Chapter 84 Pointing at a cat

[What kind of terrifying nonsense are you spouting? Or have you finally suffered a mental breakdown after being hit by bankruptcy?]

[Aren't you the type who only uses purely commercial apps, and even had the shop owner delete all the useless software?]

Ignoring the message Huo Wenyong had sent earlier, Zhou Gangxun typed, "So, how do I get it over here?"

[It will most likely need to be downloaded from the original computer here in Hong Kong. We'll discuss it again when you return to Hong Kong.]

Immediately following was another message: "Is anyone nearby who would like to call?"

Zhou Gangxun glanced at Ruan Zhijuan, then calmly walked into the bathroom, closed the door, answered the phone, and held it to the left side where he could hear it a little better. "Speak."

"There's some news about the Ruan family that you asked me to investigate."

On the other end of the phone, Huo Wenyong poured a pot of tea and said while drinking it, "We couldn't find anything special about Ruan Zhijuan's previous eighteen or nineteen years. She was just treated like a young master, with good food and drink, and her every request was granted."

"So I asked people to start investigating from nineteen years ago. At that time, the Ruan family was not in Hong Kong, but in the mainland, where they ran a small textile factory. The factory had a corporate crisis and was poorly managed, which led to a large amount of debt."

Huo Wenyong flipped through the investigation documents of the Ruan family in his hand. "At that time, Madam Ruan was pregnant. It was probably because of this incident that the fetal position was unstable, and the child was born prematurely, just seven months after birth."

"Then, not long after the child was born, the company and its businesses began to recover and thrive, eventually reaching their current status."

"But I feel that this matter is mostly related to some kind of ghost or spirit, fortune telling, or birth charts. Otherwise, how could you suddenly have such good luck and turn losses into profits?" Huo Wenyong joked. "You could even share your company's assets with the Ji family."

"The servant who works for the Ruan family said that there is a smell of incense burning in the villa every day. There is a room on the top floor of the third floor that is always locked, and it feels like the incense is coming from there. She said that Madam Ruan has a habit of praying to gods and Buddhas, but she doesn't know if it is the real Buddha or a fake Buddha."

Zhou Gangxun peeked through the crack in the bathroom door at Ruan Zhijuan, who was clutching a tissue on the sofa outside, wiping her phone with her breath, and hummed in response, asking, "Is there any more?"

"Speaking of which, something comes to mind."

A strange sense of excitement suddenly appeared in Huo Wenyong's tone, as if he had grasped the key to some problem.

"Ah Xun, do you remember a year ago, at an auction, you casually mentioned to me that the Ruan family had a cat that was very beautiful, and there were quite a few guests sitting around at the time?"

Zhou Gangxun stared intently at Ruan Zhijuan in the living room and said, "Hmm, very pretty, but a little silly."

"You just said it casually back then, but those people took it to heart and used it as a hint." Huo Wenyong recounted the gossip from back then with great relish. "In order to curry favor with you, one by one, they went to the Ruan family's house to ask about cats, wanting to buy a cat for you, but the Ruan family didn't have any cats."

"At first, I thought you were going to cause trouble for them, that the Ruan family had done something foolish to offend you. But it turns out the Ruan family doesn't have a cat, but they do have a handsome man. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the cat in disguise. And believe it or not, that's what Old Zheng thought back then, and he even considered sending the cat spirit to you."

Ruan Zhijuan only became known a year ago. Before that, no one knew what Ruan's son looked like. They only knew that he was born prematurely, which caused him to be in poor health, so he should not show his face in public.

"So, the search for the cat back then made everyone know almost overnight that the Ruan family had a handsome young master, Ruan Zhijuan."

Huo Wenyong got to the point, his voice suddenly becoming steady and deep, "You saw Ruan Zhijuan back then, didn't you, Ah Xun?"

Zhou Gangxun did not answer.

A year ago, he did see a boy chasing butterflies as he passed by the Ruan family villa.

Unfortunately, she was so foolish that she was only interested in the butterfly's beauty and had no eyes for that insignificant blue and gold butterfly. In the end, she was teased by the butterfly until she was breathless, her little face flushed, and then she tripped and fell flat on her face on the grass.

I fell asleep.

Seeing that Zhou Gangxun didn't speak, Huo Wenyong didn't ask any further. He simply continued along this line, "But now that I look at it again, I see something very strange about this matter. The fake young master has been hiding in the villa, but no outsider has ever seen his true identity..."

"So if someone hadn't pointed out that it was a cat, do you think the Ruan family would have later claimed that the children were switched at birth, and that the story of the real and fake young masters would have occurred?"

There was no need to elaborate further; both of them already knew the answer.

That was the true young master that the Ruan family had always claimed to be, who had been unable to be seen by the public for nineteen years due to premature birth, illness, and poor health.

There was no fake young master, Ruan Zhijuan, who never appeared before.

Zhou Gangxun subconsciously touched his pocket, wanting to smoke.

But his pockets were empty; the cigarettes inside had been thrown away by Ruan Zhijuan when she came back yesterday.

He exhaled a breath of stale air, and there would be no more of his wife, Ruan Zhijuan.

(Here I need to clarify, because some people might not understand. They initially said it was a real and fake young master, but this is the current situation. So there have always been two people, but the position of young master is the same.)

①The fake one is not allowed to show his face, so when the real one comes back, from the outside, he will naturally be the same young master who has always existed, without any distinction between the real and the fake one. The fake one is killed. ②Because everyone knows about the existence of this young master Ruan beforehand because of Zhou, the real young master that the Ruan family brings back later can only appear as two young masters who were switched at birth.
