Chapter 139 Shouxian People's Hospital
Chapter 139 Shouxian People's Hospital
Cao Xuefeng didn't take these words to heart, after all, there are plenty of people in the world with the surname Qiu.
Anyone with the surname Qiu could be Xiao Qiu.
“Xiao Qiu is from Hunan Province. He’s not tall, but he’s steady and cautious in his work.” Cao Xuefeng smiled as he said this. “However, because he has a scar the length of an index finger on his face, he looks particularly fierce, and he has never been able to find a girlfriend.”
"A scar the length of an index finger?" Meng Renjie was shocked again. "Are you sure he's not tall, and he has a scar the length of an index finger on his face?"
"Yes!" Cao Xuefeng's smile vanished, and he finally sensed that something was amiss.
Because of that scar, Xiao Qiu failed several blind dates, and eventually he gave up.
So he was very impressed!
“I’ve seen this person before,” Meng Renjie said confidently.
Cao Xuefeng immediately became excited, "Really? Where have you seen me before?"
If we find Xiao Qiu, will he then be able to get news about Shu Zhen and the child?
Meng Renjie frowned. "That was more than 20 years ago, almost 30 years ago."
"You know I was also looking for my sister back then. That year I happened to be working as an outpatient doctor at the county hospital in Shouxian County."
“One rainy night, I was on duty when a man covered in blood suddenly rushed into the hospital, carrying a child in his arms.”
Upon hearing this, Cao Xuefeng's heart skipped a beat. "Isn't there anyone else?"
Meng Renjie shook his head. "No, you know that there were still bandits in Hunan Province at that time. If someone like that rushed in, no one would dare to step forward."
"Later, I felt sorry for the child and wanted to help, but the man was very wary and refused to let go of the child."
"I could only treat his wound very carefully. I could see the scar on his face at that time. It slid diagonally from the left side of his eyebrow to the left. It looked quite creepy."
Cao Xuefeng's lips trembled slightly. "It's him, it's him. How could he have gone to Hunan Province?"
Meng Renjie shook his head; he really didn't know anything about it.
"And then? Where did he go?" Cao Xuefeng asked eagerly.
Meng Renjie was about to continue speaking when Cao Xuefeng interrupted him again, "No, wait a minute, let's go inside and talk."
This matter involves two people; they should both listen to it.
When Li Wanqing came out of her daughter's room, she saw Cao Xuefeng pulling Meng Renjie toward the main room.
His expression was unusually serious.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly followed.
On New Year's Eve, I hope nothing really goes wrong.
Just as they reached the door, Cheng Chi exclaimed in surprise, "What? Dr. Meng really saw Xiao Qiu?"
Completely bewildered, Li Wanqing silently sat down next to Cheng Baichuan. "What's wrong?"
Cheng Baichuan shook his head. "I'm not quite sure, but it seems to be very important."
Cao Xuefeng came in and whispered something in the leader's ear, which made the leader excited.
Cheng Chi looked at Meng Renjie with excitement, his face showing a mixture of belief and fear of disappointment.
He's been searching for so long, he's even searched Hunan Province.
But after so many years there was still no news, and he feared that this time it was just another empty expectation.
Meng Renjie nodded. "If the scar on Xiao Qiu's face that you're talking about is indeed from the left side of his eyebrow to the corner of his eye, then that should be it."
Cheng Chi was so excited that he felt like he couldn't breathe. "It's him, it's him!"
"And what about Shuzhen?"
Cheng Chi couldn't help but hold onto even greater hope, hoping that if there was news of Xiao Qiu, then news of Shu Zhen would surely be just around the corner.
Meng Renjie glanced at Cao Xuefeng, who sighed slightly and pushed Cheng Chi, who had stood up, back into his seat.
"Old Cheng, calm down. There's still no news about Shuzhen."
Li Wanqing and Cheng Baichuan exchanged a glance; this was actually news about Cheng Chi's lover.
Cheng Chi was so excited he felt like he could jump up and down; he couldn't possibly stay calm.
"Old Cao, it's Shuzhen! There's news about Shuzhen. How can I stay calm?"
Cheng Chi looked at Meng Renjie anxiously, "Dr. Meng, where did you see Xiao Qiu? I'll send someone to find her."
"Shouxian People's Hospital," Meng Renjie said. "But I've only seen him twice. Once he was with a child, and the second time..."
Meng Renjie paused, feeling a little reluctant.
"When was the second time?" Cao Xuefeng and Cheng Chi were both eager to know more.
Meng Renjie sighed softly, "The second time he was sent to the hospital, but in the end... he died."
The moment these words were spoken, the entire main room fell silent.
Li Wanqing didn't dare to utter a sound. The greatest despair in life is when a glimmer of hope is instantly extinguished.
"Then...what about the child?" Cheng Chi asked in a trembling voice.
Meng Renjie shook his head. "The first time he went to the hospital to treat his wound, he stayed one night and then quietly left."
"I haven't seen the child since."
Cheng Chi slumped onto the stool, the clues gone cold again.
Cao Xuefeng looked at Cheng Baichuan and asked, "Commander Cheng, you're from Shou County, aren't you?"
Cheng Baichuan frowned and nodded. "That's true."
"Did your family tell you where you were born?" Cao Xuefeng asked again.
Upon hearing this question, both Cheng Chi and Meng Renjie looked at Cheng Baichuan.
A sudden pressure arose in Cheng Baichuan's heart, making him feel somewhat confused and at a loss.
He didn't know how to sort out the chaotic thoughts in his mind until he felt a warm and soft touch on his hand.
Cheng Baichuan turned his head slightly and met Li Wanqing's encouraging smile, which immediately put his mind at ease.
In any case, he just needs to tell the truth.
Cheng Baichuan looked up at Cao Xuefeng and said, "I was born at Shouxian People's Hospital."
This answer undoubtedly gave Cheng Chi and Cao Xuefeng hope.
"I remember your birthday is in March 1948?" Cheng Chi asked.
Cheng Baichuan nodded, and Cheng Chi looked at Meng Renjie. Before he could ask, Meng Renjie nodded.
"That was around that time."
Cao Xuefeng said excitedly, "I told you Cheng Baichuan is your son, but you didn't believe me."
Cheng Chi gave a wry smile. It wasn't that he didn't believe it, but that Cheng Baichuan didn't believe it.
Moreover, this matter is indeed somewhat unbelievable, and even Cheng Baichuan still doesn't believe it.
“So many children were born around the same time, it’s not necessarily me,” Cheng Baichuan said calmly. “I was born to my parents, and the whole village can testify to that.”
Even if there are many coincidences, he can't believe it without solid evidence.
If something goes wrong in this kind of thing, it will be bad for everyone.
Meng Renjie nodded, "It's better to get to the bottom of this. Even if he was born at Shouxian People's Hospital, there's no clear evidence that he was the child at that time."
"Moreover, the records from the People's Hospital at that time are no longer available after so many years."
