on the sea, exposed to the wind and rain. The little boy next to her, who was about five or six years old, seemed to have never seen so many strangers before. He timidly tugged at the corner of her clothes, not daring to look directly at the wolf-like eyes around him.
Lin Su first encouraged little Fang Lang not to be afraid, playing the role of a good mother: "Don't be afraid, Xiaolang, the uncles and aunts here are all good people and will uphold justice for us."
Then, clutching the microphone tightly and staring intently at the camera, his first words were punctuated by a perfectly choked sob. "Dear friends from the media, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to be here."
Reporters in the front row could even see her fingers trembling slightly.
She covered her lips to control her emotions. "I'm holding this press conference today because I'm desperate."
The sound of shutter clicks echoed from the audience. Lin Su pushed Xiao Lang forward a half step. "This is the five-year-old son of Fang Jueshan, the current president of the Fang Group, and me. For the past five years, I've painstakingly raised him, but President Fang and the entire Fang family refuse to acknowledge him."
After saying this, he bowed deeply and said, "Here, I beg all media friends to help us orphans and widows."
The reporters in the interview booth looked at each other in bewilderment. One male reporter, pushing his glasses, asked pointedly, "Ms. Lin, there's been online reports that you're closely connected to the wanted suspect in the recent Honda hit-and-run case. Could you please explain?"
Lin Su's expression changed, but she quickly regained her composure. "Sorry, I think I should still answer questions related to this press conference."
"Then Ms. Lin, can you explain why you didn't come forward when you were pregnant, but chose to come forward today, five years later, to acknowledge your relationship?"
Lin Su said calmly, "I'm sure everyone is aware of Mr. Fang's recent health condition. As a mother, I can't deprive my child of his right to see his biological father, and I don't want to leave him with regrets. Since I chose to raise the child alone back then, this time I'm not doing it for fame or profit..."
When Fang Qingzhuo came in from the side door of the venue, he just heard the words "not for fame nor for profit" and sneered with disdain. This was a righteous speech, and those who didn't know would think that Fang Jueshan was dead.
"I'm really not after money. I just want to give my child a respectable identity." Talking about the sad things in the past, Lin Su burst into tears, her eyes sliding down her carefully drawn eyeliner one by one. "Being a single mother is hard, but Xiaolang is very filial and never gives me any worries. I just sometimes envy my classmates in kindergarten who have fathers to pick them up, even though he is bullied by his peers. I feel sorry for him."
The topic of maternal love always touches people's hearts, and all the older female reporters present were moved with sympathy.
Lin Su knew the time had come and suddenly knelt down in front of the camera.
This dramatic action caused the audience to remain silent for two seconds, followed by more frequent shutter sounds.
Seeing his mother tumble to her knees, Xiao Lang helplessly hugged her arms and began to sob. Seeing this, Lin Su had no time to wipe her own tears and hurried to comfort her son. Suddenly, the sorrowful cries of mother and son spread to every corner of the venue.
"I know the Fang family is wealthy and powerful, and I, an ordinary woman, can't compete with them." Lin Su hugged Xiao Lang back, a smile of triumph flashing in her tearful eyes. She knew that public opinion would definitely lean in her favor at this moment. "But for the child, I'm willing to do anything. The child is still young and needs a father. I don't want anything else. I just hope that Mr. Fang can recognize this child and give him a complete family."
The flash lights flashed wildly, freezing this carefully designed scene.
The media and entertainment reporters showed off their talents and used their special skills to get the best angle. Amidst the shoving and pushing, the young reporter at the edge was squeezed out of the crowd, but accidentally discovered Fang Qingzhuo standing behind him.
He was seen standing calmly at the front, dressed in all black casual clothes, followed by two serious-looking subordinates in suits and ties.
The young reporter's radar suddenly went off, and she quickly turned to him, microphone raised high. "The illegitimate child controversy has been brewing for so long, and Mr. Fang still refuses to show up. As the sole heir to Yike, do you have anything to say?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene quickly became chaotic, and everyone picked up their weapons and moved to another place. The appearance of Fang Qingzhuo undoubtedly brought the atmosphere of this press conference to its extreme.
