Chapter 128
"Mr. Ye, I have gathered the information you asked me to look into. The paternity test report is indeed from a legitimate testing institution, and all the data can be traced," said Old Zhang, who used to be Ye Junli's assistant and had previously served as an assistant to Ye's father. A couple of years ago, he had applied for early retirement and then opened a private civil and commercial investigation firm, also known as a "private detective agency."
Upon hearing this, Ye Junli's fingers tightened.
Old Zhang continued, "According to the investigation on Ms. Xu Wanwan, her mother, Yu Huiying, had previously worked as a nurse at the Hai City First Hospital, where she gave birth to a daughter.
On the day of the delivery, there were two other expectant mothers who also gave birth to baby girls. These two pregnant women were Mrs. Gu Qi, your wife, and Mrs. Song Jiaxi, the wife of Mr. Xiao Yongze."
"The newborns were all placed in the same nursery ward. Due to the long time that has passed, we could only find some relevant medical records in the hospital's archives. However, whether the babies were intentionally swapped remains to be investigated."
"It's worth noting that Yu Huiying left the hospital the day after giving birth, citing poor health as the reason for her voluntary resignation. She then returned to her hometown in Linyun City, and the couple supported themselves by doing odd jobs."
Although there is no direct evidence that the children were switched, Yu Huiying's haste in leaving the hospital, where she had a much better job as a nurse than doing odd jobs, clearly suggests she had done something unethical.
However, while the paternity test report is genuine, it doesn't necessarily mean that the samples used for testing were not tampered with. Therefore, a new paternity test must be conducted.
Contemplating this, Ye Junli made up his mind.
"Old Zhang, have you found out who the mysterious person was?"
Old Zhang shook his head, "I couldn't identify them. They had clearly made thorough preparations, and after following the surveillance trail into a shopping mall, all traces of them were lost."
"However, I have a hunch..." Old Zhang hesitated.
"What hunch?"
"Do you think it could be Zhen Kechuan? After all, he's a master of disguise, and the criminal investigation department hasn't been able to find him for years. Now that Mr. Ye Junwen is with him, could it be related to them?"
Upon hearing Old Zhang's speculation, Ye Junli felt a chill. If it really was them, what was their motive?
For the company's management rights? But their appearance would undoubtedly attract the attention of the police, making the company's management rights useless.
For money? Zhen Kechuan certainly wasn't short on money. And what did all this have to do with a paternity test?
Ye Junli couldn't figure it out. He rubbed his brow and said, "I understand, Old Zhang. Let's leave it at that for now. Thank you."
"You're welcome," Old Zhang said nothing more and left the Ye Group after bidding farewell.
After pondering for a while in his office chair, Ye Junli grabbed his coat and left the company, driving to the hospital.
At the hospital...
Ye Jinmeng was sitting by Ye Jinchen's bedside, munching on an apple.
"Brother, I have only two more days until school starts, and I have to take make-up exams. It's going to be so tiring!" she whined.
Ye Jinchen tapped her head and laughed, "You're complaining even before the exams? You've been home for two months. Aren't you well-rested enough?"
Ye Jinmeng grumbled, "I was recovering from my injuries, not resting."
Ye Jinchen rolled his eyes at her. "Okay, okay, Jinmeng is the most hardworking one. When you go back to school, study diligently and review thoroughly. If you fail even one subject, you'll be banned from eating meat for a week."
Ye Jinmeng's eyes widened in disbelief. She was no longer her brother's beloved little treasure!
Xu Wanwan couldn't help but giggle. "Jinmeng, have faith in your abilities. You definitely won't have to go without meat."
Ye Jinmeng considered this and realized it was true. The courses from last semester were too simple for her, and exams were just a "piece of cake." She immediately cheered up and continued munching on her apple.
At that moment, Ye Junli walked in.
"You're all here!" Ye Junli greeted the group with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Ye," Xu Wanwan responded politely.
Ye Junli looked at Xu Wanwan, his expression clouded with uncertainty.
"Dad, you're here. Isn't the company busy?" Ye Jinchen asked, sensing his father must have some important matter since he visited during working hours.
Ye Junli snapped out of his daze. "Oh, I happened to be discussing business nearby, so I stopped by to see you."
Ye Junli turned to Ye Jinmeng and said gently, "Good girl, Daddy forgot the fruit he brought for your brother in the trunk. Could you go get it for Daddy?"
Ye Jinmeng nodded, "Sure, I'll go get it."
Ye Junli stroked her head, subtly plucking a few strands of her hair and hiding them in his palm. "Good girl."
Ye Jinmeng felt a slight sting on her scalp but didn't think much of it. She turned and left the room.
"Wanwan, I'll go with you," Xu Wanwan said, about to follow.
"Wanwan, let her go alone. Why don't you keep us company for a bit?" Ye Junli smiled warmly.
"Yeah, Wanwan, you don't need to go with me. It'll only take a few minutes. I'll be back soon," Ye Jinmeng chimed in. "Wanwan is really clingy, isn't she? I wonder if Brother Ting will get jealous of her."
Xu Wanwan had no choice but to nod.
Ye Jinchen sensed that his father had intentionally sent Jinmeng away to discuss the paternity test matter. After ensuring Ye Jinmeng had left the room, he asked in a low voice, "Dad, have you found something?"
Ye Junli nodded and turned to face Xu Wanwan.
Feeling nervous under his gaze, Xu Wanwan tentatively asked, "Mr. Ye, is there something you want to say?"
Ye Junli sighed, "Wanwan, don't be nervous. I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Xu Wanwan asked politely.
Ye Junli took out his phone, found the photo of the paternity test in his gallery, and handed it to Xu Wanwan. She widened her eyes in surprise as she accepted the phone.
"A mysterious person secretly sent this paternity test report. I had someone investigate it, and the report is genuine. However, there are doubts about your background."
"So I want to ask, would you be willing to take a paternity test with me?"
Ye Jinchen didn't expect his father to be so direct about it and gulped.
Actually, Ye Junli had initially planned to simply discuss the investigation results with Ye Jinchen and figure out how to gently break the news to Wanwan and Jinmeng, so they could accept it more easily.
I didn't expect to see Ye Jinmeng and Xu Wanwan right away. My mind instantly didn't want to drag things out any longer, but I was also afraid of hurting Ye Jinmeng's feelings, so I smoothly sent her away and talked to Xu Wanwan about this matter first.
Xu Wanwan had long stopped agonizing over the issue of acknowledging kinship. Just being lifelong good friends with Ye Jinmeng was quite nice, after all, the Ye family had treated her very well, so whether they acknowledged their kinship or not wasn't that big of a deal.
However, she didn't expect the paternity test to suddenly appear, which caught Xu Wanwan a bit off guard.
