Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 18: Investigate

While waiting for the meal, Xiao Ruofeng pulled up the registration webpage: "Fill out your personal information and upload your ID card, and that’s it."

"By the way, did you bring your ID card? I’ll scan it for you," Xiao Ruofeng said. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"I brought it." Ye Fei handed her ID card to Xiao Ruofeng.

Xiao Ruofeng took it casually, and suddenly his gaze fixed on the ID card.

The address on Ye Fei’s ID card showed she was from Ye City!

"You’re from Ye City? I couldn’t tell from your accent at all," Xiao Ruofeng said with a smile.

Ye City is in the south, where the local accent can be quite heavy when speaking Mandarin.

But Ye Fei’s Mandarin didn’t have any trace of an accent.

"I’ve been in B City for five years, so I corrected my accent," Ye Fei said with a smile.

Xiao Ruofeng quickly calculated that five years ago was exactly the same year Zhao Gushen went to Ye City.

Xiao Ruofeng hurriedly said, "I’ll go scan your ID card."

With that, he grabbed Ye Fei’s ID card and dashed off.

"Uh—" Ye Fei wanted to stop him to tell him there was already a scanner-printer combo machine in the office.

But it was too late.

Ye Fei glanced awkwardly at the scanner-printer combo machine beside her, just as Ye Xiaomo said, "Uncle Xiao is so silly, yet he can be the special assistant to the CEO. I’m really worried about this company."

Xiao Ruofeng, deeply worried by Ye Xiaomo’s comment, didn’t even knock the door as he charged into Zhao Gushen’s office.

He was afraid Ye Fei might see him and remembered to close the door.

"Mr. Shen!" Xiao Ruofeng rushed over, almost collapsing into Zhao Gushen’s arms over the office desk.

"..." Zhao Gushen disdainfully pushed him away, "Stay away from me."

Xiao Ruofeng: "..."

He’s been working tirelessly for such a heartless person for seven years!

"Mr. Shen, haven’t you noticed how much Ye Xiaomo looks like you?" Xiao Ruofeng asked in a low voice.

Without thinking, Zhao Gushen said, "How could I possibly look like that narcissistic kid!"

"Mr. Shen, really, you should find a chance to look in the mirror with him. He really looks like he was carved from the same mold as you," Xiao Ruofeng said. "I thought he looked familiar at that wonton stall last time, but just couldn’t remember who he resembled. Then today when you were holding him, I suddenly realized he looks just like you. That’s why he seemed so familiar."

"What are you trying to say?" Zhao Gushen said coldly, "Do you want to tell me that boy could be my long-lost son?"

He’s single!

Where would a son come from!

Except for that woman five years ago...

Zhao Gushen frowned.

If she had indeed planned it, had his son, and now five years had passed with the boy being this old, would she not come looking for him?

What kind of plotting person would be so naive!

Thinking it over, suddenly, Zhao Gushen’s face darkened.

Xiao Ruofeng didn’t know what Zhao Gushen was thinking, so he directly showed Zhao Gushen Ye Fei’s ID card.

"Mr. Shen, what a coincidence, Ye Fei is from Ye City. Also, she came to B City five years ago. Five years ago was exactly the time you..." Xiao Ruofeng stopped when he saw Zhao Gushen’s suddenly darkened expression.

"Whether it’s a coincidence or a misunderstanding, I think it’s a clue," Xiao Ruofeng said.

"Investigate," Zhao Gushen said in a deep voice.

They’ve been searching for someone for five years without a single clue.

Now, they finally had a lead. Though uncertain, it was still something worth being happy about.

Yet, judging by Zhao Gushen’s reaction, it didn’t seem to be a happy occasion whatsoever.
