After a secret marriage, I became the biological mother of a rich and cute baby

Gu Jinlan quickly picked up the phone and called Matt.

It was a long time before Matt answered the phone, and loud dance music came from the other end.

Gu Jinlan asked: "What are you doing?"

"We're drinking at the bar." Matt asked, "Are you coming?"

"I can't hear you clearly. It's too noisy over there. Let's go to a quieter place. I have something to ask you."

"Good lady."

Gu Jinlan was waiting anxiously, holding the cell phone in one hand and taking out the lighter from the desk drawer with the other hand, pressing the lighter again and again.

After agreeing to quit smoking with Ranran, she got into the habit of playing with her lighter whenever she wanted to smoke.

In the quiet study, there was only the sound of lighters clicking.

Gu Jinlan was so anxious that she lost her patience. "Are you done? Hurry up."

"Right away." Matt finally quieted down and his panting voice could be heard.

"Okay, I haven't seen you so anxious before. Are the Japanese going to enter the village?"

Gu Jinlan didn't want to joke with Matt, so she went straight to the point, "Take a picture of your favorite pair of sneakers and show it to me."

"What? Are you going to give me shoes?"

"Stop talking nonsense and take a picture for me."

"You know I treat that pair of shoes like a family heirloom. How could I possibly wear them? I didn't bring them back home this time."

"Do you have any photos on your phone?"

"It should be there. I'll look for it."

"Okay, find it and send it to me right away. Don't hang up the phone yet."

After saying that, Gu Jinlan looked at the pair of shoes on the computer screen again.

The surveillance video wasn't clear enough and the distance was too far, so the enlarged shoes weren't very clear, but she felt they looked very familiar.

About a year ago, she went to Matt's home in Country M to drink. Matt was drunk and brought a pair of shoes and put them on the dining table.

He said with tears in his eyes that the pair of shoes was the first and only gift his father gave him.

As the illegitimate son of the Matt family, Matt is very unpopular.

Since he was a child, he had never been able to get any good things.

When he grew up, the resources that his family could provide were not available to him.

Just the sneakers.

Although he knew very well that it was just a gift given to him by his father on his twentieth birthday.

But he regarded it as a treasure.

Later, he left Haicheng and went to Country M to start his own business, and took the pair of shoes with him.

Today, Matt's personal net worth has far exceeded that of the entire Matt family.

And that pair of shoes is still treasured by him.

"Lanlan, I sent it to you." Matt's voice came from the phone.

Gu Jinlan came back to his senses and quickly opened WeChat to check.

She held her phone up to her computer screen and compared the photo Matt had sent her with the shoes in the surveillance video.

It’s a style indeed!

To confirm again, she sent Matt a screenshot of the shoes in the surveillance video, "Please help me check if this pair of shoes is the same as yours."

Matt said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Take a closer look, can you be sure?"

"Although the photo you sent me is a little blurry, I can't be mistaken, it is the same model."

Gu Jinlan's heart suddenly started beating wildly.

She remembered Matt saying that this pair of custom sneakers was limited to fifty pairs worldwide.

Finding a left-handed person out of fifty people, the target range is very small!

This time, she truly felt that she was getting closer to her child!

Matt added: "But I can't see the details clearly, so I don't know if it's a replica."

Given Matt's love for this pair of shoes, he can tell the fake ones at a glance.

Hearing her say this, Gu Jinlan's heart sank again.

If the man in the surveillance video is wearing a replica, there will be no way to find it.

She bit her lip and asked, "Is this style copied everywhere?"

Matt said: "It's not the kind that is everywhere on the street. It's very expensive to imitate this style, and the fakes don't make much money. I have only seen fake goods once in the past two years, and it was seen by people who didn't have much money in their pockets but were very proud."

Gu Jinlan fell into deep thought.

Can a child stealer afford a pair of custom-made shoes that are limited to the world?

But no matter what, this is also a clue, and we can't miss any possibility.

Must check!

"Lanlan, why are you asking about these shoes?" Matt asked, "Who is the person in the photo? He doesn't look as good in those shoes as I do."

Gu Jinlan: “…”

In the photo, you can only see the area below the ankles. Can you tell whether the outfit looks good or not from this?

Gu Jinlan asked: "Do you know anyone from the brand of these shoes?"

"I know an executive. We sometimes drink together."

"Then help me check who bought this pair of shoes back then. I want to check something, but it's not convenient for me to tell you right now."

"Okay, no problem." Matt agreed without hesitation, "I'll help you check it. Don't ask why."

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me, just buy me a drink."

"Okay." Gu Jinlan smiled, "Just in the next two days, wait for me to ask you out."

"OK, I'll wait as long as it takes."

"Then what I asked you to check for me..."

"Don't worry, I'll give you a list as soon as possible. Are you still worried about my efficiency?"

With Matt's words, Gu Jinlan felt reassured.

Although, someone who can afford limited edition couture shoes is unlikely to steal a child.

But she just had a hunch that the man in the surveillance video was among the fifty people who bought that pair of shoes!

After hanging up the phone, she looked at the surveillance video that was playing in a loop again.

The sportswear the man is wearing can also be vaguely seen to be from a big brand.

After carefully observing the man's every move, her intuition told her that this was definitely not an ordinary human trafficker.

Gu Jinlan continued to watch it over and over again, trying to dig out some useful clues.

She was concentrating on staring at the computer screen without blinking, when suddenly her cell phone rang, startling her.

It’s Si Mo calling.

There was a hint of joy in Si Mo's hoarse voice, "Lan, have you read the email?"

"I have. Thank you."

"Can you tell from the surveillance video whether that person knows you?"

"I don't know him, but I found some clues."

"That's good." Si Mo chuckled twice.

"By the way, Shi Ye's blood..." Before Gu Jinlan could finish her question, Si Mo suddenly started coughing violently.

"Cough...cough cough cough!"

Hearing him coughing painfully, Gu Jinlan frowned.

Si Mo was in poor health, and when we first met he was sitting in a wheelchair.

After the organization underwent neurosurgery and implanted toxins, Si Mo's health was worse than before.

Originally, she wanted to ask Si Mo how Shi Ye’s blood test results were and whether it was possible to develop a medicine that could cure his sequelae?

Hearing Si Mo coughing so painfully, she couldn't bear to urge him.

In the past two years, Si Mo has been racing against death with her and Qingli.

Given their relationship, he would definitely not delay doing what she asked him to do.

"Drink some water first." Gu Jinlan said worriedly.

She was not with Si Mo at the moment, and could not pat him on the back when he coughed like she used to.

Si Mo coughed for a long time before he recovered, "Don't worry...it's okay."

Gu Jinlan reminded: "You should take good rest. Some things don't need to be rushed."

"I know my limits." Si Mo's weak voice revealed a hint of smile, "Tonight, you are in great shape."

Hearing this, Gu Jinlan was stunned for a moment, "Do you know what happened at Huo Zijin's house tonight?"
