The Supporting Male Characters Who Died Alone All Those Years Later

Father He and He Bei were bewildered. Was someone mocking us from afar? How arrogant!

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Then, they all turned towards the sound and saw a young man who looked very similar to He Dongchen. He was dressed in a white suit, with his hands in his pockets, his expression cold. Behind him was a young woman in professional attire. Opposite them, a flamboyantly dressed man was still laughing heartily. “He Dongchen, can’t you have some ambition! Still pretending not to know me? I haven’t used that trick since kindergarten! Hahahaha, you’re killing me!”

The scene turned bizarre. People glanced at He Dongchen in a black suit standing next to Father He, then looked at the He Dongchen in a white suit in the distance.

What was going on?

Two people!

A doppelganger?

As the scene froze in confusion.

“Dongchen!!!”

Father He cried out in excitement!

The already puzzled crowd watched as Father He ran over, grabbed the young man in the white suit, and called him Dongchen repeatedly, looking emotional, as if he had seen his long-lost son after 10 years.

“???” Everyone felt utterly confused.

What was happening? The son was right beside him, yet Father He ran over to someone else and called him Dongchen?

What was going on!?

Did anyone know anything about this?

Everyone knew that the He family had lost a son, the younger brother of a pair of twins, and the one who stayed with them was the eldest son, He Dongchen.

So why did he run over and call the other person Dongchen?

Even if he found the lost younger son, he shouldn’t call him Dongchen!

Someone went to look at He Dongchen, who was wearing a black suit, and saw his pale face. So, is there some big secret here? Hurry up and tell us!!!

“Dongchen! Where have you been these past few years?” Father He was too excited. Seeing his eldest son, he didn’t care about exposing anything, grabbing his son and incessantly asking about his whereabouts over the past 3 years.

Feng Ruying saw that the big boss’s clothes were about to be torn out of shape, so she quickly stepped forward to separate them and explained, “You have the wrong person. This is Mr. Gu Wenyu, the chairman of Ruifeng Group, not He Dongchen. Your son is standing over there.”

Father He couldn’t hear a single word. What “not him”! It is him! How could I not know the situation! The one standing over there is my younger son, He Bei! The one in front of me is indeed my eldest son, He Dongchen!

“Dongchen, what’s going on? Why don’t you say something?” Father He was excited for a long time, then noticed his son’s cold expression and the completely unfamiliar, even somewhat repulsed, look in his eyes. He was stunned. What was going on?

At this moment, he finally had the presence of mind to think about other things and then heard the discussions around him.

“Gu Wenyu of Ruifeng Group, hiss… So it’s him.”

“How does he look exactly like He Dongchen?”

“President He still calls him He Dongchen, what’s going on?”

Everyone was talking, pricking up their ears, waiting for the mystery to be revealed.

***

At this moment, a voice rang out.

“Yes! He is He Dongchen!” He Bei pointed at He Dongchen and spoke loudly. After saying that, he felt relieved all over, and the stone that had been weighing on his heart was completely shattered. From now on, he could do as he pleased!

Feeling liberated, He Bei grinned widely, glanced at the bewildered crowd, and raised his voice, “3 years ago, He Dongchen disappeared. I was found and, for the sake of Ruifeng’s cooperation, I pretended to be He Dongchen. I’m He Bei, and he’s the real He Dongchen.”

“What? This is too absurd!”

“No wonder He Dongchen changed so much in these 3 years… So he really was replaced.”

“So now we know why He Dongchen ended up as the chairman of Ruifeng. No need to pretend anymore, right?”

“What about the Ho family? They just canceled the engagement, and now he’s back and became the chairman of Ruifeng. Hah, what a loss, what a loss. By the way, did anyone from the Ho family show up today?” The speaker seemed gleeful, without a hint of regret.

The scene was chaotic for a while, and even the organizers hadn’t expected that. What was supposed to be a charity auction had turned into a major spectacle.

The auction manager clicked his tongue, still stunned by the size of this drama.

“Elder brother, the future of the He family depends on you!” He Bei unloaded his burden and walked over with a playful smile, wanting to give a brotherly handshake to this elder brother he didn’t quite see eye to eye with.

Everyone looked at He Dongchen, believing in his identity.

Even Feng Ruying, for a moment, believed He Bei’s words. The big boss was indeed He Dongchen who had disappeared 3 years ago. After all, a serious comparison would reveal that the big boss’s resume, though complete, had only appeared publicly 3 years ago!

Just when everyone thought the truth was revealed, He Dongchen slowly spoke up, looking puzzled, “What are you all talking about? I don’t seem to understand. Assistant Feng, please introduce to them who I am, carefully.”

Feng Ruying snapped out of her daze immediately and recited the detailed resume she had memorized.

“My boss, Mr. Gu Wenyu, from country M, raised by his grandfather, with unknown parents. Every year, many people come to claim kinship with him.” Feng Ruying glanced meaningfully at Father He here, then continued, “Now he is the chairman of Ruifeng Group, with countless assets under his name, including venture companies like Xingyu Technology and Baohua Biological Laboratory…”

As everyone listened, their hearts were about to jump out. These were all famous companies in their industries! Even if they tried to calculate casually, no, no, they couldn’t even begin to comprehend.

Is such a person really just the eldest son of the He family?

The combined wealth of the He family couldn’t even match up to someone else’s fingertip!

At this moment, people began to suspect whether the He family was rushing to claim kinship and seek benefits.

Otherwise, according to their claims, He Dongchen disappeared 3 years ago and then miraculously transformed into a super-rich tycoon 3 years later?

That was too unbelievable.

