Chapter 129: It Really Has Nothing to Do with Me (4)

“What should I do? What should I do?” Zheng Kang paced anxiously. Just as he finished speaking, his phone rang again.

This time, it was his mother calling.

Seeing her name on the screen, Zheng Kang felt as if he had found a lifeline. He quickly answered, immediately blurting out, “Mom! I’m finished! The Zheng family is finished! We’ve been framed! Mom, please save me—I don’t want to die! I’m still young. I don’t want to go to prison, and I definitely don’t want to be mocked and become the laughingstock of the world!”

“Why panic? You may be part of the Zheng family, but you’re not in a core position at the company. Besides, you’re just an employee of Zheng Group, not some antique relic. These matters have nothing to do with you financially. At worst, you’ll be mocked because of those videos.”

“Then what should I do now?”

“Live well, find out who’s behind this, and help the Zheng family seek revenge!”

“And you?”

“I’ve been arrested. I’m the legal representative of Zheng Group, and your father is the chairman. Neither of us can escape this no matter what. But we will hire the best lawyers and try to minimize the punishment. The rest is up to you.”

With that, she hung up.

“Mom! Mom!” Zheng Kang screamed into the phone, but it was already too late. The line was disconnected—someone else must have taken over the call.

Now, it was truly over.

Despair engulfed Zheng Kang’s heart.

At that moment, his ears were filled with news reports about him.

“Did you see? Zheng Group has been exposed in a massive scandal—a shocking disgrace!”

“I never expected the Zheng Group to be so filthy. I can’t even imagine it.”

“Is it always this disgusting among the wealthy? That Zheng Kang and his parents have completely shattered my worldview!”

“That Zheng Kang is so short, yet still so promiscuous. How does he have the nerve?”

“Short? Where is he short?”

“Other than height, what else?”

“Yeah, that’s true.”

“Today, QianDu’s traffic has been crazy. Just as my brother-in-law set a new record, Zheng Group has already surpassed him. It’s unbelievably strong!”

“Well, who doesn’t love gossip?”

This barrage of words nearly made Zheng Kang break down and spit blood.

He was almost certain that if he shouted, “I am Zheng Kang!” everyone on the street would rush over to see him.

But those words from the others also sparked an idea in his mind.

“Yang Xiaofan? You bastard! Just wait! If I don’t kill you, I’m not Zheng Kang!”

Snorting coldly, Zheng Kang stormed to his Lamborghini Aventador and sped off.

“Hey! Wang Peng, can you find out where a guy named Yang Xiaofan is right now?”

“Young master, what do you want with him?”

“I want to chop him to pieces!”

“Uh, young master, please don’t do anything rash. Murder is illegal.”

“I don’t care if it’s illegal; I’m going to chop him up! Find him immediately. I’ll pay you one million.”

“All right, I’ll start investigating right away.”

Soon, Zheng Kang received a message.

Following it, he arrived at the Northern Su Hotel.

Yang Xiaofan and his group were staying here.

Although Zheng Group was in crisis, not everyone yet knew about the scandal. Plus, Zheng Kang still had money. After spending a bit, he quickly reached the presidential suite on the top floor.

Grabbing a dining knife from the hallway table, Zheng Kang approached Yang Xiaofan’s door and pressed the doorbell.

“Who is it?” came Yang Xiaofan’s voice from inside.

Zheng Kang quickly lowered his voice, “Dinner delivery.”

“Then come in.”

Yang Xiaofan unlocked the door from inside. Zheng Kang barged in, closing the door behind him, holding the knife and pointing it directly at Yang Xiaofan’s nose.

“Damn you! You son of a dog! How dare you frame me! You’ve ruined the Zheng family—I’m going to kill you!”

A flicker of panic flashed in Yang Xiaofan’s eyes. He took a step back, grabbed a chair to defend himself, and trembled as he shouted, “Zheng Kang, don’t do anything foolish! What are you trying to do? Murder is illegal! You can’t lose your mind just because I beat you up!”

“Cut the crap! You hacked into the Zheng Group’s network and destroyed my entire family. Today, I’m going to settle this with you.”

“The Zheng Group’s network? What network?”

“Stop pretending! I’ve only got into a conflict with you recently. Apart from you, who else would attack the Zheng family?”

“Zheng Kang, you must be mistaken. I don’t even understand what you’re talking about. What network? At most, I watch some videos and log into QQ. What does your company’s network have to do with me?”

Zheng Kang narrowed his eyes.

“Are you really not responsible?”

“What could I have done? I don’t even get what you’re saying.”

Yang Xiaofan’s expression was sincere, innocent, wronged, with a hint of confusion and bewilderment.

Zheng Kang was utterly perplexed.

Could it really not have been Yang Xiaofan?

Judging by his expression, it didn’t seem like he was lying or acting.

If he were acting, his skills would eclipse even the best actors.

That was impossible!

Being a top actor was an extraordinary feat—among all the actors in the world, how many achieve that?

Yang Xiaofan was only twenty. Even if he had been training since birth, he couldn’t have perfected such acting skills without any flaws.

Moreover, if he were acting, where would he have gotten such advanced computer skills?

Even if he had been training since birth, mastering two completely different skills to their peaks was practically impossible.

Many spend their entire lives and can’t master even one.

Thinking this through, Zheng Kang gradually calmed down.

Yang Xiaofan glanced at him cautiously, cleared his throat, and said, “So, what exactly happened to your company’s network? Could it be that, like Sister Shu Yu’s company, you’ve got a mole?”

“A mole?”

Zheng Kang’s pupils contracted sharply as cold sweat broke out all over him.

The company’s network had always been secure—until recently, when Li Dacheng sent him files from Mu Group. Those were the only files not verified through the company’s internal secure network.

If there was a problem, it had to be with Li Dacheng’s files!

Yang Xiaofan looked pitiful and said, “Looks like you really have a mole. Damn it, moles are despicable. If it were me, I’d stab them to death!”

This made Zheng Kang even angrier.

He clenched his jaw and fists, his eyes burning with rage.

“Damn Li Dacheng! If I don’t kill you, I’ll take your name!”

After cursing, Zheng Kang quickly fled from the presidential suite.

As he turned, the innocent, simple expression on Yang Xiaofan’s face vanished without a trace, replaced by something else entirely.
