'Paternity test report?'
Seeing the big words on the document, Lin Cheng's eyes moved slightly.
"This is the appraisal report of you and that little, uh, Lin Momo." Wang Zhou said at the right time.
Lin Cheng said nothing, but opened the appraisal report in his book with an expressionless face.
When he turned to the last page and saw the last line of bold and black conclusion "The identification shows that the two parties are 99.999...% parent-child", although Lin Cheng's face was tense and no expression could be seen, Wang Zhou at the side clearly saw that their eldest master trembled at that moment.
Lin Cheng's mouth was pursed into a straight line. He stared at the paternity test in the picture without saying a word.
The car suddenly became quiet.
"Young Master?" Wang Zhou called Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng did not respond.
Wang Zhou called out again, but Lin Cheng still ignored him.
Seeing this, Wang Zhou suddenly felt unsure.
Wang Zhou carefully looked at Lin Cheng, and his mind began to speculate rapidly: Their young master was silent at this moment. Was he unable to accept this fact? Or was he unwilling to accept Lin Momo as she was? Or did he simply not believe the appraisal result
"It can't be that he was stunned by this sudden 'surprise'..." Wang Zhou muttered to himself.
But he didn't know that Lin Cheng was indeed a little confused at this moment.
Surprise, surprise, and an indescribable emotion intertwined in Lin Cheng's mind, making him unable to recover for a moment.
"Master," Wang Zhou called again, and explained in a low voice: "This paternity test was indeed taken from your and Lin Momo's DNA. It is indeed the result obtained by the identification center. There is no fraud."
At this time, Lin Cheng finally came back to his senses, nodded, and responded: "I know."
Lin Cheng did not doubt the authenticity of this paternity test.
—Since Wang Zhou dared to give this report to me, there must be no falsification.
only…
Lin Cheng frowned with a complicated expression, and his mind recalled an extremely unpleasant experience that he was very reluctant to recall.
That happened ten years ago.
At that time, Lin Cheng had not yet returned to the Lin family.
At the beginning, Lin Cheng, who had just returned to China, had no support from the Lin family, no stable income, and even encountered many setbacks in the process of job hunting and starting a business, so he did not have a good life.
Later, by chance, Lin Cheng became an artist of Xingshi Entertainment.
Soon after his debut, Lin Cheng became famous.
Lin Cheng was invited to be the finale singing guest of "Starry Night".
After the performance, Lin Cheng originally planned to leave directly, but was taken to the company's celebration party by his agent at the time.
Amid the crowd's jeers, Lin Cheng punished himself by drinking three cups of wine and then left.
However, before he even walked out of the venue, Lin Cheng felt dizzy and confused.
The 'drunk' Lin Cheng was helped by several assistants back to his temporary room in the hotel, after which he fell unconscious.
When Lin Cheng woke up for the next time, the room was in a mess and he himself was in a rather embarrassing condition.
It was obvious that someone had walked through his room and even done something to him while he was unconscious.
Lin Cheng left the hotel, and before he could call the police, negative information about him had spread all over the Internet.
Several screenshots of ambiguous conversations between him and his fans, several blurry "intimate" photos of him and others, and a surveillance video of a fan leaving his room almost confirmed Lin Cheng's infamy as a "fan cheater".
Even the on-site "evidence" collected by the police later all pointed to Lin Cheng's problem, but because there was no more evidence, the matter had to be left unresolved.
…
If anything was going to happen, it could only be what happened that night.
Lin Cheng thought to himself.
Thinking back to the present from that memory, Lin Cheng glanced at Wang Zhou and asked, "What did you find out about what happened to me in the hotel ten years ago and Lin Momo's life experience?"
Hearing Lin Cheng's question, Wang Zhou was stunned and secretly surprised: He hasn't said it yet, how does the young master know that they are already investigating the previous incident and Lin Momo's matter
Lin Cheng glanced at Wang Zhou indifferently.
Since the old man has asked people to investigate his parent-child relationship with Lin Momo, then, given the old man's character, he will definitely ask people to investigate what happened back then.
"About the incident ten years ago, we did find some things that seemed a little strange." Wang Zhou said as he took out a piece of information from the computer and handed it to Lin Cheng.
The first page of information is a photo of the person.
The person in the photo is the one who appeared in the indecent photos of Lin Cheng that were circulated online, as well as in the surveillance video.
