Chapter 107 The DNA of the Ashes and the Unique Pendant
Rong's mother's health had never been good. After being shocked by the banquet, she was in a daze and fainted again, where Rong's father took good care of her.
The more Rong's father looked at her, the more heartbroken he became. He didn't want her to get too involved in other people's affairs. As for Shen Jin, he thought his appearance had upset her and was bad for her. Perhaps it would be better if they could avoid seeing each other.
"Tell me about that Shen Jin. I heard he came to this city with you and really wants to see your mother?" Mr. Rong sat on the sofa, looking intently at Rong Lan, who was staring blankly beside him.
“Yes, that’s true.” Rong Lan said, and after a long silence, she once again gave him a general account of Shen Jin’s family background and social connections.
After listening, Mr. Rong frowned, but didn't have any strong feelings. He was just a little bothered when he thought about how his wife kept saying that it was her son.
"Did he come like this without bringing anything?" Rong's father asked. He remembered that his son Jin'er always wore a pendant around his neck. If Shen Jin really had any connection with Rong Jin, then he would know to bring that pendant with him.
Of course, this was just Rong's father's reflection after thinking too much. He didn't believe that Shen Jin could have any connection with his son who had been dead for many years. If there was any connection, it was probably just someone with ulterior motives working behind the scenes...
Otherwise, why would he suddenly appear after so many years of silence? And why did he choose to do it at Rong Lan's nineteenth birthday party? This day was extremely important, and many important people were invited. But because of his appearance, everything was ruined.
Is it really just a coincidence?
Mr. Rong didn't quite believe in this so-called coincidence. As the head of the Rong family and a powerful figure in the business world, he always habitually considered all the possible pros and cons, trying to figure out the reasons behind it all, so as to avoid accidentally falling into a trap that someone had already set up.
"What else could I bring?" Rong Lan smiled. "Just bring this."
This time, Rong's father fell silent, and some of his thoughts became clearer.
"Do you think Shen Jin is a trustworthy person?" Rong's father suddenly asked. He wanted to know how his son viewed Shen Jin, and at least what kind of impression he had left on his son.
After a long silence, Rong Lan replied directly, "He's very nice. He's a very gentle person and easy to get along with. He was hurt before, so he looks a bit like a child, pure and without any guile."
What he said was clearly a good idea, but Rong Lan didn't know why her father's eyes suddenly dimmed and his brows furrowed after he finished speaking.
People like this are often the ones with the most stories, which makes him even more convinced that Shen Jin's appearance was probably arranged by someone, deliberately finding someone who can pretend to be crazy and innocent, just to win people's hearts.
"What's wrong?" Rong Lan noticed his strange expression and waved her hand in front of him. "Did something come to mind?"
“It’s alright,” Rong’s father said, turning around. “If you find that Shen Jin, don’t let him meet your mother yet. Let him meet me first.”
He was worried about letting Shen Jin meet with her directly.
Rong Lan said that Shen Jin came to this city because he wanted to see his mother, but why did he run away after seeing her? What exactly does he want to do? What is his purpose?
Rong's father couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Rong Lan didn't ask any more questions. After all, he had a lot on his plate lately and was too busy to think about anything else.
Duan Yi suppressed the matter at the hospital, preventing any news from getting out. Rong Lan tried to find out what was going on, while Duan Yi tried to cover it up. One was in the open, and the other was in the shadows.
After arranging the plane tickets, Yan Yu was still worried, so he called the doctor and asked, "In his current condition, will leaving the hospital and traveling for several hours cause him any harm?"
After hearing his words, the doctor frowned, looked at the weak person on the hospital bed, and, not knowing what he was thinking, said, "I already said yesterday that the patient is weak and has not been able to recover despite receiving so much blood transfusion, which has caused some damage to his body."
"Can't you see he's still receiving a continuous IV drip? You're already eager to take him home?" the doctor said, slightly displeased. "I can tell you clearly, you're harming him."
"I understand, I'll be careful." Yan Yu frowned, said nothing more, just waved his hand to signal the doctor to leave, while he stood by the window, lit a cigarette, and silently pondered various countermeasures.
Yan Yu was unsure of what to do, so when Shen Jin was half asleep, he said directly, "I want to take you away from here and back to where you were before."
"What...?" Shen Jin's face turned deathly pale, he could hardly believe what he was hearing, and he became somewhat agitated. "If you want to go back, go back by yourself, don't take me with you! I won't go with you! I have nothing to do with you anymore!"
