Chapter 516: Either Apologize, or Die

"Do you know? I treat her as my elder; she is very much like a relative of mine." Chen Yu said coldly, "I will not allow anyone to be disrespectful to her. Kid, go apologize immediately; don't force me to kill you."

"You, who exactly are you?" He Fanzhou was terrified by the killing intent emanating from Chen Yu.

This killing intent was something he had never even seen in the experts supported by his family; he believed that if he dared not follow Chen Yu's wishes, he would be killed right then and there in the next second.

"Who am I?" Chen Yu grinned, and suddenly, he threw another punch.

Bang... He Fanzhou flew out again; this time he lay on the ground, almost completely unconscious.

"Don't beat him to death." Mu Xi appeared at the doorway; truthfully, she really wanted to kill He Fanzhou with a single blade.

But if he really died, his old man would definitely go crazy. He Fanzhou's father controlled a portion of the power in the He Group; if he truly went crazy and the two sides clashed, the He Group would inevitably suffer severe damage.

"Rest assured, I have a sense of proportion; he won't die." Chen Yu smiled and stepped forward again.

He kicked He Fanzhou's body, channeling True Qi into him to stimulate He Fanzhou's potential once more. This guy suddenly straightened his body, gasping for air; the chaotic energy inside his body made him almost unable to breathe.

But this time, the look in his eyes when he gazed at Chen Yu was already filled with terror, because he discovered that this person before him simply did not care who he was; if he angered the other party again, the other party would truly kill him on the spot.

"I apologize, I admit my mistake, don't hit me, please don't hit me anymore." This time, without waiting for Chen Yu to speak, He Fanzhou flopped to his knees on the ground and began to wail.

Chen Yu said nothing; he dragged He Fanzhou along, walked into the room, and tossed him beside He Lingyun like a dead dog.

"Aunt, I'm sorry, I was truly wrong. I am a beast, I am an animal, I apologize to you." He Fanzhou knelt before He Lingyun, begging for mercy and apologizing with a sobbing tone.

"Be more sincere." Chen Yu suddenly grabbed his hair and slammed his head heavily against the floor.

Thump... He Fanzhou's head hit the floor, and blood soon seeped out. He cried out, "I'm apologizing, I'm already apologizing, don't hit me."

"Alright, Xiaoyu, stop hitting him." He Lingyun looked on, unable to bear it. She helped He Fanzhou up and said, "Go to the hospital to treat your injuries. If you show no respect for your elders again, I will not be polite to you."

"Aunt, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Thank you, Aunt." He Fanzhou was so grateful that tears and snot flowed together; he struggled to exit the room and ran away, struggling, without looking back.

Only then did Chen Yu exhale a breath of turbid air from his chest, and his agitated heart slowly calmed down.

He regarded He Lingyun as a relative; that feeling of blood being thicker than water made him unable to let go. He would not allow anyone to hurt her or insult her.

"Xiaoyu, are you alright? Don't get so angry that you harm your health; it's not worth it to get angry at such a person." Only then did He Lingyun look at Chen Yu with concern.

"I'm fine, Aunt He. I just can't stand how this kid's mouth smells like he's eaten excrement." Chen Yu smiled.

"I manage the He Group and hold great power, so the people of the He Family are naturally unwilling to accept it." He Lingyun sighed slightly, "It's not that I don't want to let go of the power, but... I just want to survive in that man-eating Shengjing..."

Chen Yu felt a pain in his heart. Just how many jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards were around He Lingyun? His fists clenched involuntarily; he swore that he must clear away all the dangers around He Lingyun.

After staying here for a while, Chen Yu went out.

"Why did you have such a big reaction just now?" After going downstairs, Mu Xi looked up and asked.

"I don't know, I just can't stand to see anyone insult Aunt He." Chen Yu shook his head.

"We aren't outsiders anymore." Mu Xi paused and said, "Tell me, what exactly is your feeling when you see my sister? I feel that your attitude toward her is different from how you treat others; you have a feeling of treating her like your own elder or relative."

"A feeling of blood being thicker than water. Seeing her is like seeing my own mother; I just want to be close to her." Chen Yu suddenly looked up, his eyes slightly red, "Do you understand what I mean by saying this?"

"I understand..." Mu Xi was somewhat surprised; she nodded and said, "Let's lay our cards on the table today. How much do you know about your own background?"

"My father, Chen Wenzhong, is my adoptive father. I was picked up by him from the foot of the mountain. When I was picked up, I had my birth date and name with me." Chen Yu said forlornly, "And there was also a letter."

"What kind of letter?" Mu Xi asked urgently, "What was the content written in the letter?"

"I didn't read the letter. Father only gave it to me a few months ago, but I didn't even look at it; I threw it directly into the fire to burn," Chen Yu said.

"Why would you do that? This concerns your background!" Mu Xi stamped her feet in anxiety.

"Because the signature on the envelope made me feel that I didn't have the ability to contend with the other party. I need to grow." Chen Yu said grimly, "I need to grow to a certain height before I go to figure out what happened back then."

"What was the signature?" Mu Xi held her breath, staring fixedly at Chen Yu, not missing any expression on his face or any word he said.

"Shengjing, Chen Clan." Chen Yu spat out these four words.

Mu Xi's expression was shocked; she looked at Chen Yu in disbelief, "Shengjing, Chen Clan?"

"Yes." Chen Yu nodded, "Below the signature, there was also a red seal, and the word 'Heavenly Mandate' was carved on the seal."

"Chen Family, Chen Tianming." Mu Xi gritted her teeth and said, "He is my sister's former father-in-law, and his son, Chen Anyi, is my sister's former husband. You... you are my sister's child. The birth date is the same, the name is the same, and there is the letter from the Chen Clan, the signature of the Chen Clan."

"You are him, you are the son she never saw once since birth." Mu Xi grabbed Chen Yu's hand tightly, "Come, go back with me; you two, mother and son, should recognize each other."

"But what if... it's not?" Chen Yu gritted his teeth.

"Why wouldn't it be? You have the same name as him, your birth date is the same as his, you and she both have a feeling of relatives meeting each other, your background is a mystery, and you have a handwritten letter from that old man of the Chen Family."

Mu Xi grabbed him and said, "These various signs already indicate that there is definitely a connection between you."

"But I had a DNA test done, and we are not." Chen Yu said.

"You had it tested?" Mu Xi was startled, "When?"

"It was tested back in Fengling, but it wasn't a match. I don't know if there was a problem in the process, so even if I feel that there should be a connection between us, I don't dare to rashly acknowledge the relationship." Chen Yu said.

"That old man of the Chen Family is no ordinary person." Mu Xi thought for a moment and said, "And the events of that year are full of mysteries. What if some people don't want you, mother and son, to recognize each other?"
