Chapter 445 Uncle Zheng Brings Good News to Our Door

Shu Ying's eyes lit up almost instantly. She abruptly lifted her head from Xie Zhiyan's embrace, and the vague image in her mind matched Xie Zhiyan's words.

Shu Ying's face was filled with hope and surprise.

"Yes, it's a power plant!"

She instinctively grabbed Xie Zhiyan's arm.

"Zhiyan, could you please use this as a starting point to help me find out if there are any mountain villages that meet the criteria?"

"I remember it was a mountain village, the kind of village surrounded by rolling mountains. Some of the village walls were made of mud, some were made of mountain stones, and most of them had thatched roofs!"

After saying all that in one breath, she pursed her lips.

"I know this is just a dream of mine, and it sounds a bit far-fetched."

"But please believe me, I have a feeling that Mom is very likely there!"

"I don't want to miss any clues or opportunities that might lead me to my mother."

"Oh right... once we find my dad, I need to tell him the news as soon as possible, and also... I need to get the newspapers and radio stations to publicize the search, focusing on the mountain village."

Shu Ying grabbed Xie Zhiyan's hand and said a lot. Xie Zhiyan showed no impatience and carefully wrote down everything she said. He then calmly patted Shu Ying's hand.

"Don't worry, I've remembered everything you said, word for word."

"I will do as you say and use all my connections to help you find your mother."

"Um!"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Shu Ying hugged Xie Zhiyan tightly.

"Thank you, Zhiyan."

She is lucky to have a lover who is always by her side and patiently listens to everything she has to say.

As soon as it was barely light, Xie Zhiyan immediately got dressed, got up, and rushed out the door.

He first went to see Qi Zecheng and Ye Zhanying, and then went to see people he knew in the military who he could use.

The group quickly assembled and, following Xie Zhiyan's instructions, immediately contacted their respective contacts and began their search, starting with Huanshan Village near Shanghai.

Shu Ying fell into a deep sleep in Xie Zhiyan's arms sometime last night. When she woke up this morning, she found that Xie Zhiyan had already left.

He truly took her words as the most important thing and acted accordingly.

Shu Ying looked at the clear and cold sky early in the morning, feeling comforted but also a little sorry for Xie Zhiyan.

On her way home, Shu Ying kept recalling all the details of her dream from last night.

As soon as she got home, she immediately took out paper and pen and wrote down everything in her dream. Then she closed her eyes and recalled it again, comparing it with the contents of her notebook, afraid that she might have missed anything.

She was just about to take out the map and the investigation records from village to village when there was a knock on her door.

Xie Mingzhu was still resting upstairs when Shu Ying, who happened to be in the living room, went to open the door.

Surprisingly, it was the guard at the gate who arrived. He gave Shu Ying a military salute first.

"Comrade Shuying, someone is looking for you. The person claims to be surnamed Zheng and has come to visit with his daughter, Zheng Xiuying."

Shu Ying's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she was pleasantly surprised.

"Uncle Zheng?"

"Please invite them in quickly!"

Upon recognizing the person, the guard immediately felt relieved, responded, and went to let the person in.

Shu Ying waited at the door for a long time, but she couldn't wait any longer, so she simply went out to greet him.

Grandpa Zheng and his daughter walked in with smiles on their faces. As soon as they turned a corner, they saw Shu Ying coming to greet them, and they quickened their pace.

"Oh dear, the weather's not good today, why did you still come out to greet me?"

Shu Ying smiled and shook her head: "I'm glad you've come."

"I was able to find Zhiyan with my child and have a place to stay, all thanks to you."

"Zhiyan had mentioned several times before that he wanted to thank you in person, but we didn't expect that you would come to our door in person before we even had a chance to go."

"You are our benefactor, and we should be the ones visiting you. You are too kind. I should have come out to greet you."

Grandpa Zheng waved his hand with a smile and looked Shu Ying up and down.

"Not bad, not bad. You look great. It seems you're doing well here, which puts my mind at ease."

As Grandpa Zheng spoke, his eyes reddened and his hands trembled. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Zheng Xiuying quickly reminded him.

"It's a bit cold outside today, let's not let Yingying talk here, let's go inside quickly."

Grandpa Zheng quickly rubbed his eyes.

"Yes, yes, it was my oversight. Let's go back and talk later."

"good."

Shu Ying supported the old man's arm and led him into the house.

The three closed the door, and Shu Ying brought over tea. They sat down and started talking.

The old man seemed to have a lot to say, and without any time for pleasantries, he went straight to the point.

"Yingying, the reason I came here in person is to tell you that your father has been contacted."

Shu Ying looked delighted, but before she could rejoice, Old Master Zheng continued—

"It's just that your father can't meet with you right now, so he asked me to tell you."

“I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to explain things clearly over the phone, so I came to your door.”

Immediately afterwards, Grandpa Zheng told Shu Ying everything about Shu Wenyuan's current situation and his experiences during this period.

"You must have seen the newspaper, right?"

Shu Ying nodded and turned around to pick up the newspaper.

"I called the number listed in the newspaper, but I haven't received a reply yet."

"but……"

Shu Ying's gaze fell on the newspaper: "I roughly guessed Dad's plan, but I was just worried about not being able to contact him and discuss it with him."

Grandpa Zheng sighed: "There's nothing we can do about it. Your father can't show his face for the time being."

Shu Ying nodded in understanding, but still couldn't help but sigh.

A daughter who can't see her father still misses him.

Compared to being missing, at least we know that Dad is alright now, and that's enough.

"By the way, Uncle Zheng, I have some information here that might be helpful in finding my mother."

Shu Ying quickly showed all the information she had just written down to Grandpa Zheng and told him that she had asked Xie Zhiyan to start looking for it.

"We still need the newspapers and radio stations to lend a helping hand; I'm worried about how to get them to help."

Grandpa Zheng quickly finished reading it and repeatedly said, "Good."

"Great, that's wonderful... We were in a hurry, and we found a lead so quickly."

"With these, it becomes much easier to find them."

"As for newspapers and radio stations—"

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Zheng quickly turned to look at his daughter.

"By the way, your Aunt Zheng seems to have a good friend who works at a newspaper."

Shu Ying looked at Zheng Xiuying.

Jung Soo-young smiled and nodded.

"What a coincidence, I happen to be able to help. I'll take charge of the newspaper side, and as for the radio station... I'll try to help contact them."
