Su An did not ask the doubts in his heart.
It was only after we left the sanatorium that he curiously asked, "Does Mr. Xie live here?"
"yes."
Gu Jingchen nodded, and seeing that she seemed even less curious, he continued, "The Xie family... was originally a wealthy family. Old Master Xie's wife died early, leaving him with only one son. However, he had no interest in business and was fascinated by medicine. He even married a wife who was also a medical researcher. They also had a son who seemed to be... two years younger than me."
"That……"
Su An's brows tightened, and he intuitively felt that the situation was not as simple as he said.
It sounds like they are a very happy family. Why would Mr. Xie live here alone?
Before she even asked, Gu Jingchen saw what she was thinking.
He took her hand and walked towards the parking lot.
Perhaps because he was worried about Mr. Gu, his fingertips were not as warm as usual, but rather a little cold, and he even had some cold sweat on his face, which didn't feel very comfortable.
Su An hesitated for two seconds, but did not let go, and just let him pull her into the car.
The car started, and Gu Jingchen continued the previous topic, "Grandpa Xie had no objection to his son and daughter-in-law studying medicine. He even said that he was still in good health and had time to train his grandson Xie Ze to be his heir. But...then an accident happened."
"His son and daughter-in-law mysteriously vanished on their way to a medical forum, taking their grandson with them. The Xie and Gu families, along with the police, expended considerable resources searching for them. However, surveillance systems weren't as advanced as they are today. They simply vanished, and then... Grandpa Xie fell seriously ill. He was left with no immediate family, only his surrogate father who wanted to take over his property."
Su An pursed her lips, not expecting this to happen.
Gu Jingchen continued to speak.
"Later, after Grandpa Jie recovered, he began to live in seclusion. Apart from Grandpa, his long-time friend, he rarely saw guests. One time, he fell ill at night and was discovered by Grandpa who was visiting the next day. He was rescued for three days and three nights before he finally woke up. Then, as if Grandpa Jie had suddenly come to his senses, he distributed his family property. Grandpa wanted to invite Grandpa Jie to live with the Gu family, but Grandpa didn't want to trouble Grandpa and insisted on staying in the nursing home. Every time Grandpa wanted to chat with him, he went there. Grandpa..."
When Gu Jingchen said this, he suddenly paused for a moment.
Then he continued, "When Grandpa first fell ill, he came to see Grandpa Xie and suddenly collapsed at the door of the ward. Grandpa Xie called a doctor and rushed him to the hospital for emergency treatment. He then stayed here. We thought that when Grandpa woke up, he would have friends and family to chat with him, so he might recover faster."
"So that's how it is..."
Su An nodded. He couldn't tell what emotion he felt, but he couldn't help being moved by the friendship between the two old men.
Both of them are each other's saviors.
It’s just that Mr. Jie...
Thinking of the story Gu Jingchen had just told, Su An couldn't help but feel a sense of empathy.
She knew only too well what it was like to lose all her family.
However, she was still young, and whenever she thought of these feelings, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Mr. Xie endured it for even longer than she did...
Su An lowered his eyes, thinking that he would go and see the old man more often if he had the chance in the future.
Then he suddenly thought of another thing and asked curiously, "By the way, I just saw that Mr. Xie seemed to have a tattoo on his arm. Is that some kind of symbol of the Xie family?"
"yes."
Gu Jingchen did not deny it.
A current suddenly surged through Su An's heart, and he thought of something in a flash.
Tattoo on arm...
The wound was in exactly the same place.
The mysterious man wants to become a doctor.
Mr. Xie's son and daughter-in-law are also engaged in medical research...
There is also a kind of lost grandson...
These inexplicable clues seemed to be subtly connected because of what Gu Jingchen had just done.
Su An's mind was in a mess, but he had a hunch that he must have caught something!
It’s just that I haven’t figured it out yet.
Thinking about it, she hurriedly asked, "Gu Jingchen, when did the incident at Mr. Xie's house happen?"
Gu Jingchen frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "It was about twenty years ago, when I was still in elementary school."
"Twenty years ago..."
Su An muttered to himself.
Leng Yun looked to be between 25 and 30 years old...
Like...
What if he is the child from that year?
She took a deep breath, feeling a little excited and unbelievable because of the sudden idea that came to her mind.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Su An was in a bad mood, Gu Jingchen quickly pulled the car over and looked at her worriedly.
Su An turned his head suddenly, his eyes scorching, "Do you still remember, I told you that Leng Yun had a burn scar on his arm, it was an old wound, and the location of that scar is exactly the same as the location of the tattoo on Mr. Jie's arm that I saw today!"
"Same?"
Gu Jingchen's eyebrows jumped, and he understood Su An's intention almost instantly.
"You suspect Leng Yun is..."
“What if?”
Su An unconsciously grabbed Gu Jingchen's sleeve, "What if he really is that person? That mysterious man is very powerful. If I can have Xia Xiaomo's identity, then Leng Yun's identity may not be true!"
She was right.
Gu Jingchen pondered for a moment, and something quickly passed through his mind. He suddenly remembered the inexplicable sense of familiarity when he first met him.
He had met Jie Ze once when he was a child.
But they were too young at the time and they had never had a conversation, so the picture has long been blurry.
But he still remembered Xie Ze's mother's appearance.
That sense of similarity is the outline of the cold and even eyebrows and eyes of the current father, which is similar to that of his relative!
Thinking of this, he started the car without saying anything else and said in a deep voice, "It's possible. I felt that Leng Yun looked familiar when I first met him. He might look a lot like his father, but I have to see a photo to be sure."
"In that case..."
Su An quickly glanced at him, and there was excitement and uncertainty in both of their eyes.
Although this is just a guess.
But if you really want to be like them, then...
If you persuade Leng Yun to switch sides, the chances of him switching sides will greatly increase!
Not only can they rescue the child, but they may also be able to find out what happened back then and give Mr. Jie an apology!
As Gu Jingchen was speaking, he took out his cell phone and quickly called Grandpa Jie.
