Chapter 687: Not From the Orphanage
Editor: Millman97
Ee Chen was startled. "You mean to go after the He Lan family?"
"That鈥檚 right." Xinghe continued matter-of-factly like she was talking about the weather, "Only by having them cornered can we get the information we want from them."
Ee Chen was further shocked, not by her confidence but her willingness to trust him so easily. Didn鈥檛 she worry he was lying to her?
Ee Chen gasped. "You believe everything I said?"
"Why wouldn鈥檛 I?" Xinghe asked curiously.
"Aren鈥檛 you afraid I was just spinning yarn and it鈥檒l cause you to harm a family of innocents?" Ee Chen voiced the worry in his heart. It was normal for him to have those thoughts, anyone would.
However, Xinghe鈥檚 answer did surprise him. "I have my own judgement. Since I鈥檝e chosen to cooperate with you, naturally I have a certain degree of faith in you."
"But, I did betray you once before..."
"If I didn鈥檛 deem you as trustworthy, we wouldn鈥檛 be having this conversation."
Ee Chen looked at her bluntly and smiled. "Actually, I was under the assumption that you wouldn鈥檛 trust me anymore, so I鈥檓 really thankful for your trust."
She wouldn鈥檛 trust just anyone, especially after that someone had betrayed her like he did, so he was really appreciative of her willingness to believe in him again.
"However, this is also the last chance I鈥檓 giving you," Xinghe added softly.
Ee Chen nodded in promise. "Don鈥檛 worry, I will not let you down this time!"
If he did, he would no longer be allowed to be a part of her life, and to be around someone as radiant as her was an opportunity Ee Chen felt he shouldn鈥檛 give up. Therefore, Ee Chen swore to be completely loyal to her from then on. They continued discussing for some time, sharing their information.
After that, she started to plot against the He Lan family. She couldn鈥檛 wait anymore; she had to get to the bottom of everything as soon as possible. She wanted to locate her mother and the missing Miss Shen!
She would find them both!
After bidding Ee Chen goodbye, Xinghe led Ali and the rest back to the hospital. She took away all the information of the people who came to do the DNA test and returned to their hotel.
Ali asked, "Xinghe, why are you investigating these people? Their DNA didn鈥檛 match the one you brought, didn鈥檛 it? Or do you suspect that the Shen family鈥檚 second daughter is indeed among these people?"
Xinghe shook her head. "No, definitely not that."
"Then why are you doing this?" Ali pressed.
"I can鈥檛 say for now, but I will find out after I鈥檓 done," Xinghe鈥檚 answer befuddled them but they didn鈥檛 doubt or disturb her because she had always proven herself to be right every time. Therefore, she must have her reasons for doing these things.
Over the past few days, there had been over a hundred women who came to do DNA matching. Xinghe didn鈥檛 go through them one by one but picked a few at random, and the results confirmed her suspicion.
None of the women she investigated were raised in the He Lan family鈥檚 orphanage!
