“Mr. Zhang HongHao, perhaps you should ask your wife who Zhang Ziyue’s biological parents really are? And what exactly is the relationship between your wife and her colleague Pan Tianyuan? To my knowledge, Pan Tianyuan is colorblind, and so is your son Zhang Ziyue. Color blindness is a genetic trait that can be inherited.”

“The message has been delivered, Mr. Zhang HongHao. Please make a donation of 100,000 yuan to any charity foundation for children in the mountainous area within 12 hours, and send the receipt of the donation to the Abyss Organization.”

“Please be assured, should you refuse to pay, the Abyss Organization has countless ways to make you pay a price far heavier than 100,000 yuan.”

“Goodbye, the Abyss Organization is very much looking forward to continuing to serve you next time!”

What?!

Zhang HongHao could hardly believe his eyes as he read the string of messages on his phone. These words were like a bolt from the blue, a mighty blow to him!

Although the content of the message wasn’t explicitly stated, its meaning was crystal clear!

His own son was not of his blood!

But the child of his wife and her colleague Pan Tianyuan!

This…

Impossible?

For a man who was successful in his career, had a happy family, and held significant power, such news was undoubtedly a negation of his entire life.

Because he came from a family with a history of officialdom, Zhang HongHao was a man who acted methodically. Even faced with such shocking news, he didn’t lose his composure completely.

Moreover, it wasn’t yet certain whether the information was true or false.

“This organization knows too much. Even if this is a scam, they must have more information about me.”

“The more critical the situation, the less one should panic!”

“There are two possibilities now.”

“One is that someone close to me is trying to threaten me in this way; the other might be that the organization wants to make a deal with me, and this piece of intelligence is just an appetizer.”

“No matter which it is, I must first find out if Zhang Ziyue… is truly my own flesh and blood.”

“The 12 hours are not so much for transferring funds, but rather a deadline for me to verify the facts.”

It has to be said,

Those who have been in high positions, even if blessed by their ancestors, indeed possess a level of thinking and self-control far beyond that of ordinary people.

Zhang HongHao, after a brief moment of shock, quickly forced himself to calm down.

At that moment,

Chen Ru, who had just finished showering and was wearing only a thin, sexy lace nightgown, walked out of the bathroom.

Chen Ru was the mother of Zhang Ziyue, who had dealt with Lin Mo before.

She was also Zhang HongHao’s wife.

Chen Ru, standing at the door of the bathroom, called out in a delicate voice, “Hubby, could you help me with my hair?”

Upon seeing his wife, a fire ignited within Zhang HongHao, and he was tempted to directly ask her about their son.

However, he was well aware that even if he asked directly, it was unlikely she would admit to anything.

“Coming.”

Zhang HongHao narrowed his eyes, nodding expressionlessly.

After stepping into the bathroom, he took the hair dryer handed over by Chen Ru, stood behind her, and gently blew her beautiful blonde hair.

Chen Ru, admiring herself in the mirror, cooed, “Hubby, I’m really so fortunate. Every time I see you, my heart starts thumping wildly.”

Her words were a genuine expression of her feelings, not feigned emotion.

Before marrying Zhang HongHao, she had been nothing more than an ordinary worker. Although she had a place in Rakshasa City, it was just a 30 square meter old apartment, where she had to squeeze in with her parents and younger brother.

In such old tenement buildings, she had to use public bathrooms, and at night, if she needed to relieve herself, she resorted to using a chamber pot.

It was Zhang HongHao who gave her everything she now possessed.

As for why she had an affair, it was because it was with her first love, and after living a good life for too long, she sought excitement.

If she had to choose a husband from the bottom of her heart, she would undoubtedly choose Zhang HongHao without hesitation.

“Mm, if you’re happy, that’s all that matters.”

Zhang HongHao casually responded, yet his face lacked any superfluous expression.

Only the sound of the hairdryer echoed in the living room.

Just as Chen Ru’s hair was about to be dry, Zhang HongHao seemed to have made a certain decision, and without warning, he suddenly asked, “Chen Ru, how much longer do you plan to hide your affair with Pan Tianyuan from me?”

What?

Upon suddenly hearing her lover’s name, Chen Ru’s originally content expression froze instantly. She stared at Zhang HongHao, disbelieving, and asked, “What do you mean? I… I don’t understand.”

Honestly, Chen Ru’s performance was quite impressive.

But unfortunately, that brief moment of panic had already been clearly detected by Zhang HongHao.

If he previously had doubts, now he was certain that there was something illicit between his wife and Pan Tianyuan!

“Hiss…”

Zhang HongHao took a deep breath in secret, his voice growing even colder and his complexion extremely gloomy, as he continued to apply pressure, “I’ve already had a paternity test done. Do I need to say more? Zhang Ziyue’s color blindness also comes from him.”

This…

Chen Ru was utterly dumbfounded.

Her brain completely crashed, but tears streamed down her face as if they cost nothing.

“Husband, it wasn’t me… Believe me, Pan Tianyuan forced me… I was too scared… I feared you would leave me… so I didn’t dare tell you…”

“Husband, I really didn’t mean it, please consider for the sake of….”

Slap!

A crisp slap rang out in the living room, and Chen Ru’s voice came to an abrupt halt.

“Chen Ru, what way have I been unjust to you?”

“Having me raise another man’s son, is this how you repay me?”

“Our marriage is over!”

Zhang HongHao’s angry face was trembling, he grabbed his jacket, and was about to leave.

His mood was extremely agitated, he even felt a desire to kill, but having been taught to follow the rules since childhood, he couldn’t bring himself to act too rashly.

“Husband… Please don’t go…”

“I really didn’t do it on purpose, it was all Pan Tianyuan, he forced me…………………………… ”

Chen Ru was truly frightened,

She knew very well that if her husband left their home today, her life would be over.

At this point, she no longer cared about saving face.

“Husband, please, it’s not what you think, maybe the test report is wrong!”

“Listen to my explanation, please!”

“If you leave like this, mom and dad will be very angry, you don’t want to upset them, do you?”

“Zhang Ziyue, come out here!”

Chen Ru, her face soaked with tears, looked pitifully as she knelt on the ground, tightly clutching Zhang HongHao’s leg, refusing to let go at any cost.

She was nothing like the proud woman she had been when facing Lin Mo.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ziyue, hearing the commotion and holding a cellphone that was still on the ‘Egg Party Game,’ ran out from her room, and was also stunned by the scene.

Are mom and dad playing a game?

But why is mom crying?

Chen Ru hurriedly shouted, “Hurry… Kneel down and beg your dad to stay, quickly!”

“Husband, for the sake of our child, I beg you, please don’t go! I’ll do anything you ask!”
