Chen Jin was stunned. It was her!
All his memories returned to that bar 21 years ago. In the dark room on the bed, he saw that face and that pair of eyes. He had never forgotten it all these years.
She was that woman from 21 years ago.
What did An 'an call her, Mom?
Chen Jin's gaze shifted from Huo Yanmei to An 'an. He was shocked and in disbelief.
An 'an was 21 years old this year. Could she be … his daughter?
The blood in Chen Jin's heart surged. This thought was like a vine growing in his heart. From the first time he saw An 'an, he had already taken a liking to this lass. There seemed to be something in the unseen world that was attracting him. Was it … blood relations?
At this moment, Huo Yanmei walked over quickly. She held An 'an's hand. "An' an, let Mom take a look. Have you recovered from your injuries?"
"Mom, I'm fine. I've been discharged." With that, An 'an looked at Chen Jin. "Mom, this is the General."
Huo Yanmei lifted her eyes and looked at Chen Jin.
With one look, her pupils contracted and her body froze.
It was him!
It was him!
Huo Yanmei remembered that 21 years ago, she and Gu Tianling had an unhappy marriage. She was in low spirits. That day in the bar, she got drunk and slept with a man.
When she woke up the next day, the room was empty. The man had already left.
She quickly pulled up the surveillance footage of the bar. She saw a tall black figure in the footage and saw his face.
She had never forgotten about it.
Later on, An 'an had leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant from a close relative. All these years, she had been looking for this man.
But all the information was lost. It was as if this man had disappeared from the world. She could not find him at all.
She had once thought that he was dead.
But now, this man was standing right in front of her.
Huo Yanmei was stunned. Her face was pale as she looked at Chen Jin.
"Mom, what's wrong?" At this moment, An 'an tugged on Huo Yanmei's sleeve.
Huo Yanmei quickly regained her senses. She met An 'an's puzzled gaze and forced a smile. "I'm fine. Maybe I just got off the plane and I'm feeling a little dizzy. An' an, I'm thirsty. Go get me a glass of water."
"Okay." An 'an left.
…
After An An left, Huo Yanmei looked at Chen Jin. At this moment, the confidential secretary walked forward and said in a low voice, "General, there's another meeting later."
Chen Jin waved his hand.
The confidential secretary quickly retreated.
Huo Yanmei turned around and arrived at the entrance of a staircase.
Very quickly, she heard the sound of steady and dignified footsteps, which stopped behind her.
Huo Yanmei turned her back. She knew that the man had come.
"Who are you?" she asked.
Chen Jin looked at the woman's back view. After all these years, she seemed to have become more gloomy and sorrowful. She was lifeless but she still held on to her pride. It was pitiful.
"I'm Chen Jin, the commander of an army," Chen Jin said simply.
Huo Yanmei raised her eyes and still didn't turn around. "An'an is your biological daughter. If you don't believe it, you can check DNA."
Chen Jin was stunned. He had already thought of this possibility, but when Huo Yanmei told him this personally, he was still shocked.
An'an was really his daughter.
He was thinking about how she had asked for his identity and confirmed that he was the Bureau Chief. That was why she had told him that An An was his daughter. In other words, if he wasn't the Bureau Chief and was just an ordinary person, she wouldn't have said it.
This woman was very realistic.
"21 years ago, when I returned after completing my mission, I sent someone to check. However, the surveillance cameras in the bar had already been destroyed."
He had looked for her.
Although an accident had happened while he was out on a mission, he wasn't an irresponsible man.
His first wife had passed away six years ago.
Huo Yanmei's voice was cold. "I was the one who sent someone to do it. The Young Madam of the Gu family in the Capital is not allowed to have an affair."
Chen Jin's expression changed. So she was a married woman.
"I'm sorry."
Huo Yanmei didn't respond.
"How has An'an been all these years?"
After this question was asked, Huo Yanmei slowly turned around and looked at Chen Jin. "Not good."
Chen Jin pursed his lips.
Huo Yanmei straightened her back. "My husband is ashamed of An 'an. When An' an was six years old, my husband gave her to a human trafficker. It was Lu Yan who saved her. She never returned home after that. She was born with leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant from a close relative. I've been looking for you for many years, but I couldn't find you. Fortunately, her brother dotes on her very much."
An 'an's brother was the son she had with her husband?
Chen Jin recalled what An 'an had said just now. She had said that she didn't have a father.
How could she have found him?
His career had been smooth sailing. There was no way to find any information on him.
"I'm sorry …" Chen Jin apologized again.
The first 'sorry' was for her and the second 'sorry' was for An 'an.
"No matter how many times you apologize, you won't be able to make it up to An 'an. You're the General now, I hope that you'll treat An' an well in the future."
With that, Huo Yanmei left in her high heels.
After she left, Chen Jin stood there for a while. An 'an was his daughter!
His heart was filled with joy. As a father, he would definitely make it up to her.
"General." At this moment, the confidential secretary walked over.
Chen Jin said, "Report to the higher-ups that An 'an is my daughter. I want An' an's household registration to be under my name."
An 'an was not his illegitimate daughter. She was the General's daughter. Once her household registration was registered, An' an would be able to enjoy the respect and glory that she deserved.
The confidential secretary said, "General, such a report requires a DNA paternity test. Should I go and get it done now?"
Actually, there was no need for a DNA paternity test. Chen Jin had already confirmed that An 'an was his biological daughter. But the higher-ups had rules and they had to follow the rules.
"Go and get it done."
"Yes, General."
…
Lu Yan arrived along the corridor with Li Si standing beside him.
They watched as Huo Yanmei walked out from the staircase, followed closely by Chen Jin and his confidential secretary.
Li Si was shocked when he saw this scene. "Yan Zi, isn't that An 'an's mother, Huo Yanmei? Why is Huo Yanmei walking out with the General one after the other? Do they know each other?"
Lu Yan had both hands in his pockets. His brown eyes flickered, they were deep and sharp.
Huo Yanmei and Chen Jin?
What was their relationship?
Lu Yan pursed his thin lips.
