Gu Xie raised his head and looked at Gu Yuanli. He felt like something had hit him deep within his heart. He did not know how he should treat the Second Brother in front of him. This Second Brother was too unfamiliar and did not seem like his impression of him.
“I already knew that Qianshu was Mom’s child. I also couldn’t say because I knew she would take Little Shu away and treat her as a puppet. Hence, I rather looked after Little Shu in the dark. I did not expect that she would discover it,” Gu Xie said. “It was I who didn’t protect her and Tong Hua well. The matter regarding Tong Hua’s illness was absolutely not my idea.”
Ye Ling said, “So it was a coincidental matter?”
Gu Yuanli said, “For that batch of water lily, medication would be applied once every week. After the medication was applied, the fragrance would be exceptionally strong. As I became suspicious, I could sense that this point was different. Dad and you all have been living in this kind of fragrance for a long time and would not sense it. This kind of fragrance also did not have any harmful effects on normal people at all. When Tong Hua’s illness was triggered, it happened to be the first day of the application of the medication. It might be a coincidence.”
“I didn’t know that Tong Hua was your son. I thought that he was Doctor Yang’s child.” Gu Yuanli explained.
Hence, there seemed to be an explanation for the matter.
Gu Xie stuck his hand into his hair.
He was in endless misery.
He had known everything. Second Brother had known everything. However, they had helped the enemy for so many years.
“I was anxious to develop Ghost City’s capabilities. I pretended to comply with the Black Rose as I hoped that I could have sufficient power to contend with her one day. I… did not hurt Little Shu and Tong Hua on purpose.”
The only person he had hurt was Fang Hongxiu, who had laid on the bed for many years.
There was complete silence in the room.
This truth was too heavy for Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, and Gu Xie.
The truth had always been in front of them, but they had overlooked it.
This was too cruel.
Gu Xie’s eyes were red. Suddenly, he threw a punch onto the wall. Gu Yuanli’s eyes were filled with misery, but he also heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally said it out. It was not as hard as he had thought, and he seemed to feel a little better.
Fourth Brother said, “Big Brother’s and Third Brother’s deaths… did you have anything to do with it?”
“No!” Gu Yuanli said. “Am I such a crazy and cruel person in your eyes?”
Fourth Brother also regretted asking the question. He should not have asked it this way.
This kind of question was too hurtful.
Ye Ling said, “But you are the original sinner. The Black Rose wanted to take revenge on Ghost City. You knew it in your heart, but you didn’t say. You knew everything but did not give any warning. If you had told Second Old Master Gu earlier, many tragedies could have been avoided.”
“How could I say? When I was young, I made a huge mistake. When I turned around, there was already no way to salvage. I wanted to say it. I even wanted to say it in my dreams. But if I had said, she would be… ” Gu Yuanli’s voice shrank. “I wished so much that my biological mom had really died back then.”
Fourth Brother said, “Second Brother, we are a family. If you had said earlier, Mom would perhaps wake earlier, and Dad would also forgive you. Facing it together as a family was still better than you looking helplessly at Big Brother and Third Brother dying.”
Fifth Brother also nodded his head. When they were young, they were rebellious and rash. It was easy for them to take the wrong route. If they were misled by others, they would indeed do something wrong.
If they did something wrong, they could change, and it would be fine.
What he was afraid of was repeating one’s mistakes and being unable to turn back.
Everyone’s heart was very heavy. It was as if a big mountain was pressing on them.
Gu Xie said, “You… you are too much.”
Besides scolding these words, he seemed to be unable to find other words to say.
Gu Xie’s voice had become hoarse.
