Chapter 908: Even the Most Careful Plans Leave a Trail

When Shi Yuke gave birth at the Jian Family Hospital, such a major incident occurred, and Jian Yixin was both shocked and guilty.

The hospital Monitoring Room.

The area in front of the screens was full of people; both Shi Youxuan and Jian Yixin were there.

It was already the Nth time; they had checked repeatedly, but the video from the day Shi Yuke gave birth was simply missing.

The missing part of the video was very coincidental; all parts involving those women had disappeared, while everything else was operating normally!

The dean was summoned; despite the cool weather, he kept wiping sweat from his forehead: "I received a call from a classmate that day, so I did a favor. I didn't expect such a major accident to happen. Chairman, please dismiss me."

If dismissal were effective, Jian Yixin would certainly do it.

"Stop saying useless things. Contact your classmate immediately and ask who that woman is and what her identity is."

"Okay."

He dialed the number—"Beep, beep, beep!"

"Beep, beep, beep!"

"Beep, beep, beep!"

The other end was always a busy signal; it simply wouldn't connect.

Trying other methods also failed to make contact; the other party was deliberately hiding and did not want to be seen.

He racked his brains and tried several other methods, and finally, he made contact with his old classmate.

Before the dean could get angry, the other party complained first: "I know why you are looking for me, but I cannot say. I really cannot tell you anything. I have leverage held by those people. If I reveal her identity, I will be ruined. I'm sorry..."

The dean was furious: "You are too excessive and too selfish. Because of your own private interests, you have put me in an unrighteous position. We have decades of friendship; is this how you treat me?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Apart from these three words, the other party had nothing else to say.

They had finally thought they had a lead, but it turned out to be useless.

The matter seemed to have reached a stalemate, unsolvable for the moment.

Shi Youxuan asked the dean: "Which country is your old classmate in?"

"Q Country."

"Alright, you don't need to worry about the rest; I already know."

Jian Yixin followed behind and asked: "Xuanxuan, what do you know..."

Halfway through her sentence, she covered her mouth in astonishment.

She knew, too.

Although she had never been to the Ji Family, Jian Yixin had heard that the mysterious Ji Family was in Q Country!

"No way, this matter couldn't have something to do with your aunt, could it?"

Shi Youxuan: "Yixin, pull up the videos of every prenatal checkup my sister had. I feel like we can find some clues."

"Okay."

The earlier videos were pulled up bit by bit. When they reached Shi Yuke's four-month checkup, the video in the hallway caught both of their attention simultaneously.

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

The two spoke almost in unison, and the image on the screen froze.

It happened to be the scene where the two families bumped into each other head-on.

"Zoom in," Jian Yixin ordered.

The image zoomed in, and Ji Yingjie and Nianyin appeared on the screen.

"Switch to the area near the examination room."

The scene shifted; Ji Yingjie looked left and right, then entered the examination room, and came out triumphantly two minutes later.

Jian Yixin requested the duty roster for that day, found the duty technician, and had her come to her office.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Come in."

The technician entered; she was around forty years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking refined.

"Chai, Chairman, you, you are looking for me?"

Jian Yixin and Shi Youxuan exchanged a look; both of them knew what was going on.

"Sit. I asked you here to ask you about a small matter."

The technician sat on the chair cautiously, with only half of her bottom on the edge of the chair, her back straight, her nerves highly tense.

"Do you recognize this person?"

Jian Yixin placed Ji Yingjie's photo in front of her. She only took one look before turning pale with fright, and beads of sweat the size of peas broke out on her forehead.

"No, I don't recognize her!" She clearly recognized her—the person was already etched into her bones—but she denied it flatly.

"Oh, you don't recognize her?" Jian Yixin's tone remained calm, but what she said made the technician terrified: "Of course, you can choose not to tell me the truth, but if I hand these over to the police station, I'm afraid your future won't just be ruined, but you will also spend a long time in Prison. Take a look at these."

It was another stack of photos.

There were photos of Ji Yingjie near her home, walking into her residential complex, and even at her front door.

These photos were obtained through the surveillance footage from the technician's residential complex management; with these, it was no longer plausible for her to say she didn't know Ji Yingjie.

The person in front of Jian Yixin suddenly disappeared.

Her legs went weak, and she slid off the chair and sat on the floor under the office desk.

A moment later, a voice filled with tears came from under the desk: "Chairman, I was wrong, I know I was wrong. I had no choice; she forced me to do it. I really don't know her, I've never met her before. That woman is too overbearing, and I have nowhere to return the gold bars..."

Although she spoke incoherently, the two of them quickly understood the cause and effect.

Ji Yingjie had barged into the examination room and stuffed gold bars into the examiner's hands to ask about the sex of the fetuses in Nianyin and Yuke's bellies.

That same evening, she found the examiner's home, gave her gold bars to make her an inside source at the hospital, and told her to report Yuke's check-up results and expected delivery date to her...

Now everything was clear.

The examiner hadn't dared to turn the gold bars into cash and had kept them at home; seeing that the matter had been exposed, she immediately took them out and handed them to Jian Yixin, begging her to let her go.

Jian Yixin still let this person off the hook and did not hand her over to the police station, but she confiscated the stolen goods and dismissed her, counting it as a voluntary resignation.

The truth of the matter was now clear; it could basically be confirmed that the woman who had been in the same delivery room as Yuke was Nianyin!

Everything had been arranged by Ji Yingjie.

The Ji Family was desperate for a girl, but the child Nianyin was carrying was a boy.

Actually, even if it were a boy, it wouldn't have mattered; they could have just had a girl in the next pregnancy.

However, Ji Yingjie's way of thinking was different from ordinary people; no one knew what she was thinking, but she was impulsive and had actually gone to such great lengths to swap the children.

Club.

Everyone hadn't gathered for a long time, and now they were meeting again to discuss the matter.

They had not let the Shi Family know about this for the time being.

Shi Yucheng was prone to agitation and had no good ideas, so he would be of no help, and the others in the Shi Family... were even less useful.

If the person who swapped the children hadn't been Ji Yingjie, this matter would be easy to handle; they could just go and demand the child back or explicitly request a paternity test.

But the Ji Family was special; if they made the matter clear, they might not even be able to see the child, let alone think about a paternity test, and as for getting the child back, that was out of the question—it was simply impossible.

Girls were treasures in the Ji Family, and Nianyin's child was an even more supreme existence in the Ji Family!

It was difficult enough to even see the child once, let alone do anything else, which would be as hard as ascending to heaven.

Shi Youxuan: "I want to go back to the Ji Family."

Sheng Hanyu: "I will go with you."

Lao Qi: "I'm going too."

It was normal for these people to go.

Whenever Shi Youxuan went out, Sheng Hanyu would always follow, step by step; the older he got, the less he could be away from her.

This matter was inextricably linked to Lao Qi, as it directly concerned which child was his own flesh and blood.

But Wan'er said: "I'm going too."
