Chapter 697 - The truth behind the incident (1/2)

”....”

Lu Jin was stunned at Gunan's words.

”Always promising things that he can't do right. Always pitying others before himself. Lu Jin, when will you change?”

”What are you--”

”Can you really get me out of here? Can you really help me get back what I lost? Univ One, the Guan Empire, the surname Gunan. Can you get them all back for me?” Gunan's eyes were red.

”....”

Lu Jin fell quiet.

He could not tell Gunan about Xiong Zhi and Linfeng's involvement.

With the involvement of those two people, Gunan could never get back all those things.

Lu Jin knew that if he told Gunan about this, his friend would surely take revenge on those people.

If not for the current situation, Lu Jin had no qualms about his friend taking revenge. He was also selfish, he would have supported his friend without hesitation.

He might be keeping the couple's interference from his father, but that was because of his own reason.

However, under the current scenario, if Gunan tried to take revenge, Gunan would just destroy himself even more.

Lu Jin did not want to see that. He did not want Gunan to continue heading on this path of destruction anymore.

He decided to convince Gunan today to come with him and hide Gunan from his father, to make it appear in everyone's eyes that Gunan had died in an accident or struggle on the way to the trial.

Yet based on what he was seeing, Gunan's heart was still set on those 'unreachable' goals.

Lu Jin paused. He suddenly remembered their last fight.

Gunan was right after all.

Lu Jin himself never trusted that Gunan would achieve those things from the very start.

”Hah. Your silence always means 'no'. You can't get it back for me.”

Gunan gripped his hair and stared at the walls.

If even Lu Jin gave up, then who could help him?

”Tell me, Ah Jin. Is there really no other way?”

Lu Jin sighed. ”Gunan, those things will only hold you down. I have a plan. I can take you out of here and bring you to some place away from father. I know that you are afraid of the consequences if father discovers, but--”

”Father already knows.”

”...!”

Lu Jin was stunned. Then he narrowed his eyes. His whole aura became colder.

So this was the reason why Gunan was like this.

”How did he get hold of you?”

”It doesn't matter how. Father does not want me as Gao Huan anymore. I'll be forever Gunan. Do you know what that means?”

Lu Jin was silent.
