After her rebirth, she became an unattainable woman.

Chapter 20 The Number That Was So Hard to Find

Just as Song Qiao was about to reveal the truth, Lu Mingxuan stopped her with a look.

"Auntie, we just want to ask about someone. There was a doctor named Ma Fangfang who was with Wang Xia at the hospital back then. We want to know which hospital she's at now?"

Lu Mingxuan knew that as a mother, she would not cooperate if her child's interests were involved, so he deliberately steered the conversation toward Ma Fangfang.

“If you’re looking for Ma Fangfang, just go directly to her. Why go through all this trouble to find my daughter? Do you think my daughter would know where she is?”

Hearing Wang Xia's mother say this, Lu Mingxuan smiled and said, "We didn't come here on purpose. We went to Ma Fangfang's house, but no one was home, so we came to ask. If you know Wang Xia's number, please give it to me. We're just asking about someone, please do us a favor."

Song Qiao had never seen Lu Mingxuan use the emotional appeal before. Looking at his sincere pleading, she really hadn't realized he had this ability.

In Song Qiao's memory, Lu Mingxuan never asked for favors.

"Okay! You wait while I go get it."

In the end, Wang Xia's mother was moved by Lu Mingxuan. She went to get her old-fashioned mobile phone, and because her eyesight was poor, she held it up far away and read out, "138..."

Lu Mingxuan immediately wrote it down on his phone, and then asked Wang Xia's mother, "Auntie, are you getting presbyopia? My mom is getting presbyopia too."

Lu Mingxuan continued to play the emotional card, and sure enough, Wang Xia's mother fell for it, handing him her phone: "Yes, my eyes can't see clearly anymore, can you see if this is the number?"

Lu Mingxuan glanced at the phone and saw the words "Wang Xia" written on it. He checked the number before handing the phone back to her: "Auntie, this is your daughter's number."

When Lu Mingxuan left Wang Xia's house with Song Qiao, the dog barked even more fiercely, seemingly audible throughout half the village.

Song Qiao walked past it nonchalantly, completely ignoring the dog, leaving Lu Mingxuan incredulous.

“Auntie, you should go back now. Wang Xia is here, so please make sure she’s well taken care of.” Lu Mingxuan pretended very well.

After walking out the door, Song Qiao whispered to Lu Mingxuan, "After we leave, will she continue to call her daughter? Will her daughter change her number?"

“She won’t call now unless her daughter calls.”

Song Qiao looked at Lu Mingxuan with suspicion. Where did he get his confidence from?

"Just you wait and see. When we called Wang Xia, she had no idea that we were coming to her house to see her."

"why?"

Song Qiao believed that her mother would not dare to be careless about this matter and would definitely inform Wang Xia.

"Because her mother is frugal, she wouldn't even spend two cents on a phone call. I also checked her phone and found that all the calls on it were to family numbers, and none of them were outgoing calls."

Song Qiao looked at Lu Mingxuan curiously, and only then did she notice his thoughtfulness.

After leaving Wang Xia's door and arriving at a quiet place, Lu Mingxuan dialed Wang Xia's number.

The number was displayed in Zhoucheng. Before Wang Xia could answer, he decisively ended the call.

"What are you doing? Aren't you looking for Wang Xia?" Song Qiao looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Lu Mingxuan glanced at Song Qiao, then looked down at his phone: "Don't rush me, I need to know where she lives first. Phone numbers are all registered under real names these days."

After saying that, Lu Mingxuan dialed another number. The call connected: "Hey! Mingxuan, long time no see!"

"It's been so long! It's only been less than a week, hasn't it? You've returned to China and joined China Unicom?"

"I got in, but once I got here, I realized how boring it is. I'm so annoyed looking at piles of numbers every day!"

"No need to worry now. I'll give you a task: find information about a woman named Wang Xia. Her phone number is 138... and the last four digits are 1230. Find out her address in Zhoucheng."

Now Song Qiao finally understood why Lu Mingxuan had dialed Wang Xia's number and immediately turned off his phone: he was looking for her location.

"Okay! No problem, I'll send it to you in ten minutes."

After ending the call, while Lu Mingxuan was waiting, the phone was dialed to Wang Xia again.

After waiting for about ten seconds, a woman's voice answered: "Hello! Who are you looking for?"

The woman opposite him spoke with caution.

Song Qiaoxin immediately tensed up, and at the same time, she was filled with resentment towards the voice: You switched my child, will you feel guilty for the rest of your life?

"Are you Wang Xia? I am Lu Mingxuan from Huaxia Hospital. I am investigating a case from five years ago in which a woman gave birth in the hospital. Please answer truthfully."

"Lu Mingxuan? I don't know you, and I don't remember which woman you mentioned giving birth. There are many women giving birth."

Wang Xia's tone was unfriendly in her reply.

"The woman whose baby you switched is named Song Qiao. She is looking for her child. We have found out that you took the baby. Where did you take it? We hope you will cooperate."

"I don't know what you're saying, and I don't understand it!"

After saying this, Wang Xia ended the call.

"Hey……"

Sure enough, she wouldn't admit it. Song Qiao looked at Lu Mingxuan angrily and said, "Give me her number, I'll call her!"

"Don't worry, let's wait until my old classmate finds her address. She won't get away."

Song Qiao looked at him and thought to herself: It's a good thing I brought Lu Mingxuan along. If I had come on my own, I would have been turned away long ago. Even if I hadn't been turned away, Wang Xia wouldn't have answered my calls.

Lu Mingxuan wouldn't let Song Qiao call, so he dialed the number again, but it rang a few times and then he hung up.

Lu Mingxuan immediately edited a text message and sent it to her: "Wang Xia, Song Qiao has already called the police. You had better cooperate, otherwise you will be in big trouble. As long as you cooperate and reveal who is behind this, Song Qiao will not hold you accountable."

After sending it, Lu Mingxuan continued editing: "You don't want to live in fear for the rest of your life, do you? Besides, you're not the one who caused this, and you shouldn't have to pay for someone else's mistakes."

After Lu Mingxuan quickly sent the message, when he sent another question mark, a red exclamation mark appeared.

"It's off!"

Just as Lu Mingxuan finished speaking, his classmate from China Unicom called.

"Hey! Bai Liang, have you found it?" Lu Mingxuan asked, looking at Song Qiao's anxious expression.

"Found it, I sent it to you via text message. Please take a look, Mr. Lu! Any further instructions?"

Upon hearing Bai Liang address him as "President Lu," Lu Mingxuan quickly replied, "Nothing for now. I'll come see you another day. Get ready; I'll bring your sister-in-law along this time."

"Sister-in-law? You're in a relationship? Didn't we both say we'd stay single? Who said women are troublesome..."

"Alright, stop nagging. Also, keep this a secret. I'll come over for a drink another day."

"Okay, I'll wait for you! And while you're at it, bring me two bottles of your old man's Moutai, I'm craving it."

"no problem!"

After the two ended the call, Lu Mingxuan looked at the message from Bai Liang to Wang Xia and whispered, "You can change your phone number, but can you change where you live?"
