184 Ninth Base
◎Xiao Zhizhi, I am your father...◎
"What did you say?"
In the huge office, a voice so shocked that it made one lose composure suddenly rang out. Ye Lang stood up from behind his desk, leaning on the table to barely support himself and looked at the two people opposite him. His vicissitudes of life concealed the initial loss of composure in his eyes and became sharp.
The two men didn't take offense. The younger-looking man patiently repeated, "We've found someone who looks like your daughter who disappeared sixteen years ago. We hope you can cooperate with us in a DNA test. Because the circumstances are special, please keep it private for now."
This young man was Qin Fei's cousin Peng Wan. After receiving the news from Qin Fei, he wanted to find Ye Lang immediately. However, before he could get there, someone was sent from above to ask him to cooperate with the work.
At first, Peng Wan thought that what his cousin asked him to do involved some secret, but when he thought that his cousin would not harm him, he became calm.
Ye Lang was in a trance for a moment. If he had not received a call before, which allowed the two people to come to the office smoothly and show their ID first, he would have thought it was a new trick of a con man who was so bold as to cheat in front of him.
But he is someone from a certain department of the country, it is impossible for him to come and joke with him for no reason.
Ye Lang's emotions gradually calmed down. He sat back in his chair, his eyes showing the composure of someone who had been in a high position for a long time. "How can you be sure? Can I see that girl?" His hands were shaking slightly uncontrollably, showing that he was very uneasy inside.
The two exchanged glances. "Sorry, we're not entirely sure. Once the results are in, we'll arrange a meeting as appropriate."
This is a matter of discretion. Of course, if there is a real blood relationship, then you can meet directly. If not, there is no need to meet.
Seeing this, Peng Wan emphasized, "You want to find your daughter too, don't you?"
Because of this sentence, Ye Lang stopped asking questions and cooperated in providing samples. He didn't want to miss it even if it was only a one in a billion chance.
Ye Lang watched them carefully put away the samples. The authorities were so cautious, perhaps they already had a lot of evidence and now all they needed was final confirmation.
"Wait, I have a request. After the results come out, if she is really my...daughter, I request to meet her as soon as possible."
Peng Wan looked at the serious-looking middle-aged man, who replied, "Sure, we'll arrange it right away."
"Just before the results come out, please keep it confidential, Mr. Ye."
Ye Lang nodded, "I will, please do it as soon as possible."
The two left quickly and quietly.
Ye Lang sat there for a while. He slowly raised his hand and pressed down his heart which was still beating violently.
He felt it was unreal in a trance. He had dreamed of this countless nights, where someone suddenly appeared in front of him and told him that Xiao Zhizhi had been found.
Is his mental state so severe that he experiences hallucinations during the day? Or is he still dreaming and hasn't woken up yet?
Ye Lang, whose hair was already gray, childishly raised his hand and bit his palm hard. He bit so hard that the tooth marks were deep red and blood oozed out.
The intense pain was transmitted to the cerebral cortex, but Ye Lang seemed not to feel the pain. Instead, he grinned.
It’s not a dream!
Ye Lang suddenly stood up and walked back and forth.
Since the authorities have come to him, his little Zhizhi is indeed still alive and has been found!
Ye Lang rarely lost his composure. He hurriedly took out his cell phone and subconsciously wanted to call Jing Yao. However, before he dialed, he remembered that Jing Yao had already blocked all his contact information. Even though information technology is more developed and communication is more convenient now, he still couldn't get in touch. Jing Yao and the people around her refused to communicate with him.
He wanted to know about Jingyao's news, but he could only occasionally hear a few words from his son.
Ye Lang always knew that both Jing Yao and his son resented him, and he also resented himself.
Now that there's news about Xiao Zhizhi, Jingyao will definitely...
It is not appropriate to tell anyone at this time. The result is not out yet. What if... Jing Yao has hope and is disappointed again, her emotions will completely collapse.
Ye Lang's thoughts were in a mess. He thought for a long time before his boiling and excited emotions slowly calmed down and he returned to rationality.
secret……
The visitor emphasized these two words, which might mean that Xiao Zhizhi's existence should not be known to too many people for the time being. Perhaps something was involved, otherwise he would not have come to take samples in person.
