Chapter 110 If one can't hold on any longer, will the other step in to save the world?
Fang Zhen's expression completely changed. "How could this be?"
He looked at Fang Han in shock, "You didn't Photoshop this as a joke, did you?"
Fang Han said directly, "I swear on Fang Yiling's intelligence, it's absolutely true, otherwise Fang Yiling would become an idiot."
Fang Zhen and Fang Yiling: "..."
Fang Zhenshang's handsome face, already imposing due to his years of holding power, became extremely intimidating when he slightly frowned and darkened his expression.
"Why did it turn out like this..."
Such an absurd thing, who would believe it?
"I guess either Third Sister planned her escape, found someone who looked a lot like her, replaced her identity, and went off to live a carefree life. Or there's some conspiracy that we haven't uncovered yet."
Fang Zhen: "..."
Fang Zhen actually accepted the first explanation because he felt that Fang Kezhen in the past was capable of doing such a thing. She might not accept the marriage partner her parents introduced to her, or she might not want to come back to inherit the family business, so she might have really switched lives with someone else.
But is it really that absurd?
Fang Zhen then thought of something else, "But, if Coco is real, then who is Manman...?"
He doesn't have any illegitimate children living outside!
"This woman most likely came to our door with a fake report, and she's definitely not the only one behind us. Otherwise, given her status, she wouldn't have been able to pull so many strings, and several testing agencies would have given the same result. I suspect there's a big conspiracy behind her. The reason she was chosen might just be that she and Fang Ke were born in the same hospital that year."
After Fang Han's analysis, Fang Zhen's temples were throbbing with pain.
"So you mean..."
"Let nature take its course. Now that both of them are in the Fang family, right under our noses, isn't that a good thing? If there's something fishy going on, it'll show sooner or later. We'll slowly follow them to uncover the people and conspiracies behind them. I'll leave this to Fourth Brother."
Fang Zhen remained silent. Even after the two left, he still couldn't believe that Fang Ke and Fang Manman in front of him were fake.
After some time, she was released from confinement. Fang Zhen deliberately called her to his side, saying that she had gone too far recently and he wanted to personally discipline her.
He had been observing Fang Ke for a long time. Once a person becomes suspicious, they will indeed find clues everywhere, but Fang Zhen was not going to draw a conclusion so quickly.
Fang Ke's business acumen was no less than Fang Han's. Fang Zhen intentionally gave Fang Ke some training tasks. With the cooperation of business backbones, Fang Ke did not perform badly, but it was definitely not outstanding. He could only be described as scoring around 60 points.
Fang Zhen felt increasingly disappointed, but he was still wavering in his heart. If the Fang Ke in front of him was really fake, then where was the real Fang Ke? Was she safe? These questions made him anxious just thinking about them.
He'd rather believe that this daughter is real, but that her personality has changed drastically for some reason.
When Fang Zhen took Fang Ke to another business party, it was a turning point that brought him to a complete break with her.
At the party that day, Fang Zhen intentionally introduced Fang Ke to his network of contacts. He hoped that his second daughter could pull herself together and stop focusing all her attention on an unworthy man. Instead, she should experience the joy that comes with career success. He believed that the Fang family should not be so fragile.
But when Fang Ke saw Yi Mohan with Su Yao at the banquet, her emotions, which had been stable for several months, exploded instantly. She went up to the two of them and started arguing with them, even slapping Su Yao. Yi Mohan was furious and pushed her to the ground, then called security.
Fang Ke, however, clung to Yi Mohan's leg without any dignity, demanding that he listen to her explanation, saying that she was innocent and had never harmed Su Yao.
His pathetic, dejected, and utterly undignified appearance was like a resounding slap across Fang Zhen's face.
At this moment, he witnessed Fang Ke's frantic groveling before the man, and he truly wished he had never given birth to this daughter.
He suppressed his anger and brought the person home. Ignoring Yan Xinyi's questions, he threw Fang Ke into the study. The moment the door closed, Fang Zhen could no longer suppress his anger and slapped her.
"Look at yourself now!"
