Chapter 1512: Childhood Memories
"Dad, who are you talking to on the phone, so angry. β
Bai Mo turned his head to look at his daughter: "Xinya, do you want to go out?"
"Well, Sister Yiru and Sister Ruyi asked me out to play. β
"Then you go, be careful on the road, I'll let Xiao Chen go with you." β
"No, that's your bodyguard, I don't want it. Bai Xinya said and fled from the door.
Bai Mo smiled and shook his head, in the past two days, he has always been thinking about that child in his heart.
He always felt that the child had something to do with him, but no matter how much he racked his brains, he couldn't think of a reason.
Bai Mo thought for a while, and then picked up the phone: "Hey, Ms. Liu Rongmei?" Hello, we met at the last charity gala, my surname is Bai, it's like this, I want to donate 1 million RMB...... Don't get me wrong, I'm not kidding, and I'm not trying to launder money...... I know this, but the main thing is to adopt a child......"
"Of course...... Of course, I will transfer my identity and household registration certificate to you later, do I still need to go there in person...... Well, okay...... So be it, I'll be going to the Charity Orphanage in the near future. β
Bai Mo actually didn't want to set foot in the Renai Orphanage again, because there, he always felt a kind of depression.
Of course, his purpose is not to adopt a child, he is actually mainly to get detailed information, he wants to see if Liu Rongmei has any reservations.
However, Liu Rongmei said that the adoption of orphans must have detailed identification and household registration certificates, as well as work certificates, income certificates, etc., and must also be there in person. It is not allowed to be handled between two places.
This is also an explicit provision in the law. Adoption of orphaned children is not permitted. Prevent orphanages and some criminals from abducting and trafficking children.
Of course, a person like Bai Mo is a WZ person, and it is allowed to go to SH to adopt an orphan, as long as his information is okay, after all, the purpose of the orphanage's existence is not only to sponsor orphans, but also to hope that they can have a family.
Bai Mo, a person with a lot of money, is still favored by orphanages, and orphanages hope for the happiness of adopted orphans. It is also desirable that families who adopt orphans will not be financially pressured.
It's not that he doesn't believe the private detective Han Xiang he is looking for, but because Han Xiang always has a bad problem, that is, no matter how big or small, he always likes to get to the bottom of it, so Bai Mo plans to give up Han Xiang's line if he can find clues on his side.
However, as a professional private detective, it is impossible for Han Xiang to lose to Bai Mo.
For him, people only existed. Then he will surely leave clues, just as a man leaves a trail when he walks through a swamp.
"Hello. May I ask if you are Miss Li Qingyuan?"
Li Qingyuan raised her head, looked at a handsome young man standing at the door, with a camera on her chest, and helped her glasses: "I'm Li Qingyuan, remove the young lady...... You're a field correspondent for our newspaper?"
"This is my business card. Han Xiang walked into the office and handed over a business card.
Han Xiang, a private detective, undertakes follow-up investigations, assists the police in handling cases, and investigates marital disputes. Li Qingyuan looked at Han Xiang again: "I know you." β
"Oh, Li Da Mei knows about me?" Han Xiang looked at Li Qingyuan in surprise.
"A few days ago, you helped the police solve a smuggling case, and our newspaper reporter wanted to interview you, but you said that you were charged by the hour. Li Qingyuan's tone became quite unkind.
Han Xiang touched his nose: "Hehe...... Actually, I don't like to report...... I still prefer TV. β
"Then Detective Han, may I ask why you are here for our little Xindu Daily?"
"I wonder if I'm lucky enough to be able to invite Miss Li to dinner?"
"Can you call it normal?"
"You won't let me call you Miss ......" Han Xiang looked at Li Qingyuan helplessly, but Li Qingyuan's eyes shot a murderous aura, and Han Xiang reluctantly compromised: "Okay, okay, Editor-in-Chief Li, this can always be done." β
"Business or private?"
"For Editor-in-Chief Li, it's a private matter, but for me, it's a business matter. β
"I'm sorry, I'm still at work, and I don't talk about personal matters. β
"Then when will Editor-in-Chief Li get off work?"
"My personal time is chargeable. Li Qingyuan is obviously still haunted by what happened last time.
"That's right...... I don't know what the fee standard of Editor-in-Chief Li is?"
"It's expensive. β
"Excuse me, how much time can this money buy you?" Han Xiang put a stack of hundred-yuan bills on Li Qingyuan's desk.
