Chapter 212 Zheng Huaixin, isn't it exciting?

A chill ran down Zheng Huaixin's spine and up to his head.

He asked the other person, "Young comrade, what do you mean by that?"

"That little boy looks so much like you, do you still need to do a paternity test?" The young man shook his head.

Zheng Huaixin stared at him. "You mean the paternity test results show we are father and son?"

The young man shook his head.

"The paternity test file was sealed with a sticker. We had no right to open it without permission. I didn't know anything about it."

"Don't speak recklessly if you don't know the truth."

Zheng Huaixin pursed his lips, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness. "There are many people in this world who look alike. They're not necessarily father and son..."

"Hey, you..."

Before the young comrade could say anything more, the deputy director arrived. Seeing Zheng Huaixin's unfriendly gaze, he slapped the young comrade on the back of the head. "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to call Secretary Zheng to pick up the paternity test report? Why didn't you give him the report when he arrived?"

"...It's already been taken. They said Secretary Zheng was busy and asked them to pick it up for her. I thought..."

"You little rascal, you can't even do a small job right. If it weren't for your father being a veteran revolutionary, I'd chop your head off!" The deputy director seemed to be scolding his subordinate, but in reality, he was pleading for him.

Upon hearing the words "old" and "revolutionary," Zheng Huaixin's expression gradually softened, and he adopted a gentle and harmless demeanor.

"Never mind, it was unintentional on his part. Where did they take the report?"

The young man shook his head.

The deputy director stammered a few times, then looked awkwardly at Secretary Zheng. "I'm sorry, Secretary Zheng, it's all our fault for not doing our job properly. But that report has a seal on it. If we open it and tamper with it, it will leave traces. Secretary Zheng, you can try to find someone first..."

Before he could finish speaking, the phone rang nearby.

The young man quickly went to answer the call, introduced himself, paused for a moment, then turned to Secretary Zheng, "It's a call from the city hall. They said the mother and son have already gone to the city hall with the paternity test report. This person wants you to go back immediately..."

Secretary Zheng walked over in a few steps, took the phone, and said, "Hello, this is Zheng Huaixin."

"Secretary Zheng, please come back quickly. The two of them took the report to the leader's office, and the leader is with them personally right now. He asked me to call you back."

Then, she whispered, "The leaders want to demolish it, but the mother and son won't let them. They say they have to wait for those two old men from the investment promotion office. You'd better hurry, maybe you can get it before they arrive..."

"Okay, I understand. I'll head back right away. You keep them calm for now."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Huaixin rushed to the city hall.

He rushed as fast as he could, and when he arrived, the two senior leaders from the investment promotion office were already there, a group of people were gathered in the conference room, and Sister-in-law Yao was also there.

A group of people were waiting for him.

Secretary Zheng frowned, wondering why she was there too.

Remembering that she was there last time, he decided to let it go and get to the bottom of things. This would save him from being short-sighted and making things difficult for her, and from badmouthing him outside the home if they disagreed.

The woman placed the report on the conference table, glanced at it, and then her gaze fell on Sister Yao. "Comrade, could you please open it for us?"

Sister-in-law Yao smiled and said, "Okay."

She reached out and took the file bag, showing the seal to everyone before using a utility knife to cut open the seal, opening the file bag, taking out the paternity test report, and flipping directly to the last page.

I scanned the words that confirmed Zheng Huaixin as the biological father of the stone three times, and almost burst out laughing.

She raised her eyes and gave Zheng Huaixin a strange look.

He flipped his hand and showed the results to the two senior leaders and the top leader of the investment promotion office.

Everyone remained leaning forward, exclaiming, "Is he really his son?!"

The final report eventually reached Zheng Huaixin's hands.

He stared at the line written on the last page, his mind went blank, and he blurted out, "Impossible! I don't have a son, how could this little boy be my son?!"

Yes, that's impossible!

He and his ex-wife only had one daughter, who died of illness when she was three years old.

The little boy just looks like him; there must be some mistake...

"...Boss, I have witnesses, I have evidence. This little boy isn't a local at all. Surely the locals can't lie about what they're saying?"

His desire to prove his innocence was so strong that, seeing the disappointment in the eyes of his superior, he said, "Boss, believe me. I have the phone numbers of those locals. We can call and verify. I don't know them at all. One looks like my ex-wife, and the other looks like me. I have absolutely no connection with them..."

He wasn't stupid enough to say the paternity report was fake; he just repeatedly emphasized that he had witnesses and testimonies.

The top leader pondered for a moment, then looked up at the two senior leaders of the investment promotion office, "What do you think? Should we give him another chance?"

The former leaders exchanged a glance.

Both men could see that the leader was reluctant to let go of the promising young talent he had nurtured, so they nodded in agreement and said, "We don't want to wrong a good comrade either, let him hit him."

Zheng Huaixin breathed a sigh of relief, confident that he could turn the tide.

He turned around, picked up the phone number left on the statement, turned on the horn, and the call connected. He explained his purpose to the other party in a smiling and friendly voice, and the old man on the other end said "oh".

"...That's right. A young man came to investigate A-Yue and her family. He gave us some money, and that's how we found out. Do you want us to say anything more? Just tell us and we'll repeat what you said."

Zheng Huaixin was somewhat bewildered.

Stopping the old man, she said, "No, what do you mean by saying you were given a sum of money and that's all you're saying? What do you mean? Your statements don't say that. Wait a minute!"

He assumed the other party didn't recognize him and was reluctant to tell the truth, so he loudly called in his trusted confidant.

Upon hearing his confidant's voice, the old man exclaimed, "Hey, that's the man! We recognize that voice. It's him. He gave us two sums of money, and that's why we said that."

The confidant was also bewildered. "What are you talking about? What do you mean you just said that? Didn't you want me to give you money? I gave you the money, and you're telling me the little boy isn't a local, that you've never even seen him before..."

Zheng Huaixin stared intently at the speaker.

Sister-in-law Yao's eyes were full of sarcasm.

"No, Shitou is Ayue's biological son. Her husband ran away halfway through their marriage, after getting into a university in Beijing. He ruined Ayue's life. That ingrate! He promised to take her and her two sons to live a life of luxury, but he never came back. What a heartless, treacherous scholar!"

The old man grumbled and cursed, expressing his indignation on behalf of Ah Yue.

Sister-in-law Yao was secretly overjoyed, cursing inwardly, "Zheng Huaixin, isn't that exciting?"

Zheng Huaixin said in disbelief, "A-Yue only gave me a daughter, where did this son come from? Where did he come from..."

He suddenly realized something, his pupils contracted sharply, and he looked abruptly at the woman next to the little boy.
