The Truth Behind the Fate Swap Was Truly Hard to Put Into Words

Chen Jun placed the documents requiring signatures before Father Chu and casually asked, "Secretary Li has been coming by quite often lately. Is there some project going on?"

As Father Chu's most trusted subordinate, Chen Jun handled many of his affairs on his behalf. To avoid alerting the enemy, Father Chu had not transferred him away even after learning the truth, so Chen Jun had witnessed every one of Secretary Li's visits to report on the investigation's progress.

"You've been too busy lately, so I had her handle some minor matters." Father Chu's heart skipped a beat at the question, but he remained calm on the surface. He casually signed the documents, then assigned Chen Jun other tasks.

Fortunately, Chen Jun did not grow suspicious. He took the documents and left.

Only after confirming that he had gone did Father Chu open the file folder. Inside were Chen Jun's personal records and a paternity test.

Although his father had never been particularly devoted to one woman, he would not casually father children, much less tolerate his bloodline being left outside. Father Chu had therefore harbored some doubts about Chen Jun's supposed status as an illegitimate child and had specifically obtained samples for testing.

Father Chu slowly pulled out the test report. Sure enough, the bottom of the report clearly stated that while the two samples shared some genetic similarities, they were not father and son.

In other words, Chen Jun was not an illegitimate child of the Chu Family at all!

The tension in Father Chu's heart finally eased somewhat. He immediately began reviewing the rest of the materials, his brow drawing tighter the more he read.

There were some discrepancies from Su Minghui's version, but the overall story was largely the same.

Chen Jun's mother had indeed worked at Chu Corporation, but she had only been a low-level employee. She had never had the slightest intersection with Old Master Chu in either life or work. If there was anything to say about her, it was that she was particularly fond of daydreaming.

She loved watching soap operas. After watching too many, she came to believe that she too would become the heroine of a TV drama someday—mysteriously adored by a rich young heir, then married into a wealthy family and rose to the pinnacle of life.

Old Master Chu had still been young back then. He was a famous wealthy young master and also Chen Jun's mother's boss, so he naturally became the object of her fantasies.

Not only did she collect company posters printed with Old Master Chu's photograph, she even picked up the water he drank and the tissues he used during meetings and brought them back to her room to worship. In such a mental state, she naturally could not contribute much at work. Before long, Chen Jun's mother was persuaded to resign because of her poor performance.

On the day she was let go, Chen Jun's mother was in an extremely bad mood. She went alone to a bar to drown her sorrows, drank until she blacked out, and eventually woke up naked in a room at an unfamiliar hotel. Apart from her, the room was empty.

If this had happened to a normal person, they would have gone to the police immediately. But Chen Jun's mother was not normal. She firmly believed that the man who had spent the night with her was her dream lover—the heir of the Chu Family.

As it happened, that very night resulted in Chen Jun.

After becoming pregnant, she began seeking out Old Master Chu, wanting to share the good news with him. Of course, Old Master Chu was not someone she could see whenever she wanted, and she was thrown out without any suspense.

But Chen Jun's mother was astonishingly persistent in this regard. Her frequent visits and increasingly swollen belly drew much attention. After investigating, Old Master Chu discovered that the man who had spent that night at the hotel with her was a distant relative from the Chu Family. Seeing that she was pitiful, he could only have someone give her money to terminate the pregnancy and warn her that if she came to harass them again, they would call the police and have her thrown in prison.

Only then did Chen Jun's mother stop.

She treated that money as the "breakup fee" Old Master Chu had given her, moved away with it, and gave birth to Chen Jun alone.

After Chen Jun was born, his mother began decades of brainwashing. Tirelessly, she recounted the moving love story between herself and the heir of Chu Corporation, then sincerely cursed the Chu Family for being so heartless that they had driven out a weak, pregnant woman and left her to fend for herself.

Whenever she saw Old Master Chu and the Old Madam appear together, she went especially mad. She claimed that it was because this woman had monopolized Old Master Chu that she and her son had ended up in their current circumstances.

After all, in her delusions, she and Old Master Chu were true love, while his marriage to the Old Madam was merely one of mutual interest. The reason they would not let her enter the family was because they feared that wife from a prestigious family and the son she had already borne.

Growing up in such an environment, Chen Jun became firmly convinced that he was blood of the Chu Family left outside. His resentment and sense of injustice toward the Chu Family grew by the day, which was what led to his later revenge through swapping fates.

The truth of the story did not bring Father Chu the slightest relief. His expression was grim—his son had endured so many years of suffering because of such an absurd lie and had nearly lost his life several times. It was utterly ridiculous!

Without saying a word, Father Chu gathered all the materials. Now, all they lacked was a truly capable master to launch their final counterattack.

After returning home, Father Chu showed the materials to Fu Siwen. When it came to finding a master, the first person Fu Siwen thought of was one previously recommended by a friend. But when she asked, she learned that the master was secluded in the mountains cultivating and would not emerge for another half year. Chu Xuan obviously could not wait that long, so they had no choice but to abandon the idea.

When others heard that the Chu Family was looking for someone, they recommended quite a few moderately famous masters of mysticism. At first, those people flocked over for the Chu Family's money. Yet after seeing Chu Xuan, every one of them fled in a hurry, all saying that the person who had swapped his fate was not someone they could afford to provoke.

Gradually, no one even came to their door anymore, because no one was willing to wade into this muddy water.

The more they acted this way, the heavier the couple's hearts became. After all, this concerned Chu Xuan's life. The stronger their enemy appeared, the less confidence they had.

For a time, the matter reached a stalemate.

Although Chu Yanxiao was still young, he watched people coming and going through the house every day and vaguely understood something. He ran over and tugged on Fu Siwen's sleeve as she sighed. "Mommy, don't be sad. My little wife is an immortal, a very powerful immortal. We can ask him to help big brother!"

My little wife was so pretty, and he could even whisper secrets that only I could hear. Wasn't that exactly like the fairy sprites from the fairy tales Mommy told him?

The couple exchanged a look.

Fu Siwen actually took his words seriously. "That's right, how could we forget our godson?"

Father Chu still found it hard to believe. "Lele is still just a baby. The other party is someone so many people avoid. Can he really do it?"

"The masters all said that Lele is Xuanxuan's destined benefactor. And look at Xuanxuan's health—hasn't he been getting better day by day ever since he met Lele?"