"Yike has been plagued by negative news recently. Is this related to your taking over?"
"Is Mr. Fang, ashamed to face the criticism from all walks of life because he has a son in his forties, pushing you out as a shield?"
"According to insiders, you are not Mr. Fang Jueshan's biological child. So, will the appearance of this half-brother threaten your status as heir?"
"Tell me a few words."
Anyone else would have lost their temper upon hearing this, but Fang Qingzhuo simply glanced at the two figures on the stage and said something at random from one of the many microphones: "I have the right to remain silent until the results of the paternity test come out."
Just as reporters were scrambling to edit the news and publish it first, the doctor appeared quietly with a test report.
Lin Su wanted to intercept but it was too late. The report had already been delivered to Fang Qingzhuo.
"Wait a minute, we can't let Fang Qingzhuo open it. What if he tampers with it?"
Lin Su's roar immediately attracted all cameras to the paternity test results in Fang Qingzhuo's hand.
Under the supervision of nearly forty pairs of eyes, Fang Qingzhuo climbed onto the stage step by step. During the eye contact with Lin Su, he took the initiative to exchange chips: "I can keep it simple, but you know what I want."
Lin Su frowned slightly at his sudden change of heart: "Did you forget there was another one?"
"Do you think I'll be so easily led around by the nose by you?" Fang Qingzhuo turned to face the reporter. "At worst, I can just ask someone to get another one."
Lin Su secretly clenched her fists, but when she saw someone filming her, she quickly put on an innocent expression: "Do you think I'm stupid? What if you use a fake one to fool me?"
Fang Qingzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, opened the file bag, and directly looked for the DNA gene similarity on the last page. The data at the back was clearly written in black and white: 99.99%.
With his doubts dispelled, Lin Su's eyes lit up and he stretched out his hand to grab it, but Fang Qingzhuo's hand was faster, so he could only watch the duck that was in his mouth fly away.
"I'll say it again, tell me the address." Fang Qingzhuo lowered his voice and asked again.
"Warehouse in the south of the city..." Lin Su stopped there, and the next step was to see the other party's sincerity.
Fang Qingzhuo handed in the report.
Lin Su hurried to catch it, but found that she couldn't pull it away.
Fang Qingzhuo exerted more strength: "The rest."
"Number 105."
Fang Qingzhuo narrowed his dark eyes: "You didn't lie to me?"
"Don't worry, your girlfriend is waiting for you there." Lin Su's gentle gaze turned cold in the blink of an eye, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a creepy smile, her cheekbones slightly raised, even distorting her features. She thought to herself, how could she possibly lie to him? Her ultimate goal was to make Fang Qingzhuo fall into the trap she had carefully prepared for him, and then never return.
After getting the accurate information, Fang Qingzhuo left without delay, chewing the address 105 over and over again in his mouth. This guy is really a cunning rabbit with three burrows, no wonder he lost him.
Behind the scenes, Lin Su couldn't wait to announce loudly: "Dear friends from the media, please bear witness for me. The identification result is 99.99%."
Fang Qingzhuo strode out, winking at Tang Yan and staring at Lin Su. Before he could touch the doorknob, the double doors opened from the outside, and a group of well-trained bodyguards in black swarmed in. Their target was not him, but the reporters inside and their cameras.
Reporters and cameramen noticed that everyone who was eating had been robbed. They were stunned and angrily denounced the robbers: "Who are you? Can you afford to pay for the damage?"
"Really? I'll see if there's anything I can't afford to pay for."
Fang Qingzhuo was also stunned, looking at the man outside the door who gradually revealed his true face. Wasn't it his missing father, Fang Jueshan? At this moment, he wanted to curse from the bottom of his heart, damn it, his father finally decided to come back.
Fang Jueshan hasn't changed much. His image as an elegant big-tailed wolf is deeply rooted in people's hearts. When passing by his son, he deliberately stopped and gave him a reassuring look that said, "If you have any urgent matters, go and take care of them first. He is here."
Fang Qingzhuo understood instantly, and halfway through his steps, he seemed to remember something and turned back to remind her: "The paternity test is real."
