Shen You’an watched as Na Amo got into the taxi.
The harsh winter wind swept in, chilling to the bone.
A low-key black sedan stopped in front of Shen You’an.
Shen You’an opened the front passenger door and got in.
"I noticed that Professor Na seed absent-minded when he ca out. What did you say?"
Xiang Chenyu skillfully turned the steering wheel, rging the car into the main road, lost in the evening rush hour traffic.
"Nothing much, just a little reminder."
Shen You’an already had the paternity test results, confirming that Rong Xianning was not Zhou Rong’s biological son.
As for whether Rong Xianning and Gu Bichen were the samples mixed up, further investigation was needed.
She glanced at Xiang Chenyu driving and pondered before asking, "Chenyu, has anything major happened in the Gu family over these years?"
Rather than conducting a blind investigation, it was better to directly ask Xiang Chenyu. As soone from a family of police officers, she would have the most comprehensive and accurate information.
As a police officer, Xiang Chenyu had a keen sense of sll. From Shen You’an’s brief question, she sensed sothing unusual, but she didn’t ask more and instead followed Shen You’an’s line of thought.
"What do you an by ’major’?"
"Sixteen years ago, around the ti of Professor Na’s childbirth."
Sixteen years ago, Xiang Chenyu was only in her early teens; how could she rember clearly?
After thinking for a while, Xiang Chenyu did recall sothing: "On the night Professor Na gave birth sixteen years ago, the Gu family called the police, saying that Elder Mrs. Gu’s great-niece was suspected of maliciously swapping the Gu family’s newborn. It was my brother who handled the case. At that ti, I was mischievous and liked sneaking into my brother’s study to play. I overheard him reporting to his superior on the phone."
Shen You’an’s eyes shone with interest, patiently asking, "Elder Mrs. Gu’s great-niece, wasn’t that Mrs. Xu, Yao Huia? She maliciously swapped the Gu family’s newborn?"
"At that ti, Professor Na and Yao Huia gave birth around the sa ti. I don’t know the exact details; my brother didn’t say much. But based on my guess, Yao Huia bribed the Gu family’s maid to swap her son with Professor Na’s newborn son when Professor Na was at her weakest. At that ti, the Xu family was a small household, so the status of the eldest sons of the two families was vastly different. Maybe this also urged Yao Huia’s malicious audacity. The maid turned against her at the critical mont and reported Yao Huia’s cri to the Gu family. Elder Mrs. Gu was furious and imdiately called the police to punish Yao Huia. Fortunately, the plot wasn’t successful, and because of her late sister’s mory, Elder Mrs. Gu let Yao Huia go. Later, Elder Mrs. Gu didn’t want to make it public and let people laugh at the Gu family, so she approached my brother and suppressed the incident, prohibiting any leaks."
Shen You’an hadn’t expected that she really asked the right person—Xiang Chenyu turned out to be the only outsider who knew the truth about the Gu family’s swap sixteen years ago.
"So, sixteen years ago, Gu Bichen and Xu Shaokang were almost swapped? How can we prove that Gu Bichen is Professor Na’s biological son? What if there’s more behind the scenes?"
Xiang Chenyu smiled slightly: "As soon as the child was brought back, the Gu family imdiately conducted a paternity test to confirm it. Elder Mrs. Gu only forgave Yao Huia after being sure. Otherwise, do you think the Gu family would have spared Yao Huia?"
Shen You’an furrowed her brow in deep thought: "That maid is the key figure. What was her na?"
Xiang Chenyu shook her head: "Even though she turned against her master at the critical mont, her betrayal was established. The Gu family definitely couldn’t keep her. She was dismissed later, and I really don’t know her na. My brother knew the inside story the best, but unfortunately..."
Her brother died in the line of duty over a decade ago.
Xiang Chenyu turned to ask, "Have you discovered sothing suspicious about Gu Bichen’s lineage?"
Shen You’an thought to herself, as expected from a criminal detective, her mind turns quickly.
"Let’s wait and see. There’s no conclusive evidence yet."
Xiang Chenyu raised an eyebrow: "If you need my help, just let know."
"Definitely."
Shen You’an suspected that Zhou Rong was the maid from the Gu family back then. To uncover the truth, the most direct and accurate thod would be to conduct a paternity test for Na Amo and Rong Xianning. The scientific results don’t lie, and all conspiracies would collapse then.
However, such a matter coming from an outsider like her would inevitably be offensive. She respected Professor Na, so she hoped Professor Na would discover this and initiate the investigation herself.
The seed of doubt had been sown, hoping it would blossom and bear fruit soon.
"By the way, Yu Fusheng went to Qingzhou. That’s your hotown. Is he up to anything against you?"
