Chapter 2393: Looking for the Child’s Parents
“I want to go and take a look.” After saying that, Qiao Mei got up and walked towards the car.
Xia Zhe and Xia Wen looked at each other and followed her. Qiao Mei was in a very bad state of mind now, but neither of them dared to say anything. The most important thing now was to let her do whatever she wanted. Otherwise, she would get sick from holding her emotions in.
They drove a long way and arrived near a family compound in a rural area at the fringe of the city. This was the family compound belonging to the supply and marketing cooperative. The moment they entered the courtyard, they met a guard who said, “If you are here to buy stuff, you should go over there.”
“We’re here to look for someone. Is there a resident named Zhang Jiao here?” Xia Wen asked as he took out a photo.
The guard was stunned for a moment. These people were very well-dressed and did not look like they were from the surrounding areas. Moreover, they even had their own car. These were definitely not ordinary people, so what were they doing here? Zhang Jiao’s family had acquaintances who were well-to-do?
“It’s the house on the far left on the third floor, but it will be better if you come and visit her again after some time. She just lost her child and even the neighbors don’t dare to get close,” the guard said.
“Do you know her well? Do you know anything about what happened?” Xia Wen said as he flashed the work pass he brought.
“Oh my! You’re a government official!” The guard was so scared that he quickly sprung up from his stool. He had never met such a high-ranking official before!
“Don’t be nervous. We’re just here to check out the situation. Don’t be afraid,” Xia Wen said as he put away the work pass. This was actually not his work pass, but Zou Ming’s. After all, it was easier to carry out an investigation with a police officer’s identity. Everyone recognized the police logo.
“I’m not too sure. I just know that their family is having a difficult time and not doing very well. Zhang Jiao is so unfortunate to have her child die right after birth. Everyone feels bad about it,” the guard said.
It seemed that the people here did not have any useful information. Qiao Mei turned to go upstairs to look for Zhang Jiao. The moment she reached the third floor, she could hear shouts coming from inside the house.
“You money-losing good-for-nothing! Cry, cry, cry! You only know how to cry! Other than knowing how to cry, what else can you do! How can there be someone like you in our family! It wasn’t easy for you to give birth to a son and then he died! What are you good for! Why are you still alive! Why aren’t you the one who died! Go to hell! Go to hell!” a woman cried out.
“I already gave birth! It’s because you didn’t feed me well that the child died! If there’s anyone to blame, it’s all of you!” another woman roared back. It was obvious that this person was Zhang Jiao.
Immediately, it sounded as if a fight broke out inside the house. Qiao Mei was about to go forward when Xia Zhe stopped her. Since these people were fighting, what if they hurt Qiao Mei accidentally? It was better for him to walk in front.
The moment they reached the door, a man came out. He looked dejected and they could tell that this was a useless coward. Xia Zhe grabbed his shoulder and said, “You must be Wu Xian.”
“Yes… but who are you?” Wu Xian looked at Xia Zhe and the rest in confusion.
“Did your son just pass away?” Xia Zhe continued to ask without answering Wu Xian’s question.
When Wu Xian heard this, he immediately lowered his head and gripped the corners of his shirt tightly without replying. Xia Zhe narrowed his eyes and continued to ask, “I don’t have much patience. I’m asking one more time, did your son just pass away?”
“Yes…” Wu Xian said in a sheepish manner. He had not done anything wrong. He was just afraid. He was like this with everyone. Even if he did not do anything wrong, he still felt afraid.
Qiao Mei rushed into the house and shouted, “Stop fighting! Your son is still alive!”
“What? You say my son is still alive? Where is my son?” Zhang Jiao immediately stopped fighting and came over to ask Qiao Mei anxiously.
After all, Zhang Jiao was the one who had given birth to the child after being pregnant for 10 months. Even if the family was not doing well and they could not support the child, she still wanted to have the child back and take care of him herself.
Xia Wen carefully observed the reactions of everyone in the house. It seemed that all of them really did not know that the child had been swapped.

“Everyone, go inside. I have questions for you,” Xia Zhe said as he grabbed Wu Xian and dragged him into the house.
Old Madam Wu sat on the floor and muttered, “How can he still be alive? That doctor said that the child is dead!”
“Did you see the child’s body at that time?” Xia Wen asked.
“No. That child is already dead. What’s there to look at… It’s so unlucky to do so! I asked the doctor to deal with it,” Old Madam Wu replied softly.
This was also the reason why Zhang Jiao hated Old Madam Wu. Zhang Jiao did not even get a chance to see the child before they were separated by life and death. Even if she wanted to see the child now, it was not possible anymore.
While Xia Wen was questioning the family, Qiao Mei was also chatting with the potted plants by the window. She did not manage to get any useful information. They had hit a dead end again.
Qiao Mei stood in front of the window and sighed. Then she said, “Let’s go.”
