At the police station, when Cao Dujuan saw Song Ge and his wife coming over, she was completely dumbfounded because she hadn’t expected them to arrive so quickly.

Liang Xin was sent to stay temporarily at his grandparents’ house in the countryside, and the couple secretly went on a trip.

They hadn’t revealed to anyone here that they knew it was a swap, not a mistake, but they still treated it as a mistake for investigation purposes.

Cao Dujuan appeared calm on the surface, but inside, she felt so nervous she couldn’t fathom, yet she was thankful that the child was lost, and the safe was gone too. She hoped the person who stole the safe wouldn’t realize the importance of the documents inside and would discard them, making it impossible to investigate further.

The crucial point now is that the matter didn’t undergo twenty-eight years of re-investigation but only a brief five years. Wei Dong was clearly already five years old; why make him three? She gave birth to the eldest with an intellectual disability, allowing for a second child, so why change Wei Dong’s name to appear younger?

Apart from this doubt, more and more suspicions gradually surfaced due to the dual investigation by the police and the hospital.

Even a crucial witness, Liang Qianqian, was invited to the police station. This person disappeared after a name change in the previous life, not appearing publicly. Anyway, she wasn’t mentioned in Tangyuan’s memoirs, and the incident wasn’t fairly resolved.

In the past life, Liang Junjie grew old, retired, and was just an ordinary civil servant. In this life, it’s different — a company-level officer in the army, young and talented. If he hadn’t defended his country, how could the child have been swapped? Hence, his work unit also paid significant attention, exerting pressure on the police station in K City, forcing them not to indulge in corruption or mishandling.

The hospital didn’t, as in the previous life, settle for compensation without investigation. They didn’t even investigate or announce results, directly giving Cao Dujuan 600,000, which ultimately didn’t reach Song Ge’s hands. The Wei Family came out the biggest winners.

Her ailing son dragged others to ruin, while their biological son worked like a horse, without even a house — truly remarkable calculation by this family!

The Wei Family also had some means and connections locally; otherwise, how could they have swapped the child under the strict controls of the hospital?

Birth wristbands, swaddling clothes, maternity bed numbers — Song Ge had a natural childbirth, whereas Du Juan had a big three-round cesarean. The children weren’t in the same operating room, so how was the switch made?

Wei Dong was born the day before Liang Xin, with Liang Xin the following day. With babies born on different days, without help from insiders in the hospital, how could it happen? 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Previously, the hospital chose to compensate without investigation, possibly due to too many involved parties or complex backgrounds. They chose to protect their reputation rather than publicize, showing how extensive the Wei Family’s influence was in K City, or rather behind it, hence the simplest way was to settle with money.

This life, five years post-birth, after multiple moves and name changes, even Song Ge’s bed nurse changed names after the incident. Song Ge and his wife already knew by now that everything said in the bundle was true.

The child was lost by the Wei Family, clearly five years old, claimed to be two, not attending kindergarten, spending all day with their foolish daughter — the angrier Song Ge got, he not only sued the hospital but also filed charges against the Wei couple.

Just as Cao Dujuan felt relieved that the lawsuit was pointless without evidence, Song Ge and his wife produced evidence — exactly the items from her lost safe.

Cao Dujuan was stunned, "No, that’s impossible; those are items from my family’s safe. How could you have them? Tell me, did you rob my house? Did you take your son away?"

She inadvertently confessed in court while Song Ge and his wife coldly watched her, briefly explaining the origin of these items. Even though Cao Dujuan confirmed they were copies, she found herself helpless, and despite the evidence, she resolutely denied it.

Initially, she maintained a stubborn stance like a duck, but later, realizing she might go to jail, she was frightened and proposed a private settlement, offering compensation, but the Liang Family rejected it.

"We don’t want money; you must pay for your folly, and also, we will send your son over. As for our son, if you can’t bring him back, spend your life in prison!"
