CHAPTER 402: CHAPTER 378: DARE TO TRY NEW CHALLENGES

"Without your uncle, there would be no you!"

A few days ago, while Yuan Feng was in the intensive care unit, Madam Lai cried and said these words.

Li Zishen didn’t think much of it at the time, assuming it was just his mother’s inappropriate words due to excessive worry about his uncle, but now he realized there was another layer of meaning.

Indeed, without him, I certainly wouldn’t have come into this world, becoming my father’s son.

Li Zishen recalled the recent scene and couldn’t help but regret his behavior for being too intense, yet he felt outrage that Yuan Feng and his mother had schemed against his father.

Having lived for 25 years, it was only today that he learned he was different from others, an IVF baby!

But Yuan Min was after all his own mother.

What could he do? He couldn’t just sever ties with the person who raised him over the past, could he?

With that thought, Li Zishen headed to the department of neurology. Third Aunt Lai was hospitalized, and it was only right for him to visit, despite his mind being in turmoil.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling...

Li Zishen glanced at the screen and saw it was a hidden number, and he stopped in his tracks.

His phone was generally inaccessible to most people, let alone to receive prank calls, so the call at this moment was undoubtedly from the troublesome mastermind.

Sure enough, a familiar electronic voice came from the other end, "Feeling bad, aren’t you?"

Li Zishen was stunned for a moment, then asked warily, "How do you know that?"

"Shall we talk about cooperation?"

"Don’t even think about it!"

"Why respond so quickly?"

"Wang Junchen, I know it’s you. It’s pointless to continue hiding your identity online."

Silence ensued from the other end of the line.

Li Zishen’s thin lips curled slightly. Previously, it was all speculation, though there was some evidence, he couldn’t be absolutely sure, but now he was very certain.

The mastermind behind all this was Wang Junchen, and he was also the boss of Shen Shiyi.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about?"

Li Zishen: "..."

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to admit it. From now on... be careful when you go out. It must be hard for you having done so many things you shouldn’t have."

"Mr. Li better pray for his own fortune."

"I’m very curious about what your relationship is with Yi Xiaodan. Are you seeking revenge for her? But our Leng Family has never wronged her. Are you targeting the wrong person? Or is there... some other motive?"

"The karma one creates must always be repaid, it’s just a matter of time. What you’ve heard... might not be everything, there might be things even your uncle doesn’t know."

His words brought the atmosphere to a chilling point, causing an involuntary shiver down Li Zishen’s spine.

Li Zishen frowned, "What do you mean?"

"The game is more interesting when played slowly. Rushing to the finish line is so boring!"

"Speak, what exactly do you mean?"

"It seems, you and your father are the same, arrogantly assuming you can control everything, yet unknowingly... you’ve harmed the most innocent."

Even through the phone, Li Zishen could keenly feel Wang Junchen’s intense anger and hatred.

"Xiao Wan and I have no relations. If you dare harbor any malicious thoughts towards her, I’ll make sure your entire Wang Family pays the price. My word is as good as my deed."

"Look, look, look, losing your cool, aren’t you?"

With a burst of mocking laughter, the call was cut off, and Li Zishen angrily threw his phone down.

The phone hit the ground with a crisp sound. Under his furious gaze, the corridor suddenly fell silent, and several people involuntarily stopped in their tracks and turned to look his way.

A middle-aged man shook his head and muttered to himself, "Ah, not enough for the medical bills!"

Another middle-aged woman approached Li Zishen, intending to offer a few words of comfort, but seeing Li Zishen’s angry expression, she didn’t dare to say more and silently walked past him.

At that moment, a kind-looking elderly woman asked, "Child, what’s wrong?"

It was clear that the old lady was worried.

Li Zishen suppressed his anger and explained with a smile, "I’m fine, thank you, auntie. It’s just a minor issue, I’m just in a bad mood, nothing serious."

The old lady nodded with a worried face, indicating understanding, and slowly walked past him.

Other passersby also let go of their concerns and continued on their way. But they could not help feeling that something was off with Li Zishen, possibly because the aura around him was too intense, making people feel somewhat oppressed.

Chen Xin followed quietly and picked up the phone. He could tell from the screen that Li Zishen was in a very bad mood.
