Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 350 - 312 New Clues (Second Update)

Noah and Kerry were stunned on the spot—why did Mom suddenly appear?

Yi Luowa quickly walked out and looked at them unhappily, "I know you have been siblings with her for over ten years and still feel reluctant, but starting today, you only have me as your sister. Do not bring her up again in the future!"

Noah and Kerry saw Yi Luowa keep signaling to them with her eyes, and the two quickly lowered their heads, "Sis, we will never mention her again."

"You two forgetful brats! Did you forget how she treated you both?" Ni Lu glared fiercely at her two sons, pulling Yi Luowa’s hand as they walked into the chamber. Fearing Yi Luowa would get angry, she began to explain nonstop, "Your two younger brothers are still young. Don’t take it to heart with them."

"Mom, I’m not angry at them." Yi Luowa smiled and hugged Ni Lu’s shoulder.

"Mom knows you’re different from that ungrateful nuisance!" Ni Lu smiled contentedly.

Noah and Kerry followed them into the room. The four of them chatted in the chamber, and when Jack and Tong Airui arrived, they could hear the laughter coming from afar.

Jack sighed softly, "Rui’er, today’s affair is all thanks to you and Luowa. Otherwise, your aunt might have been ruined."

"Uncle, it was the right thing for us to do," Tong Airui frowned a little. "I thought once we found out Shiqing wasn’t your daughter, it would be a happy ending. But I never imagined it would turn out like this—your and Auntie’s real daughter is missing, and Luowa still hasn’t found her biological parents."

"Who said our daughter is missing? Luowa is right here! Rui’er, when I heard Luowa call ’Mom,’ I knew she was our daughter. Luowa is a good child, but she’s had a tough life. In the future, your aunt and I will do everything we can to make up for all the lost parental love over these years."

Tong Airui smiled, "Thank you, Uncle. However, I will continue to help find your daughter and Luowa’s biological parents."

"Yi Weiyang has been searching for so many years, and you’ve worked hard during this period as well... sigh, after all these years, the difficulty is immense."

"We can start with Shiqing and Yi Lingfei. They might provide some valuable clues. I’ve already secretly ordered Yi Lingfei’s arrest; she’ll be brought in soon."

Jack nodded, "That’s also a good idea. I was still thinking of waiting until after You Jia’s wedding to act, but you move quicker than me."

"Delays could cause problems. You see Luowa acting indifferent, but she’s more desperate than anyone to learn who her parents are."

"Luowa is fortunate to have found someone who understands her."

Tong Airui smiled—he felt like the luckiest one was actually himself!

That evening, Yi Luowa stayed with Ni Lu until she fell asleep, then returned with Tong Airui to their chamber.

Tong Yao, Yan Zi, Ning Mingxi, and the others were still accompanying Teng Ai Ni in conversation. What had started as a joyous occasion turned sentimental, and Ai Ni began crying first, followed by everyone else shedding tears.

Duoduo saw Yi Luowa and immediately struggled to reach her arms. Yi Luowa smiled and took him from Little Raindrop’s arms, sitting down next to Tong Yao.

"Mom, stop crying. If you cry, Ai Ni won’t be able to handle it."

"Sigh... fine, no more tears. Let’s all stop crying." Tong Yao wiped her tears and looked at Yi Luowa, "Your aunt is asleep?"

Yi Luowa nodded, "She’s asleep. I gave her some medicine before bedtime—she’s been overly agitated, and that’s dangerous."

Yi Luowa spoke while gently touching Duoduo’s little face, "Sis, does Duoduo still have a fever?"

"Yes..." Little Raindrop frowned briefly, "Jacques just got better, and now Duoduo’s sick. I’ve been busy taking care of them since I came here. I haven’t been able to help Ai Ni at all."

"We have so many people here; you don’t need to do everything. Just focus on looking after the kids." Yan Zi felt sorry as she glanced at her daughter, who had gotten dark circles from being busy with the children lately.

"What about my dad? Is everything okay with him?" Little Raindrop asked softly.

Tong Yao sighed, "Your elder brother and Nuo’er are keeping an eye on him. Luckily, he’s not acting out as much as he did at your wedding."

Little Raindrop smirked, "Since I’ve set a precedent, Dad’s more or less grown used to it."

Tong Yao said irritably, "If it hadn’t been for Shiqing’s drama, he’d still be stirring things up!"

"Always badmouthing me behind my back!" Long Che walked in with Lance and Tong Aino, glancing toward the door before saying, "Yuan Hang, come in. We’re all family here—don’t lurk outside suspiciously!"

