"I'll go upstairs and change clothes." Qin Nianzhen stood up and covered An Yunxi with a thin blanket, "You watch TV downstairs for a while."
"Yeah." An Yunxi lay down and found a comfortable position.
Qin Nianzhen remained calm and quietly went upstairs.
After entering her room, she quickly rummaged around in the cabinet.
Finally, I found a very old address book. Because it had not been used for many years, the paper was a little brittle and it gave off an old fragrance.
She rummaged quickly and found the phone number of the K City Orphanage.
After she found the child, she rarely contacted the K City Orphanage. Although she often made donations, she always contacted the Charity Federation. She also did not have the phone number of Li Ruoying, the director of the orphanage.
She walked into the bathroom, which was better soundproofed.
She called the orphanage.
Although it was night, the phone was connected after a few rings.
"Hello, this is K City Orphanage. What can I do for you so late?"
"Hello, I would like to find Dean Li, or you can give me her phone number. I have something urgent to ask her," Qin Nianzhen said.
There was silence on the phone for a moment.
Then, with pain in his voice, he said, "You don't know that such a big thing happened?"
"What should I know?" Qin Nianzhen felt a thump in her heart and had a bad feeling.
"Dean Li is dead. We received a notification from the police station. Dean Li went to the capital to attend a charity gala, lost his footing and fell into the reservoir. He has passed away."
"What?! Dean Li Ruoying, died in the Beijing Reservoir?" Qin Nianzhen almost thought he heard wrong, so he confirmed it again.
"Yes. The orphanage has sent people to the capital. After the forensic examination is completed, her body will be brought back to K City for burial. I thought that such a big thing would be known to the outside world. I'm sorry, Director Li Ruoying, I will never come back.
Come."
The other party choked up with tears at the end.
"I'm afraid I can't ask you anything you want to ask. Yesterday, someone came to inquire about something. Hey, I don't know if he finally asked. Sorry, I didn't help you."
"Wait a minute." Seeing that the other party was about to hang up, Qin Nianzhen asked quickly, "Someone also went to the orphanage yesterday to inquire about things. Is that person's name Zuo Chenye?"
"Yes." The voice on the phone was slightly surprised, "It's the famous Mr. Zuo. If you want to ask about the same thing, you can ask him. Maybe he will find something."
"You know what he asked about?"
"It seems that I don't know the details about the family search a few years ago. I'm new here, only two years ago. No matter how early it was, I don't know about it."
"OK, thanks."
Qin Nianzhen hung up the phone.
She lowered her head and looked at her fingers holding the phone, trembling uncontrollably.
The search for relatives a few years ago must have meant that the Xia family went to the orphanage to look for their child who had been separated for twenty years.
Apart from this, there is nothing else.
Zuo Chenye must have known something.
At this moment, she was almost sure.
But, how could Dean Li Ruoying die at such a critical moment?
In her opinion, the credibility of slipping and falling into the water was too low.
