“Dad, what I said was just a guess. You don’t need to overthink it. If my guess is true, the truth will come out eventually. Also, I still have some memory of what Chen Yue looked like when she was little. I will pay more attention to her when I’m out and about. Maybe fate will bring her to us.”
Chen Dongsheng comforted Chen Changqing. At this moment, he both hoped that his guess was true and that he was overthinking things because of Zhang Hua. After all, if it was true, it would mean that his whole family had been deceived by Zhang Hua, who treated other people's children as treasures while his own blood relatives had been separated from their families since childhood.
Conversely, as his father said, Chen Shu has no relation to the Chen family anymore. At worst, he can just pretend he didn't see her and treat this unpleasant sister as a stranger.

To investigate Cui Hongxia's crime, the town police station, based on the information provided by Song Lan, contacted the relevant police station in Beijing, which was the one closest to the main factory. The police station in Beijing then arranged for its officers to go to the main factory to find out more.
This inadvertently provided the relevant departments with an opportunity to investigate the crimes committed by Deputy Factory Director Qian. As a result, within two days of Cui Hongxia being detained by the town police station, the relevant departments thoroughly investigated everything that Deputy Factory Director Qian had done.
Then Deputy Factory Director Qian was sent to a farm in the Gobi Desert to make his mark.
Cui Hongxia was sent there on the same day.
Wang Deshun, the director of the branch factory's staff hospital, has been extremely uneasy these past two days because he had received prior information from the main factory in Beijing that Deputy Director Qian had been suspended from his duties and was under investigation.
If you haven't done anything wrong, you naturally have nothing to fear. But the problem is that Wang Deshun, the director of the branch factory's employee hospital, knows very well that he helped Deputy Director Qian make mistakes, and as the director, he has not been clean for many years.
Once Deputy Factory Director Qian confesses, he will definitely be investigated as well.
Liu Dacheng, the head of the security department, shared the same unease as Dean Wang.
Ever since Song Lan almost got into trouble that night, and the matter was brought to the police station, Liu Dacheng had a vague feeling that he was going to be in trouble. As a result, he had been restless for the past day or two, fearing that his superiors would call him away from the security department.
But some things can't be avoided by being afraid. This morning at work, not only was Director Wang of the staff hospital suspended, but Director Liu of the security department was also called in for questioning by the leaders.
Almost before noon, word spread throughout the factory that Director Wang had committed a crime and would be sent to the forest farm for reform that afternoon.
Liu Dacheng was demoted as a punishment.
Although it's called a demotion, from now on, this former head of the security department will become a marginal figure in the factory, and he will probably never have the chance to be promoted again in his lifetime.
At the same time, Deputy Section Chief Fang was promoted to Section Chief.
"Xiao Song, Section Chief Fang is looking for you."
With less than three minutes left before lunch break, Song Lan had just returned to her office after completing her last patrol of the day when she heard Wang Qiuping's words. She paused, then asked, "Section Chief Fang? Where is he?"
Is it true that Deputy Section Chief Fang has been promoted to a full section chief?
Not seeing Deputy Section Chief Fang in the main office, Song Lan had a guess in her mind: could it be that the current Section Chief Fang has moved into the former section chief's office?
"Half an hour ago, our Deputy Section Chief Fang was notified of his promotion, and he's in his office right now."
Wang Qiuping's face was beaming with joy, showing that she was happy to see Deputy Section Chief Fang become Section Chief.
After all, Section Chief Liu held considerable authority in the security department, which meant he was not very popular.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Song Lan responded, and then she turned and walked out of the large office.
Knock knock knock!
She knocked on the door of the section chief's office with her fingers, and when she heard Fang Jianmin's familiar voice coming from inside, she pushed the door open and went in.
"Section Chief Fang, you wanted to see me?"
She looked up and saw Fang Jianmin sitting behind his desk, and immediately asked him a question.
"Okay, sit down and talk."
Fang Jianmin nodded and pointed to the chair opposite his desk.
"Congratulations on Section Chief Fang's promotion!"
Sitting down in the chair, Song Lan smiled and offered her congratulations.
“No matter what position you hold, you are contributing to the factory and our country.” Fang Jianmin smiled and said, “I called you over because there’s something I want to tell you.”
"Please speak, I'm listening!"
Song Lan always had a smile on her face.
"Director Yu from the staff hospital called and asked me to tell you that you can go to work there this afternoon."
Seeing that Song Lan did not react, Fang Jianmin assumed that she was unaware that Dean Wang had been dismissed and that the new dean's surname was Yu. He explained, "Dean Wang will be sent to the forest farm this afternoon. The current dean was originally a deputy, but he was appointed as the dean of the staff hospital half an hour ago."
The new broom sweeps clean, and this time they used her case to set things right. They probably hadn't even warmed their chairs before calling the security department to have Section Chief Fang inform her to return to work at the hospital.
Composing herself, Song Lan said, "I think I'm doing quite well working in the security department!"
"Xiao Song, working in the security department is not suitable for you."
Fang Jianmin was actually reluctant to lose a capable subordinate like Song Lan, but he didn't want to, and couldn't, hold her back, because the work of the security department was really not suitable for female comrades.
Of course, this excludes clerical positions.
It wasn't that he looked down on female colleagues, but he felt that Song Lan, having graduated from a nursing school, deserved to be in the position most suitable for her.
"Section Chief Fang, I don't think so."
With a serious expression, Song Lan said, "Whether it's my education level or my skills, I believe I am capable of fulfilling the responsibilities of the security department."
"I didn't say you couldn't handle it, I just didn't want to hold you back!"
Fang Jianmin said earnestly, "You graduated from nursing school with excellent grades, and you have rich experience in nursing. Moreover, I once overheard Comrade Wang Qiuping mention that..."
"You said you plan to take the medical licensing exam, which shows you want to pursue a career in medicine. If that's the case, why are you wasting your time in the security department?"
"...I...I need to think about it."
After a moment's hesitation, Song Lan replied.
"What are you considering? Xiao Song, this is the leader's order."
Fang Jianmin emphasized his words.
"This afternoon, I'll give you an answer before I leave work this afternoon."
Standing up, Song Lan prepared to leave.
"Xiao Song, are you throwing a tantrum?"
Fang Jianmin had a serious face.
"I don't."
Song Lan denied it, saying, "My principle in doing things is to finish what I start. Even if I have to go to the staff hospital to work, I still have to finish the work I did in the security department today."
"you……"
Fang Jianmin looked utterly helpless: "What can I say to you?" He sighed, shook his head, and said, "Fine, give me a straight answer before you leave work this afternoon!"
Upon hearing this, Song Lan nodded.
"Alright, you can go back now!"
It was just past the end of the workday, so Fang Jianmin waved goodbye and didn't keep Song Lan any longer.
Turning around, Song Lan left.

After lunch, Qin Yanzheng sent Qin Boyan and Qin Yaxin back to their room with the two children. Wu Dong, without Qin Yanzheng having to say anything, said, "I'm going to read a book for a while." Only Qin Yanzheng and Song Lan remained in the living room. Qin Yanzheng asked, "Is something on your mind?"