Although he had always hoped for it, deep down, Ye Lang knew that his daughter was gone, so there was no DN information for them in the system, otherwise they could directly call for matching and identification.
Ye Lang thought of the place where Xiao Zhizhi disappeared last...
Ye Lang began to feel restless. He picked up his phone and put it down several times. With his energy, he might be able to find some clues if he tried to investigate.
But he was terrified at the moment, fearing that asking someone to investigate would cause trouble for Xiao Zhizhi.
Ye Lang waited anxiously for the result, checking his phone frequently.
He thought a long time had passed, but in fact, only half an hour had passed since they left.
Ye Lang couldn't sit still. He ignored everything and walked out directly. He happened to meet his special assistant who wanted to report on his work outside the door.
"I have to go out for something, and I'll let Mr. Ye come back to handle the work."
The special assistant was stunned for a moment, "Okay, Mr. Ye."
Ye Lang was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and turned around. "Were there two people looking for me just now?"
The special assistant was confused and didn't understand why Director Ye suddenly asked such a strange question, but he still answered respectfully: "Yes, as you instructed, I picked him up directly from the company gate."
Ye Lang nodded, then turned around and left quickly. He couldn't wait any longer and needed to see the results as soon as possible. He contacted the person who had called him before and made his request. Not long after, a car came to pick Ye Lang up.
The car stopped in front of a military district general hospital. The young man, Peng Wan, was already standing at the door to welcome him in.
The people in the hospital were hurrying, quickly and orderly. Ye Lang followed Peng Wan into the elevator and went up to a relatively quiet floor.
Peng Wan then said, "Mr. Ye, we have expedited the process. Please wait patiently for a moment."
"How much longer will it take?" Ye Lang was eager to do it himself.
"About another hour."
Ye Lang felt that every second was like a year, and he just stood there doing nothing.
Peng Wan advised him to sit on a chair nearby and wait, but he ignored him.
Seeing the famous Mr. Ye's out-of-control behavior, he stopped trying to persuade him.
Time passed minute by minute, and a doctor wearing a mask and a white coat walked out of a door with a report in his hand. Next to the doctor stood the middle-aged man with ordinary looks and seemed to have no presence.
He smiled happily: "Congratulations!"
Without saying much, just these two words, Ye Lang and Peng Wan already knew the result.
Ye Lang took the report with shaking hands and couldn't wait to check it. After a moment, his eyes paused, staring at the results on the report -
DNA comparison results show that Ye Lang is Ye Zi's biological father, and the probability of supporting the above parent-child relationship is greater than 99.99%.
Ye Lang's breathing became rapid. He stared at this sentence so intently that he could no longer hear the sounds around him.
His little Zhizhi was found!
Is it called Ye Zi now?
Ye Lang's tall body trembled, and after a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "I found my daughter..."
This sentence made people feel sad. Peng Wan and the middle-aged man in front of him already knew about that past event.
But before they could comfort him, Ye Lang had already suppressed his excitement. He steadied his voice and said, "I hope to take her home right away, along with the child's mother..."
Peng Wan looked at the middle-aged man.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "What we mean is that it shouldn't attract too much attention." Ye Lang and Ms. Yu were both semi-public figures, and it would be easy to attract attention if they left together.
They suggested keeping a low profile.
If we follow their wishes, the little girl will be sent out directly to reunite with her family after the current results come out.
But Ye Lang insisted on picking up his daughter in person.
Judging from the official attitude, it seems that there are some problems with Xiao Zhizhi. Perhaps something has happened, and he needs to see her immediately.
Ye Lang originally thought that if possible, he and Jing Yao would personally pick up their daughter, but since that was the case, he would wait and see the situation first. He could bear it.
Ye Lang pressed his heart.
In the end, they did not refuse the father's strong request. Not long after, they let Ye Lang get on the car sent by the department. After a two-hour ride, he transferred to a plane. The plane began to land after flying for many hours.
