Before finding the mysterious mastermind behind it all, Rong Ling needed to make new arrangements for his people. This way, by returning home, he wouldn't suddenly find himself in a passive state!
Lin Meng agreed upon hearing Rong Ling's words. Rong Ling was injured now, and Cui Liu and the others were people Rong Ling trusted. So recuperating in this almost fortress-like place wasn't a bad idea!
While the two little ones were hot on Lin Meng's heels, following her into the kitchen, Rong Ling made a phone call to China. Yu Xu was one of his contacts there.
"What's the situation like in China right now Tell me about it!"
Out of all the brothers, Yu Xu's line of work is the most shady. Amongst them, he also knows the most about Rong Ling's secrets!
Yu Xu briefly talked about the domestic situation. Basically, there weren't any major changes domestically, it was just the same old things going around. However, the biggest thing that happened recently was the incident involving Rong Qikeng and He Ya!
It is said that Mu Xinfeng was involved in a car accident. The Mu family began to relentlessly pursue the matter and tried every means possible to get rid of the child in He Ya's womb. However, the He family was a formidable opponent, possessing considerable resources and abilities. Despite their efforts, the Mu family members failed to infiltrate the He family, let alone reach He Ya. In the end, the Mu family resorted to pressuring Rong Fei Wu, who then pressured Rong Qi Keng to personally visit the He family and investigate the truth behind the child in He Ya's womb!
Rong Qinkeng was very confident in his own "innocence." How could He Ya, who had already been labeled as someone from Rong Ling's side, end up with him and even be carrying his child! He felt that his wife and the Mu family were being unreasonable. If it weren't for Mu Xinfeng nearly stepping into the underworld, he wouldn't even bother with this!
Even if I just give her some face, I'm going to He's house now!
When Rong Qikeng arrived at the He family, they certainly wouldn't push him out. Sitting in the grand hall of the He family, which exuded a hundred years of luxury, Rong Qikeng chatted idly with Old Madam He and He Ya's mother, Mrs. He, for a while, discussing some cooperation matters between the Rong family and the He family. This opening move was intended to remind the He family that now, as they were making a comeback, their Rong family, or rather he himself, had greatly helped them.
Old Mrs. He, being as shrewd as she was, naturally agreed with Rong Qikeng and showered him with praise.
At an opportune moment, Rong Qi pretended nonchalantly and casually let out a remark.
"Ma'am, I've recently heard some rumors. They say your granddaughter is pregnant, and then they say she's carrying my child. This..." He narrowed his eyes, speaking in a somewhat deep and contemplative tone.
"This isn't good!"
A wise person's words carry weight when they speak, hitting the mark in a single sentence!
Mrs. Ho was not stupid, she knew very well that it wouldn't be a simple matter for Rong Qikang to visit her three times without purpose. If he wanted to discuss business or military and political affairs, he could have approached her sons directly. The fact that he chose to come during the day today indicated that he had something specific in mind. Mrs. Ho had anticipated, with a high degree of certainty, that Rong Qikang's visit was about He Ya. However, Mrs. Ho was no fool; she wouldn't just give Rong Qikang what he wanted!
Of course not!
So, feigning surprise, she asked, "Oh! Really such rumors exist! Who did you hear that from!"
"Who said it doesn't matter," Rong Qi chuckled softly. "What matters most is that it never happened!"
After finishing, he looked at Old Mrs. He.
Old Madam He knew that Rong Qikeng was asking for her guarantee, but unfortunately, she couldn't follow Rong Qikeng's train of thought!
What happened to He Ya was exposed too early, which was beyond her expectations. It was just like she had designed a foolproof strategy to kill Mu Xinfeng, but in the end, Mu Xinfeng escaped unscathed!
Wong Kai-yin arrived earlier than expected, but with things having progressed this far, there's simply no way to delay any longer!
