Everyone Hates the Substitute Until He’s Reborn

In his previous life, when Ye Chaoran was 16 years old, he was suddenly visited by a rich man who told him he was the young master of the Fang family who lived in a different city.

Little did...

Chapter 41 Falling Apart

"Who did it!" Mr. Fang was trembling all over. He didn't care that Fang Yan was still in the car. He raised his voice and asked, "Who leaked this?!"

Johnson seemed to sigh, and he only said: "You should come back and see it yourself."

Fang Yan was half asleep and was awakened by Old Man Fang's roar. He tilted his head to look out the car window, confusion in his eyes.

what happened? Why is grandpa so angry?

Fang Yan and Old Madam Fang looked at each other, and Old Madam Fang shook her head. She rarely saw Mr. Fang so angry, and there was some confusion in her eyes.

She was about to ask what happened when she saw Mr. Fang open the car door.

"You and Yanyan go back to Heyuan Villa first," said Mr. Fang, with a very bad look on his face. "Something happened at home, so we can't stay here for the time being. I'll go over and deal with it first."

"What happened at home?" Old Mrs. Fang's eyes widened suddenly.

Mr. Fang waved his hand and didn't say anything, just asked the driver to drive.

The car drove out slowly. Old Mrs. Fang frowned and complained: "This old man doesn't know how to explain anything clearly."

Fang Yan turned around to look at the figure of Old Man Fang Fang behind him, and suddenly an inexplicable sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.

Something happened at home...

Could there have been an accident in the operating room?

Fang Yan bit her lip and shook her head.

It's impossible. Mr. Fang regards the operating room as more important than anything else. Only a few people in the family know about it. I only learned about the operating room when I accidentally overheard the conversation between Mr. Fang and Fang Qishan. Even Fang Sheng was kept in the dark.

Nothing can go wrong in the operating room.

Fang Yan took a deep breath, slightly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and began to think of other things to divert his attention.

I don’t know when my parents and brother will come back.

On the other side, Mr. Fang rushed back to his old house immediately after hanging up the phone.

Johnson was standing at the entrance to the basement and saw Mr. Fang was the first to greet him.

"Mr. Fang."

"What on earth is going on?!" Old Master Fang's eyes widened in anger. "Very few people know about this. It can't be you..."

"How could I possibly leak such a thing?" Johnson was puzzled. After so many years in China, his Chinese was already very good. "Do I want to die?"

Old Master Fang stared at him for two seconds and quickly looked away.

It couldn't be Johnson, he was really angry and confused just now.

Johnson had already boarded the same boat with their family, and he would not ignore his own safety.

"Have you checked the surveillance?" Mr. Fang asked coldly.

Johnson shook his head. He didn't have the authority.

In addition, very few people knew that there was an operating room in the basement of the Fang family. After Johnson discovered that the operating room was smashed, he did not dare to say anything at all and could only call Old Man Fang first.

The entrance to the basement had already been moved open by Johnson. Johnson walked in front and Mr. Fang followed.

As soon as he reached the door, Mr. Fang's breathing became rapid.

Being angry.

Instrument parts and debris were scattered all over the snow-white tiles on the ground, several lights on the ceiling were broken, and the floor was in pieces.

They spent a lot of money and effort to buy these instruments, but now these precious instruments have all been smashed into scrap metal!

Mr. Fang felt severe pain in the left side of his chest. He covered his heart with his hand and turned around to go back to check the surveillance.

That's when the cell phone rang.

Mr. Fang took out his cell phone with trembling hands. It was a call from Fang Sheng.

He suddenly felt relieved.

The servants in the house are the most likely suspects as they were able to smash the operating room in the basement without anyone noticing. But how could a servant know that there was an operating room in their basement and destroy it?

There must be someone behind this servant!

On the way back, Mr. Fang had already contacted the housekeeper and asked him to control all the servants in the house first.

No matter which servant it is, he will make this person and the mastermind behind him pay the price!

When Fang Sheng comes back, he decides to let Fang Sheng handle this matter.

