"CEO Ding, I just heard about today’s incident, and I apologize on his behalf," Xiao Chubing said.

That was just her personality; she wouldn’t pretend or feign politeness, and she had set the tone from the start—isn’t it said that no one is offended by excessive courtesy?

Ding Wanchang came alone, with a somewhat troubled expression, and he quickly responded politely, "President Xiao, you’re too kind. I should be thanking Mr. Ling. Sorry for intruding without an invitation."

Xiao Chubing felt puzzled. The man’s son had been crippled, and yet he came over to offer thanks—what kind of reasoning was that?

"Please, CEO Ding, come in and sit for a while!" Xiao Chubing was growing more curious, but she did not let it show.

"No need, I just came specially to remind Mr. Ling. Given today’s events, I’m afraid Han Fang won’t let it go easily; she might find people to deal with you. You should be careful," Ding Wanchang earnestly warned.

Xiao Chubing’s puzzlement deepened. It was a strange act—one wanting revenge, and the other coming specifically to warn—but she couldn’t help being more curious about Ling Fan. Now, however, it was really not convenient to inquire further.

Ling Fan, on the other hand, had a clearer idea, but he was surprised that Ding Wanchang had taken the trouble to come and warn him.

"I won’t disturb you two any further. I’ll host you another day," Ding Wanchang offered a forced smile, which could not hide his sorrow.

As he turned to leave, Ling Fan hesitated and then said, "Wait, sit down for a bit. Actually, I have something to tell you."

Ding Wanchang was startled, unsure of what Ling Fan wanted to discuss, but after a moment’s hesitation, he nodded.

Once inside the villa’s hall, the rarely proactive Xiao Chubing personally brewed a pot of tea and then sat down beside Ling Fan. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The house did not have a maid, since all these chores, like serving tea and water, had been Ling Fan’s household duties for two years.

This was Ding Wanchang’s first visit, but noticing Xiao Chubing’s behavior and attitude, he realized that the rumors were somewhat biased.

He had heard about the incident that occurred after leaving Tian Hao today; Xiao Chubing’s husband was certainly no simple man.

"Boss Ding, you can rest assured that we as a couple will not reveal your matters to others," Ling Fan reassured him.

Listened from the side, Xiao Chubing was completely confused, feeling as if there was a cat scratching at her heart, yet it was awkward for her to ask further, so she just listened quietly, pretending to be calm and as though she already knew.

Upon hearing this, Ding Wanchang’s face darkened—he had been hit with a bolt from the blue at Tian Hao when Ling Fan revealed that Ding Shicheng was not his biological son.

Such news was a shock; Ding Shicheng did not resemble him, and with rumors about his young wife’s infidelity, this had always been a thorn in his side.

It was only after Han Fang proactively suggested a paternity test that his worries were alleviated.

He did not believe Ling Fan’s words in the hotel at first, but Ling Fan spoke with such certainty and provided solid reasoning, claiming he could prove it on the spot.

Even if it were true, for the sake of his pride and dignity, he couldn’t just comply there and then, letting himself be humiliated.

What truly made him unable to bear it and verify on the spot was that Han Fang’s lover turned out to be none other than the company’s Finance Manager Du Tao, supposedly her cousin, who was always around him.

If it had been just a rumor of Han Fang’s immorality from the past, he could have endured it, but being cuckolded so blatantly for over twenty years made him explode on the spot.

Thinking of these distressing matters made Ding Wanchang’s mood even worse, "Sigh, living for so long only to have things come to this. I’ve become a laughingstock."

"What do you plan to do with them?" Ling Fan asked curiously.

With Old Ding’s temperament, those two adulterers were bound to end up at the bottom of the river. Du Tao was just a social hooligan with no background.

He had happened upon the knowledge of Ding Wanchang’s desperate situation years ago—changing women daily—and so had schemed his way into the inner circle, eventually arranging for Han Fang to get pregnant by Ding Wanchang, with the intent of usurping his family wealth and securing a life of ease once and for all.

Ding Wanchang at Tian Hao couldn’t simply take Ling Fan’s word for it, but with some mild prompting from Ling Fan, any last hope that Ding Wanchang had was easily shattered through deceit.

At Ding Wanchang’s level, he naturally knew how to extract information. He inquired about Han Fang’s whereabouts the day before, and Han Fang and Du Tao couldn’t have coordinated their stories for their every outing.

The main reason they were caught was that, after twenty years without slip-ups, their guard had lowered, and it was easy to trick the truth out of Han Fang.

Therefore, in a rage, Ding Wanchang slapped Han Fang, and when she returned home, she confessed everything. Eventually, the truth couldn’t be concealed, and it wasn’t difficult to get to the root of the matter.

Ding Wanchang gave a bitter smile as though he’d suddenly aged a lot, "That’s what’s infuriating me. All I did was force her to leave without her belongings. You might not know, but these two had already made their plans."

