Chapter 323 - Trust

The only thing they knew was that Xiao Lan Ke and Xiao Lan Xi were great people. They were smart, capable, hardworking, and filial. They were also very good-hearted people and loved adventurous things. Xiao Lan Ke had the habit of going to natural areas to hike while Xiao Lan Xi would go to the mountains and camp as well. Xiao Lan Ke stayed in Country X and dealt with a lot of political matters while Xiao Lan Xi stayed abroad most of the time, and it was said that she had a company overseas. However, both of them died in accidents while they were still young. Other than that, they don't know anything else about them.

"What are you trying to get to? What do you mean?"

"We can't confirm if you are really Xiao Lan Ke's child because we can't retrieve his DNA, but it is likely true. The one thing we can confirm is that you are the grandchildren of Grandfather Xiao and Grandmother Xiao."

Jing Mo Chen passed the DNA comparison test of Shen Feng Xing and the two elders in the Xiao family to Shen Feng Xing.

Shen Feng Xing stared at the DNA analysis in shock as he couldn't believe that he was the biological grandson of Xiao Rong Yao and Song Qiao. He thought of many possibilities of why Jing Mo Chen did a DNA comparison test between him and the two elders and the only possibility was that Jing Mo Chen wanted to use him against Shen Nan Kun. That was why Shen Feng Xing chose not to believe Jing Mo Chen's words.

"How do I know that I can trust you?"

"You have nothing that I could take from. Shen Nan Kun and the others don't know that you are the biological descendant of the Xiao family, and since they only think of you as an adopted child, there was no way that he would let you in on anything related to their plans. I am sure even Shen Yu Ning wouldn't know about their plans because he would not allow any mistakes to happen. They are all selfish people, and they would sacrifice anyone to make their plans happen, and those that they sacrifice are mostly people that are not blood-related to them. If they had to sacrifice people who were related to them, they would definitely sacrifice people that they are not close to and useless people. Hence, there was no way that they would let you or Shen Yu Ning know anything about what they were doing."

"More important, if I needed people to help Jing Corporation, I could have looked for other people with more powerful companies instead of looking for you. Even if you did have the shares of the two corporations, you would never give them to me, so why would I bother to look for you for such matters? Also, how would I benefit from telling you that you are the biological descendant of the Xiao family? It is not like I could get you to help the Xiao family when you had already done enough to protect the Xiao family's reputation by resigning from your post. I also can't turn you evil and go against the Xiao family since it wouldn't benefit me if you went against the Xiao family and help Heinrich Corporation as well."

Shen Feng Xing remained quiet because whatever that Jing Mo Chen said was very accurate. There was nothing that Jing Mo Chen could obtain from him, and there was no reason why Jing Mo Chen would look for him when he could just look for other people who had more power.

"That's why you can trust me that I didn't show these things to you to try to use you or do something to you. There is really nothing that I can take from you. I know you are curious as to why I did a DNA test between you and Grandfather Xiao and Grandmother Xiao. The reason is simple, and that is you look very similar to someone in the Xiao family."

"You mean Xiao Lan Ke? The reason why Shen Nan Kun and Xiao Lan Yu decided to adopt me was exactly that I looked a little similar to Grandfather and Grandmother. Hence, it is entirely possible that I look similar to Xiao Lan Ke as well. This is not a valid reason."

"Yes and no. You look very similar to someone else as well and you possess traits that are similar to that person as well. Hence, you are most likely the child of Xiao Lan Ke."

Not only did Shen Feng Xing looked similar to Mo Xi, but the two also had similar characteristics. Both of them were loyal to their family and would do anything to protect their family. Furthermore, Shen Feng Xing also had identical traits like the late Xiao Lan Ke, and that was his ability to make people trust him. Xiao Lan Ke was a very influential politician because of that ability and his work capability.

Although Shen Feng Xing didn't manage to prevent Shen Nan Kun's plans from happening, he was still very talented in doing business, and that was why Shen Nan Kun needed him as the puppet. Not only did Shen Nan Kun needed Shen Feng Xing to be a cover-up for what he planned, but he also required Shen Feng Xing to help him prosper the two corporations to a large extent.

One of the reasons why Shen Nan Kun was able to garner so many people on their side was that those who had agreed to work with Heinrich Corporation had thought that Shen Feng Xing was involved in the plans and because they trusted him, they joined. That was also why those companies that had agreed to join were furious when Shen Feng Xing stepped down from his CEO position and said that he had nothing to do with Shen Nan Kun's plans and knew nothing about it.
