Chapter 994 - If You Don’t Help Me, There Might Not Be a Chance in the Future! (1/2)
“There is a child by the name of Jiang Ming who’s Jiang Ming’s child?” Chen Ge did not expect to be given such surprising news with his casual question.
“Yes, I didn’t think much of it at the time. I just thought it was weird until the boy suddenly called Jiang Ming ‘dad’.” The woman with the long hair elicited a bitter smile. “I had not heard Jiang Ming mention having a family before. That day, we had a horrible dinner. Before we parted, I asked him what his relationship with that child was. For some reason, he got mad at me and told me to stop asking random questions.
“Was I being too unreasonable? If the boy wasn’t his, if he’d adopted him, I could fully understand that, but he refused to say anything. How was I supposed to take in all that?”
“It shouldn’t be his biological son. Why would his own child share his name?” Chen Ge was not there to listen to someone else’s love story. Before waiting for the woman to continue, he asked, “What does the child look like? Is there anything physically different about him?”
“The child is quite pitiable. He is deaf in both ears, and I believe he is forbidden to leave the house. His vocabulary is very limited.” The woman sounded worried. “Jiang Ming comes from a wealthy family, but I don’t think they plan to send the boy to receive any treatment. During dinner, whenever I raised the topic of the boy, Jiang Ming would get angry at me.”
“When you visited his home, did you hear Jiang Ming tell the boy anything? Things like altars, mud statuettes, curses, or anything like that?”
“During dinner, Jiang Ming locked the boy in his bedroom. He appeared to have something against the boy communicating with the outside world.”
“Okay, I understand.” Chen Ge nodded. “One last question, what is Jiang Ming’s address? I wish to visit him in person.”
“How about I give you his phone number?”
“These things are better said in person. Things get muddled in the phone.”
At Chen Ge’s insistence, the woman finally gave him Jiang Ming’s address.
…
When Chen Ge left the hospital, it was already afternoon. He arranged all the information that he had gotten in the sickroom. The many scenarios that he had experienced hid a lot of different information. What had appeared useless now became clues for him to look for the ghost fetus. If the truth was a giant puzzle, what Chen Ge was doing now was piecing the puzzle together.
He took a cab back to New Century Park. After ensuring that there were no issues at the haunted house, he took the taxi to Eastern Jiujiang again. The countdown had already started, so there was no time to lose. When Chen Ge arrived at Eastern Jiujiang’s White Dragon Tunnel, it was already dark.
