“What are you joking about? This is Chen Jianxun!”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“How could Chen Jianxun possibly resemble Zhou Jianguo…”
Zhou Qiang rolled his eyes in response to Su Xuan’s words.
He spoke through gritted teeth.
You see, Zhou Hao’s hometown is in a remote mountainous area, while Chen Jianxun grew up in Xiangjiang City…
Isn’t the difference a bit too far?
“Take a look at this…”
However, amid Zhou Qiang’s anger, Su Xuan handed him a stack of documents.
Zhou Hao was somewhat annoyed, but now that Su Xuan had placed the documents in front of him, not looking wasn’t his style.
He wanted to see how Su Xuan intended to convince him.
…And he did convince him.
“I can’t believe it! So Zhou Hao went missing back then?”
Zhou Qiang examined the documents, his eyes widening in disbelief.
“That’s right, these are records I unexpectedly found.”
“Zhou Hao’s disappearance lasted only three days.”
“Because he was so young at the time, he didn’t even remember it himself.”
“As for Zhou’s parents, they had many children at the time, so they weren’t very concerned about Zhou Hao…”
“And he was brought back by someone three days later, that someone was none other than their family’s second aunt.”
“In such a situation, who would think this child isn’t from their family?”
Su Xuan shrugged and explained.
After saying these words, Zhou Qiang’s mouth twitched. “No, since you’ve mentioned it, this child was brought over by their second aunt.”
“So logically, there shouldn’t be any issue.”
“You can’t just assume that because of this, Zhou Hao isn’t part of their Zhou family…”
“And then suggest that Chen Jianxun is that child.”
“Even if it’s just a guess, it’s a bit too far-fetched.”
“Suxuan, I remember you’re not the type to draw conclusions based solely on speculation, right?”
Zhou Qiang’s words struck a chord with Su Xuan.
Su Xuan certainly didn’t make this conclusion solely based on speculation. “Actually…”
“Take a look at this.”
While speaking, Su Xuan handed another set of documents to Zhou Qiang.
“These are the records from the medical examinations Zhou Jianguo and Zhao Laidie underwent this year.”
“I had someone retrieve the documents from their hometown.”
“It includes a blood type comparison.”
“But these two blood types couldn’t possibly produce Zhou Hao…”
It was precisely upon seeing this report that Su Xuan began to suspect whether Zhou Hao was really the son of Zhou Jianguo and Zhao Laidie.
Targeting Chen Jianxun was truly an unexpected turn of events…
Initially, Su Xuan only thought that Chen Jianxun might have had a motive.
So he looked into everything Chen Jianxun did after the last confession.
Following the failed confession, Chen Jianxun listened to his colleagues’ advice and went on a blind date.
He got married shortly afterward.
In Su Xuan’s view, this series of actions appeared even more peculiar.
If someone truly liked another person to the extent that they would confess even when the other person had a boyfriend, how could they suddenly decide to marry someone else in a short period of time? Even a deeply wounded heart wouldn’t make that possible!
With this idea in mind, Su Xuan thoroughly investigated Chen Jianxun and finally discovered something amiss.
Chen Jianxun’s wife…
Had another relationship in secret!
Moreover, this person frequently visited Chen Jianxun’s home and occasionally even stayed over…
Initially, Su Xuan thought that this person might not be aware of the situation, like treating Chen Jianxun as a brother. But the thought of his brother getting involved with his wife was too tragic…
However, the more he investigated, the more he realized that Chen Jianxun was well aware of this situation. His wife had gone on a blind date because their relationship, which had been ongoing for years, didn’t have the approval of her parents. Regardless of whether it was before or after their marriage, the two of them were deeply connected.
Chen Jianxun knew about this and chose not to interfere.
So…
Who would willingly wear the cuckold’s hat?
Could Chen Jianxun be that tolerant?
It was unlikely.
It was precisely because of this that Su Xuan had a bold idea.
What if Chen Jianxun and his wife had entered into a contract marriage?
Someone who had just been rejected by the person they liked could only reluctantly go on a blind date.
Someone whose long-term relationship was unacceptable to their parents also had no choice but to go on a blind date.
Could something extraordinary happen between these two?
But such things couldn’t possibly occur, not even in the wildest television dramas!
Su Xuan had no choice but to continue his investigation.
He soon discovered that Chen Jianxun had been sent to their orphanage when he was seven years old.
His accent at the time wasn’t the local one.
Instead, it had a hint of a Yunnan-Guizhou accent.
According to the elderly aunt from the orphanage, it took Chen Jianxun several years to change his accent.
At that moment…
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan’s scalp tingled, and he thought of something.
Wasn’t Zhou Hao’s hometown in the Yunnan-Guizhou region?
After Su Xuan spoke, Zhou Qiang stared at the information, lost in inexplicable thought.
It had to be said that Su Xuan’s words had genuinely shocked him.
Moreover, his subsequent speculations made sense. At least, Zhou Qiang couldn’t find any counterarguments…
“So, you suspect that Chen Jianxun and Zhou Hao’s identities have been switched.”
“You suspect that Chen Jianxun is actually the son of Zhou Jianguo and Zhao Laidi?”
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan nodded.
Zhou Qiang’s face contorted, “But even if that’s the case, it’s not a reason for the other party to harm Zhou Hao.”
“And Chen Jianxun hasn’t taken any substantial actions.”
“He has never done a paternity test or anything…”
“Just based on speculation, thinking he’s Zhou Hao’s parents’ son and causing harm to Zhou Hao, that doesn’t make sense…”
“Furthermore, at the time, Chen Jianxun and Zhou Hao hadn’t been in contact for six months…”
“Didn’t they find substances in Zhou Hao’s body that indicated he had been drugged? How could someone who had no contact with him administer such drugs?”
Zhou Qiang still felt that this reason was far-fetched.
The whole situation seemed surreal, and he had trouble accepting it…
More importantly, Zhou Hao had his own suspected individual.
Now, among the remaining two suspects in the entire case, one was Chen Jianxun as identified by Su Xuan, and the other was the person Zhou Hao believed…
Zhou Hao had always thought that the person he suspected was the key suspect.
And he had substantial evidence.
This evidence was much stronger than Su Xuan’s.
“Su Xuan, do you want to take a look at this?”
“Compared to Chen Jianxun, I still think the person I suspect is more likely to be the suspect….”
