When the current video finished playing, the next one automatic played. This ti, it was a monologue of Flynn.
He smiled at the cara but unlike the usual grimace that usually joyously laced his lips, this ti he looked like he was hiding his sadness behind that handso smile. "If you got to this video, you must have watched the others. You must have found the answers to many puzzles."
Lanni nodded even though she knew that he would not see her, while Luna stared blankly at the screen. It was unsure whether she could hear a word.
"I don’t know how long I’m going to stay alive as I found out things I shouldn’t. Just like your second uncle, my days are numbered now. I need to ask you for a favor."
Luna jolted and listened carefully when she heard this. Her lips trembled as she asked," Just like Second Uncle?"
Lanni suddenly understood. "Mum’s brother!"
Now that they recalled it, Li Yuming had once ntioned that Xia Hanchen was behind their maternal uncle’s death, because the latter had found out shocking secrets about him. At the ti, they had thought she was bluffing and forcibly making up reasons to prevent Lanni from going to save her father from Galaxis.
Thinking up to this point, Lanni burst into laughter. "Wait. Why did I need to save him from Galaxis? He is the boss... aning that’s his territory. How could he have been forcefully kidnapped?"
Luna facepald when she realized what was going on. "He tricked us. He made up the whole ’kidnapping’ charade to make you work for him." Luna almost couldn’t contain her anger. At the ti, Lanni had used up all her effort and when she was done, the boss of Galaxis had wanted to make her continue working for him. It was only when Xiehan made a deal with Flynn that they let her off. Who would have thought that the person behind it all was Xia Hanchen himself?
They had missed out a huge part of the video so they rewinded it.
"Once you find out the truth, pretend you know nothing. Until you are strong enough, don’t try to counter him. Or else what happened on the last night you were with your Senior Yang might just happen again." Flynn concluded and the screen turned black.
Lanni felt her mind explode when she thought back to his last words. What happened on the last night when she was with Senior Yang? The accident more than a year ago, the one that put her in a coma for six months?!
If this was before, she would have denied it, and found every reason to claim that her father would never have anything to do with it. However, she had clearly heard him from the video. He had agreed with Li Xiyan that she deserved what had happened, and it was just not the right ti for her to die because he still needed to use her.
She couldn’t believe it. The person they had been looking for was right beside them. All along, they thought of him as the person who cared about them the most when in reality, he hated them so much in secret...
Although she was disheartened, she gently patted her sister who looked like the world had just collapsed on her. "Luna, don’t be upset. Betrayals happen."
Although that was what she said, she knew just how much it hurt deep down. No matter who betrayed her, it would never amount to this kind of pain. It was agonizing, numbing and cold enough to send one to the shackles of despair.
Luna sucked in a breath when she thought about everything that had happened. "You had already left his side but I ca to find you. I looked for you myself and brought you back close to him... I accidentally helped him out. I’m so sorry, Lanni."
"You didn’t know. It was not your fault." Lanni hugged her.
No matter how hurt they were, they had to get up and find a way out of this. Before they could gather their thoughts, Lanni’s phone rang and the screen displayed [Dad