After leaving the hospital, the temperature outside was slightly higher than that indoors. A sudden whirlwind blew towards the pedestrians. Fang Qingzhuo drove to the warehouse without stopping. On the way, he did not forget to send the location to Zhuang He, and added a note to act according to the original plan.
He had shaved off most of the half-hour drive. When he arrived at Warehouse 105, the people inside were busy wrapping cotton in oil paper with a fuse inserted in the middle. The moment they saw him, they were surprised and paused their work. "It's an hour earlier than I expected."
"They finish early over there, so I come early."
Fang Qingzhuo moved slowly and calmly, observing the crude tools and a pool of unidentified substance before him. It was probably purified saltpeter. With this dosage, they were likely to perish together. His gaze shifted to where his hostage, his girlfriend, sat leaning against a pillar, her hands and feet bound with hemp rope, her mouth tightly taped. Her long, tangled hair covered most of her face. At his voice, she calmly raised her eyelids.
Here, Guo Tianlin sensed his approach, picked up the bag of drugs, and yelled, "Stand still and hand over your phone."
Fang Qingzhuo raised his arms and stopped in his tracks: "Let's talk it over."
It would have been fine if he didn't raise his hand, but when he did, Guo Tianlin aimed at his empty hands: "Didn't I ask you to bring 100 million in cash?"
Fang Qingzhuo advised kindly: "Calm down first."
"Calm down, didn't I tell you not to play tricks?" Guo Tianlin glared at him with gritted teeth.
Fang Qingzhuo still spoke in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, since I dared to come here alone, I won't play tricks on you. Besides, my girlfriend is in your hands, I dare not act rashly."
Guo Tianlin's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Where's the money? Where's my money?"
Fang Qingzhuo confessed honestly: "No."
"What?" Guo Tianlin exclaimed, "You little bastard, are you kidding me?"
Fang Qingzhuo said seriously, "It seems I need to share some basic common sense with you first. One hundred million in cash, let alone me, might not even fit in the trunk."
Now, Guo Tianlin was 100% sure that this guy was doing it on purpose: "Okay, I see that you clearly don't want to give it to me, so I will tie this explosive to your woman and see if you have it."
"Wait a moment."
Before Guo Tianlin turned around, Fang Qingzhuo's eyebrows drooped and he quickly showed weakness, "It's not that I don't want to give it, it's just that time is too tight. The bank can't give out so much cash at once."
"That's your business."
Fang Qingzhuo bargained: "How about this, I'll give you the card, okay?"
Guo Tianlin became increasingly certain that his brain circuits were abnormal: "Do you think I'm stupid? Do I even need to pay by credit card in my current condition?"
Fang Qingzhuo said seriously, "Well, give me some more time, and I'll call several banks and ask them to withdraw cash at the same time. I'll find a way to get it together for you."
There was no other way at the moment, so Guo Tianlin had to nod and agree: "Hurry up, I'll only give you ten minutes."
Fang Qingzhuo glanced at the helpless figure huddled in the corner, then hesitated and fumbled with his phone: "Okay, I'll arrange it now."
During this process, Guo Tianlin's brain was working rapidly. This guy clearly had a way to withdraw the money, but he chose to wait until now to raise money and waste time. Realizing that he might have been deceived, he almost subconsciously backed away: "No call allowed, did you call the police and delay time?"
Fang Qingzhuo had just clicked send when he heard his words and felt unhappy. "You can question my character, but you can't insult my feelings for my girlfriend. I can afford a ransom of even 200 million, not to mention 100 million."
At this moment, Guo Tianlin was like an enraged beast, completely oblivious to any good or bad words. He threw the explosive pack into the arms of the huddled hostage, sneering as he pulled out his lighter: "Girl, if you want to blame someone, blame your boyfriend for not wanting to pay for your ransom. When you get down there, remember to go find him first."
The plastic lighter ignited as he fiddled with it. The hostage, who had remained silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up: "Brother, you've got the wrong guy."
Guo Tianlin was startled when he heard this deep voice. He immediately released his thumb from the lighter and said, "What? You, you're a man?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked in the stomach without any preparation, and he and his lighter were kicked several meters away.