“How can we not be related!” Yan Yu said firmly, “You are mine! You can only be mine! How can we not be related!”
Shen Jin gritted his teeth: "You...you're being unreasonable!"
“I know you hate me now, but…” Yan Yu took a breath, walked to Shen Jin’s side, cupped his face, and stared intently into his eyes, “Please give me another chance, okay?”
Shen Jin felt like he was about to be driven mad by him. He couldn't say a word, his face turning red with anger, but his eyes were filled with disgust and hatred.
Yan Yu could read the emotions in his eyes, but he chose not to look, because the more he looked, the sadder he would become. It was better to ignore it and cherish the time he spent with him.
“The doctor said you are weak and need to rest. Don’t get too emotional, it’s not good for your health,” Yan Yu walked to his side and tried to help him up. “I’ll take you to the bathroom to wash up, and then let’s eat. I’ve already bought it for you.”
He didn't know what Shen Jin liked to eat, so he bought a lot and put them on the table. They smelled delicious and looked very appetizing, but unfortunately, they had no effect on Shen Jin in the current state.
Shen Jin slapped Yan Yu's hand away forcefully and shouted impatiently, "Let go of me! Don't touch me! I don't want you to touch me!"
Shen Jin felt that it was because he was too weak that Yan Yu treated him this way. If he were stronger and more capable, Yan Yu would not dare to act so recklessly and arbitrarily.
Yan Yu couldn't help but raise his voice and shout, "Stop making a scene, okay?!"
Shen Jin was startled by his sudden roar. He was already afraid of Yan Yu, so he simply fell silent, his head drooping and swaying, filled with sorrow, looking rather pitiful.
Seeing that he was quiet and obedient, Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, half-embracing his waist and gently coaxing him in his ear, "Be good, go wash up first and then eat."
Chen Jin felt only disgust.
He took Shen Jin to the bathroom to wash up and then brought him back to the ward. He started feeding him bite by bite. Shen Jin didn't want to open his mouth, but he had a feeling that if he didn't, Yan Yu might have to pry his mouth open to feed him. So he didn't want to suffer and could only obey for the time being.
Yan Yu was satisfied with his reaction, smiled and rubbed his head, then fed him a mouthful of rice and said with a smile, "That's a good boy. You need to eat more to nourish your body so you won't be so weak."
Shen Jin felt that the food he was being fed lately was like shards of glass, making his throat ache. Yan Yu's words also stung his eardrums. He laughed self-deprecatingly, "...Isn't it all because...you took my blood without permission to save Xie Li?"
Yan Yu's smile vanished instantly, his hand, which was feeding Shen Jin, froze in mid-air, and then he lowered his eyes, repeating the meaningless words once more: "I'm sorry..."
He kept saying sorry, but Shen Jin didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt from him, as if saying sorry was just to make himself feel better.
After feeding Shen Jin until he was full, he let Shen Jin lie back on the hospital bed to rest. He couldn't sleep at first, but the IV drip contained a sedative, so he fell asleep again soon after.
Meanwhile, at the airport, Duan Yi encountered police officers and various other personnel returning from the crash site, along with a car carrying the luggage of many of the deceased and injured.
Among them, Duan Yi saw Xie Li's luggage.
He walked over discreetly, glanced at it casually as if he were inspecting it, and then he saw a light purple, round pendant that looked very different and extremely beautiful.
Duan Yi's pupils suddenly contracted, but he quickly composed himself, picked up the pendant, put it in his pocket, and smiled even more meaningfully.
Rong Jin's DNA, Rong Jin's unique pendant, excellent.
Duan Yi squinted and smiled: "Things seem to be getting more interesting."
Not long after, Rong Lan and Luo Zheng received the news that Yan Yu and Shen Jin were in a hospital and rushed over immediately.
To their surprise, when they followed the clues to Chen Jin's hospital room, they found it empty when they opened the door.
"Damn it! I'm too late!" Luo Zheng rushed over before her injury had healed, only to be a step too late. Furious, she kicked the door, accidentally reopening her wound.
"Be careful," Rong Lan reminded him, and then quickly dialed Yan Yu's number, but a female voice came through the receiver, and the other party's phone was switched off and could not be reached.
In a moment of urgency, Rong Lan dialed another number and immediately ordered, "Trains! Planes! All modes of transportation, investigate whether Yan Yu is here! As soon as you spot him! Stop him no matter what!"
