To Love You Again

Chapter 635 - Unmasking Guan Gao Huan\'s identity (III)

Linfeng looked at Doctor James with inexplicable eyes. "Your father must probably know back then that he will... he will..." He stopped his word as he grieved and sighed.

Doctor James\' eyes were red.

He had not talked to anyone about this yet, aside from when his mouth slipped while drinking with his friend.

Revisiting the memories pulled back his grievances to the surface.

Linfeng looked at him bitterly. "My father is now leaving some things to me to protect myself... I don\'t know if your father did the same, but I feel unwilling to accept it... It\'s almost like a last will..."

Doctor James nodded gravely. "My father did the same. When two of his colleagues died, he began to be suspicious even though the police claimed that they were accidents. So he tried to gather anything he could find to threaten those people back. But in the end..."

Linfeng\'s eyes flashed and Doctor Lee\'s ears perked up.

Evidence!

The deceased man gathered evidence!

Doctor James cried. "In the end, he still died..."

Doctor Lee slapped the table angrily. "Those evil bastards!"

He then glanced at Linfeng fleetingly.

The \'distressed\' and \'worried\' Linfeng took the cue.

"James, I... I am so sorry for what happened to you. Just why did those evil people keep on doing this?"

His eyes though, if one looked closely, remained indifferent.

Then he feigned confusion. "Wait, since you have those, why not approach the police? Why not do something about it? If it were me... No, I hope it will never happen...."

"I... I was afraid... I got scared. After he died, some people came looking for him. I acted like I don\'t know anything about it. They killed people, for god\'s sake! That was the best action I could think of. It\'s a shame I\'ll bring for the rest of our lives, but... At least I will live on. I advise that you do the same too, for your own safety."

Linfeng put down his hands. "Like you, I also have my father\'s evidence with me. But I want to use it against those people! Right now, my father is living in a nightmare, constantly being threatened, constantly being chased. I don\'t want to just let those people do as they wish!"

Doctor James shook his head decisively and persuaded Linfeng to think twice. "But the police cannot be trusted! I indeed have done something cowardly, but it kept me and my sister alive! Do you still want to keep your life?"

Linfeng stiffened as if shocked. Weakly, he murmured. "....Then that\'s it...? There\'s nothing I can do...? What about my father....? What about our father\'s effort in getting those evidences...?"

"But you can still live!"

"Then what did you do to the evidences? You just buried or burned them?"

Linfeng\'s eyes shimmered darkly.

What happened to the evidence? Where was it?

All this act\'s purpose was to find the answer for this.

Doctor James smiled wearily. "No... To burn them, I am unwilling... It is kept somewhere safe. I am afraid that it will be stolen so I always kept an eye on it. I advise you to do the same. Do not be impulsive, life is what matters."

Doctor Lee and Linfeng looked furtively at each other.

They finally confirmed it.

Linfeng laughed \'bitterly\'. "I know you\'re right, it seems I should really think it through and not act recklessly. I should hide it somewhere too. But where is safe?"

Where? Where did you hide it!

This question was already dangerously implicit.

Fortunately, the other did not notice.

Doctor James advised. "Do not hide it in your house. Just choose for a place where you can frequently check on it without getting people\'s suspicion."

Linfeng almost smiled, but his solemn expression did not betray him. He was quiet as if battling internally, before he massaged his head like he gave up.

"....I understand, I will keep that in mind."

After they exchanged more words of comfort and complaints, the time for Doctor Lee\'s and Doctor James\' shifts arrived. Soon, they stood up, patted Linfeng\'s shoulders, and left the desolate man behind.

Only silence remained.

All emotions on his face disappeared.

Later, his face slowly broke into a cold smile.

The existence of an evidence that not even Guan Gao Huan knew of.

If they got their hands on it, Linfeng was sure that it would cause Guan Gao Huan\'s destruction.

He chuckled.

Going through this play gave him a lot more information than when asking his subordinates directly.

It was worth it!

The ability to hide and show various kinds of faces to match the masters\' mood. The years of polishing this aspect during butler training was not wasted at all.

Ding.

Doctor Lee: [Doctor James frequent a lot on these three places. But I think you ought to check primarily the last place on the list, because he always went there every week.]

Linfeng replied.

[Good job.]

He stood up and called for his driver.

"Let\'s go to the home for the elderly in XXX Hills."

After he left, his subordinates showed up and settled the arrangements with the coffee shop. The maintenance placard outside was removed, and the previous waiter and cashier switched with the staff of the coffee shop.

Soon, the coffee shop was slowly filled with people, bustling as it usually was, as if the earlier scene never happened.

*****

Linfeng prepared to go to the home for the elderly in XX Hills that was listed in the reports which Doctor Lee had sent.

Doctor James was close to one of the elders in the foundation. Even though they were not blood related, the doctor treated the elder as his grandfather, because this elder was the bereaved father of a deceased junior colleague of Doctor James\'s father.

Linfeng changed his clothes and prepared a fake identification card. His facial features were also concealed to look like a different person. He could have just left this task to his subordinates, however, he wanted to know the details for himself.

After a bit of preparation, Linfeng and his men entered the nursing home as university student volunteers.

Linfeng subtly spent time with the elder and brought him to the garden, while his two men went to the room and searched for anything that Doctor James might have hidden.

The elder had dementia and kept calling Linfeng as his deceased son. He was a hearty old man before, but after his son\'s sudden death, his mental state went downhill. There were times when his old memories overlapped with the present, and there were even rarer times when his mind seemed clear.

Linfeng sat beside the old man while he checked the recent news about the Guan family on his phone.

The competition was getting intense. Since he went abroad to investigate Guan Gao Huan\'s identity, Xiong Zhi was the one who was helping Guan Xixin right now.

At this moment, Linfeng was reading Guan Gao Huan\'s progress with cold eyes. Gua Gao Huan had just signed a new batch of investors for the upcoming expansion project of Univ One.

"Gunan?"

The old man who was beside him stared at the image of a man on his phone.
