The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 4

Chapter 620: DNA Report (2)

 "It's me." In a low voice, Ryujin's hand that held onto the document folder subconsciously tightened.

Ryujin took a deep breath, and then said softly, "Master, the DNA results are out."

When he heard the report, a light flashed in Lisa's eyes. He lifted a hand to prop his head up as he asked calmly, "What do they say?"

Lisa did not reveal any emotions and his expression remained calm.

"It's a little complicated. Perhaps, it was as you had guessed. The DNA test proves that Kim Joon and Yeji aren't father and daughter, but..." Ryujin paused, frowning even deeper.

"Master, if it's not him, then all our clues from before... I'm afraid they were all wrong, so all our guesses are disproved, and..."

"Send the results to me." Lisa did not say anything further and just hung up.

Seulgi could vaguely guess something had happened just sitting beside him. He asked in concern, "What's up? Have you found out? Is it really Kim Joon?"

Lisa's calm, handsome expression started to shift. "I feel thankful, yet I have a headache. Her biological father is confirmed not to be Kim Joon."

"It's not? Who could it be then?"

When Seulgi heard this, he was shocked as well. Actually, he had pretty much set his mind on the person being Kim Joon because if he was, then it could explain all of the things that had happened!

"Didn't we already confirm that Mr. Wen is Kim Joon?" Seulgi looked at Lisa in puzzlement.

Lisa sighed. He took his tea and dragged a sip. Quickly, he returned to his steady calmness. "Later, Ryujin will send the report to me. If it's not him, then that'd be right. If he was, I'd be at a loss instead."

"What do you mean by that?" Seulgi had been Lisa's buddy for 30 years, so he could quickly catch onto what Lisa was trying to imply.

"I seem to have gotten a clue. If it is as I've guessed, then I can only say that this lake is deep, and that Kim Joon is just a chess piece."

Lisa's handsome face flashed with a thoughtful smile. The faint light in his eyes was bright and wise. "That person probably wouldn't have thought that I'd suspect Kim Joon so quickly and check for Kim Joon and Yeji's DNA. Well, at least, he wouldn't suspect it before Lu Xinlan's death."

When he heard this, Seulgi could roughly grasp what he meant. "You're saying that the person intentionally set a huge trap up to bring your attention to Kim Joon, letting you know that this Kim Joon is Mr. Wen. However, they didn't think that you'd investigate Yeji and Kim Joon's relationship at the same time. This person must know a lot about your past with the Kim family. In fact, they must have some kind of grudge with Kim Joon and want to use you to..."

"If this hypothesis stands, then the Mr. Wen that Jennie met back then in the tunnel was probably not Kim Joon himself. Instead, it was that person, or someone that person had sent. The incident at the banquet... This person probably didn't expect that there'd be variables, and that variable was..."

"Was Lu Xinlan! He definitely didn't expect that Lu Xinlan would return now. Coincidentally, you found out about Lu Xinlan and Aunt Zixi's relationship. You investigated Aunt Zixi's matters through her, and then implicated Kim Joon, obviously exposing Mr. Wen." Seulgi's brows had furrowed into a knot, and then he chuckled gleefully at someone else's misfortune. "This person was too smart for his own good. He wanted to use Kim Joon, yet unexpectedly it implicated the previous incidents and exposed himself instead."

"Yes, if everything happened too smoothly. It would be suspicious. Initially, we both had different starting points. He just wanted to use the incident from five years ago to kick a fuss," Lisa said thoughtfully.

"But this is just a guess. If we are wrong, then Kim Joon is still the most probable suspect."

"No. Right now, I can basically be sure that the entire thing is being manipulated by one person. You know my intuition has always been quite spot-on," Lisa said calmly.

"Well, if it's as you had guessed, who would that person be? Could it be Sehun? I knew that he was probably not dead. In fact, Miyeon has returned to City B. Sehun has probably long returned to City Z and is in hiding. He's in the dark while we're out in the light. Does he want to fool us?"

Seulgi was extremely puzzled as he found the whole thing unimaginable. He thought about it and said, "That can't be right. Kim Joon wants to let Sehun inherit Kim Group. Sehun had no reason to trap his old man either, did he? Besides, that Kim Joon isn't a fool. He would've noticed if Sehun was using him. There shouldn't be any bad blood between him and Kim Joon. For him, Kim Joon is fighting to the death with his wife. Even his other biological son was neglected, wouldn't this be too outrageous?"

The more he pondered over it, the more Seulgi found it confusing while Lisa's eyes began to turn rather unfathomable.

"Perhaps it is always the seemingly unbelievable things that are the truth. Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore. Just pretend you didn't hear everything I said today. I've always been the one moving the chess pieces, and not being the chess piece. Now, I'd like to try this chess piece in hiding. See if I can win by a surprise move."

Lisa did not continue and returned to his usual calmness as he lowered his head to drink his tea.

"Whoever tries to get into a battle of the wits and bravery with you will only meet misfortune! I'll just wait for a good show then. I heard you've taken down Jisoo, haven't you?"

Seulgi did not continue asking and gaped at him in amusement instead. "Jisoo's an arrogant and stubborn one. If you can get him on our side, then whether it's Kim Joon or Sehun, he'll be a good chess piece for us. Of course, there are no chess pieces on our end, only buddies and friends. He's actually a pretty decent guy and is someone worth befriending."

Lisa looked up at him from his cup and said, "It looks like you regard him quite highly too."

Seulgi raised his brows with a smile. "I did have some dealings with him before. He looks like a player from the outside, but underneath, he's actually quite the character. Only you probably know that he's loyal to Miyeon. All these years, he never seemed to have changed. You actually dared to collaborate with such a dangerous person! Shouldn't I be admiring your bravery and guts? Aren't you worried that taking this risk would instead...?"

"I believe him, but I believe my own judgment even more!" Lisa's tone was firm and resounding, leaving no room for doubt.
