After she finished speaking, He Xiyan handed the jade pendant to the beautiful host of the program.

The host displayed the pendant to the spectators on set and to those who were watching television and also asked the camera to do several close up shots.

She said, “To those who are watching on television, if you have adopted a girl and if she was wearing a similar pendant, or if you have seen a little girl wearing this pendant, please contact us as soon as possible or Mrs. Ye who is here with me today. Our contact details will be displayed on the screen below. Mrs. Ye has promised to give a million dollars to anyone who would be able to provide any leads.”

Then, the program broadcasted several photographs of He Yiyi between the ages of one to one and a half years old. The girl in the photograph seemed cute and lively and smiled toothily at the camera.

“These are photographs of your younger sister, right?” the host asked as she took these old photographs from He Xiyan. It was obvious that these photographs were taken more than twenty years ago and two photographs were already yellowed with age.

He Xiyan nodded and said, “Yes, these photographs were taken when Yiyi was around a year old. I don’t know how she looks like now that she’s all grown up but I really hope that I’d be able to find her.”

She turned her face away at that point.

Ye Hao quickly dug out a tissue and wiped the tears from his wife’s face, then wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

The program was broadcast live on television and Internet livestream, so this program managed to reach many audience members and netizens. Several media outlets also released articles extremely quickly.

The Internet was all abuzz and many netizens also uploaded photographs of various pendants that looked similar to the jade pendant on the program.

Many girls even took selfies with similar-looking pendants, uploaded them to the Internet and claimed that they were He Yiyi.

In less than ten minutes, there were more than a hundred young women who claimed that they were He Yiyi and many people also posted on Weibo and WeChat, claiming that they had once seen He Yiyi.

At the same time, in a middle-cla.s.s ward of Ye City, a retired old woman was watching the livestream from the 28th floor of the 7th block.

She wore a pair of reading gla.s.ses and watched the screen intently. She even saved the photograph that was released via the program into her own phone.

She was already 68 years old this year and had adopted a daughter who was known as Shu Man. Her husband pa.s.sed away the year before last, so mother and daughter were living together in the same house.

“Man Man, could you come out for a bit?” the old woman called for her daughter. At 68 years of age, she wasn’t considered extremely old but her hair was completely white and her face was full of wrinkles, so she looked around 80 years of age.

She had contracted diabetes, high-blood pressure and rheumatism. Her health had been failing over the past few years, so she had to take a c.o.c.ktail of medication every day.

Shu Man quickly set aside the terrible thesis that her student had submitted when she heard her mother calling for her.

“What’s wrong Mum…” Shu Man asked as she sat beside her mother and patted her mother’s shoulder. Nothing was more important to her than her mother’s health.

The elderly woman pointed at the program that was airing on screen and turned to look at her adopted daughter who was 42 years younger than her. She had her uterus removed due to a malignant cyst when she was 30 years old and this operation rendered her infertile. She had only adopted her daughter when she was 46 years old.

“Look, doesn’t the girl on television look like you?” The elderly woman asked as she pointed at He Xiyan.

He Xiyan was currently giving some basic details of what happened when her younger sister He Yiyi had gone missing.
