Su Ruyi thought about it carefully for a while.
To be honest, the chances of finding people who went missing during wartime, given the bizarre reasons for their disappearance and the passage of so many years, are extremely slim.
Su Ruyi waved her hand, about to say a few words of comfort to Ai Wenxing, when suddenly she felt something fall out of her pocket and roll onto Ai Wenxing's carpet as she waved her hand.
It's her thumb ring!
It was the thumb ring that Chef Wang Changping from Sanhe County had given to her, and that Fang Tao had stolen a few days ago!
Because Fang Tao had stolen this item once, Su Ruyi was not comfortable keeping it in her spatial storage, so she kept it close to her body.
When he was taken to the police station, they searched him and found the items, which were then confiscated.
When she was released, she returned her personal belongings and then gave it back.
Su Ruyi couldn't put it in her underwear at the time because Qi Yasheng was waiting for her.
She put it in her pocket and even buttoned it up.
How did this thing jump out on its own?
At this moment, Su Ruyi looked at Ai Wenxing again and saw that his eyes were wide open and his lips were trembling violently: "This, this is... is that thumb ring? Ah... this is that thumb ring!"
After saying that, he looked at Su Ruyi again and took several steps back: "You, you are her!"
Seeing that his expression was strange, Su Ru quickly took out the gold needle again and inserted it into an acupoint on his forehead to calm him down: "Old Ai, Old Ai, wake up!"
After the injection, Ai Wenxing felt reassured and quickly calmed down, but the shocked expression remained on his face for a long time.
Ai Wenxing stared at Su Ruyi for a full ten minutes.
Su Ruyi looked at him with the calmest gaze possible, trying to comfort him.
Finally, Aivenxing managed to utter a sentence: "You and she look... exactly alike."
"Her? Who?"
“That girl! The girl who asked my father to take her home! The girl who gave me the thumb ring! However, although you look exactly alike, your expressions are too different, and your accents are different too. So... I couldn't tell you apart at first.”
As he spoke, he stood up, staggered, bent down, picked up the ring, and examined it closely: "This ring...this ring is warm too! It's the same one! Just like this pattern! Just like this color! Just like this smooth, fleshy texture! This...Dr. Su, Dr. Su, please tell me—what happened to my father? Where did he go? You must know, right?"
Su Ruyi's shock at this moment was almost no less than that of Ai Wenxing.
The ring popped out on its own—so clearly, what Evan Star was talking about was its story.
Su Ruyi still remembers that when she first saw this ring at Wang Changping's house, her consciousness was involuntarily drawn to it.
What kind of story do I have with this ring?
Why would Aivenxing say that she looks exactly like the girl with the thumb ring?
Su Ruyi was completely unable to explain these questions.
Ai Wenxing asked again, "My father, my father... what happened to him? Little Divine Doctor, tell me the truth, I can accept it. You must be that girl's descendant, right? You must know the truth..."
Su Ruyi didn't know how to answer.
If she answers truthfully, she will implicate Wang Changping.
Su Ruyi knew that Wang Changping had intricate connections with the black market in Sanhe County, and that the ring's origins might not be legitimate, so she couldn't say anything.
But how could she explain it in a way that would both keep the ring, clear her name, and comfort the poor old man?
In a flash, she suddenly thought of Lan Yu!
It was almost a flash of inspiration... Lan Yu said that he had found an object that was extremely important to Su Ruyi, and that was this thumb ring.
Then she can also use this excuse!
So she said to Ai Wenxing, "I just summoned this ring of yours using my method based on what you said. Old Ai, I have no connection with this ring or that girl. The reason you think we look alike is probably just a psychological suggestion after seeing this ring."
"No, I remember it very clearly! I've never seen such a beautiful girl in my life! No wonder I felt so close to you when I first met you! Your features are exactly the same as hers. It's just... it's just that the girl was more gentle and delicate. And your eyes... Little Divine Doctor, don't be angry—your eyes are filled with murderous intent."
Ai Wenxing's summary is quite insightful.
Su Ruyi sighed, "Old Ai, I'm really afraid I'll disappoint you. This ring of mine was just found recently, and I'll have to change it back in a few days."
"If you can find this ring, you can definitely find news about my father too!"
Su Ruyi was about to refuse, but seeing Ai Wenxing's longing expression, she softened.
She thought of Lan Yu again.
Perhaps we should really ask Lan Yu about this mysterious matter; maybe he'll have a solution!
Thinking this, she said again, "How about I take this ring and examine it first?"
"Alright, alright, it'll be fine." Ai Wenxing said, taking out a clean handkerchief from his body, wrapping the ring tightly, and solemnly handing it to Su Ruyi. "Little Divine Doctor, all my hopes in this life rest on you!"
Su Ruyi felt as if the ring weighed a ton, and it was even burning hot to the touch after she took it.
She didn't dare to speak definitively: "I'm just doing some research! Whether there will be any news, or what kind of news I can get, is still uncertain. Mr. Ai, I advise you not to have too high hopes."
Aiven Star nodded and said:
"Of course! I'm 63 years old!"
If my father were still alive... of course, that's... something that could never happen...
But I really want to know what happened after he took the girl home.
I think about this whenever I have free time in my life.
When I travel to different places on business, I also investigate this matter incidentally.
However, they never got any clues.
Little miracle doctor, your arrival has brought me back to this thumb ring!
I believe you will be the one to solve this problem!
Su Ruyi was very nervous when she said goodbye to Ai Wenxing.
She said to Qi Yasheng, "This is very strange. I want to ask Lan Yu about it."
Qi Yasheng shook her head and said, "More than ten years ago, Elder Ai asked Lan Yu about it, and he also asked about Lan Yu's master. At that time, his master was still alive!"
Su Ruyi shook her head: "No, this time is different! I'll take the ring and ask. I believe there should be an answer."
"Alright then, I'll take you there. When do you want to go?" Qi Yasheng seemed easily persuaded.
