Chapter 741: We Look Alike
Upon hearing that the person who woke up remembered nothing, Rong Qingqing turned and looked at Shen Jue."May I ask where he lives now?" Shen Jue came in and asked.
"Captain Jim brought him back, and he lives at Captain Jim’s house. If you want to find him, just head this way. The house with vegetables planted at the entrance belongs to Captain Jim. The vegetables were planted by him while recovering from his injuries. He’s very skilled at growing them and often shares them with us neighbors to sample for free. He’s a particularly warm-hearted person. If you know him and can help him find his family, that would be wonderful."
The elderly lady pointed the way to them enthusiastically and asked if they needed her to lead them there.
Shen Jue thanked her but shook his head, then asked about when the person had returned with Captain Jim.
The elderly couple thought for a moment and gave a rough idea of the time.
Rong Qingqing quietly whispered to Shen Jue, "The timeline matches. Captain Jim brought him back not many days after your father’s accident."
At the time of the accident, Father Shen pushed Shen Jue out of the car. He wasn’t able to jump out in time and fell off the bridge with the car.
Presumably, Father Shen found a way to escape from the car after falling into the water, sustained serious injuries along the way, and was only saved due to the good fortune of encountering the kind-hearted and medically trained Captain Jim.
After bidding farewell to the kindly old couple, Rong Qingqing and Shen Jue walked in the direction of Captain Jim’s house as told by the couple.
Throughout the journey, Shen Jue pursed his lips and kept his eyes lowered, saying nothing.
In contrast, Rong Qingqing kept talking all the way.
"Shen Jue, I think that person must be your dad. He was lucky enough to survive. If Mom and Shen Qiao find out, imagine how delighted they’ll be." Rong Qingqing was happy for Shen Jue, "After enduring so many hardships, look, your family will soon be reunited! It’s truly something worthy of celebration."
Thinking about it, Rong Qingqing chuckled softly, "Finding dad makes spending one billion six hundred million on that plot feel totally worth it."
Then she spoke about how miraculous the meteor was, falling right on this little-known fishing village, precisely at Father Shen’s resting spot.
"Thinking about it, I’m happy now. Mentioning one billion six hundred million doesn’t bother me anymore." Rong Qingqing shook Shen Jue’s arm, "Why aren’t you talking? What are you worried about? Weren’t that helpful grandpa and grandma saying earlier? Dad doesn’t remember where home is, it’s not that he didn’t want to come home."
Shen Jue finally hummed in response, raising his hand to gently pat Rong Qingqing’s head.
Captain Jim’s place was indeed easy to find. Along the way, they only saw one house with vegetables at the entrance. At this moment, the winter squash was hanging on the fence, very conspicuous, with a group of children gathered around it, seemingly betting on whether this growing object could be eaten.
As luck would have it, when Rong Qingqing and Shen Jue arrived, they saw the person unloading goods in the yard.
With his back towards the door, he didn’t notice the two people who, besides the kids, had come to the entrance.
That is until Rong Qingqing spoke up, asking, "May we come in?"
The man turned towards the entrance to take a look.
Rong Qingqing spoke in Mandarin, and Father Shen seemed to sense something, his gaze shifting from the girl at the door to the man beside her.
He stared at the man’s face for several moments and then spoke in a low voice, "We do look a bit alike."
This was his conclusion.
Father Shen was a smart man — although he couldn’t remember much, he hadn’t become silly.
After speaking, he finally looked at the girl and said in the same language, "Come in."
