Chapter 164: Contemporary Chen Shimei
Qi Chong said as he handed over Guangyao's eight characters.
Shen Wan glanced at the eight characters and said, "The owner of these eight characters has indeed died decades ago."
The old lady burst into tears when she heard this: "Guangyao is not dead... He promised to come back to pick me up... He is not dead."
Qi Chong said helplessly: "Old lady, you really have to prepare for the worst. We in the Ninth Bureau have checked for you. He really died a long time ago."
"If you ask Master Shen for help now, the most he can do is help you find Guangyao's reincarnation and take you to see the reincarnation. Then you can fulfill your wish."
The old lady shook her head, her cloudy eyes red and filled with tears.
"Guangyao won't die... He will take me away..."
Looking at the old lady mumbling to herself in sorrow, Shen Wan wrote the eight characters on yellow talisman paper and began to summon the spirit.
As a result, nothing was gained.
Qi Chong spread his hands and said, "See, I said that I couldn't summon souls, which means that this Guangyao may have been reincarnated."
"Master Shen, can you track down where the reincarnation is now?"
Shen Wan's expression was a little strange.
Qi Chong saw it and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The characters are dead, but the person is still alive."
As soon as Shen Wan finished speaking, the old lady couldn't control her tears, "Guangyao is not dead, he is really not dead!"
Qi Chong was dumbfounded: "Still alive? But the owner of the eight characters is clearly dead."
"If he is still alive, the Ninth Bureau will be able to find this person."
"I can't find the person, and I can't summon the soul. Master Shen, what is going on?"
Shen Wan counted with his fingers and said calmly: "There is only one possibility in this situation."
"What?"
"Guangyao replaced someone else's fate, and someone else died in his place."
Qi Chong's expression changed: "You mean... the real Guangyao changed his name and became another person?"
"Where is the real Guangyao now?"
Shen Wan could only roughly calculate a direction: "Central and eastern part."
Qi Chong frowned: "There are many cities in the central and eastern parts of the country. One city has 20 to 30 million people. Where can we start looking for people?"
Shen Wan suggested: "Is there any information about Guangyao's parents?"
Qi Chong quickly took out the information on his phone and showed it to her. "Yes, there is information, but it's all from decades ago, so the information is incomplete."
"After Guangyao disappeared, the old lady took care of her disabled parents-in-law alone until they passed away. She waited for them all her life and never got married."
Shen Wan's eyes lit up, and he asked the old lady, "Grandma, have you ever been married to Guangyao?"
The old lady nodded and shook her head: "Guangyao and I got married in front of our parents, and everyone in our village came to the banquet..."
Qi Chong explained: "The old lady only prayed to heaven and earth at that time, unlike us now, we have a marriage certificate to prove it."
"Praying to heaven and earth, and to one's parents, during a wedding is equivalent to expressing a promise to heaven and earth. Even if he doesn't acknowledge it, heaven and earth will."
Chen Wan suddenly stood up and threw out several yellow talismans.
The talisman paper lingered around the old lady's body, quickly lifting her entire spirit into the air and flying around her.
Chen Wan shouted softly: "The spiritual source of heaven and earth, the bond of marriage, what she wants in her heart, I will find its source."
"Where is her husband, please guide him quickly—"
With her command, the talisman paper instantly shattered and turned into flames.
The flames actually formed a line of words in the air.
——Chen Hongyang, now 75 years old, is from the imperial capital.
Qi Chong was so shocked that his mouth opened wide. "Chen Hongyang? Could it be the old Chen I know?"
There was no need for Qi Chong to explain, Shen Wan also knew this person.
Chen Hongyang is a well-known cultural relic restorer in the imperial capital's antique circle.
Mr. Li had a lot of dealings with Chen Hongyang because of antiques.
Shen Wan searched for Chen Hongyang's photo on his phone and showed it to the old lady.
Although several decades had passed, the old lady recognized at a glance that the white-haired old man in the photo was her husband, Wang Guangyao.
"It's Guangyao, it's him!"
The old lady burst into tears.
Qi Chong had a strange expression on his face: "If it is really Mr. Chen, then the old lady has waited in vain all her life..."
"As far as I know, Mr. Chen already has many children and grandchildren."
But the old lady never married.
When the old lady heard that her husband already had many children and grandchildren, she refused to believe it.
"He said he would come back to pick me up. I don't believe he would abandon me."
Shen Wan thought for a moment and said, “Captain Qi, you comfort the old lady first. I’ll go next door to ask about the situation and see.”
Uncle Li has followed Grandpa Li for many years, so he must know a lot about Chen Hongyang.
Shen Wan came next door and rang the doorbell.
Surprisingly, the person who opened the door for her was Li Hanting.
When Li Hanting saw that it was her, a hint of surprise flashed across his handsome face.
“Miss Shen is looking for me?”
"no."
When he heard her refusal, a hint of disappointment flashed across Li Hanting's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
He smiled slightly: "Uncle Li is weeding in the backyard, come in."
Shen Wan said politely: "Thank you."
Li Hanting seemed to have gotten used to her deliberate distance and didn't say anything.
After entering his garden, Li Hanting went to call Uncle Li.
Shen Wan glanced under the umbrella. There was a tablet and coffee on the table. It was obvious that Li Hanting was just handling company affairs.
"Master Shen, do you want to talk to me about something?" Uncle Li walked over and asked with a silly smile, still holding a handful of grass in his hand.
Li Hanting sat down, picked up the tablet, and looked like he was working seriously.
Chen Wan asked straight to the point: "Uncle Li, do you know much about Chen Hongyang? Can you tell me some news about him?"
Uncle Li thought for a moment and said, "Chen Hongyang? Are you talking about Mr. Chen who repairs antiques and cultural relics?"
"Yes, that's him."
"What do you want to know about him?"
"His personal deeds and marital status are all fine."
Uncle Li said as he took off his gloves, "When the old man hired someone to repair antiques at home, he checked Mr. Chen's background. He turned out to be a gentleman. I heard that when he was young, he came out of the mountains to make a living. He encountered an accident and was taken in as an apprentice by his master, a big boss in the imperial capital's antique circle who has passed away."
"The master saw that he had no father or mother, so he adopted him as his son and taught him everything he had learned throughout his life."
"Chen Hongyang is also a talented person. He quickly established himself in the antique circle of the imperial capital with his excellent craftsmanship."
"He married his master's daughter and had three sons and one daughter. Now he has many children and grandchildren and lives a happy life."
"Master Shen, why are you asking these questions? Do you have any antiques or cultural relics that you want Mr. Chen to repair?"
"Do you need me to help you contact him?"
Uncle Li asked enthusiastically.
Chen Wan smiled slightly: "I see, thank you Uncle Li, wait for my call, I guess I need to meet this Chen Shimei."
"Hahaha, okay. I'll wait for your call anytime." Uncle Li reacted after he finished laughing.
Um?
Chen Shimei?
His name is Chen Hongyang.
Before leaving, Shen Wan glanced at Li Hanting who was working hard and reminded him seriously.
"You held the tablet upside down."
