Chapter 344: There Is A Secret Not Known To Anyone Else

“We can call the police if Yihong is cheated as well.” Mama Xu said. “But… what if Yihong is involved in the matter?”

“Regardless, it’s the greatest relief for us to get our real son back.”

Jing Yun himself, however, held strong suspicion against his eldest brother Xu Yihong, with Sheng Xiao himself telling him to be cautious around him.

After all, Xu Yihong definitely had a hand in the whole matter since he was the one who handled both the DNA test and bringing the impostor back.

And why would he get an impostor in the first place?”

“Then, Yifeng, come home with us.” Mama Xu told Jing Yun then, even as she dried her tears. “I want to make it up to you after you’ve suffered out there for so long.”

“I want to get the bottom of things first.” Jing Yun replied.

“Our son’s right. What if the culprit comes for him again because we couldn’t unmask him?” Papa Xu told Mama Xu seriously as well. “Before all else, we need to get rid of the impostor back home and talk to Yihong.”

“Really, that child Yihong… what could he be thinking, mixing up his own brother?”

Jing Yun saw the couple’s composure and knew that they were considerate people.

That was why he neither warned them nor mentioned his suspicions, or Xu Yihong might assume that he was trying to sow discord.

“Well, I’ll have to trouble my son for staying in the hotel for now. Miss Sheng… you must be Yifeng’s girlfriend, yes?” Mama Xu then said, her wise eyes seeing through the feelings between them immediately.

Sheng Minglan blushed but nodded.

Mama Xu hence held her hand and showered praised relentlessly. “The young ladies of important families are only ever elegant and noble. No wonder our Yifeng likes you.”

“And my son owes you too. I really don’t know how to thank you…”

“Madam, you’re being too kind.” Sheng Minglan quickly held her there.

Nonetheless, with the test result in hand, the Xu couple’s mind was completely at ease.

They wanted Jing Yun to formally return to the family as soon as possible, but Jing Yun felt that now wasn’t the time for that yet.

Hence, they talked the whole day with Jing Yun and it was late into the night when they finally left. That was when Sheng Xiao came in from the next door with Mu Qiqi. “Your identity might be confirmed, but you’re still a stranger and it’s not convenient for you to interfere with family matters.”

“That’s why you should leave the matter of the impostor to your parents, while you investigate your own eldest brother Xu Yihong.”

“That won’t be difficult for you, Jing Yun. You just have to investigate everything about him since his birth.”

“Young Master, you think…”

“He holds a secret that no one else knows.” Sheng Xiao told Jing Yun confidently.

Jing Yun believed Sheng Xiao in that—the young master had never been wrong about people, and the whole incident was only too obvious.

Even before the impostor came to the Xu family, Xu Yihong must have put in a lot of effort to eventually mislead the Xu couple.

“I could tell that your parents are prudent people too, which was why they would know not to provoke your eldest brother.”

Jing Yun nodded. He had noticed that his parents were not the rash type as well.

“And remember to tell your parents about your present situation with Fourth Sister next time as well. Otherwise the coincidence in timing when the Sheng family comes calling would lead others misunderstanding that you are scheming to take control over Xu Holdings.”

“I understand.”

Beside Sheng Xiao, Mu Qiqi was at once kowtow-levels of worshipful to him at those words.

He really paid attention to the smallest details and notice problems no one else would see, and snuff it out immediately.

No wonder he never lost in the business scene.

Meanwhile, Mama Xu voiced out her worries on the way home. “Dear, I really think that there’s something wrong with Yihong.”

“Even before the impostor came to us, we had tried to find Yifeng so many times, but any clues we get would suddenly grow cold. And I’ve told you before: we were looking in the wrong direction.”

Papa Xu was silent for a long time after hearing her out.

“I just hope our hunch is wrong.” He said eventually.

“Whatever happens, we have to look like we trust in Yihong in appearance.”

“I know what to do, dear,” Papa Xu replied.

Xu Yihong and the impostor were having dinner when they reached home. Mama Xu therefore gave Papa Xu a look, and they immediately came to an understanding.

After the brothers had their dinner, Papa Xu called out to the impostor while seated on the sofa in the living room, “Yifeng, tell your brother to come downstairs too. I have something to say.”

“Alright.” The impostor nodded and quickly went upstairs, bringing Xu Yihong with him.

“Dad, what is it?”

After all, Papa Xu didn’t look like he had anything to say when they were having dinner just now.

“I have something to ask you both. Yihong, how did you manage to find Yifeng back then?”

Yihong’s face dropped. Faint droplets of sweat began to appear all over his body while his mind went blank.

Nonetheless, he forced himself to stay calm and replied Papa Xu’s question with composure. “I saw his birthmark by coincidence in a restaurant.”

“What about the DNA report? Did you take the test personally?”

“Dad… what’s wrong?” Xu Yihong could sense something now, and feared that his parents had found him out.

“I have another report here. Take a look.” With that, Papa Xu drew out the documents and put them in front of Xu Yihong. “This latest report indicates that this person in front of us is neither my son nor your younger brother.”

But even though they were exposed, both men remained calm and unhurried.

Xu Yihong even took the lead and knelt with the impostor. “Dad, I’m sorry.”

“Why?”

“Because I didn’t want Mom to keep looking. We just can’t know for sure whether Third Brother is alive or dead, and I’m afraid Mom’s mental state would grow worse. That’s why I arranged for this kid to be your son.” Xu Yihong answered earnestly.

“Only your own flesh and blood matters. Anything else is meaningless.” Papa Xu told him. “Do you know how hurtful this matter was to your mother?”

“Father, it’s all my fault.” Xu Yihong said, claiming all the blame.

Because with that, the whole issue was committed out of his love for his parents despite the fraudulence.

“We’ve found your real younger brother,” Papa Xu then told them. “Even if you’re not our child, I’m allowing you to leave freely because you were not lying to us out of malice. Go wherever you want.”

Xu Yihong felt an even greater blow at those words.

How was that possible?
