Lu Nan has already arrived at the hospital where Zhang Yue gave birth.
The hospital is still there, but in the past twenty years, due to the turbulent times, the doctors and nurses have been replaced.
When Lu Nan went to inquire, the nurse shook her head: "Doctor Zhou Jing? I don't know, I haven't heard of her."
Zhou Jing was Zhang Yue's midwife back then, but she had long forgotten the name of the delivery room nurse.
Lu Nan asked again: "Are the files from that year still there?"
The nurse continued to shake her head. "The hospital's files have long been lost or destroyed. You might as well look for someone instead of just looking for the files."
The clues from the hospital have been cut off.
Lu Nan could only go to his friends in the local military district to inquire about the news.
"Captain Lu! What brings you here?" Zhao Xiong grinned with his signature big white teeth, the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears.
The two had previously served in a special forces team that was temporarily formed for a certain mission.
We have a life-long friendship.
After bumping fists, Lu Nan handed over a file bag without beating around the bush and said, "Please help me find someone."
The file bag contained all the information about Zhang Yue's production that year:
A medical record sheet and the child's birth certificate, with the doctor's signature at the end.
Zhao Xiong is a native of Hai City. His parents are both leaders within the system and have considerable connections in the local area.
He opened the file bag and browsed the information inside.
"Twenty years ago? That's a long time ago. Why are you only thinking of checking now?"
Lu Nan didn't hide it: "My sister got sick and we realized that she might have been taken away by mistake. Before I came to you, I went to the hospital to inquire, but the doctors and nurses who were there are no longer around."
"My brother said that the family who shared the delivery room with me back then were probably locals from Hai City."
Zhao Xiong naturally knew about the turmoil in recent years. It was very likely that the doctors and nurses from that time were not only no longer in the hospital, but were no longer alive.
But taking the wrong child away is no small matter, and we should try our best to find the child as long as there is a glimmer of hope.
He readily agreed, "Alright, leave it to me. But I have to warn you first. Hai City wasn't as peaceful as your capital during those years. If they really find your sister, the situation won't be good. Be prepared."
Lu Nan nodded.
He knew it very well.
But no matter what, we must know the truth.
Zhao Xiong's advantage as a local quickly became apparent. Within a week, he had found out about Dr. Zhou Jing, the doctor who delivered the baby that year.
Zhou Jing has long stopped being a doctor. Now her legs are disabled and she has to rely on crutches to travel.
After her husband died, she moved in with her son.
Zhou Jing's son is married and works in a steel factory.
The wife I married doesn't have a job, so she stays at home to take care of the children.
The family of four relied entirely on Zhou Jing's son's salary to survive, and they lived a very tight life.
Knowing Zhou Jing's family conditions, Lu Nan went to the store to buy several large bags of snacks when he visited her, and also gave Zhou Jing's grandson a red envelope.
Zhao Xiong accompanied Lu Nan to Zhou Jing's house.
When Zhou Jing's daughter-in-law Xia Juan opened the door, she was shocked to see two men standing upright at the door.
Especially Zhao Xiong, when he doesn't smile, he looks like Li Kui, dark and strong.
Xia Juan thought they were looking for trouble, and asked nervously, "Who are you looking for?"
Lu Nan said politely, "Doctor Zhou Jing live here, right? Let's ask her something."
Lu Nan is much more handsome than Zhao Xiong and his voice is softer.
Xia Juan's nervousness eased slightly, but she still asked cautiously, "Who are you? What do you want from my mother-in-law?"
She knew that her mother-in-law used to be an obstetrician, and it was because of this identity that she was murdered and had her leg broken.
So she had to be vigilant.
Lu Nan saw Xia Juan's defensiveness and instantly guessed that Zhou Jing's leg might be related to her identity as a doctor.
He explained in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid. We're here to get some information from her. She was my mother's midwife."
"This is my officer's ID."
Lu Nan showed the ID to Xia Juan.
Inside the house, Zhou Jing's leg disease recurred. Lying on the bed, she could only hear noises outside.
After not seeing Xia Juan come back for a while, he worriedly called out, "Juan, who is that?"
"It's okay, Mom." Xia Juan turned around and said something reassuringly, then led Zhao Xiong and Lu Nan into the house.
Lu Nan put the things he brought on the table: "I brought some food for the children, please accept it."
Xia Juan didn't refuse as her family conditions were limited.
After receiving the things, she felt completely relieved, thinking that he was not looking for trouble.
She rinsed two teacups, made two cups of tea and placed them on the table: "You guys sit down first, I'll go call my mother-in-law out."
In the bedroom.
Xia Juan helped her mother-in-law up from the bed and explained the purpose of their visit.
Zhou Jing seemed to remember something and became visibly agitated.
She fumbled for the crutches at the head of the bed: "I'm going out to meet someone."
When Zhou Jing went out, Lu Nan stood up and greeted her.
"Doctor Zhou."
Zhou Jing nodded at him and sat down on the chair next to him with the help of her daughter-in-law.
Lu Nan directly took out the information from the file bag and handed it over: "Doctor Zhou, do you still remember my mother?"
Zhou Jing pursed her lips and took the yellowed birth certificate.
When his eyes fell on the name above, his gaze gradually changed and his hands holding the paper trembled slightly.
How could she not remember?
Of course she remembers!
She had even waited for this day for too long!
"You finally found me!" Zhou Jing held the birth certificate, her voice trembling.
Lu Nan and Zhao Xiong looked at each other, slightly shocked.
Could it be that Zhou Jing is also looking for Zhang Yue?
After waiting for a week, Lu Nan could no longer hold back and got straight to the point:
"Doctor Zhou, I came here this time to ask you, do you remember who was the woman who gave birth in the same delivery room with my mother? My family suspects that when my younger sister was born, she was switched with that family."
Haha, no doubt about it, it’s the fact!
Zhou Jing said without hesitation, "Your sister was indeed replaced."
"But by the time I heard the news, I had already arrived in a remote mountain village and my leg was broken."
A strong hatred welled up in her eyes and she was lost in memories.
"I'm just a minor doctor, and I haven't offended anyone. Logically, I shouldn't have been affected by the turmoil. But I was maliciously reported and not only became a key target of punishment, but I also had my leg broken."
"After the turmoil ended and I returned to Haishi, someone came to my house to warn me not to speak carelessly."
"That's when I realized my broken leg and demoted were intentional. I played dumb and slipped some information to the person who warned me, and that's when I got some information out of him."
"It turns out they wanted me not to reveal the information about a woman I delivered more than a decade ago."
"After the other party reminded me of this, I checked my previous work notes and found that the woman who gave birth was also a local of Hai City."
"I asked someone and found out they have a daughter with congenital heart disease. Thinking back to when they delivered the baby, there was only one baby with a bad heart, and that child wasn't theirs at all!"
Zhou Jing's fingers, which were tightly gripping the crutch, were twisted and white, and she pounded the ground hard.
