The air in the room grew increasingly oppressive, making it hard to breathe.
Kneeling on the floor, Chen Quan could not stop trembling. Even so, he did not leave, but steeled himself and remained kneeling by the door. Today, he was determined to get an answer. At the very least, he had to know who his biological father was!
"Your father..."
The woman sitting beside the bed spoke calmly, with a hint of amusement. "...is actually Chen Fan."
"What?"
As though struck by lightning, Chen Quan froze, then looked up at his mother sitting in the chair in disbelief. "Mother... Chen Fan is only four years older than me. You..."
"I'm teasing you. I don't know who your biological father is either. When you're older, go find the answer yourself."
After Chen Quan left.
Only then did the man in white reappear in the room. Glancing at the closed door, he frowned. "What's the situation with the Chen Family Head?"
He had no interest in such trivial matters. Business came first.
The woman before him was notoriously promiscuous, a beautiful, venomous scorpion. Even though they were on the same side, he still had to watch out for her stinging him with her tail at any moment. Completely ignoring her exposed flesh, he asked in a low voice.
"Have you still found nothing?"
"Mm..."
The woman lounged lazily beside the bed, toying with an exquisite teapot. "Nothing, indeed. All I know is that he's been having Attendant Liu construct large numbers of very ordinary buildings over the years. Apart from that..."
"There's no other information."
"He must be plotting something. After all, he should have noticed something over the years, but I don't know the details of his plans. He's always been wary of me and has kept his secrets well."
