Father is a villainous Buddhist disciple? He'll just be beaten into the light of the righteous

After coming out of the kitchen, Shen Ji grabbed Shen Jiyuan's arm and said in a deep voice, "Dad, I want to go to the Angel Welfare Home."

Shen Jiyuan's face remained expressionless. He simply said, "Angel Welfare Home is in the county town. We have to go back to Qingfeng County to get there."

He paused, then asked, "You suspect that Mo Yan... and Mo Yushu have some kind of relationship?"

Shen Ji nodded. "In the eyes of the Sheng family, Mo Yan is Mo Yushu's biological son, the illegitimate child, so they took Mo Yan back."

"But in fact, Liang Huai'an is the real Mo Yan."

"That means the current Mo Yan is fake. He is the poor boy in the prince and the poor boy story. He has replaced Liang Huai'an's identity."

"But the Sheng family isn't stupid. Are they really not going to do a paternity test after taking the person back?"

Why wasn't Mo Yan's true identity revealed?

Shen Ji raised his eyes and took a deep breath. "Also, Auntie just said that on the day Mo Yan left the orphanage, he saw Mo Yu Shu."

Why was Mo Yushu there?

"This is definitely not a coincidence."

Shen Jiyuan had actually thought of this as well, and he nodded, "Indeed."

Shen Jidao said, "I suspect that Mo Yushu doesn't actually want Liang Huai'an to go back to the Sheng family. Although the Sheng family is rich, it's not a family where one can live a good life."

Shen Jiyuan looked at him. "So, you think that Mo Yushu and Mo Yan conspired to deceive the Sheng family, that Mo Yan, this poor boy, wanted a life of luxury and didn't care about those things, and that Mo Yushu didn't want Liang Huai'an to return to the Sheng family, so she helped Mo Yan become the real Mo Yan?"

Shen Jidao said, "I think this is the most likely possibility."

Although these were all just his guesses, his intuition was always very accurate, and he felt that it was probably true.

"It's been too long," Shen Jiyuan said, frowning. "Those people from the Angel Welfare Home back then have probably retired and are no longer there, and the archives probably won't have any clues."

Shen Ji was taken aback for a moment and asked, "Why?"

Shen Jiyuan said, "I've known Mo Yan for so many years. Although we can't be considered close friends, we can still be called friends."

"I know him quite well."

"Mo Yan is an extremely meticulous person. Don't be fooled by his refined and polite appearance; he's a man of great learning."

"His greatest strength is defeating his opponents without bloodshed and without leaving any evidence. In the end, even his opponents may not know what trick they have fallen into."

Shen Jiyuan sighed helplessly, "When we first started working together, he tricked me several times."

He turned to look at Shen Ji, "If you want to start your investigation from the orphanage, I don't think you'll find anything useful."

Shen Ji was stunned.

Suddenly I realized that his dad was right.

If the Sheng family didn't notice anything wrong back then, it means that Mo Yan really cleaned up the traces very well. Now that more than 20 years have passed, if he investigates again, he probably won't find anything.

Shen Jiyuan patted him on the back, "Actually, I think your idea is correct. Mo Yan should be the same Mo Yan from the orphanage back then."

"Furthermore, he knows Bai Xi and Ke Wei."

"That makes sense," Shen Jiyuan paused for a moment and said, "After all, they were in the same orphanage and were about the same age."

"As for how Mo Yan became Mo Yan, it must have been Mo Yu Shu's doing."

Shen Ji suddenly looked up in surprise, slapped his hand, and said, "That's right! Fan Zhining!"

"The person who adopted Mo Yan is also from Qingfeng County!" He narrowed his eyes. "Could they also be from Yunxi Village?"

Shen Jiyuan paused for a moment, then said, "Ask Sijiu."

Shiku: "..."

Although he disliked Old Deng, he still lovingly fulfilled his eldest son's needs.

He quickly pulled up Fan Zhining's information and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, he really is from Yunxi Village!"

Shen Ji glanced at the information, which was the same as what Uncle Zhao had found before. He was an old bachelor in the village who adopted Mo Yan, but died less than two years later.

But Auntie just said that when 'Mo Yan' was taken back, she saw her at the orphanage, and Mo Yu Shu was also at the orphanage at that time.

So how did Mo Yan come to be adopted by Fan Zhining?

Shen Ji couldn't figure it out. It seemed like he had overlooked something. His mind was racing, as if everything was about to become clear, but he couldn't break through the critical point.

That's why he was still sullen during lunch.

Shen Jiming looked at him, puzzled, then at Shen Jiyuan, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with him? Is the food here not to his liking?"

Shen Jiyuan ignored him. "Eat your food. What's it to you?"

Shen Jiming: "..."

It's truly a case of the dog biting Lü Dongbin.

Shen Jiyuan ladled a bowl of fresh fish soup for him and placed it in front of him with a thud. "I said, that's enough. Who was the one who was just saying they were hungry?"

"You'd better eat your food properly!"

Shen Ji raised her eyes and glanced at him, then lazily uttered an "oh".

The food at farmhouses consists of home-style dishes, many of which are local specialties, and even the meat is raised by the owners themselves.

Shen Jiyuan rarely ate this kind of food, but this time he found the taste to be quite good.

He thought Shen Ji was right. When he left, he would definitely buy some cured meat and local specialties to take back so that his parents could also try them.

The meal was quite lively. After finishing, everyone went to play cards. After all, it was June, and the midday sun was very strong, so no one dared to go out and have fun.

The three- and four-story buildings of the farmhouse were all for accommodation. Shen Jiyuan booked a few rooms, and those who weren't playing cards were allowed to rest.

He pulled Shen Ji into the room as well, saying, "Take a nap first, don't think about so much."

"Let's go out for a walk when the sun isn't too strong anymore."

Shen Ji sighed and nodded.

Forget it.

There's no point in rushing things; let's take it slow.

He had just lain down on the bed when the door to his room was pushed open from the outside. He thought it was Shen Jiyuan, but when he looked up, he saw that it was Shen Jiming.

He paused, somewhat surprised, "Second Uncle?"

"What brings you here? Weren't you playing cards?"

"Old Zhu took over my job." Shen Jiming strode into the room and casually closed the door. "There are no rooms available. I haven't slept well these past few days filming night scenes, so I'll just squeeze in with you."

Shen Ji quickly spread out on the bed, taking up most of it. "No, why don't you go squeeze in with your brother?"

Shen Jiming ignored him, lifted his arm, and lay down directly. "Don't you know your husband is a germaphobe? He only shares a bed with you. Anyone else who touches his bed is doomed. I want to live a couple more years."

Shen Ji: "..."
