The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!-Chapter 859: This Matter Isn’t Settled Yet

He furrowed his brows, paused for a moment, and looked somewhat defeated as he glanced at Rong Ling: "I have no way out. The forces behind him are immense. His sister is a renowned politician, and the capital power controlled by his father has infiltrated widely. Xiaoyi is just one of the many victims."

Rong Ling suppressed his anger: "Why are you telling me this only now?"

Chu Yunhang replied: "Xiaoyi refuses to speak about it. For a long time, whenever the man’s name was mentioned, she would have a stress reaction. Moreover... that man recorded a video. To this day, that video is still in his possession."

Rong Ling’s expression was shocked: "Video?"

Chu Yunhang said: "He said... if Xiaoyi reports to the police or exposes the incident, he will instantly upload the video to the dark web. At that point, the video will spread to global users through the dark web."

Rong Ling’s face turned a few shades darker.

He said coldly: "Yesterday, when I asked about the child’s background, you didn’t mention a word. You’d rather carry such a ’crime’ on your back than explain, why?"

Chu Yunhang said: "Actually... I just hope this matter can pass quickly. Since this issue can’t be pursued, it’s better... not to let Xiaoyi remember it. She’s very afraid, afraid of how others will look at her once it’s revealed."

Rong Ling sneered: "Why can’t it be pursued?"

Chu Yunhang: "If truly pursued, this matter would likely escalate to a diplomatic incident."

He slowly stood up: "Mr. Rong, you should know better than I do what kind of society the United States is. Capital is praised. Capital manipulates politics, using it for its own gain. The entire nation’s power has been hollowed out by capital; the DuPont family is so large, if they want to suppress this issue... it’s unlikely they’ll allow it to cause any waves."

Rong Ling stood up and walked in front of him: "You shouldn’t have kept it from me until now!"

Chu Yunhang: "So now I’m telling you! Not to shirk responsibility and relationships, but because I talked with Xiaoyi for a long time last night. She seems to be gradually letting the matter go, which shows she is slowly emerging from its shadows."

Rong Ling clenched his fist, but then suddenly relaxed it.

"She must be very frightened."

Chu Yunhang was momentarily stunned.

Rong Ling said: "Xiaoyi has been very sensible since childhood. She and I are different. Our father was a bastard, Xiaoyi was domestically abused by him since she was young. So small, so weak, she never dared to resist. Because resistance only brought worse beatings. So encountering anything, she never dared to speak up, it’s a deep-seated timidity within her."

Some children become extreme in temperament, growing up in violence, gradually developing an antisocial personality, with hatred and resentment occupying their hearts.

However, some children are inherently kind, even when faced with so much suffering and violence, they still face the world with a gentle heart.

Xiaoyi is one of the latter.

At first, when she wanted to study abroad, Rong Ling strongly opposed it.

But she was so determined, she completed all her paperwork by herself and bought the ticket.

He then knew she had grown up, and would make her own choices in everything.

That was the first time he let her go.

Now, he inevitably regrets that decision: "I shouldn’t have let her study in the United States back then."

Chu Yunhang remained silent.

Rong Ling suddenly said coldly: "Hua Fu DuPont."

He recited the name repeatedly and suddenly said: "I understand now."

He looked at Chu Yunhang and said: "Yesterday, I was too hasty and didn’t handle it well. If I offended you in any way, I apologize here."

Chu Yunhang said: "You did nothing wrong, I’m the one at fault."

Rong Ling: "You can leave now."

Chu Yunhang nodded.

He walked out of the study and went downstairs.

In the living room, Rong Xiaoyi saw him come down and became a little tense.

What did he and brother talk about upstairs?

That matter, did he mention it to brother?

Just thinking that Chu Yunhang might have talked to Rong Ling about that matter made Rong Xiaoyi feel uneasy, her shoulders slightly trembling.

Li Junyan saw her shoulders tense up, looking a bit lost, and asked: "Xiaoyi, what’s wrong?"

Rong Xiaoyi said: "I’m fine, I’m fine..."

Li Yufei glanced at Li Junyan, signaling with her eyes.

Li Junyan immediately got up and headed upstairs.

Chu Yunhang came down and sat next to Rong Xiaoyi.

Li Junyan walked to the study door, knocked gently, but found the door slightly ajar.

He pushed the door open and asked: "Dad, can I come in?"

Rong Ling said: "Come in."

Li Junyan walked in and saw Rong Ling sitting on the sofa, with a furrowed brow and a gloomy expression.

Li Junyan casually closed the door: "What’s going on, what did he say to you?"

Rong Ling unexpectedly uttered a name: "Hua Fu DuPont."

Li Junyan: "...Hmm?"

Rong Ling: "Help me thoroughly investigate this person."

Li Junyan was momentarily bewildered, then lightly nodded: "Okay."

Rong Ling: "Rongfeng and DuPont have no dealings, but I’ve heard that DuPont collaborates a lot with Huace."

Li Junyan said: "DuPont has done many projects with Huace."

Rong Ling said: "This matter isn’t resolved yet."

...

Evening.

Huo Tinghan had just finished a meeting when he received a call from Lin Jinmo.

"Tinghan?"

Huo Tinghan: "What’s the matter?"

Lin Jinmo: "Things seem to be a bit off."

Huo Tinghan: "What thing?"

Lin Jinmo: "It seems we might have misunderstood that Chu Yunhang kid."

Huo Tinghan sat up on the sofa, gently rubbing his fingertips: "What misunderstanding?"

Lin Jinmo: "I just got a call from Junyan. He said on the call, Xiaoyi’s child... isn’t Chu Yunhang’s."

Huo Tinghan was suddenly stunned.

He couldn’t help but find it a bit incredible: "Didn’t he personally admit it? If the child isn’t his, whose is it?"

Lin Jinmo: "He said Uncle Rong looked at the child’s photo, and the child is a mixed-race."

Huo Tinghan’s expression slightly stiffened.

Mixed-race...

Lin Jinmo: "Since it’s a mixed-race child, how could the child be Chu Yunhang’s? I’ve heard, the child’s real father has a bit of a background."

Huo Tinghan: "What kind of background?"

Lin Jinmo: "Hua Fu DuPont."

Huo Tinghan’s face suddenly turned cold: "DuPont Group?"

Lin Jinmo: "Does it sound familiar?"

Huo Tinghan coldly chuckled: "More than familiar. So... it’s him."

Lin Jinmo: "He has something of Xiaoyi’s. A video, not sure if it’s real or not."

The two brothers were in perfect sync.

Without spelling it out, they were already on the same page.

Lin Jinmo’s voice was so cold it couldn’t get any colder: "I remember, you have a cooperation with DuPont coming up."

Huo Tinghan: "Yes."
