Chapter 1853: The Answer That Never Came

It looks like he has remembered.

Seeing this, Jiang Baobao continued, "That woman who gave birth chatted very happily with your ex-wife, and the time the children were born was also very close."

"You... what are you trying to say?"

"That woman had a hereditary disease; she was worried that her hereditary disease would be passed on to the child and she would be scolded by her husband, so she secretly swapped in a healthy child to take home."

Before coming here, Jiang Baobao had already completed her investigation.

But telling Li Shu directly would not have a very good effect.

However, by using the help of Li Shu's ex-wife to lay some groundwork...

Li Shu was now in a state of complete disarray!

Jiang Baobao was very satisfied with this result; she raised an eyebrow and turned to leave.

Li Shu, however, was still in shock.

That business about the babies being swapped just now was merely a hypothesis, or even just baseless speculation.

But the details Jiang Baobao had just mentioned... were too credible!

Li Shu wanted to find Jiang Baobao to ask something more.

But Jiang Baobao had already left.

Left behind there, Li Shu kept shouting incessantly.

Jiang Baobao had already walked some distance away.

Hearing the shrill cries at this moment, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.

To tell the truth, before coming here, she was not sure what Li Shu's reaction would be.

But now...

She already knew that her bait was attractive enough!

Jiang Baobao had a premonition that Li Shu would take the initiative to entrust someone to find her.

And the facts were indeed so.

Within three days, Li Shu wanted to have a talk with Jiang Baobao.

Li Shu indicated that he could give Jiang Baobao what she wanted.

But he had to see the information on that child first.

Jiang Baobao had already made preparations in advance; when she met with Li Shu again, the information was on her person.

She was also very generous, and without even waiting for Li Shu to fulfill his promise, she handed the information over first.

Li Shu was stunned for a moment, not expecting Jiang Baobao to take such an action.

After he regained his composure, he darkened his expression and opened the document bag.

Li Shu appeared very calm.

But his trembling fingers had already betrayed him.

Inside the bag was a photo and basic information of a boy.

The moment he saw the photo, Li Shu froze completely!

All of his composure, whether real or fake, was crushed into smithereens at this moment!

Just look at the child's appearance... it was clearly what Li Shu looked like when he was young!

Li Shu's fingers trembled even more violently.

But when he opened his mouth, it was to question: "Isn't this a photoshopped image?"

"Whether it is or not, ask yourself; you were once the Hall Master of Wuyou Hall, with eyes like torches, can you not judge?"

Li Shu was silent for a while, his voice hoarse: "I can't anymore, I'm old, my eyes are failing..."

"Since you trust it so little, then just wait for the results of the DNA test report."

Jiang Baobao cast out another piece of bait.

Then, she took the opportunity to put forward her own request: "Give me the things I want, and I will give you the test report."

Li Shu did not give an answer immediately, but instead asked a question: "Why do you want those things?"

Having communicated to this point, Jiang Baobao felt there was no need to hide it.

She shrugged and spoke the truth: "After Xie Wanyi finished his surgery, he occasionally has headaches; we are trying to find a way to help him alleviate them."

"Just for this?"

"Yeah, what else could it be for?"

Jiang Baobao asked back in a frank and open manner.

Li Shu, however, spoke hesitantly: "An ordinary young man with no background, why be so attentive?"

"Because my daughter likes him, and besides, he is indeed quite good."

When talking about this point, Li Shu actually agreed with Jiang Baobao for once.

He said: "Wanyi's personality is very similar to my son's; among that group of children, I liked him the most."

As he spoke, Li Shu suddenly changed his expression.

When he spoke, he was somewhat gritting his teeth: "If he had been a little more obedient, I wouldn't even have told him about the Chip... but as it happens, he met Jiang Motian!"

Hearing Li Shu's words, Jiang Baobao rolled her eyes.

Then, she reminded him: "They met long before you did, don't act like my daughter abducted him!"

"Isn't that the case? He was very obedient originally; it was all your daughter's instigation that made him turn against me!"

"Turn against you? You never treated him with sincerity, so where would this 'turning against you' come from?"

Jiang Baobao's mockery left Li Shu speechless for a moment.

Realizing that the conversation had drifted a bit far, Jiang Baobao tapped on the table.

Then, she returned to the main topic: "Tell me, where is the thing I want?"

Li Shu seemed to have suddenly lost all his spirit and energy.

Hearing Jiang Baobao's question, he spoke an address in a listless voice and said the item was inside a safe.

At this moment, the safe might have been taken by the West Hall Master.

Thinking of the West Hall Master...

Li Shu warned: "This West Hall Master is a complete villain; if you cross him, I fear you will lose a layer of skin."

Jiang Baobao, however, was not afraid in the slightest, and she even said: "You seem to have forgotten one thing."

"What?"

"I am very rich."

Heh, that's right, he had forgotten that the one thing Jiang Baobao was never short of was money.

Li Shu smiled self-deprecatingly, then tightly shut his lips.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but sigh and say: "Lao Li, you are old after all."

Having obtained the information she wanted, Jiang Baobao did not stay any longer.

At this moment, she was going to take the newly acquired information and begin her next move.

As for Li Shu, he sat there alone, dazed.

After a long while, he let out a soft chuckle.

And muttered: "Yes, I really am old..."

Next, the transaction between Jiang Baobao and the West Hall Master proceeded surprisingly smoothly.

The reason it was so smooth was truly because...

Jiang Baobao gave too much!

The West Hall Master was currently in need of a large sum of capital to restore the prestige of Wuyou Hall.

Naturally, there was no reason for him to refuse this money that had been delivered to his doorstep.

And Jiang Baobao also kept her promise, taking the DNA report to go find Li Shu.

However...

Li Shu did not wait for this news.

He suffered a sudden heart attack and died.

If he could have waited just another half an hour...

Perhaps he would not have left this world with regrets.

Jiang Motian, who learned of this news afterward, could not help but sigh with emotion.

She even muttered: "Perhaps, this is fate."

As her voice fell, Jiang Motian looked at Xie Wanyi, who was sitting on the hospital bed.

Originally, Xie Wanyi had a half-eaten apple in his hand.

After hearing the news brought by Jiang Motian, he did not move for a long time.

Seeing this, Jiang Motian guessed something.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Motian tentatively asked: "Wanyi, are you sad?"

Xie Wanyi did not hesitate and nodded lightly.

Then he said melancholily: "Although my suffering was caused by him, I did respect him after all."

This reason...

Jiang Motian did not approve.

She wanted to open her mouth to criticize Li Shu's faults, so that Xie Wanyi would know it wasn't worth it for such a person.

However, the deceased is gone...

Jiang Motian fell silent again.

Xie Wanyi also only felt melancholy for a short while before bringing up a new topic: "Li Shu's passing might not be an accident."

"Ah?!"

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
