Chapter 909 Xie Yi's Suspicion

But wasn't the Lin couple found in Jinhuai Town in the north of the city?

Amidst various thoughts.

Qin Mo immediately gave the order: "Have someone investigate the twenty-fifth year..." Halfway through his sentence, Qin Mo suddenly remembered that another year had passed, "Twenty-six years ago, around December, who was born and who went missing."

Secretary Wen: "Okay."

Secretary Wen turned and went to do it.

At the same time.

Huo Sinian's side.

Secretary Ye knew about Qin Mo's investigation of them: "Fortunately, you asked me to investigate other hospitals besides Haicheng First People's Hospital, otherwise Qin Mo might have found out."

“Haicheng is, after all, Qin’s territory.” Huo Sinian’s eyes behind his glasses were hard to see clearly. “He can detect even the slightest movement, so it’s good to be cautious.”

"What about Xie Changyuan?" Secretary Ye asked. "Will Qin Mo connect your investigation of the hospital with Xie Changyuan?"

Huo Sinian slightly raised his eyes.

Absolutely.

They might even sense something.

"Go do something: match people born in Haicheng in the same month as Lin Tan with families who emigrated overseas during that period." Huo Sinian's mind worked quickly. "And send people to investigate as well."

Secretary Ye: "Okay."

Huo Sinian: "Be discreet, but make sure Qin Mo finds out you're doing this."

Secretary Ye: "Understood."

Secretary Ye immediately took care of it.

I admire my boss's intelligence.

As long as they focus their investigation on those people abroad, Qin Mo will temporarily ignore Xie Changyuan's matter and instead have people follow their leads.

All I can say is...

Huo Sinian had indeed foreseen this.

On the third day after Secretary Ye sent people overseas to investigate, Qin Mo received the news, which was told to him by Chi Yuan.

Friday.

Qin Mo was just about to leave work.

Chi Yuan then invited him and Xie Yi to a bar for a get-together.

In the bar's private room, Chi Yuan looked at Qin Mo's serious expression and couldn't help but tease him, "What's wrong? You've been frowning ever since you arrived."

"Huo Sinian has information about Lin Tan's biological parents," Qin Mo said calmly, his dark eyes unfathomable. "But after investigating for several days, he hasn't found anything of real use."

Over the past three days, Wen Zhi has checked all the hospitals in Haicheng that he visited more than 20 years ago.

Many baby girls were born in the same year and month as Lin Tan, and quite a few of them went missing or were abandoned.

Checking each case one by one would take at least a month.

"Huo Sinian?" Chi Yuan was taken aback, then said, "Hasn't he recently sent a lot of people abroad to inquire about people who immigrated from Haicheng more than 20 years ago?"

Qin Mo looked up: "Where did you hear that from?"

Chi Yuan swirled the wine glass in his hand: "Yesterday, a childhood friend of mine messaged me asking what happened in Haicheng and why Huo Sinian would ask such strange questions. By the way, my childhood friend's sister was born in the same year as Lin Tan, but she was sent away."

Qin Mo's eyes were completely black.

Almost instantly.

He relayed the message and instructed people to investigate.

"Is it necessary to find her biological parents who abandoned her?" Xie Yi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.

Qin Mo: "It's not confirmed whether it was abandoned."

Xie Yi: "Actually, you know very well that at that time, it was most likely that they were abandoned."

"What about Xie Changyuan's daughter?" Qin Mo pointed out a question bluntly, "Was she also abandoned?"

Xie Yidun.

Xie Yi said unhurriedly, "What does this have to do with Xie Changyuan?"

Qin Mo didn't hide anything: "Huo Sinian has been to his house."

Xie Yi narrowed his eyes.

Where is Xie Changyuan?

“I remember Xie Changyuan’s daughter disappeared from the hospital not long after she was born,” Chi Yuan said, recounting a story he had heard from his elders. “They searched for her for a long time.”

"No," Xie Yi said.

Qin Mo and Chi Yuan both looked at him.

Xie Yi said slowly, "They don't value that child. When my grandfather found out about this, he sent someone to ask him and wanted to help him find him, but he angrily said that he didn't need our hypocrisy."

Chi Yuan stroked his chin: "Your grandfather expelled him from the Xie family, so it's normal for him to be dissatisfied."

