Chapter 650 - Old Guans Death (1/2)

Guan Gao Huan's face morphed into terror. ”Grandpa! Doctors! Grandpa is--!”

The doctors rushed around the bed. In the next moment, urgent orders came one after another as they uselessly made attempts to resuscitate the old man's heart.

The head butler stood close by and watched everything with red eyes full of tears.

Guan Gu Ri was terrified. Despite the doctors' persuasion, he pushed his way to the bed and saw the lifeless figure of the elder.

He broke down and cried heartbreakingly.

”Grandpa!”

The pale Guan Xixin was frozen as he tried to will himself forward. His lips were trembling. He could not even find his voice.

The doctors were trying to revive the old man, but the harsh sounds of machine told everyone that the old man's heart had long stopped. They looked at each other in dismay.

Guan Gao Huan covered his face and pretended to cry.

The other masters of the Guan family branches also called out Old Guan's name mournfully.

The room was chaotic and full of grief.

It was only minutes later when the doctors gave up and sorrowfully declared Old Guan's death.

Guan Gu Ri hugged the old body as he cried like a child.

Guan Xixin collapsed on the floor and tears silently fell from his wide eyes.

Guan Gao Huan... left the room.

No one gave him attention as all people in the room were still shocked with Old Guan's sudden death.

When he arrived inside the bathroom, the door closed and all sounds were isolated.

Guan Gao Huan finally put down his hands and looked up.

His golden eyes were reflected on the mirror. There were no tears on his face nor empathy.

Instead, he laughed in a low tone.

”Ha! Ha! Ha!” He laughed for a long time before the indescribable feeling in his heart dissipated.

The man reflected in the mirror put on his contact lenses and rubbed the flesh under his eyes until they became red. He then sprinkled warm water on his cheeks and lashes. After making himself look like he had cried, he then returned to the chaotic room.

***

That afternoon, news of Old Guan's death spread to the heads of the other families. Shocked, they all abandoned their matters without hesitation and ran to the Guan Mansion.

Xiong Zhi accompanied her rushing grandfather into the car towards his old friend's mansion. Head Butler Zhou Min was driving while Linfeng sat on the co-pilot seat.

The pale Old Xiong had furrowed brows.

”That old man... That old man... Did he really just roll off and left like this?” Old Xiong kept muttering uneasily. He could not believe the news!

As a person who had spies everywhere, he knew that the old man was sick. But he never expected that it could lead to the old man's death.

”Impossible, that old man was still strong like a bull on the last time we met... How can he...?”

He was in denial throughout the ride.
