Chapter 844: Chapter 844 "Lang

Uncle Zhao softened.

He had been married, but his wife disliked his disability and poverty, and left shortly after.

Since then, no one else ever appeared in his home.

Only an old ox and an old sheep were left.

Faced with the boy’s warm embrace, he hesitated, for the first time harboring selfish thoughts.

Afterward, he quietly left Chixia Village with the boy overnight, returning only half a month later, telling everyone that the boy was the son left to him by his ex-wife.

The boy didn’t remember his own name.

Uncle Zhao wasn’t very educated either, thinking back to when he first found the boy, just as the sun was rising over the wall, he named him "Lang".

He hoped that like the rising sun, he could lead a bright and open life.

In the years that followed, they leaned on each other.

Although the days were poor, they were peaceful and happy.

Even though he knew the boy’s background might not be simple, he still treated him as his own son.

But unexpectedly, the time for separation came so quickly.

On the day he sent him away, he stood on the hill for a long time.

Until the sun completely set.

He wiped away a drop of murky tear from the corner of his eye and packed up to leave Chixia Village.

Though it was the place he had lived all his life, he was willing to sacrifice everything to keep the boy’s true identity secret.

Upon learning that someone might investigate, he couldn’t sleep for several nights out of anxiety.

Even though those taking care of him told him that Young Master Gu would handle everything, he still couldn’t feel at ease.

So he quietly slipped away, returning to Chixia Village.

He had been his son for over ten years, and he had fulfilled the duties of a son for over ten years. He had to do something for him before his life reached its end, didn’t he?

Fortunately.

He really did it.

These old bones were still a bit useful.

Looking at the man in front of him, somewhat unfamiliar yet very familiar, Uncle Zhao’s eyes started to moisten again.

Everyone else called him "Gu Yu", "Young Master Gu", treating him with immense respect, second only to one.

But in his eyes, he always remained the rural young man, who fainted from exhaustion after working a day and a night in the fields out of concern for him, his son, Zhao Lang.

Zhao Lang saw it in his eyes.

In his heart, there was no difference between Uncle Zhao and his biological father.

When he was in Chixia Village, he couldn’t bear to let him work, and now that he became Gu Yu, he wished even more to protect him well and let him enjoy his later years in peace.

Yet he hadn’t anticipated that because of Gu Qiang, he would be driven to such lengths.

What if something went wrong in the process....

He would never forgive himself for a lifetime.

At this moment, his hatred for Gu Qiang reached its peak.

But he concealed it well on the surface, simply letting go of the armrest that had long been drenched in his sweat and stood up.

Jiang Li, understanding his spirit, motioned to Yu Fei to take Uncle Zhao aside to settle him.

In this way, Zhao Lang should have no further worries.

Zhao Lang, with a stern face, walked over to Gu Qiang.

"I originally wanted to maintain some degree of respect for you in front of outsiders and call you Aunt, but you don’t seem at all worthy of me addressing you as Aunt."

His tone was mild, yet it was enough to make Gu Qiang tremble.

She forced a calm cold laugh, "Who is your aunt? Don’t call me randomly!"

"Indeed, you really are not my aunt."

Gu Qiang’s expression stiffened slightly, then she laughed again, "Do you really think I have no evidence?"

She turned to look at the elderly lady.

"Mom and Dad, I didn’t originally want to present this in front of everyone, but as you can see, I was compelled."

With that, she pulled a document from her bag.

"I wouldn’t be so bold without concrete evidence. Before coming today, I already had a paternity test done between Uncle Zhao and Zhao Lang. Look at the result, it shows a 99.9% match rate!"

The document was slapped onto the table by Gu Qiang, the elderly lady and Gu Shengrong didn’t move, but Rong Junsheng couldn’t help himself, saying, "Let me take a look," and then stepped forward to open the document.

The result inside greatly shocked him—

There was indeed a blood relation!

Could it be that this Gu Yu is truly an impostor?!

Zhao Lang calmly stepped forward and took the document, "Are you sure this is real?"

"Of course I’m sure," Gu Qiang insisted, "There’s the hospital’s seal on it!"

Zhao Lang coldly chuckled, "Who knows if there’s any trickery behind the scenes?"

"Is that so? Since you’re so doubtful, how about conducting another test?"

"Alright." Zhao Lang agreed in one go.

Gu Qiang, however, became somewhat suspicious.

Why wasn’t he anxious at all?

Had he already prepared in advance?

In that case, she had better plan carefully herself.

With this thought, she looked at Rong Junsheng.

"Mr. Rong, you all should know someone capable of conducting such tests at home, right? To be fair, why don’t you handle this proof?"

Rong Junsheng was deeply strategical, not easily siding with anyone.

In situations like this, he certainly wouldn’t only help one side.

Finding him was the safest bet.

Rong Junsheng thought for a moment and didn’t decline.

"Indeed, I know someone in the testing department, finding him for such a test could get you results within two hours. If that’s the case, I’ll contact him now."

Gu Qiang crossed her arms, "Of course, it’s urgent because it concerns the bloodline of the Gu family, it mustn’t go awry."

Saying this, she secretly observed Zhao Lang’s expression.

The other party knitted his brows slightly, then turned and returned to his seat.

Gu Qiang felt a burst of pride.

Finally feeling a bit anxious, huh?

Soon, the person contacted by Rong Junsheng arrived with the tools and extracted blood and hair follicle samples from Zhao Lang and Uncle Zhao on the spot.

As he was about to leave, Zhao Lang stopped him.

"Doctor, could you please also take a sample from Grandpa as well? Let’s conduct a test together, so the result will be clearer."

With these words, Jiang Li comprehended the situation at hand.

That paternity test report was indeed problematic, but Gu Qiang hadn’t engaged in fraud—after all, she appeared completely calm and even confident.

But about Zhao Lang, it was uncertain.

The old fox probably wanted to use Gu Qiang’s hand to finally resolve the mystery of his identity and silence the rumors outside, once and for all, huh?

Since his appearance, the gossips about him outside had been relentless.

Gu Qiang could get samples from Uncle Zhao and him, but definitely not from the old man.

He only needed to bribe a hospital close to her beforehand, telling them that no matter what samples Gu Qiang brought, to ensure the result showed a 99.9% parentage relationship.

After that, he merely needed to wait for a suitable moment, letting Gu Qiang make a big fuss, then he could use her hand to indirectly clear his name.

Come to think of it, this request of hers might actually be helping him along.

Considering how smart he is, how did she not notice back when they were in Chixia Village?

Truly a great actor!
