Old Zhang and Grandma Sui looked at Zhang Wenyu nervously and expectantly.
Zhang Wenyu couldn't bear to keep the two elderly people waiting for a long time, so she quickly took out her cell phone and found the photos Xiaowu had sent her before.
"It's him! It's him! Great! It turns out this child is still alive. He's still alive."
As soon as Zhang Wenyu found the photo, Mr. Zhang and Grandma Sui recognized it.
Zhang Wenyu handed the phone to the two elderly people.
Grandma Sui's hands were shaking as she took the phone. She looked carefully at the photo that had been well preserved for fifty years, and suddenly tears came to her eyes as she looked at it.
Zhang Wenyu was startled when she saw this and quickly took out a few tissues and handed them over.
"Grandma Sui, don't be sad. This uncle is really living a good life now. He has a happy family and is very happy. His eldest daughter is a teacher, and his youngest son is a big star. No matter what, it's a good thing that he has been found. We should be happy."
Grandma Sui was relieved when she heard Zhang Wenyu say that he was doing well. She wiped her eyes and smiled.
"Yes, I should be happy. This is a big happy event, I should be happy, I can't cry."
Although Grandpa Zhang didn't show his emotions as much as Grandma Sui, he was also a little dazed when looking at the photos.
"It's great that we can find this child again. We still have a son and a daughter, and they live a happy life. We can finally put our worries to rest."
Mr. Zhang sighed for a while and then spoke to Grandma Sui.
"Now that we've found him, we have to bring him back. We have to let him know where his home is."
Grandma Sui also nodded in agreement with Mr. Zhang's opinion, and then remembered that they didn't have each other's contact information, so she quickly looked at Zhang Wenyu, wanting her to help contact the other party.
Zhang Wenyu understood what Grandma Sui and Mr. Zhang meant without them having to explain. He quickly picked up his phone and contacted Xiaowu, asking him to bring someone to City B.
Xiaowu's family lives in the south, so it would take time for his family to come over. Fortunately, Xiaowu is currently in City B. Thinking of Grandma Sui and Old Zhang's anxious mood, they asked Xiaowu to come to the Sui family first.
When Grandma Sui and Mr. Zhang heard that Xiaowu would come first, they quickly asked people to prepare things to entertain him.
Seeing this, Zhang Wenyu also began to feel curious about the true identity of Xiaowu's father.
She suddenly remembered that Sui Min had once jokingly told her that she suspected that Mr. Zhang’s youngest son might still be alive.
Looking at Grandma Sui and Old Zhang who were so excited that they were at a loss, Zhang Wenyu suddenly had a bold guess.
Could Xiaowu's father be Mr. Zhang's youngest son?!
Grandma Sui and Mr. Zhang were preparing things while sighing.
"The child is still alive, married, and now has two children. Now that we've found him, we can finally give him an explanation. From now on, we'll let him and his family live in City B. With us taking care of them, no one will dare bully them."
"Yes, their family finally has an heir. When we get to City B, let's go burn some incense for them so they don't have to worry anymore."
Grandma Sui and Mr. Zhang each spoke a few words, arranging future matters.
Zhang Wenyu, who was listening, became more and more confused.
Burn incense?
Who should I burn incense for?
Could it be that I guessed wrong, and Xiaowu’s father is not Mr. Zhang’s youngest son?
Who could that be?
I’ve never heard of anyone in City B losing a child!
Most of Zhang Wenyu's understanding of these families in City B came from her investigation over the past six months. Some of the secrets that could not be uncovered were told to her by Sui Min and others.
From the looks on Grandma Sui and Old Man Zhang’s faces, one can tell that Xiaowu’s father has a close relationship with both of their families.
But whether it was from the information he had investigated or from his friends in City B, he had never heard of anyone losing a child. It was obvious that these young people didn't know about this matter either.
It is very likely that they were suppressed by someone, just like the Yu family that could not be found.
Zhang Wenyu took advantage of the fact that Grandma Sui and Mr. Zhang were interested and asked them about it.
Grandma Sui and Mr. Zhang had no intention of hiding the truth from Zhang Wenyu and revealed each other's identities to Zhang Wenyu.
"Your friend's father is a good friend of your grandmother Sui and me. His mother is from the United States and was a classmate of his father, so he is of mixed American and Chinese descent. We have been looking for him since he disappeared."
While waiting for Xiaowu to come, Grandma Sui and Old Zhang talked to Zhang Wenyu about an old story.
"You're still young, so you might not have heard of the kidnapping case from fifty years ago. Your friend's father was abducted by this gang, and our friend also had an accident shortly after the child disappeared. Although the traffickers were eventually apprehended, the child was never found."
"The traffickers said they had lost the child because he was crying so hard, but we searched the route they had taken and couldn't find any trace of him. We later began to suspect the traffickers had deceived us and that the child was gone. Over the years, we had given up hope that we would ever find him again."
After hearing the news, Xiaowu rushed all the way to the Sui family. When he arrived at the Sui family, he was shocked by the identities of Grandma Sui and Mr. Zhang.
He really didn't expect that his grandparents had such a great background and actually knew the two elderly people in front of him.
Zhang Wenyu saw that they had something to say, so he suggested going to play with Sui Min and gave them the space.
Sui Min was so shocked by the news that her mouth opened wide.
"I knew those two grandparents. My grandmother took us to burn incense and kowtow to them every year. However, they passed away together not long after they got married. I had never heard that they had a child before."
Zhang Wenyu lay on the other side of the sofa bed, touched his nose and said.
"At first I thought he was Grandpa Zhang's son. Luckily I didn't ask directly, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing."
Sui Min chuckled.
"Isn't the other person a mixed-blood? How could you think it was Mr. Zhang's child? Your imagination is too wild! Mr. and Mrs. Zhang are both Chinese, there's no way they could have a mixed-blood child!"
Zhang Wenyu defended herself.
"I just thought about the fact that Mr. Zhang's child died fifty years ago, and the timing just matched. Seeing how excited they were, I forgot about it. Who would have thought that a child was lost fifty years ago?"
Hearing this, Sui Min crawled over thoughtfully and leaned over to ask Zhang Wenyu in his ear.
"Since you suspect that the other person is Mr. Zhang's son, you must also think that Mr. Zhang's son might still be alive, right?"
After asking, he rolled back without waiting for Zhang Wenyu to answer, lay on the sofa bed, looked at the ceiling and said.
"Anyway, I think what happened back then is very strange. Although there are rumors that Mr. Zhang's son was murdered, as far as I know, the child's body was not found at the crime scene. I was not sure before because I didn't see Mr. Zhang send anyone to look for him, but this uncle's incident is enough to prove that Mr. Zhang and his men have actually been secretly searching, but we just didn't know. And I suspect there is some connection between these two things. After all, one child was kidnapped, and not long after that, another child was in trouble. This is too coincidental!"
