On the same day, the small town of Stein, Switzerland.

Just after noon in China, this town located on the banks of the Rhine in the northern hemisphere is in the early morning. The sun has not yet risen, and everything is in a peaceful tranquility. Various old buildings with medieval style stand under the gray shadow, and there is a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere everywhere.

The weather in the small town of Stein in September is suitable. It just rained yesterday, and the ground and eaves were drenched with water this morning, and everywhere was wet.

It was still so early, in a house near the river, in the back garden, the middle-aged couple who lived here had already woken up, and were working together to clean up the flower beds and lawns that had been damaged by the wind and rain.

After working for more than half an hour, the husband and wife did not communicate much, especially the middle-aged woman. Instead of saying a word, sometimes she clearly heard the man talking, but she still pretended not to hear it, as if the partner beside her was transparent Air.

The man is obviously used to it for a long time, no matter whether his wife responds to it or not, he still talks about it, talking about some recent things and the upcoming itinerary.

In addition, he also talked about his own son.

"Now the country has almost calmed down, and it has basically come to an end."

"But we can't go back yet."

"...I won't be able to go back in the future."

"I promised you when I came here that we can live a stable life here."

"Now I have taken care of everything here. I have been solving these problems for the past two years. I won't be chased again in the future. Don't worry."

……

"Tianming hasn't been very honest recently, he's still in contact with the country."

……

Both the husband and wife have Asian faces, tall, and good-looking, but judging from their appearance, the woman is a head older than the man-not the old-fashioned age, but the difference in temperament a lot.The woman looks like she has been weather-beaten. Although her elegant and delicate face is still in her early fifties, the fatigue on her face cannot be concealed. Her hair is quite grey, which is even more exaggerated than the age of seventy. .

The man still has black hair, and he is almost sixty years old, but he is well maintained. Not only does he not have a single silver thread, but his body shape is not like most people of this age. Handsome and handsome.

The water-soaked ground was slippery, and the low potholes of the trail were filled with dirty mud.

The middle-aged woman didn't dislike it, and squatted on the ground to clean it with her hands. Her trouser legs were wet and stuck to her thin calves.

The man said: "An'an seems to appear frequently recently, and she returned to the city in June."

Hearing the familiar nickname, the middle-aged woman stopped for a second or two, and the rusty machine was suddenly started, barely making a sound.

"She seems to be in trouble these two days, and it's quite difficult." The middle-aged man stated, his tone was concerned, but there was no trace of worry on his face, "I offended that kid from the Pei family, and even brought the Sun family into it. It was quite a mess of."

The tools for weeding became decorations, and the woman never touched them again.

Observing her reaction secretly, Ji Yunjing asked, "Do you want to help her?"

Cheng Yuzhu lowered her head and looked at the dirty ground, so she was no longer dumb, and said coldly: "You don't need to pretend to be a good person."

Ji Yunjing said: "After all, it's my child, it should be a father-daughter relationship anyway."

Disdainful of this old man's superficial kindness, Cheng Yuzhu stared at Ji Yunjing, his eyes seemed to be poisoned.

Ji Yunjing calmed down, and said again: "Don't look at me like that, you were the one who agreed to leave your daughter behind."

Unable to bear repeated verbal provocations, Cheng Yuzhu's eyes collapsed again after hearing this blatant revelation. After a long time, unable to refute her husband's harshness, Cheng Yuzhu only said: "She is not your daughter, and has nothing to do with you."

Ji Yunjing said: "She was raised by us."

"Her surname shouldn't be Ji."

"It's a foregone conclusion, and it cannot be changed."

Looking fiercely at her husband's face, Cheng Yuzhu kept repeating her point of view like an enemy: "She is not from the Ji family, and has nothing to do with you."

"She is my child and yours." Ji Yunjing corrected, without being annoyed after hearing it, his eyes were deep, as if he had seen through his wife's weakness, and stated unhurriedly, "Don't forget, when we were in Gaoqiao Town and Yuluo and the others are together, it's you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Yuzhu dropped the tool and told him the cruel and dark truth without batting an eye, and continued word by word: "She is not my daughter either... Our daughter is long gone. It's gone when it comes down."

Finally, stop and stop torturing her with this.The expression on Ji Yunjing's face also became embarrassing for a moment, and he was depressed for a moment, and squatted forward, recklessly trying to wring out his wife's pants to avoid catching cold.

It's a pity that Cheng Yuzhu didn't appreciate it, rejected his approach, and subconsciously became alert, staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

Ji Yunjing had sharp eyes and quick hands, grabbed her in time, and said gently, "Be careful."

