294 Leaving Jing City
Liu Siyan’s eyes were also red. He turned off the lights in the car to better hide his tears. “Did you remember it after you fell into the pool?”
Liu Siyu covered her ears and shouted, “Brother, please stop talking. I don’t want to be someone else’s child. I’m your sister!”
Liu Siyan pulled his crying sister into his arms and patted her shoulder. “I can’t bear to leave you either, but I can’t hide it from you. I want to hide you so badly and let you be my sister for the rest of my life.” However, he could not hide anymore.
“Brother, I’m so scared.” Liu Siyu cried in Liu Siyan’s arms. She was afraid of such a big change. She had been pampered by her family since she was young and had never experienced any hardships. How could she accept the fact that she suddenly found out her identity when she was twenty? No matter how good the Ji family was, it was not as good as the Liu family she had lived in for fifteen years.

Liu Siyan’s tears fell on his sister’s clothes. He consoled her, “Xiaoyu, don’t be afraid. Whether you are Liu Siyu or Ji Xiaoyu, you will always be my sister. I will always protect you and be by your side. Dad and Mom will love you forever. We will be a family for life.”
The brother and sister stayed outside for two hours before returning home. As soon as they entered the house, they heard Mrs. Liu going out to look for her daughter like crazy. “No, the Ji family can’t take my daughter away from me. Hubby, quit your job. We’ll leave Jing City!”
Mr. Liu held his wife, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown. “Honey, Xiaoyu left a long time ago. We took the Ji family’s daughter away!”
Mrs. Liu burst into tears. The contract that stated she would give her company away for free was still on the coffee table.
Liu Siyu walked into the living room step by step. She pursed her lips and cried again, “Mom, Dad, you already know?”
“Siyu, you’re back,” Mrs. Liu said as he looked at his daughter, whose eyes were red and swollen.
“Dad, Mom, I’ve already told Xiaoyu,” Liu Siyan said to his parents.
Mrs. Liu pushed her husband away and ran to her daughter. She held her hand and said, “Siyu, you’re a great kid. You’re my child, so don’t go to the Ji family. Let’s leave Jing City as a family, okay? I don’t want my company anymore, and your dad has resigned. Let’s go together!”
Liu Siyu broke down again. “Mom!” she shouted. Then, she cried and hugged her mother.
The Liu family had a sleepless night, and the Ji family was not peaceful either.
The couple told Old Master Ji and Mayor Ji everything from how they found out about Xiaoyu to how they confirmed her identity.
“That b*stard!” Old Master Ji was furious. “How dare he lie to me!” He clenched his fists tightly and glared. He gritted his teeth so hard that his eyes bulged. He wished he could chew up the person who lied to him and spit him out. His daughter was not dead!
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Old Master Ji asked.
“There are many things that we haven’t investigated,” Ji Lingchen explained.
“And now?” Old Master Ji was alert now.
Ji Lingchen looked at his father and coldly asked, “Why did you go to the police station to close the case less than a month after Xiaoyu went missing?”
When the Liu family first found Xiaoyu, they went to the police station to ask about her, but they did not find any information about her.
Ji Lingchen did not believe it at first, but after some investigation, he found out that his father had closed the case less than a month after his sister’s disappearance. He had also suspected that someone had secretly instructed him to do so, but in the end, it was confirmed that his father had personally handled the case. Why did he do that? “Didn’t you want to look for your daughter?” Ji Lingchen wanted his father to give him an explanation.
“Dad, you know what? If the Liu family had gone to the police station and found Xiaoyu among the missing people, we would have found Xiaoyu back then and not missed out on 15 years. Why did you send someone to look for Xiaoyu, and at the same time, close the case?”
Hearing this, Old Master Ji was stunned. He had closed the case early, and that made him miss 15 years of his daughter’s life! There was regret in his cloudy eyes.
“Lingchen, the reason why I went to close the case was because I had already found ‘Xiaoyu’.”
Old Master Ji remembered that the child who had died a tragic death back then was his daughter! Her height, body shape, and even the shoes she was wearing all matched those of his daughter. The test results from the forensic doctor also confirmed that she was his daughter. That was why he dropped the case, because there was no need to trouble the police. Who would have thought that after the case was closed, the Liu family would bring Xiaoyu to the police station?
After the case was closed, Old Master Ji wanted to tell his sons the truth. He wanted to say that it was impossible to find Xiaoyu, but his two sons continued searching for her like crazy. Old Master Ji had no choice but to pretend that he was still looking for his daughter in order to give his two sons something to live for. In the end, his wife left them as well.