Ye Lang looked down from the window and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar environment around him, his pupils trembling slightly.
This is the Flower Kingdom’s ninth base airport in Mist Forest.
As a century-old family with rich assets, the Ye family has very close ties with the country. They have undertaken many national projects and also donated a lot of funds to support construction.
Although the base in Mist Forest belongs to the country, it also had the support of the Ye family when it was established.
When he was young, he loved adventure and came here many times, including the base. He has never been here since then.
Ye Lang thought that his youngest daughter had disappeared in the forest, and he had a premonition in his heart.
Therefore, all his wild thoughts along the way were wrong. The woman back then was not bluffing and actually did not bring Xiao Zhizhi into the jungle. It was not that she was lucky and was rescued by others in the jungle, but she survived in the jungle!
Ye Lang's vicissitudes of life eyes were moist. In such a harsh and terrible jungle, how much suffering did his little Zhizhi have to endure to survive?
***
Ye Zhizhi didn't know that one of her long-missed family members was about to arrive. When she got up during the day, Qin Fei trained her to control her strength.
Qin Fei found a lot of disposable chopsticks from the kitchen and asked her to try to control her strength and hold them.
Ye Zhizhi felt that she was looked down upon. She often held sticks in the jungle and often broke branches, thick and thin. She could handle them easily. Just... the small bamboo chopsticks broke into two pieces in her hand. Ye Zhizhi looked down, silently threw them into the garbage bag beside her, and continued to pick up one and hold it in her hand.
Things outside are indeed more fragile than those in the jungle!
Ye Zhizhi sat on a low stool holding bamboo chopsticks, staring at the screen of the mobile phone placed horizontally in front of him to watch the drama, and pricked up one ear to listen to Qin Fei who was on the phone not far away.
"Okay, I understand."
Qin Fei hung up the phone and walked towards Ye Zhizhi with a relaxed smile on his face.
"Ye Zi, Xiao Lin, I'm going out for a while."
Lin Duoyu, who was sitting next to Ye Zhizhi, responded, and Ye Zhizhi turned his head to look at him. She had known him for so long, but had never seen him smile so happily as today.
Ye Zhizhi turned her eyes away. She was not happy. When she asked him about the progress of his search for his family in the morning, he only said that it was almost done, but did not elaborate.
If she hadn't known that she couldn't run around here, even if she ran away, it would be difficult for her to find her family because they were so far away. She could only pin her hopes on Qin Fei, so she would have gone out to look for them herself long ago.
Qin Fei received the news not long ago. Sure enough, they were not mistaken. Ye Zi was indeed the lost little daughter of the Ye family. Now, her father was on the way.
This shows that the Ye family still cares about her very much.
Ye Zi had found her family, and according to the information he had found, her family cared about her very much. He thought that after returning home, Ye Zi would be able to live a relaxed and happy life under the love of her family. Qin Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Fei resisted the urge to share the good news with her immediately and decided to let Ye Zi experience the feeling of surprise.
After Qin Fei left, Ye Zhizhi and Lin Duoyu continued watching TV series.
After an unknown amount of time, Wu Gufeng and Liang Rong arrived.
Liang Rong looked around, "Where's Qin Fei?"
Lin Duoyu replied: "Brother Fei said he had something to do and had to leave first."
Ye Zhizhi turned to look at Wu Gufeng and Liang Rong, "Wu, Grandpa, Aunt Liang." Ye Zhizhi greeted them. She has made great progress now. She doesn't know if it's because she watches too much TV. Although it's still a little slow, she can speak two words from time to time.
After she called someone, she tilted her head with a puzzled look, as if asking what was going on?
Wu Gufeng smiled and coaxed, "Ye Zi, come with us."
Liang Rong looked at Ye Zhizhi with pity in his eyes, "We need to do some more tests."
As insiders, they naturally knew the latest news. No wonder she felt that Ye Zi looked familiar. It was because she had had contact with Ms. Yu, Ye Zi's mother.
She comes from an ordinary family. Her parents are junior and senior high school teachers. They spared no effort to cultivate her. She has been excellent since childhood, with excellent grades and is very interested in scientific research. Later, she became a student of Teacher Wu in college and has been deeply engaged in the scientific research industry.
