Ch 42 (Part 1): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

Zheng Yating has never been as crazy as she is at this moment.

Even though she has been mercilessly rejected by Fang Yandong countless times, and despite years of futile pursuit resulting in Fang Yandong’s disgust, she has never felt such a strong impulse to destroy everything as she does now.

Zheng Yating knows she is crazy.

She went crazy when she fell in love with Fang Yandong, even though she can no longer remember why she loved him. Clearly, this man’s attitude towards her has been extremely cruel. But once Fang Yandong’s name became engraved in her stubborn soul, she could never be normal again.

She is willing to do anything for Fang Yandong.

She has devoted her entire life to this goal, even abandoning her basic dignity.

However, someone now tells her that she doesn’t need to waste so much effort, that she can easily obtain what she has always dreamed of.

But because of her sister’s words.

All these things that should have belonged to her have disappeared, enjoyed by someone else.

“Zheng Yaxue, as the primary defendant, may have provided significant false testimony in order to avoid conviction. So, Ms. Zheng Yating, we hope you can cooperate with the investigation.”

“After all, Zheng Yaxue not only confessed how she became Mr. Fang’s lover but is now also accusing Mr. Fang of masterminding all her crimes. Ms. Zheng Yating, if you truly have feelings for Mr. Fang, please do not conceal the truth anymore. We are conducting a passive interrogation…”

The police tried to persuade her.

In fact, when Tang Xun reported the case, he basically revealed all the truths and provided substantial evidence to directly convict the Zheng sisters.

But Fang Ziyang’s target of attack was not just these two sisters. His main goal was to strike a blow against Fang Yandong and Yan Tong by using this case, to provoke these people into falling into his next trap.

There are many hidden secrets that can only be known within the plot, which he cannot directly disclose. He can only let these people tear each other apart.

Among them, Zheng Yating is the best breakthrough point.

This woman is insane. When she finds out what her sister has done, she will definitely expose everything and drag everyone down into hell together.

Including Fang Yandong, she won’t let anyone off the hook. If she can’t have it, she will destroy it along with herself.

Zheng Yating is characterized by this madness.

“Fine, I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything…”

Zheng Yating’s voice was hoarse, her eyes filled with endless madness.

…

On May 16, Sunday, a gossip news and a post appeared on the internet, triggering the largest wave of shock in the country this year.

With the passage of time, the incident eventually made it to the central news coverage.

Of course, at this early stage, the main focus of discussion was on social media.

The reason why the incident quickly spread through gossip news and the post was due to Tang Xun’s social status as a prominent figure. A scandal involving a young genius scientist’s sensational family background is much more enticing than any entertainment industry scandal or affair!

One of the youngest scientific talents, a feud between influential families, a sensational family background, child swapping…

This is even more dramatic than a TV series and attracts the interest of not only young people but also middle-aged women.

The gossip news and the post were specifically written by Xie Zheng.

The entire article didn’t fabricate much; ninety percent of it was based on facts. However, the language was sharp, and certain negative aspects were exaggerated to expose key revelations that the public easily overlooked or couldn’t imagine, simplifying the complex situation.

In short, it is necessary to ensure that every person who knows the truth is aware of the wickedness of Fang Yandong and others.

Take control of the direction of public opinion first to prevent Fang Yandong and others from using public opinion against them when they realize it.

In fact, their preparations have been very successful. After reading the gossip news and the explosive “inside story” post, netizens exploded with reactions.

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

“Oh my god, is this a TV drama? It must be a TV drama. Does such a thing really happen in real life?”

“It’s not impossible. Sometimes real life is even more dramatic than TV…”

“They have reported the case and brought it to court. How can it be fake? Besides, Tang Xun’s identity as a respected scientific talent is well-known. If it wasn’t true, would they dare to make such a big fuss?”

“Although it’s unbelievable, if all of this is true… it’s just terrifying.”

“I thought I already knew about the scandals in the entertainment industry, but now I realize how shallow my knowledge was!”

“Wait, so you’re saying that this Fang Yandong is not the loving husband and father as rumored, but rather a heartless person. Not only did he have an affair within his marriage, but he also swapped children with his mistress, allowing an illegitimate child to take someone else’s identity and inherit the original wife’s family estate?”

“That’s not all. This mistress even brainwashed Mr. Tang from a young age, occupying his identity and his wealth. And then she made Mr. Tang selflessly dedicate himself to her son!”

“Damn, what kind of luck did this person have to encounter such a terrifying woman…”

All netizens were shocked and outraged by Zheng Yaxue’s manipulative actions.

