Chapter 924: Chapter 0924: Confirming Identity 2

Feng Qingxue couldn’t understand why the Lao Family hadn’t found Han Ye in their last lifetime. If Chen Xueniang had saved Han Ye, the Cheng Baoguo couple should have noticed something, considering that Cheng Baoguo had extensive connections with the higher-ups. They couldn’t have been unaware of the child lost by the Lao Family, and besides, the relationship between Wang Cuilan and Chen Xueniang wasn’t bad at all.

Now it wasn’t the last lifetime, and everything remained unknown.

Nevertheless, Feng Qingxue was very happy for the Lao Family and Han Ye, only feeling slightly guilty towards Chen Xueniang, who had adopted Han Ye.

Chen Xueniang, with her sharp wit, instantly guessed Feng Qingxue’s thoughts and couldn’t help smiling, "What’s there to feel sorry about? To tell the truth, I am not accustomed to looking after children by myself. It was merely because I found him, and he called me ’mother,’ that I felt a surge of pity and decided to adopt him. Now that he can return to his parents, and to such a fine family at that, I am happy for him."

The son of a reformed prostitute and the grandson of a founding revolutionary, their futures were as different as heaven and earth.

Thus, Chen Xueniang sincerely rejoiced for Chen Chi.

Upon returning to the Cheng Family’s home, Wang Cuilan couldn’t help feeling a myriad of emotions, "I never imagined that such an event could befall the Lao Family. With the recent torrential developments, we hadn’t heard any news at all. Who would have the audacity to steal the young grandson of Commander Lao? What grievances could they have?"

The information was elusive, and no one present could ascertain it.

Therefore, Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang didn’t stay long and quickly took their leave.

Originally, the couple planned to visit Zhao Anbang, but Cheng Baoguo informed them that Zhao Anbang had gone on a business trip.

Lu Jiang kept his promise and, taking Feng Qingxue with him, headed straight for the recycling station under the guise of reusing waste—because the old leader had once said, "Corruption and waste are the greatest of crimes."

The staff at the recycling station couldn’t help muttering, "Why do people always come here to buy second-hand goods!"

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue exchanged a glance. The world was full of clever people; it seemed others had beaten them to the punch.

"Do people come often? What kind of second-hand goods do they buy?" Feng Qingxue asked with a smile.

"They buy old furniture to take home for refurbishing, or old newspapers and books to paste on the walls. Since there are no coupons available, one simply can’t buy good quality furniture and has to resort to making it themselves. Isn’t that why you’re here too?"

Lu Jiang hastily replied, "Yes, exactly. We just want to make a few beds for our kids of marrying age and a couple of pieces of furniture for the house."

The selection inside the station was more than ten times greater than the county’s recycling station, and the chances of finding valuable antiques and relics were extremely high.

With Lu Jiang’s cover, Feng Qingxue made her move to take small items swiftly and cleanly. With so many discarded items, no one would notice the disappearance of little things.

Because it was theft, Feng Qingxue felt uneasy, so following the example she had seen, she took two small yellow croakers, each the size of a finger joint and together weighing a little over seventy grams, and instructed Lu Jiang to give them to the recycling station’s staff, claiming to have found them in the drawer of a cabinet.
