Fu Cheng, holding the heavy pistol, looked at Mo Huaixing with bloodshot eyes: "When you sent out the ledger, did you think about my life or death?"
His previously expressionless eyes finally moved, but Mo Huaixing only glanced at him and said nothing.
"So you've been lying to me for the past four years. Brothers in arms, what a joke!" Fu Cheng angrily raised his gun. "You risked your life to save me back then just to gain my trust?"
"Yes!" Mo Huaixing lowered his head and sneered, "How could I possibly be your brother? It's always been your wishful thinking."
Fu Cheng pressed the gun against Mo Huaixing's head and roared, "Say it again, look me in the eyes, and say it again."
Mo Huaixing remained silent.
Ali was annoyed. "Why are you wasting your breath talking to him?"
Fu Cheng suppressed his anger, his trembling voice carrying a barely perceptible plea, "As long as you give up your identity and stay faithfully by my godfather's side, I can beg my godfather to spare your life."
Mo Huaixing looked up, met his gaze directly, and said with disdain, "You're not worthy to be my brother."
Fu Cheng reversed his gun and smashed it on his head, causing blood to gush out.
A black car stopped at the corner of the uphill road. Fu Shaojie dragged He Zhong out of the car, threw him in front of Lu Zhengqian, and said arrogantly, "Dad, He Zhong tried to run away, but my sister and I caught him."
Lu Zhengqian stood up, walked up to He Zhong, tapped him on the head, and said impatiently, "Fourth brother, why are you still so restless?"
"Dad, he stole something too, but luckily my sister snatched it back." Fu Shaojie kicked He Zhong, who was sitting on the ground, and scolded, "What did he steal? Tell me."
"Fu Shaojie, you idiot!" He Zhong looked at Lu Zhengqian in fear. "Brother, it's the account book. Gan Tang ran away with the account book."
Fu Shaojie was bewildered: "Who is Gan Tang?"
“Brother, Gan Tang is not your daughter at all.” He Zhong pointed at Mo Huaixing. “Mo Huaixing tampered with the paternity test back then. They have been lying to you all along.”
Fu Shaojie said anxiously, "How could that be? My sister just called me and asked where I was."
Mo Huaixing raised his blood-soaked face and laughed: "Fu Yuanshan, you lost."
Lu Zhengqian staggered backward. In this scheme, he had included everyone except his precious daughter, whom he cherished dearly. He had even plotted against Mo Huaixing and Susu for her sake, just so that she wouldn't be too heartbroken after learning the truth.
"Godfather!" Fu Cheng hurriedly went to help Lu Zhengqian.
Lu Zhengqian snatched the gun from Fu Cheng's hand, pointed it at Mo Huaixing, and angrily asked, "Who are you?"
Mo Huaixing said with a face full of disdain, "You are not worthy to know."
With a bang, Ali kicked Mo Huaixing, sending him to his knees.
"Then go die!" Lu Zhengqian shook his head, released the safety, and pointed at Mo Huaixing's head.
"He is your son."
A trembling female voice rang out, followed by a gunshot as a bullet grazed Mo Huaixing's head.
Everyone turned to look and saw Gan Tang scramble up from the mountain path and head straight for Mo Huaixing. Her head was covered in blood. Gan Tang was terrified and knelt before him, examining the wounds on his head. "Did you get hit? Did you get hit?"
Mo Huaixing was heartbroken, "Who let you come back!"
Gan Tang timidly looked away from him, turned to Lu Zhengqian, and forced a show of strength: "I didn't hand the ledger over to the police. Let us go, and I'll give you the ledger. Otherwise, we'll all die together."
Lu Zhengqian asked in a daze, "What did you just say?"
“I didn’t say anything.” Gan Tang looked directly at Lu Zhengqian and emphasized again, “Let us go, and I will return the ledger to you.”
“Once something is lost, even if it is found, it is no longer trustworthy.” Lu Zhengqian let out a long sigh, raised the gun again, and aimed it at Mo Huaixing.
Gan Tang stood in front of Mo Huaixing, finally unable to hide it any longer, and said with difficulty, "Mo Huaixing is your and Jian Suhuai's child."
“Brother, don’t believe her nonsense,” He Zhong warned. “She’s just trying to stall for time until the police come to rescue them. We should deal with them quickly and escape abroad, or it will be too late.”
“I have evidence.” Gan Tang looked around and asked, “Are there any oranges?”
Ali frowned. "Where are the oranges?"
Lu Zhengqian angrily said, "Give it to her."
"I'll go buy it." Fu Cheng turned to leave, but Fu Shaojie grabbed him. "I have some in my car."
Gan Tang took the orange that Fu Shaojie handed her, turned to look at Mo Huaixing, and burst into tears: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
She knew he would rather die than be Fu Yuanshan's son, but she couldn't bear to let him die.
The sour orange peel juice dripped into Mo Huaixing's eyes, turning his dark brown pupils blue.
Lu Zhengqian stepped back in disbelief. No one else knew why Mr. Fu was reacting so strongly, but He Zhong said anxiously, "Brother, this girl is good at playing tricks. So what if her eyes turn blue? It's impossible that your family is the only one with this kind of genetic trait. Don't be fooled by her."
"His father is Sheng Weide, and his birthday is November 18, 1996. Don't you know whether Sheng Weide's wife had children before she died?" At this point, Gan Tang gasped for breath, roaring, "His name is Sheng Ziyi. You killed him, just wait for Sheng Weide to come and laugh at you!"
Lu Zhengqian clutched his chest, on the verge of fainting. Fu Cheng quickly supported him.
"Ali, get a charred corpse, burn it clean; Acheng, you keep an eye on the police's movements." Lu Zhengqian said, finally looking at Mo Huaixing, "Take them back."
...
In the secret room, Mo Huaixing sat leaning against the corner, as quiet as a stone, with only one finger wriggling on the ground.
What was he writing?
In Lu Zhengqian's study, Ali stared at the footage from the hidden camera, scratching his head in confusion.
"He's writing his own name." Gan Tang looked away, heartbroken. Once, he had so proudly written his name on his palm. But now, that name had become the sole testament to his life, cruelly mocking his ridiculous and laughable existence.
Lu Zhengqian paused in his tea-making, glanced at the surveillance footage, and then continued making tea.
The door to the secret room opened. Although Mo Huaixing's hands were bound, his legs could still move. He drove wave after wave of people out.
The subordinates dared not use force and rushed back to report, "Mr. Fu, Mo... he won't let us take the hair."
Nowadays, the members of the Green Dragon Gang no longer know how to address Mo Huaixing.
Mo Huaixing's face appeared clearly on the surveillance footage; he was smiling. Suddenly, the image cut off.
He broke free of the ropes and smashed the camera.
"I've said everything I needed to say. Let me go see him." Gan Tang's heart trembled, and she got up and ran.
With a thud, her legs were tied to the sofa legs, and she fell heavily to the ground. Her hands, bound behind her back, struggled fiercely, but she couldn't break free of the ropes.
Gan Tang burst into tears, "Dad, let me go see him, I'll get your hair out. It'll be too late if we wait any longer, he'll die."
