Ye Huohuo’s brow furrowed tighter as she looked at the three case files from Green Mountain Orphanage laid out before her.
The Lihua on these three files were Du Lihua, Liu Lihua, and Chen Lihua.
Perhaps the name Lihua was most popular at that time? That’s why girls liked to be named Lihua?
Their birth parents were simple, but they made Ye Huohuo and the others at a loss.
The information in the files was already limited, dating back ten years, and had little reference value for the present. Ye Huohuo didn't expect to find the person just by checking the files, but she hoped to find some useful clues.
Since she collected Lihua’s soul last time, she had tried to communicate with it to find her scumbag husband. However, Lihua’s soul was damaged. At this moment, her heart was filled with hatred, and she couldn’t remember anything about her past.
She didn’t even remember her surname. Ye Huohuo was helpless, so she resorted to this stupidest method.
But she didn’t expect three Lihuas to appear at once. Each one required half a day of investigation, and it was uncertain if they would find the person. How long would it take to find these three?
Just as Ye Huohuo and Li Mochen were at a loss, Cai Xiaoxi walked over.
“Who exactly are you looking for? Maybe I can help.”
“Yes, you usually help the police find people through files. Huohuo, why don’t we ask Miss Cai to help us find them? She’s more experienced.”
Ye Huohuo looked at Cai Xiaoxi and subconsciously performed a calculation. Indeed, she was a benefactor in this matter. “That would be great. We’ll trouble Miss Cai. After this is done, Mochen will definitely treat you to a meal!”
“Ah, that’s for sure. Where do you want to eat? You name it! Not just one meal, ten meals are fine!” Li Mochen quickly chimed in.
Cai Xiaoxi’s face turned slightly red when she heard Li Mochen wanted to treat her to a meal, but seeing Ye Huohuo, she immediately stopped smiling and her expression turned serious again.
Ye Huohuo had long seen her feelings for Li Mochen and chuckled inwardly. It seemed she had to use this junior to employ a honey trap.
“Miss Cai, please don’t misunderstand me and Mochen.” As she spoke, she leaned closer to Cai Xiaoxi. “I’m actually his sister-in-law!”
Cai Xiaoxi’s eyes widened, her mouth capable of fitting an egg. “You, you are…”
Ye Huohuo winked at her. “Shh, keep it down. It’s a secret!”
Cai Xiaoxi’s eyes, which were full of hostility when she first saw Ye Huohuo, curved downwards and immediately filled with a smile. “So you’re the new wife of the Li family patriarch that’s on the trending searches?”
She tried to lower her voice. When she first saw Ye Huohuo, she found her extremely displeasing, but in just a short while, she found Ye Huohuo pleasing in every way.
At the same time, Cai Xiaoxi entered Lihua’s information into the computer and started searching.
As expected of a professional, although the information in the files was limited, coupled with the information Ye Huohuo later provided about winning awards and even trophies.
Cai Xiaoxi, after cross-referencing and filtering in the large database, actually found a result within half an hour.
She identified the most likely match from the three Lihuas and even found her current information.
Du Lihua, twenty-eight years old this year, left Green Mountain Orphanage the month before it closed ten years ago, just after turning eighteen. She had just graduated from high school and had excellent academic performance, getting into a good university.
According to her situation, the country provided her with a student loan. She was also very diligent, working part-time during university to fund her studies, and successfully graduated.
After graduation, she worked in a medium-sized company and became a white-collar worker.
She married a man named Chen Dong three years ago. Two years later, Du Lihua resigned due to health reasons. After that, there was almost no information. There was only a record of her hospitalization a year ago, which stated that the reason for her hospitalization was being hit by a car and suffering a miscarriage.
There were no further records after that.
This information corroborated with what Ye Huohuo knew earlier, suggesting that this Du Lihua should be the Lihua they were looking for.
“Miss Cai, could you please help me check her husband’s information again?” Ye Huohuo remembered the scene of entering Lihua’s illusion and wanted to compare it with her husband’s information.
Cai Xiaoxi readily agreed this time, her fingertips flying across the keyboard. Soon, the information for Du Lihua’s husband, Chen Dong, was also retrieved.
