Chapter 19 The Investigation Report is Out

As evening descended and the lights of the city began to twinkle, Mu Jingchen, who was having dinner with his friend, received an investigation report about Su Xiwan. Mu Jingchen opened the report, his expression gradually becoming serious. The more he read, the deeper he furrowed his brow, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Ye Moyan, seeing Mu Jingchen’s deeply furrowed brow, his usually cold demeanor couldn’t help but show a concerned look. He asked softly:

“What’s wrong? Did you encounter something troublesome?”

Mu Jingchen put down his phone and sighed heavily, his eyes filled with deep helplessness and exhaustion. For so many years, he didn’t know how many times he had been disappointed. It wasn’t a big deal this time.

But after searching for so many years, this girl named Su Xiwan was the one who looked most like their parents. When he asked someone to investigate Su Xiwan, he had high hopes, but the results were still disappointing.

Seeing his friend’s question, Mu Jingchen took a deep breath and told his friend about what happened today in detail. His voice was low and hoarse, as if carrying the weight and suppression of years.

Speaking of his sister, she was actually engaged to Ye Moyan. But where was his sister now? Was she living well? Mu Jingchen felt a renewed hatred for the human trafficker.

Ye Moyan listened attentively as his friend finished speaking. He remained silent for a moment. Speaking of the missing princess of the Mu family, Ye Moyan couldn’t help but lower his eyes, not wanting his friend to see anything.

During his last vacation, his mother, Chu Manxin, had urged him to get married. Ye Moyan had brushed her off by saying that he had a fiancée, which angered Chu Manxin. She glared at him and said:

“If your little fiancée is never found, are you not going to get married for the rest of your life?”

You know, Ye Moyan was only one year younger than Mu Jingchen but five years older than his fiancée. And they didn’t know when the Mu family’s child would be found. Chu Manxin wasn’t against her son fulfilling his marriage contract. It was just that her son was already over twenty. Did they have to wait forever just because the Mu family’s child couldn’t be found?

Ye Moyan looked at his mother helplessly. Every time he came back, he had to face being urged to get married. If he hadn’t come home to see his grandfather, he wouldn’t want to take a vacation back.

After Mu Jingchen finished talking about the investigation of Su Xiwan today, he took out the picture of Su Xiwan from the investigation report on his phone and said to Ye Moyan:

“Moyan, that girl’s age is also right. She looks more like my mom, but she also has some features of my dad. Do you think there could be such a coincidence in the world?”

Ye Moyan, looking at the beautiful face on the phone, couldn’t help but be stunned. The girl’s dazzling beauty and confident expression made people feel a little bright-eyed. Her beauty was not only in her delicate features but also in the unique aura that radiated from within.

Thinking about what his friend had just said, Ye Moyan also realized that the girl did look more like Aunt Jiang, but her eyes did have a similar charm to Uncle Mu.

Ye Moyan tapped his fingers on the table, the rhythm slow and regular, as if he was thinking about something. He looked up at Mu Jingchen and said:

“I think you should do a paternity test. Maybe she really is your sister.”

“That’s impossible. Look at the investigation report. It says she grew up in the Su family in Beijing. She was only recently kicked out of the Su family because she was switched at birth.” Mu Jingchen’s voice was tinged with doubt and uncertainty.

Ye Moyan, hearing Mu Jinghao say that the girl he just saw had been kicked out of the Su family, couldn’t help but frown slightly. Ignoring the slight discomfort in his heart, he picked up the investigation report on his phone again.

When he saw the part about the hospital where Su Xiwan was born and the date of her birth, he handed the phone to Mu Jingchen and said:

“Jingchen, look at the hospital and date of birth of this girl. Are they the same as your sister’s?”

Ye Moyan just felt that Su Xiwan looked like both Jiang Xingman and Mu Hongtao. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? If even the date of birth and the hospital where she was born matched, wouldn’t that be even more coincidental?

“Huh? The hospital where Su Xiwan was born is the same hospital where my mom gave birth to my sister! And the date of birth… they were born on the same day!”

Hearing his friend’s words, Ye Moyan felt that the possibility of the girl in the photo being his friend’s sister was even greater:

“The same hospital, born on the same day, and she was switched at birth, so is it possible that the little girl who was taken home by you was actually the real daughter of the Su family?”

Ye Moyan’s words were like a thunderbolt, shaking Mu Jingchen to his core. A wave of excitement and hope surged through his heart, as if he had seen a glimmer of light in the darkness.

Yes, how could he not have thought of this? Su Xiwan was switched at birth. Could it be that she was switched with their sister who was kidnapped?

Thinking about this, he looked at Ye Moyan and mumbled:

“Moyan, take me home.” His voice was filled with urgency and a tremor.

Ye Moyan raised his handsome eyebrows and said lightly:

“I remember you drove here today.”

Mu Jingchen looked at Ye Moyan and said excitedly:

“But now I feel like my whole body is trembling. I’m afraid I won’t be able to drive well. You take me back now. That, I want to go to my parents’ neighborhood.”

Ye Moyan looked at his friend with amusement. But he also understood why his friend was like this. After all, the Mu family had been searching for the little princess for over ten years. Now that there was finally some progress, it was no wonder his friend was excited.

So, Ye Moyan picked up the car keys from the side and, seeing the food that the waiter had just brought over, he knew that Mu Jinghao wouldn’t be able to eat it now. He stood up and said to Mu Jingchen:

“Let’s go. I’ll take you there.”

The Mu family hadn’t split up, but since their daughter was lost, Jiang Xingman’s mental state had been getting worse and worse. Later, for the sake of quiet recovery, she moved out of the old residence with Mu Hongtao.

Mu Jingchen got into Ye Moyan’s car. As the car started slowly, his mood gradually calmed down from the initial excitement. He couldn’t rush to his parents and tell them about this. Over the years, they had experienced too much hope and disappointment. And his mother, Jiang Xingman, couldn’t handle any more disappointment.

So, before anything was confirmed, he couldn’t let Jiang Xingman know. Thinking about this, Mu Jingchen took out his phone. After connecting the call, he asked:

“Hello, Dad, where are you now?”

Mu Hongtao, on the other end of the phone, was curious to receive a call from his son, but he still rubbed his weary brow and said:

“I just got out of a meeting. I’m still at the company.”

“Okay, Dad, I’ll go to the company later to find you. Wait for me at the company.”

After hanging up the phone with Mu Hongtao, Mu Jingchen said to Ye Moyan, who was driving:

“Moyan, go to my dad’s company.”

Ye Moyan nodded and replied, “Okay.” Then, he drove the car towards the Mu family’s company. When they arrived at the Mu family’s company, Ye Moyan said to Mu Jingchen, who was about to get out of the car: “Do you need me to wait for you here?”

Mu Jingchen shook his head slightly at Ye Moyan and said apologetically:

“No need. I was supposed to treat you to dinner today, but unexpectedly… Moyan, I’ll treat you to dinner another day!”

Hearing Mu Jingchen’s words, Ye Moyan waved his hand to Mu Jingchen after getting out of the car: “Okay, you go ahead.” Then, he drove the car out of Mu Jingchen’s sight.
