Chapter 667 - Detaining Who? (1/2)

Guan Gu Ri returned to the room with a new pair of pants. None of what happened in the changing room could be seen on his face.

If the man in front of him could put on a mask, he could wear one too.

”I'm sorry for that farce, brother. My health has been too weak since grandfather's funeral.”

Guan Gao Huan waved his hand to dismiss the earlier incident. ”It's alright, brother. Are you alright?”

”The tea is not that hot so I did not get burned.”

”That's good to hear. Anyway, brother, I heard that second brother is here. Where is he?” Guan Gao Huan asked. He acted nonchalant but his deep eyes concentrated on Guan Gu Ri and his answer.

Guan Gu Ri stiffened.

Now he understood why this man came here to Guan Empire after running away yesterday.

It was not to look after the Guan Empire, but to catch his second brother.

Because Guan Xixin was the one who revealed his identity to the media, the fake Guan Gao Huan must be desperate to come after his second brother.

Guan Gu Ri's eyes became cold.

He hid his contempt. Like hell would he tell this man where his second brother was.

His gentle face contained worry. ”Our brother Xixin... He visited me yesterday and told me those ridiculous things again. But he walked out after I scolded him for causing a ruckus. I think he still has not recovered from the grief yet.” Then Guan Gu Ri showed an expression of surprise and innocently asked, ”By the way, how did you know that Xixin came here? We have been discreet and cautious because many people are watching us now.”

Guan Gao Huan shrugged. ”I heard it from someone in the board of directors. He saw second brother come here in the afternoon. Did second brother say where he would stay? He is not in his mansion.”

Guan Gu Ri's eyes lowered.

He had secretly sent home the directors from the board yesterday and told them to keep their locations secret to avoid the enemies' eyes. Their secretaries and assistants were left to manage their offices though. That might have lulled the others to think that the directors were in.

It looked like this fake Guan Gao Huan had his own spies here. Their attention must have been focused on Guan Xixin's presence in the chairman's office and thus did not notice this small detail.

Guan Gu Ri's heart was cold.

It was a good thing that he did not allow Guan Xixin to go outside. Or else, harm might have already befallen his dear brother.

He shook his head. ”I'm not sure. Xixin did not tell me where he would go. I tried to stop him but he doesn't listen to me anymore.” He sighed. ”Anyway, why are you looking for second brother? Don't tell me you believe the nonsense that he is the one behind the news. Xixin might have some issues with you on winning the succession, but he won't harm nor bring down the Guan Empire, no matter what.”

Ha, this idiot. Guan Gao Huan scoffed.

”Eldest brother, you don't know how far a distance a person's hatred could drive him to. Second brother has lost his wits. He will not stop unless he brings us down. We must find him immediately and put a stop to his actions before he does something that he will regret for all his life.”

Guan Gu Ri clenched his fist.

Hate, huh? That's true. Hate could really make a person change.

”I understand that, brother.” Guan Gu Ri said meaningfully. ”But what will we do after we get Xixin? Do you intend to detain him?”

Guan Gao Huan nodded, then shook his head.
