Ch 42 (Part 3): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

Fang Ziyang had put in so much effort to create this situation, so how could he miss the opportunity to take a bite out of him?

While Fang Yandong was still unable to leave, Fang Ziyang and Tang Xun went directly to find Li Zhiren and had a secret conversation for two hours. They finalized the end of the case, and if they successfully recovered all of their mother’s shares, Li Zhiren would take over everything.

If Fang Yandong didn’t want to work for Li Zhiren in a subservient manner, then his only choice would be to leave the Fang family and start anew.

And that was exactly what Fang Ziyang wanted.

But before that, he had one more thing to do, and that was regarding Yan Tong.

Hadn’t Yan Tong always wanted to steal his golden finger? Now he was giving Yan Tong the opportunity. However, he didn’t know if Yan Tong would be able to handle the “consequences” brought by the golden finger in the future.

…

Upon hearing the news that Yan Tong had come out of the police station, Fang Ziyang immediately called back to the Fang family and instructed Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhang to start packing his things. He was preparing to move out of the Fang family and seek refuge with his brother.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhang didn’t know what he was up to, but recent events in the Fang family had been enough for them to see the methods of this young master. Whenever the young master took action, someone would always suffer a great loss. Faced with such a ruthless young master, they no longer dared to have any second thoughts.

The best strategy for ordinary people was to say less, do more, and ask fewer questions in order to survive.

So when Yan Tong, looking exhausted, returned to the Fang family and saw the bustling scene of packing as if they were moving, he had a bad premonition.

Now the Fang family was his temporary reliance. What would he do if something happened to the Fang family? Even though it had been revealed that he wasn’t the son of the Fang family, his household registration was under the Fang family. He could still be considered an adopted son even if he wasn’t an illegitimate child.

As long as he had thick-skinned, if he could appease Fang Yandong and his father, what did it matter whether there was blood relationship with the Fang family? With his name on the household registration, he was a young master of the Fang family.

After being held at the police station for several tens of hours, he gradually calmed down.

So what if Tang Xun hadn’t died? So what if Fang Ziyang and his brother were reconciled? He had failed to kill Tang Xun last time, but he could try again. He had the advantage of the plot. What was there to fear? He still had a chance to turn the tables. The future was long. How could he give up so quickly?

But the chaotic scene in the Fang family made him a little anxious.

Yan Tong quickly grabbed a servant and asked, “What’s happening in the house? Why are they packing? Where are the eldest young master and the second young master?”

There had already been enough changes, and he didn’t want to hear any more bad news!

The servant, with a look of disdain and resentment, thought that Yan Tong was truly a troublemaker. Even before he came to the Fang family, the young master had been attacked by the entire internet. And now, as soon as he arrived at the Fang family, so many things happened as if he were a harbinger of disaster.

But even though they thought this way, the servant didn’t dare say it out loud.

After all, Fang Qianhao’s influence still existed, and Fang Qianhao valued Yan Tong. They didn’t dare to offend him.

“Young Master, on the night of the banquet, the second young master left home and hasn’t returned since. The eldest young master is in a bad mood and locked himself in his room. These are the second young master’s things. When the second young master called, he said he’s going to move out…”

“Fang Ziyang is going to move out?”

Yan Tong’s face immediately changed upon hearing this.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t bear Fang Ziyang moving out, but he thought about the golden finger that he hadn’t obtained yet!

If Fang Ziyang moved out now, where would he find the golden finger? He only knew that it was a jade pendant necklace, but he didn’t know where the item was!

Now Yan Tong was truly panicked.

Even when he found out that Tang Xun wasn’t dead, he hadn’t been this panicked. Tang Xun was indeed formidable, a scientific genius, but the golden finger was the true key to victory! Once he obtained the golden finger, with the high-tech data from beyond this era, ten Tang Xuns wouldn’t amount to much.

But if he couldn’t obtain the golden finger and Fang Ziyang discovered the item, he would truly have no chance to turn the tables.

Although he didn’t want to inflate the enemy’s prestige, Yan Tong had to admit that Fang Ziyang’s talent in scientific research was no less than that of his brother.

In the half of the book he had read, the two brothers had achieved miracles together, opening the door to rapid development of Earth’s technology…

To put it bluntly, whoever possessed the golden finger would be the legend of the future!

No, he had to obtain the golden finger.