Sooner or later he would know Yanyan's condition, and this smashing of the operating room was undoubtedly a good opportunity.

As long as Fang Sheng can handle this matter well, it is not impossible for Mr. Fang in the company to delegate power to him earlier.

Grandpa Fang answered the phone, but before he could speak, Fang Sheng laughed softly: "Grandpa, are you home?"

"Shengsheng, I..." Old Master Fang's voice was trembling.

When Fang Sheng heard the voice, he knew that Mr. Fang had seen the "surprise" he had given them.

"It seems that you have arrived. I believe you should have seen the surprise I gave you." Fang Sheng felt more comfortable and relaxed than ever before.

Mr. Fang on the other end of the phone froze in place for a moment.

"W-what do you mean? What surprise?" Mr. Fang's eyes widened in disbelief, and his fingers holding the phone tightened unconsciously, "Shengsheng, what are you talking about?"

Fang Sheng's expression did not change. He raised his arm and looked at the time, then slowly said, "Of course it's a surprise in the basement. I informed Dr. Johnson in advance. Could it be that he hasn't informed you yet?"

The blood kept rushing from Grandpa Fang's heart to his head, and he felt a splitting headache. In just a moment, Grandpa Fang figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

His face turned pale in an instant. Old Man Fang opened his mouth, and the sound in his throat seemed to disappear for a moment.

"Why? Why are you doing this!?" Master Fang took a long while to utter this sentence. His eyes were bloodshot and he stared fiercely at the wreckage of the instrument on the ground. He could hardly breathe.

He felt as if his whole body was becoming light and his hands and feet were weak, and he could fall asleep at any time.

Johnson, who was not far away, was frightened by his appearance. He quickly turned around and rummaged through the rubble for a while, and took out a bottle of quick-acting heart pills.

"Eat something!" Johnson stuffed the pill into Mr. Fang's mouth.

Old Master Fang swallowed it with his saliva, then gasped heavily and took several deep breaths. Finally, he exhaled the foul air stuck in his chest, and his eyes regained some clarity.

"Shengsheng... why are you doing this?! Why are you doing this! Why!" Grandpa Fang's emotions became uncontrollably intense again. He tightly grasped his cell phone, wishing he could hand Fang Sheng over to him and question him on the spot.

Fang Sheng listened to Mr. Fang's roar and felt both ridiculous and chilled.

Why?

It was for himself at that time.

"Grandpa, Yanyan's condition is not serious at all. Why do you insist on giving him a heart transplant?" Fang Sheng ignored Grandpa Fang's questioning and asked the question that he had always been curious about.

"What do you know? Yanyan will die if she doesn't get a heart transplant! You are Yanyan's brother, do you want to watch Yanyan die with your own eyes?" Old Master Fang was extremely excited.

Fang Sheng smiled sarcastically: "So in order for Fang Yan to survive, Ye Chaoran must be sacrificed?"

His name was Fang Yan, and he no longer called her "Yan Yan".

Old Master Fang didn't notice the change in his address, but was just shocked as to when Fang Sheng knew about their plan.

"You... when did you know that?" Johnson was the only one here, so Mr. Fang was not worried that others would hear it.

"It's been a while," Fang Sheng lowered his eyes, "The doctor told me that Fang Yan's illness is not serious. Why did you insist on giving him a heart transplant?"

Mr. Fang was silent for a while before he said, "But the doctor also said that there is still a 10% chance of recurrence..."

"Just for this 10% possibility?!" Even after his guess was confirmed, Fang Sheng still found it absurd, yet funny at the same time.

But on second thought, this is indeed something their family would do.

Fang Sheng didn't have many memories of his childhood. The only thing he remembered was that one year Fang Qishan happily hugged him and told him that he had two more younger brothers. Two little babies were lying on the bed, both were cute little balls of flesh.

But it was obvious that one brother looked older and healthier than the other.

Cai Lianhua told him that the second brother was in good health, but the youngest brother was sick. However, their family would treat the youngest brother, and after the youngest brother recovered, Fang Sheng would be able to take his two younger brothers out to play together.

