703: Chapter 703: Fake Niu Mingxuan

“This world needs to be cleansed, and you too must pay the price for your actions!”

Alright, Oriental Chen had to admit, he had misunderstood.

Niu Mingxuan wasn't acting with some special purpose; in reality, he was just a naive, hot-headed youth.

And Xue Fu was merely exploiting this to trick him into undergoing human experimentation.

As for why Niu Mingxuan, like Zhang Huishan, was a natural Cultivator, and why he wasn't Niu Xingwang's biological son, it had absolutely no bearing on his attitude.

“Alright. As for what kind of person I am, and whether this world truly needs to be cleansed, perhaps you will have a different perspective once you understand more. Last question: how far has Xue Fu's experiment progressed?”

Oriental Chen couldn't be bothered to explain to him what kind of person Xue Fu was.

Niu Mingxuan was already in a dead end. Arguing with him about this was pointless.

“No comment!” Niu Mingxuan refused to answer.

He truly was a foolish child.

He was sold out, yet he was still helping others count their money.

“Alright, since you don't want to talk, I won't force you. Let's end our conversation here for today. If you have anything you want to say in the future, come find me.”

Oriental Chen was in no mood to continue talking to him and prepared to end the call.

“Wait.”

“What is it?” Oriental Chen asked.

“Don't harbor any ill intentions towards my parents, otherwise, I will never let you off.”

“Thump~”

Oriental Chen couldn't be bothered with him anymore and directly cut off the communication.

Soon, Niu Xingwang returned to the office, his eyes red.

“Dad, what's wrong?” Niu Mingxuan asked.

“Niu Mingxuan, you go back and rest first. I'm a bit tired, so I won't keep you company,” Niu Xingwang said listlessly.

“Dad, did that Oriental Chen make some excessive demands? Tell me, I'll figure out a way.”

“Enough! I told you, Mr. Dongfang is a great benefactor to our entire family! He saved all of our lives, you are not to be so rude!” Niu Xingwang roared.

“Dad…”

“That's enough. Let's talk tomorrow, you go back first!” Niu Xingwang didn't want to listen anymore and motioned for him to leave.

“Sigh!” Niu Mingxuan sighed, opened the door, and left.

“Mr. Dongfang, Cuiqin insists that he is our son. You tell me, where exactly is the problem?” Niu Xingwang asked.

“Brother Niu, I apologize. This is your family matter, it's not convenient for me to say much.”

“Mr. Dongfang, I always feel that Niu Mingxuan is acting strangely now. Could someone be instigating him from behind the scenes?”

“Brother Niu. I don't think that's possible. The incident at Shang Gong Institute happened earlier than the virus outbreak. At that time, you and I didn't know each other, so it's impossible for anyone to have noticed us and started planning then. So, you're overthinking it. There might not be any conspiracy behind this matter,” Oriental Chen explained.

“That's true. But…”

“You handle this matter yourselves. I have other things to do, so let's leave it at that for now.” Oriental Chen didn't want to discuss this topic further.

“Wait, Mr. Dongfang, I just thought of something,” Niu Xingwang said.

“What is it?”

“Is it possible that this Niu Mingxuan is fake?” Niu Xingwang asked.

“What do you mean?”

“When I went to pick him up, I had some doubts. However, when I saw my son with my own eyes, I didn't think about it anymore. Now it seems there might really be a problem.”

“What problem?”

“My son had an accident two years before the virus outbreak, which should have been 2054. Later, when I heard he was still alive, I was somewhat puzzled. Since Niu Mingxuan's condition was so severe, how could he have lasted for two years? Moreover, at that time, I was just a real estate developer in Binjiang, and Shang Gong Institute had no reason to pay such a high price to maintain his condition.”

Niu Xingwang had this doubt at the time, which was why he insisted on seeing his child before he would sign the equity transfer agreement.

“You mean to say that Niu Mingxuan was deliberately faked by them to trick you into giving up equity in Huatong Chamber of Commerce?”

“Now it seems this possibility is very high,” Niu Xingwang nodded.

“But didn't you confirm that he was your son?” Oriental Chen asked.

“Perhaps they performed plastic surgery on Niu Mingxuan,” Niu Xingwang guessed.

Oriental Chen remained silent.

Facial features could indeed be faked. And with multiple organs transplanted, it would be normal for any birthmarks or the like to have disappeared.

Therefore, it was not impossible that this Niu Mingxuan was a fake.

“In that case, this Niu Mingxuan is highly problematic! If he is an impostor but actively accepted you, then he must be lying,” Oriental Chen said.

“Exactly, that's what I thought. The Military Political Department's agreement to release him at the time was a bit problematic in itself. If Liu Feiying was completely unaware, how could Niu Mingxuan have received such extensive medical resources to prolong his life?”
