To Love You Again

Chapter 660 - Who was helping Guan Xixin?

Without the evidence, the only people who could know his identity were his death servants, Butler Qian, Lu Jin, and Ming Zhi Yi.

A ridiculous thought suddenly occurred to Guan Gao Huan.

Could it be...

His father leaked the information to Guan Xixin?

The big day was just around the corner. His father was against him proving himself in the first place.

Guan Gao Huan paused, then shook his head decisively.

No.

He could understand that his unfathomable master might try to take him down when he was at the highest point of his success, but not like this, when his fake identity would be exposed.

Getting his identity exposed was the same as having the man's mask peeled by a layer.

These could be traced back to him, Ming Zhi Yi.

Ming Zhi Yi was definitely not the type to risk himself just to get Gunan to learn the lesson that he wanted to teach, that Gunan would never amount to anything big without Ming Zhi Yi's help.

So this was undoubtedly the work of others. Someone else must be helping Guan Xixin.

The Guan Xixin who tried to get on his way since long ago could not do this alone.

"Master, we are here."

Guan Gao Huan got out of the car.

Stepping out, he saw a familiar car in the distance. His anxious heart slightly eased.

Guan Gao Huan ran to the private elevator.

When Guan Gao Huan came up to their room, he saw the man whom he always depended on and trusted sitting calmly on the couch.

Guan Gao Huan... No, Gunan's heart that was filled with anxiety erupted at this moment.

As if he had finally found a pillar to lean on, his steps were desperate as he approached Lu Jin.

"Ah Jin, brother!"

Lu Jin put down the tablet. His face was still expressionless.

"You have made a mess, Gunan."

As expected, Lu Jin would get the wind of it. Even though the news just came out for a few minutes and was deleted after, a lot of people still heard of it and would definitely be suspicious of it.

Gunan's heart was anxious.

"I am cleaning it up right now. It's unfortunate that I let my guard down, but everything is handled now." He then looked at Lu Jin. His eyes contained anxiousness. "Did father get news of it already? Have you heard anything?"

Lu Jin stared at his friend and sighed. His pitch black eyes held worry as he watched his closest friend who was obviously in disarray at this moment.

"He flew to another country a few days ago. But since he got eyes and ears everywhere, he will get wind of it soon."

Gunan trembled, paced around, and muttered, "No... no! That can't happen!"

Father should not hear about it!

"You know your father's people and his spies, don't you? Please help me with this matter once and stop them from reporting this to father. You know what father will do once he finds out that I made a mess just before the important event!"

Lu Jin patted Gunan. "I already did that a few minutes ago. I told them to delay it as much as they can. I'm already forcing them to take risks and owe them a favor."

"Thank you, Ah Jin..."

"Don't be too happy yet. There are still a few spies whom father did not tell me about. I am sure that they will report this to father. The only thing we can do now is to buy time."

Gunan paled.

In the end, his master would still know of it!

He sat down weakly and held his head.

It was silent for a moment.

Gunan closed his eyes tightly.

"What should I do? What if father destroys everything I worked hard for! Is there really no way to track down father's other spies?"

Gunan was desperate.

If he could, he would order to kill those spies that might report to his father. Those were the hardest to deal with. But the problem was they did not know where are the other spies are.

Gunan was more afraid of Ming Zhi Yi than people outside suspecting him of his identity.

His identity could be covered up at anytime. But his father and master's reaction about this would be much more terrible.

Maybe he should present the two Guan heads to make amends to his father? Or kill that Old Lu with his own hands to ease his father's anger when Gunan failed to get either the Guan Empire or the Xiong Empire, after all the plans they did?

Lu Jin could feel that Gunan's gears were working fast. He felt Gunan's killing intent. As his brother, he knew what kind of dangerous thoughts Gunan was having right now.

"Gunan, calm down. Don't make rash actions. If it comes down to it, I will help you plead with father. For now, we must know who is behind this, so when father asked later, we have answers."

Lu Jin knew Ming Zhi Yi.

If they could not provide him a good answer, then that man would truly be mad.

Gunan calmed down.

Right, Lu Jin was here. Lu Jin was the son of that man. His word should still be counted, right?

In his desperation, Gunan forgot the fact that Lu Jin was also at the mercy of his own father. But his jittery mind chose to believe in Lu Jin.

"Alright, I'll trust you. The man behind this incident is no doubt Guan Xixin."

"Guan Xixin? How sure are you?"

"Very sure. That man suspected me ever since. He had no proof so no one believed him, but he never gave up. Guan Xixin was the person most against having me win the succession battle, but earlier, he oddly did not attend. Then the news came."

"How come he got it now? I saw the news. The evidence presented to the media are real and holds a lot of value. It is as if he planted a mole at that time and got the evidences from that source."

"I am not sure, too. I sent my people to watch the hospital. I am sure that Guan Gu Ri would look? for the details of it. But I think Guan Xixin is not the only one who is behind this. He might be suspicious of me, but he always failed since he had no proof. If he had one before, he would definitely have used it immediately. So this evidence must be recently gained."

"...."

Lu Jin's eyebrows moved.

Recently...

A person who got the evidence which happened to be what Guan Xixin was looking for... Who happened to help the man just on the right timing when Guan Gao Huan was about to get the Guan Empire...

A figure suddenly entered his mind.

Lu Jin's face became solemn. He looked at Gunan.

"Do you have any suspicions on who could have collaborated with Guan Xixin?"

Gunan spoke while taking off his contact lenses. With Lu Jin around, he recovered his calm mind.

"A person who has that power to dig what I buried... nothing comes to mind. "

Lu Jin continued. "What of a person who recently helped Guan Xixin? Is there someone very capable like that?"

Gunan's eyes flashed with recognition.

It did ring a bell.

"SC has been helping Guan Xixin during these two months of fighting over the succession to screw me over. I had bad blood with Linfeng." He frowned. "But I don't think he had the power to do that, nor did he have a motive to really dig into my secrets so deeply, even if we are competitors. We might want to kill each other, but there's no need to dig that deeper. What does he know about the Guan's internal conflict anyway? It must be another person."

Lu Jin's eyes slowly lowered.

Was it really like that?

Why couldn't he let go of that incident when the man spied on him with Ethan a few months ago?

For Lu Jin, Zhou Linfeng had the capability and power to burrow deep down and excavate all of their dirty secrets.

He doesn't have proof but his instinct tells him that Zhou Linfeng was related to this matter.