"Du Tao has a cousin who is a direct disciple of Lu Jinglun, the head of the Weisheng Martial Arts School, and rumour has it that the school has connections with a martial arts family. So, for now, I can only swallow my anger."

"I came to remind you for this reason, be careful of them making a desperate move since you’ve disrupted their little arrangement,"

Xiao Chubing felt a suffocating discomfort in her heart, but she vaguely understood a bit, it seemed like Ding Wanchang’s wife had an affair, which greatly shocked her.

"Oh! So there’s also this matter, quite interesting," Ling Fan nodded.

The relationship between Du Tao and Weisheng Martial Arts Hall wasn’t really clear, not because it couldn’t be found out, but because it was impossible to investigate the background of everyone in Binzhou for no reason.

"There’s plenty of time for settling accounts in the future, and CEO Ding doesn’t need to be disheartened. I’ve got some good news for you. Remember Luo Juan?" Ling Fan mentioned another name.

Ding Wanchang was immediately astonished; apart from himself, nobody knew this name. If it hadn’t been for Ling Fan bringing it up today, he had almost forgotten this name over the past thirty years.

Luo Juan was his first love. Back when he hadn’t made his fortune and was just a gangster on the streets, poor and destitute, Luo Juan was deeply disappointed in Ding Wanchang, who was not conducting himself properly, and thus left him.

However, such a closely guarded secret, how did Ling Fan know? Even based on age it didn’t make sense as Ling Fan had not even been born when these events took place.

Ling Fan saw the confusion in Ding Wanchang’s eyes, a feat that was extremely difficult for others, but too simple for him.

The power behind Vermilion Bird was beyond imagination, and he had Vermilion Bird investigate the detailed power structure of Binzhou as soon as he regained his memory.

For martial artists, investigating the secrets of an ordinary person is as easy as turning one’s hand over, a mentalist skilled in hypnotism can make you spill your entire family history with little effort.

However, some of the information was purely due to Vermilion Bird’s excessive curiosity, so it took the liberty to learn a bit more on the side.

"Don’t think too much, I did not specifically investigate you, it was just a coincidence. For me, wanting to know something isn’t difficult.

What I wanted to say is, Luo Juan has a son who is your biological child, and not only is he outstanding, but he is also a young entrepreneur, apparently about to get married," Ling Fan spoke leisurely.

Ding Wanchang felt like he had received an adrenaline shot, suddenly standing up, uncontrollably excited and looking incredulously at Ling Fan.

"You... you’re not lying to me? Where are they now?" Ding Wanchang eyed Ling Fan intensely, his heart had been in ashes, never expecting a light at the end of the tunnel.

After so many years, he had no idea where to look for Luo Juan, and even less so that when she left him she was already pregnant, and moreover, had given birth to the child and raised him to be so outstanding.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help his eyes reddening, without thinking one could tell that mother and son must have suffered a great deal.

Only at this moment did Xiao Chubing confirm her suspicions from the conversation between the two men, her heart overwhelmed as if hit by a tsunami. But such a secret matter, unknown even to the parties involved, how did Ling Fan know?

Xiao Chubing found that her doubts were only increasing.

"I’ll give you an address, you can go look for them yourself!" Saying so, Ling Fan took out paper and pen, wrote down an address, and handed it to Ding Wanchang.

Ding Wanchang’s hands trembled as he received the slip of paper, glanced at it, and carefully tucked it away.

"Mr. Ling, I’ll remember your kindness!" Ding Wanchang clasped his hands and bowed respectfully.

Ling Fan waved his hand dismissively, "I only helped you incidentally because of my wife. Besides, you came over to warn me kindly, which shows you are not a bad person."

Frankly speaking, in Ling Fan’s eyes, Ding Wanchang really wasn’t worth much, to put it rudely, he didn’t even qualify to be his underling.

Ding Wanchang’s respect for Ling Fan grew internally, as the Zhou Family was willing to discard their heir to win over Ling Fan, revealing just a glimpse of the underlying dynamics.

He must handle this relationship delicately; seeing Ling Fan’s attitude, it seemed he didn’t think highly of himself, so it looked like he had to interact more with Xiao Chubing.

Xiao Chubing, listening on the side, was thoroughly bewildered. Her worthless husband seemed to have transformed overnight into someone she didn’t recognize, now a mystery to her.

Right then, Ding Wanchang was preoccupied with Luo Juan’s matter, eager to go, but then he heard a roar from outside the villa, followed by commotion.

"Xiao Family’s worthless son-in-law, come out and face your death right now, I heard you’re quite the fighter, so I came to meet you myself," a bellow travelled into the hall from outside.

Xiao Chubing’s brows furrowed; trouble had indeed come to their doorstep.

Ding Wanchang’s expression changed slightly as he recognized the identity of the person outside.

Ling Fan’s demeanor was indifferent, but a chill flashed in the depths of his eyes. Standing up, he said, "Let’s go and have a look!"
