Chapter 2693: Chapter 2697: Fifth Master Gu’s Deduction

The orphanage receives two remittance slips each month, one from Lo Yanwan and one from Lo Mingze.

At first, he believed it.

But after so many years without seeing Lo Yanwan, with only Lo Mingze returning to visit him and the children at the orphanage, he began to have doubts.

What kind of secretive work could keep someone hidden for so many years?

He asked Lo Mingze if something had happened to Lo Yanwan, but Lo Mingze adamantly refused to acknowledge this, insisting Lo Yanwan was living well.

He was skeptical, plagued by this situation, feeling terribly uncomfortable, not knowing if he should report to the police to find Lo Yanwan.

Gu Qi found an acquaintance at the police station to accompany him to the orphanage.

The director saw the police and told Gu Qi everything he knew.

Gu Qi then used his connections at the police station to quickly locate Lo Mingze.

Initially, Lo Mingze’s attitude towards him was very cold, unwilling to say a word, and turned away immediately.

He mentioned that Huo Zhongqi was nearly killed by Huo Qihang in a hit-and-run and had his heart removed, which suddenly provoked Lo Mingze. He gripped his collar tightly and became wild-eyed and furious.

Gu Qi said that now he and Lo Mingze were together, and Lo Mingze wanted to see Huo Zhongqi.

Gu Qi asked Gu Junzhu for permission to arrange a meeting between Lo Mingze and Huo Zhongqi.

Gu Junzhu agreed.

Over twenty minutes later, Gu Qi brought Lo Mingze in.

Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei sent the children to the backyard.

Lo Mingze entered the living room, scanning the surroundings, and finally fixed his gaze on Gu Junzhu, "Where is Huo Zhongqi?"

Gu Junzhu pointed to the sofa opposite him, "Please have a seat."

Lo Mingze pursed his lips and sat on the sofa across from Gu Junzhu, "Where is Huo Zhongqi?"

Gu Junzhu curled his lips, "He is fine."

Lo Mingze tightened his lips again, "I want to see him."

Gu Junzhu ignored his request and instead asked, "Huo Zhongqi is the son of Lo Yanwan and Huo Qihang, isn’t he?"

Lo Mingze’s hands, resting on his knees, suddenly clenched into fists.

His thin lips pressed even tighter, saying nothing.

Ye Xingbei curiously observed the man.

He was tall, slim, and very pale.

His features were well-defined; not particularly striking but certainly not unattractive.

He wore a pair of black-framed glasses, with a gentle but somber aura, dressed neatly in brand-name clothes, trousers, and shoes.

Gu Qi mentioned that he was incredibly talented in computing and is now an executive director at a computing company in Beijing, earning a considerable salary and is quite accomplished for his age.

Sensing Ye Xingbei’s gaze, he glanced at her then returned his gaze to Gu Junzhu, "No, Huo Zhongqi is not my sister’s and Huo Qihang’s child!"

Gu Junzhu chuckled lightly, "Does hiding it still make sense now? My subordinates have already arranged for a paternity test between Huo Zhongqi and Huo Qihang, the result will be available by early tomorrow morning at the latest, how much longer can you keep this secret?"

Lo Mingze’s fists on his knees tightened further, and the veins at his temple bulged prominently.

He clenched his teeth tightly, still saying nothing.

"Your feelings for Huo Zhongqi are complex, aren’t they?" Gu Junzhu looked at him deeply, "Huo Zhongqi is the son of Huo Qihang and Lo Yanwan. His blood is half Huo Qihang’s and half Lo Yanwan’s."

"You despise him because he is Huo Qihang’s son, but you care for him because he is also Lo Yanwan’s son."

"Because you loathe him, you swapped Lo Yanwan’s child with Zang Jiayi’s, but because you care for him, when you heard Huo Qihang planned to kill Huo Zhongqi and take his heart to exchange with Huo Zhonglin’s, you were deeply anxious..."
