When Zhou Shengyu finished his phone call and turned back to the ward, he found that Xu Yanshu had already left.
Seeing the undisguised joy on Shen Wei's face, Zhou Shengyu couldn't help but speak up.
You seem to really like Yan Shu!
"Yes, I can't really explain why, but from the first time I met this child, I felt a strong connection with him," Shen Wei nodded without hesitation, her face softening. Then, she changed the subject, "And you're talking about me!"
"Judging from the way you were just now, you must really like that child!"
That's true!
Zhou Shengyu did not deny this. Apart from the initial misunderstanding, he genuinely admired Xu Yanshu, this young man.
"I just asked Yan Shu about his birth year. He was born in the same year as our son. If our son were alive, he would be about the same age as Yan Shu!"
These words were like a wake-up call. Zhou Shengyu suddenly looked up and asked, "Is Yan Shu's surname Xu?"
"Didn't you already know him? Why are you asking me again?"
How come he didn't even realize that?
Zhou Shengyu hurriedly patted his head and then rushed out. Yan Shu's surname was Xu, and he had previously heard Old Huang mention that Xu Yan Shu was just an adopted son of the Xu family.
If that's the case, then it explains why Xiao Hao has been targeting Yan Shu—because Xiao Hao doesn't want them to find Yan Shu.
By the time Zhou Shengyu arrived at the hospital entrance in the elevator, Xu Yanshu had already opened the door and driven away.
The thought that Yan Shu might be the son he had been searching for inevitably stirred up a surge of excitement in him, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed that he hadn't realized it sooner.
At that time, Xu Yanshu also happened to receive a call from Huang Dongsheng.
"Yan Shu, be prepared. The Kyoto Police Station has already screened out some people who meet the criteria. Old Zhou will get the news soon."
"I just found out about this myself. I thought Lao Zhou already knew, so I called him earlier to try and find out what he was thinking. I didn't expect he didn't know anything at all."
"It's all my fault. I should have known better than to make that call."
Xu Yanshu was slightly taken aback for a moment, but then she reacted and said gently, "Uncle Huang, you don't need to admire it. Just let things take their natural course!"
So far, he has no resentment towards the Zhou family, nor does he dislike or resist the Zhou couple's interactions.
Grandma left a will before she passed away, hoping that he could find his biological parents, so there's no need for him to do certain things now.
Xu Yanshu narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, wondering if he would have enough reason and right to keep Shengyi by his side once he returned to the Zhou family.
The person on the other end was silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, "So you've thought it through?"
"It's not so much that I've figured it out, it's just that I feel these things should be left to take their natural course!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yanshu couldn't help but recall his conversation with Shen Wei, and his gaze gradually softened.
He thought it would be a little awkward at first, but he didn't expect to chat so well. He thought this might be the magic of blood ties.
Driving back to the studio, Xu Yanshu was surprised to find Jiang Zhengyu there as well.
He casually pulled up a chair and sat down. "When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I've almost finished dealing with things here, and I'll probably be heading back to Kyoto tomorrow. I just happened to be here taking care of some business."
It is said that this person drove to Ouyang's residence in the middle of the night.
Thinking about it, Jiang Zhengyu looked at Xu Yanshu with more interest. It seemed that his provocation was very effective, and some people were starting to get restless.
Xu Yanshu felt a little uncomfortable under the gaze. He coughed twice as a reminder, and only after the other person looked away did he bring up the important matter.
"I just went to the hospital to see Shen Wei!"
Jiang Zhengyu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then tentatively asked, "You've changed your mind?"
"Well, I guess so!"
Xu Yanshu nodded without hesitation, and then mentioned the truth he had learned from Huang Dongsheng.
"So perhaps no one is to blame for what happened back then. And when I saw him looking sickly before, I was also afraid of experiencing the pain of a parent outliving their child again."
Perhaps it was also due to the stimulation from her aunt.
Jiang Zhengyu immediately understood, but wisely refrained from pointing it out.
In any case, this is a good thing.
"If you really decide to go back to the Zhou family, then you have to be even more careful to watch out for Zhou Zehao. He has always been unscrupulous in his actions, and who knows what he might do when he gets angry!"
Xu Yanshu nodded knowingly; he naturally knew this.
Thinking back to the commotion that had just come from the ward door, he couldn't help but wonder if it was Zhou Zehao, but then he felt that things couldn't be that coincidental.
...
Having developed a suspicion, Zhou Shengyu immediately went to investigate and confirmed that the police station had already received the news and had notified Zhou Zehao in a timely manner.
The reason he hadn't received any news for a while was because all the clerks who knew about it had submitted their resignations one after another. Something was definitely amiss, and it wasn't hard to guess who was behind it.
On the other hand, he also confirmed that Xu Yanshu's hometown was indeed Baoning. Combined with the numerous clues he had previously gathered, he was basically certain of Xu Yanshu's identity.
After some hesitation, Zhou Shengyu felt that he couldn't just acknowledge her without a word, but there were other things that needed to be clarified at once.
