CHAPTER 784: CHAPTER 784: THE UNEXPECTED PERSON

Hospital.

Fu Shu stayed at Su He Bay for a night, and as soon as she woke up, Chen Jin took her to the hospital.

They said it was a check-up, but she heard the nurse telling her to prepare for surgery.

She stood in the ward, utterly stunned and unable to believe what she heard.

Gong Chen actually loves Lin Zhiyi so much that he doesn’t even want his own child.

For a moment, Fu Shu actually felt a bit jealous of Lin Zhiyi.

But before she could dwell on it, the nurse already handed her the clothes.

"Change into these clothes, get ready, we’re going into the operating room. Don’t be afraid, it’s early in the term and it’s painless, you’ll hardly feel anything."

The nurse’s tone was cold, even somewhat perfunctory.

It seemed she was long used to such things as abortions.

Fu Shu felt a chill all over upon hearing this, and she wanted to leave while she had the chance.

She just opened the door, only to find Chen Jin standing outside with bodyguards.

Chen Jin looked at her indifferently and said sternly, "Miss Fu, you’re still young. Even if you have a child, it wouldn’t be related to the Third Young Master, so why be tied down by the child?"

Fu Shu could only close the door and retreat back into the room.

After the nurse urged her again, she could only pick up her coat and head to the bathroom.

"I’ll change in the bathroom."

"Then hurry up."

After saying that, Fu Shu quickly ducked into the bathroom and took out her phone from the coat pocket.

"Brother, the Third Young Master is forcing me to have an abortion."

"Impossible, the Third Young Master isn’t the type of person to be irresponsible. If there’s a child, he would definitely take full responsibility." Fu Bin clearly didn’t believe it.

Fu Shu lowered her voice and said, "Chen Jin said the Third Young Master wants to win back Lin Zhiyi, so it’s impossible to keep the child as a hindrance to them."

Fu Bin was silent for a moment.

"I understand, try to stall for time."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Fu Shu started to slowly change her clothes.

No matter how the nurse shouted outside, she only said to wait a moment.

Once she was dressed and came out, she hadn’t even steadied herself before her arms were grabbed.

She looked up at the person opposite her and struggled, "Assistant Chen, what do you mean by this? I’m still pregnant!"

Chen Jin didn’t give any heed to her words, looking at her coldly.

"Miss Fu, the time has come. I will personally escort you to the operating room."

"No, you can’t do this, let me go! I’m carrying the Third Young Master’s child!"

Fu Shu struggled fiercely, barely managing to free one of her hands.

While the others hadn’t reacted yet, she reached into her coat pocket and redialed Fu Bin’s number.

This way, Fu Bin would know just how urgent the situation was.

In the next second, Fu Shu was controlled again.

Chen Jin approached her, speaking lowly, "Miss Fu, don’t say such things randomly. The Third Young Master has never acknowledged the child is his. If you persist in your delusion, don’t blame me for not being polite."

Fu Shu paused, stunned.

"I want to see the Third Young Master! I don’t believe he would be this heartless!"

Chen Jin raised a hand to gesture, "Take her to the operating room."

"Yes."

Fu Shu was powerless to resist, being forcefully escorted into the operating room.

Standing outside, Chen Jin glanced at his watch.

Soon, Fu Bin charged into the operating room with people.

"Stop! Who allowed you to perform surgery on her!"

As his voice echoed, they saw neither doctors nor nurses inside.

Only Fu Shu, gagged and held in a chair.

Fu Shu and Fu Bin exchanged glances and instantly realized they had both been deceived.

They simultaneously looked towards that figure.

At this time, two figures walked out from behind the screen.

Gong Chen and Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi looked at the figure behind Fu Bin, shocked.

"Jiang... Old Mr. Jiang?"

How could it be him?

Lin Zhiyi had always thought Old Mr. Gong was behind this.

He never expected it to be Old Mr. Jiang, who cared the most for Gong Chen.

Old Mr. Jiang sighed and slowly approached.