Fang Sheng was very happy. The first thing he did when he got home every day was to go to his brother's room.

But this time did not last long. One day after school, Fang Sheng went to see his two younger brothers happily as usual. But when he got to the cradle, he found that the one next to him was empty.

The two younger brothers also became one.

Fang Sheng asked Cai Lianhua in confusion why one of his brothers disappeared.

Cai Lianhua said: "The other brother is lost, Shengsheng only has one brother now. Shengsheng must be good to your only brother, understand?"

How could Fang Sheng understand what face changing meant when he was a child?

Fang Sheng listened to Cai Lianhua very much. After hearing her words, he began to be more nice to Fang Yan.

He had two pieces of candy, and he would rather not eat a single bite and give them all to Fang Yan.

But Fang Yan was often sick when he was a child, and each time he was sick, he would stay in the hospital for several months.

Fang Sheng could only look at Fang Yan from a distance through the glass window.

Fang Yan's skin on the bed was so white that it was almost transparent, and the blood vessels beneath the skin were clearly visible.

From that time on, Fang Sheng made up his mind that he must be good to his brother, and no matter what his brother did, he would stand firmly behind him.

So even though he could sense a slight favoritism from his family when he was a child, he didn't take it to heart.

Fang Sheng thought, Yanyan is in poor health, so what does it matter if her parents and grandparents are partial to her? He is also partial to Yanyan.

But what Fang Sheng could never have imagined was that his younger brother, whom he held dearest to his heart and his family whom he trusted so much, actually considered him as their second choice.

Fang Sheng wanted to laugh because it was too outrageous.

How important does Fang Yan have to be to make their family disregard other people's lives.

At the same time, Fang Sheng was even more confused as to why they sent Ye Chaoran away in the first place.

It is impossible for a one-month-old baby to get lost on his own, so the original report by Nanshi News was true and he was simply blinded by one thing.

"Shengsheng, tell me why you did this. Explain it to me. I won't blame you..."

Mr. Fang on the phone was still chattering about the reason, but Fang Sheng's eyes turned cold.

"I also want to ask, why did you hide it from me?" Fang Sheng said coldly.

Old Master Fang was stunned for a moment. He opened his lips but didn't say anything for a long time.

He didn't know how to start.

Secretly giving a living person's heart to Yanyan is a serious sin, even if that person is Ye Chaoran, Fang Yan's twin brother. The reason why they kept it a secret from Fang Sheng is, of course, for Fang Sheng's own good.

But Mr. Fang didn't expect that Fang Sheng would actually discover this matter.

"We didn't intend to keep it a secret from you," said Mr. Fang. "We were going to tell you the truth after the operation is over."

"The operation is over?" Fang Sheng sneered, "Are you so sure that the operation will be successful?"

Mr. Fang said confidently: "Of course! Although the instruments we bought are all obsolete, but..."

"Grandpa, I don't want to discuss this with you," Fang Sheng lost his patience. His plane was about to take off. "You didn't answer any of the questions I wanted to know, but it doesn't matter anymore. Because I'm about to board the plane. From today on, I have nothing to do with the Fang family anymore."

Mr. Fang's expression changed again and again: "You...what did you say?"

"Since I'm about to leave, I have one last question for you. Grandpa, why did you abandon Ye Chaoran in the first place?" Fang Sheng asked.

Mr. Fang was still in shock after learning that Fang Sheng was going abroad. He was stunned for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice, "You have no relationship with the family? Fang Sheng! Are you kidding me?!"

Fang Sheng closed his eyes in disappointment.

It seems that his grandfather can't say anything anymore.

But it doesn't matter, these things have nothing to do with him anyway.

He will no longer get involved in the Fang family's affairs. Neither Fang Yan nor Fang Qishan has anything to do with him anymore.

Before leaving, he hired someone to smash the operating room, and his motive was selfish and for his own benefit. After all, he did quite a bit of smashing in the basement, and if Mr. Fang had discovered it in advance, he might not have been able to get away.

However, Fang Sheng always liked to leave himself a way out. If he really couldn't get away today, then early tomorrow morning, the news that the Fang family secretly built an operating room would be on the headlines of major media.

