The male supporting character was actually myself.

Our protagonist was just a child from a wealthy family in a third-tier city. Although his family owned a company and he had some money to squander, he was no match for the sons of powerful families in terms of vision and methods.

Actually, my actions today were too hasty and not perfect.

Who knew the script would be updated so suddenly, and Chu Han would be immediately put in the position of the young master of the Cheng family?

Time was too tight; there wasn't enough time to plan.

My appearance was too abrupt, and my confrontation with the old lady was too quick.

If she hadn't been so focused on finding her grandson, she probably would have suspected I had ulterior motives.

If Cheng Jinglong doesn't show up by the afternoon, it means our plan has failed, and we'll have to confront Chu Han head-on that night. We'll have to clean up the mess ourselves.

Xiao Bai was completely confused, her eyes darting around. "Is it that complicated? I thought it would be a simple thing..."

"Ring ring!"

The phone rang in the luxury suite, and Jiang Chen answered it and said a few words.

After hanging up the phone, he smiled and said, "Cheng Jinglong is here. Now it's time to show off my acting skills!"

When Cheng Jinglong, whose mind was in turmoil, finally looked at the young man who had opened the door in front of him, he suddenly understood his mother's words: "You'll understand once you see it."

Sure enough, looking at the other person against the light was like traveling through a time tunnel and seeing my little brother again!

Between Jiang Chen and Chu Han, Cheng Jinglong could immediately tell who was the real one just by looking at their faces.

Watching the two collected specimens being sent into the laboratory, he once again learned about the entire process of the jade pendant's loss from Jiang Chen's narration.

Comparing this with what she had casually asked Chu Han during their conversation, their schedules matched up!

“Xiao Chen, we should have brought you back to our home right away, but the situation is a bit complicated now.” Cheng Jinglong held the newly released kinship test report, his hands trembling slightly with excitement.

Although he could tell at a glance that Jiang Chen was his nephew, he was still extremely excited to receive the irrefutable test results.

Thinking of how the imposter at home had vehemently denied having a family member authenticate the documents, Cheng Jinglong felt annoyed at being played.

"Is there some difficulty? Maybe I can help." Jiang Chen smiled confidently. "After all, my reputation as the number one arms dealer in the post-apocalyptic world is still quite valuable in certain channels."

Arms dealer?

Cheng Jinglong was a little confused. "You're in the arms business?"

"You must have heard the rumors about the Big Ivan at Base T26. It's true, I sold it to them."

Cheng Jinglong: ━━∑(￣□￣*|||━━

How come in the apocalypse, weapons are everywhere as if they appeared out of thin air?

First, there was Chu Han, whose stockpiles were more than those of the prominent families in the capital and even the military region.

Now it's his own nephew, and he's even selling off the Ivan!

They're only twenty years old, and they're already this amazing?

“That Chu Han, wearing your jade pendant, made us mistake him for you. He’s living in our house now and has become very close to other aristocratic families.”

Cheng Jinglong quickly explained, "I'm worried that he has ulterior motives, and that someone might be pushing things along behind the scenes."

In addition, he possesses powerful lightning abilities and spatial abilities, allowing him to readily produce a large number of highly lethal weapons.

I was worried that revealing the truth prematurely without being prepared would anger him and have negative consequences.

The best way is to take him to the army and guard him with heavy troops..."

Jiang Chen interrupted his troop deployment plan directly, "Chu Han does not have spatial abilities."

He snatched the jade pendant and pushed me off the train because there was a space inside the jade pendant.

Chu Han killed me in order to possess it.

"Once that jade pendant is taken away, he will lose his spatial abilities."

Cheng Jinglong froze for a few seconds again.

Since assuming the position of head of the Cheng family, he has never been shocked one after another like today.

The story of real and fake heirs, something you only see in stories, is actually playing out in your own home!

“That does match up…” Cheng Jinglong went over it again and nodded.

It makes sense that he coveted the space and tried to steal the jade pendant; that explains why Chu Han hadn't come to the capital base even after obtaining the jade pendant for so long.

Moreover, the search for his nephew was related to the death of his younger brother years ago, and the family had never dared to act openly, for fear that their enemies would find out and secretly kill him.

Apart from his trusted confidant whom he had been secretly searching for, no one else should know the truth.

Therefore, Chu Han was unaware of the identity represented by the jade pendant, which explains why he was surprised when Lao Qin and the others in T26 discovered him and tried to protect him.

It was precisely because of his natural demeanor that he concluded that Chu Han was not lying.

In retrospect, it was just a coincidence!

After discussing for a while, Cheng Jinglong hurriedly left the hotel to make arrangements.

The winter night falls very early.

Red lanterns illuminated the streets and alleys of the central area, swaying in the night breeze and adding to the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

8 PM, the main auditorium of the base.

The desolation of the apocalypse had little impact on the celebrations here.

Red carpet, crystal chandeliers, smartly dressed men in suits and elegant women in luxurious haute couture gowns—powerful and influential people from various bases gathered together.

