Chapter 158 Contentment is the most valuable quality in a person
Cheng Anju was a genuine countryman. If he could establish a relationship with the leader, the Cheng family would be able to act with impunity in Shou County in the future.
The thought of that scene stirred a surge of emotion within Cheng Anju.
But now...
The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate!
It's all the third son's wife's fault for being so unreasonable, causing them to break off their relationship with him long ago.
The decision was too drastic back then. If they were to accept it now, it would not only be of no benefit to the Cheng family, but might even bring them many harms.
Zhang Jianguo sighed helplessly, realizing for the first time that Uncle Cheng was such a stubborn person.
These two look so alike, does he think he can get away with it by making excuses?
It would be better to just admit it outright; maybe then the two families could still maintain contact.
Although the Cheng family's actions were really unethical, he didn't think Cheng Baichuan and that leader were petty people.
"Uncle Cheng, have you thought this through? The eldest son and aunt haven't come back yet."
Zhang Jianguo reminded him again, trying to make Cheng Anju recognize reality, that the Cheng family had no confidence to be stubborn at this moment.
"If I send my son away, can they guarantee that they will bring my eldest son back safe and sound?"
Cheng Anju couldn't help but be tempted, after all, Cheng Zhenxing was his own son.
“This…” Zhang Jianguo looked troubled; this was not something he could decide.
Cheng Chi's anger surged. His son, whom he had been searching for for nearly 30 years, was now being used as a bargaining chip to gain benefits. How could he not be furious?
"you......."
Just as he was about to lash out, Cao Xuefeng quickly grabbed his hand and gave him a look that said, "Take it easy."
"Comrade Cheng Anju, you can't deny that Cheng Baichuan is Lao Cheng's son."
Cao Xuefeng said unhurriedly, "After all, as long as we draw blood from both of them for testing, we can quickly determine their kinship."
"We came all this way to see you, only because you raised our child and we want to show you some respect."
Cheng Anju's heart skipped a beat, and he unconsciously looked at Meng Renjie beside him, asking in a slightly trembling voice, "Dr. Meng, is he bluffing?"
He had heard of blood kinship testing, but wasn't it all considered nonsense?
Is it really possible to determine whether someone is biologically related to another person through a blood test now?
Meng Renjie nodded slightly and said affirmatively, "That is indeed the case. With the rapid development of medical technology, it is certainly possible to verify kinship."
Cheng Anju swallowed hard, a sense of despair rising in his heart. Did this mean that no matter how hard he struggled, it would be in vain?
Thinking of his boss who was still being held in the police station, Cheng An made up his mind and said, "Since you've all said that, then I won't hide anything anymore. You can take back the child, but you have to rescue my boss first."
Cheng Chi and the others remained calm; Cheng Anju's request was exactly what they had expected.
"can."
Cheng Chi nodded calmly. The victim's family had already given their terms regarding Cheng Zhenxing's case.
In his view, things that can be solved with money are not really problems; on the contrary, Liu Yufen's case was more troublesome.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Anju's expression visibly softened considerably. "Then I've raised my third son for so many years, nurturing him into such an outstanding person..."
He also tried to demand some reward.
Zhang Jianguo couldn't stand it any longer, so he tugged at Cheng's clothes and said awkwardly, "Uncle Cheng, please stop talking. People should be content."
Given the Cheng family's attitude towards Cheng Baichuan, what's the point of talking about raising or nurturing him?
He was really afraid that Cheng Anju's words would mess things up, and then even the boss wouldn't be able to be rescued.
Given their status, it's just a matter of acquaintance; they don't need to greet each other at all.
They are grateful people, and it would be too much to push their luck like this.
Cheng Anju's face turned pale and then red. Although he was unwilling, he could only say helplessly, "Do as you please."
Seeing that Cheng Anju had finally relented, Cheng Chi felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.
"Comrade Cheng Anju, could you please tell us in detail about when you found Baichuan?"
Cheng Chi said calmly, "This matter concerns the safety of Hunan Province."
Cheng Anju's heart skipped a beat, and he asked hesitantly, "Is it really that serious?"
That person died right in front of him. Wouldn't it implicate him if he said it now?
Cheng Anju was hesitant and uncertain.
Cheng Baichuan glanced at Cheng Chi and said, "Chief, let me ask about this."
Father and son have been together for almost 30 years. Judging from Cheng Anju's expression, he could tell at a glance that there was probably some secret that he couldn't tell anyone in front of others.
Cheng Chi sighed softly; the child still refused to call him "Dad."
“Okay, you guys say what you want, we’ll wait for you outside.” Cheng Chi was the first to stand up and walk out.
The others followed suit and walked outside.
Li Wanqing glanced at Cheng Baichuan, who gave her a reassuring look, so she had no choice but to leave.
There are some things that she, as an outsider, shouldn't interfere with.
After everyone left, Cheng Anju felt a little panicked.
"I don't remember much about what happened back then. What do you want to ask?"
Cheng Baichuan poured him a glass of water. "Have a sip of water first."
Cheng Anju didn't get any water; he had no appetite for drinking water at the moment!
"Let's ask first."
Anyway, I've already told you the biggest secret, there's nothing else to hide.
"When you found me, did that person say anything to you?" Cheng Baichuan asked.
Cheng Anju shook his head. "I don't quite remember."
He was also flustered at the time and didn't pay any attention to that person.
"But judging from his appearance, it seems that someone is chasing him. He has suffered serious injuries, including gunshot wounds and knife wounds."
“I was timid back then, so I grabbed the child and ran away.”
"When I went back, he was no longer there."
He only realized afterward that he was afraid the other party might be a bad person, so he went back to check the situation.
"Aren't there any other special circumstances?" Cheng Baichuan frowned slightly. If there were no clues at all, things would be difficult to handle.
After capturing Qin Qianqian, they clearly realized that the enemy agents who had infiltrated the Southwest Military Region came from Hunan Province.
At first, they didn't figure out the connection until Meng Renjie mentioned Xiao Qiu, which led to some clues.
Back then, Cheng Chi was ordered to suppress hostile forces on the border, which had accumulated a lot of hatred.
His mother's affair was clearly revenge against Cheng Chi!
Although there were still unstable factors in China at that time, it was easy to get in but difficult to get out.
Given the infiltration targeting the Southwest Military Region, they deduced that these two groups might be one and the same.
Previous arrest operations were effective, but the key figures were not captured.
This trip wasn't just about reuniting with relatives; it was more about finding a breakthrough, finding new clues.
