Chapter 1088: Chapter 731 The So-Called Truth (Third Update)

Looking at Jing Chen, it seemed like Tang Miao had taken Jing Chen’s words to heart.

As for Mu Lin, he leisurely sat down, completely relaxed, just calmly sitting there, his body leaning casually on the sofa—listening to a story.

Mu Lin had not expected Jing Chen to have dug out even Mi Zheng’s background!

She truly was worthy of being his grandpa!

As for Jing Chen, after casually issuing that warning, he no longer paid attention to Tang Miao, whose face had not turned pale from start to finish, and turned to look at Mi Zheng.

"The truth is you weren’t picked up by Tang Miao, but rather he... stole you."

Pupils constricted at that moment.

...

Elsewhere, as Mu Lin and Jing Chen infiltrated deep into enemy territory, Ying Sun’s people certainly weren’t idle either.

"Looks like the guards on this island are actually quite numerous." Looking at each and every spot on the satellite, the number of spots represented how many guards there were in each location.

Tsk tsk tsk, even more stringent than their military unit.

"Boss said that they have been ready for a while now, just waiting for us to attack." But just as they were prepared, so were we; now, it was time to show some real skill!

Now that the boss and his team were dealing with the big boss, the remaining small fry surely fell to them, right?

However, although satellite surveillance could indeed observe the guards below, it did not mean it was all-powerful; they had no confirmation whatsoever of some people inside the buildings.

This time they weren’t facing one or two enemies but possibly a whole house full—and they were all well-trained assassins!

Afterward, Black Shark took over from Jing Chen to assign the mission.

"Did everyone understand their assigned tasks?" Black Shark asked, his piercing gaze sweeping over the faces of Ying Sun’s people.

Understood!

The team made a gesture of acknowledgment; what they needed to do now was to quietly and silently take out these guards.

"Commence." Upon Black Shark’s command, the team immediately dispersed, charging swiftly towards their set targets, while inside, they had no idea that the struggle outside had already begun.

Tang Miao had no idea that all signals here had been blocked; he couldn’t receive any information from outside. Of course, Jing Chen and Mu Lin could.

And all of this proceeded in utter silence.

...

"You say I was stolen, what evidence do you have?" Mi Zheng’s gaze bore coldly into Jing Chen, "If your words are baseless slander, why should I believe you? After all, we are enemies, aren’t we."

"I have no evidence," Jing Chen replied. "I suppose everything you know must have been told to you by Tang Miao, right, when you were six."

Mi Zheng didn’t speak, but Jing Chen knew he had hit the mark by looking into his eyes.

"Tang Miao must have told you that you are not the child of the Mi family. I imagine you must have doubted this and gone... to confirm it." Jing Chen had heard from the Gong family elder that Mi Zheng had changed from a mature yet cheerful child into a silent yet obedient one after turning six.

Everything must have started from there, as Tang Miao would have gone to see him by that time.

"So what if that’s true," Mi Zheng snorted coldly.

From a young age, Mi Zheng had been precocious; he was different from other children and his desires had always been simple—to live life leisurely with his family.

Even though the Mi family’s elder didn’t pay much attention to him; the Mi family’s children basically grew up in a free-range manner, neither the Family Head nor the parents would require them to do anything specific.

Yet unexpectedly, because of Tang Miao, everything in his life turned upside down when he was just six years old.

He did check; he got his mother’s blood, and blood testing for kinship, a method he had heard about from Gong Yu; children would not know about blood tests for kinship, but Gong Yu was different. She was from the Gong family, a lineage of Chinese Medicine practitioners, although Gong Yu disliked studying medicine, she was still forced to learn some.

The conclusion Mi Zheng reached from the blood kinship test was that... he was not his mother’s son at all.

From that moment, he believed Tang Miao’s words and gradually, while other children were still playing and studying happily, he began his training.

Until he grew up; the once Mi Zheng had completely turned into another person, one so different that even he felt like a stranger to himself!

Tang Miao had said that he was an orphan he had picked up, and he had taken the Tang family’s child away and switched him.

And so, he became the sharpest claw in his hand, step by step until now.

It was not until he met Mu Lin that Mi Zheng felt an unusual sensation towards an ordinary person; it was a feeling quite foreign to him, an interest. At first, he thought it was merely interest, and his possessiveness over Mu Lin.