"It’s me." He stared at Gong Chen, "I should have known you’d be unwilling to accept the child so easily, but how did you discover it?"

Gong Chen’s gaze shifted, fixing on Fu Bin.

Fu Bin was somewhat astonished, having been cautious and left no clue.

Gong Chen said, "Fu Bin is capable and would thrive in any company, but he chose to be a mere employee at Jiang’s."

Hearing this, Fu Bin quickly explained.

"Third Young Master, I just thought Jiang’s would surely regain its glory, that’s why I chose Jiang’s. Besides, I’ve always worked diligently and made no mistakes. Is even that wrong?"

Gong Chen said casually, "Working hard isn’t wrong. The mistake is in being too eager."

"Standing out too much revealed that your abilities were explicitly trained following Jiang’s business model."

"Not many can both understand Jiang’s and train you."

As he spoke, Gong Chen turned his gaze to Old Mr. Jiang.

He paused, self-mockingly, "Uncle, you don’t trust me."

The Fu siblings were trained by Old Mr. Jiang.

Fu Bin quickly established himself at Jiang’s, taking on important roles.

Not only to support Jian Xi and Jiang Siyi in the future but also to guard against Gong Chen’s divided loyalties.

Old Mr. Jiang furrowed his brows, "It’s not like that. Of course, I trust you, but you’re working too hard, which is why I had Fu Bin join Jiang’s to learn from you."

"Sneaking in?" Gong Chen said coldly.

"The Jiang Family hasn’t firmly established itself in Jing City yet. If I lay my cards too early, it would only invite vulnerabilities, which is why I had Fu Bin falsify his resume to enter Jiang’s."

"So, the elders who interviewed Fu Bin all knew his identity, except that it was hidden from me?" Gong Chen retorted.

Old Mr. Jiang was taken aback, lips moving a few times, with a faint bitter smile.

"Gong Chen, you still get straight to the point. We did deliberately hide it from you, but it wasn’t to guard against you, it was to guard against the Gong Family. They’re too cunning."

"I have the surname Gong too."

"..."

Old Mr. Jiang was speechless.

Gong Chen looked at him with an inscrutable expression, his eyes like bottomless, dried-up wells.

Calm and devoid of light.

The Gong Family used him, never expecting the Jiang Family to use him too.

But without exception, everyone guarded against him.

Lin Zhiyi walked to his side, holding his hand tightly.

Gong Chen lowered his gaze toward her, his eyes flickering, as he held her hand in return.

Seeing this, Old Mr. Jiang’s expression became particularly complex.

He gestured to Fu Bin, "Go and release Xiao Shu."

Gong Chen raised his hand, "Wait, I didn’t say she could leave."

Fu Bin, anxious, said, "Third Young Master, my sister is also a victim in this, the child is innocent too. You have no right to deprive my sister of her reproductive rights."

"Oh?" Gong Chen turned to look at Fu Shu, signaling Chen Jin to remove the cloth from her mouth, and asked, "Fu Shu, are you sure you want to have this child?"

Fu Shu opened her mouth to plead.

But under Gong Chen’s cold gaze, she felt as if she had no secrets.

Only fear spread upward from her feet.

Fu Bin’s eyes urged Fu Shu to speak.

Fu Shu’s lips trembled, but she couldn’t say a word.

At this moment, Old Mr. Jiang raised his hand to interrupt.

With the authority of an elder, he stared at Gong Chen.

"She must give birth, it’s your bloodline!"

Gong Chen met his gaze, "What if I refuse to acknowledge it?"

Old Mr. Jiang clenched his fist in anger, "Gong Chen, you’re too disappointing! You dare to be so irresponsible, this is your own flesh and blood! If you don’t acknowledge it, then our Jiang Family will!"

Gong Chen’s eyes sharpened, letting out a laugh.

No one understood.

Standing on the sidelines, Lin Zhiyi couldn’t and wouldn’t hold back.

"Enough! You acknowledge? Then please tell, Old Mr. Jiang, what surname would the child bear?"
