Capítulo 786: Chapter 786: I Am Not Third Young Master’s Weakness

Are you willing to die for her?

Lin Zhiyi was taken aback by this loud question.

If that day really came, would she actually let Gong Chen die?

As she pondered, Lin Zhiyi clenched her fist.

Almost simultaneously, she and Gong Chen spoke up.

“No.”

“No.”

After saying this, they exchanged a glance and both laughed.

Gong Chen stepped back, gesturing for Lin Zhiyi to speak first.

Lin Zhiyi straightened her back and said, “I am not Third Young Master’s vulnerability. I’m not a fool; everyone knows that in the face of danger, you must learn to save yourself, not wait for others to save you. Old Man, you initially underestimated me, placing me in a weak, incapable position.”

The old man of the Jiang Family gave a mocking smile.

“Do you think avoiding the Bai Family’s schemes makes you remarkable? That’s just because Gong Chen helped you.”

“You’re wrong to say that. The truth is, Third Young Master and I collaborated inside and out to rid the public of a pest. I’ve never denied having help from others. In such an environment, it would be foolish not to seek help; I’m human, I need to survive.”

Lin Zhiyi did not fall into the old man’s verbal trap.

The old Jiang man gritted his teeth faintly: “What if you can’t avoid danger in the future? What if someone threatens you to reveal Gong Chen’s secrets by threatening your life?”

“I would tell,” Lin Zhiyi said without hesitation, “I must let the other party know my value to preserve my life. After all, if I die, everything is gone.”

“You… you truly are like that.”

The old Jiang man stared at Lin Zhiyi with an irrational gaze.

Gong Chen said calmly, “I taught her that, so she is definitely not my burden.”

The old Jiang man retorted, “What if something unexpected really happens? Would you sacrifice your life?”

Gong Chen looked at Lin Zhiyi.

“If that day truly comes, it’s just our fate.”

“Uncle, if something happens to Zhiyi and Xingxing, then nothing else matters to me, whether it’s you or that person, I don’t care.”

The old Jiang man: “…”

Gong Chen pulled Lin Zhiyi close and said in a deep voice, “Since you’re worried about my divided loyalties, I won’t manage the company affairs anymore. I’ve taught Fu Bin everything necessary, he’ll handle it well.”

Fu Bin’s heart skipped a beat.

“Third Young Master, you, you knew all along…”

“Yes, it’s just at that time I didn’t expect your sister to get pregnant, but I roughly knew your purpose around me.” Gong Chen replied steadily.

“Third Young Master…” Fu Bin lowered his head.

Gong Chen actually figured out that Fu Bin wasn’t a threat, which is why he was willing to teach him.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyi bit her lip.

Gong Chen had indeed guessed it long ago, just unwilling to accept it.

She looked at the old Jiang man: “Do you really care about your sister’s son? Or do you care that he can help the Jiang Family rise again?”

“Old Man, I’ve never expected you to accept me, I just hope you treat Third Young Master like real family.”

Before the old Jiang man could answer, Gong Chen took Lin Zhiyi and left the operating room.

After a moment of silence, the operating room door was pushed open again.

The one who entered was none other than Madam Jiang, Zhong Min.

Zhong Min saw a glass of water on the table next to her, grabbed it and splashed it on the old Jiang man’s face.

“Awake yet? What you’ve done is truly pushing Gong Chen away! You’re his biological uncle! His most trusted person!”

She looked unhappily at the Fu siblings.

“Out!”

“Yes.”

The Fu siblings exited the operating room.

The old Jiang man took out a handkerchief and wiped the water from his face.

“What are you doing?”

“Splashing some sense into you, you old fool! Gong Chen has helped you so much, even Zhiyi saved Xiao Xi and Siyi. Why can’t the two of them be together? Just for family honor? The Jiang Family has fallen; it’s fallen. You’ve already sacrificed your sister; do you have to sacrifice her only child too? You owe her, do you know that!”

After finishing, Zhong Min was already panting heavily.

That phrase “you owe her” made the old Jiang man’s face turn pale.

Zhong Min stepped forward to support him: “When Siyi was born, you secretly wiped your tears at first sight of her, because she resembled Gong Chen’s mother. She had already sacrificed enough for the Jiang Family.”

The old Jiang man’s lips moved slightly.

“You don’t understand, you don’t understand…”

“Alright, stop messing around anymore.” Zhong Min continued, “Gong Chen doesn’t acknowledge that child, and Fu Shu isn’t a childbearing machine. She’s a young girl who inexplicably gave birth to a child; what do you want her to do in the future? Pretend nothing happened?”

“…”

The old Jiang man frowned and said nothing.

But Zhong Min’s words were heard outside the door, just in time for Fu Shu to hear them.

Fu Shu clenched the hem of her dress tightly.

Actually, when she was around Zhong Min, she felt very happy.

Zhong Min was completely different from the other ladies.

Fu Shu pursed her lips and said, “Brother, have we both made mistakes?”

Fu Bin tried to remain calm.

“Xiao Shu, don’t overthink it. Everything we have today was given to us by the old man; do you want to live the way we did in the past?”

Fu Shu remained silent, just raised her hand to touch her child.

Fu Bin said, “Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

The two turned and left, and after walking a few steps, Fu Bin received a message.

He showed it to Fu Shu.

Fu Shu’s body stiffened: “How could it be like this? Does it really have to be this way?”

Fu Bin advised, “We will be careful.”

“I understand.”

…

Lin Zhiyi followed Gong Chen to Li Huan’s office.

Li Huan looked at the visitors, feeling a sense of gloom.

“What’s wrong? Who saved Fu Shu after all?”

Lin Zhiyi immediately gave him a look.

Li Huan instantly understood who it was.

“Gong… Well, that makes sense. The information on the Fu siblings is like a confidentiality contract; they even need to understand everything about Third Young Master. There’s no one else but him.”

Lin Zhiyi glanced at Gong Chen and changed the topic: “Let’s not talk about this. The biggest issue now is the child in Fu Shu’s belly. From the situation just now, the old Jiang man is convinced that the child is Third Young Master’s, indicating that he doesn’t know about Fu Shu’s deceit. So, the person who helped Fu Shu get pregnant isn’t from the old Jiang man.”

Li Huan’s expression turned grave.

If they can’t figure out whose child Fu Shu is carrying, they’ll probably have to wait for a paternity test when the time comes.

But what will happen during this time is hard to say.

As he pondered, the office door was knocked.

“Come in,” said Li Huan.

Chen Jin walked in, initially surprised by the atmosphere.

Then he walked up to Gong Chen.

“Third Young Master, here is the assisted reproduction information you asked me to investigate.”

Li Huan returned to his senses: “Assisted reproduction? Why didn’t I think of that? As expected of Third Young Master.”

Chen Jin explained, “It was Miss Lin’s idea; we actually found something.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi looked through Chen Jin’s investigation report.

“Is this Fu Shu’s medical examination? But why haven’t we heard of this hospital?”

“It’s a small private hospital; as long as you pay, they’ll do it. Fu Shu did a pre-transfer report, but…”

Before Chen Jin could finish speaking, a young nurse suddenly rushed in.

“Doctor Li, something big has happened.”
