Chapter 461 - The Master of the Shadow Play (1/2)
The nightlife was thriving inside the branch of LG Club.
In a certain exclusive private room of LG club, two people were sitting across each other.
The butler quietly poured wine into the crystalline wine cups of the two men.
”You've been very busy lately, so I did not expect that you would actually agree to meet me at this time,” Guan Gao Huan said with a raised brow as he picked his wine cup and sipped lightly.
Lu Jin was quiet for a moment. ”I did not invite you for random talk. I am checking something. ”
”Oh?”
”Do you know anyone who might know the list?”
”The list?”
”Ten years ago.”
Lu Jin did not finish what he was saying, but Guan Gao Huan immediately understood.
Guan Gao Huan leaned back on the armchair. ”Are you trying to pick up where we left last time?” he asked with a smirk.
Lu Jin would sometimes try to get the truth out of Guan Gao Huan about what happened ten years ago.
He always attempted to sneak attack with a sudden question whenever he was not guarded. It never succeeded though.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jin said otherwise.
”No. I am investigating something related to that. If… someone who knew what happened ten years ago survived, aside from you and father, then that person will be more likely the person I am facing.”
Guan Gao Huan's eyes flashed. Slowly, he said. ”There is someone else who knew what happened?”
”I'm not sure, it's my conjecture. But someone is surely investigating the list.”
Lu Jin knew that an outsider had gotten hold of the list, or else the three separated files that were guarded by the people working for his father would not be hacked.
Someone was targeting them.
Someone had their eyes on them.
Guan Gao Huan twirled his wine cup silently, and spoke after a while.
”I don't know anyone else who could have known. I was just a green horn back then. And… everyone who knew of what happened already died under father's hand. Well, except me.”
Lu Jin stared at Guan Gao Huan. His eyes were unreadable.
A period of silence settled, leaving only the faint classical music playing in the background.
Then Guan Gao Huan stirred. He leaned closer to Lu Jin.
”Well, there's actually one person whom you should be suspicious of.”
Lu Jin paused and his eyes narrowed dangerously at his friend.
Guan Gao Huan did not evade his eyes.
”Your little brother. He was there when 'that' thing happened.”
Silence.
Lu Jin stared at the red liquid inside his crystalline wine cup.
He knew it.