The warm contact on the arm came, as if she had touched something dangerous, she avoided it like a snake and scorpion, Ms. Cheng Yuzhu shuddered suddenly, the pores all over her body tightened instantly, and she hurriedly hid aside in fear.

Afraid of Ji Yunjing's approach, he felt distrust of her husband who had slept with her for decades, and her fear went deep into her bones.

Knowing that she would hide, Ji Yunjing pulled her hard ahead of time, pulling her towards him.

Cheng Yuzhu's face turned pale, and she lost all blood, as if she had been beaten with a sap.

But she never said a word, never yelled, not even a single cry of pain.

By the calm river, the early morning breeze is soft and comfortable. This place is inconspicuous and no one sees it.

Unsurprised by his wife's performance, Ji Yunjing explained kindly: "I just want to help you, your pants are covered with water, the temperature is low today, don't catch a cold."

Cheng Yuzhu didn't accept it, but the weak and ill body was a waste, and it was difficult to even struggle.

Taking medicines for treating mental illness regularly every day, how can I still have strength? This old bone can't even be compared with a child, let alone an adult.

Ji Yunjing maintained a gentleman's demeanor and did not blame his wife for staying away.He said comforting words, patted Cheng Yuzhu's shoulder, and didn't say until Cheng Yuzhu stopped struggling, "The weather here is bad. Let's move to another place after a while."

A table of consolation can be described as extremely considerate, perfecting the posture of a good man.

But this is not the case in Cheng Yuzhu's ears. Moving away means leaving, and once again leaving the neighbors and places he has just become familiar with.Cheng Yuzhu was a little excited when he became alert on the spot: "What are you going to do again? Who do you want to harm, and where are you going to lock me up?"

Ji Yunjing said: "Nothing to do, just move to another place."

Cheng Yuzhu didn't believe it. According to the previous experience, the father and son coaxed and tricked her into the lunatic asylum. When she thought about it, her body trembled, shaking like chaff, and took half a step back again and again.

"Stay away from me, get out!" Almost out of control, Cheng Yuzhu's neck was red, but she didn't make any noise, for fear of attracting surrounding residents to watch and cause trouble, "Get out..."

Ji Yunjing refused to leave, wanting to control her.

Her mental state was already extremely poor, but being persecuted like this, Cheng Yuzhu became nagging again, half crazy and half not crazy.She refused to accept her husband's kindness, and lost her previous elegance and stability. She regarded Ji Yunjing as an enemy, and kept scolding: "Why don't you die, why are you still alive...you are a scourge, you go to die...you deserved to die there In the fire... I deserve to die too, it's fine if I die, it's fine if they all die..."

In the end, it was Ji Yunjing who grabbed her and forcibly controlled her to prevent her from going crazy and doing extreme behavior.

Not long after, other people came out of the house, including a housekeeper and a private doctor.

The eldest brother Ji Tianming was also among them.

A lunatic who is ill is too difficult to deal with, even if it is this kind of one that has been hollowed out by drugs, several male partners managed to stabilize her and forced her to be sent back to the house to be fed drugs.

Unable to control herself, Cheng Yuzhu beat herself while struggling and scratched her son.

Unfortunately, Ji Tianming was injured, and there was a blood mark on the left cheek immediately.

But Ji Yunjing didn't care about this son, he only cared about his wife's condition, and didn't even look at Ji Tianming.

After entering the door, Ji Tianming was even pushed.

I don't know who pushed it, but it wasn't intentional.

After Cheng Yuzhu was done, the world was clean, and Ji Tianming felt the pain, so he touched and scratched involuntarily.

Not knowing why his father still kept this burden, Ji Tianming wiped his face, his eyes were gloomy.

The sunny afternoon in City Z is the opposite of the weather.

The dense fog dissipated at night, and the rest of the day was clear and cloudless.

The large one-story house in Heyuan was brightly lit, and the door of the room was not opened until after two o'clock.

I slept well the last night and spent the morning peacefully.

Nanjia stayed here and did not go to the company.

It's not that the plan has changed and they didn't go out temporarily, but news came from C City that the Sun family needs to cooperate here.Nanga postponed all arrangements for today, including an important internal meeting.

Ji Cen'an also kept it, working on the computer for an hour or two, leaning against the head of the bed.

Before Sun's family connected to the video here, Ji Cen'an put aside what he was doing, said nothing, lifted Nanjia who was on the side and put it in front of him, lowered his eyes and whispered, "I'm going out for a while."

Nanjia didn't ask specific questions: "Yes."

"Look for Uncle Yang," Ji Cen'an said, consciously speaking clearly, "ask him for a favor, I want to find someone."

