In fact, Xiao An's adoptive parents had their own children. They had a daughter who was one year younger than Xiao An. After the adoptive parents passed away, their house was sold by the adoptive father's younger brother, and Xiao An and her sister moved to their adoptive uncle's house.
The younger sister's situation was slightly better than Xiao An's; she could still go to school. Although her aunt would beat and scold her in private, her uncle would still make sure she was fed because she was her older brother.
Xiao An originally planned to wait a few years until he came of age and then bring his younger sister over. He felt that she was always being bullied by his uncle's son and daughter while living alone in his uncle's house, and that her life wouldn't be easy.
Once the identification results are in and it's confirmed that his identity is related to the Bai family, then let the Bai family take his sister to the capital first. As for him, he'll have to think about it some more.
He hoped Xiaozhu would come back to Beijing with him, but he knew she wouldn't agree. She was very principled, had her own plans, and wouldn't easily change her mind for anyone.
"What are you thinking about, so engrossed?" Lin Xiazhu nudged Xiao An with her elbow.
Xiao An chuckled lightly, "It's nothing, I just thought I saw some familiar faces when I came out." This wasn't just a joke; he thought he saw Tie Zhu and his cousin at the restaurant earlier.
Then, when they finished their walk and returned to the hotel, they ran into Tie Zhu and his group again. They had just arrived, and the group got out of the car and were a little surprised to see Lin Xiazhu and the others.
"Xiao An, what brings you to the city? My cousin promised to help with Lin Chacha's matter, and he'll definitely resolve it, so you don't need to worry." Tie Zhu walked over quickly and spoke to Xiao An, whom he was more familiar with.
Actually, Xiao An wasn't that familiar with him. It was just that Tie Zhu had been trying to get close to him a few days ago. To be honest, Xiao An was quite puzzled by Tie Zhu's actions.
However, since they had come up to speak, she couldn't just pretend she hadn't heard them. Xiao An smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Bai invited us to go for a stroll in the city."
Mr. Bai? Tie Zhu was taken aback.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ziming walked over. "You mean Bai Junbo invited you to come to the city for fun?"
Seeing Xiao An nod, he chuckled, "Bai Junbai is no saint. Why would he spend money on someone for no reason?" He must have some ulterior motive.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziming took a deep look at Xiao An. It was this one look that made him frown more and more. This kid looked very familiar. Had they met before?
No, they only met once last night at a hotel in the county town, but Chen Ziming didn't pay much attention to him, and didn't even look at him properly.
After a few seconds of contemplation, Chen Ziming suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He remembered that the Bai family had a son who had gone to the countryside in his early years and was unable to go abroad with the Bai family. He lost contact with him after that and they still haven't found him.
That makes sense. Upon closer inspection, the kid's eyes and eyebrows look remarkably similar to that bastard Bai Junbai. No one would doubt that they are brothers.
Chen Ziming was a shrewd man, and he quickly guessed that Xiao An might be Bai Junsong's son. Bai Junsong was the eldest son of the Bai family, a prodigy with extraordinary talent, but unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time.
Thus, Chen Ziming suddenly became interested in the Lin family's affairs. After giving a few perfunctory replies, he took Tiezhu back to his room.
The two rooms faced each other. Chen Ziming called out to Tie Zhu, "Come in with me, I have some questions for you."
Why ask? Naturally, it's about Xiao An's background and his parents.
"...I'm not really sure either. I've only heard Zhang Yu and the others mention it. It seems that Xiao An was in a car accident back then and was rescued by Lin Xiazhu. Because Xiao An had amnesia, his parents never came looking for him, so he stayed at the Lin family's house."
Tiezhu didn't know them before, and didn't know much about them.
Knowing he couldn't get any more information, Chen Ziming told Tie Zhu to go back and rest, while he walked to the window and fell into deep thought. Two minutes later, he clicked his tongue.
"Bai Junbai really got lucky. He shamelessly followed me to Changhe County, and we ended up being relatives by accident. He got off easy." No way, Bai Junbai had tripped him up so many times before, now he had to cause some trouble too.
We can't let him accept this family too easily.
The thought of making Bai Junbai suffer excited him, so he immediately called his assistant over and told him to make this and that arrangement, in short, to sabotage as much as possible.
The assistant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Dealing with Young Master Bai wouldn't be so easy. He had already endured too much. He was afraid that he might not only fail to accomplish his task but also anger Young Master Bai, and in the end, it would be him, the little assistant, who would suffer.
In another hotel room, a bodyguard was reporting, "Young Master Bai, the Chen family sent their assistant to cause trouble, trying to prevent us from conducting the appraisal."
"Hold him back, don't let him return to Beijing too soon. If he wants to fight me, he'll have to see if he has the ability." Bai Junbai leaned back lazily in his chair. Although S City's economy was a bit backward, it was still much better than the county town. At least the bed and chair were softer and more comfortable.
But it's only a little more comfortable.
The next morning, the assistant, exhausted from not sleeping all night, reported the progress to Chen Ziming: "Yesterday, the Lin family went to the city hospital for a medical check-up. After obtaining the DNA materials yesterday, they were sent directly abroad." It was too late to cause trouble.
This is quite in line with Bai Junbai's style of doing things: swift, decisive, and domineering.
"You can't tamper with the DNA extraction, so can't you think of other ways?" Chen Ziming said angrily. "For example, you could spend some money to find a local thug to help you make Xiao An disappear for a few days or something."
Wouldn't that be too despicable?
However, this is very much in line with Young Master Ziming's style of doing things, so there's nothing surprising about it.
The assistant could only tell the truth, "We tried, but it didn't work. Those kids are not simple."
The local thugs not only failed to kidnap Xiao An, but they also got a beating and almost turned him over to the police station. If it weren't for the local thugs' superior numbers, who managed to snatch him back, they would all have to go to the police station now.
"The local bully is seriously injured and is demanding more money; I'm afraid I can't refuse." Anyone with a brain understands the principle that even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake; paying money to avoid further trouble is necessary.
"A bunch of useless trash, they can't even handle a few kids." Chen Ziming's eyes were sinister. He arrived in S City yesterday morning and resolved the Lin family's lawsuit with someone else in less than two hours.
Although distant water cannot quench a nearby fire, the Chen family still wields considerable influence in the capital. Several important figures in the business world of S City want to curry favor with the Chen family, and with a simple word, this matter was immediately settled.
However, the local thugs probably don't know about the families in the capital, so they wouldn't care about his identity.
"How did those people get so badly injured?" Chen Ziming suspected that Bai Junbai's bodyguards were responsible for the beating.
"Two of them were pierced by silver needles and are still paralyzed and unable to move. One had his spine fractured, and two others had their arms and legs broken." The assistant wiped the sweat from his forehead again.
"Young Master, I heard that the two eldest girls in the Lin family are born with superhuman strength. When they were eight or nine years old, they could lift a wild boar weighing five or six hundred pounds..."
This is the latest information the assistant found, but it's clear the other party exaggerated; that wild boar back then only weighed about 300 jin (150 kg).