It was obvious that the incident was tampered with, and many things could not be found any useful clues after investigation. Therefore, Wang Zhou's people could only find the surveillance video and start investigating the identity of the person in the video.
"This person is called Huang Xueman. Ten years ago, she was a student at the Medical University in City N. She is also a fan of you, Young Master..."
Wang Zhou did not mention the word "fans".
To be precise, Huang Xueman is not a fan of Lin Cheng in the normal sense.
When Lin Cheng became popular, he gained a lot of fans overnight.
In order to "chase stars", Huang Xueman traveled thousands of miles from City N to City C. She carved Lin Cheng's name on her chest with a knife, took photos and sent them to Lin Cheng's private message, followed Lin Cheng wherever he went, followed his car, and squatted outside Lin Cheng's residence... In short, she did a lot of crazy and extreme things.
"After Huang Xueman knew where your hotel was, she had been waiting near the hotel. Later, she accidentally found your room card, so she had the opportunity to break into your room."
"Those 'intimate photos' posted online were probably taken on that night."
"In addition, we also found out that Huang Xueman dropped out of school shortly after returning to the Medical University in City N, and then disappeared for nearly a year." After a pause, Wang Zhou continued, "During the year she disappeared, it seems that she stayed in City C for one or two months, and later went out of City C once."
"After that, Huang Xueman seemed to be taken abroad by her parents."
After listening to Wang Zhou's report, Lin Cheng's eyes darkened slightly.
"So, what you want to say is that I had sex with that guy in the hotel that night, and that's why Lin Momo was born?" Lin Cheng's face didn't look good.
“Not necessarily.” Wang Zhou said.
Lin Cheng frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"We found the entire surveillance video, and it shows that the time it took Huang Xueman to enter the room and come out was actually not long."
In such a short period of time, that person not only wanted to take those "intimate photos" with Lin Cheng, but also had sex with him. The time was simply not enough.
So maybe something closer to the truth is...
"After Huang Xueman entered your room, she probably improvised and used some... some compulsory means to obtain your..."
After all, Huang Xueman was indeed sending private messages crazily saying that she wanted to give birth to a child for Lin Cheng.
And then, she hurriedly left the hotel, which seemed to confirm this.
Huang Xueman's birth and Lin Momo's birth may have been accidents.
However, it was not a surprise that Lin Cheng was hacked. It was obvious that Lin Cheng was deliberately framed.
Even if Huang Xueman knew the hotel and room number where Lin Cheng was staying at that time, given the hotel's management and the importance the company attached to Lin Cheng at the time, it would have been impossible for her to sneak into the hotel and get close to Lin Cheng so easily, and it would have been even more impossible for her to "accidentally" pick up Lin Cheng's room card.
Obviously, someone knew about the existence of illegitimate fans like Huang Xueman, and deliberately gave these illegitimate fans the opportunity to enter Lin Cheng's room.
Later, Huang Xueman successfully approached Lin Cheng.
The people behind the scenes took advantage of all this, erased the real evidence during the time when Lin Cheng was unconscious, and then forged evidence of his "cheating fans".
From the beginning to the end, this was a conspiracy that had been planned long ago, and the purpose of the person who did all this was nothing more than to destroy Lin Cheng.
"Who could it be..." Wang Zhou murmured.
—Who on earth had the ability to plan all this without Lin Cheng being aware of it, not only being able to do whatever he wanted to do to Lin Cheng, but also being able to successfully get the spare room card for Lin Cheng's room...
The most important thing is: who hates Lin Cheng so much that he wants to use this method to ruin Lin Cheng's reputation.
"Young Master, do you remember whether you had any feud with anyone in the entertainment industry, or any major competition with anyone?" Wang Zhou asked.
Lin Cheng didn't say anything, but tapped the armrest of the car seat with his fingertips, as if he was also thinking about this problem.
“It’s not necessarily all about connections in the entertainment industry.” Lin Cheng said in a deep voice.
Wang Zhou was stunned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Lin Cheng did not answer Wang Zhou's question, but just said: "Continue to investigate."
"Go directly to Binjiang Yipin." When the car reached a fork in the road, Lin Cheng instructed the driver in the front row.
"Young Master, aren't you going to wait for the old man to come?" Wang Zhou asked.
"No."
