Chapter 102 How could I possibly mistake my own son?
The storm showed no signs of abating, sweeping darkly across the bustling city, as if shrouded in shadow, or like a bloodthirsty beast with its mouth wide open, viciously devouring everything.
The news that the plane had crashed and caused passenger deaths was not immediately disseminated. After all, it was deliberately concealed before the details were cleared up, and it was not quickly communicated in such a short time.
Therefore, only a few family members who follow flight schedules or have family members rushing to catch a flight know about this news.
Yan Yu, who was in the hotel, was completely unaware of the situation. All he could think about was getting Shen Jin to forgive him. However, Shen Jin was probably too tired. After lying back on the bed, he stopped talking.
"Are you tired?" Yan Yu asked softly. He wanted to lean in and pull the curled-up person into his arms, but every time he reached out his hands, he felt Shen Jin's resistance, so he could only pull them back.
He didn't speak, so Yan Yu couldn't help but mutter to himself again, "Don't leave me again... okay?"
After saying that, he felt that he was just being delusional. If he could really listen to him and not leave him, then he wouldn't have run to such a far place. Wasn't he just trying to get away from him?
"You came to this faraway city..." Even though he knew what was going on, Yan Yu couldn't help but ask, "Just to avoid me? Am I that scary to you that you would abandon your home and your sister to come here?"
When Yan Yu said this, he felt a pang of unease, because he knew that Shen Jin hadn't left alone, but with another man, and what was that man's relationship with him...?
The two of them...
Yan Yu quickly shook his head, trying not to think too much about it, because the more he thought about it, the more frantic he became, and the more he would lose control of the intense jealousy in his heart.
Because he only wanted the ashes to belong to him, to belong only to him.
Lying in bed with his eyes downcast, Chen Jin listened to his words and spoke in a hoarse voice, "There's no home anymore... Xie Li is ruined..."
Thinking about it still makes Shen Jin feel sad. After all, that place was always different for him, but because of Xie Li, it was ruined beyond recognition...
Even if we go back, it won't be the same as it was before.
Seeing that he was finally willing to speak again, Yan Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I know, I understand that he was behind many things, and I misunderstood you a lot because of this, and hurt you. I... I'm sorry..."
Shen Jin didn't respond to his apology. After all, some things are better left unsaid, like his dilapidated home filled with memories, everything inside was destroyed.
"I know you don't want to talk to me right now, so you should rest and calm down first." Yan Yu said beside him. After waiting for a while without him speaking, he slowly got out of bed, walked to the window, and lit a cigarette.
When I opened the window, I could see the large raindrops pattering down. Lightning flashed, illuminating the dark sky like a curtain of light being drawn back. Then a strong wind blew up, breaking many of the trees along the roadside.
"Damn it, this awful weather." Yan Yu flicked the cigarette in his hand, completely baffled as to why he had finally made it to the capital city only to be met with such terrible weather.
He had planned to bring Shen Jin back to City A as soon as he met him, no matter what. But with this kind of weather, it looked like he would have to stay a few more days before he could take Shen Jin away.
Yan Yu took out his phone from his pocket and glanced at the weather forecast. It showed that there would be storms in the next few days, which would cause flight delays. After all, safety was the most important thing.
"Hmm?" Just as Yan Yu was about to put his phone back in his pocket, a news article popped up, catching his attention. He couldn't help but click on it to take a look.
It was a news report about flight safety. Yan Yu clearly saw several lines of text, saying that a flight had an in-flight accident that day, with the plane crashing to the ground, causing numerous passenger deaths and injuries. Further details were still under investigation.
"A flight from City A to this city?" Yan Yu was stunned. He hadn't expected it to be from his own city, which made him a little nervous. After all, he might know someone in his own city.
But thinking about it, it's unlikely that anyone would be so lucky as to catch this flight. After all, if it was to attend the Rong family banquet, they should have arrived during the daytime today, even if they didn't arrive the day before. This flight, however, clearly arrived at night.
Yan Yu glanced at the time; it was almost midnight. The banquet was scheduled for 8 p.m., but because of his and Shen Jin's back-and-forth, so much time had passed without him realizing it.
“Missed call…” Yan Yu frowned as he stared at the series of notifications. He clicked on it and found that it was a call from the Rong family’s venue. He originally wanted to call back to apologize.
After all, their birthday party had been turned into complete chaos because of them, so it would be incredibly rude not to apologize. But considering it was already so late, and calling wouldn't be convenient, he simply turned off his phone and tossed it aside.
