Chapter 850 - Kin

Although Nangong Qin’s mind was bubbling with doubt, there was nothing he could do but to go along before everything was confirmed.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he nodded.

“You said that Yu’er gave birth to a girl? That girl is now your wife? How did you find out that she’s Yu’er’s child? Also, how did you get your hands on Nangong Yun’s blood?” Nangong Qin went straight to the point.

“It’s like this. Our Gu family owns a few small private hospitals in Emperor District. Once, Third Young Master was injured and had his blood drawn at our hospital. As you know, sir, the country is advocating for blood banks to be built, so we retained a small blood sample of every patient who comes to our hospital.”

Noticing the absence of displeasure on Nangong Qin’s face, Gu Mingzhe continued, “My wife’s name is Zhong Qianqian. We grew up together in the same city. Her mother passed away 17 years ago. The only thing her mother left her is an emerald jade necklace with a crescent-shaped pendant.”

Gu Mingzhe’s words made Nangong Qin narrow his eyes. His previous calmness was instantly replaced by a sense of urgency. Now utterly agitated, Nangong Qin grabbed Gu Mingzhe’s hand. “And then? You sent their blood samples for a DNA test?”

Gu Mingzhe knew that Nangong Yu had three elder brothers who loved their sister as much as their lives. He knew how excited Nangong Qin was at this moment. He passed the DNA test report to Nangong Qin. As Nangong Qin looked like he was about to tear the report open, Gu Mingzhe added, “Previously, I was fortunate enough to visit the Nangong Residence as a guest. I knew I saw this pendant before. When I went back, I asked Qianqian for her blood sample. Since I couldn’t be too sure, I sent Qianqian’s blood and Third Young Master’s blood for the DNA test first. This is the test report.”

At this instant, Nangong Qin’s hands were trembling as he muttered the results. “Their DNA is 76% similar. The result proves that they’re… kin!”

Nangong Qin’s eyes were instantly brimming with redness. To avoid embarrassing himself in front of the man who was a few generations younger than him, he finally blinked back his tears.

“Where is the little girl now? Is she at the Gu residence? How do we get there? Bring me there immediately! I want to see her first!”

Gu Mingzhe felt a bit awkward after hearing Nangong Qin’s words. It was hard to bring the matter up.

“What’s wrong?”

When Nangong Qin saw Gu Mingzhe’s expression, his heart sank. He asked with concern, “Did… something happen to the little girl? Is it a blood disease? Everyone in our Nangong family can go to the hospital for a blood test! If she’s really Yu’er’s daughter, then she’s our family!” After saying that, he added, “She’s our precious family! So as long as we can save her, we’ll pay no matter how much it costs.”

“That’s not it. Don’t worry, she’s not sick.”

Nangong Qin was a smart man. His brain had gone into hyperdrive when he heard the news. Hearing Gu Mingzhe’s reaction, Nangong Qin’s expression turned grim as he recollected himself and asked, “Did she commit a crime? Or was she implicated by your Gu family?”

“No, no, of course not! If we’re talking about being implicated, it’s our Gu family that won’t hold on long after getting dragged along because of her. That’s why I’ve shamelessly approached Chairman Nangong. If this was a problem that we could solve on our own, I definitely wouldn’t have interrupted you as you go about your day.”

When Nangong Qin realized that things might not be that simple and that Zhong Qianqian might not turn out to be as good as he expected, his heart sank.

That was Yu’er’s child.

Yu’er was gone. If her only child who wandered outside on her own had gone astray, how could they explain this to Yu’er after they rejoined her in the land of the dead?
