A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

Everyone looked at the menacing Lu Sheng, including Lu Congyue.

Lu Sheng saw Lu Congyue immediately, walked over without saying a word, and slapped Lu Congyue.

If Lu Sheng were younger, Lu Congyue probably wouldn't have been able to avoid it, nor would he have wanted to.

But now, Lu Congyue easily dodged it with a slight movement.

Lu Sheng missed his target with a slap, his anger nearly overwhelming his reason.

"Lu Congyue, how dare you hide? Do you even know I'm your father?!"

Since ancient times, it has been considered natural for a father to beat his son; who would dare to shirk that responsibility?

"You unfilial son!" he cursed. "Why are you causing trouble for your brother again? Can't you just let him have a few days of peace?"

Lu Congyue had a cold smile on his lips and his eyes were filled with indifference.

"Should I cause him trouble?"

"What? You still want to argue now? I admit that your brother did many wrong things before, but after reform, he has decided to turn over a new leaf and start anew. He now has a child, wants to be a responsible father, and has vowed not to be as reckless as before. Isn't that enough? What more do you want from him?"

Lu Sheng looked at Lu Congyue as if he were an enemy, as if he were some heinous criminal.

Lu Congyue vaguely recalled that on the day he had to come to live with his biological father after his mother's death, Lu Sheng looked at him with the same eyes as he did now.

He shouldn't exist, he shouldn't have appeared; he disturbed his happy life!

Lu Congyue suddenly laughed.

Even though she had long since lost all feelings for her biological father and had given up all hope, she still couldn't help but feel sad when she thought about him.

"Commander Lu, you're getting old, your reactions are slow." Lu Congyue coldly mocked, "It seems you haven't even figured out some things before you're busy coming to me to interrogate me."

Lu Sheng, at his age, knows he's getting old, so he's most afraid of people saying he's old. But his eldest son, in front of so many people, said he's old and slow-witted.

Lu Sheng was so angry that his hands trembled.

"Sir, please take care of yourself." The guard, fearing something might happen, hurriedly advised him and gave Lu Sheng two pills to take.

Lu Sheng was also afraid that if he got angry again, he would die young, so he managed to suppress his anger with great difficulty.

Just as he was thinking about how to communicate with his eldest son, he saw a police officer appear carrying Xiao Chenglin.

"Oh dear, isn't this my precious grandson? Let Grandpa see him. Oh dear, why is my darling crying? Who bullied my precious grandson?"

Lu Sheng spoke enthusiastically and even reached out to take Xiao Chenglin away.

Lu Congyue reacted faster than him, dodging the attack with a single step.

"Lu Congyue!" Lu Sheng roared in fury. "This is my Lu family's child! What are you doing?"

"You're wrong. He's not your Lu family's child. He's my child!" Lu Congyue corrected him.

Lu Sheng asked incredulously, "What did you say?"

"I said, Lu Guoqiang will never have children, and he doesn't deserve to have children!"

As Lu Congyue spoke, he lifted Xiao Chenglin's clothes.

The areas covered by clothing all bore the marks of beatings.

Although it had just been dealt with, the bruised and swollen words of reproach still stung everyone's eyes.

"What a beast!" someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.

"Look what he did to Cheng Lin! How dare he have children? He's turned over a new leaf? Ha, what a pity, that's just your wishful thinking. I think he's utterly unrepentant!"

Lu Sheng had no time to deal with Lu Congyue's outburst of anger, and instead asked, "What... what exactly happened to this child?"

"Let me introduce you, this is my son Chenglin, he's a little over a year old."

Lu Sheng was really about to faint.

This child is Lu Congyue's?!

In a flash, he suddenly understood why the child had suddenly appeared in front of him.

Even if the child is Lu Congyue's, he is still Lu Sheng's grandson.

Thinking of his arrested wife and youngest son, Lu Sheng said with difficulty, "Cong Yue, no matter what happened, we're still family..."

"My family was almost beaten to death by your youngest son!" Lu Congyue warned.

Then, ignoring Lu Sheng's grim expression, he asked the police officer if he could leave, as he wanted to take his child to a large hospital for a full checkup.

"No, how can you just leave like this?" Lu Sheng stepped forward to stop him. "Release your stepmother and your brother first!"

Lu Congyue glanced at him indifferently, as if he were a stranger... no, as if he were a strange dog on the roadside, then picked up the child and walked away, ignoring Lu Sheng's shouts.

In his view, it was nothing more than impotent rage.

Not long after Lu Congyue left the police station with his son, he ran into Shang Hua, who had rushed over.

Upon seeing Xiao Chenglin, Shang Hua's eyes reddened. She immediately complained that Lu Congyue hadn't waited for her to act together. She also said that if she hadn't called her father to let him know that the Lu family had encountered trouble again, she wouldn't have known that Lu Congyue had acted so quickly.

Lu Congyue listened quietly to her complaints for a long time, and only after she calmed down did he explain the situation.

Upon hearing that Xiao Chenglin had been abused, Shanghua wanted to hold the child to see just how serious the abuse was.

Lu Congyue refused, but agreed to let her accompany him to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctor began examining Xiao Chenglin. Shang Hua personally witnessed the injuries on Xiao Chenglin's body; his buttocks even showed obvious bloodstains from being whipped.

Shang Hua was so angry she wanted to shoot the murderer, but she had to hold back.

"Chenglin, do you still remember your auntie? Let auntie hold you, okay? Auntie will hold little Chenglin and take him to his mother."

Upon hearing that he was looking for his mother, Xiao Chenglin, who had been hiding in Lu Congyue's arms and unwilling to look up, immediately raised his head, and his eyes lit up.

"Mom...Mom..." the little one managed to utter the syllables, but expressed his joy through gestures and movements.

Shang Hua picked up the child and said to Lu Congyue, who had been standing silently to the side, "Congyue, stop standing there like an idiot, it's time to go back!"

Because the investigation was not yet over, Lu Congyue and his group could not leave and had to remain in the capital.

However, Lu Congyue called Zhuang Qingxiang to explain the situation and even had Xiao Chenglin call out to his mother over the phone.

Hearing the baby's sweet, childlike voice on the other end of the phone, Zhuang Qingxiang's tears streamed down her face.

Hearing that she was crying, Lu Congyue quickly said, "It's great news that Cheng Lin has been found, so don't cry. Be careful not to hurt your eyes."

"I know," Zhuang Qingxiang choked up. "I won't cry anymore. I'll stay home and wait for you to come back."

He paused, then added, "Congyue, thank you, thank you for finding Chenglin."

Lu Congyue wanted to say that there was no need to be so polite, as Cheng Lin was also his child.

But once you start talking, you end up saying a lot, and thinking about the phone bill, I quickly hung up.

Shang Hua, who was holding Cheng Lin, couldn't help but complain, "Crying again? Cong Yue, did you find someone made of water?"

Lu Congyue pursed his lips.

Zhuang Qingxiang is indeed a delicate person, but he knows this himself.

After leaving the post office, Shang Hua noticed that Lu Congyue remained silent and said, "Congyue, I really didn't expect you to like this..."

She glanced at the obedient Xiao Chenglin, gritted her teeth, and tentatively said, "I thought you preferred a strong, down-to-earth woman who knew how to manage a household."
