Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 859: Chapter 859: Are You Sure No One Survived?

"What did you say?" Lian Tong couldn’t help but dig her ears, thinking she had misheard.

Lian Qingyang proudly lifted his head and said, "Aunt, Xiao Yue and I are biological siblings. I am the biological son of Dad and Zhang Hualian, and also the twin brother of Sister Xiao Yue."

Lian Qingyang feared Lian Tong hadn’t understood, so he explained in great detail, his face full of pride and his beautiful eyes gleaming brightly.

"You and Xiao Yue are biological siblings? Impossible, you and Xiao Yue are half a year apart." Lian Tong felt her mind was overwhelmed and couldn’t help but say, "Xiao Yang, I know this fact is hard to accept, but there’s no need to make up such lies to deceive your aunt, is there?"

"Aunt has already said it, whether you’re biological or not, I will treat you as my own nephew." Lian Tong didn’t quite believe it, feeling Lian Qingyang was making up stories.

"Aunt, why don’t you believe me?"

Lian Qingyang got anxious, using both hands and feet, wishing he could transfer everything in his head to his aunt’s, so she would no longer doubt him.

"You and Xiao Yue are really siblings?" Lian Tong looked at Lian Qingyang in astonishment.

"Yes, no mistake. Zhang Hualian and I even did a DNA test." Lian Qingyang regretted a bit at that moment, for having forgotten to bring the DNA test results.

"Impossible, we also did a DNA test for you and your dad." Lian Tong furrowed her brows, seemingly unable to comprehend something.

Lian Qingyang was taken aback, then reminded, "Aunt, could someone have tampered with it? If you don’t believe it, we can do the test with Dad again."

"Alright." Lian Tong couldn’t wait for a moment longer and immediately called Lian He.

Lian He hadn’t arrived yet, but Xiang Yazhi had woken up. Lian Qingyang immediately stood up and said, "Aunt, Shen Jing is the mastermind behind it, Xiang Yazhi was kept in the dark. However, Xiang Yazhi should also know what Shen Jing did, which is why they were silenced. We need to find a way to get Xiang Yazhi to testify against Shen Jing."

"What deep-seated hatred does Shen Jing have against our Lian family?" Lian Tong was puzzled, unable to comprehend, so she simply said, "Xiao Yang, who told you this?"

Although Lian Qingyang wasn’t stupid, his mind wouldn’t come up with such elaborate plans.

"Brother-in-law." Lian Qingyang confessed truthfully.

Lian Tong nodded, exchanged a glance with Gu Chun, and said, "Xiao Yang, not to hide from you, recently Shen Jing has been targeting our Lian Group. Our hotel and jewelry company are under investigation because of Shen Jing."

This was just two places; there were other areas with whispers of Shen Jing’s influence, so Lian He and Lian Tong had been busy with these matters, and even Wu Xin had been secretly tailing Shen Jing.

"Do you need my help?" Lian Qingyang immediately inquired.

"No need, business is like a battlefield. Your modest ability isn’t needed for now, but..." Lian Tong suddenly smiled and said, "You mentioned Xiang Yazhi knows Shen Jing’s secrets, maybe, it could be of use."

Gu Chun and the others had been investigating Shen Jing but couldn’t find key evidence, thus unable to justifiably arrest and imprison him.

"Alright, Aunt, let me speak with her later."

Lian Qingyang had been taught by Meng Siyu before, so he felt he was the best candidate.

Before long, Lian Qingyang went into the room.

Lian Tong and Gu Chun stood waiting outside the door, staring at the tightly closed door. Lian Tong couldn’t help but murmur, "Gu Chun, do you think Xiao Yang was lying to us just now?"

"Tongtong, you already have the answer in your heart." Gu Chun smiled, knowing Lian Tong very well.

Suddenly, Lian Tong smiled and said, "Yes, Xiao Yang isn’t someone who lies, and there’s no need to lie about such things. Why do I feel like I’m dreaming?"

"No, it’s like a roller coaster, with my heart going up and down."

Lian Tong clutched her heart, from the initial discovery of Lian Qingqing’s parentage, to Lian Qingyang’s parentage, and then the reversal of Lian Qingyang’s parentage; it was just like riding a roller coaster, plunging into the depths and then soaring into the sky.

When Lian He arrived, Lian Tong and Gu Chun were standing outside the door. Lian He was in full formal attire, with the scent of alcohol on him, seemingly coming from some banquet.

"Brother, how much did you drink?" Lian Tong couldn’t help pinching her nose as Lian He approached, the strong smell of alcohol wafting over.

"Just had a meal with the head of Hongda. The issues with our hotel can be big or small, but going through the procedures takes a lot of time." Lian He had been overwhelmed with these matters recently, and although the Lian family was quite influential in Sea City, who knew this newcomer seemed to be specifically after them?

They even singled out their hotel for criticism.

"Brother, don’t worry about this now. I have something big to tell you." Lian Tong pulled Lian He to a nearby sofa to sit and said, "Brother, brace yourself."

"Go ahead." Although Lian He had been drinking, his face slightly flushed, his eyes were clear.

Lian Tong cleared her throat and said, "Brother, besides giving birth to Xiao Yue, Zhang Hualian also gave birth to Xiao Yang, so Xiao Yang is your biological son."

To ensure Lian He understood, Lian Tong explained everything from Zhang Hualian fainting during childbirth to later doing a paternity test.

She explained everything thoroughly, and Lian Tong expected Lian He to be happy, yet Lian He sat on the sofa, his eyes somewhat dazed.

"Brother, did you understand what I just said?" Lian Tong waved her hand in front of him.

"Dad."

As soon as Lian Qingyang came out, he saw Lian He and happily ran up to him, excitedly saying, "Dad, I’m your son, your biological son."

Lian He was stunned, lowering his head to see Lian Qingyang’s excited face.

It was a while before Lian He and his son’s emotions calmed down, and Lian Qingyang spoke to Gu Chun about Xiang Yazhi’s situation.

Gu Chun’s eyes lit up instantly and, despite the late hour, he immediately left.

As Gu Chun headed out, his pager went off with a message left by Wu Xin. His eyes narrowed as he saw the address, immediately realizing Shen Jing was about to leave the country.

No, he had to detain Shen Jing.

Gu Chun quickly found a phone booth and made several calls before hurrying to the airport.

Hai City Airport.

Shen Jing felt unsettled, recalling Xiang Yazhi’s frenzied look and hateful eyes before she died, sending chills down his spine.

Shen Jing called over the last man to see her and asked, "Are you sure no one survived?"

"No," the man shook his head, "there was nothing in the backyard."

Besides, with such a big fire then, and Xiang Yazhi being tied up, how could she have survived?
