    Chapter 56 The cycle of cause and effect, retribution.…

    Xing Zhan sat down on the sofa opposite Hu Jianguang and said calmly: “As far as I know, after the car accident twenty-three years ago, Assistant Hu’s account received a large amount of money. After that, his family went abroad. He has lived a prosperous life abroad these years.”

    Hu Jianguang’s body tensed unconsciously: “Who are you?!”

    Xing Zhan: “I don’t like to be interrupted by others.”

    He raised his hand, and the bodyguard who was standing solemnly in the corner with no sense of presence immediately stepped forward, pulled off Hu Jianguang’s wrinkled tie, tied it from Hu Jianguang’s mouth to the back of his head, and tied it neatly.

    Hu Jianguang, whose hands were tied behind his back: “…”

    He struggled dissatisfiedly.

    Xing Zhan: “If you move again, your arms and legs will be removed.”

    Bodyguard: “Yes.”

    Hu Jianguang didn’t dare to move anymore.

    When he was with An Pingchuan before, he had met many high-ranking people, but none of them gave people a great sense of danger and oppression like the man in front of him.

    Xing Zhan: “You were not the main culprit in what happened back then. If you are frank and lenient, everything will be easier to talk about. Or, do you prefer to see the foundation you have worked so hard to build come to nothing, and your beloved wife and young son turn to others? I don’t know what kind of father your child will meet in the future, and whether he will abuse him…”

    Of course, there is no need to tell the other party the truth that this child is not Hu Jianguang.

    Hu Jianguang shook his head in horror.

    He has had several wives over the years, got married again the year before last, and finally had a child last year. He cherishes this only offspring like jewels.

    Hu Jianguang confessed everything, and as the truth was revealed, An Pingchuan’s cultivation of him also came to mind.

    He felt guilty and curious: “Are you that child back then?”

    Otherwise, who would pursue this matter over more than 20 years?

    Xing Zhan looked at his watch and saw that it was time to go home and cook.

    His eyebrows softened a little unconsciously: “The little baby from twenty-three years ago has grown up. I am honored that I am his lover.”

    Hu Jianguang: “…”

    Lover?

    I don’t know what that child has grown into now, and he can actually attract such a powerful man to plan for him.

    On the way back, Xing Zhan contacted Zong Lanfeng: “Bring the person to him tomorrow, don’t let him wait.”

    Zong Lanfeng responded and couldn’t help but ask: “What’s going on?”

    Xing Zhan was silent for a long time and said: “It’s not convenient to say for now. Maybe the truth will be revealed soon.”

    This is An Yu’s family matter. Although I don’t know how long he wants to hide it, if An Yu doesn’t tell it, Xing Zhan will not tell others at will, even his best brother.

    He said: “He may have to have a long talk with Hu Jianguang to find him a quieter place to ensure his safety. Thank you.”

    To be honest, Xing Zhan felt a little frustrated.

    When An Yu took some things from An Pinghai’s study, he asked him for help. He asked Hu Jianguang for help, but it was Zong Lanfeng who asked for help.

    Maybe if I need it again, I will ask Zong Xiuyuan.

    In other words, in An Yu’s heart, his friend was on the same level as Zong Lanfeng and Zong Xiuyuan.

    This incident left no room for anger, only sadness.

    It was his fault. He had warned An Yu many times in the past not to bother him. As a smart and well-behaved person like An Yu, he would definitely keep it in his heart and not dare to go too far.

    After hearing what Xing Zhan said, Zong Lanfeng stopped asking.

    The next day he contacted An Yu and told him that he had been found: “He is in one of my private villas. It is very quiet. You can see him anytime you want.”

    An Yu: “Is it okay now?”

    Zong Lanfeng: “Of course. But the one named Hu is dishonest. I will arrange two more bodyguards for you. Or, can I accompany you there?”

    An Yu didn’t expect that Zong Lanfeng would find someone so quickly and the arrangements would be so considerate: “Thank you, just me and the bodyguards will go there.”

    Zong Lanfeng was not surprised by An Yu’s refusal.

    The more contact he had with An Yu, the more he discovered that although An Yu was not aggressive in appearance, he was actually very strong-willed. In other words, he had probably developed the habit of handling everything on his own because he had been isolated in the An family for too long.

