The next day, just as dawn broke, He Hua urged Chen Gang to get up.
They didn't even make breakfast and rushed out the door.
"Do you know where he lives?" Chen Gang asked as they walked.
"I know, I'd go even with my eyes closed."
He Hua thought fiercely to herself, "Hmph, how could she not know the house she lived in for decades in her previous life?"
She thought about it for a long time last night and suspected that Brother Chen Gang was actually the child of the Li family.
If this is true, then the domestic abuser must be a fake. It's truly a miracle.
It took the two of them half an hour to reach the gate of the courtyard. They were hiding in a corner, secretly watching the gate.
"He Hua, we're already here, what should we do next?"
"Wait, wait for the people inside to come out, then we'll rush in."
They waited patiently for the Li family to come out, and Chen's father and the others got up at that time.
"Huh, where's the breakfast?"
Mr. Chen went to the kitchen, opened the pot, and saw that it was completely empty.
"Old woman, didn't you ask the third son and his wife to make breakfast?"
"I didn't call out to them. I thought they all knew they were responsible for preparing three meals a day at home."
"Alright, go and wake them up. They're so lazy, still sleeping until now."
"Okay, third son, get up." Mother Chen pounded on the door, but there was no response from inside.
So she pushed open the door, but the room was empty.
"Old man, they're not in the room. Where did they go so early in the morning?"
"Alright, hurry up and make breakfast, there's still time."
"Okay, sure."
Hmph, those three old people, she'll deal with them when she gets home from get off work.
Chen Gang and He Hua, who were being scolded by Chen's mother, stomped their feet and stared wide-eyed.
At eight o'clock, the door finally opened.
Li's father came out of the yard, and when Chen Gang was about to rush up, He Hua pulled him back.
"Brother Chen Gang, let's not stay here. Let's follow him and get some distance away from this courtyard first."
"good."
The two followed behind Li's father for three or four alleys.
He Hua gently pushed Chen Gang, who immediately understood and rushed forward to stop Li's father.
Just as Li's father was about to start cursing, he froze when he saw Chen Gang's appearance.
Why does this person look so much like his deceased mother? Then, Li's father asked, "Why are you stopping me?"
Seeing Li's father's expression, He Hua felt there was a chance, so she quickly stepped forward and tentatively said, "It's like this, Director Li, don't you think he looks like someone from your family?"
He Hua's heart started racing; she wanted to know the details but was also afraid that things would fall through.
Chen Gang, too, looked at Li's father with anticipation.
Mr. Li looked at the two people in front of him and pondered for a while.
He frowned and said, "She does look a bit like my mother when she was young. What exactly are you trying to say?"
He Hua was pleasantly surprised. She took a deep breath and mustered her courage to say, "Director Li, I suspect that Chen Gang is your biological son, and that Li Feng in your family is the fake one."
Furthermore, Li Feng looks a lot like Chen Gang's older brother. If you don't believe me, you can investigate.
Mr. Li's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "What makes you say that? This is utterly absurd."
Upon hearing this, He Hua hurriedly explained, "You can try to recall if anything strange happened back then, such as the babies being switched at birth."
Chen Gang, who was listening nearby, was also very anxious. He was also eager to know if he was right or wrong.
After listening, Mr. Li fell into deep thought. After a long while, he slowly said, "There was indeed some chaos back then. There were other women giving birth in the delivery room when my wife was giving birth."
He Hua and Chen Gang exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise.
Mr. Li's expression instantly turned serious. "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If it is true, I will acknowledge my biological child back."
If not, you are not allowed to mention this matter again, lest it affect our family's life.
After saying that, Li's father turned and left, leaving He Hua and Chen Gang standing there, their hearts filled with hope yet also with some unease.
"Brother Chen Gang, do you think it's possible that it's true?"
Whether it's true or not, it's still a glimmer of hope.
"Yes, our lives are full of hope again. Brother Chen Gang, let's go to the state-run restaurant for breakfast to celebrate."
"good."
The two went to a state-run restaurant and ordered two bowls of plain porridge and several meat buns.
While they were eating, He Hua whispered, "Brother Chen Gang, if you really became the son of the Li family, our lives would definitely be much better."
Chen Gang nodded, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes: "But what if it's not? We'll still have to go back to the countryside in Guangxi Province."
He Hua gently comforted her, "No, I'm sure I'm right."
Even if not, being sent to the countryside in Guangxi Province is quite nice.
"I think it was your dad who did this. Otherwise, how would they have gotten jobs at the shoe factory?"
I suspect that Li Feng also knows about your background, so he's getting jobs for your dad and your older brother to shut them up.
"Hey, now that you mention it, it's actually quite possible. Who would give up a job for no reason?"
My dad is a very cunning person; he would definitely do something like switching children.
If I were truly a child of the Li family, I would never forgive them for the suffering they have endured over the past twenty years.
"Yes, we will absolutely not let them go, especially the fake young master Li Feng."
"He enjoyed everything you had, and made you suffer for so many years. It would be best if he died," He Hua said fiercely.
"Hmph, don't worry, I'll make him vomit it up."
The two of them enjoyed a delicious breakfast, filled with anticipation.
Mr. Li went to the shoe factory, sat in his office, and thought about it seriously for a while.
Then, he made a phone call and ordered someone to investigate what happened back then.
At that moment, while patrolling the shoe factory, he noticed his son chatting with two unfamiliar workers.
He had intended to walk away, but his curiosity compelled him to remain motionless and continue watching.
Why does this younger man look a bit like Feng'er? Could it be that what those two said this morning was true?
Logically speaking, Feng'er shouldn't know them, but they are now in contact with them and even have them work for them.
Hmph, Mr. Li turned and went back to his office. After what had just happened, he had begun to suspect that Li Feng already knew about his background.
If that's really the case, then we might as well not have Feng'er.
He got to where he is today only because of his father's connections.
And then there's the ruthlessness of having the courage to let go when necessary and to discard what needs to be discarded.
Li Feng was unaware that his father already knew about his background, and he continued to act as usual.
They arranged jobs for the workers and also helped Chen's father and Chen Jin get jobs.
The Chen father and son were so excited that they couldn't express their feelings when they saw that they had actually started working.
