Chapter 406 You Have a Child
It was a detailed document with a clear photo of a child at the top.
"Does this child look familiar?" Chi Wenyan's voice was a little playful.
Chi Lin's attention was attracted by the photo. The little boy in the photo looked about four or five years old. His eyebrows and eyes were 70% similar to Chi Lin's when he was young.
A feeling of utter absurdity instantly seized him.
"Who is this?" Chi Lin's voice trembled uncontrollably.
"His name is An An, and he used to live in an orphanage in the south of the city." Chi Wenyan said slowly, each word hitting Chi Lin's heart like a hammer. "Very cute, isn't he? Especially those eyes, they are exactly like yours."
"Orphanage? What do you mean?" Chi Lin's heart began to beat wildly, and a terrible thought popped up uncontrollably.
"What I mean is," Chi Wenyan looked down at him, his eyes as sharp as a knife, "he is your son, your Chi Lin, your only biological son."
"My...son?" Chi Lin's eyes suddenly widened, the blood draining from his face, leaving only ashes. "Impossible, how could I have a son? I don't even..."
"Don't remember?" Chi Wenyan chuckled, with extreme sarcasm, "Then let me help you recall. Five years ago, your high school classmates had a reunion, and you drank too much, didn't you?"
Chi Lin's pupils suddenly contracted, and dusty fragments of memory began to emerge.
He was indeed very drunk at that party, and he could not remember clearly what happened afterwards.
"It seems you remember a little bit." Chi Wenyan nodded with satisfaction. "The mother of the child is your high school classmate, Lin Wei. After that night, she found out she was pregnant, but she didn't dare tell you, and she didn't want to ruin your life at the time, so she chose to give birth to the child alone in secret."
"Lin Wei..." Chi Lin murmured the name, and a blurry face flashed through his mind.
That quiet and introverted girl who always sits quietly in the corner.
"Where is she? Where is that woman?" Chi Lin suddenly became excited and roared as if grasping at the last straw, "I want to see her. I want to know clearly."
"See her?" Chi Wenyan's expression became even more sarcastic. "I'm afraid you won't have this chance."
The assistant handed over another document at the right time.
Chi Wenyan took it and threw it in front of Chi Lin. It was a death certificate issued by the hospital.
"Lin Wei died of a sudden heart attack a year ago." Chi Wenyan's voice was devoid of any warmth. "She raised the child alone, living in poverty and becoming ill from overwork. Until her death, she never told you about the child's existence. And you knew nothing about it."
"No, it's impossible." Chi Lin looked at the death certificate written in black and white, and as if all his strength had been drained away, he collapsed to the ground. He had hated and fought for his whole life, but in the end, not only was he not a member of the Chi family, he didn't even know he had a biological son.
He didn't even know when the child's mother died of loneliness and illness.
The overwhelming sense of absurdity and despair completely consumed him.
He thought he hated Chi Wenyan and the Chi family, but in the end, what he hated most was perhaps himself, a complete loser.
Ji Wan looked at Chi Lin, who looked like a madman with a distracted look, and felt nauseous.
This man is not only vicious, but also stupid and selfish to the extreme.
"You don't even know you have a child, and you don't even know how the child's mother died. What qualifications do you have to talk about hatred? What qualifications do you have to live?"
Ji Wan's voice was cold and full of contempt.
Chi Lin suddenly looked up, his distracted eyes meeting Ji Wan's disgusted gaze. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. In the end, all he could do was a strange laugh that sounded like a broken bellows. As he laughed, tears mixed with snot flowed all over his face.
The strange smile on Chi Lin's face suddenly stopped, and a terrifying light suddenly gathered in his scattered pupils.
Son, but he also has a son, a child with eyes exactly like his. In the abyss of despair, a twisted vine suddenly grew out, and he was like a dying man grabbing a life-saving straw, trying to climb up like crazy.
"Son, my son." He kept repeating it, his eyes turning from dead to fanatical. "Yes, I still have a son. Wen Yan, you can't touch me. I am his only relative. I want to see him. Take me to see him immediately."
The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, but it revealed a morbid excitement.
He struggled to get up from the ground. It seemed that this thought gave him infinite strength, making him temporarily forget that he was a fake, forget Lin Wei's death, and forget all the failures and unbearable things.
He now had only one thought in mind, to catch his son. This was his last hope and the only trace that could prove his existence.
He even subconsciously clenched the small metal object hidden in his sleeve. That was his last trump card, the spark that he was ready to use to burn himself and himself to death.
With his son, he has everything.
"Take me to see him." Chi Lin roared, his eyes bloodshot, and tried to pounce on Chi Wenyan.
Chi Wenyan looked at his ugly dying struggle with his eyes cold and without a trace of emotion.
He didn't even bother to say another word, just tilted his head slightly.
In a flash, two black shadows jumped out from the corner like ghosts, moving as fast as cheetahs.
"Ugh." Chi Lin felt a sharp pain in his wrist and groaned as the "fire" he was holding flew out of his hand and was caught firmly by one of them. The other quickly twisted his arms behind his back and rammed his knee into his back, pinning him to the cold floor, unable to move.
"Let me go, let me go, I am his father." Chi Lin twisted in vain like a fish out of water, roaring like a trapped beast, but the sound was quickly blocked by the repressive force, leaving only heavy gasps and whimpering.
The crisis was suddenly resolved.
The tense atmosphere relaxed instantly.
The breath that Ji Wan had been holding on to also dissipated.
Everything in front of me began to spin, and Chi Lin's roar and Chi Wenyan's cold voice in my ears became distant and blurred.
The confrontation just now, Chi Lin’s madness, the shock of the death certificate, and the sudden change.
Scenes flashed through her mind quickly, and the dramatic ups and downs of emotions were like a roller coaster, instantly draining all her strength.
She felt dizzy, her vision went dark, and her body fell backwards limply.
"Wanwan." Chi Wenyan's face suddenly changed, and his calm and indifferent expression was instantly replaced by panic. He took a step forward and accurately hugged her in his arms before she fell to the ground.
