Xiao Yongze finished explaining the situation and then left the Xiao Group with Song Jiaxi to go to the police station to record their witness statements.

The maternity nurse had already been sent back to First Hospital for recuperation by Liu Assistant and his team earlier that morning.

"Officer Shi, my daughter was buried in the cemetery in the suburb outside the western ring road. When can we..."

Xiao Yongze did not finish his sentence, but Officer Shi understood what he meant and nodded, "Don't worry. We have examined all the evidence you submitted. We have sent people to question the maternity nurse at First Hospital.

She is in a decent condition. After admitting the facts, she went with our officers to identify the burial site."

Officer Shi glanced at the clock, "If all goes well, we should find the body soon."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yongze and Song Jiaxi felt tense. Xiao Yongze tightly held Song Jiaxi's hand, as if transferring strength to her.

Suddenly remembering something, Xiao Yongze said, "Oh, Officer Shi, my parents died in a car accident nineteen years ago. I suspect it may be related to Xiao Wenyao, but I'm not sure. I hope you can investigate it."

Officer Shi frowned, "That incident happened nineteen years ago. If it wasn't identified as a homicide back then, it would be even harder to investigate now.

I'll check the case files. If there are any suspicions, it may still be possible to deal with it. But if we can't find substantial evidence, the case will have to be closed."

Xiao Yongze nodded understandingly, "I understand. Regardless, thank you."

At that moment, Officer Shi's phone rang.

"Hello?"

It's unclear what was said on the other end, but Officer Shi glanced at the couple and said calmly into the phone:

"Okay, got it."

Officer Shi hung up and told the couple, "The child's remains have been found and are being transported here. We'll need to do a DNA test."

Xiao Yongze's throat felt dry as he forced out a word, "Okay."

The two sat on the bench, comforting and encouraging each other. But when they saw the small pile of white bones, Song Jiaxi couldn't help but cover her mouth and sob.

An infant not even a month old, the coroner pieced together the small, white bones into a tiny bundle that had not yet opened its eyes to see the world before disappearing from it.

Next to the remains were some partially decayed cloth, with faint patterns indicating it was the baby bundle that Song Jiaxi had sewn herself.

Xiao Yongze held Song Jiaxi in his arms, closing his eyes and unable to look further.

It took a while for them to stabilize their emotions.

"The DNA test results may take some time. We'll notify you when they're ready."

Xiao Yongze nodded, "Okay. Thank you, Officer Shi."

As the couple was about to leave, Xiao Yongze suddenly remembered something and turned to Officer Shi, "Officer Shi, I suggest getting a DNA test done on the maternity nurse as well."

Officer Shi frowned, not understanding Xiao Yongze's meaning.

Xiao Yongze quickly explained to Officer Shi about the possibility of the babies being switched and their suspicions.

"You mean this child could be yours or the maternity nurse's daughter-in-law's child?"

Xiao Yongze nodded, "Yes, it's just a guess, but since we're doing the tests, we might as well include the maternity nurse's. I'll also arrange for a test to be done on Mengmeng later."

Officer Shi understood, "Okay, got it. I'll make the arrangements."

It was dark outside when the couple left the police station.

Song Jiaxi sat exhaustedly in the passenger seat, her voice weak.

"Husband, do you think we're just trying to comfort ourselves?"

She then scoffed, "We lost our daughter over a decade ago, and now we're fantasizing about our biological child being alive based on a guess. What if our guess is wrong? Wouldn't that make us even sadder than before?"

As Xiao Yongze drove, he placed his free hand on Song Jiaxi's to comfort her.

"Don't think too much, dear. Whether our guess is right or wrong, we still have to live our lives well.

If our guess is correct, we're fortunate to have a family reunion. If it's wrong, we'll still be us and can treat it as if we never had that fantasy.

Plus, we can still accept Mengmeng as our goddaughter. That doesn't sound too bad, does it?" f𝐫𝗲eweb𝗻o𝐯el.𝚌o𝗺

Song Jiaxi turned to look at Xiao Yongze, her previous melancholy gone. "You're right, husband. So to make up for my worries earlier, let's go have hot pot!"

Xiao Yongze smiled indulgently, "Okay, okay, whatever my wife wants. Husband will take you wherever you want to eat!"

On the other side, at Hai City University.

Ye Jinmeng and Xu Wanwan hugged the box back to their dorm room, eager to open it and see if there were any "treasures" inside.

Ye Jinmeng had always been obsessed with unboxing blind boxes, anticipating the unknown.

Opening the box, the contents were a jumbled mess with all sorts of things inside.

Money, jewelry, photos, a nurse's license, needles and thread...

The only thing that might contain a secret was the thick notebook.

Xu Wanwan picked up the notebook and flipped through a page. It didn't seem like a diary without dates, but it did appear to be recording some events.

The two girls exchanged a glance and began reading through it, sitting on the bed with their heads together.

The first dozen or so pages were about events encountered while working at First Hospital in Hai City and the sweet memories of dating Xu Gang.

Later entries were about being pregnant.

(Today during the check-up, I unexpectedly ran into Hai City's richest man, Xiao Yongze! He was accompanying his wife for her prenatal check-up. They're so sweet, I'm really envious. My husband never accompanies me like that!)

(Not only did I run into Xiao Yongze today, but I also bumped into Hai City's second-richest man, Ye Junwen! They were both accompanying their wives for check-ups. That's amazing!)

(It's great to be rich. Seeing the wealthy Xiao Yongze spend so generously on his wife, with servants taking care of her, I'm really jealous. Having a check-up is so expensive for me. This is just unfair. If only my husband were rich too...)

(Sigh, my husband got fired again today. With no income source, how can I raise a child on just my salary alone!)

(I'm so furious, that bastard Xu Gang has been unemployed for over a month and still hasn't gone out to look for a job. He just idles around all day, this is no way to live!)

...

These were just plain recordings of the bittersweet experiences of life. Back then, Yu Huiying was like many ordinary working people, envying the luxurious lives of the rich and complaining about her own unsatisfactory situation.

Until they saw the next entry, Xu Wanwan and Ye Jinmeng immediately perked up.