Chen Dong, thirty years old today, two years older than Du Lihua. He worked at the same company as Du Lihua. Ye Huohuo was surprised to find that before they got married, Chen Dong’s position and salary were actually lower than Du Lihua’s.
But after they got married, it was Du Lihua who resigned.
This is the tragedy of women. Women can give up their careers for their families, and many men say, “I’ll support you.” But when women truly believe them, quit their jobs, and focus on being full-time housewives,
Men then use the difficulty of supporting the family as a reason to logically place their status above women. They expect to be served hand and foot at home, and even more seriously, they verbally humiliate their wives or even resort to physical abuse.
They clearly see themselves as emperors in the family, and their wives are just tools that can be summoned and dismissed at will. They have long forgotten the promise of supporting her from the beginning.
Fortunately, more and more women are becoming clear-headed now, knowing that only by having their own financial capacity and being able to support themselves can their status in the family be permanently secured.
Ye Huohuo’s thoughts drifted. By the time she came back to her senses, Li Mochen had already memorized the information about Du Lihua and Chen Dong’s family.
“By the way, who else is in Chen Dong’s family?” she asked.
“Chen Dong’s father passed away when he was young, and his mother raised him alone. After they got married, they lived with his mother,” Li Mochen explained.
As expected, everything matched!
Ye Huohuo knew she had found the right person.
Just as she was about to ask Cai Xiaoxi to help them copy Chen Dong’s address,
Li Mochen pulled her out of the data room.
“I haven’t memorized the address of Du Lihua’s home yet!” Ye Huohuo was a little anxious. She didn’t want to give up the hard-won information.
“No, it’s the rule of the bureau, no paper is allowed out of the data room.” Li Mochen said, pointing to the camera above their heads. “Let’s not make it too difficult for Miss Cai either.”
“Oh? So you care about her? But I didn’t memorize the address.” Ye Huohuo teased.
Li Mochen walked and laughed, “We’re all friends, sister-in-law, don’t jump to conclusions. I only want to pass the lawyer’s exam as soon as possible and become a real lawyer. I’m not good at anything else, but my memory is good. Let alone an address and personal information, even a book, if I read it twice, I can recite it to you word for word.”
Ye Huohuo had heard of people with exceptional memory, who could memorize everything at a glance, but she had never seen one. Did this Li Mochen possess such an ability?
Sensing the doubt in Ye Huohuo’s eyes, Li Mochen seemed somewhat proud. “If I didn’t have this memory, how could I study law while also having the leisure to be a legal consultant for their police team.
Do you know how thick those legal codes are? Do you know how many cases there are? To become a good lawyer, all of these must be remembered. Many people can’t memorize them even after studying them all day!”
“No wonder you chose to study law. It’s a waste not to use this memory for things like this,” Ye Huohuo said sincerely.
As the two walked out of the police station, a middle-aged man greeted them at the entrance. Ye Huohuo didn’t recognize him, but Li Mochen was clearly familiar with him.
“Old Fang, why are you here?” Li Mochen asked familiarly.
The middle-aged man named Old Fang respectfully called them Fourth Young Master and Eldest Young Madam. “Eldest Young Master sent me to pick you up, and he also said that from now on, I will be responsible for your transportation, Eldest Young Madam.”
“No way, you’re specially responsible for driving Grandpa. Big Brother actually let you drive for Eldest Sister-in-law?! Tsk tsk… none of us brothers have this treatment!” Li Mochen’s tone was a little sour.
“The Old Master also agreed and specifically instructed me to take good care of the Eldest Young Madam!” Old Fang looked like an honest and dependable person, the best kind of executor. As long as it was an order from above, he would carry it out perfectly and unconditionally.
Ye Huohuo’s heart warmed, and Li Mochen’s eyes reappeared before her. Beneath his cold exterior, he hid a passionate heart. Such a good person, she was ultimately unworthy of him.
She took a deep breath, suppressing the emotion in her heart, and warned herself repeatedly, he doesn’t have her in his heart, and she is merely a wife of one year under an agreement.
She was destined to be a passerby in his life. She couldn’t even guarantee if she would be alive tomorrow, so what could she give him?
Ye Huohuo, your main task now is to survive and uncover the truth of that year!
Suddenly, her right little finger twitched involuntarily. Could it be?…
