Fang Ziyang was speechless and felt a little guilty for some unknown reason.
He really didn't expect that the legendary powerful and domineering leader of the Xie family would actually be such a pure person!
Didn’t he just bite the other person last time? It couldn’t be considered a real kiss at all. Although it is normal for men to marry each other nowadays, it is not necessary to keep a general distance between men and women.
It was just a bite and my lip was scratched, it shouldn't be a big deal, right? Why does it seem like I have left such a big shadow on the other party now?
It is really hard to imagine that in today's open era, there would still be a weirdo like Xie Zheng. A seasoned man who has experienced much of society is actually more shy than a virgin!
What kind of virgin man is this that is hard to come by in a million years...
Fang Ziyang suddenly felt guilty that he had defiled some holy and cold flower.
He silently withdrew his hand with guilt.
Fang Ziyang looked at the serious man in front of him and couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of his heart. He said mischievously,
"Uncle Xie, do I look like a monster? Why do you look like you are afraid of me?"
His embarrassment was exposed directly, and even Xie Zheng, who had facial paralysis for many years, couldn't help but blush.
How could he not be afraid? In his entire life, he had never met someone like Fang Ziyang, someone he couldn't even find words to describe. There were people who wanted to get close to him and seduce him before, but no one had the courage that Fang Ziyang had.
In the past, whenever he met someone who came close to him, he could freeze them away with just a look. But after news of him being unlucky came out, there was no one around him anymore.
However, Fang Ziyang was an exception. The other party was not afraid of his aura and the legend of Lone Star at all.
They kissed each other right away last time they met, and this time it was even more intense. I felt like he had a crush on her! Following this logic, should I drag him to bed next time we meet? !
This was unbelievable to Xie Zheng, who had a serious obsession with emotional cleanliness. It was too scary...
The corners of his mouth twitched.
Facing Fang Ziyang's mischievous smile, Xie Zheng managed to utter a sentence after a long while, "Although I am only ten years older than you, I am still your elder. It's not good for you to be like this. Do you have any other questions? If not, I still need to attend the meeting."
The best way to deal with a little devil who can't be beaten or scolded is to just stay away from him.
After all these years, this was the first time that Xie Zheng felt so embarrassed and troubled because of someone.
And it was the first time in Fang Ziyang's life that he met such a pure man.
He took a deep breath, feeling a little embarrassed to destroy this pure and cold flower.
"Okay, Uncle Xie, whatever you say is what I will do. I will be a well-behaved child in the future. Since Uncle Xie is so kind and is willing to take care of me out of pity, why don't you do me one more thing?"
Fang Ziyang nodded helplessly and took out his cell phone as he spoke.
He took out the backup of the photo he got from Yan Tong and showed it to Xie Zheng. "Uncle Xie is very powerful. Can you help me check the woman on the left in this photo?"
Fang Ziyang asked Xie Zheng to help investigate the mysterious woman in the photo on a whim.
During this period of time, he has been trying to find someone to investigate, but he was afraid of attracting Fang Yandong's attention, so he didn't dare to take any big actions.
And the incident that happened 20 years ago was deliberately covered up, and it is not possible for an ordinary detective to find out the truth. Although his hacking skills were good, they were not omnipotent. After all, China's Internet was not as common as it is now, and a lot of information could not be found on the computer at all.
However, when he met Xie Zheng again today and discovered that Xie Zheng's attitude towards him was very special, he suddenly had an idea.
Xie Zheng's power and ability are obviously strong. If Xie Zheng is willing to help, many things will become much simpler.
Although a bit reckless.
But Fang Ziyang had a hunch that he might be able to trust Xie Zheng.
Hand the phone to Xie Zheng.
Xie Zheng did not refuse immediately. He took the task and checked it naturally. If it did not involve his bottom line, he did not mind helping.
However, this look...
Xie Zheng's face suddenly changed and his pupils shrank suddenly.
He raised his head again and looked at Fang Ziyang with a serious expression. His eyes were scrutinizing him, and his previously calm voice suddenly became slightly defensive and cold.
"Why are you checking this? Is this woman related to you?"
Although Xie Zheng's expression changed quickly.
But Fang Ziyang still noticed it. After all, his 18-year-old body now houses a 28-year-old soul. Having experienced so many things, his abilities in some aspects are not much worse than Xie Zheng's.
Fang Ziyang calmly noted Xie Zheng's abnormality and did not hide it. He said directly,
"You can probably tell from the photos that this woman and my mother used to be friends. But I recently got some news that she might not only be my mother's friend, but also my father's lover. The child she's holding might be my father's illegitimate child..."
Xie Zheng's expression changed.
