The person still didn’t say anything, pulling another photo out of his pocket and placing it on the table in front of Gu’s dad.
Gu’s dad glanced at it again, initially not realizing what he was seeing.
After a while, he noticed sothing odd about the two photos.
Speaking of which, Gu’s dad was so shocked at the first photo because the person in the photo was his son, Gu Sheng. This was a photo of Gu Sheng taken at the Gu Family’s doorsteps, wearing a backpack and a red scarf around his neck before he left the Gu Family while he was in elentary school.
Such a photo could only exist in the ticulously kept photo albums of Gu’s mom at the Gu Family. Gu’s dad had no idea how the stranger got hold of his son’s photo.
As for the second photo handed over by the opposite man, it was also a photo of a boy in elentary school. The difference was that the boy in the photo was in a suit, with handcrafted noble leather shoes, standing in front of a seemingly prestigious school.
Were it not for the completely different attire and background in the two photos, Gu’s dad might have believed this was a photoshopped version of his son Gu Sheng’s photo transford into another picture. Because the faces of the two boys were identical, with facial features almost indistinguishable, they could be confused for each other.
Faced with Gu’s dad’s panicked expression, the man across the table slowly started to speak: "Your son was born in September."
"Yes."
"Look at the date on the back of the second photo; it’s his birth date."
Gu’s dad turned to the back of the second photo and saw a string of calendar numbers, which upon seeing, shocked him—it was the sa date as his son’s.
"Who is this person?" Gu’s dad already sensed that sothing was amiss with the whole situation.
"In this world, many people look alike, but coincidences like this catch one off guard, right?"
"Who do you say this person is?" Gu’s dad pointed at the person in the second photo, asking earnestly.
The man let out a series of laughs from his throat, clearly realizing Gu’s dad’s mind was racing; he must have thought of the person who ca to take his son away—they may have lied.
Back then, the person said that the one who took Gu Sheng claid that his boss’s wife was childless and therefore very distressed, always hoping to find a child to raise. Seeing Gu Sheng, he felt sympathetic and decided to rescue this child, under the condition that the Gu Family relinquished him.
Gu’s dad didn’t doubt the opposite person at all at the ti because he was helpless with the enormous dical expenses for his son. So long as soone was willing to save his son, he was willing to do anything.
Suppose the opposite person never truly intended to rescue his son Gu Sheng; their motives were not pure, and their purpose was sothing else—
Gu’s dad dared not think further, beads of cold sweat dripping down his head.
"I can tell you who this person is," the man opposite said, "This person’s last na is Ou; he is a young master of the Ou Family. Moreover, coincidentally, he wasn’t born at his family’s house."
"What—what are you saying?"
"I ask you, when your wife gave birth to this child, was it a difficult labor?"
It was indeed true that Gu’s mom’s second child was born with complications. The county hospital couldn’t handle it. At that ti, Gu’s dad accompanied his wife on an ambulance to a larger city nearby for ergency treatnt.
"On the sa day, the young master of the Ou Family, coincidentally, was also born in that sa hospital, just like your wife."
Gu’s dad’s mind was completely muddled.
"Here’s what, if you have any doubts, I suggest you could ask the relevant individuals, such as the young master Ou’s biological mother, Mrs. Ou. By the way, don’t you find it strange how people can look so alike?"
