Chapter 96: Fortunately I Have You, Yaoyao
Tong Chen was not Yin Chen.
So why did Jiang Lian lie to the outside world, letting the former take over the latter’s identity as the child who was sold to pay off gambling debts and had remained missing ever since?
Unless… Tong Chen’s true identity was something that couldn’t be shown to the light!
Combining this with what Xi Yun had said—that Tong Chen’s biological father was Jiang Lian’s second husband—the truth became clear.
Le Can suddenly opened his eyes wide, his brow furrowing and then relaxing. Once he found the end of the messy ball of yarn, it was easy to unravel the rest.
“How old is Tong Chen, really?”
In the photo Gao Dan had handed over, the person lying on the hospital bed was a thin youth. He was frail—the kind of thin where even under a quilt, one couldn’t see much of a silhouette.
Similarly, his face was very young, possessing a sickly pallor from years of being away from the sun. When Le Can first saw it, he had even marveled in his heart that the person was already twenty-four years old.
Now it seemed that Tong Chen’s true age was definitely not twenty-four.
Xi Yun recalled the document he had seen, his eyes full of tenderness as he “watched” the youth on the screen, whose hair had a small tuft sticking up.
“In about a month and a half, he’ll be twenty.”
Since his X-ray vision had spread out uncontrollably, and Xi Yun had failed in his attempts to restrain it, he simply stopped suppressing it. He allowed his gaze to penetrate the silk ribbon, staring intently at his lover on the screen whom he hadn’t seen for days.
His gaze moved downward to a place Le Can couldn’t see. Xi Yun rotated his wrist, which was sore and swollen from constantly absorbing the special energy from the jade, and after a short rest, he continued to supplement his energy frantically.
That white silk ribbon tied between Xi Yun’s brows—intended to remind him not to overuse his eyes and abilities, a ban he had set upon himself—had long since become a mere decoration…
Le Can, unaware of Xi Yun’s abnormality, let out a cynical laugh.
“Nineteen and twenty-four, a five-year difference. I remember Yin Chen was also five when he was sent away, right?”
Back then, exactly one week after Yin Chen was sold, the elder Yin, unable to resist his gambling addiction, lost the lump sum of money he had just received.
Meanwhile, Jiang Lian, the mother of Yin Wuyu and Yin Chen, used the excuse of the child being sent away to suddenly explode, insisting on a divorce.
A delayed explosion by one week, a large divorce settlement of unknown origin, and a heartbroken eldest son left behind with a broken leg…
Finally, these fragmented pieces of information were linked together by Le Can, making him realize why Jiang Lian had to hide Tong Chen’s identity.
Xi Yun watched the youth, whose features were particularly vivid and intense because of his anger, and did not immediately speak.
Liang Yusheng, the gold-medal assistant who knew some of the inside story, glanced at his boss, who was blindfolded but staring at the screen in silence. He had almost guessed that his top boss was lost in a trance from staring at his wife.
He immediately took over the conversation. “Exactly. Tong Chen is the child born from the extramarital affairs of both Jiang Lian and her current husband.”
This wasn’t an honorable thing, but it shouldn’t have required faking an identity.
After all, in the beginning, the man named Tong hadn’t planned to divorce his ex-wife and marry Jiang Lian. However, he couldn’t bear to lose Jiang Lian’s gentle and submissive nature, and since she had given him a son, he kept the two of them outside.
“The news that Tong Chen was Yin Chen was released ten years ago.”
“Coincidentally, not long after, Jiang Lian brought this son of the ex-husband—who was said to have suffered all kinds of hardships and was malnourished—and married that Mr. Tong, who had recently divorced because his wife couldn’t conceive.”
One wanted to rise from a mistress to a wealthy wife, and the other, in his middle age, wanted to recognize his biological son. It was a perfect match.
To cover up the stain of their affair, they disguised Tong Chen as the recovered Yin Chen. They used that child, whose life or death was unknown, to cover their illicit deeds.
At this moment, Gao Dan’s previous sentence—”Because the current husband gave her great help in the process of finding the child, the two finally got together”—was incredibly ironic!
Le Can was furious.
He took two deep breaths, trying to calm the nameless fire surging in his chest.
It was useless after two tries. On the third, he jumped off the bed and walked back and forth on the carpeted floor with bare feet.
After two laps, Le Can stopped and looked up at the two people on the screen. “Jian Yu knows about this, doesn’t he?”
With Yin Wuyu’s personality and his attitude toward Jiang Lian, it was impossible for him not to suspect her. Therefore, Yin Wuyu must have gone to verify Tong Chen’s identity.
But now? Yin Wuyu, to repay Jian Yu’s kindness, helped him lure Jian Minglang to the designated location and watched as Jian Yu’s people pushed him into the water.
In other words, Yin Wuyu had been kept in the dark from beginning to end.
Jiang Lian, and even the gradually declining Tong family, didn’t have such great power. The only one capable of doing this and making Yin Wuyu believe it was Jian Yu.
Back then, outside the Suihe’an International Hospital, Le Can had been sized up by Jiang Lian from a distance. At that time, he had found her gaze strange. It was likely that the things Gao Dan investigated later had already had their key information erased by Jian Yu…
“Jian Yu is truly calculating.”
Le Can clenched his fists, his teeth itching with irritation. He hadn’t just calculated against Yin Wuyu; he had calculated against him as well.
