Identity (3)

But right now, she didn't dare to speak, nor could she. First and foremost, she had to escape Qin Xiu and stay at her older brother's house so she could help him.

"Brother, please keep me here. I will stay by your side forever," she whispered.

Her eyes filled with anticipation as she watched her brother's lips slowly curve up into a crescent moon smile.

He didn't say a word, but he nodded vigorously several times.

...

The moment Hu Jie sat down, she began to speak, but it wasn't about Wu Xiaohua; it was about Qin Xiu.

"Officer Zhao, I want to make a report under my real name. Secretary Ma of our factory and Qin Xiu are having an improper relationship. I would even dare to assert that Ban Xia is Secretary Ma's child. Think about it, what kind of background does Shen Sibao have? He's the descendant of a counter-revolutionary. On what basis was he promoted to deputy secretary, even managing the lucrative foreign trade department? There is only one possibility: he is raising our secretary's child for him!" Hu Jie went straight to the point, dropping a bombshell.

Zhao He was a discharged soldier who had transitioned to working at the Haidong Branch of the Haidong City Police Department. She was very familiar with the Cixin Factory.

Secretary Ma was the head of the Cixin Factory. Nearly sixty years old, he was a highly upright veteran cadre with two sons and a daughter. His daughter worked at the Cixin Factory's Medical Research Institute, while his two sons both worked in government departments, with one even rising to the State Planning Commission. He could be described as highly respected and of noble character.

Would someone like him copy those nouveau riche who kept mistresses and even had children with them? This was truly hard to believe.

"Qin Xiu has no educational qualifications and is just a country girl. Just now, my husband, Old Jin, reviewed her file. There is no embossed seal on her diploma; it's a fake certificate!" Hu Jie added, "Officer Zhao, think about it. If she didn't have an improper relationship with Secretary Ma, why would he hire her?"

"Do you think Qin Xiu and her husband abuse Ban Xia because she is Secretary Ma's daughter?" Zhao He asked.

Hu Jie clapped her hands. "Secretary Ma is about to retire, and Shen Sibao is about to take over the top position. Isn't Ban Xia a thorn in the side of that couple?"

Hearing this, it did seem to make some sense.

Seeing Zhao He nod, Hu Jie continued, "I work at the factory's clinic. Last year, during the factory-wide physical examinations, everyone's blood type was tested, and I still have the records. Blood types can help determine biological relationships. Although it's not entirely precise, the probability is very high. Why don't we check Ban Xia's blood type and see whose child she really is? What do you think?"