"But the old man..."
"Since his heart is not in good condition, let him rest at home." Lin Cheng said without allowing any objection.
After a pause, Lin Cheng said again: "I will take care of the other things."
Wang Zhou didn't dare to refute Lin Cheng's opinion, so he had to shut up.
—
The car quickly arrived at Lin Cheng’s apartment building.
Watching Lin Cheng getting in the car, Wang Zhou hesitated and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally held back.
—Originally, Wang Zhou was worried that after Lin Cheng knew the reason for Lin Momo's birth, he would mind and dislike the child.
But just now, when Lin Cheng was holding Lin Momo in the car, Wang Zhou noticed that the sleeping Lin Momo seemed to be uncomfortable with the sudden shaking and grumbled. Hearing Lin Momo's grumble, Lin Cheng's arms holding her stiffened for a moment. Afterwards, it could be seen that Lin Cheng very carefully adjusted his posture to allow Lin Momo to sleep more comfortably.
These small details, whether out of love for the child or the instinctive care for the child as a father, at least prove that Lin Cheng does not mind this child.
Wang Zhou felt relieved, and couldn't help but look at Lin Cheng's back as he held Lin Momo.
Lin Cheng seemed to be inexplicably afraid to look at the baby he was carrying, so his movements while holding Lin Momo were a little stiff. From behind, it was a little funny.
—
On this side, Lin Cheng carried Lin Momo back home and put Lin Momo in her room.
This room was the 'bedroom' that Chen Yu and others had arranged for Lin Momo when they were recording the pilot episode of the show. After that, Lin Cheng had not touched the room and the entire layout of the room remained the same as before.
With no one else around, Lin Cheng looked at the child on the bed. He seemed to have finally come back to his senses from his previous dazed and confused state, and began to realize that this child was really his.
Looking at this face that looked too much like his own, Lin Cheng's expression was somewhat complicated.
Although he had always known that this child looked like him, the feelings before and after he knew that Lin Momo was his biological child were two completely different things.
Looking at Lin Momo at this moment, Lin Cheng felt an indescribable emotion surging in his heart.
In short, it's amazing.
After covering Lin Momo with the quilt, Lin Cheng did not leave immediately. Instead, he sat beside her and stared at Lin Momo for a long time.
—
After a while, Lin Momo was still sleeping, but Lin Cheng took out his mobile phone and searched the Internet for a question that he himself thought was very stupid.
What difference does it make whether the child is your own or not
As soon as this anonymous question came out, it quickly attracted the attention of netizens.
Don’t you know whether the child is yours or not
Some people don't know if their children are their own? What a weird question.
I understand. Brother, you are not suspecting that you are being cheated on, right
Love is a light~
Lao Wang next door sent a congratulatory message.
…
After asking this stupid question, Lin Cheng wanted to quit directly, but when he saw that the topic was getting more and more off topic, Lin Cheng couldn't help it and replied: It has nothing to do with this question.
What is that? Someone soon asked.
Yes, then what does the questioner mean by this
In fact, there is no need to ask whether the child is yours. Just think whether he looks like you or not.
I agree with what the previous poster said. Don't worry about whether the child is open or not. Your own child is just like you. They have been alike all their lives, and you feel that they are alike and familiar when you look at them.
—It does look alike.
Looking at the words of netizens, Lin Cheng nodded with realization.
There is another difference. When other children act naughty, you will feel annoyed, but when it comes to your own children, you will find them cute even if they are naughty. Even if you are furious at the time, you will still find them cute and acceptable after a while.
And, even if your child is ugly, he is still the most beautiful one in your eyes. Even if he is not beautiful, he is still the cutest. Don't ask why, the power of blood is so magical.
My child is very sensible. Lin Cheng responded to a netizen's words.
Glancing at Lin Momo from the corner of his eye, Lin Cheng replied: My child is naturally beautiful.
Look, this is my biological child!
They are definitely his biological children, there is no doubt about it.
…
After quickly scanning the netizens' replies, Lin Cheng seemed to realize that he had done something very boring, so he put away his phone.
After taking a look at Lin Momo, Lin Cheng stood up and left the room.
Arriving at the study, Lin Cheng made a few phone calls and started to deal with business.
—
On the other side, the Lin family.
Upon learning that Lin Cheng took Lin Momo home by himself and did not let Wang Zhou notify him or go to see her, Mr. Lin was furious.
