Chapter 109 Similarity 99%, confirming parent-child relationship
"...Let me check."
While Xiao B was checking, Yi Mohan, Su Yao and others also arrived.
The expressions on everyone's faces were very interesting. Fang Zhen didn't like the junior Yi Mohan very much, and even less so Su Yao, so he just called Fang Manman aside to ask her.
"The housekeeper said you were at the scene. What happened?"
"I……"
Su Yao saw Fang Manman turn pale in an instant and wanted to help her speak, "Uncle, Manman..."
"What's wrong with you? You can't even say a word? Your sister and brother rushed into the fire to save your mother, but you just stood at the door and watched?"
Fang Zhen interrupted Su Yao directly. It was obvious that Su Yao had no right to speak about the Fang family's affairs.
Su Yao looked embarrassed, and Fang Manman trembled even more when she saw this.
Fang Zhen's face was solemn, but his voice was relatively calm. However, Fang Manman felt as if she was facing a towering mountain. The other party's pressure hit her hard, and she was almost scared to kneel down on the spot.
"Dad... I... I tried to stop him... but failed..."
She could only utter these words tremblingly, her palms almost broken.
Fang Zhen's eyes were filled with scrutiny, and then he asked, "Since you were there first, did you see who set the fire?"
Fang Manman felt as if she was being tortured. She could hardly bear Fang Zhen's aura. She broke down crying and sat down in the busy hospital corridor without caring about her image.
"I don't know... I don't know anything... I don't know even if you ask me. When I got there, the house was already on fire... Then my mom ran downstairs and tried to rush in like crazy. I tried to stop her, but I couldn't... Don't blame me for that, right?"
Fang Zhen: “…”
Fang Zhen rarely felt embarrassed, so he could only press his brows together and accept the curious and inquiring gazes of everyone in the corridor. When she had almost finished crying, he grabbed Fang Manman's arm, lifted her up, and threw her onto the seat in the aisle next to him, not wanting to look at her any more.
Zhao Xingheng stepped forward and patted his friend on the shoulder, saying, "Luckily, no one was hurt. I think Xiaowu was also frightened. Please give her some time to calm down."
Fang Zhen didn't want to say more, and his gaze fell on Fang Ke beside him, and his emotions became complicated.
At that time, when Fang Manman came to him with the DNA report, he naturally didn't believe it. He then privately found three testing agencies, but the results... unexpectedly, all showed that Fang Manman was his Fang family bloodline, but Fang Ke was not.
No one could accept this result, but Fang Manman had to be taken back to the Fang family. However, they were reluctant to send the child away.
He and Yan Xinyi almost agreed to treat both children as their own.
However, within half a year after Fang Manman returned home, Fang Ke had many quarrels and frictions with her, and several of them almost resulted in deaths. And every time, it seemed that Fang Manman was the one being bullied.
Fang Zhen had upheld justice for them many times, and he was numb from all the arguments. He was unconsciously biased towards Fang Ke at the beginning, but later on, he looked at Fang Ke with a strange look.
It's not that he really believed that Fang Ke was bullying Fang Manman by taking advantage of the favor, but Fang Ke could fall for some obvious tricks to win favor, which Fang Zhen found unbelievable.
He remembered that the child was very smart and capable when he was young. Even when he was seven or eight years old, because Fang Ke pointed out that there was a problem with the financial report data of a branch company, he followed the clues and uncovered a huge corruption case of the branch company's president.
It shouldn't be like this.
Fang Zhen looked at the person in front of him who almost fought with Fang Manman to tear her hair apart, and felt that he was too unfamiliar.
Is this still his high-spirited, arrogant daughter?
For a while, he was reluctant to ask about family affairs, until Fang Ke got into trouble again and became a hot topic. It was said that she secretly kidnapped an ordinary female college student, who was the one who had been rumored to be crazy about the eldest son of the Yi family.
Fortunately, no one was injured, but Yi Mohan was completely offended.
Fang Zhen had used all his connections to get the man out of the police station, and he couldn't say he wasn't disappointed with her.
Fang Ke was put in solitary confinement during that period, and Fang Zhen talked to her several times, but with little effect.
It was not until Fang Han came back from abroad, visited Fang Ke, and then called Fang Yiling that the two of them said something to Fang Zhen that shattered Fang Zhen's three views.
"Dad, this person is not my sister."
Fang Zhen was sitting behind his desk, smoking in frustration, and thought Fang Han was just speaking in anger.
But Fang Yiling also said, "Two years ago, when she came back, she was very strange."
Fang Zhen suddenly felt his scalp tingling, but he still felt that the two were talking nonsense.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Dad, think about it carefully. With the extraordinary abilities Fang Ke has displayed since she was two or three years old, would she let herself be trampled under the feet of these people today? Wouldn't she just stab them all to death one by one?"
"..."
"Think about it again. When she first found out you wanted to introduce Yi Mohan to her, she was so disgusted with him that she almost wanted to die. But how did she suddenly become Yi Mohan's bootlicker overnight? She insisted on marrying him, and no amount of persuasion would stop her. She became a laughing stock to everyone."
"Isn't this just a sign of a girl's shyness..."
"What the hell? If we like a man, we can just get him. Why be shy?"
"..."
Fang Yiling added, "Besides, she's not smart. My sister knew six languages at 15, but she can only pass English. My sister can swim, but she can't. My sister can play the piano, but she can't."
"Your sister was in a car accident..."
"Some human instincts never change. Even if someone has lost their memory, they still know how to survive in the water."
Fang Zhen couldn't refute it, but he still felt it was a fairy tale. It was possible to force an explanation for all the clues.
"But……"
"I saw a post on a forum before, saying that some evil spirits would take advantage of people's weakness and take over their bodies. One user shared a personal story, saying that after their mother returned from a trip to a scenic spot, she was replaced and her behavior was completely different. He didn't dare confront her, and a week later, his 'mother' ran away from home and never returned."
"...Take your Penglai ghost story and get out."
"Hehe, I'm just guessing there's a possibility. The world is so big that nothing is impossible, but there's a greater possibility..."
Fang Han took out her phone and said, "I'm even more suspicious that she was switched when she was in the car accident. I recently asked someone to do another paternity test on her, and the result was still no match..."
Fang Zhen didn't say anything. He did it three times himself and was naturally not surprised by the result.
"But Dad, actually, when my third sister was about ten years old, I was so jealous of her intelligence and excellence that I secretly took her hair to do a DNA test."
Fang Zhen dropped the cigarette in his hand. "Are you bored?"
"Because she was incredibly intelligent and precocious. Considering the average IQ of our Fang family at the time, I doubted you and your mother would have given birth to a child with such a high IQ."
"........."
"But then Yi Ling was born, and I finally felt better. It turns out genes can really mutate."
Fang Zhen was almost choked by Fang Han's anger.
Fang Han didn't keep the secret any longer and opened the report in his hand. "I kept the original in the bank safe. Here are the photos. Take a look at the results."
Fang Zhen's heart beat faster. He took Fang Han's phone and saw the result at a glance.
The similarity is 99.999%, confirming the parent-child relationship.