Fang Ziyang continued to speak, half true, half false.
"I was so stupid before that I always thought my father loved me very much, but until the incident of the hot search video happened, I realized that I had been living a lie. His kindness to me was just flattery, and he didn't get married for so many years not because he loved my mother deeply."
"Some time ago, he coaxed my elder brother and me into giving him the shares of the group, so I have a reasonable suspicion that all he has done over the years is to keep everything in the Fang family, waiting to take his 'true love' and son back home one day..."
Xie Zheng listened without saying anything, but his expression kept changing.
Fang Ziyang looked at the other person's expression and said, "Of course, there is another possibility."
"What is possible?"
Perhaps the news was too shocking, Xie Zheng was unable to remain calm, and he responded quickly. It was obvious that Xie Zheng maintained a negative attitude towards the above speculation.
"Another possibility is that the child in this photo is my biological brother..."
Fang Ziyang analyzed,
"Although it's ridiculous, I've thought about this suspicion carefully. Because my father treats me and my brother very differently. Although my father also wants my brother's shares, he doesn't dote on my brother like he does me."
"When I was little, I thought I was more favored by my father, but now it seems that I might be narcissistic."
"Besides, my relationship with my brother has never been good since we were young. Fang Qianhao has never treated me as a younger brother, and I don't feel close to him."
"So I have a bold suspicion that my father swapped his illegitimate son with my biological brother... In this way, his beloved son could openly become the eldest son of the Fang family and inherit the huge inheritance left by my grandfather."
This speculation can be made even without Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhang's confession of "child swapping".
After all, Fang Yandong's attitude towards him and Fang Qianhao was too confusing. Why were they both children of the same mother, but there were two extreme forms of partiality towards them?
"But there are still some questions I can't figure out, so I can only ask Uncle Xie to help investigate. If you don't figure things out, I'm worried that one day I might die without knowing how I died..."
At the end of his words, Fang Ziyang showed a hint of sarcasm.
Didn't he not know the truth until his death in his previous life? He was fooled around and used as a stepping stone for others, and only found out in this life.
Dramatic disputes among wealthy families have always been common.
With Xie Zheng's temperament, he would not be too shaken after hearing such a secret, but what Fang Ziyang said at this moment caused his emotions to fluctuate greatly.
Just because he knew the woman in the photo.
She looks familiar. Isn't that Tang Xun's mother...
Xie Zheng suddenly realized that he and Rick didn't understand why Tang Xun was so nice to Fang Ziyang.
Because Tang Xun is Fang Ziyang's brother!
Whether he is his biological brother with the same mother and father, or his half-brother with the same father and mother, both can explain Tang Xun's behavior over the years.
But which one it is requires a detailed investigation.
Things might not be as simple as Fang Ziyang guessed.
With a solemn mood, he took out his mobile phone and took a photo. Xie Zheng nodded and agreed to help.
"Okay, I'll help you check the woman in the photo, but you have to promise me not to do anything rash before the results come out. This matter may be more complicated than you think..."
"Yes, I know."
Fang Ziyang looked at Xie Zheng, whose expression changed several times, and he had an idea in his mind.
It seems that even if Xie Zheng doesn't help, he has a new direction for investigation.
His guess was right. Yan Tong would never do anything insignificant. If he could solve the secret of this photo, he might get an unexpected surprise.
"Rick? Go to the research building right now to pick up Tang Xun and take him home. I'll come find you guys right away. I have something to tell Tang Xun."
"Ah? What's the hurry? Can't you tell me over the phone?"
"Tang Xun's background. I suspect that Aunt Zheng is not Tang Xun's mother at all. Tang Xun is Fang Ziyang's biological brother, with the same father and mother."
“…”
After leaving the coffee shop, Xie Zheng, with a serious expression, asked his secretary to cancel the next meeting and drove to the villa where Tang Xun and Rick lived.
Although he did not believe all of Fang Ziyang's words, he believed about 70% of them.
In fact, the situation of the Fang family was not unnoticed. Fang Yandong had been hiding the fact that he had been raising his youngest son as a waste from others, but he, Tang Xun, and Rick, who had been paying attention to Fang Ziyang, could not hide it from them.
However, they did not think too deeply about the matter. They just thought that Fang Yandong was deliberately training one son and ruining another in order to prevent internal strife in the family.
Although it is a bit cruel, it is also understandable. After all, there are too many fights among the wealthy families. As a father, it is normal that he cannot bear to see his own sons killing each other. If anyone is to blame, it's Fang Ziyang's bad luck that made him the one who was abandoned.
Although Tang Xun wanted to help Fang Ziyang very much, his reach was not long enough to get involved in the internal affairs of the Fang family.
