Chapter 183: My Daughter (44)
Chapter 183: My Daughter (44)
As early as when Gong Shugen mentioned Xue Jin's name through Yin Heng's mouth, the police had sent people to keep an eye on him in secret.
Seeing that Xue Jin was about to escape, the police arrested him that afternoon.
He confessed because he was too scared even before the DNA test was done.
At this point, the truth is revealed.
Jingxiong Shopping Mall was forcibly closed three days after its opening. Xue De also declared bankruptcy due to debts and became a deadbeat because he was unable to repay his debts.
Gong Shugen was awarded the title of "hero for bravely doing what is right" because he removed the flammable materials in time and saved the lives of people in an entire building.
His child can receive free treatment, and his future study and life problems will be completely solved.
As for Xue Jin, although he did not commit intentional homicide, he was guilty of negligent homicide and caused serious consequences, so he was sentenced to 7 years in prison.
Because Yin Heng disregarded his own safety to help Gong Shugen discover the truth, he gained a large number of fans online. Not long after, he was invited by some big brands to do live streaming to sell goods, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.
With only a few days left until the Chinese New Year, the streets are bustling with activity.
At this time of year in previous years, Ji Chu would be extremely busy, because the underworld was short-staffed and she would be transferred to supervise. She also had to distribute the things burned by their relatives to the dead souls.
Now that I've been thrown into the River of Oblivion, I can take some time off.
Moreover, the original owner's biological parents and adoptive parents had already passed away, so Ji Chu felt relieved that he didn't have to rush back to his hometown.
Seeing that she had so much free time that it felt unreal, Ji Chu was considering whether to broadcast a few more shows to enrich herself when Zhong Lin sent her a message.
"Miss Ji, I have an old friend who has been a little troubled recently. I heard that you are a very powerful master of metaphysics, and I want to offer you 100 million for a divination. I wonder if you are willing?"
When he saw the 100 million, Ji Chu sat up from the bed.
"Yes, I do!"
It is so great to have money in this world. Not only can it satisfy your own appetite, but it can also bring hope to those poor mountainous areas.
Of the money earned before the beginning of the season, except for the part necessary to maintain his own life, all the rest was donated just like the original owner.
But she didn't feel bad at all, because the money became street lights to illuminate the way home, wide and neat cement roads, schools, salaries for teachers in mountainous areas, and sanitary napkins to protect the health of girls...
Her master taught her to love the world, and now she has finally achieved it!
Soon, Ji Chu arrived at the address given by Zhong Lin. She thought that a family that could pay 100 million must be a wealthy family, but when she arrived, she found that it was just a simple old-fashioned residential building, and there was not even an elevator.
Ji Chu knocked on the door wearing a mask and a hat. A 50-year-old auntie who still had charm opened the door for her.
She wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked kind and intellectual.
Seeing the person coming, she asked politely, "Are you the Pen Anchor?"
Ji Chu nodded and responded: "It's me, Zhong Lin gave me the address, and I just went there rashly!"
"It was clearly me who asked you to do this, so how can you be considered rash? If I had to be rash, it would be me who disturbed you!" Auntie said as she welcomed Ji Chu into the house.
The house is not luxuriously decorated, but it looks very tidy.
"Please come sit in the study room. It's sunny and warm inside!"
When Ji Chu entered the study, he saw several large bookcases filled with law-related books and some documents.
Near the window, there is a banner with the words "Respect the law and morality, safeguard rights and people's livelihood" written on it.
It can be seen that there must be people working in the legal field in this family!
As he was watching, his aunt brought in a pot of hot tea and poured a cup for Ji Chu.
"Host, please sit down!"
As soon as Ji Chu sat down, he saw the aunt handed over a card: "This is the previously agreed divination fee, 100 million, the anchor can go to the bank to check it first."
Ji Chu waved his hand: "No, I believe you!"
Ruan Yuxiang smiled and said, "Yes, the host is a master of metaphysics. He can definitely calculate whether there is money in this card."
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Ruan Yuxiang!"
"I came to you this time because I want you to help me figure out where my daughter is. She's missing!"
Ji Chu saw that the family's behavior was a bit complicated. She didn't want to say it directly, so she simply asked back: "Have you called the police?"
Before she could say anything, Ruan Yuxiang sighed heavily: "If I could solve it, I wouldn't have asked Zhong Lin to find you and spend another 100 million to buy your divination!"
"Actually, I called the police before looking for you, but my daughter can always prove that she is still there."
Ji Chu tilted his head slightly, his expression somewhat shocked: "This word 'always' is a bit intriguing. Besides, since your daughter can prove her existence, doesn't that mean she is not missing?"
Ruan Yuxiang shook her head: "That's not the problem. I haven't seen my daughter for nearly 10 years!"
"Year 10?"
Ruan Yuxiang frowned and said, "Yes, 10 years. In the past 10 years, we have actually called each other and occasionally video chatted, but I always felt that something was wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Ruan Yuxiang looked down at the family portrait on the desk: "I don't think that's my daughter!"
Ji Chu followed Ruan Yuxiang's line of sight and saw a photo of a family of four.
The photo is in Chinese style. Ruan Yuxiang is wearing a cheongsam and sitting in the front row with her husband who is wearing a Tang suit. Behind them are her son and daughter who are also wearing cheongsam and Tang suits.
Judging from the appearance of the son and daughter, they should be twins. Except for their different hairstyles and heights, their looks are almost exactly the same.
Ruan Yuxiang took the photo and stroked it carefully: "My son and daughter are twins. Although they look exactly the same, their personalities are completely different!"
"My son, like his father, has excellent grades since childhood. He ranks among the top students in school and has won many awards. My daughter is not as good as her brother in terms of study. She didn't catch up until she was in high school. Later, she worked hard and finally got admitted to an undergraduate program."
"But no matter how good or bad their grades are, they are still my children!"
After Ruan Yuxiang finished speaking, she hugged the photo tightly in her arms.
Ji Chu looked at the banner opposite and asked, "Aunt Ruan's husband should be engaged in legal work, right?"
Aunt Ruan smiled gently and said, "Yes, my husband was a prosecutor when he was alive. That silk banner was given to him by a person involved in a very complicated case he was investigating."
"He spent his entire life working on cases, and finally died suddenly at his post."
Ji Chu apologized: "I'm sorry for mentioning Aunt Ruan's sad story."
Ruan Yuxiang waved her hands: "It's all in the past. There's nothing to apologize for."
Ji Chu stood up and walked to another shelf full of awards. He pointed at a medal and asked, "Aunt Ruan's son is called Gan Zheng?"