In fact, treating Mu Lin that way was just to attract her attention; after all, she never seemed to notice him.

It was only two years ago that Mi Zheng finally understood what was in his heart; alas, what use was it?

Jing Chen looked at him, "Do you want to know what your last name should be?" Without acknowledging his emotions, Jing Chen continued calmly.

"What last name?" His voice sounded indifferent; what else could his last name be? Perhaps he was just some child that Tang Miao had picked up from somewhere. These things no longer mattered to him.

"Your last name is—Quan!"

For everyone, Jing Chen’s words were like a bolt from the blue.

"What did you say!" Quan? Could it be... "Are you talking about the reclusive Quan Family?" That’s impossible!

Mu Lin looked at Mi Zheng, "Is he Quan Luo’s... brother?" No way! That would mean Quan Luo’s current brother is the real member of the Mi Family!

This was truly... complicated!

Mu Lin had always thought that her own background was complex enough, yet she did not expect Mi Zheng’s, and... Could it be that the children at home weren’t all biological?

Mu Lin couldn’t help but think this.

Jing Chen nodded, still looking at Mi Zheng, "Linlin is right, and I also had Gong Yu help me take one of Quan Luo’s hairs for DNA comparison with yours. The identification result is..."

"What is it!" Mi Zheng couldn’t help but ask.

"You are biological siblings!" While speaking, Jing Chen took a paper out of his pocket and handed it over, "This is the comparison result, see for yourself."

Mi Zheng took it without hesitation.

Reading the words that the probability of being siblings was ninety-nine percent on the paper, he became completely stunned.

This... How is that possible!

"You should know yourself that you and Quan Family’s Quan Yan were born on the same year, same month, same day." Hence, you were so restless.

Mu Lin looked at Jing Chen, "If Mi Zheng is a member of the Quan Family, then isn’t Quan Luo’s older brother also..." like Mi Zheng, used by Tang Miao.

Jing Chen shook his head, "Not so; in fact, I talked with Quan Yan. He mentioned that when he was young, someone also approached him about his origins, but he chose not to believe it; only when he grew up did he realize that he indeed was not the Quan Family’s biological child. The Family Head of the Quan Family also became aware of this a few years ago. He didn’t mind his origins, but the people of the Quan Family... have always been looking for you."

Jing Chen looked at Mi Zheng, "Sometimes you really have no right to choose your birth, but the distinct lives the two of you have led are your own choices."

"None of this can be blamed on others."

If Mi Zheng had chosen not to believe like Quan Yan instead of seeking confirmation, then his outcome now would be different; thus, all this stemmed from their own decisions.

Mu Lin sighed; the upper echelons of society were indeed terrifying, who would have thought that these hidden families were like this as well!

To achieve his goals, how many outrageous things had Tang Miao done? Mu Lin believed the list went far beyond what she knew.

Should she gather everyone at the main house next time she goes back and check into things, perhaps to let them acknowledge their ancestors and return to their roots?

Ah... never mind, things are quite good as they are now.

Blood relations, sometimes what does it matter; this was never something Mu Lin valued greatly.

Clutching the test report tightly in his hand, Mi Zheng turned and looked at Tang Miao with a cold gaze, "Is what they said true?"

For some reason, even though the truth was already in his hands, Mi Zheng still wished to hear it from Tang Miao’s mouth—perhaps this was his own obsession.

"Hahaha..." Without a word, suddenly, Tang Miao broke into laughter, his sharp eyes staring directly at Jing Chen, "I didn’t expect that even these old matters could be uncovered by you, quite impressive indeed."

"I used to think Mi Zheng kept losing to you because of a woman. Now it seems I misunderstood him. You are indeed qualified to be our enemies." His gaze shifted to Mi Zheng, his expression devoid of any introspection, "The young master of the Jing Family is right, since he has already given you the evidence, there’s no more need for me to hide it."

"Besides, you’ve already believed what they’ve said, so regardless of what I say next, even if I deny it, you’ve made up your mind; since you want such truth, why shouldn’t I indulge you?" Speaking leisurely, he sighed deeply, as if there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"Compared to me, you trust outsiders more." At this point, his gaze suddenly turned to Mu Lin, "The attraction of a woman, indeed causes deep harm." There was helplessness and agony in his voice, and finally, his eyes fell on Mu Lin again, "It seems this time, I have lost to you all."
