Chapter 99: Paternity Test Because Fang Qingzhuo is not from the Fang family at all...
"Mr. Fang, with this irrefutable evidence, Li Subaru is finished."
Compared to Tang Yan's excitement, Fang Qingzhuo simply said "hmm" and said nothing more.
Tang Yan was used to reading people's expressions. He made a cup of coffee and quickly handed it over. "Are you feeling unwell? You don't look well."
After a night without rest, Fang Qingzhuo's eyelids have been twitching non-stop since morning. He took a sip of fragrant coffee, but swallowed a bitter taste in his mouth: "I just didn't get enough rest."
He pressed his solar plexus, perking himself up again, and flipped through a few pages detailing how Vice President Li had abused his position to embezzle money in recent years. "By the way, let's get this meeting over with quickly. I have something urgent to attend to."
Tang Yan readily agreed, picked up the documents and went out to prepare for the meeting. Before leaving, he deliberately turned around to look at the tired man sitting in the leather chair, pinching his eyebrows furiously. Suddenly, the scene of the first time he met him emerged in his mind: the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 18, the not-too-green and well-rounded young man. He was here to deliver something on Fang Jueshan's orders. At that time, Fang Jueshan had not yet taken the position of chairman, and Mr. Fang was still alive.
Three generations live under the same roof, and he is the center of public attention. Shares in the group are given away like cabbage at any time. However, this young master has unusually low material desires. He does not have a habit of collecting sports cars and luxury watches worth millions, nor does he have an extravagant life of squandering money. On the contrary, he is very motivated.
The doubts that had been lingering in my mind for a long time suddenly came out of my mouth without a second thought: "You don't want to stay in your own company, but choose to start your own business from scratch. It must be more than just interest, right?"
Hearing this, Fang Qingzhuo stopped pinching his brows and revealed a pair of emotionless eyes: "And then?"
Tang Yan was suddenly terrified: "Sorry, I spoke out of turn."
After Tang Yan left, Fang Qingzhuo fell into deep thought. Luo Shu had asked him a similar question before: why did he choose to make games? His answer was, "Some players enjoy the thrill of unknown challenges, while others enjoy the sense of accomplishment of surviving desperate situations. But he's neither. He enjoys shaping the rules."
The meeting officially kicked off as scheduled. Since Fang Jueshan was not there, Fang Qingzhuo naturally presided over the meeting.
"To make a long story short, Yike's current mission is to eliminate..."
Li Subaru, standing by, took the initiative and said, "Before Mr. Fang speaks, I have two questions on behalf of all the directors and shareholders. Mr. Fang has never appeared in person. I'm afraid it would be unacceptable to the Supervisory Board to let you take over management rights based on just an email."
Fang Qingzhuo sat upright and said, "Just because I hold a higher stake than everyone else here, that makes sense."
Li Subaru simply stopped pretending: "Okay, then with all due respect, you are not qualified to give orders."
The phone buzzed. Fang Qingzhuo clicked on the new pop-up message and warned, "Vice President Li, please be mindful of your words right now."
Li Subaru didn't buy his tricks. "There must be something fishy going on if you don't let us see Mr. Fang. I have to suspect that you were the one who directed and acted out this whole thing from beginning to end."
Fang Qingzhuo calmly turned off the screen and put it in his pocket. "Everyone here is a veteran who has been with the group for a long time. They are not three-year-old children. Spreading rumors does not require evidence, but that is no excuse for you to maliciously disrupt this meeting and act like a tyrant."
"I'm certainly not talking for nothing."
"Oh, that means you come prepared."
Li Subaru knew that he couldn't play word games with him, so he gave him a wink and the double doors of the conference room were opened.
Everyone at the conference table looked out the door.
The moment Lin Su appeared in the conference room holding the famous little boy, it was like white phosphorus coming into contact with oxygen, producing an extraordinary chemical reaction.
Tang Yan was the first to stand up: "Vice President Li, this is an internal company meeting. What are you thinking of bringing irrelevant people here to cause trouble?"
"Of course, it's for Mr. Fang, to clean up Yike's mess." Li Subaru took the lead in welcoming Lin Su in. "I think it would be more convincing if the person involved could give his own account of the situation."
After receiving the instruction, Lin Su took Xiao Lang's hand and stepped into the center of this vortex of cannibalism. Five years had passed. On the night when she was insulted by Fang Jueshan, she secretly swore every second she was floating in the cold water that she would make Fang pay with blood.
