Chapter 311: What's Fake Can't Become True
Sheng Huaian stood in the study, surprise flashed in his eyes. He suppressed the fragments of light that burst out in his eyes and just remained silent for a long time.
This news is so unexpected.
During the phone call yesterday, even though Jiang Wanrou was sitting next to him, he didn't pay attention to what she was saying. He just thought it was an ordinary song.
Mr. Sheng's sudden words stunned even him.
In the past few years, Sheng Huaian has been looking for Sheng Yue's whereabouts. There was news that she was sold abroad. As long as it was a country that Sheng Yue might have been to, even the most remote gathering places for homeless people, he would personally look for her.
True and false clues are intertwined. There are rumors that she was sold into the red light district, and some say that she was caught by gang forces and involved in a container of child human trafficking.
Sheng Huaian contacted the gang members who had participated in the crime. Some of them said that they had indeed seen a little girl who looked very similar to Sheng Yue, but she had luckily been rescued.
Sheng Huaian broke into the government building at night, looking for the list of rescued children. Although there were some clues related to "Sheng Yue" on the list, they did not point to Sheng Yue himself.
Those were data that had been swapped. If he continued to follow the clues, there was a high probability that the same thing would happen again, where he found the wrong person and almost had someone impersonate Sheng Yue.
In order to destroy Sheng's father's hopes, some people in this family even forged a paternity test and blood samples. They would rather welcome a "fake Sheng Yue" back than see Sheng's father get what he wanted.
Time has been urging Sheng Huaian to speed up and fulfill his father's wish as soon as possible, so that his father would not leave the world with regrets, but he must be cautious everywhere.
"Grandpa, did you really hear that nursery rhyme?" Sheng Huaian looked at Grandpa Sheng solemnly. He didn't care about the pain in his body. His whole body was tense.
Old Master Sheng rubbed his temples, stared at the wound on his shoulder, and just shook his head, "You and Xian'er are really..."
He wanted to reprimand you, but when the words came to his lips, he got down to business with a complicated expression: "Did someone quietly sing a nursery rhyme next to you yesterday? No one else knows that song except your deceased grandmother, me, and your aunt."
Shengyue was lost at the age of five. Can she still remember things from her childhood?
This is really unbelievable.
The elderly Mr. Sheng had a close call last night. Even he couldn't be sure whether the voice he heard was real or just an illusion in the critical moment.
Old Master Sheng had wanted to find his long-lost daughter, but he always returned empty-handed. On the contrary, there were countless people pretending to be Sheng Yue, so he gradually gave up on the matter.
Sheng Huaian held his breath and stared into Grandpa Sheng's eyes. He suddenly caught the hesitation that flashed across the old man's eyes. His face was tense and he clenched his fists at his sides to suppress the indescribable emotions in his heart. He still said, "No wonder you feel this way. My grandson also finds it strange why I had an inexplicable liking for her when I saw her last night."
"There is no time to lose. I will bring her here and you will know once you see her."
Old Master Sheng's expression relaxed, his majesty faded, and he sat quietly in the chair, looking particularly approachable. Compared to Sheng Huaian's excitement and anxiety, he seemed a little too calm.
The Sheng family has reached its prominent position today after going through many ups and downs, and the painful lessons are still vivid in people’s minds.
Old Master Sheng tried his best to suppress the ripples in his eyes and said, "I promised your grandmother that I must discuss all major matters with her before making any decisions."
Sheng Huaian's face changed immediately. He suppressed his emotions, but he couldn't help it and blurted out: "That old woman has nothing to do with me. You care what she thinks, but I don't."
"Huaian!"
Old Master Sheng was displeased. "Back then, your father was determined to find Yue'er and almost led a wolf into the house. She almost lost her life to protect your father. It's fine that your father didn't recognize her, but now even you are doing the same. How can this not make people feel disheartened?"
"My aunt has been missing for so many years. It's hard for me to know that the relative I miss day and night is right in front of me. But grandpa, in order to protect Sheng Yao, you even want to hurt her and her daughter. Isn't this even more heartbreaking?" Sheng Huaian's already cold face was full of dissatisfaction, and he retorted without showing any weakness.
"They almost died yesterday! Tell me, why did Sheng Yao target them? Was it because of Lin Jun? I don't think it's that simple!"
"Grandpa, you usually favor that woman, but are you still so stubborn in such a big matter?"
Those eyes were extremely cold and intimidating, like an extremely sharp sword, piercing straight at Mr. Sheng.
Sheng Huaian stared at the other person ferociously, refusing to move an inch.
Old Master Sheng couldn't bear it anymore, and turned his head away first, muttering, "Alas... yes, if Yue'er was still alive, she would have already started a family and become a parent at this age."
"But don't make any rash statements about things that haven't been confirmed. We can't be sure whether she is your aunt or not."
"Is it nonsense? The test report can't lie." Sheng Huaian's face became more and more stern, and his eyes were determined: "Grandpa is worried that someone is cheating. We can do such tests a hundred or a thousand times, and confirm them repeatedly until we get conclusive results that convince you."
"What is false cannot become true, and what is true cannot become false."
He knew his grandfather's character too well. If he didn't strike while the iron was hot to finalize the matter, any hesitation or delay would probably lead to more twists and turns and variables later.
Sheng Huaian didn't care whether it was true or false, he just wanted to grasp every hope, even if this hope was... a little ridiculous to him.
The man was about to continue speaking when, at this moment, the tightly closed study door was pushed open from the outside without any warning.
Old Mrs. Sheng, with a head full of silver hair, walked in unsteadily and burst into tears instantly.
"Old man, you must save our daughter and grandson! They have been captured by the Inspection Bureau!"
"Hurry up and save them!"
....
The news that Lin Jun was arrested by the Inspection Bureau spread everywhere.
There were reports that when the Audit Office caught him, he was in disguise and preparing to sneak out of the country.
Reporters took photos of Lin Jun being arrested at the port and published them on major portals. Jiang Zhiyue looked at the photos again and again and felt relieved.
In the following days, she stayed by Jiang Wanrou's side all the time. Jiang Wanrou felt bad about it, so she took her to tidy up the Mu family's garden one by one.
The bouquet of flowers dropped on the ground is transformed into the most exquisite flower arrangement artwork under the embellishment of a woman's skillful hands.
Jiang Wanrou works hard and conscientiously, doing everything she can.
