Chapter 201 - Two Birth Certificates
"What? Why not?" Grandpa retorted.
Shoving her phone aside, Ning got up and said, "I think we should go and accompany Yichan, he is alone."
"But we haven't figured out how to lure Yichan to—"
Cutting him off, she explained, "Grandpa I think I should just wait for Yichan to be ready, a baby is something that we both should be willingly ready for and I don't want to pressure him with anything."
"If you don't pressure him, he might never be ready to have one," he snapped.
Placing her hand on his shoulder, she sighed, "Okay, I will talk to him but promise me that you won't say or do anything, it's something that Yi and I should solve on our own."
Helplessly shaking his head, he reluctantly agreed, "Alright, I wont say or do anything. You both are mature enough to handle your own problems so I'll just let it be."
Raising her brows, she inquired, "Really? So you are agreeing with me? You are really backing off for real?" Based on how grandpa Yang's character was, it was very hard to believe that he would really not do anything about the whole thing.
Shrugging his shoulders, he remarked, "What? You told me to back off and I am doing that, now how is that suspicious?" Pausing for a while, he added, "I promise not to get involved in this and I will not tell Yichan anything."
"Okay if you say so, I trust you."
"Great now why don't you go inside and I'll be right there after making a phone call," Grandpa smiled.
"Don't stay out for too long, it's quite chilly today," Ning said before walking out of the garden.
After she was nowhere to be seen, grandpa Yang quickly fished out his phone from his pocket and called his dearest friend.
"Hello Quan, I have news," he beamed.
"What is it? Is it something spicy? Do I need to get some popcorn?" grandpa Mo excitedly asked.
"I don't know about popcorn but you might want to get a stick to thrash your grandson," grandpa Yang answered, he had promised Ning not to get involved and tell Yichan anything but she never told him that he couldn't tell his best friend about it.
Grandpa Mo frowned and inquired, "What do you mean and who are you talking about? Yichan?"
"Yes." Grinning from ear to ear, he explained the entire situation to grandpa Mo.
Gritting his teeth, grandpa Mo snapped, "That brat— don't worry Bojin, I'll take care of it."
….
Inside the mansion.
Looking at his white shirt which had turned of-white, Ning sighed, "This is why I told you dont to wear white."
Dusting his shoulders, he explained, "I found a reel of negative photographs but I don't know if that is what we are looking for."
"Did you find anything else?"
Keeping quiet for quite some time, he reluctantly shook his head, "No I didn't, everything was so dusty and messed up down there but I somehow managed to find only the reel."
Pursing her lips, she stuttered, "I never go down because it's very dark, it's Uncle Hoshen who cleans the basements every now and then."
"So you have never stepped foot into the basement?" he inquired.
Ning shook her head and sighed, "You know that I stay far away from dark places Yi and the lightning there is so dim, I just freak out whenever I am even near to that place."
"Alright, there is no need for you to go there now so stop worrying. I have already kept the reel inside the car, Jason will come here to fetch it soon and we will get the negatives by tomorrow." Yichan was more curious than she was to see the photographs and run a background check on everything that he had managed to acquire from the basement.
"Alright, let's have dinner now," Grandpa Yang excitedly said before gesturing the helper to serve the food for them.
…
While having dinner, Ning reported, "Grandpa I can't find my birth certificate anywhere so I assume that I might have misplaced it when I was switching places. I need it for something so do you know anyone from the hospital whom I can contact?"
"I—"
Cutting grandpa Yang off, Yichan answered, "Why didn't you tell me this before honey? You don't have to trouble grandpa for such a small matter, Muchan can easily help us. Which hospital were you born in?"
Before Ning could say anything, grandpa Yang butted in. "There is no need to trouble anyone for that, I already have an extra copy of your birth certificates and all the other documents. Finish your food first, I'll ask Hoshen to get it for you."

Midnight.
"Woah this looks so real boss, are you sure that it's fake?" Jason curiously inquired.
Taking the birth certificate from Jason's hand, Muchan added, "The old men have surely worked too hard to make it look so real."
Taking out his phone, Yichan showed him the other one which had Weilong's name on it. "I don't think we need a DNA test now.'
"This—Where did you get this from?" Muchan snapped.
Pinching his brows, Yichan sighed, "I got it from the basement where Grandpa Yang keeps all the old stuff."
Writing down the hospital's name, Jason asked, "It's such an important document so why would he keep it in such a vulnerable place?"
"Because he knows that Ning is scared of dark and closed places and she would never go down there alone."
"Wow, this is actually a really nice idea and move. I mean, hiding it somewhere where he knows she would never go." Pausing for a while, Muchan added, "You were talking about some photograph, where is it?"
Opening his laptop, Jason answered, "It should be here soon and I am looking for the hospital which is mentioned in the other birth certificate."
"Where is it?"
Passing Yichan his laptop, he replied, "It's somewhere in the outskirts of the country, a small town called Kariba."
