Just as Zhao Chen was about to set off back to Shanghai, he received another invitation from the Zhao family.
However, this time it was really serious, because he also saw the announcements published by the Zhao family in the newspaper and online.
The Zhao family openly and directly removed Zhao Lixuan and Zhao Tianqi from their list of names.
Furthermore, it confirms the fact that Zhao Tianqi is a fake.
This immediately caused an uproar in the upper echelons of society.
No one expected that the Zhao family would actually have the courage to speak out about all of this in front of everyone.
Moreover, and most importantly, the Zhao family has clearly stated that their prodigy has been found and they are just waiting for this flesh and blood to be recognized by their ancestors.
As for why Zhao Lixuan, who was originally the most favored, was kicked out of the family, the Zhao family has explained it very clearly.
She was unable to distinguish right from wrong, friend from foe, and would rather adopt the son of her enemy than acknowledge her own son.
The Zhao family has no daughter like that, and will not have any connection with Zhao Lixuan.
This news naturally made the Zhao family famous throughout the capital's social circles.
The Zhao family completely disregarded their own reputation and were determined to bring their biological son, the real young master, back home.
And they just abandoned the adopted son they had raised for eighteen years. Just how capable is their Zhao family's biological grandson?
At this moment, a group of high-ranking officials were very curious.
Of course, some people started to get nervous.
Because the Zhao family learned of the schemes devised by certain individuals back then, and their plans were completely thwarted.
No one expected that Old Master Zhao would be so decisive and quick to make such a decision.
As for Zhao's grandson, who has been wandering outside for many years, it is unknown whether he is a prodigy or a useless son.
However, most people felt that the possibility of him being a useless child was much greater.
After all, even with such a good environment and resources provided by the Zhao family, Zhao Tianqi was still spoiled. This shows that the Zhao family's education wasn't very good either.
What resources could that kid who's been wandering outside possibly have?
They were probably raised like orphans, and it was already a miracle that they survived.
Thinking of this, the group of people who had previously plotted the substitution of the crown prince couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, regardless of the circumstances, they still need to keep an eye on the Zhao family's affairs.
After all these years, the Zhao family has accumulated a very strong amount of capital.
The Zhao family is not to be underestimated now; among the many families in the upper echelons, they are a very powerful force.
It can be said that as long as the two pillars of the Zhao family do not fall, the Zhao family will remain as stable as Mount Tai for many years to come.
Although Zhao Qiye is over sixty years old and about to turn seventy, he is in good health and full of energy. Moreover, everyone knows that the old man Zhao is a very strong and powerful martial artist.
Even at this age, he can still fight on par with young special forces soldiers.
This is the power of the Zhao family bloodline.
Of the Zhao family's three promising talents, two died and one was crippled. This gave the Zhao family's rivals an opportunity to counterattack.
It's unknown whether this newly found descendant of the Zhao family will inherit the family's powerful physique, so everyone is paying close attention.
At this time, Zhao Chen also learned about the Zhao family's attitude, so he seemed less resistant to meeting the Zhao family than before.
Before leaving the capital, Zhao Chen received an invitation from Shen Baichuan.
He knew that the other two men in the Zhao family also wanted to see him.
With Grandpa Zhao's attitude, his biological father and the legendary third uncle also seemed to be actively welcoming him home, which made Zhao Chen feel the long-lost warmth of family.
This is completely different from the Zhao family in Shanghai.
This is the deep bond between father and son, bound by blood; they are his true blood relatives.
Blood ties are sometimes so magical; they don't need much explanation or reason, they are the bond that brings a group of true relatives together.
So, before leaving, Zhao Chen agreed.
Feng Junhua was different from when he last saw Zhao Chen. Last time, he didn't dare to talk to Zhao Chen and could only watch his son quietly from a distance.
Now, he can finally communicate with Zhao Chen face to face.
Zhao Chen felt a little awkward when the two met for the first time.
Feng Junhua was so enthusiastic that he immediately gave Zhao Chen a big hug.
This made Zhao Chen, who had always been a loner, feel a little uncomfortable.
“My child, I am your biological father. Do you know how excited and thrilled I was when I found out you were my son?”
"You truly deserve to be a member of the Zhao family, and to be my son, Feng Junhua. You've done a wonderful job, you're outstanding! I'm so proud of you!"
"You have exceeded our imagination and expectations. You have achieved such good results without any help from anyone. This is something we never expected before."
"The Zhao family has wronged you and owes you a lot. Now we just hope you can return soon so that we can have the opportunity to make it up to you."
"Whatever choice you make, I am willing to support you and give you everything you deserve."
Upon hearing Feng Junhua's words, Zhao Chen scratched his head innocently.
In fact, he never imagined that the Zhao family would stand by him so resolutely and firmly.
He thought the two sides would argue back and forth intensely.
After all, they've raised a child for eighteen years; they're bound to have feelings for him. How can they just abandon him like that?
Of course, Zhao Tianqi was indeed a nobody, and he was prepared to kill him right from the start.
If this guy could openly take him back and tell him, Zhao Chen wouldn't look down on him so much.
Even if you confront him using legitimate means, Zhao Chen won't say much.
But this guy came up without saying anything, just wanted to kill him. Zhao Chen naturally didn't hesitate and knocked him down!
Zhao Tianqi should feel fortunate now, as he was stopped and driven away by the Zhao family before he could even make a move.
Otherwise, Zhao Tianqi will face an even fiercer counterattack.
Now Zhao Chen won't say much more; he'll act when the time is right.
Although Zhao Tianqi failed and didn't have time to do anything too outrageous to him.
Even though all the orders he sent out and the subordinates he dispatched have now been withdrawn by the Zhao family.
This includes some arrangements made by Sun Zhilong, a local bigwig in Shanghai.
Sun Zhilong was also sweating profusely. He was so frightened by the sudden order from the head of the Zhao family that he almost collapsed.
As for that Zhao Tianqi, he turned out to be a fake. Information was less readily available back then, not as developed as in later years, so Sun Zhilong hadn't received any news about the farce in the capital.
Actually, he'll find out eventually, but by then, he might already be helping Zhao Tianqi take action against Zhao Chen.
If that were the case, he would be in a hopeless situation.
Now that all orders have been withdrawn, Zhao Chen is naturally safe and sound.
Faced with Feng Junhua's enthusiasm, Zhao Chen simply smiled awkwardly.
“Mr. Feng, if I may be frank, I haven’t figured out the truth of the matter yet. I will use my own strength to find out the truth.”
"If it's confirmed that we are indeed father and son, then we can talk about the rest later."
Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Feng Junhua was slightly disappointed, but he could understand and would respect Zhao Chen's choice even more.
However, Zhao Qilong, the third uncle standing beside him, couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"See, I told you this kid doesn't like to take advantage of others, didn't I? I'm pretty good at judging people."
