She thought that since she was out today, she might as well make the trip. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have the time to come since she was going to the southern boundaries.
“Miss Ye, there you are.” The moment Ye Leng’an entered, an ordinary-looking man, who was the boss of the detective agency, immediately came forward with a smile on his face. “Please take a seat. I’ll go and pour some tea first.”
He attached great importance to Ye Leng’an, a very important client. After being a private detective for so many years, he had never met such a generous client. Therefore, he naturally had to maintain a good relationship with her.
“There’s no need.” Ye Leng’an stopped him and said directly, “Mr. Ma, just tell me the progress directly!”
After hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Mr. Ma, whose full name was Ma Lei, did not insist. Instead, he turned around and took a document from the table. He sat opposite Ye Leng’an and handed it to her, saying, “Miss Ye, please take a look. This is the result of my recent investigation.”
After Ye Leng’an took the document, Ma Lei continued to explain, “I’ve already gone to the hospital where Li Zhaohui gave birth. She did give birth to a daughter, but the baby fell critically ill as soon as she was born. The hospital tried its best to save her, but she was not revived. They had even informed her family. However, for some reason, the baby came back to life. I heard that the doctors and nurses in the hospital were very surprised. She was already dead, but when they were about to deal with her, they found that she was breathing again and her breathing was even much more stable than when she was just born.”
Ye Leng’an nodded as she flipped through the documents in her hands. Obviously, the baby that Ma Lei was talking about was her.
“However, not only the doctors and nurses in the hospital but also the neighbors of the place where they used to live had never seen the woman with the crescent birthmark on her wrist. That person seemed only to be mentioned by Ye Shen and Li Zhaohui and had never existed in real life.”
He even suspected that Ye Shen and Li Zhaohui were lying. Because as long as a person appeared, there would be traces left behind. However, this woman who was said to have shown up several times didn’t leave any trace. This didn’t make sense at all.
“They didn’t lie.” Ye Leng’an said, “There’s no need for them to lie. Because I’m indeed not their daughter.”
Back then, they had already laid their cards on the table. There was no need for them to lie to her at all. Moreover, that house was too tempting for them. It was enough for them to reveal those so-called secrets.
Ma Lei hesitated for a moment before he continued, “Miss Ye, actually, when we were in the hospital back then, those doctors and nurses also suspected that the baby had been swapped. Then, they checked the surveillance cameras inside and outside the emergency room and found that from the time the child was declared dead to the time the child miraculously came back to life, no one had entered the emergency room or approached the child. So although they had some doubts, they had to leave the matter unsettled.”
Ye Leng’an was stunned. “Did you see the surveillance video with your own eyes? Or is it just hearsay?”
“The surveillance video should have been deleted since it had been a long time.” Ma Lei said, “However because the incident back then was a little strange, the hospital deliberately kept this surveillance video because they were worried that there would be any disputes. They kept it as evidence. I bribed the person who kept the video and saw it with my own eyes. Furthermore, I made a copy and found a professional to verify it. There was no editing or other processing of the video. It was definitely the original.”
Ye Leng’an held her chin with one hand. After thinking for a moment, she asked, “Do you have the video now? Can you make a copy so that I can take it back later?”
Hearing Ye Leng’an’s request, Ma Lei quickly said, “Miss Ye, you can just take it back. I don’t need to keep a record here.”
Ma Lei immediately got up to look for the videotape.
“Mr. Ma, don’t worry.” Ye Leng’an stopped him.. “Is this all you know?”
