Chapter 498: Playing Too Big

~8 min read 1,410 words

Hey, Shangxun!

After the phone was connected, Zhao Yiren laughed and called out.

"Is that Uncle Yiren?" Lin Feng asked.

Zhao Yiren said: "Shangxun, do you have time to come over now? We've found an important item of your mother's here."

"Now... I have time! Or I'll come tomorrow!" Lin Feng said.

Okay! Then I'll wait for you at home tomorrow.

Okay, goodbye!

Goodbye!

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng picked up the mirror.

This look, so handsome!

Like the young domineering CEO in a Han drama.

Evening.

Zhang Zaixuan finally walked out of the room of his deceased eldest son.

Outside the door, a large crowd of Zhang family members wearing black coats and with white flowers pinned to their chests gathered.

Among the sea of black, a young person in white clothing stood out the most.

This young man was Zhang Shangren, whom Lin Feng had beaten up earlier that afternoon.

Upon seeing Zhang Shangren, a surge of anger welled up in Zhang Zaixuan's chest.

This good-for-nothing, just like his father, only knows about women.

First it was the pretty maids at home; after getting a taste, they ran off outside.

Then he fell in with a bunch of spoiled young masters and learned bad habits.

In Han Guo, the conglomerates rule; these young masters of the conglomerates act with utter impunity in their daily affairs.

Even if something happens, as long as it doesn't get out and provoke public outrage, they probably won't go to jail.

Even if sentenced, life imprisonment can be reduced to twenty years, then ten…

At most they'd be locked up for two or three years before being released.

Seeing the bruise on Zhang Shangren's face, Zhang Zaixuan frowned and said: "What trouble have you gotten into outside again?"

Zhang Shangren hurriedly said: "This time it's not me causing trouble; a hooligan threw a cigarette butt onto my car…"

Enough!

Before Zhang Shangren could finish speaking, Zhang Zaixuan raised his hand to stop him; he didn't want to hear Zhang Shangren's nonsense anymore.

Then Zhang Zaixuan frowned and said: "What are you all gathering here for? Do you want me to die sooner so you can split the inheritance?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sons, daughters, grandsons, and granddaughters present hurriedly shook their heads, claiming they were concerned about the old man's health.

Zhang Zaixuan certainly didn't believe them!

He had no mood to eat with this bunch, so he returned to his office.

During this time he just wallowed in grief, and many things went unattended.

There were several assistants in the room.

After listening to the assistants' reports, Zhang Zaixuan issued a series of orders.

After that, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Zaixuan drank a bowl of porridge while listening to the steward Shen Rongcan talk about matters concerning Zhang Shangxun.

After Zhao Yiren called Lin Feng in the afternoon, Shen Rongcan had someone investigate.

First they checked Zhang Shangxun's household registration and identity information.

That was fine.

The person Jin Shanren found had made the documents very perfect.

"President, we've only checked these documents so far; there's no problem at all. Should we check anything else?"

After Shen Rongcan finished reporting, seeing that Zhang Zaixuan remained silent, he bent over and asked.

Zhang Zaixuan shook his head and said: "There's nothing to investigate; we'll just do a paternity test when the time comes. A fake can't become real, and a real can't become fake."

Yes!

Shen Rongcan nodded.

It was already late; the steward was about to leave when his phone rang.

It was the gatekeeper calling, saying a guest had arrived.

It was still an important guest.

After Shen Rongcan answered the phone, he told Zhang Zaixuan: "President, President Song Zhongxi wants to see you."

Zhang Zaixuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "He should have come; if it weren't for Xunzhe's matter, we should have met earlier. Please let him in!"

Shen Rongcan nodded and ran to the door to greet him.

Moments later, a man over sixty, spirited and vigorous, walked into the living room.

This person was none other than Song Zhongxi.

Zhang Zaixuan warmly went up to meet him.

The two embraced each other briefly.

