Chapter 681 Karma
The color drained from his face, but he could not tear his eyes away from Shen Zhijin.
His handso face had the sa facial features as Ning Li’s.
Now that the two of them were standing together, it was clear to anyone who looked at them that they were definitely biological father and daughter.
Ning Haizhou’s hands trembled slightly as he averted his gaze.
“What, what did you say…”
His voice was very and trailed off.
Everyone present was smart. Seeing his reaction, there was nothing that they could not guess.
Shen Zhijin’s hands slowly tightened.
“It was you who changed the child, wasn’t it?”
In the quiet ward, his question seed to have substance as it landed heavily on Ning Haizhou’s shoulder!
“No! I don’t know anything!”
Ning Haizhou imdiately retorted, “What change of child? I don’t know anything about
it!”
Shen Zhijin’s jaw tightened, and his tone was firm.
“The daughter that you and Su Yuan had was born with a very serious congenital heart disease.”
Ning Haizhou suddenly stopped talking.
Shen Zhijin enunciated each word carefully.
“At that ti, the doctor said that the child’s condition was not optimistic and that she needed a huge amount of dical expenses. Moreover, even with surgery, the chances of survival were not high. You should have heard these words a long ti ago, right?”
Ning Haizhou was silent, but the speed of his heartbeat was accelerating uncontrollably.
This made him feel uncomfortable again, and he raised his hand to cover his chest.
“If you still refuse to admit it, then you should be very familiar with this person–“
As Shen Zhijin said this, he raised his hand and pointed to one side.
Ning Haizhou subconsciously looked over. It was a woman who looked to be in her fifties.
At that mont, her face was pale and her expression was fearful. She was cowering, unable to utter a single word.
“This was one of the nurses who were in charge of delivering babies back then.” The veins on the back of Shen Zhijin’s hand popped up. “At the sa ti, she is also your cousin-aunt.”
With such a relationship, it had been extrely convenient for him to replace his daughter, who had been born with a serious illness, with a healthy baby girl.
“Ning Haizhou, even at this point, are you still not admitting it?!”
The ward was dead silent.
Ning Haizhou trembled slightly as if he wanted to say sothing, but his throat had tightened and he could not say a word.
However, this silence was his answer.
Ning Li stood there, her fingers cold.
Ning Haizhou had been imprisoned when she was 6 years old, so the mories of them together were pitifully few.
For many years after that, she had only seen him through a layer of glass.
mocked her for not having a father or mother, she would rebut them over and over again.
She did have them.
It was just that they were not by her side.
Later on, as she grew older, she knew that the words had paled. Sotis she endured them, sotis she attacked.
She thought that, well she did still have one.
So, she went to see him, and she had even called him.
He would tell her that her grandma’s health was not good, so she would have to take care of her.
She had listened to everything.
Today, however, she finally realized that everything had just been a lie. Her thoughts and ideas had just been a joke to deceive herself and others.
Ning Li’s lips moved slightly as she spoke softly.
“It’s no wonder that when I showed you the acceptance letter from Xijing University the other day, you apologized to .”
“No wonder you left without hesitation on the day Su Yuan left you.”
“No wonder you wrote that letter despite knowing how she had treated all these years.”
So that was it.
That was it.
Ning Haizhou kept his head down and did not say a word.
Ning Li took a deep breath.
“I only have one last question: Did Grandma know about this?”
Ning Haizhou was silent for a long ti before he finally said, “She… didn’t know.”
She didn’t know.
When Ning Li heard this, she was silent for a while before she nodded.
The corner of her lips twitched slightly.
“Okay.”
At that mont, an incredulous voice was heard.
“Ning Haizhou, so what they all said was the truth?!”
It was Su Yuan.
She had also been brought in, but Ning Haizhou had not seen her because she had been standing at the back.
She had not believed it at first, thinking that these people were just delusional. However, Ning Haizhou had admitted it!
Ning Haizhou was shocked when he heard her voice.
Since Su Yuan had been brought here, the two of them had been strictly guarded, so Ning Haizhou had not even known that she had co to Lincheng from Yunzhou.
Seeing her suddenly, he was imdiately shocked.
Su Yuan’s gaze swept over Ning Li before looking over at Ning Haizhou. “If she’s not my daughter, then who is? Where’s the child?!”
Ning Haizhou’s entire body stiffened.
“Your daughter…”
Shen Zhijin held his breath and endured the pain that spread from his heart to his entire body. Each word seed to have exhausted his strength.
“You should rember that 18 years ago, there was a fire in a building next to the Fence Alley.”
Su Yuan was stunned for a long ti before she suddenly realized sothing!
That fire…? That fire had burned so badly. How could she not rember?
At that ti, everyone had said that three people had died in the fire, which included a mother and daughter…
Su Yuan felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her legs went limp as she slowly slid to her knees on the ground.
After a long ti, she finally started to cry in a daze.
It turned out that her daughter had been long gone, long ago…
Old Master Gu looked at Ning Haizhou and asked in a deep voice, “The child was replaced by you. That fire… Were you involved in it?!”
Ning Haizhou was startled when he heard that.
“Of course not! I–“
He was about to say sothing when he suddenly beca short of breath.
Cheng Xiyue furrowed his brows.
“His condition doesn’t seem too good. I’ll go and call the doctor.”
Ning Haizhou was already unable to speak, and he quickly beca unconscious.
The doctors and nurses quickly rushed over, and the ward was in a state of chaos.
This interrogation could only be suspended temporarily.
The corridor was very quiet.
Ning Li sat on the chair and leaned against the back of the chair. Her head was tilted upwards slightly and her eyes not focusing on anything
The light above her head was a little dazzling.
Ning Haizhou had wanted a healthy daughter, so he had tried to find soone else. In the end, he had caused his own daughter’s life to be lost.
This was probably karma.
However…
At first, everyone thought that the fire was an accident.
However, the Gu family discovered sothing two years ago and had begun to suspect that it was intentional arson.
Gu Tinglan had returned to Lincheng to look for relevant clues.
It was just that, after so many years, it was extrely difficult to find out what had happened that year.
Ning Li pressed the space between her eyebrows.
If Ning Haizhou did not have any clues for them, it would be even more difficult.
Suddenly, she rembered sothing.
Gu Tinglan had sent a car over to be repaired before, and it was obvious that the Gu family valued that car.
She had seen bullet marks on that car.
