Chapter 127: A bit crafty

"Wh-Why are you telling me all this?" Lu GuiFang stammered, her voice trembling under Han LiTian's icy tone.

She swallowed hard, her gaze shifting nervously.

Han LiTian kept his cold eyes fixed on them before speaking again.

"This time, don't think ShuYi can plead on your behalf. However long you're supposed to stay inside, you'll stay there."

"No, you can't do this!"

Hearing this, Lu GuiFang became agitated. She tried to grab Han LiTian, but a police officer stopped her.

She never expected things to escalate this far. If even Han ShuYi wouldn't help her, she might really end up in jail!

Despite her bullying nature, she was still human---of course, she feared prison! And even if she got out later, people would gossip behind her back for the rest of her life!

She couldn't possibly let that happen!

With this in mind, Lu GuiFang desperately turned to HuMing, shouting

"HuMing, do you really want to send your own parents to jail? Doing this will mark you as unfilial!"

Her words made a vein pulse on Han LiTian's forehead. He felt fortunate that HuMing wasn't truly related to these two; otherwise, he wouldn't have known how to move on.

Taking a deep breath, he was about to speak when a figure suddenly appeared at the door.

Kang Xin stepped into the room, drawing everyone's attention.

Ignoring the stares from those around her, she walked straight up to HuMing and said

"Young Master, I've brought what you asked for."

She pulled a document from her pocket and handed it to HuMing. Han YunXi, curious, leaned in to see.

Looking at the results written on the paper, the heavy-weight in her heart finally lifted.

So it was true---HuMing really wasn't the child of Zhao Wei and Lu GuiFang!

Han LiTian also stepped forward, taking the paternity test results from HuMing's hand. After reading them carefully, he let out a long sigh, his gaze on HuMing turning more complex.

"I'll handle the rest."

Han LiTian handed the paternity test to the officer recording statements, then spoke in front of Zhao Wei and Lu GuiFang.

"Officer, this document proves that Han HuMing is not their biological son. I believe this changes the nature of the situation, doesn't it?"

Hearing this, the officers' faces shifted drastically.

If things were as Han LiTian claimed, then Zhao Wei and Lu GuiFang would be guilty of a crime!

Silence fell over the room as Lu GuiFang and Zhao Wei stared dumbfounded at Han LiTian and the test results in the officer's hand. Then, their emotions erupted.

"What are you talking about? Han HuMing is my son! He is!"

Lu GuiFang, like a mad woman, lunged at Han LiTian, but she was pinned down firmly against the table.

Han LiTian kept his cold gaze on them and continued

"If you don't believe me, feel free to conduct another paternity test."

Lu GuiFang had never felt her world crumble like this. Her face twisted with fury as she glared at HuMing as if she wanted to devour him.

"It was you---it must have been your doing! Han HuMing, you abandoned your own parents just for fame and fortune---you're not human!"

"You're the one who's not human! My brother is a good person!" Han YunXi couldn't hold back any longer, but HuMing gently patted her hand as if trying to soothe her.

He looked calmly at Lu GuiFang and, after a long silence, finally spoke.

"Lu GuiFang, your words are laughable. It turns out, I'm not even your son, so you have no right to control me anymore. When you sent people after me, you probably never thought this day would come. But don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to reflect in your cell. When you finally come to your senses, you might remember that you have another son somewhere out there that you've never even met."

HuMing smiled---a gentle, composed smile---but it carried little warmth.

Lu GuiFang grew more agitated at his words, her body trembling, her emotions so intense that she seemed to convulse.

"No, you're wrong! What you're saying isn't true! How could you not be my son? Where is my son, my son?!"

Lu GuiFang began to ramble incoherently while beside her, Zhao Wei remained silent, his face ashen.

He stared at HuMing, at the face that bore no resemblance to his own, and at last, resigned himself to the truth.

The two were taken away and locked up by the police, as this matter would take some time to investigate.

But before leaving, HuMing stepped in front of Lu GuiFang, staring at her nearly contorted face, and spoke in a low voice.

"This time, not even the Han ShuYi you're so proud of can save you. But you two were foolish, letting him use you without even realizing it."

"Y-You... What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, Han ShuYi thought he could use you both to control me. But in the end, you were nothing more than a pair of useless pawns. And as for useless pawns---well, they will be discarded."

HuMing's smile was bright, but it was laced with irony as he faced Lu GuiFang.

She kept shaking her head, her eyes wide, repeating "That can't be the truth," over and over again.

HuMing watched her expression with a hint of satisfaction, observing as she disappeared around the corner.

'Finally, these two troublemakers are dealt with.'

He let out a sigh and pressed his lips into a thin line.

Turning his head, he saw three figures waiting for him at the entrance. He gave them a smile, then headed outside.

Han LiTian hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

That couple hadn't actually found their son---so who was HuMing really? And who were his real parents?

Suddenly, HuMing became an unwanted child, making Han LiTian even more sympathy for him. Searᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Han YunXi followed behind HuMing, unable to find the words to comfort him. After all, HuMing's origins had changed again and again, and now he was shrouded in even more mystery!

'Is brother really alright?'

A trace of worry flickered in Han YunXi's eyes.

Meanwhile, HuMing walked alongside Kang Xin, seemingly discussing something.

"You came just in time---the timing was perfect."

"Young Master, I waited outside for a while before stepping in," Kang Xin explained quietly.

HuMing paused, then smiled.

It seemed Kang Xin had learned to be a bit crafty.

"But, Young Master, I might have caused some trouble."

"Oh? What happened?"



"Just as I was leaving, Han ShuYi stopped me and asked for my help with something. I refused, and I even threw him to the ground. He might use this against you."

Kang Xin's voice carried a hint of guilt.

She felt that she shouldn't have added more trouble for HuMing.

But HuMing, hearing her words, was first taken aback, then gave her a thumbs-up.

"Did you stomp on him a couple more times?"
