"He was a plump little boy. He was so good that he only cried once from birth until I gave him away." Qin Hong said, lowering her head with self-reproach. "Perhaps it was because he was too good that I mistakenly determined he was dead."
"So it was a boy," Ye Ziyu murmured.
She had thought it was a girl, who would keep Qianqian company and be protected by Yuze and Xiaoran. He should have had a happy family, but now she didn't know where he was?
Ye Ziyu asked Qin Hong again, "What did that person look like? Can he give the child a happy life?"
Qin Hong thought carefully. "The man looked very wealthy, and his demeanor exuded nobility. Oh, his accent wasn't from the capital city. If I heard correctly, his Mandarin had intonations from the Si Jiucheng area."
"You said where?"
"Si Jiucheng."
Ye Ziyu excitedly grabbed Qin Hong's arm. She never expected that Si Bao's most likely location would be Si Jiucheng.
Did that mean they had been in the same place all along?
Ye Ziyu released Qin Hong's hand and hurried into the side room.
After she told Di Mingjue about this, Di Mingjue immediately arranged for Shen Lin to bring the people in the capital to Si Jiucheng.
The four of them sat in the living room, and Qin Hong recounted the events of that year to them word by word.
It seemed the other party was prepared, as if they knew beforehand that Ye Ziyu was going to have children, and that the child was Di Mingjue's. Then why take their child without threatening them for anything?
Or did they simply want to help raise the child?
Di Mingjue carefully recalled the past, wondering if he had any conflicts or business competition with people from Si Jiucheng.
The answer was no.
Di Jue Group's development had always been in the capital and abroad. As for the surrounding cities, apart from some cooperation, he would not proactively spread his business to them.
Why would that person take his child?
"Do you remember clearly which part of the hospital you gave the child to the other person?" Di Mingjue asked.
As long as it was within the hospital's surveillance range, it would be easy to find the records from that year.
Qin Hong shook her head, "I don't remember clearly. I was too nervous back then, always worried about being discovered by the hospital. I've forgotten how I handed the child over to them."
Actually, it wasn't entirely Qin Hong's fault. Ye Ziyu was anxious to be discharged from the hospital. She was worried that Di Mingjue would find out she had given birth to three children. She only gave one to Shen Lin and took the other two abroad.
Who knew that in her haste, she didn't even have time to look at Si Bao again.
Fortunately, Si Bao was still alive and was in Si Jiucheng.
"Mingjue, let's go back," Ye Ziyu said.
She wanted to ask Ye Qianzhi for help. The Ye family could cover the sky in Si Jiucheng, and it shouldn't be difficult to find a child.
Seeing them about to leave, Qin Hong suddenly remembered, "I don't know if this will be useful to you."
"Tell me."
"When the child was taken out, the forceps accidentally pinched his leg. There's a red mark there. It's about the size of a child's clenched fist." Qin Hong said.
This information was already useful to them.
Ye Ziyu pressed her further, "Think again, do you have any other impressions? For example, did he have double eyelids or single eyelids, a high nose bridge or a low nose bridge?"
Facing her questions, Qin Hong shook her head helplessly, "You can't see a newborn's features clearly. Their appearance changes after they grow. I really can't remember these things."
So many babies were born every day, and newborns looked so similar. She really couldn't remember clearly.
Ye Ziyu lowered her head in disappointment. She was too anxious. After learning about a birthmark, she thought Qin Hong would know more clues about Si Bao.
