Free Web NovelChapter 64: Chapter 64: Who Is the Big Shot?
Bai Xin’s words struck the very heart of Cheng Weishan’s greatest secret.
A shudder ran through him. He shot a glance at Lu Chao and Cheng Yunsu, then hastily lashed out, "Who says I won’t do it? I was just letting Yunxiang go first! As a father, it’s only right for me to go last. I want to wake Chuming with my own hands."
Cheng Weishan, too, was just stalling for time.
Staring at Cheng Weishan, Bai Xin looked as if she had discovered a monumental secret. She repeated, "Could it be that Chuming really isn’t your biological son?"
She suddenly had a plan.
She would use Cheng Weishan’s great secret to shift the animosity, diverting the hatred Lu Chao and Cheng Yunsu felt for her.
Once the great secret was revealed, all the attention would be on Cheng Weishan, and she might just be ignored.
Unfortunately for Bai Xin, Lu Chao and Cheng Yunsu already knew Cheng Weishan’s secret.
"Nonsense! Believe it or not, I’ll kill you!" Cheng Weishan flew into a rage.
Bai Xin sneered again and again. "Go on, kill me. So it’s true, you’re not Cheng Chuming’s biological father. You’ve hidden it so well."
"If Cheng Yunxiang is Chuming’s biological son, then why don’t you hurry up and have him offer his blood?" Cheng Weishan roared.
Bai Xin’s expression froze, the color draining from her face. "You first..."
The two fell into another frenzied argument, each shoving the responsibility onto the other, both refusing to give blood to Cheng Chuming.
Finally, a hoarse voice boomed from Cheng Chuming’s mouth: "Both of you, that’s enough!"
The sound exploded from him.
Cheng Weishan and Bai Xin froze simultaneously. They stared at Cheng Chuming in disbelief, completely dumbfounded.
’He hasn’t even received the blood. How is he alive?’
But they quickly recovered. Bai Xin was the first to rush over, saying, "Chuming, Yunxiang really is your biological son."
Cheng Weishan also said quickly, "Chuming, you really are my biological son."
Although they were bewildered, it was as if they had grasped a lifeline...
Looking at the two people before him, Cheng Chuming gave a miserable laugh, seeming to age ten years in an instant. "Do you... take me for a fool?"
After their performance just now, there was no need to ask any more questions. The truth was laid bare before him.
Cheng Chuming wasn’t pretending anymore. He couldn’t keep up the act.
’It’s too tragic, too painful.’
Ignoring the two of them, Cheng Chuming said with a miserable smile, "Lu Chao, I’ll leave this to you... Yunsu, help me back to my room."
Cheng Yunsu hurried forward and quickly helped her father up.
And just like that, supported by Cheng Yunsu, Cheng Chuming staggered toward his room.
It wasn’t until the father and daughter had taken several steps that Bai Xin snapped back to her senses. She finally understood that the so-called "scam" was that Cheng Chuming wasn’t dead. She quickly shouted again, "Chuming, don’t go! Listen to my explanation!"
Cheng Chuming’s steps faltered for a moment. He coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, then continued forward.
"Cheng Chuming, come back!"
"Even if Yunxiang isn’t your biological son, you raised him for over a decade! Don’t you have any feelings for him?"
Seeing that Cheng Chuming still had no intention of stopping...
Bai Xin couldn’t help but roar again, "You’re nothing but an animal! Yunxiang called you ’father’ for over ten years! Was that all for nothing?"
SLAP...
The words had barely left her mouth when Bai Xin was sent flying by a slap. It wasn’t Lu Chao who had struck.
It was Cheng Weishan again. After slapping her, he rushed forward and roared at Bai Xin, "How dare you?! You raised another man’s son for over a decade! You damn bitch, you deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
After speaking, Cheng Weishan rushed toward the still-unconscious Cheng Yunxiang and killed him with a single palm strike.
After finishing him off, Cheng Weishan then killed the equally unconscious Lu Mi.
While Bai Xin was wailing hysterically, he grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up. He then shouted, "I’m different, Chuming... I have feelings for you."
"Even though your mother wronged me back then, I still raised you all this time!"
Cheng Weishan used this opportunity to confess, but he was still lying.
Halting his steps, Cheng Chuming gave a miserable laugh and retorted...
"You forced my mother to ’serve’ a powerful man, didn’t you? You raised me only because you hoped to curry favor with that powerful man one day, right? And you were going to force my mother to serve a second powerful man, weren’t you?"
"My mother was driven to her death by you, wasn’t she? And you have the audacity to say she wronged you?"
The words came out in a furious torrent...
Cheng Weishan’s expression froze. He subconsciously asked, "How did you know... No, that’s not true."
Another miserable laugh...
This time, Cheng Chuming had truly heard the truth. He didn’t want to know anything more.
He just wanted to get away from this place as quickly as possible. It was all too devastating.
Seeing this, Cheng Weishan dropped Bai Xin and chased after him. "Chuming, let your father explain! It’s not what you heard."
However, he couldn’t catch up. Lu Chao directly blocked his path.
"Cheng Weishan, the truth has long been crystal clear."
"Cheng Chuyan told us. You should know very well where she heard it from. Do you really think there’s any point in arguing?"
At Lu Chao’s words, Cheng Weishan stood stunned. He finally understood how Cheng Chuming knew everything.
He finally understood that Cheng Chuming faking his death was a deliberate trap set for him and Bai Xin.
He cursed silently, ’That damn old woman! To think she’d spill the secret. I should have silenced her sooner.’
He was cursing the mother of Cheng Chuyan and Cheng Chugong—his second wife, who had been dead for several years. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
After his silent cursing, he knew arguing was useless and quickly changed the subject. "Chuming, don’t you want to know who your real father is? Or about your mother’s family and so on?"
Cheng Weishan’s only chance of survival was to trade this information with Cheng Chuming.
At that moment, Cheng Chuming had already reached a corner of the Cheng Mansion’s main courtyard.
"My mother’s family... didn’t you kill them all?"
"As for what ’powerful man’ my biological father is, I don’t have the slightest interest in knowing. Not someone who would accept the flattery of a sycophant like you."
"Haha..."
"Damn it all... he can’t be any good either."
This was the crazed laughter that followed a devastating blow. Cheng Chuming and Cheng Yunsu disappeared completely from the Cheng Mansion’s courtyard.
In the Cheng Mansion’s courtyard...
Cheng Weishan trembled, staring at Lu Chao who blocked his path. He swallowed hard.
"Lu Chao, my dear grandson-in-law."
"Don’t you want to know who that powerful man is? I can tell you, just give me a chance to live."
After speaking, he looked at Lu Chao, his face full of expectation.
Lu Chao gave a cold smile...
"If Xiao Su’er hadn’t had that burst of talent, my father-in-law probably wouldn’t be alive today, correct?"
"Just like how you treated Xiao Su’er after she was suddenly crippled."
Cheng Weishan’s expression stiffened...
After confirming he could no longer use Cheng Chuming to curry favor with that powerful man, Cheng Weishan had long wanted to get rid of him.
It was only later, when Cheng Yunsu’s talent exploded forth, that he started putting on an act again.
If Wu Xin hadn’t wanted to toy with Cheng Yunsu, he would have made his move a few days ago when it was confirmed that Cheng Yunsu was crippled again with no hope of recovery.
"Since my father-in-law doesn’t want to know who that powerful man is, then there’s no need for anyone to know."
Lu Chao spoke again indifferently. As the words left his lips, his Sword suddenly shot out... THUMP!
With one strike, his Sword accurately pierced Cheng Weishan’s Heavenly Destiny Bone, crippling him first.
