âThis situation reminds me of a real-life case. Two families discovered their children were swapped, but it wasnât until the child was already an adult. The child, raised by an ordinary family, craved recognition from his wealthy mother but completely rejected his true parents.â
âIt believable. You wouldnât recognize your own child after so long.â
âMy mom works in gynecology,â another user chimed in. âSheâs seen her fair share of getting the wrong baby.
âThis could actually be a blessing in disguise. The baby is still young and doesnât have any memories. Switching them after a few years would be much harder on everyone.â
âAbsolutely. Always get those identification bracelets checked before leaving the hospital!â
The situation was clear. To enact her revenge on the cheating husband, the nurse deliberately switched the babies.
One could only imagine the heartbreak both families would experience if the truth came out later.
âThe situation is very similar to what the chat has pieced together,â Chen Yu confirmed.
âThe nurse swapped your child with the nannyâs grandson. Once the child gets older and accustomed to a life of luxury, sheâll reveal the truth through an anonymous letter.â
âThank you, Dr. Chen, for helping us find our biological child!â Zhao Liang and Su Wen exclaimed, overwhelmed with gratitude. âWeâll never forget your kindness.â
!!..
Their excitement was palpable as they stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Yu in unison.
âThe police will be here shortly,â Chen Yu informed them with a gentle smile. âTheyâll help you retrieve your real child from the nannyâs house.â
Elated, Zhao Liang and Su Wen swiftly paid the 10,000 yuan medical fee.
Once they disconnected from the call, Chen Yu folded his arms and addressed the audience.
âMay I invite the third patient to join the stream?â
A middle-aged man with an aged face appeared on the screen, his online username being [Old Gaoâs hardware wholesale store].
âDr. Chen, my daughter has been missing for almost a month.â
âI⦠I suspect that sheâs already deadâ¦â At this point, the man sobbed.
âYou assumed your daughter was dead because you dreamed that she was covered in blood, right?â Chen Yu asked calmly.
The man wiped his tears with a trembling hand, then choked out a sob before launching into his story.
His name was Gao Jinshui, a single father whoâd meticulously raised his daughter, Gao Wei, alone.
Just last year, after graduating from junior college, Gao Wei ventured to Hangzhou City with a classmate named Chu Tiantian to find a job.
Relying on her beauty and striking figure, Gao Wei landed a sales position alongside her friend at a local luxury car dealership.
A month ago, all contact with Gao Wei ceased.
Frantic and worried, Gao Jinshui traveled to Hangzhou City and visited the car dealership, only to be informed by the manager that his daughter hadnât shown up for work in days.
Theyâd even sent colleagues and Chu Tiantian to check on Gao Wei at her apartment, but to no avail.
Left with no choice, the store advised Gao Jinshui to involve the police.
He immediately filed a police report and plastered his daughterâs photo throughout the streets and alleys, hoping to elicit help from the local community.
He even reached out to television stations and websites to spread the word, but there was a catch.
The exorbitant fees demanded by the media outlets were far beyond his means.
Forced to rely on free online platforms, his posts were swiftly deletedâdeemed to be violations of website regulations.
The flyers distributed around town met a similar fate, deemed unsightly and detrimental to the cityâs image.
âAll I want is to find my daughter,â Gao Jinshui pleaded, his voice cracking.
âWhy is it so difficult?â Tears streamed down his face as he confided his terrifying drcamâa vision of his daughter bathed in blood.
âI⦠Iâm afraid sheâs already dead. Everyone calls you a god, Dr. Chen. Please, tell me, is my daughter alive?â
Overcome with desperation, Gao Jinshui nearly sank to his knees.
âDonât kneel!â Chen Yu firmly stopped him.
âWhile I canât definitively say whether your daughter is alive, if youâre willing to trust me, come to my consultation room tomorrow at noon. By then, Iâll have answers for you.â
A glimmer of hope flickered in Gao Jinshuiâs eyes. âI believe you! Iâm willing to believe you!â
âIâll send you the address through a private message later,â Chen Yu informed him.
âTonight, get some rest. Clear your mind. Come on time tomorrow at noon.â
Following the private message containing the address, Gao Jinshui expressed his gratitude and ended the call.
âThe third case is a bit unique,â Chen Yu addressed the audience. âUnfortunately, I canât share the entire session with you. I apologize for the inconvenience. This concludes our livestream for today.â
With those words, Chen Yu ended the livestream.
Standing outside his consultation room, he gazed up at the overcast sky.
In just two weeks, the Mystic Sect of Wonders Conference would unfold, an event destined to shape the lives of many.
Having recently ascended to the Golden Core realm, Chen Yuâs ability to divine the secrets of the heavens reached unparalleled heights.
The sect masters and cultivators of the three major sects paled in comparison, their skills limited to the early or middle stages of the Foundation Establishment realm.
However, the future holds uncertainties.
Chen Yu was keenly aware of the recent rise in demonic activity, with an increasing frequency of malevolent entities appearing before humans.
The next day, as noon approached, a sight unlike any other unfolded outside Chen Yuâs consultation room.
Over a dozen vehicles, each bearing a distinctive license plate, lined the street. A queue of men and women, dressed casually but adorned with a black cat emblem on their chests, patiently waited their turn at the gate.
âDr. Chen, who arc all these people?â Gao Jinshui, newly arrived and bewildered by the scene, stammered in confusion.
âRelax,â Chen Yu assured Gao Jinshui dismissively. âTheyâre not a threat.â
Turning to Li Changjun, he added, âCaptain Li, the next case will be a bit of a surprise, but donât worry.â
âDonât insult my courage, Doctor Chen,â Li Changjun countered coolly. âYears as captain of the Crimical Case Investigation Unit have exposed me to all sorts of criminals. Cowardice? Thatâs a joke. The bad guys should be afraid of us!â
A wave of laughter erupted from the dozens of officers, their morale boosted by the ânew bulletproof vestsâ Chen Yu had provided and the inherent thrill of their high-stakes work.
âGood to hear,â Chen Yu replied with a slight smile as he led Gao Jinshui towards Li Changjunâs car.
âHold on, Dr. Chen, where are we headed?â Li Changjun inquired from the passenger seat, budding his seatbelt.
âLakeside Villa Complex,â Chen Yu answered.
âLakeside Villa Complex?!â Li Changjunâs brow furrowed. âDoctor Chen, is this case connected to⦠them?â
âYouâll see soon enough. Letâs move,â Chen Yu instructed.
âOn it!â Li Changjun acknowledged, and with that, his car pulled away from River Street, followed by the rest of the convoy.
Unease gnawed at Li Changjun as they drove.
The Lakeside Villa Complex wasnât your average neighborhood.
Home to dozens of luxurious villas, it housed some of Hangzhou City and the surrounding citiesâ most influential figures.
A case involving these wealthy and powerful individuals could get messy fast..
