Chapter 69 Focus on Investigation
The sky gradually brightened, the loud wake-up call sounded, the man on the bed opened his eyes, and the room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Huo Jingchen moved lightly, stood up and opened the window a crack.
When he changed his clothes and went out, he looked back at the sleeping woman and found Xia Mi's calves resting on the quilt.
Huo Jingchen put her calf back, tucked the quilt for her and left.
As soon as he entered the army gate, a soldier from the communications company saw Huo Jingchen, stopped and greeted him, "Captain Huo, there is a letter for you."
"Sorry for the trouble." Huo Jingchen took the letter and saw on the envelope that it was from Suzhou and the sender was Sang Qi.
His calm heart was disturbed early in the morning, and Huo Jingchen quickly returned to the office with the letter.
He sat on the chair, took out the letter swiftly and unfolded it.
In the letter, Sang Qi first expressed his surprise at Huo Jingchen's letter, then explained that he was away from the unit during this period, and finally agreed to help find out Xia Yaoyao's background.
The content of the letter was very short. After reading it, Huo Jingchen put the letter away and put it in the drawer.
It looks like it will take some time to confirm.
At the same time, Suzhou Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
Sanchi, dressed in formal attire, walked up the steps, walked onto the podium, and sat in the middle seat. The auditorium was full of people, all dressed in formal attire.
After the inauguration meeting, Sangqi turned around and attended a meeting with leaders of various departments in the unit.
It was already noon when they finished their break. Sang Qi's secretary Xiao Xiao followed him and said, "Secretary, there has been a female comrade named Xia who has been looking for you recently. She came again today. Do you want to see her?"
"The surname is Xia?" Sang Qi stopped and thought of Comrade Xia Yaoyao mentioned by Huo Jingchen in the letter. "Go and ask if her name is Xia Yaoyao. If so, bring her up."
Xiao Xiao was stunned, thinking that he was really Secretary Sang’s relative.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Sang Qi returned to the office alone. When Xiao Xiao appeared again, Xia Yaoyao was already following him.
Xiao Xiao went to prepare tea. Xia Yaoyao sat on the sofa. When she looked at Sang Qi, her heart sank.
At first glance, he really looked somewhat similar to Xia Mi. When she looked again, her panicked heart calmed down a lot.
"Comrade Xia, you've been coming to see me these past few days. Do you know me or do you have something else you want to discuss?"
Xia Yaoyao was terrified. She didn't expect to meet Sang Qi so smoothly.
"Secretary Sang, Sang Guihua is my mother..."
Xia Yaoyao's first words shocked the calm Sang Qi, and he looked at Xia Yaoyao straight.
"And then? What's your father's name?"
Xia Yaoyao swallowed nervously and said in a loud voice, "My father's name is Li Chengquan."
All this information matched what he had found in his investigation.
Sangqi's calm heart exploded with tears at these words, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Then why is your last name Xia?"
Despite being shocked, Sanchi still remained calm.
"Because I'm not their biological daughter..." Xia Yaoyao bit her lip and lowered her head, "I know it's a bit shameless for me to come to you, and you might even misunderstand that I'm here to take advantage of you."
Xia Yaoyao lowered her head and her voice suddenly became weaker.
"But there are some things I still want to tell you in person, otherwise it will really become a lifelong regret for Mom."
Seeing that she called him "Mom" so affectionately, Sangqi allowed her to continue.
"When my mother was still alive, she often talked about my uncle and said she wanted to see what you looked like now. She cried every time she mentioned my uncle. When she passed away, she also asked me to say sorry to you if I saw you."
"My mother said that she didn't take good care of you, so she let you be abducted to the capital. She has been living in regret for all these years."
The eldest sister who died young was a thorn in Sangqi's heart. She had always been very kind to him since he was a child, so he was unwilling to use the dowry money from her marriage to go to school.
I thought of my eldest sister when she passed away and she was still thinking of him.
At this moment, Sangqi's heart seemed to be filled with cotton. The sour emotions surged like a tide and were all absorbed by the cotton. Every breath seemed difficult.
His mood also became heavy as he listened quietly to Xia Yaoyao's news about her elder sister.
"Seeing that my uncle is doing so well, my mother must be relieved. It's a pity that she didn't get to see it with her own eyes."
Xia Yaoyao was very measured in her response, and she was the only one who spoke. "When I went back to visit my parents' graves some time ago, I heard people in the village say that someone had come to see them. I wondered if it was you, but I didn't expect it to be you."
"It may be a little abrupt to call you uncle, but I have lived in the Li family for twenty years and have long regarded my parents as my biological parents. Secretary Sang, if you mind, I will not call you that in the future. After all, I am not their biological child."
Sang Qi had mixed emotions and his thoughts were in a mess. Xia Yaoyao didn't mention anything, but just talked about some things in the past.
"Thank you for telling me this." Sang Qi sighed, "My eldest sister has raised you for twenty years. She must have spent a lot of time and effort on you. In her heart, you are her biological child. If you don't mind, I will be your uncle in the future."
Although they are not blood relatives, fortunately, he finally has relatives other than his wife and children.
A look of joy appeared on Xia Yaoyao's face, but she quickly suppressed it.
"I don't mind. My mom has been talking to me about you before. Although we have never met, I felt close to you the first time I saw you!"
Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Xiao knocked on the door, came in with tea, and reminded Sangqi as he approached.
"Secretary, there is a meeting in ten minutes."
Sang Qi calmed down and said, "Then Yaoyao, you go back first. I have something else to do here."
"Leave me your current address so we can keep in touch. I'll arrange a time next week to take you back to have dinner with your aunt and two nephews."
Xiao Xiao was surprised. Aunt? Could this be Secretary Sang's niece?
I spent so much effort to find it before but failed. I didn’t expect it to be delivered to my door.
Xia Yaoyao nodded obediently, "Okay, then I'll go back first."
Xia Yaoyao had just finished writing the address and was about to leave the office when Sang Qi called her, "Yaoyao, you are not a biological daughter, so have you heard about the whereabouts of your biological daughter?"
Her heart skipped a beat, and she said calmly, "No, it's not uncommon for hospitals to take the wrong baby away. It was just a coincidence that the Xia family and I met. We were recognized because of the birthmark."
"Well, then you go back first."
Sang Qi watched Xia Yaoyao leave. After his emotions were interrupted, he regained his senses and thought about Huo Jingchen's letter and felt strange.
"Strange, why would Huo Jingchen ask me to check Yaoyao's background?"
The moment the words came out of his mouth, Huo Jingting's words echoed in his ears: my brother's wife is from Suzhou.
Could it be that the previous daughter of the family Yaoyao is in now married to Huo Jingchen? "Secretary, are you talking about the officer named Huo?"
Too many things happened in one day. Sangqi felt that his brain was going to explode if he thought about it any further. Even the usually steady man was a little irritated at this moment.
"Go investigate the Xia family, and focus on the previous children of the Xia family."
"Okay." Xiao Xiao agreed immediately.
