What troubles Lao Li the most is that he doesn't know how to do a paternity test.

Going directly to the hospital to retrieve data could easily alert the perpetrator.

He had no other choice, so he moved a stool and sat downstairs for five consecutive days waiting for Pei Jin.

Every time Pei Jin passed by, he would pretend to be unwell.

He was thinking that when Pei Jin came to check on him, he would take the opportunity to pluck a hair from his head.

But he was coughing up his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs. Every time Pei Jin passed by and heard him coughing, he would just glance at him sideways and then walk away.

That's so heartless...

With the Lunar New Year fast approaching and him still not having managed to pull out his hair, he finally started to get anxious.

So the next morning, Old Li stood by the window early, staring at the garbage bag in Pei Jin's hand.

Pei Jin had just thrown it in when he ran downstairs. When he got down, he saw that a garbage truck had already taken all the garbage out of the bin.

"..."

You shouldn't be lazy.

But returning to China suddenly, he was older and found it difficult to adjust.

the next day,

Old Li moved a stool downstairs and sat down. Just then, when Pei Jin was throwing out the trash, the garbage truck arrived downstairs, and he casually threw the trash into the truck.

"..."

However, at noon that day, Lao Li saw the young girl who lived with Pei Jin go downstairs and throw away a takeout bag.

He ran downstairs quickly, and when he saw the familiar takeout bag, he was so excited that he almost beat his chest and stamped his feet.

Great! Heaven rewards those who persevere; he's finally about to obtain Pei Jin's DNA.

He stood in front of the trash can, struggling to reach the trash inside.

A high school student who had just picked up a package was passing by when he saw Old Li taking out the trash. He offered to open the package and hand him the empty cardboard box.

Old Li took the cardboard box, and for a moment he really didn't know what to say.

The high school student waved his hand dismissively.

"You're welcome."

"..."

With a complicated expression, Old Li saw the little boy off, then quickly turned around to reach for the takeout bag.

The young girl was quite frugal, using a takeout bag to pack her trash and sealing it tightly.

He fished it out and took it home. He happily opened it and found that inside was indeed an empty Coke can and a family-sized takeout box of raw marinated food.

There wasn't a single hair on his head.

"..."

On the morning of the third day, Old Li sat down next to the trash can early again.

When Pei Jin passed by him, he frowned, glanced at him, and threw the trash in.

He seemed to have seen this old man many times before; he was not only sick, but also looked a bit like a madman.

Pei Jin walked to the back of the building and turned the corner. Old Li, after confirming that he had left, stood up and reached for the trash can.

Pei Jin took a picture with his phone at the corner and sent it to Bai Tao before leaving without giving it much thought.

"Honey, there seems to be a crazy person in our neighborhood. If you see him, please stay away from him."

Bai Tao didn't reply; she left home a little later than Pei Jin.

Pei Jin was still worried, so he called Bai Tao. Only after hearing her agree did he feel at ease enough to go to work.

"I know, I drive to work, I don't go that way."

Old Li carried the bag of trash home like it was a precious treasure, while several young people passing by looked at him with suspicion.

The old man picked up a bag of trash from the trash can and took it home like a treasure.

As soon as he got home, Old Li rubbed his hands together. Great! Heaven rewards those who persevere; his mission was finally about to be completed.

There were a few used ones in the bag... He awkwardly took them out, put them aside, and continued rummaging through the bag.

Use this only if you can't find any hair.

He was afraid that Pei Jin wouldn't be able to accept it when he found out how his DNA came about.

Finally, at the very bottom, he found a few strands of hair tangled together.

He patiently untangled them one by one, and among the pile of long hair, he identified a few short hairs that might belong to Pei Jin.

However, adhering to the principle of "better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free," Old Li collected all the short hair and also put the few small umbrellas into a sealed bag.

To avoid alerting the suspect, he specifically went to a hospital in another city for an examination.

As a result, it didn't come out until the day before the Lunar New Year.

When he received the report, Lao Li's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his throat.

He stood in the hospital corridor, took several deep breaths, and finally mustered the courage to open the report.

He lowered his head, his gaze falling on the final line of conclusion.

Based on the results of this DNA test, and excluding special circumstances such as identical twins, close relatives, and external interference, it supports the existence of a biological relationship between Pei Jin and Shen Wanyin.

He stood in the hospital corridor, clutching the piece of paper, trembling all over, tears welling in his eyes.

He looked down at the line of text again, then slowly folded the report and put it into his pocket.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Shen Wanyin.

"Madam, it's the young master."

After sending the message, he stood in the hallway and put his phone away.

The sound of firecrackers was ringing out in the distance outside the window. He stood there, as if he had finally heard that echo that had been long overdue.
