You Choose an Adopted Son, I Choose Madness - Chapter 124:

Chapter 124: Su Chen’s Recording, the Fang Family Backs Down

Su Zhenxing was startled.

For a moment, he really thought something had gone wrong with Su Chen’s health.

He didn’t have time to question Fang Hao and Fang Qin. His face pale, he rushed toward Su Chen, crouched down, and placed his hands firmly on Su Chen’s shoulders, trying to help him up while anxiously asking, “Su Chen, are you alright?! Does it hurt a lot? Can you stand up?”

He exerted force, trying to lift Su Chen, but to his surprise, Su Chen’s body was pressing downward, resisting.

Feeling Su Chen intentionally leaning toward the ground, Su Zhenxing paused and looked into Su Chen’s eyes.

Then, Su Chen winked at him.

In an instant, Su Zhenxing understood.

This brat was faking it!

But this time, Su Zhenxing decided to play along.

After all, he was furious too. Fang Qin had dared to target Su Chen right under his nose, and Fang Hao clearly intended to dismiss it as mere “kids’ play.”

Did they think the Su family would just swallow this loss?

Since Su Chen had taken the first step, Su Zhenxing certainly wouldn’t lag behind.

Besides, even though Su Chen hadn’t been physically harmed, who could say if he had suffered emotional damage?

Look at him—wasn’t he already rolling on the ground, clutching his chest as if his heart was giving out?

No longer forcing Su Chen up, Su Zhenxing’s hands merely rested lightly on his shoulders.

Then, with a face full of worry and a voice laced with fear, he shouted, “Su Chen, get up!”

“Su Chen, don’t scare Daddy like this!”

“Su Chen, hurry and get up!”

Fang Hao’s eyes twitched in irritation.

Ridiculous.

Just moments ago, when he had arrived, Su Chen had been perfectly fine, standing there without a scratch.

How could he suddenly collapse and start convulsing?

This was a shameless act!

Yes, this was a setup!

Fang Hao and his wife, Zhou Xue, exchanged a glance.

With that silent exchange, they reached an agreement.

If Su Zhenxing and Su Chen insisted on playing dirty, the Fang family wouldn’t just sit back.

They could immediately summon renowned provincial doctors to examine Su Chen.

Once his act was exposed, let’s see how the Su father and son would save face in Haishi!

Meanwhile, the onlookers were getting intrigued.

They had originally thought this whole incident would be brushed aside, with everything settled quickly.

But now, Su Chen had given them a delightful surprise.

Clearly unwilling to let Fang Qin and her group get away with bullying him, he had launched a counterattack.

However…

While they admired his courage, his method was questionable.

Faking injuries was too easy to expose.

Just as the Fang family was growing impatient and the onlookers were doubting Su Chen’s approach, something unexpected happened.

Everyone saw Su Chen—still lying on the ground, twitching dramatically—slowly reach toward his foot and pull out a small, black, metallic object, about the size of a lighter.

Then, he handed it to Su Zhenxing.

With a weak and trembling voice, he gasped, “Dad, my heart hurts so much…”

“Dad, if I don’t make it…”

“You must expose Fang Qin and the others for what they did to me! You must avenge me! You must prevent more innocent people from suffering at their hands!”

“Dad, this is a recorder. It captured everything— from the moment Fang Qin and her friends threatened me to when they tried to harm me.”

Su Zhenxing—who had been pretending to be deeply worried—stared at the small recording device in his hand, completely dumbfounded.

Su Chen had planned this all along?!

Even he, who had already witnessed Su Chen’s insanity multiple times, was stunned.

Let alone the Fang family and all the banquet guests.

Especially the Fang family.

Their expressions turned pitch black.

They hadn’t been afraid of Su Chen pretending to be injured.

They had the power to prove he was faking it.

But now… Su Chen had an actual recording.

All the arrogance and smugness that had been on Fang Qin’s face instantly vanished.

Her face turned pale as a sheet.

She knew that many people suspected her of bullying others.

But no one had ever had solid proof.

Even the victims she had tormented never had evidence.

So, no matter how many rumors circulated, they had never been able to harm her.

But now?

If Su Chen’s recording was made public, her reputation and future would be completely ruined.

At that point, she would have no value to the Fang family.

And then… what would happen to her?

Would she be exiled abroad?

Would she be banished to some remote countryside?

She was terrified.

And if she was scared, then Wang Kai and the others were even worse.

They were trembling uncontrollably.

Fang Hao glanced at his daughter’s panicked, ghostly white face.

Immediately, he knew—Su Chen’s recording must be solid enough to destroy her.

As much as he doted on his daughter, he couldn’t afford to let her future be ruined.

Fang Hao sighed deeply.

Su Chen had completely trapped the Fang family this time.

This wasn’t going to end without them making some serious concessions.

Meanwhile, the onlookers’ eyes lit up.

At first, they had thought the Su family’s efforts would be in vain.

But Su Chen had turned the tide!

Not only was he a fantastic actor, but he also knew how to grab hold of people’s weaknesses.

As they watched the situation unfold, their gazes toward Su Chen changed.

Before today, they had assumed the Su family never brought Su Chen to social events because he wasn’t talented enough.

But now, they realized—it wasn’t that he lacked talent. It was that he was too capable.

Smart. Ruthless. Tactical.

If a child could master just one of these skills, their family would already be satisfied.

But Su Chen?

He had all three.

Now, many of them were silently wondering—how exactly had Su Chen been raised?

Because it was definitely not by Su Zhenxing and Liu Yanan.

Neither of them had these abilities.

Fang Hao, seeing that this matter wouldn’t be brushed aside easily, clenched his jaw.

Today, the Fang family’s reputation had been utterly destroyed.

But they still had to resolve this issue.

Su Chen had already threatened to expose the recording.

Fang Hao sighed deeply before finally making his decision.

He personally invited Su Zhenxing and Su Chen to his private lounge.

Of course…

Su Chen had to be carried inside.

After all, he was “too injured” to walk.

Even though everyone knew he was faking, there was nothing they could do.

Since Su Chen insisted he couldn’t get up, they had no choice.

Two servants quickly found a single bed, lifted Su Chen onto it, and carried him into Fang Hao’s lounge.