I can only take care of it in private so that it doesn't grow too crooked...
However, after hearing what Fang Ziyang said today, Xie Zheng felt that the whole matter was serious.
Of Fang Ziyang's two speculations, he tends to believe the latter.
Because if Aunt Zheng was really Fang Yandong's true love and had been planning to bring his beloved woman and son home, then why had there been no contact between the two parties for so many years? Why didn’t you care about Tang Xun at all?
You know, when he met Tang Xun, Tang Xun and his mother were not living well abroad.
If it weren't for his financial support, Tang Xun wouldn't be able to go to school, and even having enough food and clothing would be a problem. Therefore, we can definitely rule out the speculation that Fang Yandong has been planning to bring his adopted true love home.
So, that leaves the second guess.
Tang Xun is the real eldest son of the Fang family. Fang Qianhao is an illegitimate child, and their identities have been swapped. That's why Fang Yandong has such different attitudes towards his two sons at home and doesn't care about Tang Xun who is wandering outside at all.
But if that’s the case… then the problem arises again!
Since Fang Yandong truly loves his eldest son, it means that he must truly like Fang Qianhao's mother. So why did he tolerate his beloved woman suffering outside and ignored her for many years?
Does Aunt Zheng know about this?
If Aunt Zheng knew, then these years... It's really terrifying when you think about it.
Xie Zheng was in a heavy mood.
He and Tang Xun have known each other for many years. Outsiders think they are a very good boss and subordinate, but in fact they are friends who are willing to risk their lives for each other.
Everyone thought that he was in great glory as the head of the Xie family, but no one knew the difficulties and dangers he faced in private. His fiancée who died "accidentally" several times in a row and his friends who kept having various accidents were the best evidence of this.
Tang Xun has made great efforts to help him reach his current position, and has helped him to ward off countless dangers.
I didn't expect that the donation I made on a whim would result in such a good friend.
Tang Xun is a person who values feelings very much. He doesn't want anyone to hurt him over this. What he heard today was really shocking...
Xie Zheng arrived at the suburban villa with a heavy mood.
Rick has brought Tang Xun back. Although there were only two short sentences of explanation on the phone, it was enough to make people's faces change drastically.
Tang Xun's face was a little pale at this moment. When he saw Xie Zheng appear, he immediately stood up anxiously.
The other party looked like he had suffered a major blow, and his emotions were somewhat out of control. "Boss, are you telling Rick the truth? Fang Ziyang and I are brothers? Brothers with the same father and mother?"
"Tang, calm down. Let Xie sit down and talk slowly." Rick comforted him worriedly.
But at this moment, Tang Xun was on the verge of collapse and could not listen at all. He shouted as if he was stimulated.
"I can't calm down! Rick, you don't know, I can't calm down! You don't know what this news means to me!"
"If this is true, I am such a fool. I have watched my biological brother being destroyed step by step all these years! I have always been filial to the woman who took away everything from my biological mother!"
Tang Xun, who has always had a mild temper, lost his composure for the first time and said such rude words in front of outsiders.
The sudden truth was too hard to accept, and it almost overturned all his cognition.
But no matter how unacceptable it is, reality is still reality.
Xie Zheng also clenched his fists, and waited until Tang Xun calmed down a little before speaking with difficulty.
"Although I haven't verified it yet, it should be pretty close. I've thought carefully about what Fang Ziyang said, and all his logic is reasonable. The most important thing is that photo alone can explain a lot of things..."
While Xie Zheng was taking out the photos on his phone, he recounted his previous conversation with Fang Ziyang.
By the way, I also shared some of my own speculations and analysis.
"Fang Ziyang's first guess can be ruled out 100%, but the guess that you and Fang Qianhao's identities were swapped is 90% correct."
"...We all know the situation at the Fang family, so we won't say more. What is certain is that Fang Yandong must be aware of the fact that his son was swapped. What we need to think about is whether Aunt Zheng knows about this matter?"
"If Aunt Zheng didn't know, then forget it. But if she knew her son was swapped, then why did Aunt Zheng choose to separate her and her son and run away when she knew Fang Yandong's feelings for her, instead of marrying directly into the Fang family after Madam Fang passed away?"
Xie Zheng looked at Tang Xun and could only speak cruelly.
"Tang Xun, I know the truth may be a little cruel, but we have to accept the facts. Tell me what you know, and we can discuss it together to come up with the best solution."
Rick nodded as well and held his lover's hand, "Don, trust us."
Tang Xun sat on the sofa, his body trembling, his eyes bloodshot, trying hard to suppress his out-of-control emotions. He closed his eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice,
"Okay, I'll tell you..."
