At the same time, Zeng Qiang quickly pulled out a lighter and deftly pressed the button, producing a ball of orange flame. He slowly held the flame out in front of Wang Hai, seemingly waiting for him to light his cigarette. However, Wang Hai simply waved his hand, indicating a refusal.
Wang Hai was very upset by Zeng Qiang's abrupt question, but Zeng Qiang was not unhappy at all. His face remained expressionless, as if all this was within his expectations. He calmly put away the burning lighter and quietly lit the cigarette in his hand.
Smoke slowly rose, filling the air. He smoked quietly, his eyes gazing into the distance, as if lost in thought. The whole scene was unusually quiet, with only the faint sounds of smoking and breathing intertwined.
Time passed minute by minute, Zeng Qiang remained silent, patiently waiting for Wang Hai's response.
Wang Hai also knew deeply that if he remained silent, Zeng Qiang would never give up so easily.
At this moment, the whole scene seemed extremely tense, but at the same time filled with an eerie sense of tranquility.
In such an atmosphere, it seemed as if a silent wrestle was going on between the two of them, and they were secretly competing with each other.
Under Zeng Qiang's silent gaze, Wang Hai slowly raised his head.
He cleared his throat gently and replied in a low and calm voice, "Xiaolan is indeed not my biological sister. I only learned this recently."
He paused and looked at Liu Feng, who looked surprised.
He looked at Zeng Qiang again, but Zeng Qiang was unusually calm.
"I don't know if my younger sister is the daughter Comrade Zeng mentioned. I really can't be sure. After all, the world is so big, and there are many people who look alike. I'm afraid Comrade Zeng needs to personally investigate, judge, and decide the true situation."
After saying this, Wang Hai stared at Zeng Qiang quietly, as if waiting for his reaction. The atmosphere in the room grew solemn, as if time had stood still.
Zeng Qiang frowned slightly, lost in thought. He began to reassess the current situation and the information provided by Wang Hai, thinking about what to do next.
At this moment, Liu Feng couldn't control his emotions anymore. He said doubtfully, "Brother Wang, is what you said true?"
Wang Hai nodded and said, "It's true. In fact, I also want to help Xiaolan find her biological parents. This is also what my father asked before he died. Since Comrade Zeng found me, I also think this is an opportunity."
Zeng Qiang pondered this: "So many years have passed, and he's searched almost every corner of the country, but only the information and details shared by this man named Wang Hai are highly consistent with the daughter he had no choice but to send away."
Zeng Qiang then began to talk about a past event, telling the whole story of how he had sent his daughter away.
When Wang Hai heard this, he found that a lot of the information was consistent with what his father had said.
I thought to myself, "Could this Comrade Zeng be my biological father? After careful observation, I've discovered that some of my sister's expressions do bear some resemblance to his. If I really had to let my sister return to her biological father, I'd be really reluctant! After all, I've been taking care of her for so many years, and we've already built a deep bond."
Zeng Qiang also talked about a pair of jade pendants he left for the child. The jade pendants were left to her mother by the child's grandmother and were heirlooms.
Wang Hai nodded and said, "I do have this item, but it's not in my possession. My father gave it to my younger sister before he died. I wonder if it's the pair of jade pendants you mentioned?"
Liu Feng interrupted, saying, "Does that mean Xiao Lanzi already knows her identity?"
"Yes."
Liu Feng asked worriedly, "What's Xiaolanzi's reaction?"
"She couldn't accept it at first, but now she's come to her senses and isn't so sad anymore!"
After hearing what Wang Hai said, Liu Feng felt relieved.
Zeng Qiang added, "My daughter has a black mole behind her ear. Do you know about it?"
After saying that, he looked at Wang Hai nervously.
Wang Hai shook his head: "I don't know about this, and I haven't paid attention to it."
Liu Feng said, "Section Chief, if you want to confirm that Wang Xiaolan is your daughter, you can use your hair and Wang Xiaolan's hair, or take a blood sample. We can use DNA technology to confirm whether you are father and daughter."
Zeng Qiang asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Why haven't I heard of this? Is there such a technology?"
"Section Chief! I only learned about this after my trip to Country M. They actually used this advanced technology to successfully solve a case that had plagued them for years, and they solved the problem so easily with just this technology. If you're interested, I can definitely contact my colleagues there and ask for their help."
After listening to Liu Feng's words, Zeng Qiang remained silent for a long time and did not answer him.
Zeng Qiang saw that he had asked almost all the questions, so he stood up and was about to leave.
Wang Hai suddenly thought of something and said, "When I was very young, my mother told my father that my sister had a lucky mole behind her ear and that she would have a good life in the future. However, I didn't pay much attention to what my mother said, and I didn't verify whether my sister really had a mole behind her ear."
Liu Feng said with some worry, "If we suddenly go to check her ears, I wonder if it will offend Xiaolan."
Before the truth was revealed, Zeng Qiang was filled with anxiety and turmoil. He knew that if he didn't handle the matter carefully, he might repeat the mistakes he made during his previous investigation of the coral incident. That experience had left him with deep regret, and he absolutely did not want to let it happen again.
At the same time, he also had special feelings for Wang Xiaolan. Although they had some misunderstandings in Xiangshui Village before, he did not want to act rashly.
However, reality puts Zeng Qiang in a dilemma: on the one hand, he must find out the truth; on the other hand, he must protect Wang Xiaolan and prevent her from suffering unnecessary harm.
At this moment, Wang Hai said, "How about this! I'll take some time to talk to my brother-in-law Zhao Lihan. Maybe he knows this detail."
When Zeng Qiang heard that this was a good idea, he nodded in agreement.
"Comrade Wang Hai, thank you for your help."
"This is what I should do. It can be considered as fulfilling my father's last wish!"
Hospital.
Wang Xiaolan followed the nurse to the intensive care unit nervously, and her heart beat faster involuntarily.
Through the small window on the ward door, she saw several doctors in white coats busying around inside, and various medical equipment flashing tense lights.
Suddenly, a sharp and piercing alarm sounded from the monitor! This sound was like a sharp sword that cut through the originally quiet air of the ward, making everyone's heart suddenly tighten.