Fortunately, everything went well today.

Even though he no longer had any relationship with the Fang family, Fang Sheng still sincerely hoped that they would be fine.

After all, no matter what, they are my family members who I have been with for many years.

Fang Sheng has invested so much true love and affection, and he can't take it back overnight.

But Ye Chaoran...

I don’t know what he will think of me, but I smashed the operating room, so I helped him.

I hope he can let bygones be bygones.

Fang Sheng hung up the phone, pulled out the SIM card, threw it into the trash can beside him, then stood up and went to board the plane.

It was not until a series of rapid "beeping" sounds came from the receiver that Mr. Fang realized that Fang Sheng was not joking with him and that Fang Sheng really wanted to sever ties with the Fang family!

But why is this?

Why did Fang Sheng suddenly cut off ties with his family?

They didn't do anything to let Fang Sheng down!

Mr. Fang's hands were shaking with anxiety. He picked up the phone and called Fang Sheng back.

But no matter how many times he called back, he always got a cold female voice: "Hello, the user you dialed is turned off..."

All the blood in Grandpa Fang's body seemed to have solidified. He stared blankly at the wreckage of the instrument on the ground. His eyes went dark and he fainted.

Johnson was startled and rushed forward to catch him: "Mr. Fang! Mr. Fang!"

Mr. Fang never returned, and during that time Mrs. Fang called him several times but he didn't answer.

Old Mrs. Fang could no longer sit still at home and stood up and paced back and forth. She wanted to go talk to Fang Yan, but she was afraid of disturbing Fang Yan's rest, so she gave up.

It was late in the morning and Mr. Fang had not returned yet. Mrs. Fang finally couldn't bear it anymore. She got dressed and was about to call the driver when her cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Madam, do you have time to come to the hospital now? The old man's surgery requires the signature of his immediate family members!" Johnson's voice sounded on the other end of the phone. Old Mrs. Fang was stunned for several seconds, and her eyes suddenly went dark.

Fang Yan had been awakened by the noise of Old Lady Fang. Seeing this, he hurried forward and caught Old Lady Fang: "Grandma, are you okay?"

Mrs. Fang burst into tears immediately: "You...your grandfather needs surgery, let's hurry to the hospital!"

Fang Yan's face turned very ugly in an instant. How come he was fine in the afternoon, but now he has to undergo surgery?

"Don't worry, I'll call the driver." Fang Yan didn't care about pretending that he had a heart attack at this moment.

He hasn’t even had the surgery yet, so nothing must go wrong with Mr. Fang!

Even if something goes wrong, I have to wait until the surgery is over!

While the Fang family was in chaos, Fang Qishan and Cai Lianhua also had no peace.

Mr. Fang didn't answer his call, so Fang Qishan had no choice but to contact the lawyer he had contacted early in the morning.

Unexpectedly, even after the lawyer arrived, the police showed no intention of releasing them.

Fang Qishan's face suddenly turned ugly, and he looked at the lawyer: "Didn't you say..."

"The nature of the case has changed now," the lawyer shook his head helplessly at Fang Qishan and lowered his voice. "The police have retrieved the surveillance footage from various intersections, and the Ye family has provided an injury report. This case will not be simply ruled as a misunderstanding."

"What do you mean?" Fang Qishan widened his eyes.

The lawyer pressed his swollen temples.

To be honest, he has begun to regret taking on Fang Qishan's case.

The main reason was that Fang Qishan gave too much at the beginning. He thought that Fang Qishan was a member of the Fang family, so he might as well give the other family a favor.

But if he had known earlier that Fang Qishan had offended someone from the Ye family, he would never have taken the case!

Are you kidding? He is now facing the top legal team in the country, and they have never lost a case! He is still preparing the materials, but all the evidence needed for the case has already been submitted.

Fang Qishan and he originally wanted to go through civil mediation, but now that a few documents have been submitted, the nature of the case has become a criminal case. How can he intervene?

Looking at the employer in disbelief, the lawyer sighed and said, "I sincerely suggest that you plead guilty as soon as possible. Maybe you can get leniency..."

