Chapter 585 - Guan Gao Huans Reason (1/2)

On the next day, huge news hit the Guan family and shook it to its core.

The car carrying Madam Guan and Little Gao Huan was hit by a large truck in a deadly car accident.

Madam Guan died on the spot while protecting Little Gao Huan. The young child survived but remained unresponsive.

***

”The last time I saw Gao Huan was in Madam Guan's funeral. I tried to comfort him but he remained silent. That time, my brother said that he was suffering under trauma. Since then, Gao Huan's condition got worse...”

The three people were listening to Lu Yin Ze's story. They remained silent.

”He was sent abroad to undergo surgery and also to continue his studies there. It seemed the Guan family was hoping that he would move on better in a different environment...”

”After that, I don't have much news about him nor could I visit him, because...”

'Because the same tragedy struck us on the same year. '

Lu Yin Ze could not say the remaining words.

The room fell into a long silence.

After taking a deep breath, Lu Yin Ze spoke again.

”And three years ago, he went to the country after a long time of staying abroad. He... changed a lot, truly different from the child in my memories. I even thought, how can a person change so much? But then...”

Images of a worried young boy and an expressionless young man resurfaced in Lu Yin Ze's mind.

Both had the same face and were the same person.

Yet, they were also drastically different.

Lu Yin Ze's blue eyes dimmed and his long lashes lowered. ”...But I've learned from experience that a person can truly change a lot too. A pure white can turn to utter black.”

The three were silent. For a while, they dared not disturb Lu Yin Ze who was immersed in his memories.

It was Linfeng who broke the silence after an extended period of time.

”I looked into Guan Gao Huan's history. Based on the information my men gathered, he underwent surgery that same year he went abroad and remained hospitalized for another two years. He then continued his studies there. The middle school he entered was not the same as Lu Jin's middle school, and is geographically distant. He could not have possibly met Lu Jin there. So I thought, since the Guan family and the Lu family had a close relationship before, then Lu Jin must have maintained his relationsh.i.p.s with his childhood mates. If that is the case, then it will no wonder why he is friends with Guan Gao Huan. What made me confused though, why is Lu Jin only close to Guan Gao Huan? If you think about it, Guan Gu Ri and Guan Xixin are much closer to Lu Jin's age. However, there was no sign at all that he kept contact with the other Guan children.”

Xiong Zhi and Lu Yin Ze nodded slowly.

Linfeng made a point.

Linfeng continued to express his thoughts. ”Besides, based on your story, it's clear that the one closer to Guan Gao Huan is you, not Lu Jin.”

”Perhaps it is because Lu Jin and Guan Gao Huan had more chances to meet overseas than Lu Yin Ze...?” Tang Yin suggested.

Xiong Zhi shook her head. ”No. According to Linfeng, there was no chance for Lu Jin and Guan Gao Huan to meet given their past circ.u.mstances.”

Lu Yin Ze also spoke slowly. ”Knowing my father, he would keep watch on my brother's contacts and not let him move very freely.”

Xiong Zhi nodded. ”So how did they form this kind of relationship? Unless...”

It was Linfeng who continued Xiong Zhi's words.

”Unless it was Ming Zhi Yi who made them meet.”

Lu Yin Ze frowned and ruminated his thoughts.
