The crowd inside created an uproar, plunging Chen Chao's face into the pallor of death.
The once-despised abandoned son was now brutally suppressing him. He appeared crazed, unable to comprehend what had happened in between.

There must be some misunderstanding!

Lingnan big shots, the three great families of Qin Province, even the influential figure his father had gone to great lengths to invite — all sneered at them yet showed utmost respect to Chen Yuan. What a stark contrast!
"Dad, you must investigate thoroughly. There must be some misunderstanding, something fishy going on!" Chen Chao was on the verge of a mental collapse, his former arrogance completely vanished.
Chen Yongkang nodded gravely but was secretly just as shocked.
