Chapter 441 Let Mom See Through Newspapers and Radio

Xie Zhiyan paused, feeling incredulous, and didn't know how to respond. Shu Ying hadn't been in a good mood lately, and easily became depressed in the afternoons.

He was well aware that a woman's pregnancy is affected by hormones.

Before he could answer, Shu Ying had already taken out a newspaper and presented it to him.

"Look, this is the newspaper. Lan Yin is my mother's pen name. I've told her before that she's always used this name to submit articles to the newspaper. And this line of poetry is actually our family's secret code. I don't think this is a coincidence."

If the name was just a coincidence, then this poem must have some other meaning, unless it was a carefully planned conspiracy. But right now, she really doesn't have anything about her that anyone could plan against her.

Xie Zhiyan held her hand and nodded: "Don't worry, I'll find out about this. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news. Do you and Mom and Dad have any other secret codes?"

Shu Ying frowned and shook her head: "No, I already called that number today, and the other party revealed some information. Combined with the information I gave you before, I guess the identities of my grandparents and parents should be confirmed."

Xie Zhiyan understood what Shu Ying meant, and he pulled her into his arms with one hand: "You think that the one who harmed Mom and Dad must have been a traitor among those who knew about it back then, and that Mom and Dad didn't dare to show their faces because they were afraid of being discovered by that person?"

Shu Ying rested her head on Xie Zhiyan's shoulder, feeling utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

“My intuition tells me that’s it. My mother is definitely trapped somewhere right now. Zhiyan, I need you to help me secretly investigate the people who forged my parents’ remains and sent them back. This matter must be related to them.”

When Shu Ying saw the two corpses, she didn't even have time to confirm them. She only noticed that there were some items that her parents always carried with them, and then she fainted.

When Shu Ying woke up, the two had already been buried.

Looking back now, there are still many doubts. Back then, Old Zheng even suggested that the two of them would be completely unrecognizable when they returned, and that a cenotaph should be erected to help them find their way back.

However, things changed too quickly, and Shu Ying no longer had the mind to deal with it. Almost half a year had passed, and the news that her parents were still alive exploded in Shu Ying's mind, but she dared not make it public at this time.

Xie Zhiyan's gaze grew increasingly firm. He knew that Shu Ying was by no means willful; when it came to matters concerning their parents, he was determined to get to the bottom of it no matter what.

"Don't worry, I'll get someone to take care of it right away. Also, the place where Mom and Dad died and went missing might be a clue. I'll contact more people and start a thorough search from there. If we're lucky, we might even find Mom."

The world is so big, finding someone is no easy task, but as long as they are alive, they cannot give up.

Moreover, Shuying's parents are people who have contributed to society, and now that their lives are threatened, the organization must not stand idly by.

He earnestly comforted Shu Ying, saying, "Don't worry too much. Knowing that Mom and Dad are alright for now is the best news. Now that it's been published in the newspaper, it means that most people in the city will see it. Although fewer people in the countryside read newspapers, the First City Daily will be broadcast to the villages every afternoon."

The First Municipal Daily of Beijing was different from other newspapers. As the first newspaper in Beijing and with a special background, its contents were widely read.

Even people in the countryside usually learn about the newspaper through the loudspeaker at the brigade headquarters. Sometimes it's about the current political situation, and sometimes it's about survival and development issues. In short, it all concerns people's livelihoods.

Shu Ying's hands trembled uncontrollably, her eyes were red and brimming with tears.

“I thought I would never see my parents again in this life. I never expected to see this newspaper. Perhaps it was fate. It couldn’t bear to see our family wandering like this. I hope my mother will be safe and sound. May God bless us so that we can be reunited as soon as possible.”

She closed her eyes and muttered something to herself.

She was originally a staunch materialist, but some things, no matter how hard she tried, could only be left to fate.

She is now a mother, but she still longs for her parents' company.

Xie Zhiyan's eyes were filled with more heartache. Since Shu Ying came to the capital, she has been independent and brave in many things. It seems that there is nothing in the world that she is afraid of or worried about.

This was one of the few times she revealed his vulnerability to him.

Xie Zhiyan's voice softened even more: "Don't be afraid. As long as we don't give up, we'll get news of Mom and Dad sooner or later. I'll report this to the organization. I've also submitted all the materials related to Mom and Dad's exoneration. I believe we'll be reunited as a family soon. We're husband and wife, and I'll help you no matter what difficulties you face. Yingying, I can definitely be the person you can always trust."

Shu Ying felt a lump in her throat, but she quickly composed herself. Women's moods are easily affected when they are pregnant, so she had to stay strong.

"I believe you can do it."

She looked at the newspaper in her hand repeatedly, her fingers tracing the acrostic poem: "Dad is always so clever. He taught me so many things. I never thought he would come up with such a method, using a newspaper ad to find my mother. He must know that only the content of the First Newspaper will be broadcast, so he went to that newspaper."

She wondered where her father was now. Perhaps he was being well protected, but the fear he had endured during this time must have made him lose a lot of weight.

Xie Zhiyan looked over as well: "The radio can reach every village, and the First Newspaper covers almost everything. Now we just have to wait patiently and see if we can get any news about Mom."

Xie Mingzhu finished preparing the last dish in the kitchen. As Shu Ying brought the bowls and chopsticks to the table, the children returned from outside, having enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

Xie Mingzhu took the two children over to wash their hands, and only when she saw that Shu Ying's expression had finally softened did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
