"Do you mean the Autumn Palace?" Military Commander Xu asked in bewilderment.
The elderly lady nodded and answered, "Yes, your daughter is there now. I can't reveal the details."
"Thank you, Master."
"Master, can you tell if she's married now?" Madam Xu probed.
"She's already married and her other half treats her extremely well. However, now that her fate has been altered, there is a direct impact on her marriage, which is now on the rocks…"
"Thank you very much, Master, thank you…"
They hurriedly left the place. Along the way, Madam Xu was jittery and filled with anxiety. "Hubby, hurry and ask to meet the president. We have to draw the blood of all female servants and run a DNA test. We'll definitely find her that way," she said.
Military Commander Xu frowned and answered, "How could it possibly be so easy? Do you know how difficult it would be for Mr. President to give the green light?"
"But we can't just sit back now that we know where she is. No matter what, we must find her and alter her fate."
"I'll head to B City today. Regardless of what the outcome may be, I'll try meeting the president first."
"Alright," Madam Xu consented with a grave expression, at a complete loss of what to do.
She insisted on tagging along when Military Commander Xu headed to B City.
Military Commander Xu could not persuade her and had no choice but to give in.
It was almost evening when they arrived in B City. They decided that it would be more appropriate to visit the president the next morning instead.

As soon as Mei Yangyang reached the entrance of her home, she caught sight of Mei Shuangshuang alighting from a Mercedes-Benz, which pulled up right outside her door.
She glanced inside to see that a blonde-haired hunk was riding in the driver's seat.
Mei Shuangshuang waved him goodbye and said to her sister with a smile, "Did you see that? He's the dreamboat I've just found, he's extremely wealthy."
Mei Yangyang rolled her eyes and said, "He's wealthy just because he drives a Mercedes-Benz?"
Mei Shuangshuang scoffed and entered the house gleefully.
Mei Yangyang followed and closed the door.
"What does that man do?" she asked.
"He helps his father out with their family's real estate business."
"What's his name? I'm going to check if he's a conman," Mei Yangyang asked.
Mei Shuangshuang flew into a rage and snapped, "What do you mean? Why must I let you verify if he's a conman or not? Who do you think you are!?!"
"Fine, I don't care and I won't ask again. Suit yourself." Mei Yangyang told her husband about the matter as soon as she returned to her room.
Long Tianze chuckled and sneered, "Which man is so blind to fancy her?"
"I saw him earlier on. He seems to be rather good-looking. He dyed his hair blonde and drives a Mercedes-Benz."
"No wonder she doesn't fancy the men you introduced her to. She's already found herself another boyfriend. Just wash your hands off of her affairs from now on. She doesn't know any better."
"Yes. I don't wish to care about her anymore either. She can't tell right from wrong at all."
"I read on the news today that your Sis is severely injured…"
"It must be fake. To be honest, I really feel the injustice suffered by Sis," Mei Yangyang remarked, lying on his lap while chewing an apple.
"I feel the injustice for Qingyan too."
"You don't understand. I know exactly what kind of a person my Sis is. She will never sleep with anyone casually, let alone compromise her chastity in order to investigate her mother's incident. She's willing to endure and sacrifice anything except that," said Mei Yangyang.
"Are you that confident?"
"Yes, I'm just that confident. I met her at the Gu family home previously and she looked really haggard. She must've been distraught. Nowadays, most people choose to believe their own eyes and ears but not their heart."
He looked down at her and answered, "If you were put in his shoes, you'd probably react the same way too. Humans are not God, there's no way one can ever handle everything perfectly. Qingyan has gone to visit a psychiatrist because of this matter. He's on the brink of depression."
Mei Yangyang sat up straight and asked, "Is it really that serious? How did it turn out that way?"
"God knows."
"…"

Military Commander and Madam Xu could not fall asleep the entire night and stayed awake until daybreak.
They immediately headed to the Autumn Palace once the sky turned bright.
After having a welcome meal, they proceeded to meet Tuoba Rui.
Tuoba Rui thought that it was a serious matter upon hearing how eagerly they wanted to see him. However, he was extremely taken aback after realizing the truth.
"Your daughter is in the Autumn Palace?"
"Yes. She was abducted soon after she was born. It has been 29 years since then. Please lend me a hand, Mr. President," Military Commander Xu pleaded earnestly.
"In that case, I'm willing to give you a helping hand. Military Commander Xu, you've done your best to serve the country all these years. A little help from me is nothing," Tuoba Rui agreed without hesitation, which was to the surprise of both of them.
They initially thought that it would require a lot of effort to persuade Tuoba Rui. Unlike what they had expected, the latter had agreed right away.
"Thank you so much, Mr. President," they thanked him agitatedly.
"Don't mention it." Tuoba Rui summoned his secretary and instructed, "Retrieve the blood samples of all the females in the palace, aged 20 to 40 years old. Then, send the samples to the DNA genetic database center and carry out matches with Commander and Madam Xu."
"Yes."
"The results will probably need some time to process, so please wait patiently. I'll inform you immediately once the results are out," said Tuoba Rui.
"Alright, thank you so much," Madam Xu thanked profusely in agitation.
Tuoba Rui stood by the window after they left.
The reason why he agreed to their request was not only because of what Military Commander Xu had done for the country over the years but also because he could empathize with how they felt, being separated from their daughter.
However, what set him apart from them was the fact that he knew about his daughter's current living situation, though he could not acknowledge her.
He initially thought that he could finally see her in the flesh on his son's wedding day. Yet, she was unable to attend the wedding.
Good that she wasn't, though.
In that case, he would not have to see that face of hers that resembled her mother's greatly.
That was not too bad of an idea.
"What's on your mind?" Shi Xiaoyu asked as she entered the room.
Tuoba Rui turned around and answered, "Nothing much."
"Military Commander Xu and his wife came by so early in the morning. Was there something urgent?"
"Just a trivial matter. Has reconstruction for Danxue's mansion begun?" he answered calmly.
"They began works yesterday."
He picked up the teacup to take a few sips of tea before saying, "I'm going out to take a walk."
"Shall I accompany you?" Shi Xiaoyu suggested.
"There's no need for that," he declined.
Shi Xiaoyu was slightly disappointed in his answer. She decided to visit her son's mansion since she did not wish to remain in her room.
She caught sight of Tuoba Rui as soon as she arrived.
"Why did you follow me here?" Tuoba Rui questioned with a frown.
"I'm here to visit my son and daughter. How is that following you?"
He turned around and continued to walk forward.
Tuoba Danxue and Tuoba Gucheng were in the midst of a game of chess in the living room.
Upon sight of their parents, they immediately stopped playing.
"Not bad," Tuoba Rui remarked as he took a seat.
"Father, Mother, what brings you here?" Tuoba Gucheng asked.
"Can't we visit you even when nothing has happened? You're getting married very soon. Why haven't you changed the furniture and renovated your place yet?" Tuoba Rui asked with raised brows.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Do you mean the Autumn Palace?" Military Commander Xu asked in bewilderment.
The elderly lady nodded and answered, "Yes, your daughter is there now. I can't reveal the details."
"Thank you, Master."
"Master, can you tell if she's married now?" Madam Xu probed.