By chance, she met Qin Fei's father. She did not agree at first, thinking that their family backgrounds were too different. She was also worried that it would cause a lot of difficult housework, preventing her from concentrating on scientific research.
So even though she had a good impression of Qin Fei's father, she didn't plan to be with him.
Later, Qin Fei's father's parents came together and moved her with their sincerity, eliminating her concerns and allowing her to have no worries.
After becoming the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, the Qin family fulfilled their promise and repeatedly praised her, saying that the Qin family had accumulated blessings for several lifetimes to have such a good daughter-in-law. As a result, her life has been very comfortable and she can focus on scientific research as before marriage.
People are always kind to each other. The Qin family is so good to her, she can't just give nothing in return, so when she is free, she will participate in some activities that require her to appear.
She had seen her in a public place more than ten years ago, but they didn't have much interaction, so she had some impression of her but never remembered her.
After checking it out, Liang Rong remembered it.
She already knew Ye Zi's life experience at this time, and couldn't help but feel even more pity for her.
When Ye Zhizhi heard that he still needed to undergo examinations, he thought he would need another injection and shook his head again and again.
She had already checked so many items before, why did she need to check again? She felt that there was nothing wrong with her and didn't want to be checked.
Wu Gufeng and Liang Rong didn't know that Ye Zhizhi was resisting the thin needle. They thought that she was impatient after so many examinations before, so they wanted to persuade her again.
They didn't know that Leaf came to the forest as a baby before, so they assumed she was a certain age. Therefore, some details need to be checked further.
Ye Zhizhi didn't think about it anymore. In order to show her determination, she ran away quickly, then climbed up a pillar and held on to it without moving.
Wu Gufeng and the other two were chasing after him, and when they saw Ye Zhizhi slither up the slippery pillar, they exclaimed in surprise.
"Come down quickly, it's dangerous!"
"Ye Zi, don't climb so high!" Lin Duoyu was so anxious that he was running around in circles.
Ye Zhizhi looked at his own height, which was just over two meters, just out of reach of them, not high at all.
Liang Rong was also anxious: "Let's not check anymore, let's get down first, okay?"
Ye Zhizhi leaned over to look at Wu Gufeng and Liang Rong, trying to gauge the truthfulness of their words.
She could sense that they meant what they said, but to avoid them bringing it up again, she decided to stay a little longer.
However, seeing Aunt Liang's anxious expression, Ye Zhizhi slid down silently, but still held the pillar to show his determination.
So when Qin Fei brought Ye Lang and two official personnel over, this was the scene they saw.
The first thing Ye Lang saw was the little girl surrounded in the middle. She was holding onto the pillar and refused to move. There were three people around her who were talking to her and trying to coax her.
The moment he saw her, she was the only one in his eyes.
With just one glance, he was sure that this was his daughter.
She looks a lot like her mother, and also a bit like a member of the Ye family.
Ye Lang's eyes were moist, "Xiao Zhizhi..."
Who? Who called her? Ye Zhizhi seemed to hear her own name.
She caught the sound and sniffed subconsciously. When her eyes fell on the old man who was looking at her in tears in the distance, she suddenly stopped.
For some reason, the smell of this person gave her a very kind and familiar feeling.
Ye Zhizhi blinked and saw Qin Fei and two other strangers, a man and a woman. They had an aura that she didn't dislike.
When Qin Fei came over, Ye Zhizhi let go of the pillar and lay on Lin Duoyu, but his eyes were secretly glancing over.
Who is this?
Ye Zhizhi unconsciously glanced at the old man who seemed very sad and excited. His emotions were very complicated, which made Ye Zhizhi feel depressed.
Qin Fei turned sideways, completely exposing the person behind him to Ye Zhizhi, and then said solemnly: "Ye Zi, this is your father."
Ah, this is her father? Her father is so old?
Ye Zhizhi tilted her head. Before she could be shocked by her family suddenly appearing in front of her, this thought came to her mind.