"You know that for a journalist, your behavior is enough to make you notorious, and I have a hundred ways to turn you into a street rat. β
"Editor-in-Chief Li, I came to you very sincerely, please don't let me down. β
"You put away the money first, and let's talk about what you're looking for me to do. β
A confident smile appeared on Han Xiang's face: "Editor-in-Chief Li, I have investigated you...... You're an orphan. β
Li Qingyuan raised her eyebrows, and her tone had become unkind: "You investigate me!?"
"Don't be so excited, to be precise, it's not about you, it's about other people who happen to see you and other orphans of the same period. β
"Who is investigating?" asked Li Qingyuan suspiciously.
"An orphan named Bai Chen, who should be three or four years younger than you, do you have any impression of him?"
"Bai Chen?" Li Qingyuan couldn't help but fall into the meeting: "There is indeed such a child. β
In fact, for Bai Chen, a child, Li Qingyuan still has a deep impression.
Generally, children in orphanages rarely have the opportunity to enter a formal primary school to study, but Bai Chen has been rewarded with student assistance since he was a child, and it is the kind of school that will take the initiative to select some orphans to enroll for free in order to work for the faΓ§ade.
After Bai Chen entered primary school, he was praised for being the first in the district, successfully received the junior high school student award, and then received a full scholarship after high school, no longer relying on student assistance and continued to study.
The last time I went back to the orphanage, I heard that he was admitted to SH University, and Li Qingyuan's impression of that child was that he studied very hard.
"I want to know where he is now. β
"Why should I tell you?" Li Qingyuan stared at Han Xiang.
"Make an offer. Han Xiang said bluntly.
"I wonder why you're looking for him. β
"A customer's request. β
"What kind of customer?"
"Also surnamed Bai. β
This sentence contains a lot of information, of course, there are true and false, but there is also enough room for imagination.
"He's at SH University now. β
"Is he a teacher?"
"No, he's probably still a student who hasn't graduated, but he should be old enough to graduate this year. β
"What, he's still a student?" Han Xiang was stunned for a moment, this was obviously a deviation from the line in his mind.
"What's the problem?"
Han Xiang thought for a while: "Have you ever seen this child?"
Han Xiang put a photo in front of Li Qingyuan, and Li Qingyuan shouted: "Bai Chen? Huh...... Not right......"
This child does look very similar to the good student in his impression, but judging from the time and environment of this photo, it should be a recent photo, so the child in the photo is definitely not the person in his impression.
"What do you think he has to do with Bai Chen?"
"Blame...... Bai Chen shouldn't have a younger brother, after all, he himself was abandoned in the orphanage. β
"This child also comes from the same orphanage as yours. Han Xiang said: "His name is Shishi, and he will be seven years old after the Chinese New Year. β
"They really look like that. Li Qingyuan couldn't help but fall into memories, and after half an hour, Li Qingyuan suddenly took out her wallet, only to see a group photo in the wallet, which was a group photo of a group of children in the orphanage.
Han Xiang took the photo and found Li Qingfei, who was still a child, but Han Xiang immediately passed by, and his attention was on another child, a little flat-headed boy standing in the front row.
The same hairstyle, the same round face, a pair of eyes are extraordinarily fascinating, and even the appearance is exactly the same.
Han Xiang couldn't help but put the two photos together to compare, if it weren't for the fact that the two photos were more than ten years apart, Han Xiang couldn't help but regard the two people in the photos as the same person.
"You say...... Could this kid be Bai Chen's son?" Han Xiang asked tentatively.
"You idiot, Bai Chen is only twenty-one years old this year, if it is his child, then doesn't it mean that Bai Chen has a child at the age of fourteen?"
"Physiologically, fourteen years old is already childbearing...... And this child is also an orphan, could it be that Bai Chen had a relationship with a certain girl when he was fourteen years old, and then he couldn't afford to raise him, so he sent him to an orphanage?" Han Xiang couldn't find an explanation for when, so he could only open his mind and make some unreasonable judgments.
"How is that possible...... I have the impression that Bai Chen is a very good-natured child, and it is impossible for him to do such a thing. β
"But...... It's still possible, right?" Han Xiang felt that it could only be this possibility.
"If you say so, Bai Chen impregnated a girl at the age of fourteen, then this girl should be his classmate, after all, he only lived in the school at that time, and the only people he could contact were the girls in the school, maybe we should go to the junior high school where he went to investigate. β
"You say we?"
"Of course, this matter must be clarified, no matter how you look at this child, it has something to do with Bai Chen, but I still believe that Bai Chen, this child is most likely his younger brother, and it will not be anything else. Han Xiang actually didn't have much confidence, some things didn't seem to be much, but if he thought about it too much, he would think about it and be terrified, and he would scare himself.
"And when are we going?"
"Now. β
"Isn't it your time to work?"
"I'm the editor-in-chief. (To be continued......)
