Chapter 923: Chapter 0923: Confirming Identity 1

With the matter of Chen Chi being Han Ye, Feng Qingxue gleaned an additional threefold evidence.

Because when the Lao Family had been searching for Han Ye and publicized it to the outside world, they mentioned that at the time of his disappearance, he had a bullet head hanging around his neck—a relic dug out from the flesh of General Lao during the war, intended to be kept as a memento. Yet, the child insisted on wearing it around his neck.

Upon hearing this matter, Cheng Baoguo and Wang Cuilan immediately took Feng Qingxue and Chen Xueniang to make a phone call.

The municipal committee office naturally had a telephone, and Cheng Baoguo knew the phone number of General Lao’s household.

After the call connected, General Lao’s loud voice rang from the other end, "Hello, who is it?"

His voice was loud but could not conceal a hint of exhaustion and anxiety.

"Comrade Lao, do you not recognize my voice?" Feng Qingxue held the receiver and spoke, "If you can’t recognize it, shall I let Xibao speak to you? You and your grandson are more familiar, right?"

General Lao immediately recognized her, "Oh, Xibao’s mother, why do you have the time to call me?"

Feng Qingxue did not reveal the truth directly. She said, "It’s just that Xibao misses Lao Yi. Yesterday, we saw a child who looks incredibly like Lao Yi—I have seen Lao Yi’s photograph, and at a glance, he was the spitting image of Lao Yi at three or four years old. Xibao actually remembers Lao Yi, and upon seeing this child, he started fussing to see Lao Yi. Is Lao Yi with you?"

"What did you say?" General Lao sat up suddenly, his voice urgent, "You saw a child who looks very similar to Lao Yi when he was three or four years old? A little boy? Does he have any distinguishing features? Quick, quick, tell me!"

"There’s a small red mole on his forehead..."

Before she finished speaking, tears filled General Lao’s eyes, "Xiaoxue, tell me, where is that child? How did you come to meet him? Does he have a bullet head hanging around his neck? Quick, tell me!"

Feng Qingxue sighed in her heart and feigned surprise, "General, do you know this child? Ajiang and I have taken leave to return to our hometown, and this child was picked up by my friend at the roadside. Unable to find the child’s family, she formally adopted him. I’ve asked my friend, and she picked him up last winter. When she found him, he indeed had a bullet head around his neck."

"Then can you take a look for me, see if he has a blue birthmark that covers most of his butt cheek?" General Lao asked eagerly, "On the left side of the butt, even above the crease, a large area."

"Please wait a moment, I’m going to ask—my friend and I are together now!"

Feng Qingxue turned to ask Chen Xueniang, who nodded, "Yes, he has such a large birthmark; it seems there’s no mistake! Tell him, Achi has a scar on his left arm, looking like a burn."

Feng Qingxue repeated this to General Lao. The veteran of military life, the old revolutionary, began sobbing, "My grandson, my grandson, my little grandson Han Ye! Last winter, he vanished in the southeast; his disappearance tore a hole in the heart of our entire family. We couldn’t find him anywhere; his mother’s eyes are nearly cried blind. Thank you, Xibao’s mother, thank you, and thank your friend! Thank you!"

He knew that out of the blue, Feng Qingxue would not have made this call if it wasn’t for her suspicion about the child’s appearance, using Xibao as a pretext to convey this information, especially since their relationship wasn’t so close as to warrant such information.

"You don’t need to be so polite. I just thought that Lao Yi and this child looked like brothers, so I had to ask."

General Lao blew his nose, his voice thick and nasal, "A life-saving grace, the favor of bringing news, how could it be just politeness? Are you in Huaibei City? I will have the child’s parents rush over immediately!"
