Chapter 565: Chapter 563: No Loose Ends

Since Aunt Wang had said as much, and what’s done was done, all they could do now was hope for a good outcome.

"Does my dad know?" Ye Feng asked.

Wang Liwen shook her head. "Your father doesn’t know. He’s so busy with work!"

Ye Feng chuckled lightly. "Aunt Wang, you and my dad are husband and wife. It’s the closest relationship in the world. Anything that happens to one of you will affect the other. At a time like this, you should tell my dad so he can be mentally prepared."

"I... Will your father blame me?" Wang Liwen hesitated, feeling uncertain.

Ye Feng shook his head. "You had no other choice. The last threat only bought you three or four years of peace, and now Wu Xingjia is back. It’s good to take care of some things sooner rather than later. You don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself."

Hearing Ye Feng say this, Wang Liwen let out a sigh of relief. "I’ll tell your father in a little while."

Ye Feng nodded. "Tell him as soon as possible."

After hanging up, Ye Feng marveled. ’So women aren’t always hesitant when they act.’

"Aunt Wang is really brave!" Han Xiaorui said in surprise. "I thought she would keep enduring it."

Ye Feng shook his head. "She couldn’t endure it any longer. After all, Ye Ling is studying at Renmin University and plans to go into politics. By reporting it now, if there are any repercussions, Aunt Wang and Ye Ling will find out sooner."

"If he can’t go into politics, he can pursue another career after graduating. If there are no repercussions, it’s like pulling out a thorn in their side, and Ye Ling can pursue politics with peace of mind."

Han Xiaorui nodded. "Aunt Wang took a huge risk. It could affect her career. Mothers are truly amazing sometimes, willing to sacrifice themselves to protect their children."

Ye Feng smiled. "Yeah. If it were just for herself, Aunt Wang might not have dared to risk it all, but for Ye Ling, she can be fearless."

Han Xiaorui urged him, "Since you know what’s happened, you should call Grandpa. He’s probably waiting for your news. A message from him will also make Old Master Wu think things over carefully."

Ye Feng paused. "Xiao Rui, do you think Old Master Wu knows about Ye Ling’s existence?"

Han Xiaorui looked doubtful. "Probably not, right? If he knew, would he let his son do something so foolish?"

"Not necessarily," Ye Feng replied. "In any case, this can’t be hidden. Whether Old Master Wu genuinely doesn’t know or is just pretending not to, this matter has to be resolved."

"Right!" Han Xiaorui nodded. "Then hurry up and call."

Ye Feng dialed the Xu family’s number and told his grandfather the whole story.

Mr. Xu was also slightly taken aback when he heard the news. "Wang Liwen was ruthless this time, willing to gamble her own future to eliminate this trouble for her son."

"Yes," Ye Feng replied. "Wu Xingjia has been arrested. He wasn’t taken to a regular police station, but to the State Security Bureau. No wonder Old Master Wu couldn’t find any information."

"Aunt Wang has now taken the initiative to report what happened back then to the organization. Ultimately, she was a victim back then. Who would have known the person she was dating would turn out to be that kind of man."

"This matter could be big or small. If it really has an impact, even to the point of preventing Ye Ling from going into politics, it’s better for it to come out now. He can pursue other lines of work in the future."

Mr. Xu nodded. "Mm, I understand."

After hanging up, Mr. Xu called Old Master Wu.

At that moment, Old Master Wu was looking at his weeping daughter-in-law, Liu Yun. "I’m already doing my best to find out what happened. You don’t need to cry."

Liu Yun sobbed, "Dad, I think Wang Liwen must be behind this. She must have ordered someone to have Xingjia arrested."

"Wang Liwen?" Old Master Wu looked puzzled, unable to recall the name. "Who’s that? Has Xingjia been messing around outside again? This isn’t like being abroad; fooling around here is the crime of hooliganism!"

A look of envy and jealousy crossed Liu Yun’s eyes. "Wang Liwen was the woman Xingjia was seeing back then. When the situation became dire and we left the country, Xingjia broke up with her."

"Broke up? Isn’t that normal? So many years have passed. They should both be married by now. Why would she hold such a huge grudge?" Old Master Wu was confused. Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him. "Is Xingjia still hung up on Wang Liwen? Did he try to win her back and she retaliated?"

Liu Yun hesitated. She had known when Wu Xingjia and Wang Liwen were dating, but she’d had a secret crush on Wu Xingjia and had sabotaged their relationship.

She had done a series of things to make Wang Liwen misunderstand that Wu Xingjia wanted to break up and didn’t want the child. Then, after they had settled abroad, she made Wu Xingjia believe that Wang Liwen had fallen for someone else.

Everything went smoothly. Wang Liwen married someone else soon after.

Originally, the matter should have ended there.

Unexpectedly, the child Wang Liwen gave birth to looked remarkably like Wu Xingjia.

As for her, although she had married Wu Xingjia, he had been injured while fleeing the country and was left unable to have children.

’After all my scheming, I never thought I’d be the one to face retribution.’

With no children of their own and an outstanding son back in the country, Wu Xingjia naturally couldn’t just ignore the situation.

The vast Wu family fortune needed an heir.

So as soon as he returned to the country, Wu Xingjia anxiously went to Beijing, making donations and funding the construction of school buildings.

But Wang Liwen remained unyielding and refused to acknowledge him, so the situation reached a stalemate.

Liu Yun’s eyes darted around. "Actually... actually, Xingjia... he wanted to go to Beijing to claim his son."

"What?" Old Master Wu was stunned. "Claim his son? What son? Whose son? Liu Yun, you better explain this to me clearly. What exactly is going on?"

Old Master Wu had used all his connections but still couldn’t find out Wu Xingjia’s whereabouts. That was what worried and frightened him the most.

Liu Yun was also extremely worried about Wu Xingjia, so she didn’t dare hide anything at this point. "Back then, Wang Liwen was already pregnant. After Wu Xingjia left, she quickly married Ye Zheng..."

Old Master Wu was dumbfounded. "Xingjia has a biological son? I... I actually have a biological grandson?"

Liu Yun nodded. "Even without a paternity test, just one look at that child and you’d know he’s Xingjia’s."

"Before, our foundation in the country wasn’t deep. After being warned by the Ye Family, Xingjia didn’t dare try to confirm it. Now that we’ve transferred many of our businesses back, been welcomed by the country, and gradually stabilized our position, Xingjia finally dared to try and acknowledge his son again."

Just as she finished speaking, the phone rang.

A servant answered the phone first and informed Old Master Wu that it was a call from Mr. Xu.

Old Master Wu picked up the phone and asked, "Brother Xu, is Xingjia’s disappearance related to Wang Liwen?"

Hearing this, Mr. Xu didn’t beat around the bush. "Yes! He was harassing Wang Liwen’s son, so she reported him."

"Reported? On what charge?" Old Master Wu thought carefully. The Wu family hadn’t done anything illegal.

Their actions back then had been a bit improper, so after returning to invest, Old Master Wu had specifically instructed Wu Xingjia to be extremely careful and cautious.

Mr. Xu thought for a moment before answering, "She reported him on the grounds of spying on a key national research project. Then Wu Xingjia was taken away by the State Security Bureau."

Old Master Wu was shocked. "No wonder I couldn’t get any information! What kind of major research project does Wang Liwen have?"