The person in front of me looks like an old man in his sixties. Could I have found the wrong person?
Ye Zhizhi thought so in her heart, but her eyes looked at him without blinking.
Ye Zhizhi didn't know that when he completely lost her, Ye Lang's hair turned white overnight, and due to years of mental depression, he looked much older than his actual age.
Ye Lang's lips trembled as he looked at Ye Zhizhi, not wanting to blink, fearing that she would disappear.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, trying to touch Ye Zhizhi, "Xiao Zhizhi, I am your father..."
Ye Zhizhi looked at him and felt his strong emotions gushing out. For some reason, she subconsciously whooshed and hid behind a pillar.
"Xiao Zhizhi..." Ye Lang's tears instantly flowed down.
Qin Fei didn't expect Ye Zhizhi to react like this, but he still subconsciously took a step forward, stood in front of Ye Lang, and blocked Ye Zhizhi behind him.
"Mr. Ye, now that we've found the child, there are plenty of opportunities to spend time together. Take your time and give each other time to accept each other."
Ye Lang wiped his tears and regained his composure, "Sorry for the joke, I was too excited." He then looked at the young man in front of him.
Qin Fei personally picked up Ye Lang at the airport, but Ye Lang's attention was not on his surroundings at the time and he didn't pay much attention. Now it seems that he is very familiar with Xiao Zhizhi.
Ye Lang kept glancing behind the pillar, but the pillar was too big and directly blocked his little Zhizhi. He wanted to go forward and hug his little Zhizhi, but he couldn't scare the child.
"Excuse me for a moment."
Ye Lang was still watching, he didn't want to move.
It was Wu Gufeng who spoke again, "This is not the place to talk. We need to discuss the matter concerning the little girl."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lang quickly regained his composure and calmed down. He nodded and said, "We do need to discuss this." Considering Xiao Zhizhi's experience, they still had to seek official help. He would not let his daughter fall into danger again.
"This way."
Qin Fei turned his head and said, "Ye Zi, let's go back to the Third Hospital meeting room first. You can come anytime you want."
Ye Zhizhi did not respond, and the group left.
Ye Lang looked back a few times and thought it would be better to give Xiao Zhizhi some time to recover.
Lin Duoyu looked around. She really wanted to follow them and listen to what they would say. Since this was about Ye Zi, she couldn't be completely ignorant. But Ye Zi...
Lin Duoyu decided to stay for the time being. She walked around the pillar and saw Ye Zi squatting under it with her hands on her knees.
She squatted down and asked cautiously, "Ye Zi, are you unhappy?" Wasn't Ye Zi looking forward to finding her family? And seeing that the man was Ye Zi's father, he seemed to care about Ye Zi very much.
Ye Zhizhi shook his head.
Qin Fei's surprise was so huge that she was caught off guard and hadn't reacted yet.
She had never imagined what attitude her human family would have when she met them, or how they would react.
Although the memory of that short time of less than three months together has long been blurred, she still remembers the happy and warm feeling. However, after all, sixteen years have passed, and perhaps they have become strangers with only blood ties.
Is her human father always thinking about her? What about her human mother and little brother?
Ye Zhizhi squatted for a while, thinking about what they said they wanted to discuss. Was it about her?
She couldn't squat any longer, so she stood up and followed their scent.
Seeing this, Lin Duoyu hurriedly followed.
When he arrived at the closed meeting room door, Ye Zhizhi tried to open it, but found that it was not locked, so he opened it a crack and quietly peeked in.
The wolf is sneaky.
Lin Duoyu also shamelessly listened to the voice inside.
There was such obvious movement at the door that the people inside naturally noticed it.
Even if they didn't detect Ye Zhizhi's breath, Lin Yu's breath was very obvious. When they turned around, they naturally saw Ye Zhizhi lying openly at the door.
Ye Zhizhi pricked up his ears to listen to their conversation, while secretly glancing at his human father out of the corner of his eye.
When she was young, her vision was not very clear, so she did not remember what her father looked like. However, he was indeed her father. Even when he was old, he was still an elegant and handsome old man.
But she was homesick and didn't know how to face it.
