Chapter 228: They Really Are Super Careful!

Hearing this, the corner of Du An Rao’s mouth could not help but twitch a few times. She felt that Fu Rui Xiang or the two elders of the Fu family must watch a lot of those dog-blood family dramas about babies being switched at birth. They knew that if you did not run several paternity tests, someone might tamper with the results.

Xi Jing Yue and the other person thought: “……” Uh, that actually sounded about right.

Facts proved that as long as there was no deliberate cheating by some schemer, no matter how much you tried, a fake result would not become real, and a real one would not easily turn fake either.

Once the paternity test results came out, Fu Rui Xiang brought Fu Si Li and his adoptive father back to the Fu family together.

Before that, the family had not even known the other side existed. After more than twenty years apart, meeting again by surprise was no doubt a very new and strange experience for all of them.

After the joy and excitement of recognizing their blood relative, it was time to settle accounts.

“According to our investigation, back then Mr. Fu’s mother had a C-section at the maternal and child hospital in City A and safely gave birth to two baby boys. But the attending physician who did the surgery for Mr. Fu’s mother had a family member who got in trouble with the law, so someone caught hold of that weakness and he was threatened by Old Master Fu’s enemy.”

“After the two children were born, they lied and said that one of the babies had already been weak in the womb, and that the early labor had been caused by fright and a blow, which had hurt that already weak child. They said that as soon as that child was born, he wasn’t breathing and could not be saved.”

“Besides that, all the medical staff in the operating room were also either threatened or bought off for similar reasons. So the Fu family did not notice anything wrong right away. While they were out of control with grief, the other side found a chance to move the newborn Mr. Fu out of the hospital.”

Here, Du Bi Xiao paused and said: “The reason they only said one child had died, instead of killing both children like that enemy wanted, was because the people who delivered the babies already felt guilty. They were afraid that if the Fu family lost both children at once, the family would lose control and start a serious investigation.”

“Old Master Fu’s enemy was hiding in the dark. If things really came to light, he could pat his backside and run away. But the doctors and nurses couldn’t. So they saved one child to leave themselves a way out.”

Du An Rao’s expression turned a little strange. These people really were super careful with their evil plans.

Hearing her thought, Du Bi Xiao’s eyelid twitched too. If this group had not been so careful, the truth would not have been hidden for so many years, only to be found by the person in front of her by accident.

With the permission of the people involved, Du Bi Xiao picked out some things she was allowed to tell them.

“We already followed this lead and found all the doctors and nurses who delivered Mr. Fu’s mother back then. According to them, Old Master Fu’s enemy originally wanted them to kill both children, so that everyone in the Fu family would feel the pain of losing their loved ones.”

“But in the end, they were still ordinary people whose consciences had not completely died. Going along with the enemy’s request and helping with his plan was selfishness. Leaving one child alive was for their own safety. But when it came to actually taking a life with their own hands, they did not dare. So what to do with the child they had secretly left alive became a problem they needed to solve right away.”

“How did they deal with the child in the end?” Du An Rao asked.

“The nurse in charge of dealing with him left the baby beside a trash can near the hospital, hoping someone would pick him up.”

More than twenty years ago, security cameras were not as common as they are now. The nurse was also worried that if she carried the baby too far by herself, she would stand out. If strangers found her, that would be one thing. If the enemy found out, not only would the baby not survive, she herself would be in huge trouble.

So after walking only two streets with the baby, she put him down.

Whether he lived or died would be up to fate. At least he would not die directly at her hands, and her conscience would feel a bit better.

But while her conscience felt better, for a baby who had only been in this world a few hours, it was a start in life like the sky falling apart.

“My dad, my adoptive father,” Fu Si Li said, “told me that he passed that street corner by chance at around three or four in the morning. He vaguely heard the weak cry of a baby. At first he thought he was hearing things, but to be safe he still went in to check. Then he saw me placed next to the trash can. The swaddling clothes around me were all wet, my lips were purple from the cold, and my crying was very weak.”

As he spoke, Fu Si Li gave a small bitter smile: “If no one had found me for another hour or two, I probably would have frozen to death there.”

This was also the main reason that, after learning the “papa” he had called for more than twenty years was not his biological father, he still treated him as his only family, working all over the place to earn money for his treatment, just so that his father could live longer and stay with him a few more years.

His birth parents had given birth to him and given him life. But his adoptive father had given him new life too, and had raised him with hard work and sacrifice for so many years. That kindness was something he would have to remember and repay all his life.

The Fu family clearly understood this as well. They did not throw away their benefactor just because they had found their lost child.

When they brought Fu Si Li back, they brought his adoptive father to City B too. They arranged the best medical team for him and even wanted him to move into the Fu family home with Fu Si Li.

But thinking about his father’s personality, Fu Si Li knew that if his dad really moved into the Fu family home, he would probably feel very uncomfortable. So, with Fu Rui Xiang’s help, he bought a house right next door to the Fu family. Then they broke through the walls between the two courtyards in the back. This way they all had their own private space, but the two houses were joined like one big family, both proper and convenient.

“After my dad picked me up, he was afraid I was a child someone had lost by accident. So he took me to the nearby police bureau right away to file a report. Because I had been left in the cold right after I was born, I got very sick. After my condition finally became stable, he went back to the police bureau to ask, but it turned out no one had reported a missing baby. My dad then thought I was a child my family had abandoned on purpose.”

Of course, at that time the Fu family did not even know that Fu Si Li existed. How could they report a missing child?

You could say this whole thing was one big mix-up. Neither side was at fault. The only one to blame was that heartless enemy.

“The day my dad found me, his wife and daughter had just died in an accident. Two lives were lost at once.”

The way the topic suddenly turned caught Du An Rao and Xi Jing Yue off guard. Both of them were shocked.

“In a single day, he lost his wife and his child,” Fu Si Li said quietly. “My dad said he felt like dying himself. He never thought that right after he walked out of the hospital, he would run into me. Once he made sure I was an abandoned baby, he took my appearance as a sign from his deceased wife and daughter, asking him to keep living. He shifted the love he had for them onto me and raised me all by himself. That’s why I can be here today.”

After hearing this, Du An Rao and the others all felt a bit moved. The story was full of twists, and the villains were indeed hateful.

But two lives that should have been lost, and two families who were both bitterly unlucky, had crossed paths by accident because of this huge event. They were saved in an unexpected way and became one family. In a way, this might be a small kindness from Heaven Above to these suffering people.
