After returning to First Base, Shen Shi was subjected to over a week of interrogation. Only when it became clear that no useful information could be extracted was he finally released.
Once back, he revisited the documents Uncle Zhong had retrieved. He discovered that the evacuation list for Anxing Orphanage contained not just one Tang Li, but five other children as well. Their surnames were identical, though their given names were quite different. Under the staff column, one name stood out: Tang Xia.
He looked further into the fates of those children. Every one of them had been placed with new adoptive parents; even the Director himself had adopted one and had even gone so far as to change the child's name. Looking closer, he realized that the parents who had adopted them also appeared on the orphanage’s evacuation list from four years ago.
