Chapter 358

Gong Shuzhe was one generation older than Qin Muchen after all, and was able to regain his composure in an instant before starting hesitantly, "Are you really... Qin Li's son?" Even when he had interacted with Qin Muchen before, his emotions were never as complicated as today. He didn't think that Qin Li would actually bear him a son and what was more, he was such an outstanding young man.

Whenever he thought about how brilliant Gong Zeyang was when he was young, but who deteriorated over the years, his gaze on Qin Muchen became even more adoring, as if he was regarding him as his

own son.

Su Ziyue stole a glance at Qin Muchen, realizing that it was not her place to speak now. However, Qin Muchen appeared unmoved by the affectionate look from Gong Shuzhe. "How did my mom die?"

"What?" Gong Shuzhe gasped in shock.

Qin Muchen's face was straight and his eyes were depressed as he asked again, "Fifteen years ago, how did Qin Li die that night at the charity banquet?"

"I don't know. It was all..." he drifted as he turned suddenly to look at Su Ziyue. "It was Su Yizi..."

With a stony face, Qin Muchen pressed on, "I'll ask you this, then. A month ago in L City, who was the perpetrator when Su Ziyue was almost hit by a minivan?"

At the mention of L City, Su Ziyue turned her head up sharply; she had almost forgotten about that incident and it didn't occur to her that he was investigating it in the dark. She thought to herself, Was Gong Shuzhe planning to silence me because he found out from Liu Zipei that I wanted to look into Su Yizi's case again? However, he never would have guessed that Qin Muchen was actually Qin Li's son.

Su Ziyue stared at Qin Muchen before shifting her gaze to Gong Shuzhe. The elegant Gong Shuzhe which she recalled in her memory was now shaking in fear. “So you're not answering, are you?" Qin Muchen snorted and continued, "A few days ago when you asked Su Ziyue out for coffee, was the drug you gave her from Gricy?"

Gong Shuzhe's face fell with every word he said. By the time Qin Muchen finished his last question, Gong Shuzhe's face had turned completely sullen. "What did you say? I don't know anything about Gricy."

The way he couldn't wait to deny everything was enough proof that he had indeed bought the drug from Gricy. Su Ziyue could see that Qin Muchen's hands at his sides were now tightening into fists.

Suddenly, a loud bang came from outside the door and followed by Gong Zeyang's voice. "Qin Muchen, what are you doing to my father? Let me in if you're a man!" His voice kept roaring from outside the door

Unbothered by it, Qin Muchen merely stared fixedly at Gong Shuzhe with an eerie, cold look in his eyes, which sent shivers down Gong Shuzhe's spine. He started to break out in cold sweat on his forehead. Even Su Ziyue was a little afraid of him when he was looking like this.

Out of the blue, Qin Muchen yelled, "Let him in!"

The men outside released Gong Zeyang and opened up a path for him. Another loud bang ensued when he pushed the door open. His eyes shone brightly when he saw Su Ziyue, but he quickly turned to look at Gong Shuzhe, not forgetting the real reason he came here for. Walking briskly to his father, he asked him anxiously, "Dad, are you alright?"

Gong Shuzhe's face was cold to him as he replied, "What are you doing here? You should leave now!"

"Dad!" he exclaimed, disgruntled. He then cast a look at Qin Muchen, asking, "Do you think that he will acknowledge you? A person like him-"

Furrowing her brows, Su Ziyue cut him off coldly, "What sort of person is he?"

"Ziyue, he "

"I know what sort of person my husband is, and I don't need anyone else to tell me that," she said as she stood up slowly, her dewy eyes chilly as she turned to look at Gong Shuzhe. "Don't you feel guilty for al these years when I've been calling you 'Uncle Gong'? You must be so proud that my dad took the rap for your deeds! While you continued to be the President of Gong Group, my innocent father was cast aside and even..." Died in prison because of you. The hatred in her eyes was deep as she spat, "Uncle Gong, those are two lives! Do you really think that you can get away with it your whole life?"

Shocked, Gong Zeyang stared at her. "Ziyue, what are you talking about? Which two lives?"

But her eyes remained on Gong Shuzhe. "Uncle Gong, your son is asking you about the two lives. Explain it to him yourself."

Gong Shuzhe's face carried an absolute crestfallen look. Although he framed Su Yizi to escape from the responsibility for the death he caused, the conscience in him hadn't diminished completely. However, he didn't want Gong Zeyang to know about what he did.

Turning to look at him suddenly, Gong Zeyang demanded, "Dad, which two lives?"

Staring at him coldly, Gong Shuzhe shouted at him in reply, "They're spouting nonsense. You need to leave now. You have no business here!"

Qin Muchen, who was silent for a while now, suddenly spoke up, "You really don't want to fill up your son's curiosity? If that's the case, then I'll explain it for you. Sixteen years ago, on the night of the charity banquet, your father, Gong Shuzhe ran into his first love, Qin Li. In his half-drunken state, he harbored malicious intent toward her and accidentally killed her, while she was resisting and fighting for her life!" He spoke through gritted teeth when he came across the phrase 'killed her' and Su Ziyue turned to look at him in shock.

At his words, Gong Shuzhe staggered and stared at him, tongue-tied. "You..."

With an eerie look, Qin Muchen asked, "Do you want me to go into the details?"

Tugging at his arm, Su Ziyue whispered, "Qin Muchen..."

Without turning to look at her, he grabbed her hand in a swift move with a force so great that it hurt her, but she beared with it and didn't make a sound.

Next to them, Gong Zeyang was already stunned speechless. "Dad, is it true about what he just said?"

Forlorn, Gong Shuzhe fell back into his seat. From the hatred in Qin Muchen's eyes, he could tell that he was no match against him, and anymore struggles would be nothing but a futile effort. This son who appeared out of nowhere didn't have any emotional attachments to him and wouldn't spare any of his feelings. He just didn't expect that someone would dig out this matter when he was completely unguarded, even after so many years had passed. And this person was none other than his own biological son!

"So, Uncle Su is... innocent? You set him up together with the members from the Su Family? You forced me to marry that b*tch, Su Yige, because they have the goods on you?" All of a sudden, he came to a realization on many matters.

For someone like Gong Shuzhe-who worried so much about family status and reputation-to have a gracious and pleasing countenance with Su Ziyue, was it also because he was afraid that she would come to suspect him one day?