And the revelations that came out from Zheng Yating’s side also left netizens dumbfounded.

Although Zheng Yating was not as greedy and malicious as her sister, the things she did to marry Fang Yandong were enough to leave people speechless.

“She secretly went for artificial insemination just to marry this man? Isn’t that a crime?”

“So, Yan Tong was abducted by her. No wonder when Fang Ziyang mentioned Yan Tong in the previous incident, he said that bad luck started after encountering Yan Tong. It seems that Yan Tong knew he was a ‘bastard’ and felt resentful, intentionally setting traps for him…”

“It’s likely the truth. After all, Fang Ziyang’s reputation was tarnished, and his advantage would be greater when he returns to the Fang family. Parents usually prefer obedient children.”

“Although Yan Tong is also a victim, manipulated by his adoptive mother, from this perspective, he’s not a good person either… After all, his adoptive mother taught him to return to the Fang family but didn’t teach him to steal Fang Ziyang’s fiancé.”

“I have to say, Tang Xun and Young Master Fang, these two brothers… have really been through a lot! One was deceived and used by his adoptive mother, and the other was neglected by his biological father…”

“Oh my god, I can’t even imagine how I would react if this happened to me!”

Netizens are a group easily swayed by manipulation.

Although the police have not publicly confirmed the truth and facts, people already believe in the gossip news and the details revealed in the post.

Fang Yandong’s ruthlessness, Zheng Yaxue’s hypocrisy, Zheng Yating’s madness… it’s all exposed for everyone to see.

As for Yan Tong, even though there is no solid evidence of him doing something wrong, netizens are not fools. They can guess from various clues that this seemingly gentle and innocent Yan Tong is probably not as harmless as he appears.

Combined with the reversal in the previous Fang Ziyang incident, it will be much more difficult for Yan Tong to easily deceive people with a “white lotus” image.

With the two main attractions of Tang Xun’s scientific genius and the feud between influential families, the news spread rapidly.

By the afternoon, it became a hot topic on Weibo.

And it quickly spread through various social media platforms’ chat groups…

The paparazzi, who specialize in digging up gossip about influential families, even showed up with their cameras at the entrance of the Fang family’s villa and the building of the Fang Group.

Caught off guard and unable to accept the reality, Fang Qianhao, who wanted to go out and have a drink at a bar, fell into the reporters’ trap, bombarded with a series of questions.

“Mr. Fang, is it true that you are your father’s illegitimate child?”

“Mr. Fang, what are your thoughts on your biological mother swapping you and taking over someone else’s life?”

“Mr. Fang, is it true that you have known about your true identity all along, and that’s why you have had a strained relationship with your younger brother?”

And so on.

These paparazzi are different from ordinary journalists; they thrive on digging up gossip. They often disregard professional ethics and are more interested in sensational news. Who cares if the people involved are happy or not?

Fang Ziyang had experienced this in his past life and was pushed to the brink of depression by these people multiple times. Even after being reborn, the fear caused by those people, by these people… still left scars on his mind that were difficult to heal.

Now, Fang Qianhao is experiencing what he had gone through before.

Compared to his past self, Fang Qianhao’s mental resilience is clearly weaker. He lost his temper on the spot, smashing a paparazzo’s camera and angrily shouting,

“Get lost! All of you get lost! These are all nonsense. I am my father’s legitimate son. I’m not an illegitimate child. If you keep spreading lies, I will sue you for defamation! I’ll send you all to jail!”

Fang Qianhao was on the verge of a breakdown.

He simply couldn’t accept the reality of being an illegitimate child. He had always taken pride in being the outstanding eldest son of the Fang family and being valued and nurtured by his father. He believed that he received attention because of his own merits.

But now the truth told him that everything he had was someone else’s, and he was valued by his father because he was the child of another woman.

Even though that woman was his father’s beloved, it didn’t change the fact that he was an illegitimate child!

His pride and confidence were built on the identity of being the young master of the Fang family. Without that identity, he is nothing and even subject to ridicule.

Fang Qianhao had no idea what to do. Even the news that Yan Tong was not his real younger brother couldn’t bring him any joy.

He did like Yan Tong, that’s true, but just like Fang Yandong, his own interests were ultimately more important to him.

The paparazzi were like sticky candies that couldn’t be shaken off.

Fang Qianhao had no choice but to hide at home, constantly contacting the police to inquire about his father and the case’s situation. Then he would vent his frustrations by breaking things and throwing tantrums, unable to do anything else.
