She's waiting for me there.

After arriving at the warehouse, his subordinates hurried over and said, "Boss Yan, the man inside is called Xu Zhengan. He said he doesn't know anything about Qing Ning, but he did abandon a baby girl in Ximing Village 18 years ago."

"Are you sure what he said is true?"

The subordinate nodded: "It should be fine. When we found him, he was blocked in an alley by a group of debt collectors. If we had been a little later, he might have been crippled. He is very grateful to us now."

Yan Zhiming looked through the small window at the door and saw a ragged man inside. He looked to be in his 40s, with some bruises on his face. He was chatting with one of his subordinates with a servile look on his face, giving people the feeling of a sly villain.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Yan Zhiming pushed the door open and walked in. The men inside hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying, "Boss Yan."

Xu Zhengan turned around and saw the person coming, and hurriedly stood up.

"Don't be nervous, sit down." Yan Zhiming smiled kindly and took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

Xu Zhengan was flattered. He had never been treated like this before. In recent years, because of his gambling debts, he was like a rat crossing the street, living in hiding.

"Mr. Yan... Mr. Yan, how can you say this? You rescued me from those people and treated me to delicious food and drinks, and I..."

Looking at his flattering expression, Yan Zhiming frowned slightly and immediately waved his hand.

"Tell me about the baby girl."

"Oh, okay, more than ten years ago..."

After a long time, after listening to Xu Zhengan's words, Yan Zhiming, as a villain, wanted to beat him up. Is he still a human being?

Xu Zhengan was addicted to gambling when he was young. His family had some savings left by his parents. Later, someone introduced him to a marriage, and the woman was so blind that she actually married him.

A year after their marriage, the couple gave birth to a baby girl, but at that time the family could not even solve the problem of food and clothing, and all their savings and the house had been lost.

The woman begged him to go out and work to earn some money so that she could buy some milk powder for her child, otherwise she would definitely not be able to survive the winter.

Xu Zhengan was so annoyed that he beat up the woman and walked out of the house with the baby girl in his arms.

He has been holding a grudge in his heart. Ever since he married this woman, he has never won in the casino. Many people laugh at him for being successful in love but unsuccessful in the casino.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. The more Xu Zhengan thought about it, the more it made sense to him. Especially after the baby girl was born, he had been unlucky all the time.

Isn’t that what gamblers do? They always find some irrelevant reasons and think that they lost the bet because of something, and as long as they solve it, their luck will change.

So he took the baby girl out and threw her directly at the entrance of the village, then turned and left.

Yan Zhiming pondered for a moment. If what Xu Zhengan said was true, the time and place basically matched his own investigation, then this baby girl was most likely Qing Ning picked up by Qing Xue.

He turned and stared at Xu Zhengan: "Where did your wife go?"

"Well, when that woman found out I had abandoned my daughter, she went out like crazy looking for her, and then there was no news of her since."

"Actually, don't blame me at the time, Mr. Yan. Think about it, that child would have starved to death if she were with me. I threw her at the village entrance, and maybe someone picked her up and she could have survived. I was doing this for her own good, don't you think..."

Yan Zhiming sneered and said, "You are right. If this is really the baby girl you mentioned, she is now living in a wealthy family."

"What?" Xu Zhengan stood up immediately, his face full of surprise, and said, "So, I, your own father, have also become successful. God is really watching over me. Mr. Yan, where is my daughter now? Please tell me the address, and I will go see her right away."

"Don't worry, it's still unclear whether you are related. Wait until the paternity test results come out."

Yan Zhiming has asked his men to take the hair of the two people for identification. If they are really father and daughter, that would be interesting.

Xu Zhengan's emotions calmed down a bit. He sighed, "Actually, I didn't really want to throw her away back then. If someone hadn't instigated me, I..."

"Instigation? What does that mean?" Yan Zhiming grasped the key point.

Xu Zhengan leaned towards him and whispered, "Not long after I left home that year, I met a Taoist priest with white eyebrows. He glanced at me and kept following me. It made me feel annoyed..."

Yan Zhiming said impatiently: "Get to the point."

"Well, the old Taoist pointed at my daughter and said that this baby girl shouldn't have lived in this world, but now that she's born, she might change the fate of many people."

"After hearing what he said, I was scared and asked him if there was any way to solve the problem. He said to leave the baby girl at the entrance of Ximing Village, and the cause and effect of this matter would have nothing to do with me. That's why I left my daughter there. Now I think that old Taoist is just a liar. I..."

Yan Zhiming frowned and stood up. He was no longer in the mood to listen to Xu Zhengan's nagging.

Taoist White Eyebrows?

What did he mean by this? What does it mean to be a person who shouldn't be living in this world?

Could it be that the baby girl is not Qing Ning and she is already dead?

Or as Xu Zhengan said, he is just an old Taoist who eats and drinks for free.

But this is totally unacceptable. If he is a liar, there must be profit to be made. Even if Xu Zhengan left the baby girl there, where is the profit for him?

I thought about it for a long time but still had no clue, but it doesn’t matter anymore. Now I just need to wait for the results of the paternity test to come out and then I can arrange the follow-up plans.

......

A few days later, Yan Zhiming hurried into the warehouse holding a brown paper bag.

Xu Zhengan looked at the bag and knew that the result was out.

He asked nervously, "Boss Yan, how is it? Is that baby girl the child from the rich family you mentioned?"

"Haha, congratulations, you are indeed father and daughter." As he said that, he took out the paternity test report.

Xu Zhengan took it with trembling hands, looked at the results above, his eyes red with excitement.

"Thank goodness, my hard times are finally over. As long as the father and daughter recognize each other, I don't believe that family won't support me. Otherwise, I'll take my daughter away, hahaha."

Then he turned to look at Yan Zhiming: "Mr. Yan, can you tell me the address of that family now?"

"Not yet."

"why?"

Yan Zhiming smiled and said, “Don’t forget the identity of that family. If you just go there like this, you won’t be afraid that they will arrest you.”

"Yes, you're right." Xu Zhengan asked hurriedly, "Then what should I do now?"

"Haha, listen to me, this matter..."

Yan Zhiming whispered the plan, and he nodded repeatedly with a gleam in his eyes.

On this day, there were only 10 days left until the exam.
