"Researching Southwest Hospitalâs records?" Hearing the order from his superior, Xiao Wang was slightly surprised.
Huo Shiqian nodded slightly and said, "Correct. Look up the hospital recordsâ20 years ago, around the time when the Ou Familyâs âOu Jiaoâ Miss was born, whether there were other babies born in the Southwest Army Hospital?"
"As well as whether these babies were male or female, what their parentsâ full names were, and where they lived."
In short, the task was to inspect the hospital records from 20 years ago meticulously.
"Yes, understood!" Xiao Wang responded.
After all, having worked with Huo Shiqian for a long time, Xiao Wang was quite familiar with the affairs of the Capital City families.
Thus, hearing his superiorâs command, Xiao Wang knew that his group leader was helping Deputy Ou and his people.
After giving instructions to Xiao Wang, Huo Shiqianâs gaze traveled through the window to the distance.
At this moment, the train Xia Chuyi was on should have already reached L Province, right?
Huo Shiqian knew that Chuyiâs return to Ling County was entirely because of Mother Xiaâeven though Chuyi and her mother were not close at all, with Mother Xia breaking her leg, as a daughter, she could only go back.
Thinking of this, Huo Shiqian slightly narrowed his eyes and thought: By the time Chuyi arrives in Ling County, the information from Southwest should already be investigated, right?
His own girl, he cared for deeply.
What Huo Shiqian had told Ou Jun before was completely true.
If Chuyi turned out not to be a Xia Family child, Huo Shiqian would only feel genuine happiness for his girl.
At this very moment, Xia Chuyi on the train had no idea that in both the Capital City and the SouthwestâOu Jun and Huo Shiqian were both busy with her affairs.
Due to the hurried journey, coupled with having been on the train for several days, even though they were in sleeper berths, both Xia Chengzong and Xia Chuyi looked rather tired.
"Chuyi, Iâm sorry." Seeing his sisterâs weary face, Xia Chengzong felt very apologetic and said, "Itâs all my fault. I didnât handle things well, which resulted in Mother getting hurt."
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, "Brother, this was the eldersâ doing, not yours to blame."
Following that, Xia Chengzong also shook his head and said, "No, Chuyi, you donât understand. My mom... that is, elder aunt, and the conflict with Mom, it all started because of me. Without me, there wouldnât have been such issues."
Xia Chuyi slightly raised her eyebrows.
She roughly understood the implication of her brotherâs wordsâthe conflict between elder aunt and her mother largely stemmed from the issue of adopting a "son."
"Brother, itâs really not your fault," Xia Chuyi spoke seriously all of a sudden, "The conflicts between the various factions within the Xia Family had already emerged, and if they didnât erupt now, they would have someday."
In her previous life, under the weight of various issues, Mother Xia had also nearly died of depression.
"And the idea of adoption was first brought up by me," Xia Chuyi said, "If you blame yourself, tracing back to the root, would this conflict be my fault then?"
Hearing this, Xia Chengzong hurriedly said, "Youâre not wrong, it has nothing to do with you!"
Xia Chuyi smiled and replied, "Youâre not wrong either, and it has even less to do with you."
After their conversation, both of them felt much better.
Several days later, they finally arrived in Ling County.
On the day they reached Ling County, in the Capital City, Ou Jun finally received the reply from Huo Shiqian, who was in the Southwest.
"At the Southwest Military Hospital, on the same year, month, and day as Ou Jiaoâs birth, there indeed was a Xia Chuyi."
