The following morning, Shen Siyuan and Zhou Kaiyun went to the Nanzhou branch to check Mr. Qiao's contact information.
Because they lacked relevant identification documents, the service center refused to provide them with information.
Afterwards, Shen Siyuan and Zhou Kaiyun went to the Nanzhou Daily.
...
The editor-in-chief of the Nanzhou Daily looked at Shen Siyuan's old newspapers and said, "The information from twenty years ago is probably gone. At that time, it may not have been entered into the computer system. Because missing person notices and the like were all advertisements that individuals paid for themselves to place, we probably don't know either."
Shen Siyuan and Zhou Kaiyun looked sincere, and their eyes revealed a hint of pleading.
Having finally received news from back then, they genuinely wanted to find their daughter.
Shen Siyuan: "We are not familiar with Nanzhou. I know this happened a long time ago, and it won't be easy to investigate. But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we don't want to give up. No matter what has become of our child, we want to find her. We miss our child so much. Please help us."
As he spoke, tears welled up in Chen Siyuan's eyes.
It's been twenty years already, it's been so hard to get through, those feelings are something other people can't understand.
They also suffered for more than 20 years.
After a moment of contemplation, the editor-in-chief of Nanzhou Daily looked at Shen Siyuan and Zhou Kaiyun.
He also felt quite sorry for them.
“I’ve only been the editor-in-chief of Nanzhou Daily for a few years, so I really don’t know anything about what happened before. However, I can ask the previous editor-in-chief for you. People who can afford to publish missing person notices for 30 consecutive days should have a certain financial foundation and should be able to find the person.”
"Thank you, thank you so much!"
"You're welcome!"
...
After making numerous contacts, the editor-in-chief of Nanzhou Daily located the former editor-in-chief who had retired.
The other party agreed, and he took Shen Siyuan and Zhou Kaiyun to meet them.
Former Editor-in-Chief Wang: "I still remember this little girl. Years ago, another colleague and I visited her in the hospital. She had been in a car accident and was seriously injured. She was lucky to survive. However, she didn't remember anything at the time and had lost her speech."
Chen Siyuan: "Do you know Mr. Qiao?"
The former editor-in-chief nodded. "Because of this matter, I contacted Mr. Qiao many times and even had a meal together. Now, he is indeed not in Nanzhou."
Shen Siyuan anxiously pressed, "Can you help us find him?"
“I can ask my friend to help you contact him. He’s in Haicheng right now.”
Haicheng?
Upon hearing this, Shen Siyuan and Zhou Kaiyun were quite delighted.
"We came from Haicheng."
"What a coincidence! Perhaps you two are truly destined to meet. Mr. Qiao is quite a celebrity in Haicheng. You should know him. Mr. Qiao is Qiao Yijue, the chairman of the Qiao Group. It seems the Qiao Group no longer exists. What it's called now is... JOE! Mr. Qiao seems to have retired."
Qiao Yijue?
JOE?
Shen Siyuan and Zhou Kaiyun did not know Qiao Yijue, but they knew Joe.
“We know Joe, we can look it up ourselves, thank you very much.”
"It's good that you know. I also wish you to find your child soon. Back then, I felt so sorry for that little girl. Fortunately, she met Mr. Qiao. Mr. Qiao is a very kind person."
"Thank you! We have truly met kind-hearted people. You are all good people, and we wish you happiness and good health!"
...
Shen Siyuan and Zhou Kaiyun took the last flight back to Haicheng.
They were especially grateful and thankful that fate was still on their side.
Shen Siyuan and Zhou Kaiyun searched online for information about the Qiao family in Haicheng.
Rumor has it that Qiao Chu is the adopted daughter of the Qiao family.
Her grandfather was Qiao Yijue.
So, that little girl was adopted by the Qiao family back then, and she must be Qiao Chu.
Upon hearing this news, Shen Siyuan and Zhou Kaiyun were quite excited.
Before boarding the plane, they looked at Qiao Chu's WeChat Moments again, looking at her photos.
I hope she really is their daughter.
They've had such a hard time finding their daughter!
Hopefully, this time it won't be a disappointment.
******
Before they could figure out the truth, Shen Siyuan and Zhou Kaiyun did not dare to disturb Qiao Chu.
They went to find Qiao Yijue first.
After explaining his purpose, Shen Siyuan showed Qiao Yijue an old copy of the Nanzhou Daily.
After glancing at the old newspapers, Qiao Yijue stared intently at Shen Siyuan and Zhou Kaiyun.
Where did you get this old newspaper?
Shen Siyuan truthfully said, "I bought it from a scrap metal recycling station. When I saw the photo on it, I recognized our daughter Yao Yao. I called the number on it, but the number was no longer in service. We went to Nanzhou. It was the editor-in-chief of the Nanzhou Daily who told us that Mr. Qiao was you."
It must be fate!
Qiao Yijue nodded slightly.
“I was the one who posted the missing person notice! Just a few days ago, I lost 30 old copies of the Nan Zhou Daily.”
At this moment, the maid interjected, "Master, I'm sorry! You told me to throw away those old things, but I thought they could be sold, so I sold them to the recycling center along with the cardboard boxes and such."
"It's not your fault. Perhaps this is just fate."
It really is fate, what a coincidence!
He nodded slightly in deep thought.
"Mr. Qiao, where is the little girl in the newspaper? Is she alright?"
“Zhou Kaiyun, a great designer, so Qiao Chu took after you.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Kaiyun burst into tears.
I didn't expect it to be true.
Their daughter is not only alive, but also very accomplished.
She got married and became a mother.
Shen Siyuan held Zhou Kaiyun in his arms; he understood her feelings all too well.
Chen Siyuan also cried.
This is the good news they've been waiting for for over twenty years.
He was not only excited, but also filled with indescribable emotions.
"Thank you... thank you!"
Qiao Yijue sighed and said, "Back then, she was in a car accident and was badly injured. She was lying on the road, bleeding a lot. I happened to be passing by and took her to the hospital. We searched for her relatives for a long time and even called the police, but we couldn't find any. At that time, communication was not well-developed, so information could not be effectively transmitted between the north and south."
I felt so sorry for this child. Later, regardless of whether I found her family or not, I decided to adopt her and keep her with me. I've kept the old newspapers, hoping she could find her real parents and reunite with her family. I think her family must be very anxious too. Unfortunately, many years have passed, and she hasn't found them.
Qiao Chu became a mother, and now she's very happy, loved by many. I thought things would continue like this, that I would always treat her as my own granddaughter, and nothing else mattered, so I decided to throw away all the old newspapers. I never expected you all to come looking for me.”
“Yaoyao disappeared in Qiu County. At the time, we were all abroad and her grandmother was taking care of her. We don’t know how she ended up in Nanzhou. We reported it to the police back then, but we haven’t heard anything since.”
“Let’s do a DNA test first. I can’t believe you just based on this statement.”
