Chapter 636 - Gunan? (1/2)
Gunan?
Linfeng thought the old man was calling him by that name.
He turned to the old man, his face softening. ”What is it, grandfather? Are you hungry?”
”I am not your grandfather, but your father, Ben!” The old man complained in a raspy and wizened voice.
Doctor Ben was one of the doctors who died in those 'accidents', and was Doctor Jame's father's younger colleague.
Linfeng simply allowed the old man to call him Ben. ”...I apologize.... Father.”
The old man then took another peek on Linfeng's phone again and narrowed his eyes. His murky eyes suddenly seemed sharp.
”He really is... Without a doubt! That's Gunan, right? When did Gunan become so tall?”
Oh, so it wasn't him he was calling Gunan.
”Gunan?”
”Yes, he looked exactly like Gunan! That scrawny little kid whom your boss always brought around the hospital, Ben.”
Linfeng narrowed his eyes. He looked down at the picture on the screen of his phone.
He was reading an article with Guan Gao Huan's picture posted in it. The man was smiling at the camera while shaking hands with one of the investors he brought in to Guan Empire.
Gunan....?
Something inside Linfeng stirred.
It was as if the millions of cells coursing within his body was slowly being stirred to life. His senses were suddenly magnified.
His instincts were telling him to probe more.
”...Doctor Ben's boss?” Linfeng muttered. Doctor Ben's boss means a man related to Guan Gao Huan or the person who brought the fake Guan Gao Huan.
Linfeng's eyes shined. He felt like he touched the surface of the hidden truth. ”Can you tell me who is my boss? Can you describe him for me? And where did this kid come from?”
Unexpectedly, the old man cried loudly. ”Ben! I told you not to accept dirty money! See what happened to you! Why won't you listen to your father?”
Linfeng's heart thumped. ”What exactly happened, father?”
However, after crying for a while, the old man held Linfeng's hand and sniffled. ”I brought your favorite pie. Here, eat some. It will be good after taking your exams.” The old man then looked left and right tremblingly. ”Ah! Where's the pie? I know I brought it here! Your mother cooked that for you. It's your favorite beef and potato filling...”
The wizened voice droned on, calling Linfeng his son 'Ben' again and again.
Linfeng was disappointed in his heart. He tried to probe again and showed the picture of Guan Gao Huan to the old man.
”You called him Gunan. Who exactly is this Gunan?”
The old man looked at the picture confusedly. ”Gunan? Is that your friend? You better finish off studying before going out drinking with your friends!”
Linfeng smiled patiently. He tried to probe again but the old man seemed to not remember it anymore. Finally, after trying multiple times, he received a message from his men.
They found something.
