Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Number One at Faking!_1

"Are you kidding? Won’t this expose everything?"

Du Musheng was stunned.

Although according to his age, it was entirely possible for him to be Old Master Du’s illegitimate son.

"Expose? After you look through this information, you won’t think so."

Xiao Chen said indifferently, "Your current mother is actually your adoptive mother, right?"

"You investigated me?"

Du Musheng frowned and said.

"That’s right, I did investigate you, to perfectly position you as the Du Family Patriarch.

Old Master Du is getting on in years, and sooner or later he will have to hand over his power. To avoid innocent people getting hurt or killed, this is why I am doing this.

Otherwise, what joy would there be in me going to the Du Family alone to settle the score?"

Xiao Chen said, "You only have today to memorize this information; tomorrow is Old Master Du’s birthday celebration.

I’ve prepared the gift for you.

Resolving the Du Family peacefully is probably also your wish, after all, they have given you opportunities."

"Alright, I’ll cooperate with you, let’s play this big game. If it really succeeds, you’ll be the greatest benefactor of my life, Du Musheng."

Du Musheng bowed with his hands clasped together.

Xiao Chen secretly smiled.

A benefactor?

He didn’t care for such a title; what he wanted was control over the Du Family!

If Du Musheng obeys, well and good; if he doesn’t, Xiao Chen could always replace him as the Du Family Patriarch.

However, there was no need to voice this now.

After all, so far, the cooperation with Du Musheng had been quite pleasant.

The next day, when Xiao Chen and Du Musheng arrived at the Du Family’s place, it was already very lively.

Relatives and friends from the rest of the family clans were all present.

"Du Musheng, as the head of the Du Family’s security team, how come you are so late!"

"You’ve become more and more unreasonable. If it weren’t for the Du Family, would you be where you are today?"

These people completely treated Du Musheng as a servant, a lackey, a nobody.

This attitude made Du Musheng even angrier and more eager to take over the Du Family.

Once he became the Family Head, he’d see who would dare to speak out of turn.

So, he took out that document.

Handed it to Old Master Du.

"What’s this?"

Old Master Du was somewhat puzzled.

"You’ll know once you look at it."

At this moment, Du Musheng was a bit nervous. He was worried about being exposed because if he were, it would be the end of him.

He knew full well the terror of the Du Family.

But at this point, he still decided to trust Xiao Chen.

To take a gamble.

The result was much better than he had anticipated.

After Old Master Du reviewed the information, he actually burst into tears.

He immediately embraced Du Musheng.

"My son, how is your mother doing?"

"My mother passed away when I was very young. Before she died, she was constantly thinking of recognizing you as family.

Unfortunately, it was not until now that I finally gathered all the documents that could prove my identity.

After all, this is the Du Family, where one misstep could have cost me my life."

Du Musheng was mentally strong.

He recited the lines according to Xiao Chen’s script.

"My child, you are so pitiful. Your mother was kind to me, how could I not acknowledge you?

Come, let your father have a good look at you!"

Old Master Du scrutinized Du Musheng, feeling more and more that Du Musheng bore a resemblance to himself.

Appearances are born from the heart.

Once someone cultivates a certain thought, naturally they begin to see more and more proof of it.

This scene, however, confused everyone else from the Du Family present.

Wasn’t this supposed to be a joyous birthday celebration, and now it turned into a family recognition?

"Du Musheng, what are you trying to pull off by falsely claiming kinship?"

Someone seated became angry.

This person was none other than Old Master Du’s grandson, Du Bin.

The one who had met Xiao Chen before.

"Shut up!"

Old Master Du glared at Du Bin. Whether it was true or false, he would not allow anyone to cause a scene at the birthday celebration.

Even if it meant conducting a thorough investigation afterward.

Du Bin opened his mouth but ultimately did not say anything.

"Old Master."

"What did you call me?"

"Father!"

Du Musheng indeed knew how to play along, pulling out the gift Xiao Chen had prepared.

It was a rock, a very ordinary-looking rock.

It might not have seemed special to others, but Old Master Du revealed a surprised expression.

Because this rock was the very one he had given to that woman back in the day.

This item could not be fake—there were traces he had left on it.

Du Bin sneered, "To give Grandfather a gift, and you bring a rock? Utterly ridiculous!

Even if you are Grandfather’s son, you should take more care when presenting a gift.

Like the way I do!"

As he spoke, Du Bin took out an exquisite piece of porcelain, clearly valuable.

Compared to Du Musheng’s rock, it dazzled the audience as soon as it was unveiled.

"Do you know what this is? This is a ’gemstone Lingzhi bonsai’, from the Qing Palace!

The bowl is made from yellow jade and is round-shaped, with thin walls, straight borders, a tapered body, and a small ring base.

Inside the bowl, a dyed green partition imitating soil is set, on which Lingzhi, ornamental rocks, and plant leaves are arranged.

There are two wooden Lingzhi trees, coated in gold lacquer, with segmented branches, and round supports at the tips.

Mounted on the supports are various gemstones carved into the shape of Lingzhi heads, including jade, yellow jade, jadeite, agate, tourmaline, amethyst, amber, coral, and lapis lazuli, varying in size, with different textures and a multitude of colors.

Beneath them are white jade carved ornamental rocks, wooden leaves embellished with kingfisher feathers, and cut-out Lingzhi silhouettes, exhibiting shades of blue and green.

This scenery employs a variety of gemstones to convey the theme of Lingzhi, representing the auspicious message of longevity. It’s delicate and adorable, and fully demonstrates the extravagant beauty of imperial court bonsais.

Its worth no less than five million."

Du Bin stated, proud of himself.

It was something he had managed to acquire through a friend, and it hadn’t been easy.

"Indeed, very impressive. I, accustomed to living in hardship, don’t have the means like you do,"

Du Musheng said indifferently.

"Don’t say you don’t have the money; in the end, it’s about not having the heart.

Even buying a bouquet of flowers would be better than a rock.

Your gesture simply shows no respect for Old Master Du!"

Du Bin had always had an attitude towards Du Musheng.

Now, all of a sudden, Du Musheng had become his uncle, which was unacceptable to him. Naturally, he wanted to suppress Du Musheng fiercely.

To make sure Du Musheng understood his place in the family.

"Ultimately, who doesn’t have the heart?"

Xiao Chen said lightly, "At least Boss Musheng brought something Old Master Du truly wanted to see.

And you? Bringing something likely produced by some chemical factory, who knows how much formaldehyde toxin it contains.

You’re not good at putting your heart into things, but you rank first in creating fakes.

Yet, even in fakery you should put your heart into it— the paint you used is nowhere near authentic.

Don’t tell me such chemical products existed during the Qing dynasty.

And also, I’m not sure if you’ve been to the Forbidden City, but a similar item is treasured there. I guess you haven’t visited, otherwise, you wouldn’t present such an inferior imitation.

It doesn’t even qualify as a high-grade fake."

His words silenced the crowd. There were those who had laughed at Du Musheng, curious to see how he would walk away from the situation.

Unexpectedly, the moment this young man spoke, he had put Du Bin on the gallows.

"You! You’re talking nonsense! How could it be! How would I ever harm my grandfather!

I was deceived too!"

In his panic, Du Bin quickly tried to defend himself.

"Heh."

Xiao Chen gave a small laugh and said, "Whether you were tricked or did it intentionally, that’s none of my business.

I’m just speaking a fair word as Mr. Du’s bodyguard."