"Tonight, I'm the absolute star!" Chu Han straightened his tie, a confident and satisfied smile on his face.

The head of the Cheng family has already begun delivering his New Year's address.

After the lengthy speech, Cheng Jinglong will announce to everyone that he has become the young master of the Cheng family.

Listening to those flowery congratulatory messages, Chu Han felt a mix of impatience and nervousness.

He could imagine the magnificent throne with his eyes closed. He had already stepped onto the last step and was just waiting for the current head of the Cheng family to say those words so that he could sit on the throne!

What follows is the dramatic scene of Cheng Jinglong's unexpected death and Cheng Jinglong securing his position as head of the family.

According to reliable sources, a mysterious arms dealer will be attending tonight.

It is said that when the T26 base was facing a life-or-death crisis, it was thanks to the firepower support of this arms dealer that they were able to overcome the difficulty of the super zombie king's siege.

Chu Han had some recollection of him; he had heard back in T26 that someone had taken a large Ivan to discuss business with the base commander.

That's a guy who can pull out the Ivan IV anytime, anywhere!

If I am fortunate enough to get to know him tonight, wouldn't things be much easier to plan in the future?

He had robbed so many places based on his memories from his previous life that he had this much stock in his spatial storage. Now he couldn't use his past experience to rob anymore; if he only gave out and didn't take in, he would eventually run out of guns and ammunition.

Therefore, it is essential to befriend powerful arms dealers.

However, the other party was too mysterious, and there was a grudge between them and the T26 base, so they were unable to find out any specific information.

Tonight, becoming the young master of the Cheng family will give me a formal identity and the right to befriend them. A powerful alliance will lead to a promising future!

Thinking of this, his eyes shone with hope.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Long Time No See, Chu Han

"Host, is there anything I can do to help?" The little white cat rubbed its fists together, eager to try. "We've finally reached the end, and I should do my part too!"

The bright light shone down, casting dark shadows through the luxurious curtains.

Sitting at the edge of the venue, Jiang Chen was completely immersed in the darkness, holding a wine glass and staring at the triumphant Chu Han.

"If you want to help, disconnect the connection between the protagonist and the jade pendant." He put down his wine glass, slowly stood up, and walked into the bright light, revealing a dimpled smile. "Give him a surprise gift!"

Cheng Jinglong's speech was nearing its end. He looked at Chu Han and slowly said into the microphone, "Next, I have an important announcement to make."

It's finally my turn!

Chu Han smiled smugly to himself, but his face remained calm and composed, as if he had no interest in the position of young master.

He exuded an aura of helplessness: "You all forced me into this position; I never said I was a member of the Cheng family; Ugh, I'm so annoyed with being the young master."

The spotlight shone on Chu Han, while the powerful figures in the capital base watched in silence as the Cheng family staged a grand spectacle.

People whispered to each other every now and then, and everyone's face showed a different expression.

Recently, the Cheng family has acquired a powerful genius with dual superpowers and received substantial support from advanced weaponry, making them the foremost family in the capital in terms of strength.

According to information released by the Cheng family, Cheng Jinglong plans to promote this powerful genius to power tonight!

According to some reliable sources, the head of the Cheng family apparently underwent a kinship test this afternoon.

Everyone knew what had happened to the Cheng family's youngest genius son back then, but no one said a word about it.

At this point, Cheng Jinglong disregarded his own son and nephew and wanted to push an outsider into power. Anyone with a brain could understand what was going on.

This is the child who was attacked and killed as an infant!

Who would have thought that, nearly twenty years later, in the midst of the apocalypse, he would return to the Cheng family in such a high-profile manner and inherit his genius father's position, becoming the young master of the Cheng family!

"It doesn't look like it."

"I guess I look like my mother, since we've already done a kinship test."

"The Cheng family kept it a secret very well!"

"This is destiny! If his father hadn't met with that accident back then, Cheng Jinglong wouldn't have been able to take the position. The position of young master was originally meant for him!"

"I heard that Cheng Jinglong, the eldest brother, doted on his youngest brother who died, and now it seems that he was right. He was willing to give up his own son to let his younger brother's son take over. Boss Cheng is really kind-hearted."

"Let's each get what they need. The Cheng family spends a lot of crystal cores to cultivate Chu Han; Chu Han reciprocates with a lot of military resources. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement."

"After tonight, Chu Han will finally have a legitimate status. Shouldn't he change his name to Cheng Han?"

"It looks like the Cheng family is about to undergo a major upheaval. With Chu Han's strength, it probably won't be long before the power structure of the Beijing base is shaken up..."

……

Standing in the main seat, Cheng Jinglong spoke slowly with a smile that was hard to decipher: "Today, our Cheng family will bring back the children who have been stranded outside for some reason."

One sentence silenced the entire hall.

Rumors may be rumors, but when they come from the mouth of the Cheng family head, they become definitive.