“My granddaughter, she's indeed pregnant. This matter, uh――” Old Mrs. He hesitated for a moment, then showed a hint of embarrassment. “Since you said so, I won't hide it from you anymore. The fact that she's pregnant, I kept it a secret.”
A chill had clearly descended upon Rong Qingen's face. It was obvious that Old Mrs. He had something more to say, and it was likely related to him.
Looking at Old Lady He with cold eyes, he didn't say a word. He wanted to see what this old lady was going to say!
Old Mrs. He was prepared for today's questions, so she wasn't flustered. Her facial expression looked genuine and sincere.
“That girl is pregnant, and I’m both angry and anxious. When I asked her about the father of the child, she wouldn’t say a word. This leaves me feeling so frustrated. The baby is growing day by day, and I wanted to force her to have an abortion first, then slowly find a chance to expose the father and give him a good scolding. But that girl, she's acting like she's possessed, protecting the child with all her might. She keeps saying that if the child were gone, she would die. That girl is headstrong, and when she says something like this, she’ll actually do it in the end. So I really have no way to deal with her, and I can't let her go out and shame us, so I've been keeping her pregnancy a secret. So, Qinkang, tell your grandmother, who told you about my girl being pregnant! I want to take this opportunity to catch that bastard!”
Hold your tongue!
The figure sitting there, cold as a statue!
Old Mrs. He suddenly chuckled.
"Things in this world don't just come out of thin air! Ah Mei --" Old Mrs. He shouted loudly. "Go and bring the girl out for me!"
When He Ya appeared, Old Madam He directly asked her a question.
"Is your child in the womb a boy!"
Straight to the point, it was a forceful attack. He Ya's face revealed a panicked expression, followed by a bite of her lip. Without a sound, she resisted and forcefully turned her face away before rushing off to one side.
But this is even more convincing than directly admitting it!
Yung Ki-hong stood up and chuckled.
"Old woman, what on earth are you doing You've completely confused me!"
Old Mrs. He didn't give her a reply, and instead glared angrily at He Ya. "Stop being so stubborn! People have come to our door, and you still won't let go. I raised you myself, and now that things have reached this point, do you really think you can hide it from me"
He Ya turned her head back, biting her lip and looking at Old Madam He. Her face was a mixture of shame and determination.
"Come on, speak up!" Old Mrs. He pounded her dragon-head cane heavily, forcing He Ya.
All of this was He Lao Tai's plan beforehand, so He Ya Yi acted accordingly without any effort.
"Yes, the child is Rong Qikeng's!" she said loudly. She looked at Rong Qikeng with a complex expression for a moment, then turned back to Old Mrs. He, lifting her chin slightly.
But, no one is allowed to touch my children!
“As a mother, I am strong, you're quite capable aren't you!” Old Madam He put on a theatrical performance, angrily hitting her cane repeatedly, then picked up a pillow and threw it at He Ya, while scolding, "You good-for-nothing girl, look at the mess you've made!"
"Mom—," He Mother, who was hiding aside, naturally ran out immediately to dissuade her, protecting He Ya in front of her, just like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
Well, the play has reached this point, and Rong Qikeng is almost fed up. His heart now feels like he's swallowed dozens of raw oysters, nauseous. The woman closely related to Rong Ling, everyone knows she has her eyes on Rong Ling, and now she's pregnant with his child!
This was simply a fairytale to him!
"Heya, I don't remember ever having a relationship with you!"
His statement was direct and to the point!
But this, in Rong Qikeng's view, was the biggest flaw, yet Madam He had already plugged it tightly. Just seeing He Ya after hearing his words, her eyes reddened slightly, and her face flushed, she didn't know if it was anger or shame. She bit her lip, her tone somewhat stiff as she replied.
More than two months ago, Yezun Club, luxury suite, you already forgot about this!
Rong Qi's expression froze immediately.
