Chapter 1196: Begin Your Performance(4)
Lina put her phone away and looked at the man strangely. “Is there something you need? If it is about the report, my a.s.sistant has already gone to retrieve it.”
The man shook his head. “There are some things that I would like to tell you. I personally want to talk to you, and I am only representing myself.”
The man’s words made Lina even more confused. “We don’t know each other. What do you want to say to me?”
The man took out a clear bag from the pocket of his lab coat and placed it in front of Lina.
Lina could clearly see a couple of strands of hair in the bag. “What is this?”
“This is the hair sample that your daughter provided for us to do the DNA testing. We only used five strands. These are the ones that are left.”
“What is this? This place sure is interesting. Do you guys want us to reclaim the hair that isn’t used?” Lina was unhappy. “Just throw it out.”
The man nodded. “Most of the samples don’t need to be reclaimed by the person testing, and we also don’t have the responsibility of helping our clients hold onto the samples. I’ve said before that my actions are for personal reasons and do not represent the center.”
As he spoke, the man shoved the hair samples into Lina’s hand.
Lina was a little jittery and felt that this man was being unreasonable and was asking for trouble.
“What exactly do you want?”
“Miss Li, please calm down and hear me out.” The man looked in the direction of the restroom and urgently said, “I’ve seen the woman who came to do the test with you. This was also brought on by her personally. Originally, when I received the sample, I simply treated it as I normally do. However, when I took out the sample, I realized that the length of the hair was different from the woman who you were getting the test with. The hair in the sample is shorter, and it is fine, soft, and has a hint of natural brown; however, the woman got the test with you has darker hair that looks stiffer.”
The man’s words made Lina’s originally fed up, and scornful expression gradually disappear, and her expression became heavy.
“You’re saying that this hair does not belong to Xu Cheng?” Lina asked in a cold voice.
The man nodded. “That is very possible. I’ve conducted many tests throughout the years. People who personally come to do testing in our center often have blood tests. Very few use samples to test. Although both tests would receive the same results, ordinary people trust blood tests more. Also, it is quite rare to see instances where both parties are present yet still use a hair sample. Therefore, I paid close attention when I received the hair sample. In the end, I realized something peculiar.”
Lina’s hand, which was holding the hair samples, suddenly tightened, and she began to a.n.a.lyze the man’s words.
“Why should I believe you? You are only a staff member who conducts tests. Why do you care about my business?” Lina believed that in this world, there was no help that would come without reason, especially since they didn’t even know each other.
“Miss Li, please don’t misunderstand. After conducting tests here for a long time, I have seen many families come in for tests for all sorts of reasons. Science is fair, but it is also the most easily manipulable thing. In the past, I have been taken advantage of through a paternity test. I only wish that you are not deceived.” The man heard the sound of high heels coming from the bathroom. “Of course, you can also pretend that I didn’t say anything. After all, this is your own matter. I’ll be leaving first.”
