Just moments before, Lin Qingyan's mind was racing. If Lin Jianxiang and Zhou Yuelan weren't his biological parents, then why was he their son? Why wouldn't they tell him the truth? And who were his biological parents? Where were they? Why did they abandon him?

Then, Gu Fei told him that he had found information about his biological parents. Lin Qingyan was stunned again, and his emotions, which had calmed down a little, began to fluctuate again.

He looked at the man before him with a mixture of panic and anticipation, his nose stinging, and his throat tightening so much he couldn't speak.

"You mean... you found my biological parents?" He trembled, gripping the man's arm tightly. It took him a long time to hear his own voice, which was trembling so much that it was almost inaudible.

Gu Fei had anticipated Lin Qingyan's reaction. He gently stroked the boy's back, as if coaxing a child, and said softly, "Don't get excited, take a deep breath."

"Hmm." Gu Fei's words had a good effect on Lin Qingyan. He did as he was told, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down. However, what Gu Fei said next was far beyond his expectations, making it impossible for him to remain calm.

Seeing that he was gradually calming down, Gu Fei reminded him, "Yan Yan, you need to be mentally prepared."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyan became even more flustered, wondering if his biological parents were no longer alive. Otherwise, why would he need to prepare himself mentally?

"Brother Fei, please tell me, I can accept it."

“I have another appraisal report here, it’s for you and An Yu.” Gu Fei said, handing the other document to Lin Qingyan. His eyes were filled with tension and concern as he stared intently at the person in front of him.

"An Yu?" Lin Qingyan didn't immediately recognize An Yu. When he saw the paternity test report stating that he and An Yu were brothers, his mind went blank. He just stared at it, unable to process what he'd seen.

Gu Fei grasped his hand and realized that his palm was already icy cold. He tightened his grip and his voice became even gentler, "Yan Yan, An Yu is An Nanyi's older brother. You and he are brothers from the same parents."

The man's words were like a powerful bomb, exploding in Lin Qingyan's heart, causing a huge sensation and stirring up a storm.

Are he and An Yu brothers? Then An Yu's parents are his biological parents.

"This... how is this possible?" He looked at Gu Fei, then suddenly forced a smile. "Brother Fei, don't joke with me. It's not April Fool's Day."

This news was even more shocking than learning that Lin Jianxiang and Zhou Yuelan were not his biological parents. Lin Qingyan couldn't believe it in his wildest dreams; it was too absurd.

"Yan Yan, this is no joke."

Gu Fei cupped the boy's face in his hands, looking into the boy's eyes filled with vulnerability and panic, and said earnestly, "An Jing and An Yu are your older brothers. You are the youngest son of the An family who was left behind."

"Doesn't Yan Yan trust Brother Fei?"

Lin Qingyan's pupils dilated as he stared incredulously at the man's serious expression. He paused for a moment before stammering, "I believe you."

Gu Fei wouldn't lie to him. Gu Fei was so capable; what he found out wouldn't be false. He stared at the forensic report in his hand repeatedly, his fingers turning white from the pressure. "Why..."

Even when the facts were right in front of him, he couldn't believe it.

Suddenly remembering something, he grabbed Gu Fei's arm and asked urgently in a trembling voice, "What about An Nanyi? Is he also my brother?"

"No," Gu Fei replied firmly.

Gu Fei held Lin Qingyan's trembling, cold hand and continued, "Annan Yi is Lin Jianxiang and Zhou Yuelan's biological son. You two were switched at birth."

"Yan Yan, I know it's hard for you to believe, but it's true."

The shocks came one after another, each more intense than the last, so absurd it was like a melodramatic soap opera. Lin Qingyan gripped the man's hand tightly, murmuring, "How could this be... Why did this happen, why..."

Looking at the child's current state, Gu Fei didn't know what to do. He could only hug the child and kiss the boy's forehead, and whisper, "You and An Nanyi were born on the same day. Back then, Zhou Yuelan bribed the hospital nurses to switch you and An Nanyi at birth."

Lin Qingyan couldn't understand. He looked up at Gu Fei, large tears silently streaming down his face. "Why, why did she do this..."

A flicker of pity crossed Gu Fei's eyes. He gently wiped away the boy's tears with his fingertips, his tone cold, "Because she's selfish and despicable." As he spoke, Gu Fei took out his phone, found the video Lu Xiu had sent him, and handed it to Lin Qingyan.

"Yan Yan, you'll understand after watching this video."

Lin Qingyan took the phone and clicked play. The person in the video was Qin Qiushui, the nurse who had been bribed by Zhou Yuelan. In the video, she recounted what happened back then and shed tears of repentance.

