Chapter 1572: Chapter 1572 Sisterly Night Talk 2

Commander Rong said, "The age recorded on the household registration might not be accurate. You should know this—my recorded age is actually two years younger than my real age. By the way, who are his parents?"

Old Zhang replied, "Li Jiaoyang’s parents passed away early. He grew up in an orphanage, so his age is indeed not quite accurate."

"Orphanage?" Commander Rong never expected to hear this answer. His brows furrowed. "He has no parents? How did he end up in an orphanage? Did you investigate this? Old Zhang, please look into it in detail."

"I’ve already inquired for you. You can thank Old Zhu, the deputy director of the railway bureau, who just so happens to have a wife who loves matchmaking and spreading gossip. As soon as I mentioned Li Jiaoyang, he immediately remembered." Old Zhang laughed twice at his own words. "Old Zhu said his wife had tried multiple times to set up matches for Li Jiaoyang, so when she heard I was asking about him, she couldn’t stop talking."

"Enough, Old Zhang. If you’ve got news, just tell me quickly. Don’t you know I’m incredibly anxious?"

Old Zhang became serious and said, "Li Jiaoyang is indeed an orphan. He was sent to the orphanage before the founding of the country. Naturally, no one knows who his parents are. Old Zhu’s sister-in-law said that this boy was a good kid—exceptionally smart and well-behaved. At a very young age, he stood out. Later, he was sponsored by a master in the art world to attend school. His grades were excellent. After graduating from university, he was allocated work by his unit. After working as a conductor for two years, he got transferred to the railway bureau, and his promotions have been relatively fast."

Commander Rong felt a sharp, piercing pain in his heart. "No parents? An orphan?"

"That’s right!" Old Zhang sighed. "We’ve all lived through war-torn times. Weren’t orphans everywhere? No one thought it was strange that Li Jiaoyang was one of them."

Commander Rong nodded. "You’re right, you’re right. But how did he end up an orphan?"

"Old Rong, your son being stolen back then—maybe the kidnappers couldn’t sell him, or perhaps something happened to the kidnappers themselves. That’s how a child could end up becoming an orphan," Old Zhang said. "That boy does indeed have a black mole on his eyebrow—the right one, to be precise. As for whether there’s also a mole on his foot, Li Jiaoyang is currently on leave. Old Zhu’s sister-in-law doesn’t know, but I’ll arrange for someone to go and ask at the orphanage later."

"Thank you, Old Zhang. Give me the child’s exact address. I’ll have Rong Yuan make a trip. He mentioned last month that he’d be on leave this month."

"Alright!"

After hanging up the phone, Commander Rong covered his face and stayed silent for a long time.

He had originally thought that it was Li Jun and his wife who had taken the child and refused to return him, but he now received this kind of result instead.

Where are Li Jun and his wife? How did Li Jiaoyang become an orphan? These questions—most likely, even finding Li Jiaoyang won’t yield clear answers.

Commander Rong unclasped his hands and immediately dialed the phone to the Wucheng military unit.

"Commander Lu, if Rong Yuan has free time, could you please ask him to take a call?" Rong Yuan was only a battalion commander, living in the military base, and wasn’t entitled to have an individual phone line installed.

Lu Jiang hesitated. "Commander Rong, if there’s anything, you can just have me pass on the message. Why must he take the call himself?"

Commander Rong, hearing this, countered, "Has Rong Yuan gone on a mission? Or has he been injured?"

Lu Jiang, slightly embarrassed, replied, "He was injured while rescuing others. He’s currently in the hospital. My wife is a doctor and said he looked very familiar during the rescue. When she asked Rong Yuan about it, she got an unexpected answer. Commander Rong, you’ve raised an excellent son. He saved the lives and property of the people. The military is currently preparing to recommend him for commendation."
