On the other side, Jiang Linghao and Han Zhengyu also began to investigate the identities of Chen Xu and Chen Zirong.
The final results of the investigation surprised everyone. What no one expected was Chen Zirong and Fu Linxiao. No, it should be related to the Fu family.
A previous generation of the Fu family had a girl named Fu Xiaowan, Fu Linxiao's aunt. She was kidnapped 20 years ago by none other than Chen Zirong! It's unknown what happened in between, but the warehouse where Fu Xiaowan was abducted caught fire. Fu Xiaowan jumped from the second floor, narrowly escaping death, but suffered extensive burns and crippled legs, confined to a wheelchair. Perhaps the kidnapping had profound consequences for her, leading her to commit suicide a few years after being rescued. Chen Zirong, grievously injured, died in the warehouse. But their investigation only yielded this much information; the rest is untraceable. Perhaps the Fu family hid most of the information.
It is unknown why Chen Zirong kidnapped Fu Xiaowan, where the fire came from, and what exactly happened in the warehouse.
After several days of investigation, it was discovered that Chen Zirong was not a native of the capital, but an outsider who had started a real estate company. At the time, he was steadily developing and prospering. If the kidnapping had not been planned and the accident had not occurred, with his current strength, he could have easily become one of the wealthy families in the capital.
However, all the information about Chen Zirong before he came to the imperial capital was blank and could not be found. There was no trace of what he had done before and where he came from. This made everyone even more confused and uneasy. Is Chen Xu's current actions revenge for Chen Zirong or does he have other intentions?
The paternity test showed that Chen Xu was Chen Zirong's biological son. Chen Xu was only 1.2 years old when the paternity test was conducted. Who conducted the test? According to their investigation, Chen Zirong was not married at the time. So who was Chen Xu's biological mother? Why was he adopted by the Dong family? None of this is known.
Fu Linxiao looked at everything Jiang Linghao and the other man had investigated, then looked at the people in the box without saying a word.
"Brother Lin Xiao, do you still remember this incident?" Jiang Luoning asked tactfully.
"I have no recollection of the kidnapping," Fu Linxiao recalled.
"Linxiao, we may have to go to the Fu family's old house. Only uncle and Mr. Fu can give us the answer to this matter." Han Zhengyu looked at Fu Linxiao and spoke in a gentle voice.
Fu Linxiao nodded without saying anything and drank the remaining half of the liquor in the glass.
As it was getting late, they agreed to visit the elders of the Fu family at home the next day.
When leaving the club, Fu Linxiao was helped into the car by everyone. Jiang Linghao and Jiang Luoning took him back to Mu Ning Garden. Jiang Linghao glanced at Fu Linxiao who was thrown on the bed, and still felt a little sorry. He said to Jiang Luoning, "I'll ask Li Yang to come and take you back. I'm a little worried about Linxiao's condition. There are no other servants here in Mu Ning Garden."
Jiang Luoning glanced at his eldest brother, then at Fu Linxiao who was pretending to be drunk: "Forget it, I'll stay here with you! It's too late, don't bother Li Yang, he has to go to the company tomorrow to handle work for you."
Jiang Linghao thought about it and agreed since they still had to go to the Fu family's old house together tomorrow. He said to Jiang Luoning, "Then you take care of him for a while. I'll make him some sobering tea and then go take a shower. This brat has made me so sweaty all over."
Jiang Luoning nodded in agreement. Jiang Linghao kicked Fu Linxiao and said to him threateningly, "Behave yourself, boy. Don't mess with my sister!" Then he turned and left the room.
Fu Linxiao lay on the bed. Jiang Luoning looked around the room. This was the first time he came to Fu Linxiao's room after his rebirth. Just like in his previous life, it was black, white and gray, with no other colors to be found.
After Jiang Linghao's footsteps disappeared on the third floor, Jiang Luoning asked, "Fu Linxiao, how long are you going to pretend?"
Fu Linxiao, who was lying on the bed, looked at Jiang Luoning with one eye, pretending to be nonchalant and said, "Hey, our little Ning'er found out."
"Fu Linxiao, can I be an exception?" Jiang Luoning looked at Fu Linxiao and said slowly, "You don't need to pretend with me, and you don't need to hide your sadness."
Jiang Luoning knew that Fu Linxiao's emotions were obviously fluctuating when he heard the news about the Fu family and Aunt Wan'er, but he was enduring and restraining himself.
When Fu Linxiao heard what Jiang Luoning said, he sat up and looked at Jiang Luoning. His eyes were slightly red, and he asked in a hoarse voice with a humble and pleading tone: "Ning'er, can you let Brother Linxiao hold you for a while?" After that, he opened his arms.
Jiang Luoning looked at the completely different Fu Linxiao in front of him, and slowly walked forward, gently hugging Fu Linxiao, and placed his hand on Fu Linxiao's head, gently stroking it. Fu Linxiao put his hands at his sides, wanting to raise his hands to hug Jiang Luoning back, but after a moment of hesitation, he gave up.
"Ning'er, do you know? In my impression, my aunt is a very gentle person. She would hold me and make a swing, teach me to walk, and teach me to call mom and dad. But suddenly one day my aunt disappeared. My mother told me that my aunt had gone out for something and would be back soon. I waited for a long time. Later, my aunt came back, but she was no longer the aunt in my memory. She threw things and kept hitting her legs. She fell down and I wanted to help her, but she wouldn't let me and pushed me aside. I thought I did something wrong and my aunt didn't like me anymore, but grandpa told me that my aunt was sick and everything would be fine after she recovered..." Jiang Luoning listened to Fu Linxiao telling stories about Fu Wan'er while pulling back the quilt to motion Fu Linxiao to lie down. Fu Linxiao obediently lay down and covered himself with the quilt, and saw Jiang Luoning sitting beside him and accompanying him to continue listening to his story.
"I thought my aunt would stay with me like before after she recovered from her illness, but one day she asked me to go to the doctor who usually treated her to get medicine, saying that if I did well, she would accompany me to play racing. I did as she said, and the doctor gave me three white bottles. He told me to keep them well. I knew that they were medicines to treat my aunt, and I couldn't take them secretly. I had to protect them well. I obediently took the things back to my aunt, but when I woke up the next day, the old house was in chaos. My aunt committed suicide, and the medicine I brought back the day before was placed on the bedside... Damn Chen Zirong,... I... wasn't that the same?" Fu Linxiao's voice was extremely hoarse at this moment. Jiang Luoning listened to his muffled voice, and spoke softly to comfort him: "It's not your fault, go to sleep, it will all be over when you wake up." As he spoke, he gently patted Fu Linxiao's back. Fu Linxiao obediently closed his eyes and fell asleep after an unknown amount of time.
Jiang Linghao had returned with the hangover soup long before Fu Linxiao lay down. He didn't go in when he heard Fu Linxiao's voice, but retreated quietly to his room. He suddenly remembered the little boy who used to follow him around and always call him "Brother Linghao" but suddenly grew up, became silent, and became distant.
