The Butterfly Effect - Part 1: Lawyer Yang Youyou

As night fell, a gentle evening breeze dispelled the daytime heat of early summer. The bustling CBD remained brightly lit, with air conditioner units humming incessantly, their escaping heat not only raising the outdoor temperature but also amplifying the city's noise and bustle. Peering closer to the deep blue mirrored glass, one could see people still bustling about, clearly indicating that a busy day's work had not ended with the arrival of night.
The streetlights along both sides of the road turned on precisely at the pre-set time. The lampposts, strung together like a long dragon, dispelled the dim night. The sky over big cities is perpetually gray, with only one or two twinkling stars occasionally visible. But people accustomed to the high-speed pace of life focus all their attention on what's in front of them. The orderly prosperity brings them joy and success, but it also weighs down their ambitions and strenuous efforts.
On the wide asphalt road, vehicles of all kinds come and go in a constant stream. Occasionally, a few sharp horns and the deep thud of modified vehicles suddenly cut through the night sky and pierced people's eardrums.
Yang Youyou, dressed in a sharp, tailored suit, a laptop slung over her shoulder, and a stack of folders in her arms, crossed the pedestrian crossing in Xirang. She glanced at her watch; the hands of the clock were approaching midnight. Buses had long since stopped running at this hour, but to give herself some exercise after sitting in the office all day, she dragged her stiff, tired body two extra stops, considering it a little extra exercise.
The traffic lights flashed and changed, and pedestrians still came and went in small groups. Unlike the hurried pace of the daytime, the crowds at night were noticeably more vibrant.
She glanced around at the traffic and hailed a taxi. After getting in, she briefly gave the driver her address before placing the documents on her lap and rubbing her aching temples. The driver remained silent the entire way, and since she had no interest in chatting with strangers, she let the silence in the car continue.
The giant billboard lights, changing colors, were constantly being tossed aside. She looked straight at the flashing neon lights through the car window. The fast-forwarding images in front of her eyes kept assaulting her vision, but they did not affect her briefly blank mind.
She is a 27-year-old lawyer with a Master of Laws degree. She has been working for less than three years and only got the opportunity to specialize in divorce litigation at the beginning of this year. Before becoming a lawyer, she had imagined countless glamorous and eloquent scenarios, but in reality, she realized that wearing out her heels and disappearing on weekends were the norm. A law sets the minimum standards of morality and values in place, but how many people know that the bottom line of morality is not the law? Under the influence of powerful vested interests, it can be far lower than the law. That's why laws are needed to prevent justice in the world from falling to the bottom line of morality.
Many people are willing to portray themselves as law-abiding citizens online, but such people are very likely to be complete scum in real life.
Over the years, she has encountered all sorts of people at work, and in the past six months, she has come across dozens of broken marriages in various forms. Some ended in mediation, while others went to court. After emerging from one divorce case after another, she sometimes can't help but wonder if her understanding of normal romantic and marital relationships is still healthy enough.
Last month, she broke up with her boyfriend of three years. Her boyfriend was her college classmate, with a good personality and many friends. After they started dating, they spent little time together due to their busy work schedules. Naturally, after a month of not being able to contact each other, a more understanding third party appeared in their stable relationship.
That cute girl called her and confronted her. After a brief silence, she didn't waste a single word and sent her ex-boyfriend a message saying "Let's break up." He replied instantly with a simple "Okay," as concise and clear as when they decided to start a relationship. She was depressed for a while, but the pressure of surviving in a big city didn't allow her to wallow in sadness. She was too busy, too busy to even shed a tear, before the wonderful prospect of a promotion and a raise made her forget about the past.
Yang Youyou closed her eyes to rest for a while, and when she opened them again, she had pulled herself out of her chaotic thoughts and returned to her usual capable and efficient self. She recalled the case files she had been involved in investigating in the conference room earlier.
This case is more dramatic than any current domestic power struggle novel. The victim is a beautiful woman who looks to be only in her early thirties. Her exquisite makeup and appropriate clothing immediately reveal that her social class is completely different from those of the hardworking laborers. However, this woman's actual age is ten years older than she appears.
Let's call her 'Ms. A'. Ms. A has been married to her husband for twenty years and has a nineteen-year-old son who is still in college. The incident started last year when Ms. A's son received a blood donation certificate after donating blood at university. This was a trivial matter, but Ms. A discovered while looking through the blood donation certificate that her son's blood type was A.
Type A blood is very common, but that's not the point. The point is, her blood type is O, and her husband's blood type is B. So how could a child with type A blood be hers and her husband's?
Ms. A was a person with an extremely simple and regular life. Because of her wealthy family background, she was a real princess living in a castle. Before she even graduated from university, her parents arranged a blind date for her to meet her husband, who came from a similar family. The two were well-matched, both handsome and beautiful, and their personalities seemed to be similar. After less than a year of dating, they registered their marriage with the full blessings of both sets of parents. The following year, she gave birth to a boy.
She has only ever had her husband, so it's highly likely that the child with blood type A was switched at birth in the hospital. Although Ms. A is naive, she's not stupid. Because the boy looked remarkably like her husband, she didn't rush to tell him after becoming suspicious. Instead, she secretly collected hair samples from herself, her husband, and the other child for a paternity test.
The test results were surprising and terrifying. The boy with type A blood had no blood relation to Ms. A, but the test results showed that the boy was her husband's child.
Ms. A initially tried to believe her husband. She had read many unusual scientific claims, so her first action was to go to the hospital to test whether she was a match for both genes. The results showed she was a normal person. All the evidence pointed to one possibility: her husband had an affair and fathered a child with another woman, who gave birth at the same time as her. Her biological child had been replaced by this illegitimate child.
She wanted to find her child, to find out who switched her child, and to know who had given birth to her husband's illegitimate child... She wanted everyone involved in this incident to pay the price! A woman who had always been protected in an ivory tower quickly calmed down after a brief breakdown.
Nearly twenty years have passed, and even the police might not be able to find a clear answer to this case. Ms. A didn't want to alert the perpetrators before the truth was revealed. In her words, it had been twenty years, she had cried all she could, and she had considered the worst possible outcome, which was either her child being sold and missing, or being switched and killed.
