"Okay, could you please arrange a meeting with them for me as soon as possible?"
Liu Zi knew that what she was investigating was not simple, and she was willing to spend the money as long as they could get it done.
"Girl!" Song Yan said instinctively.
"Sister Yan, my situation is very complicated and I need help from professionals with special connections." It wasn't that Liu Zi was unwilling to tell her, but the fewer people who knew, the less danger her eldest daughter would face.
She could earn more money, but she couldn't rest easy until her daughter returned to her side.
Song Yan looked at her and nodded with a complicated expression.
"Then I'll make the call now." Shi Jianjun sensed the urgency in Liu Zi's tone, and without delay, picked up the phone on the bar and dialed.
Liu Zi stared at him nervously, hoping that he would accept her order.
Five minutes later, Shi Jianjun hung up the phone.
"Don't go out today. I arranged to meet him this afternoon. When he arrives, I'll have someone go and call you."
"Thank you, Brother Shi," Liu Zi said excitedly.
"Yan Mei considers you a friend. She's kind-hearted and wants to help you, so I can't just stand by and do nothing." Shi Jianjun made it very clear that he was helping Liu Zi because of Song Yan.
"Thank you, Sister Yan." Liu Zi was glad that she hadn't been stubborn back then and had decided to move to Songzhuang and seek refuge with Song Yan immediately.
Afterwards, Liu Zi patiently went back to wait for news. The following days felt like years to her. Whenever there was any disturbance at the gate, she would rush to check, afraid of missing anything.
At 3 p.m., the door finally rang.
"Hey girl, the person's here. I've come to pick you up." Song Yan knew she was anxious, so she rode her scooter over to pick her up.
This time, Liu Zi didn't stand on ceremony. She went back inside, picked up her sleeping daughter, and took a car to the store.
Upon meeting, Shi Jianjun introduced the two parties. The newcomer was named Lin Yizhou. He looked young, only in his twenties, and was dressed in a black tracksuit, looking like a college student.
Liu Zi began to doubt Shi Jianjun's introduction for the first time. Was he capable?
If Lin Yizhou knew what Liu Zi was thinking, he would definitely be so angry he'd vomit blood, and then solemnly tell her that a man can't say no.
Even though he didn't know what Liu Zi was thinking, Lin Yizhou could still tell from her facial expression that she didn't trust him.
Lin Yizhou wasn't angry. He had seen many customers like this before, and clearing up misunderstandings was part of his job.
"Ms. Liu, let's find somewhere to talk!"
Lin Yizhou understood this very well: to do business, you need to know how to attract customers.
"There's no one in room 102. Why don't you go inside and chat?" Song Yan pointed in the direction.
Shi Jianjun sighed, wondering how his wife could be so confused sometimes.
It would be bad for a man and a woman to be seen together in a hotel room if others saw it.
However, influenced by later generations, Liu Zi did not care much about this. After thanking Song Yan and his wife, she took her daughter and went inside first.
Lin Yizhou had seen it all in this line of work, so he followed along without hesitation, and even made sure to close the door behind him.
Shi Jianjun touched his nose, realizing that he was the only one overthinking things. Since the parties involved didn't care, what else could others say?
Liu Zi put her daughter on the bed and gently patted her to comfort her.
Lin Yizhou then sat down on the sofa by the window.
"Ms. Liu, may we discuss the matter you wish to entrust to us?"
"Mr. Lin, could you help me hire a lawyer?" Liu Zi asked a question before answering him.
Lin Yizhou sat up straight, not understanding what this woman meant.
"I want a divorce, and I need Mr. Lin and his lawyer's cooperation. Of course, if Mr. Lin can help me get a divorce smoothly, I can pay Mr. Lin the lawyer's fees." Liu Zi has more important things to do now, so she is not very concerned about catching her husband cheating.
Lin Yizhou was really interested this time. He thought he was going to take those white photos again, but he didn't expect it to be something different this time.
"You didn't want to catch them cheating?"
"I just want a divorce!"
There's no rush to settle scores with that family; her main concern is her biological daughter.
"Okay, I understand. Now tell me your specific situation!" Lin Yizhou took out a small notebook, ready to record the relevant key points.
"There's one more thing I need to trouble Mr. Lin with," Liu Zi said after taking a breath.
"Mr. Lin, can you arrange a paternity test?"
"Paternity test?" This kind of medical test was still very rare in 1998, and Lin Yizhou had only heard of it.
"Well, I want to confirm a few things," Liu Zi said through gritted teeth, enunciating each word clearly.
"What is it?" Lin Yizhou glanced at the sleeping child on the bed before asking.
"I want to know whose son he is, and where my own child is."
"A switcheroo?" Lin Yizhou said in surprise.
"My family doesn't have a throne, but I'm certain that the son under my name is an imposter. They're probably trying to take advantage of my family's poverty." Liu Zi curled her lip.
"As for where my biological daughter is, I need Mr. Lin to help me find out."
Liu Zi felt utterly disgusted at the thought of having betrayed her for so many years.
She doesn't believe any child is innocent. Zhao Gang was a bad seed; in his past life, he indulged in all sorts of vices.
Even though he is still just a child, some people's very existence is a sin. If Zhao Gang has anyone to blame, he should blame his biological parents.
"Yes, if you get the paternity test results, your divorce proceedings will be much easier. However, most of the equipment for this in China is currently in research institutes, making it inconvenient to conduct tests for private individuals. If you're willing to pay, I can send someone to Hong Kong to deliver the samples. They're very fast there as long as you pay," Lin Yizhou explained his idea.
"No problem, but I don't have a sample, I need your help." When Liu Zi left home, she didn't know that the adopted son wasn't her own.
"I'll figure something out." Lin Yizhou nodded.
Do you have any clue who the child's biological mother is?
"Su Yao works at the M Shopping Mall in Beijing. Her parents are from Shunyi District. I'm certain she has an improper relationship with Zhao Qian," Liu Zi told Lin Yizhou about Su Yao's situation.
"Is your spouse's name Zhao Qian?"
"Mmm!" Liu Zi nodded, forcing herself to suppress her nausea.
"And what about your adopted son?" Lin Yizhou felt that Liu Zi's choice of words was very apt.
"Zhao Gang is 6 years old and attends the senior class at Langxing Kindergarten."
Lin Yizhou merely raised an eyebrow without saying anything.
I heard that Langxing Kindergarten is known as a private aristocratic kindergarten, with tuition fees of several thousand yuan a year.
"Where did you give birth to your eldest daughter? How do you know you had a daughter and not a son? Do you have any clues about the child?" Lin Yizhou asked three questions in quick succession.
Liu Zi took a breath and then said, "I gave birth to my child at Kangmei Maternity Hospital in Beijing. The Zhao family said they have acquaintances there who can help take care of things. The specific date was March 4th, 1992, which was the first day of the second lunar month."