"Aren't you always wondering why I'm so protective of Fang Ziyang? That's because I've always known that he is my brother, but not in the way you think. What I 'know' is that I'm Fang Yandong's illegitimate son, and Ziyang is my half-brother."
"When I was in middle school, my mother told me my 'life story'. She said that although she and my father loved each other at the beginning, because of the huge gap in status, the Fang family did not agree, so they could not be together at all and had to break up."
"But she was young and hot-headed at the time, and she couldn't figure it out and didn't give up. She kept in touch with the other party after my father got married, and became Fang Yandong's underground lover. Then I was born..."
"Later, she regretted it very much. She felt that her behavior was wrong. She felt sorry for the kind-hearted Mrs. Fang and shouldn't have pestered Fang Yandong after he got married. But she couldn't bear to abort the child. In the end, she had no choice but to leave the sad place and took me abroad."
"She didn't plan to tell me the story at first, but then I met you, the boss. You sponsored my schooling, and I had good grades. I skipped a grade in a short time and showed my ability. She saw that I might have a bright future and return to China, so she told me her life story so that I could be mentally prepared in advance..."
Speaking of this.
Tang Xun's breathing became heavier and his eyes became redder.
"It was at that time that she began to tell me that my mother and I had let Madam Fang down, that the mistakes she had made could not be made up for, and she hoped that I could repay her. She also hoped that after I returned to China, I could take care of the Fang brothers to the best of my ability."
"I can understand that, so I listened to her and paid close attention to the Fang brothers over the years. But after I found out that Fang Qianhao was being cultivated by the family, I stopped paying attention to Fang Qianhao and focused on Ziyang, who was more worrying..."
Although the relationship between many wealthy families' legitimate children and illegitimate children is as hostile as fire and water.
However, because of the influence of his mother, he always felt that they were the ones who had let Mrs. Fang down. He always felt inferior and guilty about his status as an illegitimate child. He unilaterally developed some brotherly feelings for the Fang brothers.
Later, when he found out that Fang Ziyang was being flattered, he felt even more sorry for his younger brother because they were both children who were not loved by their father.
However.
However, now someone told him that he and Fang Ziyang were actually brothers from the same father and mother, and he was the legitimate eldest master of the Fang family. Everything he thought about his 'life experience' might be bullshit!
Tang Xun really found it hard to accept, as if the whole world had collapsed.
"Tell me, if this is all true, am I a big fool? I actually watched my brother become a waste, and I was very satisfied that I protected him well... I was actually filial to my biological mother's rival..."
"She must know! She must know that Fang Qianhao and I have swapped identities! She doesn't want me to be nice to Fang's brothers, but to be nice to Fang Qianhao! She tricked me like a fool, took away my identity and still wants me to be nice to her own son!"
Tang Xun was furious.
"No wonder, no wonder even though I respect her, I can't feel the kind of closeness between mother and son. I originally thought that I was so cold and heartless because I was so much like Fang Yandong, but it turned out to be Zheng Yaxue's lies!"
He didn't want to speculate like this, but all the doubts pointed to this cruel truth, forcing him to think so.
Xie Zheng and Rick were also shocked by this inference and their chests were heaving with anger.
If Tang Xun's inferences are all true, then Zheng Yaxue is really too much and too disgusting!
Did she think she was kind now that she left Fang Yandong?
If Zheng Yaxue really had self-knowledge, she should not have gone back to being Fang Yandong's lover after they broke up; if she really felt guilty towards Fang's wife, she should not have selfishly watched the two children being swapped.
If she really had a conscience, she should not brainwash Tang Xun, making him bear the guilt and inferiority complex since childhood, and forcing him to be nice to her own son when he grows up!
"Fuck! I'm going to kill her!"
Rick was so angry that he smashed the cup on the table and stood up, angry enough to want to kill someone.
Xie Zheng grabbed his arm and stopped him in a deep voice.
"Calm down Rick! There's still a problem with this matter that needs to be figured out before we can do anything."
"What's the problem?"
"I'll say it again. If Zheng Yaxue knew all this, then why did she choose to separate from her son and run away to live a miserable life abroad, even though she knew Fang Yandong had deep feelings for her, instead of marrying directly into the Fang family after Madam Fang passed away?"
"This doesn't conform to normal human behavior logic. Either Zheng Yaxue is really kind and willing to withdraw, or... there is some important and compelling reason behind this."
Obviously, Zheng Yaxue could not be the former.
Tang Xun clenched his fist.
Rick also calmed down and narrowed his eyes. "I will contact Country M to investigate immediately."
"Then I will be in charge of the domestic Fang family."
Xie Zheng’s eyes were equally sharp.