    That afternoon, An Yu met Hu Jianguang.

    This elite assistant twenty years ago has turned into a pot-bellied middle-aged man with an untroubled look on his face and eyes, and he seems to be doing well.

    Hu Jianguang was also looking at An Yu.

    This child’s eyes are very similar to those of Mr. An back then, but his facial profile is more like Mrs. An’s. He completely combines the advantages of both of them, and he is better than his predecessor.

    An Yu didn’t waste any time talking to Hu Jianguang, and directly showed him a copy of the paternity test, saying that the matter was already settled, in order to dispel Hu Jianguang’s efforts to evade.

    He said: “My real father is Anpingchuan. The Anping guillemot has occupied the magpie’s nest for so many years, and it’s time to pay it back. After the car accident that year, he exchanged the dead babies born to me and his wife. You witnessed it with your own eyes, right?”

    After Xing Zhan’s adjustment, he was ready to go through the process according to the other party’s requirements. After being slightly coerced and induced, Hu Jianguang told the truth: “…How do you know so clearly?”

    An Yu: “…you admit it?”

    If he hadn’t known the truth a long time ago, he would have thought that Hu Jianguang had some conspiracy. If he admitted it so easily, he would not have suddenly regretted it after more than twenty years.

    Hu Jianguang, who was tied to the chair, moved his feet uncomfortably: “I don’t know what you are talking about!”

    An Yu didn’t waste any words: “As a witness in court, I can tell you who the real father of your precious son is, so that you won’t be a cuckold for the rest of your life.”

    Hu Jianguang: “…Nonsense!”

    An Yu glanced at Hu Jianguang’s point: “If it doesn’t work, it won’t work. Is it difficult to recognize the reality?”

    Hu Jianguang: “…”

    An Yu: “Testify in court, or I can tell your elderly parents directly that the Hu family’s golden grandson is someone else’s. People can’t help but be stimulated when they are old. If you are not careful…”

    Of course he would not be so sinister, but Hu Jianguang is a filial son, so this threat should work.

    I would like to thank An Shi in the original work for investigating everything about Hu Jianguang because of his guilty conscience.

    Hu Jianguang said in frustration: “I promise you, don’t tell my parents, they are older…”

    I originally thought that the scary man was deliberately trying to subdue him because An Yu was not good at negotiating, but I didn’t expect that this scary man didn’t give in too much and even pinched him.

    When An Yu left, Hu Jianguang stopped him and looked grim for a few moments before asking, “Who is the father of the child?”

    An Yu: “Your assistant.”

    Hu Jianguang: “…”

    An Yu felt unworthy of the original owner and his parents, and said coldly: “Back then, your family was poor and you had nothing to offer except academic qualifications. My parents carefully cultivated you and almost treated you like a biological brother. You can’t keep up with their good deeds, and now… the cycle of karma and retribution is unpleasant.”

    Hu Jianguang looked at An Yu, and in a trance he seemed to see the young and kind-hearted couple shedding tears of regret.

    An Yu was unmoved and left directly.

    If he really had a conscience, he would not have been bribed by money back then. The tears he sheds now are just a bit of hypocrisy after he was desperate.

    Hu Jianguang felt sad and regretted for a long time, and then he remembered that he had forgotten to ask, how could An Yu know so clearly what happened back then at such a young age? It couldn’t have been An Pinghai who told him.

    An Yu had returned to Xing’s house at this time.

    Although everything was arranged well, he was not in a good mood. Probably because the closer the truth came to light, the more he felt that An Pingchuan and his wife were worthless, and the more indignant he was for what happened to the original owner.

    Before dinner time, he wandered to the kitchen like a wandering spirit, thinking of looking for something to lighten his stomach.

    This is a habit left over from childhood in my previous life. No matter if I feel sad or encounter difficulties, as long as my stomach is full, I will feel at ease and have the courage and energy to face the world again.

    Xing Zhan, who was waiting in the living room with the cat in his arms, quickly followed him.

    An Yu was about to open the refrigerator door when suddenly there was a warmth behind him, and he fell into a warm embrace.