Some time ago, she happened to hear a classmate bragging at a classmate reunion that a big shot had joined the private hospital where he worked. She paid close attention and found out that it was indeed Fang Jueshan who had joined the hospital. This led to her cooperation with Li Subaru today.
He scanned the familiar faces present one by one, finally settling on Fang Qingzhuo's face, which he hadn't seen in a long time. "I'm sure some of the senior executives here are familiar with me. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lin Su. Six years ago, I worked as General Manager Fang's secretary at Yike."
She squatted down and wiped her son's hair. "Tell the uncles and aunts present, what is your name?"
Although he didn't understand his mother's intention, Xiao Lang still said timidly as his mother had taught him: "My name is Fang Lang, and I'm five years old."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table looked at each other in surprise.
The atmosphere was set off by this, and Lin Su struck while the iron was hot: "Yes, he is Mr. Fang's son."
Tang Yan fell silent. Lin Su and Fang Jueshan's high-profile news story was a tacit understanding within the group. Now, a business matter had become a family affair, and he looked at Fang Qingzhuo, bewildered.
Fang Qingzhuo looked calm and leisurely as he walked between Li Subaru and Lin Su, and then looked at the child calmly.
Facing the gazes from the people around him, he just hid behind Lin Su. No matter his facial features or appearance, he didn't resemble Fang Jueshan at all.
"Is he really?"
Lin Su was fearless: "Are you trying to force me to tell you more detailed details of what happened back then?"
Fang Qingzhuo didn't care. "I'm just wondering, what have you been doing these past five years? If he's truly our flesh and blood, why didn't you come earlier or later, but at this critical moment? Do you have any written evidence directly acknowledging the parentage relationship or proof of child support payments?"
Lin Su was speechless.
Fang Qingzhuo curled his tail lightly: "That means there is no."
Feeling the pressure from all directions, Lin Su straightened her back and avoided the main issue: "Mr. Fang is recuperating in the hospital now, so we can do a paternity test."
Fang Qingzhuo narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment: "Don't bother with that. Just do a kinship test with me."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Su immediately objected strongly: "No."
Tang Yan couldn't stand it any longer and started to defend himself, accusing him: "It was you who took the initiative to ask for a paternity test, and now you're the one who doesn't want to do it. Yike is not a place you can play around with."
"We only do paternity tests, and Fang Qingzhuo can't do it." Before anyone could ask why, Lin Su raised her arm and pointed directly at Fang Qingzhuo, "Because he's not from the Fang family at all."
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and the executives present were all furious.
The extremely absurd remarks lingered in his ears for a few seconds, and Fang Qingzhuo suddenly understood that this was the highlight.
The chatter, some mild, some intense, continued when a senior shareholder suddenly spoke up, "Since today's group meeting has been interrupted, Mr. Fang, do you still plan to continue?"
Fang Qingzhuo's eyes slowly drifted towards the culprit: "Let's disperse."
In less than half a minute, most of the shareholders had left.
Li Subaru hadn't expected those old guys to be so naive. Glancing around the half-empty meeting room, he glared at Fang Qingzhuo and shouted, "Don't think I can't deal with you just because they're backing you up. As long as we, the senior directors, are here, you won't be allowed to mess around at Yike."
Fang Qingzhuo scoffed and turned to the executives who were watching. "Do you really think so? Are you going to push Yike into the spotlight as Vice President Li said, and let the outside world laugh at us?"
"Mr. Xiao Fang, that's not what we meant."
"Yes, we are absolutely loyal to Yike."
Fang Qingzhuo curled his lips in satisfaction: "Then Vice President Li, what are you trying to achieve by dragging everyone into this mess without caring about the consequences?"
Li Subaru angrily pointed out: "You are changing the concept."
Being accused for the second time in such a short period of time would make even the best-tempered person lose their temper, let alone the person being Fang Qingzhuo. He stood up impatiently, taking a step forward with each question Li Subaru asked. "You think you can make a conclusion about my past based on a few words from a woman who has been missing for a long time? Vice President Li, you are too delusional."
He brushed the finger away and said, "I believe everyone here is smart. After all, Yike's future is the guarantee of everyone's future."
At least there is one thing Fang Qingzhuo firmly believes in: when there are certain common interests, there will be people who will rush to cover up the gossip that is not in their favor. Not just cover it up, but completely crush it.
