Fei Mingze then remembered that his second uncle and his first wife Zhang Ruzhen once had a child, but for some undisclosed reason, the child was abandoned.

Could it be that we have found a clue about him today?

Fei Mingze looked at everyone who was facing a formidable enemy, and then he came to his senses. It was no wonder.

A moment later, Guan Shanyue was led in by the housekeeper. Of course it wasn't him, but the person on his back.

Fei Mingze already knew his identity through his clothes.

Jiang Tunan.

No wonder Fei Jingwen suddenly asked about Jiang Tunan's background last time. No wonder he was so excited when he found out that he was adopted and not his biological child.

No wonder Lu Zichu noticed that the two of them kept looking at Jiang Tunan during the wedding. It was probably because Fei Jingwen had already told the couple about this.

It turns out that all the thoughts are here.

As soon as Zhang Ruzhen saw someone coming, she could no longer sit still and ran to the sofa, lifting her skirt.

Jiang Tunan had been placed there by the tall and strong Guan Shanyue. Guan Shanyue said to Fei Jingwen, "Master, he is very drunk. Don't worry."

Fei Jingwen waved his hand and let the person go.

Zhang Ruzhen stretched out her fingers and stroked Jiang Tunan's face in his drunken dream. Finally, she could not hold back her tears. She took a handkerchief and wiped them away silently. Then she looked back at her husband Fei Jingyuan and said, "Jingyuan, I believe he is our child."

Fei Jingwen said, "I have checked and his adoptive father is called Jiang Kuzhou."

Fei Jingyuan, "Jiang Kuzhou?"

Zhang Ruzhen's tears, which had just stopped, burst out immediately, even more violently than the first time, and she even cried out loud, "Kuzhou... then it's right - it's him, he is our child..."

Fei Mingze didn't quite understand why Zhang Ruzhen was so out of control. Moreover, she and Fei Jingyuan seemed to know Jiang Tunan's adoptive father.

There, his cell phone rang again. He picked it up and looked at it.

"My second aunt had a young lover, who was a volunteer teacher who came from Shanghai with her. But her family did not approve of their relationship. Later, her family used connections to transfer her back to Shanghai, and the two had to separate. Only then could she marry my second uncle."

Fei Mingze understood what he meant.

The nurse at Fei Jingwen's home came forward and drew Jiang Tunan's blood. During this time, Jiang Tunan raised his eyelids, but he didn't realize anything and fell asleep again.

The nurse had already drawn the blood, sealed the test tube, put it in a medical refrigerator, and handed it to Fei Mingze.

Fei Jingwen flicked the ash in the ashtray and said, "Mingze, you should go back to Longcheng early tomorrow morning and work overtime in the laboratory. Get the results as soon as possible so that your second uncle can rest assured."

Fei Mingze stood up and said, "Okay."

Fei Jingyuan said, "Mingzhe should go back too. Go to bed early."

Fei Mingzhe knew that the elders wanted to talk and were avoiding the younger generations, so he stood up and went out with Fei Mingze.

As soon as he went out, Fei Mingzhe called Du Ruofei over, took the medical refrigerator from Fei Mingze's hand, handed it to him and said, "Send the things back to your master's room. Let's have a talk."

After saying that, he took Fei Mingze to the bar in the front hall.

The manor arranged a sumptuous dinner for the guests in the hall. There was a long corridor outside the hall, and next to the corridor was a side hall. It was decorated into a very stylish tavern. The drinks inside were all brought from the underground wine cellar.

Fei Mingze's biological mother's family was originally engaged in global import and export trade, and red wine was a relatively high-end business among them, so Fei Mingze's private estate had a lot of red wine stored in the cellar. He was also influenced by the wine tasting culture on weekdays, and would take the initiative to collect some and put them here.

The two men sat down at the bar of the pub outside.

This manor is not used much on weekdays, so there are not many servants. Also for Fei Jingwen's remarriage, many functional areas here have temporarily recruited and transferred some service personnel to add atmosphere to the guests.

Fei Mingze waved his hand and asked the waiter to bring his collection, opened the bottle, and poured it into the decanter.

Fei Mingzhe asked, "How was it? Did what happened today surprise you?"

"It's OK. In fact, when my dad asked me about Jiang Tunan's background, I was already prepared."

"So what do you think of the results?"

"It depends on the results of the paternity test."

Fei Mingzhe waved his hand, "No, I'm asking for your opinion."

Fei Mingze did not answer but asked, "What about you? What do you think? You are older than me and know more about family affairs than I do. Shouldn't I ask you about this?"

"Hey...you!" Fei Mingzhe shook his head, leaned over and said in a low voice, "I think it's almost certain."

"How do you say this?"

"Oh! You haven't seen the photo of my second uncle when he was young. Jiang Tunan looks exactly like him. Otherwise, why would my second aunt say that before the blood relationship is confirmed?"

This is not an exaggeration. Fei Mingze could probably guess that Fei Jingwen accidentally saw Jiang Tunan and thought that he looked like his own brother, which is why he became interested in him.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have become suspicious first and then conducted a paternity test.

"I'm not that curious about this. What I want to know is why the child was thrown away in the first place? After all, he is the only child of my second uncle."

Fei Mingzhe's words were evasive. "I heard it wasn't my second uncle and second aunt, it was the old man..."

"The old man is going to throw him away?"

Fei Mingzhe shook his head, "No, it's——"

As he said this, he made a chopping motion with his hand, which is common in movies and TV dramas, used to implicitly indicate that someone is going to be killed.

Fei Mingze was horrified, "Grandpa suspects there's something wrong with this child?"

Fei Mingzhe nodded and lowered his voice. "At that time, Jiang Tunan—let's assume he was the child—was only two years old. He didn't cry, make a fuss, walk, talk or communicate with people. Whether from the family's experience or medical symptoms, he was abnormal."

Fei Mingze felt a little sad. He felt that his grandfather was too cold-blooded and cruel in doing this. He said, "But this is not enough to make the old man do such a cruel thing."

"He may have done something wrong, but if you knew the context, you would understand why he did it."

"What is it?" Fei Mingze had a vague ominous premonition.

"Susu was eight years old at that time, and you were less than three. It happened on the summer solstice, right here... That day, you were playing in the garden, and she saw you and came downstairs, saying she wanted a water lily in the pond and encouraged you to pick it.

"You were a little brat, and you wanted to please your sister, so you jumped into the pond to pick water lilies. The pond was very slippery, and the water was almost up to an adult's knees. You slipped and fell into the water, never to stand up again.

"She was standing by the pool laughing and never thought of saving you. If my mother hadn't seen it, you would have died that day."

Fei Mingze was a little dazed. He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, a feeling of helplessness and bitterness that fate was too powerful and he couldn't defy it, so he could only be manipulated by it.

After Fei Mingzhe finished speaking, he saw that Fei Mingze looked strange, and asked with concern, "Mingze, are you okay?"

Fei Mingze didn't want to talk and waved his hand weakly.

Fei Mingzhe knew that he was feeling upset. Seeing that it was getting late, he couldn't stay long, so he walked away, looking back every few steps.

Fei Mingze sat there for a long time, feeling heavy-hearted and indescribably upset. He saw that there was still a lot of wine in the glass, and he wanted to drink it all in one gulp and never care about the mess of old things at home again.
