"If that's the case, then why did you steal Wei Jinning? You've already given birth to a child yourself!" The law enforcement officer's question was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Li Xiaohua's heart.
"I didn't steal her! She's my daughter, my own flesh and blood!" Despite being filled with fear, Li Xiaohua firmly denied it.
Her back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"This is your paternity test result with Wei Jinning. There is no blood relationship. I advise you to tell the truth." The law enforcement officer handed the paternity test results to Li Xiaohua.
Li Xiaohua dared not look, knowing full well the outcome.
...
Finally, unable to withstand the harsh interrogation, Li Xiaohua suffered a complete mental breakdown and confessed everything truthfully.
"You have no idea, the child I gave birth to was stillborn! And it was a girl..." Her voice was filled with despair and sorrow.
"I fainted on the spot. When I woke up again, the nurses comforted me, saying that I was still young and would have the opportunity to have children in the future."
"But they don't understand how I'm supposed to face my family after giving birth to a stillborn child. They'll definitely think I'm unlucky and bring bad luck."
"Maybe she'll divorce me then! Where can a divorced woman go?" Li Xiaohua said, tears streaming down her face.
"For those three days, I stayed in the hospital, constantly on edge, afraid to even sleep, terrified they would suddenly come and discover what had happened..."
"Fortunately, they didn't show up in the end," Li Xiaohua murmured to herself.
As if still trapped in that painful memory, her body trembled involuntarily, and large beads of sweat slid down her cheeks.
"That brat is so lucky! She's had someone to take care of her since birth, and her mother is stunningly beautiful, always calling her 'Little Jinning,' 'Little Darling,' and 'Little Baby.'"
Li Xiaohua's eyes revealed deep jealousy and resentment. "What's so great about a little girl like her?"
“When I was discharged from the hospital, the woman secretly took the child away while the nanny was out and the woman was asleep.”
“At first, I was worried that someone would come and take the child, but no one has come. It seems that they don’t really like the girl that much.”
"I didn't steal it. If it weren't for me, this brat might have been abandoned and starved to death somewhere."
Yes, it's not my fault.
Wei Dachuan was acquitted and released.
Li Xiaohua was sentenced to five years in prison for child abduction.
Law enforcement officers intervened and found the police reports from the hospital where Li Xiaohua worked twenty years ago.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Huo?" the police officer asked on the phone.
A deep, serious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yes, this is me. Who is this?"
Huo Shan's voice reveals a calmness and profundity that comes with the passage of time.
The law enforcement officer then said, "This is the Chunshi Public Security Bureau. Twenty years ago, your daughter went missing at the city hospital. Now we have found a person who resembles your daughter, and we hope you can come as soon as possible to cooperate with the paternity test."
Upon hearing this news, Huo Shan was shocked. His previously calm eyes were instantly filled with excitement, and he could hardly believe what he had just heard.
With a slight tremor, he asked, "You...you mean my daughter...my daughter has been found?" His words were filled with barely suppressed excitement and anticipation.
The law enforcement officer on the other end gave an affirmative answer: "Based on the clues we have so far, the possibility is very high, but DNA testing is still needed to definitively confirm the kinship."
"Okay, okay! I'll head there immediately. Please take good care of my daughter." Huo Shan replied hastily, his voice filled with urgency.
After hanging up the phone, he was unable to calm down for a long time.
However, this time he did not tell the other members of his family the news.
Over the past twenty years, they have experienced too much disappointment and pain, and each time their hopes were dashed, it was like a sharp blade piercing their hearts.
He worried that this might just be a false alarm, and feared that it would bring another heavy blow to his family.
So, Huo Shan took a private plane alone to Chun City.
When Zhao Qiuying was pregnant, her emotions were very unstable. When she was about to give birth, she suddenly said that she dreamed of Chunshi and insisted on going there. Huo Shan had no choice but to go with her.
Unexpectedly, just half a day after getting off the plane, Zhao Qiuying went into labor and was sent to the city hospital, where she gave birth to a daughter. The two were overjoyed.
However, coincidentally, problems arose at the Huo family at this time, and Huo Shan had to return to Beijing first, leaving the nanny to take care of Zhao Qiuying.
Huo Shan went to Chun City as soon as he finished his work, but by then his daughter had already gone missing. They always thought that it was someone from Beijing who did it, so the direction of the investigation was wrong from the beginning.
As a result, they haven't been able to find their daughter for so many years.
Along the way, his thoughts surged like a tidal wave. Over the past twenty years, he had no idea how many times he had had such hopes, only to be disappointed time and time again.
But his longing for his daughter never diminished in the slightest.
"I wonder how this child is doing now? Has she suffered all these years? Could she really be my daughter? I hope it's true this time..." Huo Shan prayed silently, his heart filled with both hope and a trace of unease.
As the plane gradually landed at Chunshi Airport, his heart pounded harder and harder, as if it were about to jump out of his throat.
When he met Wei Jinning in Huoshan, he knew that this was his daughter. She looked so much like his wife when she was young.
There's absolutely no need for a paternity test.
For a moment, I was speechless and unable to move, as if I were dreaming.
