The manager and his employees of the Chen family's trading company arrived together. They were dressed in suits and leather shoes, looking remarkably like civilized people.

The manager's surname was Chen, and he was around forty years old. After listening to the story told by Mr. Wei, the owner of the steamed bun shop, he only paused for a moment before bending down and smiling at Xu Keke.

"This is fantastic news! If the boss knew, he would be overjoyed! We really owe it all to Boss Wei. You see, we were late today, and we've troubled you to look after us for so long."

Manager Chen thanked Boss Wei for his hard work. His face crinkled instantly with laughter, especially around his eyes. The wrinkles around his heavy eyelids obscured his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression. But his face told everyone how happy he was.

Especially the mole on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to dance along with his expressive face.

Xu Keke didn't see this person in the original owner's memories. In other words, this person was gone a few years later.

Standing behind him, the young man who was suspiciously looking Xu Keke up and down was someone who had appeared in the original owner's memories.

His surname was Li, and his given name was Li Shi. He was a distant relative of the original owner's mother, Li Wan. He was very young, with light downy hair above his mouth. His upper jaw protruded slightly, making his chin appear somewhat short.

He was the one who brought the original owner back and personally escorted her back to the south.

"How can you prove that you are Chen Minghui? Don't think that just because we're looking for this person, you can impersonate her. Who sent you here?"

As expected, young people speak impulsively. Seeing Xu Keke looking at him, he spoke to her without any politeness. His eyelids twitched, revealing a fierce glint in his eyes that, while not particularly threatening, held a hidden malice.

Xu Keke was somewhat indifferent to his attitude, but Manager Chen was rather embarrassed. He hurriedly said,

"Look at what you're saying! Our business has been right next to Boss Wei since it opened. Even after our boss went back to the south, he still talks about Boss Wei all the time. They watched the young lady being born, how could they mistake her for someone else? Don't you agree?"

Manager Chen smiled ingratiatingly at Boss Wei, and said, "Be careful not to hurt Miss's feelings by saying that. Our Miss is so beautiful, she looks just like the boss and his wife, how could she not be?"

Having said that, Li Shi couldn't refute it, and only muttered, "After so many years, how could anyone tell?"

He spoke softly, knowing it was someone else's business and he shouldn't interfere. Boss Wei assumed he was just a straightforward young man and, upon hearing this, simply smiled and remained silent.

Manager Chen quickly smoothed things over, smiling at Xu Keke, "Miss, let's go. We've been bothering Boss Wei for quite a while now; he has business to do too. Miss, please come with us to the shop."

Manager Chen tried to take Xu Keke's hand, but she dodged him.

Manager Chen's mole on the corner of his mouth moved again, and he smiled tolerantly at him as if he were talking to a younger person.

Xu Keke ignored him, but said to Boss Wei, "We'll come back to see you later!"

Thinking she was asking him to eat steamed buns, Boss Wei happily smiled and nodded in agreement.

Xu Keke led Yun Sheng to the trading company, following Manager Chen.

The so-called trading company had no counters inside; it just had regular office desks and chairs.

Manager Chen ushered Xu Keke into his office and arranged for her and Yun Sheng to sit on the sofa. The sofa was very soft, and Yun Sheng sat down and even pressed it with his little hand. Then he obediently sat next to Xu Keke.

Li Shi followed them in. It was clear that he wasn't afraid of Manager Chen.

He sat down in the chair in front of his desk, turned around, crossed his legs, and said to Xu Keke, "I haven't finished asking you what I was asking. Don't think you can just brush this off. Tell me, how did you know we were looking for someone... wait,..."

He looked Xu Keke up and down. "You must have someone backing you. Tell me, who sent you?"

As he said this, he deliberately glanced at Manager Chen and gave a light snort.

Clearly, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he believed that he and Manager Chen were in cahoots.

This person is quite different from the one in the original owner's memories. In the original owner's memories, he was a gourd with its mouth sawed off. He was always taciturn and not good at talking. On the way back to the original owner, he hardly said a word.

This is a stark contrast to his arrogant demeanor; he's practically a different person.

Manager Chen took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. This time he didn't interrupt, seemingly wanting to hear what Xu Keke had to say. Or perhaps he was avoiding suspicion, afraid of being misunderstood as having hired her.

"You can ask the wet nurse; she's the one who brought me to the Liu family."

"Nanny! If we could have found her, we would have looked for her long ago. Besides, where would we even be looking?"

Li Shi, swaying his gait, looked at Xu Keke with disdain, as if to say, "Don't try to fool me." "Finding a woman to pretend to be a wet nurse shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Xu Keke looked at him with suspicion, then at Manager Chen, who was shrouded in smoke. "Nanny, as far as I know, she has never moved. It shouldn't be difficult to find her, right?"

In this era, the poor can't even get enough to eat, so why would they leave their own homes to go elsewhere? Any place where they can survive is a good place in their eyes.

“You can bring the person here. If you don’t recognize them, Mr. and Mrs. Wei, the owners of the steamed bun shop, can identify them.”

The regularly released smoke suddenly stopped behind Li Shi. As the smoke cleared, Manager Chen was revealed, seemingly lost in thought.

"Alright, you stay here with the young lady. I'll go next door and ask around to see if they know where the nanny lives."

Manager Chen stood up, but Xu Keke jumped off the sofa and blocked his way in a few steps.

"No need, I know where the nanny lives," Xu Keke said to Li Shi, pointing to the phone on the table.

“Call the police now, right in front of Manager Chen. Have the police bring the person here. The three of us will wait here. Nobody leave. When they arrive, let Boss Wei identify them.”
