In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

Before Li Feitu spoke, Chen Jingcheng was actually prepared to receive no answer once again.

However, to his surprise, Li Feitu said that he knew something about Chen Jingcheng's background.

At this moment, even though Chen Jingcheng wanted to put on a calm expression, he couldn't actually calm down.

He was indeed very happy, he was not abused, and he was even favored by Chen Dachuan and his wife. But the problem was that he was definitely not Chen Dachuan and his wife's biological son. No matter how content he was, he still wanted to know where he came from, who his biological parents were, and why he was abandoned.

He wanted to know these things, but he was also afraid to know them.

He only thought about it in his heart, but in fact he was prepared to never get the answer in his lifetime. But he never expected that the answer might be coming soon.

Chen Jingcheng suddenly felt uneasy and wanted to pick up his teacup and take a sip to calm himself down, but he found that his hands were trembling.

Just like his heart, it was trembling at this moment.

Seeing this, Li Feitu sighed softly. He understood Chen Jingcheng. Even a mature adult would have trouble controlling their emotions in this situation, let alone Chen Jingcheng who was only in his early twenties.

"Jingcheng, before I tell you what I know, there are a few things I want to say to you."

First of all, I don't know if telling you this now is the right thing to do or the wrong thing to do.

"Because I'm not even sure if you and that person I know are related. After all, without genetic testing, there's no way to prove your relationship."

"Looks, personality, and even experience—no matter how well they match, it's impossible to be 100% reliable."

"So, I was actually quite hesitant, but I still felt it was necessary to tell you what I knew so that you could be mentally prepared."

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng suddenly didn't know what to say or do, and he even wanted to leave immediately.

He didn't want to hear about his biological parents. Deep down, he said he was calm, but in reality, he still had grievances. He wanted to get up, but his body wouldn't move.

He simply sat quietly with his head down, yet the slight trembling of his body testified to his inner turmoil.

Li Feitu sighed softly. He knew that anyone would feel the same way, wondering if they were the one who had been abandoned, and Chen Jingcheng would be no exception.

He wanted to clarify things beforehand and resolve some issues.

In the end, when everything was ready, some misunderstandings arose.

Sitting next to Chen Jingcheng, Li Feitu said softly, "Actually, I don't know much either, but I think, based on what I know, they never abandoned you on purpose."

"Jing Cheng, I won't say his name or who he is yet. I'll just tell you what I know first."

"The person I know, twenty-three years ago, was in his prime, with a bright future, a powerful family background, and lofty ideals and ambitions. He was very capable and had great courage. No matter where he did things, he would eventually succeed, and after succeeding, he would earn the heartfelt respect of many people."

"But you know, whether you take our path or another, once you become an obstacle for some people, you might encounter irrational or even unscrupulous enemies who might do something you never know."

"Twenty-three years ago, in those days, medical technology was not very advanced. His wife came to his workplace to be with him. However, I don't know what happened in between, but I do know that his wife was taken to the hospital due to an accident. At that time, she was heavily pregnant, and the baby in her belly was already more than seven months along."

"At that time, he was still conducting research in another city and was unable to get to his side immediately. By the time he arrived, the child had already been pronounced dead by the hospital."

"They even saw the child's body."

"But gradually, they realized something was wrong and found corresponding evidence to prove that the child they saw back then was not their child. Their child was indeed premature, but was born alive. However, after birth, the child was taken away."

"As for who took the child, where the child was taken, and whether the child is still alive, they can no longer find the person who took the child. That person may already be dead, perhaps by accident, or perhaps silenced, but they just can't find them."

"The trail went cold after that."

"Let alone that era, even now, surveillance cameras aren't everywhere. Finding someone, especially a premature baby who's only seven months old, is like finding a needle in a haystack. I think you understand."

Li Feitu's mouth was full of sighs.

Chen Jingcheng listened to all of this and understood that if the child really was his, then it meant one thing: he was not abandoned, but deliberately taken away by someone to make them experience the pain of losing a child.

But what kind of deep-seated hatred must one have to go to such lengths?

Putting that aside, Chen Jingcheng had already figured out one thing: his biological parents were probably not that simple, of course, if those two people were his biological parents.

More than 20 years ago, the person whom Li Feitu called a promising individual, the person whose powerful family background Li Feitu used to justify calling him by his name, could not be a simple person.

At the very least, they should be comparable to the Li family.

Chen Jingcheng sighed softly, looked at Li Feitu, and asked, "And then?"

Did they continue searching for the child after they learned the child was still alive?

Li Feitu nodded very firmly and said, "We searched, we could even say we searched almost half the country. No, that's an understatement."

"However, unfortunately, they were unable to find it. After all, the circumstances back then were too complicated, and by the time they found out, it was already several years later. So, all the clues had been lost to time."

"Furthermore, the hospital left no clues about the child; it was truly like searching for a needle in a haystack."

"But they kept searching, for more than a decade. Even now, I know they haven't given up. Even though many clues and many people have said that the child is gone, they still hold onto a sliver of hope."

At this point, Li Feitu paused for a moment before saying softly, "But I also know that they have really given up all hope."

"Due to some special reasons, and of course, because I don't know much about it, this is all I can tell you right now."

"I just feel that you might be the child they're looking for."

"However, because it is a very important matter and because genetic testing is not possible, we cannot be completely certain."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingcheng nodded and fell silent. Suddenly, he didn't know what to say.

The age matches, the appearance matches, everything seems to match, but as Li Feitu said, without genetic testing, it means that it cannot be 100% certain.

After a moment of silence, Chen Jingcheng looked at Li Feitu and asked softly, "Who are they?"

"Perhaps they are my biological parents' people. Who are they, and where are they now?"
