Chapter 2692: Have Always Regarded Him as Our Own Son

“To be fully honest, I can’t bring myself to believe that Cheng Fei did this. Your mother and I have always regarded him as our own son, and we treat both of you equally.

“I believe you, but I am also willing to give Cheng Fei the same trust,” Professor Ai said.

Ning Shu sighed. “Of course I’m not going to visit him. We’re going to get divorced, so why act in such a way to give him hope?”

Professor Ai: …

“You just don’t want to see Cheng Fei because you suspect him.”

Ning Shu shook her head. “I just don’t want to leave you and Mom right now. You guys are still in danger.

“Yes, Li Qiang kidnapped Mom because of his thesis. He was impulsive and didn’t think clearly. However, there must be someone behind him, who knew about his issues and instigated him to do this.”

Professor Ai drove the car in silence.

Ning Shu couldn’t help asking Professor Ai, “For a student of yours to do this… Dad, are you usually very strict with your students?”

Professor Ai cleared his throat. “Do you think your father is that kind of person?

“Students nowadays are too mentally weak. When I was a student, I used to wish that my teachers would critique me more.” Professor Ai rubbed his face.

“Besides, if I am strict, it is for their own good. If they don’t learn from me now, are they supposed to learn after they graduate by groveling at other people?

“They paid for their education, so they should learn to get their money’s worth.”

Listening to Professor Ai chatter on gave Ning Shu an idea of what Professor Ai’s teaching style was like.

Good medicine was oftentimes bitter in taste. Though it worked, it’d still receive complaints for how it tasted.

“Do I really seem that strict?” Professor Ai couldn’t help asking. “I just ask my students to do what they should, is that too much?”

Ning Shu: …

In truth, that was just how people naturally were. Until they experience true suffering, they always want to slide by and keep getting something for nothing.

The same went for these students.

However, when things reached an extreme, it could only go in the opposite direction. Going too far was as bad as not doing enough.

“You’re not strict, Dad. I’m sure you’re a good teacher,” Ning Shu said.

Professor Ai nodded. “I think so too.”

After she arrived home, Ning Shu turned on her laptop. She intended to hack into the national database and check Cheng Fei’s education status information.

Perhaps she’d be able to find out about the orphanage that had housed Cheng Fei as a child.

Ning Shu’s fingers quickly danced above the keyboard. It took her a while to hack into the database.

She entered Cheng Fei’s name.

However, a lot of people with the same name popped up.

Cheng Fei wasn’t a unique name. There were many people with the same name and surname.

Ning Shu used an age filter on the results. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She scrolled and looked at the photos on the school records until she landed on one.

The person in the photo’s eyebrows and eyes looked somewhat similar to the current Cheng Fei.

His looks were still immature, but his gaze was very calm.

This should be him. Ning Shu began to scroll through Cheng Fei’s education history.

There was nothing recorded about the time before he graduated elementary school. The record seemed to only start after he entered junior high school.

He seemed to have transferred here from abroad.

In other words, Cheng Fei wasn’t in the country until he was twelve.

Could it be that Cheng Fei was really adopted? However, why did he suddenly come back?

Ning Shu stared at the information on the computer.

She looked at Cheng Fei’s parents’ column. On their name columns were foreigners’ names, and the record stated that they were dead.

Dead?

This couple had supposedly attended Cheng Fei and the original host’s wedding.

However, this record said that they died when Cheng Fei was twelve years old.
