Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Mu Tiantian was afraid that Xia Guiying would still feel sorry for her, so she emphasized again, "It's really not hard work. Apart from harvesting rice, I think the rest is fine."

Xia Guiying smiled and nodded, patting Mu Tiantian's head, "Just consider it exercise."

Mu Tiantian agreed with this view, "That's what I always think when I'm working. Going to the gym costs money."

Xia Guiying was amused by Mu Tiantian's metaphor.

"There was an old man in that village. His back was hunched, but he still went out to work under the scorching sun every day. He was the eldest of several brothers. His younger brothers all lived in the city and enjoyed a comfortable life, but they have all passed away. The old man, however, is still very healthy," Mu Tiantian explained.

She won't force herself to endure hardship, but she's not afraid of hardship either.

Sometimes, enduring hardship can really temper one's will.

"Really? That's amazing," Xia Guiying exclaimed.

Seeing that Mu Tiantian had started chatting with her, she was secretly delighted.

She then asked about other aspects of rural life.

Ling Jieyu went to the forensic department and obtained the paternity test report.

Although I had a feeling that there wouldn't be any mistakes, I was still slightly shocked to see the written record showing that we were related by blood.

Forensic doctor Liang said to Ling Jieyu, "Please congratulate Director Qin on finally finding his daughter."

He remembered there was another paternity test report, took it out of the drawer, and said, "By the way, Yu, you know Fu Zhenlong. If it's on your way, could you please give Fu Zhenlong this paternity test report for me? If not, I'll tell him to come and pick it up."

Ling Jieyu took another paternity test report with some surprise.

The name that was examined along with Fu Zhenlong is He Qihan.

It actually shows that they are related by blood!

He asked the forensic doctor, "Did Fu Zhenlong have you do this?"

Forensic doctor Liang nodded.

Ling Jieyu gave a meaningful smile, never expecting that Fu Zhenlong had an illegitimate child.

If this illegitimate son wants to enter the Fu Group and seize power, then Fu Zhengting's situation will be somewhat dangerous.

Suddenly, I remembered the announcement from the Fu family dismissing Fu Zhengting, which stated that a new successor would be announced later.

This successor is very likely to be this illegitimate child.

"Ah Yu, are you free now?" Forensic doctor Liang asked urgently, eager to finish his shift and rest.

Ling Jieyu nodded. "I'm going back to work in Nancheng."

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Forensic doctor Liang patted Ling Jieyu on the shoulder.

He trusted Ling Jieyu completely, which is why he felt comfortable entrusting the matter to Ling Jieyu.

He and Ling Jieyu went out together, said goodbye, and then got into their respective cars and left.

Ling Jieyu was too lazy to go back to Dongcheng Hospital. Anyway, he was going to the hospital to cultivate his relationship with Mu Tiantian after get off work, and then he would give the paternity test report to Xia Guiying.

He drove directly to the South City Hospital.

When forensic pathologist Liang was driving home and waiting at a traffic light, he felt he should tell Fu Zhenlong.

Fu Zhenlong was shocked and angry to learn that the forensic doctor Liang had given the paternity test report to Ling Jieyu.

However, since he needed help from forensic doctor Liang, he couldn't afford to lose his temper on the spot.

Fearing that Fu Zhenlong would be angry, forensic doctor Liang explained, "I thought it would be inconvenient for you to be injured, and since A-Yu said he was going that way, I handed it over to him."

Fu Zhenlong forced a smile. "It's alright, Forensic Doctor Liang. It's good to get the report sooner rather than later."

He pressed on to the key point, "The report shows they are related by blood, right?!"

"Yes," forensic doctor Liang replied truthfully.

Fu Zhenlong was taken aback.

Although this result was expected.

Even if Fu Zhengting's son dies, he still has his illegitimate son to take over the company.

If he marries his first love, then his son will naturally become the son of the Fu family.

How could he think like that!

He felt that this idea was very unfair to Fu Zhengting.

Her favorite is definitely her son, Fu Zhengting; she has no feelings for her first love's son yet.

If you want to support Ah Ting and Mu Tiantian being together, then Ah Ting must sever his father-son relationship with him.

Otherwise, given Qin Dongyang's intolerant nature, he would never have allowed Mu Tiantian and A Ting to be together.

With the son of her first love, at least she doesn't have to worry about taking over the company.

When the forensic doctor Liang saw that Fu Zhenlong hadn't spoken for a while, he assumed the call had been hung up. He glanced at his phone, but there was nothing there.

"Director Fu, I'll hang up now if there are no other problems." He saw the green light and drove away.

As he was about to hang up, Fu Zhenlong remembered a question he had overlooked and asked tentatively, "By the way, Forensic Doctor Liang, what did Ling Jieyu want with you at the forensic department?"

As soon as the question was asked, a guess immediately formed.

Sure enough, the next moment, I heard forensic doctor Liang say on the other end of the phone, "Qin Dongyang has found his biological daughter and asked me to help with a paternity test..."

He knew that Qin Dongyang and Fu Zhenlong had a conflict, but he didn't know the specifics. He didn't want to say anything, but he thought that Fu Zhenlong would definitely find out when Qin Dongyang held a family reunion banquet later.

Fu Zhenlong remained silent for a long time.

I glanced at my phone screen for a long time, and then, without realizing it, I hung up.

Fu Ziliu came out of the restroom, preparing to go to the company, when she saw Fu Zhenlong staring blankly at his phone, realizing something was wrong. She went over and asked, "What's wrong, Dad?"

Fu Zhenlong felt heavy-hearted and didn't know how to tell Fu Ziliu.

She was torn about whether or not to be honest with Fu Ziliu about having an illegitimate child.

Recalling the words Qin Dongyang said when he pulled Mu Tiantian away, her heart felt as if it were being crushed by a thousand-pound stone.

Especially Qin Dongyang's eyes, filled with extreme resentment and disgust, seemed to nail him to the pillar of shame.

"What's wrong?" Fu Ziliu pressed.

Fu Zhenlong found it difficult to speak.

Fu Ziliu had no choice but to resort to reverse psychology: "Dad, if you don't explain things to me clearly, I won't be able to concentrate on going to the company."

Fu Zhenlong knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he had to speak up. "Xiao Liu, your brother and I will both need to be hospitalized for at least a month to recover. The Fu family can't be without a manager. The announcement I had someone issue that day revealed that the new successor is actually... my first love's biological son, whom she secretly gave birth to after we broke up."

"What?" Fu Ziliu exclaimed in disbelief, her voice unusually loud.

Fu Zhenlong, fearing that outsiders might overhear, cautiously glanced towards the doorway.

The ward door was not closed, and someone could pass by at any time.

Fu Ziliu laughed in exasperation at her father's actions.

Dad is really confused.

"Are you sure it's your child?" She still refused to believe it.

"Yes, there's no mistake. Forensic doctor Liang just called me; the paternity test report is out!" Fu Zhenlong decided to be honest.

Fu Ziliu scrutinized Fu Zhenlong and asked seriously, "So, Dad, what are your plans for this son of your first love?"