Every heir of the Rong family, without exception, had one great advantage: a good memory. Two months ago, as soon as He Ya reminded him, Rong Qikeng immediately remembered. That night, he had been drinking and taking drugs, having a wild time, and indeed had held a woman. After that, the woman disappeared, and he didn't think much of it. Anyway, he came and went, holding many different women. In his heart, he estimated that she was just another casual fling who had also taken drugs and gone crazy.
But it was He Ya!
Rong Qi Keng's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little flustered!
As Mu Xinfeng said, it is indeed true!
"You…" He frowned, hesitated for a moment, and asked her unhappily. "How did you get there too!"
He Ya coldly retorted, "That club isn't yours, why can't I go!"
"No, you...how could you..."
He Ya knew what he was going to say, so she lowered her eyes and sounded a bit agitated.
"At that time, I had been drinking and acted like that!"
He seems reluctant to explain further!
Mrs. Ho immediately demanded a paternity test. Was this child really Rong Qi-kang's Was what He Ya said true This paternity test would reveal the truth!
This was exactly what Rong Qikeng thought. Although his intuition told him that this matter was most likely the case, he still held out hope that the final outcome would allow him to escape this mess. But Old Mrs. He had already set a trap, and she was going after Rong Qikeng, the big fish. Now that he had jumped in, wanting to get out was simply impossible!
Rong Qi's eyes widened in disbelief when he saw the hastily arranged paternity test results after their relationship fell apart!
That child, it really is his!
And, he's a boy too!
Then what He Ya said was actually true!
Rong Qi suddenly felt his mind was a bit muddled, he needed to go back and think things through carefully, going over everything in detail. Moreover, the sudden accident involving his wife Mu Xin Feng also required him to reconsider! He couldn't believe what Old Lady He had said about not knowing the child's father before now!
All of them are from large families, who would be foolish enough to believe everything someone says!
But Old Mrs. He wouldn't give Rong Qinkang a chance at all. Before he could even offer his resignation, she pressed him relentlessly with her questions.
"What should I do!"
"Yongqi Keng felt irritable, what should he do!"
Of course, the child should be aborted!
"Take him down!"
"No!" He Ya roared, showing an appearance that she would do anything for her child. "This is my child, no one is allowed to touch her!"
Then He Mu immediately comforted He Ya on the side, telling her not to get excited and to take care of herself.
Rong Qi-keng felt like he was standing there, surrounded by four women, including Ah Mei, the maid from the Ho family. He felt like a complete idiot! But he was also a ruthless person, so he spoke up.
"This child is an accident, and besides, we're all adults. When dealing with things, let's be mature about it. This child... needs to be aborted!"
"No!" He Ya sat down stiffly, her face cold and expressionless, as if she had become an ascetic. Her mother sat beside her, carefully protecting her.
Then Old Mrs. He snorted.
"My daughter, I tell you, is not like those loose women out there. She wouldn't be sent away so easily!"
It’s rather amusing to hear old Mrs. He say that. Rong Qikeng thought to himself, "Come on, you're daughter shouldn't just wander around like that! Why would she go to a place like that to drink and get drunk You know the men who frequent places like that are all about women, looking for one-night stands. She goes there to run wild and now this happens. Who can blame anyone else"
How dare he yell at Old Mrs. He like that! That crafty old woman, she's not some ordinary housewife who can be easily dealt with! He's now prime meat, and if this old lady doesn't take a big bite out of him, she won't give up!
So, let your anger rise!
After playing for so long, he didn't know where he would end up. In the end, he ended up with the woman of Rong Ling!
As soon as he thought about it, he probably just played what Rong Ling had already played with. He felt a surge of anger rising within him!
"Kid's gone, you can name your price!"
What Old Mrs. He really wants, both openly and secretly, is this!
He Ya, upon hearing this, let out another sharp roar.
"Grandma, if the child is gone, I'll go with them to die!"
"Oh, you child! What nonsense are you talking about Don't mention such things. Whatever happens, your grandmother will take care of it!" Mother He continued to coax him on the side.
