Looking at her uncle's increasingly pale face, Xie Yinuo quickly shook her head. "No, no, that's impossible. I think Wen Jing looks a lot like your wife too! And don't you live in Wanfeng District? Although both Wanfeng and Jing'an are in Yunbei City, they're at opposite ends, wouldn't that be too far apart!"
"Yinuo... actually, Wen Jing was born at the People's Hospital in Jing'an County. At that time, your aunt and I were starting our business in Jing'an, so we weren't living with the family in Wanfeng. It was quite a coincidence. Our company had a big project that required me to travel out of the province. I was a bit hesitant, as the estimated due date was only about two weeks away." Mao Genghong looked a bit guilty.
"It was your aunt who persuaded me to go. She said the doctor mentioned the baby was stable during the last check-up and urged me to go and come back quickly. To our surprise, I had only been gone for two days when she unexpectedly went into labor in the middle of the night. Xiao Qiao was very strong and calmly took a taxi to the hospital, calling me on the way to tell me about the situation. By the time I arrived at the hospital, it was already the early morning of the third day. Your aunt had already given birth to Wen Jing alone in the hospital." Mao Genghong looked at his nephew and then at Xiao Wenqiang, unsure of what expression to put on.
Officer Wang was also a little surprised. How could such a coincidence happen in the world! Seeing both sides stunned, he suggested, "How about this, we will contact the police in Jing'an County to help us investigate the child-swapping incident. If you have any doubts now, it's simple: get a paternity test. We can help you arrange for blood collection, would you like that?"
Xiao Wenqiang and Mao Genghong looked at each other and finally agreed. Officer Wang quickly contacted the staff to collect blood, and then came the long wait.
During the wait, Officer Wang also explained the specific details of the case to Xiao Wenqiang and the others.
The gang's base was in Dongling Village, with a total of eight main members. In the case of selling Zhu Qingyan, Aunt Zhang was responsible for "finding the goods," A Mao for "escorting," and Gou San for finding a "buyer."
Gou San learned that the mute old man wanted to buy a young wife and carefully inquired about his requirements for a young, beautiful, and easy-to-manage woman. Aunt Zhang went to various places to scout and then set her sights on the pretty Zhu Qingyan. She originally planned to trick her into leaving, but the original owner was focused on her studies and rarely interacted with strangers. Aunt Zhang then set her sights on the original owner's grandmother, Zhang Ju, and offered 30,000 yuan.
Given that Zhang Ju had secretly swapped the child at birth out of fear of spending money on the girl's treatment, it was evident she was a woman who strongly favored males and was indifferent to human emotions. Seeing an opportunity to both avoid raising another person's child and make money, she naturally agreed with both hands. Thus, as she had told her daughter-in-law Liu Feiyun before, she revealed to her son Zhu Wen that the original owner was not his biological child.
Zhu Wen was just a technician at a small hardware factory, and his wife Liu Feiyun, who had worked as a cleaner in an office building, had resigned due to severe morning sickness during her pregnancy. Therefore, he was very tempted by such a large sum of money. Moreover, since this daughter was not his own flesh and blood, what did it matter how she lived? He even thought that his family had raised her for over ten years, and now it was time for her to repay them. Thus, mother and son colluded and hatched a plan to ostensibly find a husband for her, but in reality, to sell a minor girl.
Everyone listened to the entire story of the case and was speechless for a long time, casting concerned and sympathetic glances at the innocent girl who was the subject of the case.
However, at this moment, Xiao Wenqiang was eating snacks given to her by the beautiful police officer Hu, while secretly looking at Mao Genghong with innocent eyes.
"The Perfect Life of a Fake Daughter" was just a novel, and there was no memory of the appearance of people the original owner had never met before. It was only when these events unfolded step by step, coupled with learning Mao Genghong's full name, that she remembered that the original female protagonist's father seemed to be named that.
However, the original book was a grand female protagonist story, and the descriptions of Mao Genghong were not extensive, so it was no wonder she hadn't made the connection before. Even though the DNA results were not yet out, she was already certain that Mao Genghong was the biological father of the original owner, Zhu Qingyan.
Seeing everyone's gazes turn towards her, Xiao Wenqiang, who had been observing Mao Genghong, quickly averted her gaze and buried her head, pretending to be focused on eating.
Mao Genghong was melted by her cute little actions and was about to say something when Xie Yinuo couldn't help but speak up.
"Qingyan, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the more I look at you now, the more you resemble Uncle! It's possible you're really related to me, hahahaha..." His laughter gradually faded as Xie Yinuo clearly felt that others didn't seem to be in the mood to laugh.
Xiao Wenqiang found the boy Xie Yinuo quite amusing. When he wasn't smiling, just looking at his appearance, one would think he was a cool and handsome guy. But when he smiled, he was a cute, somewhat chuunibyou character, with an unexpectedly contrasting charm.
However, she was currently playing the role of a wronged and pitiful girl, and to maintain her persona, she couldn't break character. She could only turn her big, deer-like eyes towards Mao Genghong with a tearful expression. "Uncle, I hope the results show that I'm not your child, and it's just a coincidence that we were born on the same day at the same hospital."
Mao Genghong looked confused. "You don't want to be my child?"
"No!" Xiao Wenqiang shook her head. "I just don't want to disrupt your current family. If I really am your child, it would bring bad changes to your peaceful home."
Mao Genghong's heart softened completely. He quickly said, "Yan Yan... May I call you that? Please don't think that way. Regardless of whether you are my child or not, I will never abandon you. In fact, on the car ride earlier, I had already made up my mind. Even if we are not related, I will support you through high school and college." He had already decided in his heart that this child was still a minor, and since he had encountered her, he would take good care of her.
After waiting anxiously for several hours, the paternity testing center finally produced the results. As Xiao Wenqiang expected, the similarity rate between the original owner Zhu Qingyan and Mao Genghong's samples reached 99.99%.
At that moment, Xiao Wenqiang and Mao Genghong involuntarily looked at each other, tears streaming down their faces, and they rushed into each other's arms...
Xiao Wenqiang's tears were shed because she thought of the original owner's life. On the night she suffered immensely, her biological father had been so close to her. Unfortunately, she never knew her true identity before her death. At this moment, she and the original owner completely empathized.
Perhaps the anxiety and despair she had felt before were emotions of the original owner that she had acted out. The tears at this moment were her true, heartfelt tears since coming to the original owner's world.
Mao Genghong's tears carried many complex emotions. He felt heartbroken for his biological daughter's suffering over the years, fortunate to have found his child, enraged at the damned Zhang Ju and the traffickers, and deeply troubled by how to explain this to his wife and daughter.
Xie Yinuo, standing nearby, was also very excited, even feeling a little happy about gaining such a cute sister.
The other police officers were also relieved, happy that the young girl had found her biological father under such circumstances. It was a blessing in disguise.
Suddenly, Xiao Wenqiang felt a sharp pain in her head, as if pricked by countless needles, and then her vision went black as she lost consciousness.