After exchanging a few polite remarks, the two sat down on the sofa.

Song Zhongxi sighed and said: "Brother Zaixuan, accept my condolences, and take care of your health!"

Zhang Zaixuan replied indifferently: "I'm fine! You came all the way out tonight, surely it's about that previous matter, right?"

Song Zhongxi gave a hehe laugh and said: "I'm just a matchmaker; as long as Brother Zaixuan you agree, the marriage alliance between your Zhang family and the Li family would truly be a great thing!"

Let me think about it for a moment!

Zhang Zaixuan frowned and said.

Song Zhongxi advised, saying: 'This matter can't be delayed any longer; if we keep dragging it on, it'll fall through. Our days are tough enough as it is—if we can marry into the Li family, we'll avoid a lot of trouble down the road.'

Zhang Zaixuan's mouth twitched up. 'Everyone thinks I'm old and easy to bully, huh?'

Song Zhongxi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't.

Some things, once spoken, are a bit of a blow.

Actually, Zhang Zaixuan knew what Song Zhongxi wanted to say.

It's nothing more than the Zhang family being seen as having no heir after the death of their eldest son, Zhang Xunzhe.

As soon as he, Zhang Zaixuan, dies, this huge family will fragment and collapse, eventually being swallowed up by other conglomerates.

Now the younger generation, the second generation, are incapable, so we can only look for outside help.

And the Li family's Li Huiying, though only twenty-four, has already shown extraordinary ability.

If she weren't a woman, the Li family would have her as its future heir.

After Li Huiying marries in and bears a son, she will naturally consider her son's interests and certainly won't side with her natal family.

These conglomerates of Han Guo are very much like the aristocratic clans of ancient times.

All right!

After much deliberation, Zhang Zaixuan agreed.

Next, we just need to pick an unmarried grandson from the family to marry Li Huiying.

The grandson's ability doesn't matter; as long as he can provide sperm, that's enough.

The first grandson Zhang Zaixuan thought of was Zhang Shangren.

The other grandsons are either already married or too young.

But soon he thought of another grandson, Zhang Shangxun, who had been drifting outside.

First confirm Zhang Shangxun's identity, then consider…

Seeing Zhang Zaixuan agree, Song Zhongxi was very pleased.

Next, Song Zhongxi began to talk about the benefits of the two families joining forces.

At the same moment.

Zhang Yao lay on the sofa, not wanting to move at all.

Lin Feng, sitting nearby, threw her a blanket to cover up, then lit a cigarette.

Want to go shopping together tomorrow?

Zhang Yao asked.

Lin Feng shook his head. 'Tomorrow won't work; I have to go back to my roots tomorrow.'

Huh?

Zhang Yao sat up, looking surprised.

Lin Feng glanced at her and said lightly, 'Zhang Shangxun's identity is no simple matter—he is the illegitimate son of the heir to the Han Guo Zhang clan's financial conglomerate, and that heir recently died of illness. Tell me, wouldn't it be fun if I became the heir of the Zhang conglomerate?'

At this point Lin Feng stopped hiding it and told Zhang Yao.

Anyway, she'll find out about this in the next couple of days.

Zhang Yao was even more shocked.

She never imagined the big demon king would play this big!

Only after Lin Feng finished his cigarette did she come to her senses.

'The problem is, how do we get past the paternity test?' Zhang Yao asked.

Lin Feng gave a faint smile. 'Don't worry—I've prepared for it long ago. Even if we fail, there's no loss, right?'

Zhang Yao took a deep breath.

She suddenly realized that Lin Feng's appearance in Han Guo this time probably wasn't to save her, but that he had arranged all this beforehand.

Lin Feng patted Zhang Yao's pretty cheek, saying, 'Once I truly become Zhang Shangxun, I'll back your company and make it Han Guo's biggest entertainment firm.'

Making money from Han Guo's conglomerates and accumulating wealth is far faster than digging for gold.