Nanjia nodded: "Okay."

The night passed, and in the daytime, both sides took action.

Before going out, Ji Cen'an rubbed Nanjia's neck, smoothed the hair on her collarbone, and brushed it to the back of her waist.

The afternoon is trivial and there is a lot to do.

Ji Cen'an went out after three o'clock, deliberately bypassing the back door, hiding his figure and keeping a low profile.

The appointment to meet Uncle Yang was not at Yang Kaiming's house, nor was it near Yang's house.

Ji Cen'an only met Yang Kaiming for a few minutes, and "ran into" Yang Kaiming on his way out to play chess. They walked together for a while, and then separated.

The two sides exchanged some information. Ji Cen'an wanted to find the old employees who had worked in Ji's family. He didn't specify which ones, but he planned to find the earliest batch—preferably when she was a child or even before she was born. For those who have worked at home, the sooner the better.

Some things cannot be found online, no matter how capable Ji Cen'an is, he must seek help from real people.

Although Yang Kaiming only served as her housekeeper, Uncle Yang knew more about the employment situation inside the Ji family than Ji Cen'an, and also knew more people, and had more connections than her.After all, Ji Cen'an used to be a high-ranking rich second generation. She didn't care about the domestic helpers. On the contrary, Uncle Yang, an honest man, often dealt with those employees and knew a little bit about them.

Uncle Yang is reliable in his work, and after searching layer by layer, he actually found an old lady who has been working in Ji's family for more than nine years.

The old lady was fired not long after Ji Cen'an was born. She is no longer in the city now, and moved back to the countryside a few years ago. It is not easy to find out her whereabouts.

Ji Cen'an went out of the city alone, visited the house, and met this man.

The old lady didn't know Ji Cen'an. She was old and her mind was a little demented. She would be confused for a while and then sober. She couldn't answer any questions and couldn't understand what Ji Cen'an said.

The old woman recognized the wrong person, and the first time she saw Ji Cen'an, she suddenly caught her, shouted "Yuluo" in a daze, and asked "Why are you here?" When she woke up, she heard Ji Cen'an's real identity , long-windedly said, "You are that child, it's you", but after a while, I couldn't tell the difference, and I only vaguely remembered the two information of Ji's family and the child. Looking at Ji Cen'an's flat stomach, he muttered a bunch of strange things in dialect out of curiosity, to the effect that he asked her if she had gone looking for a place to raise her baby, and why she came here.

When she was about to say goodbye, the old lady was in a daze again, and this time even what she remembered just now was thrown out of the blue.Ji Cen'an was about to leave, but the old woman stopped her. She looked left and right at her, and still called her "Yuluo". It's really..."

I don't know which old acquaintance I took Ji Cen'an for, the old lady was so confused.

The old lady's family felt apologetic and didn't know which family the Ji family was. The village didn't ask about foreign affairs, so they didn't know where the old lady worked more than [-] years ago.The old lady used to live and work in more than one place, and worked in many homes in the city.As long as Ji Cen'an was a kind girl from the old lady's previous employer who came to visit, the old lady's family didn't care.

As if the clues were suddenly connected, Ji Cen settled down, something flashed through his mind.She turned around, paid attention to the old lady's nagging, and asked seriously: "Who is the second master?"

The old lady was stunned for a while, and couldn't remember.

Ji Cen'an put it another way and asked, "Which jade bead is mine?"

The old lady said with a heavy accent: "You are stupid, Yuzhu is your sister. You have been away for too long, and I don't know anyone?"

Standing stiffly at the door, Ji Cen'an was stunned.

The old lady was still thinking about it: "You were married a long time ago. It was only a little over ten o'clock at that time. You went out with the second master and didn't come to Yuzhu. I almost didn't recognize you. Your family is long gone. Yuzhu cares about you, she can't let go, so don't be angry, the two sisters are fine..."

Step by step, I walked out of the old house in the countryside and got on the car by the side of the road.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Ji Cen'an looked at the strange foreign number he called two days ago, as well as the key and the picture postcard, and fell into deep thought.

Soon, the car started and drove forward slowly.

All the way west.

Arriving at the fork in the county town, Ji Cen'an didn't continue driving on the way back, but turned around and headed towards Gaoqiao Town without hesitation.

Go to Gaoqiao Town and find the address Chen Qirui mentioned last time.

The Zhou family, the old house of A Chong's family.The current residence of A Chong's mother and Xiaoyu.

A Chong's mother is one of the few insiders.

The fire took away many people. The older generation of Jiang Tian's family had passed away long ago. Those who were slightly involved in that incident were still alive. Now only A Chong's mother is left.
