Upon hearing this, Chen Ke tightened her grip on the lace handkerchief covering the sofa armrest.
The handkerchief, which had been laid out meticulously, was slightly wrinkled from her gripping.
A look of disbelief flashed across his face.
"You mean, the most capable deputy battalion commander under your command is Lao Si's son?"
"Does her wife look exactly like me when I was young?"
Lin Kailai closed his eyes, turned down the corners of his mouth, pursed his lips, and nodded with a serious expression.
"Yes, I just found out too. I just happened to see the marriage application that this guy submitted."
It was only then that I learned he was actually my fourth brother's son.
I realized I haven't been back to see it for so many years, I had to go back and visit.
Unexpectedly, his wife, Su Ruobai, looks exactly like you.
If there's anything that's different, it's that the child's temperament is a bit different from yours.
She appears obedient and cute on the surface, but is actually quite cold-hearted at heart.
Chen Kezai recalled for a long time, then shook his head, his eyes filled with sadness: "Maybe it's just that people are similar. In this world, I have no relatives left."
Undeterred, Lin Kailai anxiously asked, "What about the younger generation? I know you only have one son, sister. Is it possible that my nephew is out there...?"
Chen Ke's expression changed instantly: "Impossible! I can guarantee Lin'er's character. If he did such a thing, I'll break his legs!"
Lin Kailai stopped talking and calmed down for a while.
Finally, he pulled a photo out of his shirt pocket.
This is a black and white photograph, a wedding photo of Xiao Yichen and Su Ruobai.
Lin Kailai handed the photo to Chen Ke: "Sister, take a look. It's not that I doubt my nephew's character, but the resemblance is just too striking!"
Chen Ke took the photo and was immediately drawn to it.
It's so similar, it's like she is herself!
Looking at this photo, she even felt as if she had traveled back forty years.
It feels like a lifetime ago.
This child, this child, they look so alike, could it be?
No, no, she had to believe in her child.
Chen Ke calmed himself down, adjusted his glasses, and said to Lin Kai, "Tell me the specifics of this child's situation!"
Lin Kailai sat up straight and answered earnestly, as if giving a report: "Su Ruobai is from Shanghai. Her father, Su Laicai, was a retired soldier who was disabled and passed away in June."
Su Ruobai's mother, Zheng Yu, divorced her father before Su Ruobai was born; however, the two were never legally married.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ke's gaze flickered.
"Su Ruobai was actually adopted. According to the investigation, Su Laicai and Zheng Yu had been married for many years but had no children. The specific reason is unknown."
Later, when Su Laicai became disabled and had to retire from the army to go home, a distant cousin of his sent him this child.
She said she was pregnant out of wedlock and simply couldn't afford to raise the child.
Su Laicai originally didn't plan to have a child, feeling that he, as a single man, couldn't raise one, so he refused.
Later, he heard that his cousin was going to sell the child to someone as a child bride, so he went to pay for the child's nutrition and got the child back.
Her cousin was giving birth on the side of the road when a couple of People's Liberation Army soldiers took her to the hospital. At the same time, the couple was also giving birth.
The two women gave birth at the same time, one a boy and the other a girl. But, sister, the name registered for the couple is my nephew's name, Fifth Lin.
I know my nephew and his wife had a boy. I was wondering if it was possible that this person was also my nephew's, and he saw him on the street and got excited.
That's why I asked if it was possible that my eldest nephew was outside.
Chen Ke's face was grim, and his tone was icy: "Is everything you're saying true?"
When Lin Kailai saw Chen Ke like this, he was reminded of how she had beaten him up when he first joined the army.
I shuddered.
He stood up straight and said, "It's absolutely true. I've found the person who delivered the baby at the hospital. Su Ruobai's birthday is June 16, 1956, which is a public date. There are admission records for my nephew and his wife on that day."
Chen Ke continued to chew slowly in her mouth: "June 16th?"
"Yes, I checked. On that day, my niece-in-law gave birth to a boy. Is it possible that Su Laicai's cousin's child is also my nephew's, but it was a girl?"
"Sister, these are all the documents from back then. Look, it really is you, sister! This child looks just like you!"
Chen Ke took a stack of documents.
I looked at it carefully, again and again.
The more he looked, the more obvious the sinister look in his eyes became.
Lin Kailai continued to tremble when he saw Chen Ke's appearance.
Xu Fenfang either drinks water or looks at tea, never making a sound.
After a long while, Chen Ke finally finished reading.
"So, you investigated me?"
Lin Kailai smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "I... I was just worried that if it really was my sister's junior, I'd have to go back to her, wouldn't I!"
"How did that child fare afterward?"
"After being adopted by Su Laicai, I lived a good life."
After retiring from the army, Su Laicai went to work in a machinery factory. The income was good, but he was afraid that his child would suffer under his stepmother, so he did not remarry. The two of them actually owned their own house.
Unfortunately, Su Laicai passed away not long ago.
His mother's family wanted to take over Xiaobai's job, making her go to the countryside to work for someone else. They even found a mentally challenged person in the countryside, intending to sell her for a dowry.
Later, Xiaobai sold his house and job, and somehow managed to empty both his own home and Lao Su's home.
They even sent her two cousins to the countryside. Oh, and sis, that Xiao Bai is incredibly strong; he can break red bricks with his bare hands.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ke's smile widened slightly: "Oh, really? I understand!"
The two left after midnight.
As the two drove away, Chen Ke called out to the outside, "Xiao Zhang, come in!"
The young man who had led Lin Kailai and the other man in quickly stepped inside and stood at attention: "Boss, I'm here."
Chen Ke handed the information Lin Kailai had given her to Xiao Zhang, her tone suppressed and angry: "Go, investigate for me, investigate carefully, and see what exactly happened."
Also, call Fifth Lin and Zhao Yulan and tell them to get over here as fast as they can!
Xiao Zhang's heart tightened, but his expression remained unchanged: "Yes, sir."
After taking the things and leaving the room, I went to make a phone call.
Chen Ke sat on the sofa, carefully examining the wedding photo. No matter how she looked at it, it looked incredibly realistic.
As a certain possibility came to mind, a fierce glint flashed in Chen Ke's eyes.
Despite being subjected to various investigations, Su Ruobai remained completely unaware and was currently vomiting uncontrollably.
It's like he vomits up whatever he eats.
I can't even drink water.
This made Xiao Yichen extremely anxious.
Seeing that Su Ruobai had lost a lot of weight, Xiao Yichen gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and finally said, "Wife, how about we don't keep this child?"