"Are you hungry?" Yan Yu suddenly asked the person on the bed. After receiving no response, he used the hotel phone to order some food and placed it on the table next to him.
The Rong family's birthday party couldn't go on until the end, given the unexpected incident. Everyone understood and gave Rong Lan birthday gifts.
"Young Master Rong, happy birthday." Duan Yi maintained his composure, walked over, took a gift box from Jiang Yang's hand, and said with a smile, "Birthday present."
"Thank you." Rong Lan accepted it, not having time for formalities. After all, she was extremely busy, and not everyone could maintain such composure as the Duan family head at all times.
"I apologize for the poor hospitality given what happened today," Rong Lan said casually.
Duan Yi smiled understandingly and said, "It's alright, you guys go ahead with your work."
Duan Yi smiled and left their sight. He and his entourage Jiang Yang walked out of the venue at a leisurely pace. When they got downstairs and saw the torrential rain, the smile in his peach blossom eyes deepened.
"How's the matter I asked you to do going?" Duan Yi asked in a tone that only the two of them could hear, his relaxed expression as if he were chatting with him about the weather. "Send people to keep a close eye on the Rong family and the Luo family, and see what they do."
Jiang Yang nodded, her gaze fixed intently on him: "Okay."
“Hmm,” Duan Yi nodded in satisfaction and smiled. “As for that, Chen… Chen Jin? Is that what he’s called? You need to send someone to find him for me as soon as possible, and then hide him away from everyone.”
Jiang Yang asked uncertainly, "Young Master, that person... is it?"
Duan Yi smiled and said, "I want to have him."
Jiang Yang was slightly taken aback, and her eyes dimmed considerably.
Duan Yi, standing next to him, had his smiling eyes narrowed slightly, his smile deepening, though he seemed lost in thought.
Duan Yi thought that if he couldn't seize every opportunity that was useful to him, then he would really be very sorry.
Rong's mother was already in poor health, and the matter of Shen Jin had dealt her a heavy blow. It took her a while to recover from her dazed state, and she immediately grabbed Rong Jin's hand: "I saw your brother! I saw your brother!"
"I know, calm down first." Rong Lan patted her back and said to his father, "Dad, take her home to rest first, I'll handle things here."
"You've worked hard." Mr. Rong nodded, then turned to Mrs. Rong, put his arm around her shoulder, and said gently, "Alright, let's go back now. You're too tired, you might..."
Before he could finish speaking, Madam Rong impatiently interrupted him, shaking her head and saying firmly, "I can't be wrong! I absolutely can't! He is Jin'er! Absolutely! How could I possibly mistake my own son?"
Knowing that her eldest son's situation had always been a source of pain for her, Rong's father was heartbroken and could only hug her and comfort her, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, I know, we will find him, we definitely will."
Even though she said that the person was Rong Jin, Rong's father didn't believe it. After all, once a person dies, they're gone, and there aren't that many miracles.
Even so, since he wanted to see that young man so much, he would try his best to find him and let her see him, so that she could give up...
After Rong's father and wife left, Luo Ya rushed in from outside and found Rong Lan, saying urgently, "Where's A-Zheng? Where did she go? She just went after Chen Jin, right? Now she's gone too! She's not answering her phone!"
Rong Lan frowned slightly, looking a bit annoyed: "Everything's in chaos. We need to find them quickly. Shen Jin kept saying he wanted to see my mom, but now that he's met her, her attitude is so bad. She keeps saying he's my brother, which makes me wonder if he might actually be my brother."
"Does your mother think so too?" Luo Ya asked softly, thinking of the DNA report she kept at home. She didn't believe she could be wrong, especially since Rong's mother thought so too...
However, the DNA report contained clear data that had absolutely no relation to Rong Jin's DNA data...
Where exactly did we go wrong?
Could it really just be someone who looks very similar?
The raging wind and rain outside showed no signs of stopping, making this a night destined to be tumultuous.
Duan Yi returned home, went upstairs, and had Jiang Yang pour him a glass of red wine. He sat alone by the window, elegantly taking a sip, and suddenly smiled: "Chen Jin, Chen Jin... Rong Jin..."
He held a DNA report in his hand. His alluring face wore a captivating smile, his almond-shaped eyes narrowing into slits. He smiled meaningfully: "You're still alive? How interesting..."