Rong Qikeng was getting impatient, ignoring the two women and looking directly at Old Lady He.
Old Mrs. He's face was grave, and she remained silent for a moment.
Rong Qikeng reminded her very unhappily. “Grandma, I’m a married man with two grown sons. I don’t need any more sons. Your daughter just gave birth to the child and it’s useless. I might be speaking harshly, but please think it through carefully and have an abortion. It would be best for both of us, your family, and mine. Your daughter will still have to get married, and the He family needs its reputation too. This child is just an accident, let's erase it, okay Don’t let this accident ruin the friendship between our two families. You know I’ve been helping your Rong family both inside and out since I came here!”
This is about business matters, blackmailing the Ho family!
Now, Old Madam Ke's waist is straight. That's because their family has found a new powerful patron, one even stronger than Rong Qikeng!
“You said that!” Old Mrs. He narrowed her eyes, with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. “When something like this happens, of course we have to work hard to make things go in the best direction! I said it before, if anyone is found to be the one who caused my granddaughter this trouble, I will definitely not let him off. But now that person is you, how could I not give you face!”
That means, if it were someone else, she probably would have dropped the cane.
This made Rong Qi feel a little embarrassed. He thought he had made himself clear!
OK, since he said so, if Old Lady He doesn't agree, then let her speak for herself and see what she wants to do!
"How did you come up with that!"
What else could Old Lady He possibly have in mind She just wants her granddaughter to marry Rong Qikeng and become the mistress of the Rong family, she just wants Mu Xinfeng to die and step down quickly!
"My maid, Jinguì, is well-known for her pampering. Our whole family raised her with love! Now that this has happened, Qikēng, I'll just tell you this: our He family's daughters will never be bullied. As for how I want to handle this, I need to think it over carefully. This came as a bit of a surprise, so I need to talk to my maid's father!"
The girl's father!
Isn't that He Kuan!
Fung immediately felt trouble!
He Kuan is now on the fast track, rising through the ranks. To dismantle Rong Sanbo's power and secure his current position, he still needs He Kuan! After all, He Kuan is currently highly favored by Liu Shouzhang!
Grandma He suddenly brought up He Kuan, clearly a reminder, but also a warning!
He threatened the Ho family with business matters, but the Ho family retaliated by threatening him with political and military power. He was not well-received by his third uncle, and most of the people he had relationships with in the past had already been subdued by Rong Ling and had submitted to him. They were very loyal to Rong Sanbo. Now, in the realm of politics and military affairs, he had no one on his side. In other words, he was now starting from scratch in terms of cultivating his own people. He also had to guard against Rong Sanbo's actions, so he could only rely entirely on He Kuan!
Now, if everything were to be carefully calculated, it would be him Rong Qi Keng who needed the help of someone else's power!
This is also why his relationship with the He family has become increasingly close!
Once he thought about it, he became weaker.
"Alright, then let's do it this way for now. This came as quite a surprise to me, I need to think about it properly when I get back!"
Just like that, Rong Qi’s return was fraught with worry. Faced with Rong Feiwu and Du Caixian's questions, he was speechless.
One's own son, could parents not know his details!
At a glance, seeing Rong Qi's appearance like this, Rong Fei Wu's heart was filled with anger.
"Come here!"
He remained still.
Come here!
Feng Fei roared with rage!
Even as Father Rong Feiwu had aged and stepped down, his authority remained undiminished. Rong Qikeng walked closer.
Rong Feiwu sat on the sofa and beckoned, "Come here!"
Show him to bow his head!
Rong Qikeng bent over, meekly bringing his head closer. But before he could think, Rong Feiwu acted like an arrow, swiftly slapping Rong Qikeng across the face!
"I'll kill you, you little bastard! You play with women and even dared to mess with He Jia's girl! You have guts, don't you"
With a kick, Rong Feiwu kicked toward Rong Qi with a clang!
