"In the first will, Mr. Song only stated that he would leave all his family assets to Mr. Song Yi'an. There was no mention of leaving them to his grandson. In short, regardless of whether Mr. Song Yi'an is his grandson or not, he has the right to inherit Mr. Song's estate."
Hearing this, a fleeting look of malice flashed across Song Yunsheng's face. He looked at Song Yi'an and only then realized that he might have underestimated this opponent.
Even in this situation, when Song Yi'an was clearly at an absolute disadvantage, he was actually calmer than him.
Song Yunsheng squinted his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in them.
No matter how much Song Yi'an struggled, he was just a dying insect.
He still had cards up his sleeve. He wanted to see how long Song Yi'an could hold on.
Fine. If Song Yi'an wanted to fight a lawsuit, then so be it. This was the capital, not City B. On his own turf, he couldn't handle this brat?
With this conviction, Song Yunsheng gained confidence. He decided to deal Song Yi'an a decisive blow and give him no chance.
Song Yunsheng nodded and said, "Fine. Since you insist on this, I'll accompany you to the end. See you in court."
After walking out of the council hall, Song Yunsheng said to his subordinate, "Go and spread the news in the company that Song Yi'an is not Mr. Song's grandson and that I'm the only rightful heir of the Song family."
"But isn't this matter still undetermined?"
"Undetermined?" Song Yunsheng sneered. "By the time they determine it, it'll be too late. Song Yi'an's struggling now is just an attempt to buy time. We can't let his evil plan succeed. Be quick. Make sure everyone in the company, including the cleaning ladies, knows about this in a short time."
"Yes."
The announcement of the will was interrupted due to Song Yunsheng's interference. In the end, it had to go through the judicial process, and the procuratorate would be involved to verify whether the two pieces of information submitted by Song Yunsheng were genuine.
During this process, the lawyer had to remain absolutely neutral. So, to avoid suspicion, shortly after Song Yunsheng left, the lawyer also stood up and left.
In the room, only Song Yi'an, Li Qiyu, and Mr. Song's former chief secretary were left.
Song Yi'an quietly let out a long sigh. At this critical moment, he wasn't not nervous.
Li Qiyu reached out her hand, and Song Yi'an quickly grabbed it. Only by holding her hand did he feel that he could persevere.
Song Yi'an looked at Li Qiyu and said, "Thank you."
If it weren't for Li Qiyu's timely reminder, making him realize that Mr. Song's death, as well as Jiang Yongfeng and Li Xichi deliberately keeping him at the Li family, were all arranged by Song Yunsheng, he would really have been caught off guard at this moment. He wouldn't have known how to deal with Song Yunsheng's unexpected attack at all and might really have had to hand over the family assets.
Li Qiyu reached out her other hand and patted Song Yi'an's hand, saying, "There's no need for thanks between you and me."
What Li Qiyu meant was that Song Yi'an had helped her so much, and what she did now was just a piece of cake and didn't take much effort.
However, Song Yi'an seemed to have misunderstood. There was a bit of relief and a bit of admiration in his eyes as he looked at Li Qiyu.
Li Qiyu didn't plan to explain. At this moment, she just wanted Song Yi'an to feel comfortable. Now was the time for Song Yi'an to confront Song Yunsheng, and she had to be a good supportive partner.
At this time, the chief secretary said, "How did he get the genetic test report?"
Song Yi'an asked, "Was this genetic test report really requested by Mr. Song?"
The chief secretary nodded. "It has Mr. Song's signature. I checked. It's definitely Mr. Song's handwriting."
"Before this, did Mr. Song ever have a genetic test?" Song Yi'an asked. He thought that with Mr. Song's suspicious temperament, he must have done it secretly.
The chief secretary shook his head. "Mr. Song always firmly believed that you were his grandson. He thought there was no need for a genetic test, so I can't figure out why he suddenly thought of doing this."
Mr. Song's trust in him made Song Yi'an feel even more guilty.
Actually, Li Qiyu was still a bit confused about the genetic test. Now she finally could ask her question.
"What is a genetic test?"
The chief secretary looked at Li Qiyu in surprise. He couldn't believe that a modern person didn't know about genetic tests. Afraid that the chief secretary would notice something strange about Li Qiyu, Song Yi'an quickly explained to her in a low voice, "It's like a blood - relation test."
Seeing Song Yi'an lower his voice, Li Qiyu also lowered her voice and asked, "Ah, but a blood - relation test also requires your blood, right? Why do you seem to know nothing about this?"
"The modern blood - relation test doesn't need blood. A hair strand will do."
"Then this shouldn't be called a blood - relation test. It should be called a hair - relation test."
Of course, with Li Qiyu's current knowledge, she couldn't figure out how two hair strands could determine blood relations.
The chief secretary, who had been listening in on the side...
There were only three people in the room. Even though they were "whispering secretly", he could still hear them!
He thought it was strange. How could Miss Li's intelligence seem so inconsistent?
Fortunately, Li Qiyu didn't continue to dwell on the genetic test. She shared her understanding of Song Yunsheng.
"Song Yunsheng definitely won't give up easily. To achieve his goal, he'll stop at nothing. He might even bribe the authorities, so we must be on high alert."
Suddenly, Li Qiyu seemed to think of something. She stood up from her chair, looking extremely anxious.
"One more thing."
The chief secretary and Song Yi'an looked up at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"One of Song Yunsheng's favorite things to do is to create a stir. Even though this news hasn't been confirmed, he must have already announced to the world that he's the only heir. By then, even if he loses the lawsuit, people will only think that you, Song Yi'an, are forcefully seizing the inheritance."
In her previous life, that's how Song Yunsheng came to power. He used public opinion to drive his elder brother crazy. When the emperor was wavering about the crown prince, he simply had people promote himself all over the world. He even had beggars sing nursery rhymes about his great virtues. Gradually, even though he had no real achievements, the impression of him being talented and caring about the world would reach the emperor's ears through various channels.
As a prince supported by all the court officials and loved by the common people, it was almost inevitable for him to become the crown prince.
Song Yunsheng was very skilled at manipulating public sentiment.
But the situation was different in modern times. Li Qiyu in modern times couldn't just sit back and watch Song Yi'an become the next former crown prince.
She had to come up with a way!