"...I really have no other choice. I'm sorry, I'm the one who let the An family down. If I could see him again, I would like to say sorry to him in person. I'm so sorry..."

Lin Qingyan stared intently at the screen, his eyes wide open, his eyes red and swollen, and crystal tears streaming down his cheeks. Although he didn't make a sound, you could feel that he was extremely sad.

He gripped his phone tightly, his hands trembling uncontrollably, and clicked play again, watching the short video once more. After watching it, he tried to click play again.

"Stop looking, Yan Yan." Gu Fei finally couldn't bear to watch anymore. He reached out and took the phone from the boy's hand, casually put it aside, and pulled the boy, who was quietly crying, into his arms. He gently stroked the boy's back and said in a low voice, "Yan Yan, cry it out."

Lin Qingyan's throat tightened, and she couldn't make a sound. But upon hearing the man's voice, she broke down in tears, unable to suppress her emotions any longer.

The enclosed carriage was filled with the boy's heart-wrenching sobs. Gu Fei's face showed unbearable pity and heartache. He felt the fabric of his shirt being soaked with tears, and he could feel the person in his arms trembling incessantly, like a helpless little animal.

Gu Fei tightened his grip on Lin Qingyan's back, stroking it again and again. After all, no one could calmly accept such a situation in such a short time.

Even Gu Fei wasn't sure if he could calmly face this situation.

Lin Qingyan couldn't understand why there would be such a selfish person. What he hated most was not the nurse who took money to switch him, but Zhou Yuelan, the one he had called "Mom" for many years. Now, thinking about it, how ironic it all seemed.

In order to give her son a wealthy and happy life, she did not hesitate to send her own son to another family, and his life was completely changed because of this woman's selfishness.

Now Lin Qingyan finally understands why Zhou Yuelan is so biased, treating her youngest son Lin Qingyang with utmost kindness, while ignoring her eldest son and even putting on an act.

But the life that originally belonged to him was replaced by this woman's son. Lin Qingyan couldn't understand why Zhou Yuelan could be so at ease and without any guilt.

The life that originally belonged to him... Lin Qingyan couldn't even imagine it. He had been well-fed and clothed since childhood, had loving parents, and two older brothers. He used to envy An Nanyi, but he never expected that all of this should have belonged to him.

Lin Qingyan cried very hard and couldn't stop. Her face turned red, she sobbed, her chest heaved violently, and she was breathing very rapidly, almost to the point of being unable to breathe.

Seeing him like this, Gu Fei panicked and cupped his face, wiping away the tears that soaked his cheeks. She said anxiously but gently, "Yan Yan, don't get agitated, calm down, breathe..."

"It's okay, Fei-ge is here, Fei-ge will help you."

"Yan Yan, be good."

Gu Fei's comforting words worked. Lin Qingyan, who had lost his mind while crying, finally regained some composure. He slowly stopped crying, and his breathing returned to normal. However, he was a little oxygen-deprived from crying, and his head was spinning. He collapsed weakly into the man's arms.

Feeling the person in his arms breathing evenly, Gu Fei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He looked down at Lin Qingyan, the child lying on his shoulder, clutching his clothes tightly in an extremely dependent posture.

His shoulders were still trembling, his intense grief turning into suppressed sobs. Gu Fei kissed the corners of his reddened eyes and whispered to soothe him, "It's okay, with Brother Fei here, I'll take care of everything."

"Brother Fei will not let those who hurt you get away with it."

"The Gu family and the An family are old friends. Yan Yan's biological parents are very nice people. They will definitely like you very much... Oh, by the way, Yan Yan looks like her mother. You look just as good as your mother."

"Once Yan Yan returns to her real home, she will definitely be very happy and content..."

This man, who was usually taciturn, was now speaking to the boy in a deep, gentle voice. It wasn't that he was inarticulate; it was just his personality.

In Gu Fei's voice and embrace, Lin Qingyan gradually calmed down and slowly stopped sobbing. His eyes were swollen from crying, his face was covered in tears, and his voice had become extremely hoarse, "Brother Fei, I don't know what to do..."

"It's okay, I'll help you." Gu Fei rubbed his head, then took a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and held it to Lin Qingyan's lips. "Drink some water first, your throat is hoarse from crying."

"Mmm." Lin Qingyan obediently opened his mouth and drank the water from Gu Fei's hand. Gu Fei fed him a few mouthfuls before stopping. Gu Fei raised his hand to wipe the water from the corner of his mouth. "If you're willing, Brother Fei can take you to see your biological parents right now."

Lin Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then remained silent.

Gu Fei added, "Or you could go find An Jing; Yan Yan is more familiar with him, right?"