Fang Zhen was furious, and Fang Ke fell to the ground, covering her face, unable to react.
Fang Zhen pointed at her and cursed, "Are you possessed? You're acting like you're going to die for a man, have you no shame?!"
The woman on the ground, burning with pain, suddenly broke down, crying out, "I know you all want to see me make a fool of myself. I'm useless, I can't compete with a woman who's inferior to me in every way. I deserve to be the laughingstock of everyone in Jingzhou! This family seems to have long since abandoned me. Do you think I'm having a good time living under someone else's roof? I was never your daughter, so stop with your lecturing attitude. Who cares about your charity? I'll get out of the Fang family today and make you all happy!"
She got up, opened the door, and ran out, making a huge commotion outside.
Fang Zhen could only hear Yan Xinyi's constant persuasion and Fang Ke's incessant grumbling, and his anger only grew stronger.
She only showed this bit of toughness to her family. But what if she had shown it to the man who had hurt her? He would have looked at her with more respect.
Once everything outside was quiet, Fang Zhen angrily loosened his tie and watched Fang Ke leave the Fang family home, dragging a suitcase, through the glass window.
He calmed down for a night and called Fang Han. When Fang Han found out, she only said, "This is also an opportunity."
"……What's the meaning?"
"Go out and open your eyes to the realities of society, experience the hardships of ordinary people, and suffer a bit to cool down her infatuated mind. If she can come to her senses and pull herself together, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"
Fang Zhen hung up the phone in silence.
A month later, he still had someone check on Fang Ke's current situation. All he knew was that Fang Ke had applied to two companies, but after being rejected, he stopped submitting resumes and instead spent his days lying in his rented room, seemingly tinkering with something.
Fang Zhen and Yan Xinyi sent money, gifts, and arranged housing for him on and off, but Fang Ke returned them all, and he never used a single penny of the money.
In this respect, Fang Zhen felt very conflicted. He also felt that she was still his original daughter, and at least she still had her pride.
After Yi Mohan personally acknowledged his relationship with Su Yao online and netizens sent their blessings, Fang Ke became even more low-key. She moved to an urban village and started earning a living on the side, completely withdrawing from the entertainment industry.
Two years passed uneventfully until recently when Yan Xinyi called Fang Ke to tentatively invite him back for his birthday party. Then Fang Ke suddenly became a sensation online, making a rapid comeback.
It seemed like she made a high-profile comeback in less than a month, completely capturing everyone's attention.
When she walked into the study with a confident and poised demeanor today, although he appeared solemn, his hands under the table were actually trembling.
After leaving the Fang family, Fang Ke stayed at home and kept a low profile, so even private investigators couldn't take any photos of her.
Fang Zhen felt only heartache when his daughter, whom he hadn't seen for over two years, reappeared like a queen.
This is after so much suffering...
But she really did it; she pulled herself together and came to her senses.
Fang Zhen glanced back a few times, and the events of the past few years had already gone through his mind.
Therefore, his gaze towards Fang Ke was always complex, filled with a multitude of indescribable emotions.
At that moment, Fang Zhen could only restrain himself and reach out to pat Fang Ke on the shoulder.
"Thank you for protecting them tonight."
Fang Ke smiled slightly and patted his arm in return, "Father Fang, don't worry, with me here, they'll be fine."
Fang Zhen was slightly taken aback, and for a moment he hallucinated that Fang Ke was still a smug little kid.
At that time, the Fang family was once in financial crisis. Fang Zhen was so worried that he couldn't sleep at night. Fang Ke pushed open the study door and came in.
He wasn't even as tall as the desk, but he confidently told Fang Zhen, "Dad, don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen to the Fang family."
Fang Zhen was just amused at the time, so he picked the person up, carried him on his shoulder, and took him to sleep.
But to his surprise, a few days later, all of the Fang family's financial chains were indeed restored.
Fang Ke is practically a lucky star.
Fang Zhen looked at the girl's profile as she turned away. At this moment, his CPU was completely fried, and he could only come up with one "correct answer".
Does his daughter have two personalities from a young age, so that when one can't handle it, the other will come out to save the world?