“That’s not normal,” Qin Mo said. “If he really cared about the child, he wouldn’t have said such a thing when Grandpa Xie took the initiative to show concern.”

Xie Yi: "Yes."

Chi Yuan thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. So what happened after that? We haven't heard from the child at all?"

"After having this son, I never looked for him again." Xie Yi knew a little about what had happened over there, "and never mentioned it again."

"Then why did Huo Sinian look for him?" Chi Yuan asked, puzzled. "He doesn't think Lin Tan is Xie Changyuan's child, does he?"

“It’s normal for him to think that way.” Xie Yi remained calm throughout. “After all, Xie Changyuan’s child and Lin Tan’s child were born around the same time.”

It wasn't just that child.

And his sister.

If it were his sister who had gone missing, he might even suspect that Lin Tan was his sister.

“Something’s not right with you,” Chi Yuan said, staring at him.

Xie Yi: "?"

Chi Yuan looked at him with suspicion: "You used to be very dissatisfied with Lin Tan. Every time you mentioned her, you would either make sarcastic remarks or show dislike for her. This is the first time I've seen you act so normally."

Xie Yi recalled his previous conversation with Chi Qian.

"You really think there's nothing wrong with her?"

"No problem, he's a very good person." Chi Qian answered decisively. "He's ambitious, has his own bottom line and code of conduct, is very polite, and respects people."

Chi Qian has always had a good eye for people, and he trusts her.

"What's with that expression?" Chi Yuan wanted to punch him when he saw that he didn't say anything.

"Let's stick to the facts," Xie Yi said without offering further explanation.

"I heard from my mom that you were planning to go to our house to propose to Chi Qian? Is that true?" Chi Yuan's gossip-loving heart was burning with anticipation. "Weren't you two never really attracted to each other?"

Xie Yi raised his chin towards Qin Mo: "Instead of gossiping about these things, why not think of a way to investigate Lin Tan's background more quickly?"

Chi Yuan looked at him suspiciously.

Something's not right.

Something's not right.

Normally, Xie Yi would have already teased him.

"I have something to do at home, so I'll be leaving now." Xie Yi put down his cup and stood up, his gaze falling on Qin Mo. "Although I don't like Lin Tan, I can help if Huo Sinian has trouble dealing with her."

Qin Mo: "Thanks."

Xie Yi didn't say anything more, walked out of the bar and got into his car.

He instructed the driver, "Go back to my parents' house."

Driver: "Okay."

On the bus.

As Xie Yi looked at the receding scenery outside the window, an absurd idea popped into his mind.

When Qin Mo mentioned that Huo Sinian went to see Xie Changyuan, he was actually wondering if it was possible that his sister was switched at birth with Xie Changyuan's daughter, or even that Xie Changyuan had deliberately replaced her.

After all, Xie Changyuan's family and their family didn't get along back then.

It's not impossible that they would do something like this to seize power.

When I got home.

Junyi and Xie Chang'an had just finished eating and were taking a walk.

Seeing him return, Junyi's eyes were filled with surprise: "Why did you decide to come back today? You usually don't come back when I ask you to?"

"Have you forgotten why you usually call me back?" Xie Yi asked unhurriedly.

Junyi: "How can you blame me? It's your fault for not dating at all, and your grandfather heard from Grandpa Qin that you and Chi Yuan are a couple. How could I not be anxious?"

Xie Yi: "..."

Junyi pulled him along as they walked in the garden: "You really don't have a girl you like?"

Xie Yi: "You've asked that question many times already."

Junyi sighed: "You still have a year or two to date freely. If you still can't find a suitable one, we can only arrange a marriage between you and Chi Jing. The Chi family really wants to bring you two together."

"They changed players pretty quickly," Xie Yi remarked casually. "Wasn't it Chi Qian before?"

“Isn’t it because Chi Qian doesn’t want to?” Junyi didn’t beat around the bush with him. “If she were willing, I would be more eager to match you two up, but she doesn’t want to, and I can’t force her.”

Xie Yi didn't speak.

He always knew that his mother liked Chi Qian.

She likes him more than her son.

“If you like her, I can say a lot of good things about her,” Junyi said with a smile.

"You should use this time to rest and recuperate," Xie Yi said, casually changing the subject, "Have you been having trouble sleeping lately? Have you been having any dreams at night?"
