Chapter 216
When Zhi Xia looked back, her deeply furrowed brows did not relax for a long time.
Seeing that she remained silent, Pei Jing thought she was still angry and felt very guilty at the same time.
But some words were not good to say in front of others.
He put the child next to Zhi Xia, stood up and asked, "Third Brother An JingZhi should have brought back another child, right?"
"Here." An JingZhi held the child and squeezed over, asking him, "Have you confirmed that the child is ours? Should we return this one to the parents? Just now the father of the child came over to take him back, but I didn't dare let him hold the child. It was only after the hospital president intervened that I sent him away. "
Zhi Xia had already seen that child. No matter the size or appearance, there was too much difference from the child she had given birth to.
But the one next to her, although more like the size of multiples, also had a very big difference in appearance and looks.
Pei Jing had rushed out earlier and had not seen the other two newborn children yet.
Zhi Xia reminded him, "The other two are also sons. Go take a look."
Pei Jing indeed hadn't had a chance to see them yet. Hearing her words, he walked over.
The two newborns were lying side by side. Their face shapes were slightly smaller than ordinary children's, one was thinner, and the other's face was slightly chubbier, but their skin was very good, clean and cute.
This should have been a good thing, but Pei Jing's face inevitably sank.
He strode back to Zhi Xia's side and looked seriously at the child he had just brought back, feeling extremely frustrated.
No matter how capable he was, it was impossible for him to judge whether this was his child based on appearance alone.
Even if the child didn't look like his, what if?
How to identify the child was something that made the usually composed him also panic. "Wang Caixiang has been taken away by the police station. I'm going there now," Pei Jing said in a low voice as he stood up to leave.
Zhi Xia stopped him first, "Don't go. Let everyone else leave first. I have something to tell you."
The others didn't quite understand what was going on between the two of them, but they didn't dare to casually interfere.
It was about the children, so Pei Jing was very anxious, but he knew that Zhi Xia had extraordinary abilities, so he thought she might have a way.
Pei Jing turned to the people in the room, "You guys go out first. I need to talk to Zhi Xia."
Zhou Nan still hesitated, wanting to ask what they were going to talk about, but An JingZhi pulled him out first.
Pei Jing was no fool either, and since the baby swap, he had reacted the fastest. Since he said this, he must have his reasons.
As for Zhi Xia, he discovered that although this daughter was not very obedient, she was more sober than all of them, showing no particularly strong emotional fluctuations even when she heard her baby had been swapped, not even as much of a reaction as Zhou Nan and the old lady.
What An JingZhi didn't know was that after Zhi Xia found out about this, her first reaction was to look at the child who had been brought back. When no one else noticed, she had already plucked some lanugo from the baby's head, mixed with her own hair, and put it in the trading device to give to the breeding magnate.
The modern dimension she was in had more advanced medicine, so there was nothing better than doing a parent-child identification test to confirm whether or not there was a mother-child relationship between her and the child.
"Lock the door," Zhi Xia added after everyone had left.
Pei Jing locked the door and turned around, only to find Zhi Xia's figure gone from the hospital bed.
In the space, Zhi Xia ate snow crystal fruit to recover while operating the trading device.
"My son has been stolen by someone. Is there any way to help find him? I can pay star coins."
[Host can choose to establish a bloodline connection to locate your child's position at any time, and choose to recall them to the storage space that comes with the trading device. Children who establish a bloodline connection can also share the right to enter the trading device with the host, but will not obtain the right to use it.]
Zhi Xia checked that it cost 10,000 star coins per child, but she established bloodline connections with 5 children without hesitation. The star coins she had saved up recently were used up again.
The panel suddenly switched, showing five children connected by a golden red beam of light, surrounding Zhi Xia in the middle.
Since no information had been established yet, each child was only given a serial number.
Zhi Xia chose the child ranked 3rd, not having time to consider whether the trading device was scamming her. She hurriedly chose to spend 1000 star coins to recall him.
"Wah wah..." The child's cry suddenly appeared in the room. Hearing the loud sound, it was easy to guess it was a healthy child.
Only then did Zhi Xia show a relieved smile. She quickly turned around and trotted into the room.
Lying on the soft big bed was a child wrapped in shabby black cotton clothes, crying pitifully. A sudden heart-wrenching sensation filled her heart, and her nose felt sour too: the mother-child connection between them had taken effect.
Unlike the other two, her first glance made her feel they were not like her own children, and she was full of doubts inside.
Zhi Xia picked up the child. He was still crying non-stop, turning his little head left and right, babbling with his little mouth as if looking for something to eat.
She lifted her shirt, remembering that she hadn't lactated yet.
She quickly made some milk powder and the child drank it down with loud gulps. He sucked the milk bottle tightly, obviously starving. Soon his head was covered in a layer of thin sweat. After eating his fill, he fell asleep again.
Zhi Xia put the milk bottle on the bedside table. Only then could she not hold back her tears.
She tore off the child's shabby clothes and wrapped him in a brand new small quilt before putting him on the bed to sleep.
She returned to the trading device, "Can you tell me where the child was found? Besides Wang Caixiang, were there any other accomplices involved in the baby swap?"
[Host, I can provide the location where the child was found, but I cannot provide information about accomplices. The trading device can only detect the place where the child was transported back from, but cannot detect the nearby situation.]
Although it could not provide that information, it showed that there were indeed accomplices.
There was enough star coins left for one more operation, so Zhi Xia chose to use it again.
The trading device printed out a map of Jin Cheng, with a red dot marking the place where the child was before being brought back.
The location was not far from the hospital. Zhi Xia took the map out of the space.
She also found that as she moved, the red dot on the map would move along, completely eliminating the risks of her getting lost or not understanding the map.
Although it was expensive, these star coins were indeed worthwhile.
Pei Jing saw Zhi Xia disappear and knew she had gone into the space, but without her leading the way, he couldn't get in by himself and could only anxiously wait for her in the room.
After all, she had fed the child in the space and it took a full half an hour before she came out, still holding a piece of paper in her hand that looked like a map.
"The child has been found and is in the space now," Zhi Xia said before Pei Jing could speak: "Wang Caixiang should have other accomplices. Take this map with you now and follow the directions of the marked red dot to find them. You might be able to find the person who hid the child. If that person has already escaped, you will have to interrogate Wang Caixiang."
For now, the child could only stay in the space. There was a crowd of people at the door, so she couldn't make the child magically appear.
As for the two children found in the room, returning one of them was good enough, but it was still unknown whose child the other one was.
In any case, it couldn't have been Wang Caixiang's since she wasn't pregnant.
