Chapter 410
The few of them snapped back to reality and quickly smiled, "Right, right, right, this is our first time meeting Comrade Si. This girl is really beautiful!"They thought Si Nian said this because she was afraid of bringing up bad memories for Song Zhaodi, so they couldn't help but praise her for being considerate. If she hadn't said anything, they probably would have blurted it out.
It was all in the past anyway, and it wasn't good to bring up someone's sad affairs.
Song Zhaodi walked over to them. "I was worried that she was too young and wouldn't have anything to talk about with everyone, but it seems I was overthinking it."
Si Nian returned home and frowned.
She didn't know if she had watched too much Detective Conan, which made her overly cautious, but she always felt that the person with the least criminal tendency was the most likely to be the culprit.
But ten years ago, hadn't Song Zhaodi just married into the family for barely two years?
Not having a child after two years of marriage was already a huge taboo in this era.

No wonder her husband wanted a divorce.
And her name, just hearing it made it obvious that her family's situation probably wasn't very good.
Si Nian couldn't ask too much about this kind of thing, nor could she make it too obvious. Otherwise, if the real criminal was right next to her, it would be dangerous.
Si Nian thought that she shouldn't rush this matter. She would wait for Zhou Yueshen to come back and ask him to find someone to investigate it first.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Si Nian didn't ask about this matter again.
Song Zhaodi was quite enthusiastic and would often ask her to go grocery shopping together.
Xiao Bowen couldn't get anything out of Zhou Zedong, so he thought about asking Zhou Zehan about his father.
Zhou Zedong always ignored him and didn't like to talk.
He couldn't ask him anything at all.
But Zhou Zehan was different. He was so talkative; he would definitely tell him everything as soon as he asked.
Xiao Bowen went to Zhou Zehan's class and was dumbfounded when he saw him.
They hadn't seen each other for only two months, and Zhou Zehan was actually taller than him?
He looked in astonishment at Zhou Zehan, who was nearly half a shoulder taller than him, his small face flashing with disbelief.
How could someone grow so tall all of a sudden?
"Ah, Fang Bowen, are you looking for me?" Second Child was very excited to see him.
"My name is Xiao Bowen now, not Fang Bowen," Xiao Bowen corrected him.
"Ah, you changed your surname to your father's?"
Xiao Bowen nodded.
"Let me ask you, have you ever met your father?"
"Of course I have. I even ran eight kilometers with my dad this morning."
After he finished speaking, he shook his legs, which still felt a bit sore.
Xiao Bowen: "...I'm asking about your biological father."
"Biological father?" Second Child froze for a moment, a flash of confusion in his eyes. "Biological father? Do I have a biological father? Didn't my mom say I popped out of a rock?"
Xiao Bowen: "...Forget it, pretend I didn't ask."
With that, he turned and left.
He now understood why Zhou Zehan had grown so tall.
Because his brains had all gone into his height.
Second Child looked baffled.
When he went home in the afternoon, he was still wondering about this question.
He couldn't help but ask his brother, "Big brother, did I really pop out of a rock?"
Zhou Zedong paused while reading his book. "What do you mean?"
"I'm just curious. I asked my classmates, and they were all born to their moms and dads. But I wasn't born to my current mom and dad, so where did my previous mom and dad go?"
Zhou Zedong withdrew his gaze and said lightly, "You don't have a mom and dad. You popped right out of a rock. I saw it with my own eyes."
Zhou Zehan: "..."
When he got home, he found Si Nian and said apologetically, "Mom, I shouldn't have doubted you. My brother said I really did pop out of a rock."
Hearing this, Si Nian couldn't help but laugh. "That's what your brother said?"
Second Child: "Yes, he said he saw it with his own eyes."
"Mom, are my mom and dad really rocks? Doesn't that mean I'm different from my classmates?"
He thought about the story of Journey to the West that his mom had told him before, where Sun Wukong popped out of a rock.
But Sun Wukong was a monkey. Could it be that he was also a monkey?
Si Nian paused. Why was Second Child suddenly curious about his mom and dad?
She actually didn't know much about his parents either. After all, his mother had died early, and it wasn't described in the novel.
Talking about the deceased would only add to the sadness.
So she said, "Well... how should I put it? You'll know when you grow up."
Second Child nodded. "No wonder I'm different from my classmates. I run faster than them, and I know how to make Mom happy, while they only know how to make their moms cry."
As he spoke, he even started to look smug.
Si Nian smiled and rubbed his head. This optimistic personality was really nice. How did he end up becoming a gangster in the book?
When Zhou Yueshen came back at night, Si Nian told him about the murder case nearby.
Hearing her say that she suspected Wang Ergou might not be the real killer, Zhou Yueshen's expression also grew a bit more solemn.
He was just preparing to go on a business trip with Chen Nan for a few days, and didn't expect to hear about this.
Although ten years had passed, since Si Nian was suspicious, it was a hidden danger for them.
"How about we move away? The houses we bought before are all empty. We can change places."
Si Nian shook her head. "Wouldn't that be even weirder? We just moved here, and the furniture and everything are just set up. Moving again would be too troublesome."
This location was actually very good. It was right near the university, and the surrounding schools were all relatively good.
In the future, this would definitely be a prime school district house.
Right now, it was just because the houses here were old, plus the previous rumors about this kind of thing, some people had moved away, and the houses couldn't be sold. So the rumors spread wider and wider, and not many people moved in, which was why it was so deserted.
Zhou Yueshen naturally knew this too, but he wouldn't feel at ease if he wasn't at home.
This business trip was to discuss business, and he would be gone for several days.
He came back tonight just to hear Si Nian talk about this.
But now he couldn't settle his mind.
He said in a deep voice, "What you say makes sense. I have to leave in the middle of the night later. Before I go, I'll contact someone to keep an eye on you all. Try to interact with them less during this time."
"How many days will you be gone?"
Zhou Yueshen replied, "This collaboration is quite big, so Old Chen handed it over to me. It will probably take three or four days."
Si Nian nodded, able to understand. He was already so busy running the breeding farm, and now coming to Beijing to do business, there was no way it would be easy.
Si Nian told him not to worry, she knew what she was doing.
She told him to wake her up when he left.
At four in the morning, Zhou Yueshen got dressed and came to the bedside, but he couldn't bear to wake the sleeping Si Nian.
Even though she had emphasized it repeatedly, it was still early, and she had to go to class later.
Zhou Yueshen brushed aside the hair on Si Nian's cheek, gently kissed her smooth, fair forehead, and then went to his daughter's room.
Unexpectedly, Yaoyao was awake. Rubbing her eyes, she called out groggily, "Daddy, pee-pee." As she spoke, she let out a big yawn. Zhou Yueshen smiled and rubbed her head, picked the child up to go to the toilet, and then directly took her to Si Nian's room. He placed her on the bed, tucked her in, and said in a low voice, "Be good, don't wake Mommy up."
Yaoyao nodded obediently, closed her eyes, and fell back asleep.
Zhou Yueshen closed the door and went to his two sons' room. The two originally had separate rooms, but the Second Child was too scared to get up and use the bathroom at night, so he had stubbornly moved into his older brother's room again.
Right now, he was sleeping sprawled out on his back with one leg draped over his brother, the blanket nowhere to be seen.
Zhou Yueshen pulled the blanket up to cover the two children, walked out, patted Da Huang's head, and left.
...
As soon as he arrived at the factory, he said to Chen Nan, who was on the phone, "Old Chen, come out here. I need to talk to you about something."
Old Chen's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling about this.