"Are you kidding me?!" Fang Qishan shouted angrily, "I gave you so much money just to let you come to me and confess your guilt? How can you take on a job that you don't have the skills to do? If you can't do it, just return the money as soon as possible, I..."

When has a lawyer ever been treated like this?

Hearing Fang Qishan's words, he laughed out of anger: "Okay, since you've asked, I'll return the money to you when I get back. I really can't take this case."

After saying this, the lawyer turned and left.

When Fang Qishan saw that the lawyer had really left, he was stunned at first, and then his face turned very sour.

Just go, it’s okay to take away the useless things. At worst, he can just call a good lawyer.

But the police didn't even give Fang Qishan a chance to call again. The interrogating policeman came in with a stack of transcripts, glanced at Fang Qishan coldly and said, "Your bodyguards and your wife have already confessed. Are you sure you won't speak up?"

When Fang Qishan heard this, his whole body froze.

"What? What did they recruit?"

Before the lawyer came to see Fang Qishan, he first went to see Cai Lianhua.

Cai Lianhua, a pampered noble lady, could no longer bear being locked up in the police station for a whole night.

When she saw the lawyer, she could no longer hold back her tears and they fell down. She held the lawyer's hand and asked her what she should do next.

The lawyer looked at Cai Lianhua, sighed helplessly in his heart, and then briefly analyzed the current case to Cai Lianhua.

After hearing this, the blood color on Cai Lianhua's face disappeared completely.

"Criminal case? Are you saying we are involved in a criminal offense?" Cai Lianhua looked at the lawyer in disbelief. "How is that possible? I just went to chat with that woman for a while. I didn't even..."

The lawyer's face changed, and he said softly, "Then tell the police the truth. If you did not participate in kidnapping the child, you will at most be considered an accomplice, and you will not be sentenced for too long."

Cai Lianhua clenched her teeth.

Accessory? What do you mean she won't be sentenced for too long?

Cai Lianhua was panic-stricken. She didn’t want to be locked up!

"Then... can you help me think of a solution? I don't want to... I don't want to..." Cai Lianhua said, crying uncontrollably.

The lawyer sighed and gave Cai Lianhua an idea.

It can't be said that she is shirking responsibility, but by doing so she can indeed avoid being held criminally responsible.

After the lawyer left, Cai Lianhua cried for a while before she calmed down completely.

She carefully recalled the lawyer's words and what Fang Qishan had said to her before, and finally made up her mind.

Yanyan's health has not fully recovered yet, and she cannot be left without someone to take care of her.

Only when she went out did someone take care of Yanyan.

Fang Qishan must have thought the same, so he certainly wouldn't blame himself.

Cai Lianhua wiped away her tears, called the police, and took the initiative to express her willingness to cooperate with the investigation. She also said: "I have a recording. When Fang Qishan called the bodyguard, I recorded it."

Another piece of evidence was placed in front of him. Fang Qishan's face turned pale and he leaned back dejectedly.

How is this possible?

Cai Lianhua admitted that he was the one who ordered all this?

Who is he doing this for? If it wasn't for Yanyan, would he do this?

Cai Lianhua actually put all the blame on herself and even secretly recorded the incident!

Why is she so defensive about herself?

Did he foresee that he would fail and leave himself a way out in advance?

Or has she been looking for an excuse to divorce me for a long time? Once she's taken to the police station and locked up, she can steal anyone she wants outside?

Thinking of this, Fang Qishan could no longer hold back and cursed viciously: "That stinky bitch! She has such a cruel heart!!!"

"Cai Lianhua—I won't fucking let you go!"

Cai Lianhua, who was next door, vaguely heard Fang Qishan's curse and she couldn't help but shiver.

She wanted to go back, she had to return to Yanyan no matter what.

The author has something to say:

I saw some comments saying that we shouldn’t whitewash Fang Sheng, but I’m not going to whitewash him! Anyone who has hurt Chao Ran will not be whitewashed~ Fang Sheng smashed the operating room more to give himself a guarantee!
