"Yong'an Province? Who is it?"

Chen Fang asked.

Yu Zhengchuan replied, "Gao Younan."

"Why has he come?"

Upon hearing the name.

Chen Fang was thrilled.

Seeing this, Pei Shanglian said, "Ah Fang, you have a guest, so I'll take my leave now."

As he left.

Chen Fang quickly said, "Bring him in at once."

After Yu Zhengchuan turned and left, it didn't take long before Gao Younan was brought in.

After a long absence.

Chen Fang too was somewhat excited, grabbed him in a hug, and asked, "Why have you come? You missed me, didn't you?"

Despite such warmth, Gao Younan showed no reaction at all.

Chen Fang suddenly realized something.

He straightened up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gao Younan said, "Ah Fang, I didn't come alone this time, I brought someone with me."

"Who is it?"

Chen Fang, somewhat puzzled, asked.

At that moment, Gao Younan called towards the door, "Come in."

Then, a young woman walked in, holding a baby in her arms, a newborn it seemed, still quite small and sound asleep.

"Who is this…"

Chen Fang asked with some confusion.

Gao Younan said, "Her name is Tang Qiulin, my fiancée."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fang immediately beamed with a smile and said, "So it's my sister-in-law, come, come, please have a seat."

After settling Tang Qiulin down.

Chen Fang patted Gao Younan's shoulder and asked softly, "Kid, when did this happen? You even have a child and kept it a secret from me, not cool at all."

Yet Gao Younan was not the least bit happy, he looked at Chen Fang and said, "This child isn't mine, it's yours."

"Today isn't April Fool's Day, you can't joke about that."

Chen Fang joked.

Gao Younan said, "I'm serious, this child is yours, born to Zhong Xiqian."

Chen Fang was still smiling.

But after that sentence was said.

His smile froze on his face instantaneously.

For a full minute.

He showed no expression and just stood there, stunned, then asked, "Who did you say?"

"Zhong Xiqian!"

Gao Younan repeated.

It had been a very long time since Chen Fang had heard that name, honestly, it was also the name that lingered longest in his heart.

He had many, many women.

But even now, the one he couldn't quite get over was still Zhong Xiqian.

Chen Fang still remembered the time he had been intimate with Zhong Xiqian, it was during his confrontation with Cai Xiaodong.

It was Zhong Xiqian who had taken the initiative then.

And indeed, Chen Fang had not taken any precautions.

"Is it really my child?"

Chen Fang shuddered, turning around.

Carefully, Tang Qiulin handed the baby in her arms to Chen Fang.

He looked at the child for a long time.

Suddenly thinking of something, he asked, "Did Qianqian ask you to bring the child to me?"

Gao Younan shook his head and said, "No, the Zhong family is in trouble, both Zhong Pan and Zhong Xiqian are currently in the detention center in Rongjiang City."

Chen Fang's heart skipped a beat.

He handed the child back to Tang Qiulin, grabbed Gao Younan, and said, "Quick… quick, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Everything had to start from the recent upheaval at Sen Can Group.

As mentioned before, Sen Can Group originally started in the financial business.

After decades of development, Zhong Pan, the chairman, turned it into a behemoth conglomerate covering finance, real estate, transportation, retail, food and pharmaceuticals, and automobiles.

Sen Can Group had a market value of hundreds of billions.

Even the assets of the Zhong Family reached tens of billions.

How could the founder of such a company possibly end up in a detention center?

After her separation from Chen Fang, Zhong Xiqian had completely cut off contact with him.

Not long after, under Zhong Pan's arrangement, she went on a blind date with the son of another major corporation.

This corporation was called Yafei Group, also a highly renowned venture capital enterprise in the industry.

The founder was He Wuhui, whose son was named He Hong.

Zhong Pan's idea was simple, which was to join forces to create brilliance together.

This was initially why he didn't allow his daughter to keep in contact with Chen Fang.

He was a stubborn businessman; he believed that his daughter's marriage should maximize the company's interests.

By then, Zhong Xiqian was already pregnant, and she had also agreed to her father to never contact Chen Fang again, so the blind date went smoothly.

They met just once.

Zhong Xiqian agreed to marry He Hong.

Zhong Pan was very happy.

In less than a month, he organized a grand wedding for his daughter and son-in-law.

"Qianqian got married? How come I didn't know?"

Hearing this.

Chen Fang asked in surprise.

Gao Younan nodded and said, "It was a grand wedding. You might have been too busy at the time and didn't pay attention to the news, and of course, we wouldn't tell you."

Indeed.

At that time, Chen Fang had just arrived in Guyang City.

There was a lot on his plate, and he really hadn't paid attention.

Shortly after the wedding, Zhong Pan officially appointed He Hong as the president of Sen Can Group, putting him in charge of managing the group's business.

Not long after their marriage.

Zhong Xiqian began experiencing pregnancy symptoms.

He Hong sent Zhong Xiqian to the best vacation spot abroad and hired several people to take care of her; everyone thought He Hong was doting on his wife.

But no one expected He Hong to have ulterior motives.

Before the union between Yafei Group and Sen Can Group, it was already in a state of insolvency, and even Zhong Pan, shrewd as he was, had been deceived, which speaks to the He Family's cunning methods.

After sending Zhong Xiqian away.

He first placed Zhong Pan under house arrest.

Then, he began a major overhaul of Sen Can Group.

The old guards were removed from the company under various pretexts, and he then intimidated and threatened the board members, manipulated the elections, and secured the position of chairman of the board.

With this, Sen Can Group had completely fallen into his hands as his private property.

All these developments.

Zhong Xiqian, who was overseas for her pregnancy, was unaware of.

An old subordinate of her father risked his life to call her; by then, Zhong Xiqian was already over seven months pregnant.

She went to great lengths to escape surveillance from He Hong's subordinates and returned home.

Secretly rallying a group of people loyal to the Zhong Family, she aimed to take back Sen Can Group.

But her plans fell apart just as Zhong Xiqian was about to give birth.

"Then how did the two of them end up in a detention center?"

Chen Fang asked.

"It was all a plot devised by He Hong to thoroughly control Sen Can Group. He Hong instructed the finance department to commit tax evasion, which led to Zhong Pan and Zhong Xiqian, acting as the legal persons, being arrested by the tax authorities,"

Gao Younan said.

Chen Fang turned his head to look at the child in the swaddling clothes.

He said, "So how did the child end up in your custody?"

Chen Fang asked.