Seeing the old man's unhappy face, Wang Zhou quickly comforted him: "The eldest young master didn't let you go because he was worried about your health. Too much emotional fluctuation will affect your health."
Hearing this, Mr. Lin snorted coldly: "Worried about me? I think he is just worried that I might snatch away our little Momo."
Speaking of this, Mr. Lin suddenly stopped being angry.
Although Lin Cheng's performance as a father in the show was not even up to the passing grade, the old man was still very satisfied with Lin Cheng's performance of rescuing Lin Momo in time this time.
Seeing the change in the old man's expression, Wang Zhou on the side smiled secretly and said, "I heard that the eldest young master called Wang Ming before."
Wang Ming and Wang Zhou have similar jobs in the Lin family, the difference is: Wang Zhou is mainly responsible for some dark and internal affairs of the Lin family, while Wang Ming is mainly responsible for handling and coordinating the Lin family's business and relationship affairs.
A long time ago, Grandpa Lin had intended to let Lin Cheng take over the Lin family. Unfortunately, some previous events had created a rift between Lin Cheng and Grandpa Lin, and he was very averse to the Lin family. Therefore, Lin Cheng had rejected Grandpa Lin's request more than once.
In the following years, it was still Mr. Lin who used excuses such as poor health and uncertainty to force Lin Cheng to do so, and only then did Lin Cheng gradually take over part of the Lin family's business.
Now, Lin Cheng's initiative to contact Wang Ming meant that he had already planned to take over the Lin family.
Hearing Wang Zhou's words, Old Master Lin snorted again and said, "Before, I asked him to take over, but he refused. Now he thinks of the Lin family's usefulness?"
"Master, does this count as the father being stronger because of his son?" Wang Zhou said.
"A father is strong because of his love for his wife... Humph! What have you been doing before?" Old Master Lin pretended to be dissatisfied and muttered again, but in reality, the smile on the corner of his mouth could no longer be hidden.
Wang Zhou, who was standing by, had already seen through the old man's thoughts. He smiled secretly but did not expose him.
"How did you deal with those beasts?" Grandpa Lin asked again.
The "beast" referred to was naturally the organizer of the "Moonlight Poetry Meeting" and the guests.
"The operators of the Moonlight Poetry Club, the staff involved in the special services, the guests, and Zhang Xiaoqiang have all been taken into custody by the police. In addition, other guests who participated in other special services at the club and whose consumption records were recorded have also been arrested."
"The trial still needs to go through the process." This process will take some time.
"However, the news we got from them is that, considering the huge impact of the incident and the serious circumstances, the trials of those people will be very severe." Among those people, many will face the death penalty, and even if others are spared the death penalty, they will definitely end up in prison for the rest of their lives.
"In addition, the police will report this case as soon as possible." Wang Zhou said.
In other words, there is no need to wait for the trial results to come out, the evil deeds of those beasts will be made public.
"You deserve it!" said Old Master Lin angrily.
Thinking of how Lin Momo was almost poisoned by those scumbags, Mr. Lin suddenly felt distressed.
"I don't know if our little Momo was frightened or not, and what's wrong with her now..." The old man said dissatisfiedly, "That kid didn't let me go to see him, but he didn't even call me to tell me what happened."
"The young lady should be fine. She probably hasn't woken up yet." Wang Zhou said.
Old Master Lin pursed his lips, looked at Butler Zhou beside him, and asked, "Why hasn't the decorator I asked you to find arrived yet?"
"I've come over to take a look and am working on the design plan." Butler Zhou replied.
Ever since the old man watched the live broadcast and "determined" that Lin Momo was his great-grandson, he began to instruct the family to clean up the best room on the second floor and prepare it as a room for Lin Momo.
Later, the old man felt that the room was not nice enough, so he hired a decoration company to redecorate the room according to the child's style.
"Let them go quickly." said Mr. Lin.
"Okay, I'll go and urge them."
Old Master Lin reluctantly nodded, and when he reached the door, he stopped again and said to Butler Zhou: "By the way, let's ask them to design our garden and make it beautiful. Also, let's install a swing."
When Lin Momo was recording the show, she was staring at a picture of a swing on a promotional leaflet.
Others might not have noticed this scene, but Mr. Lin kept it in mind.