Father He and He Bei were at a loss for words.

Seeing the naked suspicion in everyone’s eyes, they blushed deeply and tried to defend vigorously, “This is really my eldest son! Dongchen, tell them!”

“Yeah, Big Brother, say something quickly,” He Bei urged anxiously.

Amidst all the attention, He Dongchen slightly smirked and spoke slowly, “I’m sorry, but I’m really not this He Dongchen.”

The system looked at the stunned appearance of the He family father and son, laughing with a roar!!! It was cracking up!

In their past life, they didn’t acknowledge the original owner’s identity, warned the original owner not to reveal their identity, and finally, just in case, sent the original owner abroad.

In this life, they begged to be recognized and were refused. How cool was that!

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Father He shouted, pointing to a mole hanging below his right ear. “You even have the same mole. You’re still my son! Can’t a father recognize his own son?”

“That’s right!” He Bei chimed in, pointing to the mole below his own right ear. “Back then, I even got a mole tattooed to impersonate you.”

He added jokingly, “There’s one on my butt too.”

The system burst into laughter. Oh my god, this was too much! How could the boss’s dignity survive this!

Feng Ruying unconsciously glanced at the big boss’s butt.

He Dongchen’s face darkened.

This He Bei! He really had no filter.

The satisfaction of slapping them in the face diminished instantly. He Dongchen didn’t want to play along with them any longer and casually said, “Maybe you guys are deliberately imitating me? Anyway, if you want to claim kinship, you can inform my assistant for registration, and my team will conduct thorough checks.”

With that, he took a long stride, passed through the crowd, and left the hall, with Feng Ruying following closely behind.

The people were stunned by He Dongchen’s revealed wealth and didn’t stop them.

Father He’s mind was full of thoughts about kinship, registration, and thorough checks!

This is clearly my son! Even the mole was exactly the same! How could I possibly mistake him for someone else!

An old rival of the He family came over with a smirk, “President He, why don’t you hurry and register? I heard there are already many biological parents ahead of you.”

Father He gave him a deep look, left with a serious expression, and bewildered He Bei followed.

As the parties involved left, the crowd gradually dispersed, discussing animatedly. Some felt that Father He’s demeanor indicated he wasn’t lying, while others couldn’t believe that Gu Wenyu’s wealth could belong to someone who had been missing for 3 years.

As the first troublemaker, a flamboyantly dressed young man scratched his head, “So, is he really He Dongchen?”

***

At the same time, the Ho family was informed that someone identical to He Dongchen had appeared at the auction tonight, now the new owner of Ruifeng.

The informant rambled on, “Did you guys not see that scene? President He saw his son and immediately rushed over, calling him Dongchen. We were all puzzled because He Dongchen was standing right there. Then they said, 3 years ago He Dongchen went missing, the younger son was found, and the younger son He Bei took over He Dongchen’s identity! Oh, and…”

“Do you guys know about this? Are we the only ones kept in the dark?”

If that were the case, the He family would be despicable! They replaced a son and still pursued marriage arrangements, making a mockery of other families’ daughter.

The three members of the Ho family were now filled with thoughts of He Dongchen’s return! And he had become the chairman of Ruifeng!

“Hey hey hey? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

The loud voice on the phone sounded puzzled.

Father Ho snapped out of it, under the anxious and expectant gazes of his wife and daughter, restrained his excitement and confirmed, “Is there really someone identical?”

“Of course! Hundreds of us saw it live on the scene. How could we be mistaken? Identical, even the mole below the ear is identical.”

The three members of the Ho family felt relieved upon hearing about the mole below the ear.

Yes, it was indeed He Dongchen. Back then, to get He Bei to tattoo that mole, Ho Xuan even risked her life and got a spot on her clavicle.

The three started to get excited. He Dongchen was back! And it seemed like he was doing well!

Just as Ho Xuan was smiling, she suddenly froze and exclaimed anxiously, “But we canceled the engagement! What should we do?”

Mother Ho frowned and then said nonchalantly, “It’s okay. Explain everything that happened over these years. Dongchen has always been sensible and understanding. He will understand us.”

Ho Xuan nodded, but she felt unsettled for some reason. Her heart was in turmoil, and she couldn’t help but have all sorts of wild thoughts. During these 3 years away, why didn’t Dongchen come back? Could he have found someone else? Had he already forgotten about me, his fiancée?

“Hey hey hey? Are you guys listening to me?”

The loud voice on the phone brought the attention of the three back.

Father Ho refocused from his thoughts about the company’s development and apologized, “Please continue. We’re listening.”

The three of them continued to listen attentively, but they weren’t fully engaged anymore. They already knew the most important news; behind it all was just the father and son reunion, tears and embraces.

But then!

On the other end of the phone, laughter interrupted intermittently, “Hahaha, we all fell for President He’s nonsense! We thought we were about to witness an emotional father-son reunion drama. Tissues were ready and everything! But guess what! The other party denied it!

“Hahaha, President He’s expression at that moment, oh man, I can’t even describe it. Finally, the person’s assistant stepped forward and revealed Gu Wenyu’s net worth. Ruifeng Group, Xingyu Technology, Baohua Biological Laboratory, and other top companies in various industries. We all felt our hearts racing!”

“Such a figure, how could he be just the eldest son of the He family? Who would believe that?”

Mocking voices echoed through the living room via the phone.

The mood of the three members of the Ho family fluctuated, experiencing ups and downs. Hearing this, Mother Ho couldn’t help but clutch her chest and gasp for breath. What was all this about?

How could he deny it?!

Was that person really our daughter’s fiancé?

How could this be happening!!