"Li Subaru is suspected of abusing his position to illegally profit, misappropriating company assets, and seriously violating regulations and discipline. He is now under investigation by the Supervisory Board. All matters on hand are suspended during the investigation. Further reports are welcome."
Just as Fang Qingzhuo was about to leave, Lin Su stopped him, unwilling to give up, "Are you so convinced of your own life story?"
Fang Qingzhuo stood in front of her condescendingly: "If you have something to say, please speak quickly. I'm very busy."
This arrogant tone really hasn't changed at all. Lin Su raised her face and smiled: "Two days before Zhu Jie took the medicine, do you know who she met?"
Then he leaned close to him and whispered a name.
The wound on his arm that was hit by the vase was now oozing with pain. Fang Qingzhuo rubbed his fingertips. So, the relationship that had not been found out was actually this one.
Lin Su's eyes curled up into a smug smile. At least Fang Qingzhuo hadn't changed in one way. As long as Zhu Jie was mentioned, it would inevitably touch upon her sensitive spot. "If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask the nanny at home if they always quarrel over this person."
Fang Qingzhuo said succinctly: "What do you want?"
Seeing the fish taking the bait, Lin Su unscrupulously slashed his chest with a vertical stroke.
"Okay." Fang Qingzhuo's eyes suddenly turned downwards after he uttered this word. The little boy who had been hiding beside Lin Su was so frightened by his sharp gaze that he quickly retracted his head, and the name tag on the shoulder strap of his schoolbag was immediately exposed to his vision.
【Guo Fang Lang】
He patted the stain on his chest and said slowly, "Then it's as you say..."
The corner of Lin Su's mouth curled up halfway in triumph.
"A paternity test."
Half an hour later, in the vice president's office, Li Subaru discovered that all his permissions had been suspended. He smashed his keyboard and threw his mouse, "Damn it! I'm really done for now."
As if he had thought of something, he angrily walked towards the woman on the sofa, "It's all your fault, bitch. If you asked me to cooperate, didn't you guarantee that Fang Qingzhuo would be brought down by us?"
Lin Su quickly covered her son's ears while he was sleeping: "Try to be rude again. Can't you see there is a child here?"
Li Subaru was filled with rage and shouted again, "Damn it, he's not my son."
Lin Su coldly stated the undeniable fact: "Without me, you would have been finished long ago."
Realizing he was truly at the end of his rope, Li Subaru forced himself to calm down. "Then let me ask you, is the bastard in your arms from the Fang family?"
After a brief silence, Lin Su remained noncommittal. "You just need to know that we are now tied to the same rope. If Fang Jueshan is gone, Fang Qingzhuo won't be able to jump around for long."
Li Subaru gritted his teeth and said, "Are you sure Fang Jueshan is really dead?"
Lin Su secretly clenched her fists. She was sure that Fang Jueshan would not show up, so she dared to step into this muddy water and gamble her future. But Fang Qingzhuo was not moved by her words or tricks.
"The doctor at the hospital saw with his own eyes a body being wheeled out of Fang Jueshan's ward and sent to the morgue. Besides, didn't I send you the video?"
“Does anyone know if it’s AI-generated?”
Hearing this, Lin Su picked up her son and pretended to leave: "Then let's wait until the Supervisory Board sends you to the police station, and then we can talk."
"Stop." Li Subaru stopped her helplessly. "But Fang Qingzhuo is clearly not afraid of the appraisal. What are your chances of winning?"
Lin Su didn't care about winning or losing, her only goal was money. She wanted to make the matter of the illegitimate child known to everyone. Since the company was not taking any action, she would use the desperado in front of her to expose the matter to the public eye, and then blackmail him for a huge sum of money and run away.
"Don't let him struggle to the bitter end. Instead of wasting time on internal strife, you should use some connections to make this matter bigger. It would be best if you could tamper with the newly developed projects and make things difficult for Fang Qingzhuo, the new official. When he can't handle it, the whole group will definitely no longer tolerate him."
Li Subaru suppressed his anger and said, "I'm in a dilemma now. Who would be willing to help me?"
Lin Su patted him and reminded him: "There is a saying that goes, the enemy of my enemy is our friend."
After two seconds of silence, Li Subaru made up his mind. He stared at Lin Su fiercely with a fierce look on his face: "That's better, otherwise I will drag you down with me until I die."
