Chapter 177
This method of judgment is quite bizarre.
Li Tian looked at the old second's wife, who was being held inside.
"You go."
Chen Fan was speechless. He went straight into the room, sat down, and said, "The eldest won't give you money. Even if the old man dies, the money won't go to your family's old second either. Just wait peacefully for the judgment of the law."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, this can't be."
"Who told you your old man didn't have a mistress?"
The audience was dumbfounded. Wait, hold on, my brain is a bit jammed right now.
I don't think I've even processed it yet.
"Holy crap, what does that mean? Holy crap, is it that scary?"
"No, this whole family is such a mess."
"I'm suddenly feeling right now that something seems off about this family."
"I just can't figure it out, what kind of plot twist is this?"
At this moment, Chen Fan was the most speechless of all. Because a person's secret can sometimes be more important than the death of a loved one by their side.
What an absurd setup.
Chen Fan pried open the locks on these people's heart doors and learned the secrets inside.
In the eyes of these four people, the so-called secret was actually having a relationship with their own relatives.
The younger brother and his sister-in-law, the younger brother's wife and the elder brother.
But in the hearts of these four people, this father had absolutely no presence.
In other words, all four of them didn't care about this man at the same time.
And at this moment, Chen Fan also heard the old man's heart door. His secret was even more outrageous.
This old man's secret turned out to be that neither of his two sons was his biological child.
His biological child was actually in someone else's family.
After hearing all this, Chen Fan felt things weren't quite right.
Chen Fan looked at the woman in front of him and said, "I can tell you another secret, a very shocking piece of news. That is, in fact, your husband, and your lover the elder brother, are actually not this old man's children."
In an instant, the woman was dumbfounded, staring at Chen Fan before her.
"Shocking? Yes, I'm also very shocked. If you don't believe it, I can do a paternity test on my end. It will definitely satisfy you. Whether the old man dies or passes naturally, you won't get the inheritance."
In that instant, the entire livestream exploded.
At this moment, everyone thought of that earlier line: Li Tian, do you believe in karmic cycles?
How deafeningly resonant that one sentence was at this moment.
At the dinner table, Qin Ming said, "I don't think even a director would film something like this."
Teacher He said, "I think I can reason things out too. A normal old man, when he's getting on in years, how could he bear to let his kids spend more money on him, getting pedicures and massages and whatnot?"
Qin Ming said, "Right, that's where it doesn't make sense. So instinctively, it shows that this family has a big problem."
The woman silently stared at Chen Fan and said, "You're all liars, every single one of you is a liar."
Chen Fan said, "This family doesn't have any money to begin with. The demolition and relocation you saw was all just to trick you into marrying in. Though I can understand you being in a hurry to kill the old man—after all, once the old man dies, the money goes to the eldest, and the eldest kicks his wife out and gets together with you. Sounds like a nice plan."
"Too bad this family has no money. I checked with the government. The demolition in your area simply can't actually happen. The so-called demolition was just gossip spread around your village, with the goal of getting you to marry in and wait to get rich."
In that instant, everyone in the livestream was speechless.
"Ah, I'm going to kill them, they all have to die..."
Chen Fan walked out of the house.
Li Tian said, "Give me an explanation, or I won't let you leave. I'm going to invite a Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain to capture demons right now."
"Get lost. Can't you reason things out? Figure it out yourself."
Li Tian said, "Reason, my ass. Seeing the old second together with this woman, I just felt something was off. This woman is very pretty, and the eldest brother's woman is also very pretty, but the two of them are still scheming to extort others. What other reason could there be? There must be something fishy going on."
"Oh, so you don't believe in love either?"
"Believe in love, my ass. The feeling from the first glance is the most direct impression everyone has."
Chen Fan gave a thumbs-up and said, "Yes, I'm also a looks person myself. I've always believed that looks are justice."
Li Tian said, "Exactly."
"Exactly, my ass. You bald-headed fool."
"You're asking for a beating."
The two were scuffling when they saw a little girl, and both immediately straightened up. Li Tian said solemnly, "Little girl, you're pretty impressive. Would you ever consider becoming a police officer in the future?"
Chen Fan said, "Little girl, you're pretty impressive. Would you ever consider becoming a forensic doctor, to bring justice to more people?"
The girl tilted her head and looked at the two of them. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll choose forensic doctor."
Chen Fan, standing to the side, said, "Not bad, not bad, hahahaha. May I ask why?"
"I know you specifically followed us to boost traffic for our shop. My dad told me to learn to be grateful."
Oh, holy crap.
How old is this daughter of yours? She already knows all this at her age. That's a bit scary.
Chen Fan tried to open the two people's heart doors.
In the girl's heart, what she thought was very simple.
"In the future, I'm going to earn lots and lots of money, so my dad can live a very happy life."
The man's heart was also very simple.
"I need to save enough money for my daughter's college tuition, and for her dowry when she gets married in the future. I can't let my daughter be unable to start a family because of me."
This was the purest heart Chen Fan had ever seen. He had actually seen very few hearts like this.
GLOSSARY:
【Chen Fan, Li Tian, Qin Ming, Teacher He, Dragon Tiger Mountain】
The couple he had seen before were truly pure at heart, and this time, the father and daughter he saw were also the purest of heart.
However, the other few people here each harbored their own schemes.
It's just that in this world, are there more people who each harbor their own schemes, or more people who are pure at heart?
"Li Tian, if it's none of their business, then bring them along to eat. Let's go."
Here, Li Tian nodded.
At the dinner table, the little girl was not shy either, just lowering her head and crunching through meat.
The man on the side was a little awkward, wanting to say what was on his mind, but the words reached his lips and he couldn't speak them out.
Chen Fan smiled, and directly used sign language to communicate with the man.
The man was startled, looking at Chen Fan. Chen Fan smiled and nodded, then picked up his wine glass and said, "The man wants to thank us, let's have a drink, have a drink."
Everyone drank it down.
Sister Jing Tian asked, "You, know sign language?"
"Yes, I didn't say I didn't know it."
"Then why did you still let this little girl translate for you? You know it all, so what was there for her to translate?"
"Big brother did it so that I could be of help."
The little girl spoke out the answer. Chen Fan gave a thumbs-up and said, "See, you're not even as good as a child."
"
Sister Jing Tian looked at the little girl and said, "What's your name? If you don't mind, take me as your godmother."
"Then will you give me money to spend?"
"Give you money, that's a small matter."
"Okay, godmother."
In the child's eyes, there was a glimmer of spiritual light shining through.
Such a spiritually gifted child, descending into this kind of family—is it a disaster, or suffering, or is it the best gift heaven has given this father?
The girl stubbornly ate her meat.
Qin Ming silently wrote.
In his own notebook.
"There are many kinds of evil in the human world. The angel who descended has her own persistence. In the eyes of outsiders, perhaps this kind of life is unbearably bitter, but the angel never feels it's hard, and even feels that all of this is happiness."
The girl and Chen Fan exchanged a glance. Chen Fan said, 'Don't worry, I'll keep your secret.'
The girl nodded hard. Chen Fan smiled and said, "Come, drink, drink."
The girl is not the man's daughter—this matter, the little girl knows, the father knows, and many people know, but no one will say it out loud.
