Han LiTian had just returned from the company, but before he could get out of the car, his phone rang in his pocket.
Frowning, he glanced at the screen to find a call from the police station.
He answered the call, and a woman's voice came through.
"Hello, is this Mr. Han LiTian?"
"Yes, What's the matter?"
"Well, your son is in some trouble. There are two people here claiming to be Han HuMing's parents, but Han HuMing says that you are his father. Could you come to the police station now?"
"I'll be there immediately!" Realizing that HuMing was in some sort of trouble, Han LiTian's expression darkened.
He became increasingly disgusted with that couple; as the child's parents, how could they send their child to the police station?
Could such people even be called parents?
Thinking about the present Han ShuYi, it was hard for Han LiTian to imagine the two-faced nature of that couple.
Not wanting to dwell on it further, Han LiTian restarted his car, ready to leave the villa. Just then, Han YunXi's voice rang out behind him.
"Dad! Brother got taken to the police station!"
"How did you know?" Han LiTian opened the door, and Han YunXi quickly climbed in, buckling up.
"A friend told me! Hurry, we have to go!"
Han YunXi's face showed her anxiety. Since receiving Ye QiuXue's call, she had been worried about HuMing.
She knew that those two were troublemakers. Even after being held accountable last time, they hadn't changed; instead, they had become even more audacious.
Just as the car pulled out of the driveway, Han ShuYi arrived back at the villa.
Seeing the empty villa, Han ShuYi couldn't help but feel puzzled.
He opened the group chat for his class, and his eyes narrowed when he saw the latest messages. His expression shifted from surprise to a cold smirk.
"ShuYi, you're back," Zhou WenLi stepped out of her room, smiling warmly at the sight of her son. "Your dad said he'd be home for lunch. How come he's not back yet?"
"Mom, I might know why."
Han ShuYi handed his phone over to Zhou WenLi. S~eaʀᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Upon seeing the messages, Zhou WenLi sighed in exasperation.
"HuMing really knows how to cause trouble, and so do his parents. How did they end up in the police station again? I bet your father's gone there, too. Oh well, let's just eat first."
"Let's call my sister to join us."
"Okay. She's been back for a while. I'll go get her."
Zhou WenLi headed towards Han YunXi's room, while Han ShuYi's gaze grew colder as he stared at his phone.
If this incident could finally push HuMing out of the Han family, it would be perfect for him!
...
Meanwhile, at the police station.
Lu GuiFang was loudly accusing HuMing of being cold and targeting them over the past few months.
However, one of the officers present had previously handled Lu GuiFang and HuMing's earlier case and quickly challenged her claims.
"Ma'am, last time you pushed your son, almost seriously harm. Now you're trying to send him to one of those so-called internet addiction camps. And it seems like you're not following any proper legal procedures for that. Care to explain?"
"Explain what? He's my son, and that's all there is to it! I can do whatever I want with him!" Lu GuiFang shouted in frustration. At that moment, HuMing slowly raised his head to look at her.
"Putting aside the fact that you don't have legal custody over me, you haven't taken care of me all these years. As soon as you came back, you demanded that I get a job right after high school, and then you tried to send me off to some camp against my will. Frankly, your words don't mean much to me. Besides, who told you that I'm really your son?"
"What do you mean? You and ShuYi are the ones who were mistakenly carried at birth, weren't you? Who else would you be if not my son?"
"If you can even mistakenly carry the wrong son, I find it hard to trust what you say." HuMing turned to the officer beside him.
"If they aren't my biological parents, would their actions today count as illegal?"
"...Yes."
The officer wasn't sure what HuMing was implying, but Lu GuiFang, hearing his words, shot up from her seat, pointing at HuMing and cursing.
"You want to throw your own parents in jail? I should've killed you when you were born!"
"Then how would you have been able to keep your precious son Han ShuYi around? Oh, Officer, her words just now. Can I see it as she's threatening me?"
"...Yes."
The officer looked sternly at Lu GuiFang, warning her to stop talking. Under the officer's intense gaze, Lu GuiFang quickly fell silent.
Meanwhile, HuMing remained calm, seated in his chair, as he began recounting the events that had just happened.
An officer nearby took detailed notes of HuMing's account, his expression growing more severe with each word.
After some time, Han LiTian and Han YunXi finally arrived at the police station. Spotting HuMing as he emerged from the interrogation room, they immediately approached him to ask about his situation.
"How are you? Are you alright? I heard from the officers that those two were causing trouble for you again?" Han LiTian's tone was stern, and the barely contained anger in his eyes was unmistakable to HuMing.
HuMing shook his head, then briefly explained what had happened. As Han LiTian listened, his anger visibly intensified, his brows knitting into a deep frown. Han YunXi, on the other hand, stood there with her mouth slightly agape, struggling to comprehend how such shameless people could exist.
They had never cared for HuMing, not even for a single day, yet they sought to control his life!
"Ridiculous. You don't need to worry about this; I'll handle it! I have your custody rights, so you don't need to be afraid of anything they might do!"
Han LiTian's stance was firm. Last time, due to Han ShuYi's plea, they had held back on taking serious action against the couple.
But this time, they had crossed a line with Han LiTian. Even though they had raised Han ShuYi, that did not give them the right to hurt HuMing!
"Dad, let me handle this myself."
HuMing's expression remained calm, unaffected by the whole situation with Lu GuiFang and her husband.
This puzzled Han LiTian.
Lu GuiFang had targeted him so much, yet he seemed completely unperturbed. Why wasn't he reacting more?
HuMing reached into his pocket, took out his phone, and made a call.
"Are you home? Bring that thing over here. I'll be waiting at the police station."
With that, HuMing ended the call.
Han LiTian and Han YunXi exchanged confused looks, unsure of what HuMing was planning.
HuMing looked back at them and spoke with a serious tone.
"It turns out that I'm not their real son!"
