Chapter 10: Final Comparison Results

Gu Zhiqi picked up her phone, gave Ling Mufeng a lazy, sidelong glance, cursed him a "dumbass," and then turned around to return to her bedside.

Ling Mufeng gritted his teeth secretly, feeling stifled and aggrieved.

He couldn't fight her now, but he would deal with this damn "green tea" sooner or later!

Seeing that the two hadn't come to blows, Lu Haichuan breathed a secret sigh of relief.

Returning to the bed, Gu Zhiqi gripped the needle. With a swift motion, she plunged it back into herself.

Lu Haichuan happened to witness this scene, only then realizing that the young girl had pulled the needle out just to pick up her phone.

"You little girl, why are you just sticking needles into yourself like that?" Lu Haichuan walked over to take a look.

He found that Gu Zhiqi had already re-inserted the needle.

Just as he was about to reprimand her, Tang Yichen beat him to it. "Gu Xiaoqi, since you're a fake heiress, have you found your biological parents yet?"

Gu Zhiqi:?

She lifted her eyelids and glanced at Tang Yichen. Gu... Xiaoqi?

"Gu Zhiqi," she corrected him.

Tang Yichen: "..."

*I know!*

*Doesn't it make us sound closer?*

"Um, that's not the point. Answer my question first," Tang Yichen spoke up somewhat urgently.

The more he looked at her, the more they resembled each other; perhaps there really was a connection.

"Mhm," Gu Zhiqi gave a perfunctory response.

"Who are they?"

"Country folk. Their ancestral home is Yuexi Village," Gu Zhiqi said, tilting her head as she thought, offering a casual, dismissive answer.

She remembered the village name was Yuexi Village.

Hearing this, Tang Yichen felt a sense of disappointment; it seemed it was just a coincidence.

However, Yuexi Village...

"Yuexi Village? What is your father's surname?"

"Gu."

Gu Xiyue's surname was Gu, so the original host's father should also be surnamed Gu. Was it Gu De? Gu Bo? Gu Debo?

It didn't matter anyway.

"What are your parents' names? What do they do?"

"Are you conducting a household registration check?" Gu Zhiqi raised an eyebrow, looking at Tang Yichen.

Wasn't he acting quite cold and aloof just now?

Why had he suddenly become so nosy?

Tang Yichen: "..."

"I'm just... curious. Just curious."

After saying that, Tang Yichen shut his mouth, instantly reverting to his cold and aloof demeanor.

His elder brother had said that one must be serious while working and cannot be chatty.

"She's probably afraid to say, because it's all due to her being a social climber who loves wealth and despises poverty." Someone else started being a smart-ass.

Gu Zhiqi heard it but ignored it, merely thinking to herself that exposing someone's secrets in front of a police officer wasn't a good idea.

Just then, the ward door was pushed open.

"Fourth Master, the comparison is complete." It was Yun Yan, returning after finishing his phone call.

Hearing Yun Yan's words, the three men in the ward all looked toward him simultaneously.

Ling Mufeng studied Yun Yan's expression, trying to discern something, but Yun Yan remained expressionless.

However, this indicated that there was likely a discrepancy in the comparison.

Thinking this, he glanced at Gu Zhiqi, already anticipating the sight of her weeping and admitting her mistakes.

Let her be arrogant! Let her show off! Let her make things up!

She'll be crying in a moment.

The more he thought about it, the harder it was to hide his excitement, and he began to plan how he would mock her later.

"The comparison is done?" Tang Yichen's eyes flickered.

Yun Yan nodded, handing the results to Tang Yichen while casting a subtle, unnoticeable glance at Gu Zhiqi.

Tang Yichen took the phone, not forgetting to ask, "Have the photos been shown to those people for identification?"

"They have. It is her."

Tang Yichen stared at the phone, his expression turning complex.

"How is it?" Lu Haichuan immediately leaned in to look.

Ling Mufeng also craned his neck to see. "I told you, it's all made up, right? I knew a dog couldn't change its..."

His words cut off abruptly upon seeing the text on the phone.

Final Comparison Result: The criminal's comprehensive statement is consistent with the victim's statement.