As Long Che finished speaking, Yuan Hang awkwardly walked in, "Lord Che, it’s because we’re family that I didn’t dare ruin the mood by intruding."

Tong Airui looked at him, "If you have something to say, just say it!"

Yuan Hang handed him a folder, "The DNA results for Yi Lingfei and Shiqing are out. Shiqing really is Xi Meichen’s daughter."

"And what else?" Tong Airui tossed the folder onto the table as if the contents were unworthy of his touch.

"Yi Lingfei has been detained and is currently being held in Huang Sang Prison. But don’t worry; she and Shiqing won’t see each other. Also, ever since Shiqing went in, she was badly beaten by people she used to bully; she’s unrecognizable now. Before falling unconscious, she confessed to some things."

Tong Airui’s eyebrows lifted slightly, "What did she say?"

"She claimed the first time she met Yi Lingfei was in Country Z—those few hours when she went missing. Before that, she didn’t know she was Xi Meichen’s daughter; it was Yi Lingfei who told her. Yi Lingfei threatened to expose her lineage unless she paid her off. Shiqing, terrified of losing her ’princess’ identity, kept paying her. She added that Yi Lingfei was like an insatiable black hole."

Tong Airui scoffed. So Shiqing calls Yi Lingfei a black hole—what about herself? She’s no better!

"And here’s the infuriating part: she and Prince Bert never did anything. She tore her own clothes, pricked her finger to bleed, and staged the whole scene."

Tong Yao breathed a long sigh of relief, "Finally, Bert’s name is cleared. That poor kid was so upset all day."

"Why on earth did she do this?" Teng Ai Ni angrily asked. "This whole mess of hers almost ruined my wedding."

"Shiqing said she noticed Ni Lu the Duchess had grown to dislike her, so she sought another way out. But before we could ask her in detail, she passed out."

Tong Airui was silent for a moment before looking up, "Did you ask her how Xi Meichen swapped the two babies?"

"Yes, we did. Shiqing said that back then, Xi Meichen and Bai Bowen had already planned to kill the Yi family. Bai’s idea was to use their daughter as a shield. Xi Meichen couldn’t bear it, so they decided to steal another child to replace their own daughter. And Ni Lu the Duchess was truly unlucky; she went into labor on the road and was sent to a small hospital with poor safety measures and no surveillance system. Bai Bowen had been targeting the place for a while and, seeing Ni Lu unattended during childbirth, secretly swapped the two babies."

Tong Airui glanced at Yi Luowa, who pressed her lips together, "Someone acted faster than Bai Bowen. Before he even got involved, my and Aunt Ni Lu’s children were already swapped."

"Is there a possibility of a mix-up with the babies?" Tong Yao frowned, saying, "I’ve handled cases before where two mothers simultaneously gave birth, and their babies were accidentally switched in the chaos."

Long Che nodded, "It’s not impossible. Once Ni Lu feels better, we can ask if there were other mothers giving birth with her at that time. That could narrow the scope." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Tong Airui looked toward his mother, "Mom, do you remember the name of the hospital where Aunt Ni Lu gave birth?"

Tong Yao thought for a while, "...I believe it was the Peninsula Church Hospital."

Tong Airui signaled Yuan Hang with his eyes, "Go investigate!"

Yuan Hang replied and quickly strode out.

"That hospital is very small; the investigation might be tough." Tong Yao shook her head helplessly.

"Having a lead is better than having none," Tong Airui said firmly, squeezing Yi Luowa’s shoulder, "We took the wrong route before—we’ll restart the investigation."

Yi Luowa looked at him gratefully, "Don’t always get distracted by my matters. Tomorrow is Ai Ni’s wedding; let’s talk about something joyful."

Tong Airui smiled and nodded.

Yi Luowa winked at Teng Ai Ni, "Tomorrow night, I’m crashing the bridal chamber!"

Teng Ai Ni pouted, "What sister-in-law crashes the bridal chamber?"

Yi Luowa laughed, "Big sister-in-law and Connie definitely wouldn’t dare, but I’m now You Jia’s cousin!"

Teng Ai Ni looked to Qiqi and Connie for help, "Big sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, please keep an eye on her tomorrow!"

Qiqi giggled, "I’m not watching her, haha... let her crash it. During your big brother’s wedding, you guys kept crashing until four in the morning without leaving. This time, every one of you falls into my hands, and I’ll see how I deal with you! Luowa, I have a book on bridal chamber pranks, I’ll show it to you later."

Yi Luowa laughed and nodded, "Okay. Tomorrow, I’ll keep it going until 7 a.m. and make them head straight out for breakfast."

Hahaha... Finally, the family’s faces lit up with long-awaited smiles.
