In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

When he said these words, Chen Min'en was in a very low mood, and it was clear that he was really in pain because of these things.

His beloved wife had always blamed and resented him in her heart, and he himself felt guilty and remorseful. This feeling lasted for more than 20 years, and Chen Jingcheng could not imagine how much pressure Chen Min'en had endured.

Despite Chen Min'en's high status, which is so high that countless people can only look up to him, even Chen Jingcheng, although he knows that Chen Min'en is his biological father, still has a filter on Chen Min'en's identity in his heart. There is always something between them. It is not only the lack of familiarity over the years, but also the estrangement caused by the huge difference in their status.

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng felt that Chen Min'en was no different from an ordinary person; he had the same troubles as everyone else.

Chen Jingcheng looked at Chen Min'en and said softly, "Now that she's found me, she should be happy."

"Some of the negative emotions between you will also be eliminated."

"Have you already told her I exist?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Min'en remained silent for a moment before shaking his head at Chen Jingcheng.

He hadn't said anything yet because, even if he was 100% certain that Chen Jingcheng was his child, as long as the genetic test results weren't out, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance that it wasn't, Chen Min'en couldn't tell his wife. Because that woman could no longer bear the pain of hope turning into despair.

He hasn't actually told Chen Jingcheng this yet.

However, he did not intend to keep it from Chen Jingcheng.

"I haven't told her yet because the DNA test results haven't come back."

Looking at the time, Chen Min'en said, "The genetic testing report should be available in about two or three hours."

"I will only tell her about this as soon as we can be completely sure of our relationship. Otherwise, she won't be able to handle another blow."

Chen Jingcheng never expected that the reason would be like this. At this moment, Chen Jingcheng was not feeling disappointed, but rather, he could not understand it.

He always thought that since Chen Min'en had done so much for him, and treated him like his own son when they met, and even raised the banner of the second generation of the Chen family, it all seemed to be to avenge his own son.

But now, Chen Min'en says, "The genetic testing results haven't come out yet?"

Since he hasn't come out yet, we can't be completely sure about the relationship between Chen Jingcheng and him. Shouldn't Chen Min'en wait patiently for something that can't be determined?

Once it's confirmed that Chen Jingcheng is his son, and he's doing all this, isn't it? Even if he's just helping out, is it really necessary to offend people like this?

Although Chen Min'en spoke lightly, as if there was no problem at all and it was just a small matter, this was by no means a small matter; it was bound to have an impact.

This left Chen Jingcheng somewhat at a loss.

"The test results aren't out yet? So, you can't be sure I'm your son."

"Then why did you do it like that?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Min'en smiled, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and looked at Chen Jingcheng with the same loving expression as always.

It was still the same as looking at her own son.

"Do you think I don't know whether he's my son or not?"

"The moment I saw your photo, I knew you were my son. And when Zhixing told me about your background and some other details, I was even more certain."

"If all of this only gives me an 80% chance of being sure, then the moment I see you, I can be 100% certain that you are my son."

"Even if the test results say no, I will still insist on taking you to Yanjing to find the most reliable testing agency. I will be there in person to do a new test with you."

At this point, Chen Min'en chuckled and shook his head, saying, "It might sound like I'm being a bit too self-centered, but that feeling of blood connection is something I've never experienced before. My instincts tell me that you are it."

"Of course, on the other hand, even if you weren't, seeing you being wronged for no reason, seeing your promising future potentially ruined, and even your adoptive parents having to bear the consequences, would be something a person with a sense of justice should do."

"Zhixing is my old colleague, and I should have helped him in his situation."

"However, I must also tell you the truth. If it weren't for you, I might not be so angry, and the outcome wouldn't have been like this. The most likely outcome would have been to protect Zhixing and the Li family, and to clear your names. As for how Qingjiang Province will deal with the Sun family, whether it will be downplayed or something else, I can't get involved. Besides, this time, all those involved in this matter have been dealt with seriously."

"After all, this matter involves quite a few people, including more than one at the provincial or ministerial level."

"Although I am willing to help, I am not currently serving in Qingjiang. Just as you worried before, without a proper, reasonable, and necessary reason, I also need to avoid risks. That's all I can do."

"But now I have it."

Chen Jingcheng knew that Chen Min'en was telling the truth. If anyone else had handled this matter, this would have been the only way.

This involves issues concerning the scope of authority, many people and matters, and may even directly involve some people in Yanjing. It's not something that can be done casually.

Chen Min'en has done so much, so much that no one can say anything more about it.

At this moment, all Chen Jingcheng could say was, "Thank you."

"thank you."

Chen Min'en paused for a moment, looked at Chen Jingcheng, shook his head and smiled, "Between father and son, we don't talk about this."

Let's not talk about this.

Chen Jingcheng's feelings were complicated. The paternity test results hadn't come out yet, but Chen Min'en seemed to have already decided that Chen Jingcheng was his son. Was it really the connection between father and son, as he said? Or was it just wishful thinking on Chen Min'en's part, because he missed his son too much?

Chen Jingcheng didn't know, but through his short observation, he realized that having a father like Chen Min'en wouldn't be bad.

It's not just about family background and social status, but also about Chen Min'en's principles of conduct and officialdom.

Chen Min'en glanced at the time and said with a smile, "Alright, Jingcheng, you must be very tired and exhausted these days. Go and get some rest."

Just as Chen Jingcheng was about to refuse, Chen Min'en shook his head and said directly, "Jingcheng, I can see that you look very pale. If you don't want your adoptive parents to worry about your condition, I think you need to rest and recover your energy."

"Zhixing has already told you, and I can state my position here: I will not only not oppose your contact with your adoptive parents, but I will strongly support it!"

"I, Chen Min'en, am very grateful to them. I really wanted to go to the hospital with you after dawn, but you know my identity. The itinerary for both provinces is already set, and everyone is waiting for me. But don't worry, as soon as I have time, I will go there as soon as possible and thank them in person."

"Alright, go and rest now."

Chen Jingcheng looked at Chen Min'en and finally nodded. Chen Min'en's words dispelled all his doubts and made him feel extremely warm.

After Chen Jingcheng went to his room to rest, Chen Min'en looked at Li Zhixing and his expression became serious.

"Zhixing, regarding the situation in Qingjiang Province, the Qingjiang Provincial Party Committee does not have the authority to deal with Sun Lianqi and the provincial and ministerial-level officials who are close to him and involved in this matter. However, the Qingjiang Provincial Party Committee has decided to report to Beijing, and I will also, in my personal capacity, report to some senior leaders."

"The Li family, after all these years, I think they should have some evidence against the Sun family. Give it to me as soon as possible."

"I have only one request regarding this evidence: do not embellish it, do not fabricate it, I want the truth, do you understand?"
