Chapter 357 Suspicion is Cheng Lin
Lu Congyue nodded slightly, quite satisfied.
His only goal was to get the matter registered with the Beijing Public Security Bureau.
That way things will be easier when the time comes.
After leaving the Public Security Bureau, Lu Congyue looked at the vast night sky, clenched his fist, and headed straight for the Commerce Bureau.
I was originally thinking of calling the Lu family in Beijing, but now I think it's unnecessary.
Making a phone call actually gives the other party time to prepare.
Upon arriving at the office, I wrote a leave slip and a letter of introduction for myself, stamped it, and then set off for the train station.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Shang Hua at the train station.
Shang Hua had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard these past few days, but seeing Lu Congyue cheered her up.
"Congyue, are you here to buy a ticket to the capital?"
Lu Congyue was slightly taken aback: "Sister Shang? What are you doing here? Are you also going to the capital?"
He saw that Shang Hua was carrying a suitcase.
Shang Hua nodded: "I have a suspicion. Let's go check it out. Do you know about it too?"
"Yes." Lu Congyue nodded. "I went to the police station to report the case."
Shang Hua was shocked.
"You reported them to the police? Cong Yue, those are your father and your brother. I know you don't want to acknowledge them, but you have to admit that their blood ties to you are inseparable. You reported them to the police, so they..."
Lu Congyue found it increasingly strange and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you go to Beijing because of something the police officers said?"
"What did you say?" Shang Hua asked, bewildered.
Lu Congyue rubbed his temples, looking troubled. "Sister Shang, it seems like we're talking about different things. Why did you go to the capital? Did you discover something?"
Shang Hua realized that the two had misunderstood each other, and smiled, "You're right, I was too hasty. Here's the thing, my dad suddenly called and scolded me, saying that Uncle Lu already has his eldest grandson, and scolded me for not giving him a grandson yet."
She gave a wry smile: "Let's not talk about that. Just talking about Uncle Lu's side, how come a grandson suddenly appeared? Uncle Lu even said that he looks a lot like him. He said that Lu Guoqiang was ignorant a few years ago and had a child with a woman. Now that woman is sick and has died, he only revealed the child."
"I felt something was off when I heard that. Cheng Lin looks like you and Uncle Lu, but Lu Guoqiang doesn't look like either of you. How could he have a child who looks just like you? They said the child is already over a year old, so I wondered if it could be Cheng Lin and wanted to go and confirm it."
After Shang Hua finished speaking, Lu Congyue felt completely at ease.
These past few days have been agonizing. I'm worried I won't be able to find my child, worried that he'll be hurt, and I can't sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I see my child with missing limbs, covered in blood, crying and calling for his parents.
He was a man; he couldn't cry, he could only hold it in, and he also had to comfort Zhuang Qingxiang and the other children.
In just a few days, he felt like he had aged more than ten years.
Even after learning that the child had been taken to the train to Beijing, and guessing that it might have been the Lu family in Beijing who were behind it, it was still just a guess, and her heart was still in suspense.
Now, after hearing Shang Hua's words, I am almost 100% certain that the child is with the Lu family in Beijing.
Lu Congyue felt completely at ease.
Now all you need to do is buy a ticket, take a nap, and bring your child back to Beijing.
"Congyue, why aren't you saying anything?" Shanghua asked, puzzled, seeing that Lu Congyue remained silent.
Lu Congyue snapped out of his daze and smiled, "Sister Shang, thank you for the information. I was just suspicious at first, but now that it's confirmed, I'll buy tickets and bring the child back right away."
"I'll go with you," Shang Hua sighed. "I lost the child while I was with him, and I've been feeling uneasy these past few days. I have to see Cheng Lin safe and sound with my own eyes."
Lu Congyue could tell that Shang Hua had become much more haggard in the past few days, with dark circles under his eyes, and he probably couldn't sleep at all.
He nodded: "Okay, let's go together."
We bought tickets for 8:30 tomorrow morning, so the two of us decided to stay up all night in the waiting room.
Seeing that his hands were empty, Shang Hua asked, "Aren't you going home to get your luggage? Or is that woman preventing you from going back?"
"I didn't go back," Lu Congyue explained. "Before things are settled, I don't want to tell Qingxiang too much, lest she worry even more."
"Ha, you seem to feel sorry for her, but I don't think she feels much sorry for you." Shang Hua curled her lip. "She's over thirty and still can't learn to be strong. She grew up in the countryside, but she insists on acting like a spoiled capitalist's daughter..."
Shang Hua became increasingly disdainful as he spoke.
She came from a military family and grew up by her father's side, learning to shed blood and sweat but not tears.
When something happens, solve the problem. What's the use of crying and fainting?
"We've been running around every day these past few days, searching everywhere for the child, while she's been relaxing at home, thinking that she can bring the child back by shedding a few tears?"
Shang Hua's words were really unpleasant. Even though Lu Congyue respected her greatly, he couldn't stand her talking about his wife like that.
"Sister Shang, don't talk about Qingxiang like that. It's normal for her to be distraught after losing her child. She wanted to go out and look for her child, but I knocked her unconscious and locked her in the house. She still has two children at home who need her care, and she can't afford to break down," Lu Congyue explained patiently.
Shang Hua became even more disdainful upon hearing this.
The other two children?
Those two children have no blood relation to Lu Congyue, so why bother with them?
Once Cheng Lin is found, she needs to have a good talk with Lu Congyue about this.
There's no need to keep raising other people's children forever!
"Don't even mention those two kids. I really don't understand what's going on in your head all day. Why did you adopt that kid named Donghua? Does he not only have no father, but also no mother?"
"Sister Shang..." Lu Congyue frowned, "Why bring this up? Donghua is great. He's my son now, and his future will only be better."
Shang Hua rolled her eyes in exasperation: "Stubborn to the end!"
Lu Congyue didn't want to argue with her, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, thinking about how to find the child after arriving in the capital.
Seeing that Lu Congyue was ignoring him, Shang Hua knew that his words had upset him, so he pouted and stopped talking.
No! We'll talk about it later.
Lu Congyue felt like he had just taken a nap, and when he opened his eyes, it was already daylight.
Shang Hua was still by his side, but now he had two lunchboxes and some fried dough sticks in his hands.
"Awake?" Shang Hua noticed that he had opened his eyes and immediately said, "I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you. Here, this is the food I just bought from the cafeteria. Now that you're awake, hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, it'll be about time to get on the bus."
Lu Congyue immediately sobered up and quickly took a lunchbox.
"Sister Shang, you should have woken me up... I can't trouble you."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Shang Hua called out crisply. "I'll treat you to breakfast; it won't cost much! Besides, haven't you troubled me enough before?"
Lu Congyue touched his nose and remained silent.
After finishing the meal, he volunteered to wash the dishes and immediately returned them to the kitchen.
After finishing my work, I arrived at the train I was supposed to board.
