Chapter 2147 - 2148: The Answer from Dragon Head
We are brothers, real brothers!
Even though Ye Xunhuan had vaguely guessed something, and was even mentally prepared, when Longshou spoke those words, Ye Xunhuan’s heart trembled, and his pupils contracted.
Ye Xunhuan had thought of many possibilities, but he never imagined that Longshou was actually his father’s brother, and a biological one at that.
If everything Longshou said is true, and Longshou really is his father’s biological brother, then in other words, Longshou is Ye Xunhuan’s uncle!
Longshou looked at Ye Xunhuan’s shocked face and sighed slightly: "I know it’s hard for you to believe, but that’s the truth!"
"Your father is my brother, I am your real uncle!"
Upon hearing Longshou’s words again, Ye Xunhuan slowly regained his composure, exhaled a pent-up breath, and then said slowly: "What you said... is it all true?"
Olivia, who was beside him, was also having a hard time believing it. She did not expect that Ye Xunhuan and Longshou were actually uncle and nephew.
Longshou nodded: "Well, according to seniority, you should call Ye Fanchen ’Young Master’!"
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan’s heart felt utterly chaotic. He needed quiet, needed to sort out this complex relationship.
Longshou seemed to realize that Ye Xunhuan’s heart was in turmoil at this moment and needed calm. Hence, he didn’t speak, falling into silence, waiting for Ye Xunhuan to compose himself, while also pondering how to continue the conversation with Ye Xunhuan.
Time ticked by, and the entire room was devoid of conversation, making the atmosphere somewhat stifling.
After an indeterminate amount of time passed, a crisp sound snapped in the silent room.
Ye Xunhuan had lit a cigarette for himself and exhaled a dense cloud of smoke.
After exhaling a dense cloud of smoke, Ye Xunhuan then slowly spoke: "Continue!"
"I know you want to ask me about your father’s name and whereabouts, but these topics are not for me to tell you!" Longshou said softly: "Someone will tell you at that time!"
"Old Chen?"
Though Longshou had already told Ye Xunhuan that he should call Ye Fanchen ’Young Master’, he could not quite accept it, so he addressed him as Old Chen as before!
Longshou understood this and remained silent, calmly saying: "Hmm, there are things he knows much clearer than I do, so it’s most suitable for him to tell you!"
"For now, I can only tell you that your father’s matters are complex, and when you know, I hope you will stay calm!"
Longshou sighed slightly: "Some things are beyond our control, and not what we wish to see."
Ye Xunhuan did not speak immediately, instead sweeping his gaze over Longshou: "What else can you tell me?"
"Actually, there’s very little I can tell you!" Longshou replied frankly to Ye Xunhuan: "I came to you now just to mentally prepare you, so you won’t be caught off guard when you learn everything!"
Longshou’s real intention in seeking Ye Xunhuan was simply to have a good chat and make Ye Xunhuan more aware of things!
Ye Xunhuan took a drag on his cigarette, nonchalantly exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, and slowly said: "I understand, but when will you take me to see Old Chen?"
Ye Xunhuan knew Longshou well, having known him for many years. Ye Xunhuan was aware that if Longshou didn’t want to talk, no matter how you asked, he wouldn’t tell.
Therefore, Ye Xunhuan didn’t probe more but asked when he might see Ye Fanchen.
"Tomorrow!" Longshou said softly: "The King has come here now and knows everything that happened at the Broken Cliff Residence!"
"If I take you there now, the King might find out, creating a lot of unnecessary trouble!"
"Alright!" Ye Xunhuan nodded: "Tomorrow, I’ll go with you to see him. But I hope you’re right and he can tell me everything I want to know."
"I can’t guarantee you’ll know everything, but you’ll definitely find out most of it!" Longshou said softly: "However, I hope you promise me that whatever you learn, you must learn to endure!"
"With your current strength, it’s not enough yet."
Longshou’s words had implications which Ye Xunhuan picked up on: "It looks like things are far more complex than I imagined!"
Longshou nodded, admitting to what Ye Xunhuan said!
"Alright, I promise you, no matter what, I will endure first, and when I have enough strength, I’ll talk about other things!"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan say this, Longshou exhaled a pent-up breath, visibly relaxing.
"Today I’ll stay with you, and when the time comes, I’ll take you away." Longshou said softly: "After you meet your Young Master and know everything, I’ll leave here!"
"Where will you go?"
"Back!" Longshou replied straightforwardly: "Since you rescued your Young Master from the Broken Cliff Residence, the King will definitely suspect me. He’ll surely come looking for me."
"If I stay here, it will only bring trouble to you!"
Longshou said this truthfully; if he stayed in Flower City and the King found out, he’d suspect Longshou and, knowing Ye Xunhuan is there, assume they did it together!
"I had one more question for you!"
"You want to ask me whether your master and those brothers were killed by the King, right?" Longshou seemed to read Ye Xunhuan’s mind and spoke directly.
Ye Xunhuan nodded immediately admitting it.
"You already have the answer in your heart, don’t you?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xunhuan’s heart shivered; it was indeed the King!
The next moment, anger and killing intent filled Ye Xunhuan’s face, and his hands clenched together as if wanting to grind the King into dust.
Ye Xunhuan had suspected the King not once or twice before, and when they were in Miaojiang, the King’s words had implied it, but Ye Xunhuan still sought confirmation, especially from Longshou.
Now he was certain, and it made Ye Xunhuan feel murderous towards the King.
From now on, only one person could live: Ye Xunhuan or the King!
