Chapter 627 - Linfeng makes a Move (1/2)

Guan Xixn's breath turned heavy.

The feeling where no one believed in him, even his beloved eldest brother, hurt him way more than his injuries did!

”Brother! You don't understand! I am closer to Huan'er than all of you since we were young! I knew him the most! That. Person. Is. Not. Our. Brother! This accident and the other time where you broke your leg, those are all his doing!”

Guan Xixin's protruding veins were visible on his neck and temples.

He was making his stance clear on this.

Guan Gu Ri wanted to reprimand his second brother that he got it wrong, that the guilt he was feeling had eaten him.

But what could he do? This was also his precious brother.

And his precious brother was injured right now.

He must not irritate him further.

Guan Gu Ri closed his eyes. ”Rest well. I will investigate deeply into it as well. If you really managed to get an evidence that he is not our brother, then... I will believe you . I'll personally handle him for doing this to you.”

Guan Gu Ri turned to leave the room.

But he could not believe his second brother's suspicion. He would never belive it.

How could he believe that kind of nonsense, that the Guan Gao Huan he called 'brother' right now was a fake?

If he was a fake, then where have their little brother gone to?

How long have the others changed his brother into another one?

Why was there a fake?

What was the purpose?

Who were the people behind it?

These were all the questions that his second brother did not have an answer about.

All this... was very unrealistic and impossible.

There was just no way.

Guan Gu Ri massaged his forehead.

He should stop entertaining these dangerous thoughts that his second brother were spouting. Even though he also felt somehow distant from his third brother, it was wrong to be suspicious of him after they had previously abandoned him.

After the doctors took care of his wounds, Guan Xixin stood up. He was about to return to the meeting room.

He took a look at the two doctors who did not dare to breathe loudly.

Guan Xixin decided not to warn them about spreading what he and his brother talked about. If rumors spread, then maybe that would be good. Even if his name would be ruined in the process, at least, some people would suspect that bastard.

He would not go down without a fight.

They were only two skilled doctors who were in the room to take care of Guan Xixin.

After the patient left, the doctors went to their own ways.

One of the doctors went to his car and pulled out his phone. He started calling an unknown number.

The call went through.

”...”

”Intel, code G. Three is fake according to Two.”

The doctor then ended the call and started the car.

The official start of the succession trial for the heir of the Guan Family became known in the circles of the upper society by the next day.

The candidates and their factions could gather external help to boost their resources, network, and reputation within the Guan Empire. They could also make deals with the shareholders to gather their votes.

Old Guan had declared that he would not interfere nor favor a specific heir candidate. However, his opinion and vote was the crucial factor for choosing the heir.