Xi Yun didn’t miss the expression of the furious youth. He suddenly spoke:
“After Xie Jun investigated these things, in addition to sending us a copy of the materials, she personally went to find Yin Wuyu…”
Le Can’s attention was instantly drawn away. He ran back and pressed his face close to the phone screen.
“And then?”
Xie Jun shouldn’t be so lovestruck as to lose her mind. What would she do?
Xi Yun didn’t rush to answer, but instead gave a gentle instruction: “Be good, drink some water first.”
Speaking of drinking water, Le Can, who had been asking questions nonstop, realized the dryness in his mouth and throat. He coughed lightly, his ears heating up, and reached out to pour himself a cup of water, pretending to be unhurried.
The water was warm, just the right temperature. It had been specially delivered by someone on the day Le Can checked into the hotel.
After gulping down half a glass, Le Can’t hand holding the glass hadn’t even come down before his inquisitive eyes turned toward the screen.
Before he could ask “And then?” again, Xi Yun spoke once more.
“Drink a little more,” he paused, then added, “Drink slowly.”
Le Can’s hand, which was slowly lowering, rose again. The cup was brought to his lips, and while he took small sips, he stared at the speaker with his amber eyes wide open.
This time, Xi Yun didn’t make Le Can continue drinking water.
“Xie Jun went to find Yin Wuyu only because she wanted to give her past self an answer.”
To personally put a full stop to a relationship that was destined to come to nothing.
After Yin Wuyu personally admitted that all his actions were voluntary, this successor of the Xie family threw the investigated materials at him and left cleanly.
No nonsense, no lingering.
Perhaps a single tear witnessed the passing of a relationship, but it was quickly wiped away, as if it had never come into this world.
After listening, Le Can slowly sat down on the nearby sofa.
In the original story where he didn’t interfere, the ones who fell into the sea together should have been Jian Minglang and Yuan Cheng. Le Can wasn’t clear about Jian Minglang’s fate, but Yuan Cheng survived yet lost half his life.
Le Can knew this, and Xi Yun, who possessed mind-reading abilities, also knew it. However, the two had no intention of telling the original storyline to Xie Jun.
Yuan Cheng was alive and well, and Le Can was also living fine. Telling her about things that hadn’t happened and for which there was no evidence would only add unnecessary trouble and guilt.
These things were for Yin Wuyu and Jian Yu to repay.
It shouldn’t, and wouldn’t, be Xie Jun.
Le Can leaned back against the sofa, looked up at the man in the phone, and suddenly let out a light laugh.
“Xi Yun, I’ve fulfilled my promise to you.”
Yuan Cheng and Xie Jun, these two people who stood by Xi Yun’s side in the original story. In the end, one lived in seclusion in a remote forest after becoming disabled, and the other supported the Xie family alone after leaving in guilt.
Under the flapping of his butterfly wings as a transmigrator, one had kept his life, and the other remained as passionate and steadfast as ever. The two of them would also accompany Xi Yun well in the future…
What promise?
Liang Yusheng, listening in, was confused.
Xi Yun, who also wasn’t quite clear, had a faint realization in his heart. He gave a soft and solemn “mm,” his hand holding the jade clenching and then loosening.
“Yes. Fortunately I have you, Yaoyao.”
And fortunately, you are perfectly fine.
Some people are like that; they don’t feel embarrassed when asking for praise, but when they actually receive it, their skin suddenly becomes thin.
Coincidentally, Le Can was such a person.
While modestly waving his hand, he busily poured himself another glass of water and gulped it down. “It’s okay, it’s okay.”
The matter with Yin Wuyu was settled. As for what he would do next, it had nothing to do with Le Can.
Le Can would convey these circumstances to Jian Minglang, the one truly betrayed by the other party. He wouldn’t interfere in how the two of them settled their grievances.
Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Le Can didn’t care about a puppet-like tool, but he could never let his true debtor go!
“Did you guys find out the reason for Jian Yu’s madness starting from Yin Wuyu’s side?”
Xie Jun investigating Yin Wuyu wasn’t just to cut off her feelings. It was more about following the clues to explore the information about the person behind him—Jian Yu.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the screen, and Le Can guessed the answer. “No?”
Liang Yusheng added: “Jian Yu doesn’t trust Yin Wuyu; we didn’t get any useful information from him.”
Le Can wasn’t surprised. “What about Jiang Lian?”
Did Jiang Lian, who joined forces with him to hide and deceive Yin Wuyu, know anything? But on second thought, a low-level pawn like Jiang Lian could never come into contact with deeper things.
“Forget Jiang Lian. Did the Jian family side find anything?”
Liang Yusheng pushed his glasses up. “This is exactly what I’m about to report to Mr. Le and the Boss.”
Le Can and Xi Yun stopped their movements and frowned in unison. Xi Yun’s index finger tapped twice on the wheelchair armrest, then stopped. “Speak.”
Liang Yusheng looked down and swiped through the information on his tablet. After confirming that no new information had popped up in the short term, he looked up and said:
“New information just came in. The lawyer who was previously in charge of the Jian family’s will moved his entire family abroad shortly after the will was officially read three years ago.”
“However…” Liang Yusheng’s voice became extremely cold, “a friend of Mr. Ben Nelson investigated and found that this lawyer’s family died in a home invasion robbery as early as two years ago.”
Not only were they gone, but the grass on their graves was already three meters high.
Therefore, they suspected that Jian Yu had bribed the lawyer and, to avoid further trouble, had someone take out the witness.
Le Can’s brow lowered, a dangerous cold light flashing in his eyes.
“In other words, there’s something suspicious about the Jian family’s will?”
