Chapter 1206 - I Am Your Father-in-Law（4）

Eric didn’t stay at Xucheng’s house for long. He simply communicated a couple of things to Huangying and Xucheng and then rushed back to the hotel.

Eric stood in front of Lina’s presidential suite. Just as he was about to press the doorbell, he saw the “do not disturb” sign on the door.

Eric hesitated for a moment and ended up deciding not to ring the doorbell. Instead, he took out his phone and sent a text message to Lina, asking her if there was anything she needed him to do.

A few seconds later, he received Lina’s response:[I’m tired, and I’m getting ready to go to bed. Don’t bother me tonight. Take care of anything that happens at the company.]

When he saw Lina’s response, Eric’s nerves finally calmed down. It seemed like Lina still trusted him and didn’t suspect him because of today’s incident. She was still allowing him full authority over company matters.

Eric pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes flickering darkly. He put his phone away and walked to his own room.

Today was Wednesday, and in a couple of days it would be Friday. Once they made it through Friday, they would leave this place and return to Europe.

In the presidential suite, Lina sat on the living room sofa, holding the hair sample that the employee from the DNA testing center had given her.

Lina opened the sealed bag and took out the few strands of hair inside it.

This hair definitely didn’t belong to Xucheng. Earlier in the day, she had realized that everything might not be as it seemed. When she had found an opportunity, she had casually reached out and touched Xucheng’s hair.

The woman’s hair was very stiff and coarse, and it was different from the hair that now lay in Lina’s hand.

This hair definitely did not belong to Xucheng. But it belonged to her daughter.

Then, who exactly was her daughter? How did Xucheng get her daughter’s hair?

Lina had carefully observed Xucheng as the day went on, and she also noticed that every time Xucheng couldn’t make a decision or answer a question, she would subconsciously look at Eric.

Even Huangying would subconsciously do this.

A person’s body language is revealing. Although Xucheng and Huangying maintained their distance from Eric, their glances at him betrayed them.

Which meant that Xucheng and Huangying must have interacted closely with Eric in private.

In the past, Eric thought that Xucheng was Ruan Zeyan’s cousin and had purposely gotten close to her. Afterwards, because he couldn’t learn anything about Ruan Zeyan from Xucheng, he distanced himself from her. Lina could clearly remember that over those couple of days, Xucheng had called Eric daily, but Eric ignored her.

It wasn’t until Eric told Lina that he had news about her daughter that he brought Xucheng to see her. Then, he got Lina’s daughter’s hair...

Lina suddenly grew cold, and her slender fingers tightened around those couple strands of hair. She could not calm down. She did not know who her daughter was or where she was. But what frightened her the most was the methods Xucheng and Eric had used to get ahold of these strands of hair. Was her daughter safe, or was she...

Lina didn’t dare finish the thought. The more she thought about everything, the more frightened she became. Over the past couple of years, she had trusted Eric so much that she left everything to his care.

In other words, he had watched her every more.

And this wasn’t Europe, her sphere of influence!

Lina picked up the phone on the table and dialed Chengchen’s number.

The call was quickly connected, and Chengchen’s somewhat indolent voice drifted through the phone. “Are the test results out?”

“Yes, and the results are unexpected.” Lina’s voice was cold and serious. “Chengchen, I need you to do something for me. It’s related to our daughter. I beg you to help me.”