Yan Tong gritted his teeth and looked around, seeing that all the servants were busy and no one noticed him. He was thinking of sneaking into Fang Ziyang’s room discreetly.

At the end of the corridor, there was suddenly a commotion coming from Fang Qianhao’s room.

Fang Qianhao didn’t know what had happened, but he was extremely agitated and pushed Aunt Zhang out of the room, causing her to fall to the ground. He angrily shouted,

“Get out! All of you, get out! The police investigation is still ongoing, and there’s no court verdict yet. All the evidence hasn’t been clarified, and that woman, who knows where she came from, is not my mother. My mother is Lu Fei! Lu Fei!”

“Fang Ziyang is such a bastard, using a chicken feather as an arrow. Who does he think he is to make me hand over my mother’s belongings? What can he do to me if I don’t give them to him?”

Fang Qianhao’s expression was ferocious, as if he wanted to kill someone.

A while ago, Aunt Zhang came to him and said that Fang Ziyang wanted her to retrieve their mother’s belongings. It was despicable! The matter hadn’t been resolved yet!

Aunt Zhang looked troubled, but she still spoke with a brave face.

“Young Master, I don’t want to offend you like this, but you also know the second young master’s temper. We have no choice… The second young master said that you can keep the other things, but you must give him the necklace belonging to the lady.”

“The young… the young master said that no matter whether you are the lady’s son or not, he is certain. He doesn’t care about your disputes with Mr. Tang, but he must retrieve the lady’s belongings now…”

Not care?

It was as good as pointing his finger at him and telling him to get lost.

Fang Qianhao’s eyes turned red with anger. “Get lost! Those things are mine, and I won’t hand them over! Besides, I don’t even know what necklace you’re talking about!”

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

With so many belongings left by his mother, Fang Qianhao couldn’t possibly remember every single one of them. Fang Ziyang was clearly here to make trouble for him.

Angry, he forcefully pushed Aunt Zhang away once again.

Fang Qianhao turned around and slammed the door shut.

Upon hearing this, Yan Tong’s heart skipped a beat. He approached Aunt Zhang and pretended to show concern as he asked, “Aunt Zhang, what happened exactly? What necklace belonging to the lady caused such a fierce dispute between the two brothers?”

“What’s it to you?”

Aunt Zhang didn’t answer and looked at Yan Tong with disdain and impatience.

She had been a servant in the Fang family for decades and had deep experience. Aside from the master and young master, she was the highest authority in the villa. Even if Yan Tong wasn’t really the son of the Fang family, even if he was a bastard son, he still had to show her some respect.

Aunt Zhang had never treated Yan Tong well before, and now she naturally treated him even worse.

This made Yan Tong grit his teeth, but for the sake of his treasure, he held back and immediately put on a pitiful expression with reddened eyes.

“I’m sorry, Aunt Zhang. I… I’m just concerned about the two brothers. With so many things happening in the family now, Dad is still stuck in the police station. If the two brothers keep fighting, there won’t be anyone to go to the police station and bail out Dad. I’m really worried…”

Aunt Zhang didn’t believe it. She was sharp and could see through Yan Tong’s true nature.

However, with the young master’s instructions, she naturally had to play along.

After carefully looking at Yan Tong, Aunt Zhang hesitated for a moment before taking out her phone and showing him a photo.

“You do have a point. It wouldn’t be good if the young master and the eldest young master kept fighting while the master is away. Here, it’s this necklace. It was the lady’s favorite piece of jewelry when she was alive. It seems that it was previously given to the eldest young master, but now the second young master wants it…”

On her phone was a photo of Mother Lu wearing the necklace.

It was a very ordinary jade pendant necklace, quite inconspicuous and didn’t look like a valuable piece of jewelry.

However, when Yan Tong saw it, his eyes immediately narrowed.

The style of the necklace was very ordinary, with a teardrop-shaped jade pendant. It was the golden finger! It was definitely the golden finger!

Yan Tong’s breathing became heavy, and his heart pounded.

After a while, he showed his usual timid smile to Aunt Zhang and said, “Aunt Zhang, I have a better relationship with the eldest brother. I’ll go in and persuade him. You can go about your business for now, and I’ll talk to the eldest brother.”

“Well… alright, you go and persuade the eldest young master.”

Aunt Zhang hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Once Aunt Zhang left, Yan Tong’s timid expression immediately disappeared. He took a deep breath to suppress his excitement, thought about his words, and then knocked on Fang Qianhao’s door.
