After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 372: Chapter 372: The Truth

Yun Shifei made a soft sound: "Dad, don’t worry, it’s nothing."

"But I’ve heard he almost beat Zhao Haishuang to death."

Yun Tiancheng knew Zhao Haishuang deserved it, but still, if it were him, he would never have thought of using such a cold-blooded method to beat someone to death.

He could kill Zhao Haishuang today, and if Shi Fei angered him tomorrow, wouldn’t he also beat Shi Fei to death?

Yun Shifei lowered her gaze. She understood that Yun Tiancheng’s concern wasn’t entirely unwarranted.

Yet, she still replied, "Dad, rest assured, he won’t do that to me."

She believed Cheng Lie wasn’t that kind of person, and besides, she wouldn’t provoke Cheng Lie the way Zhao Haishuang did.

However, she hadn’t yet realized that the events of the past had become an impassable obstacle for Cheng Lie.

Late at night, Cheng Lie lay on the hospital bed, listening to the news Zhao Pan was delivering.

Zhao Pan entered holding a thick file folder.

He placed the folder in front of Cheng Lie and said, "Mr. Cheng, our people looked into your past life’s trajectory. These are some of the findings."

He even investigated all the friends and relatives of Zhao Haishuang and Cheng Guomin thoroughly.

Knowing Cheng Lie was impatient, he made sure to get everything done as quickly as possible that day.

Recalling the results he’d seen, he couldn’t help but sigh.

Cheng Guomin truly was a villain of historic proportions.

Cheng Lie looked at the materials, which even included photos of himself from when he was very small. If Zhao Pan hadn’t told him the child in the picture was him, he wouldn’t have recognized it.

The black-and-white photo showed a man and a woman holding him in the middle.

The man made Cheng Lie narrow his eyes. If you said he didn’t resemble Cheng Guomin, that wasn’t entirely true; their brows and eyes had some similarity.

Even if someone told him this was Cheng Guomin in his youth, he wouldn’t completely disbelieve it.

Seeing Cheng Lie staring at the photo, Zhao Pan said, "This is your biological father."
