To Love You Again-Chapter 667 - Detaining Who?

Guan Gu Ri returned to the room with a new pair of pants. None of what happened in the changing room could be seen on his face.

If the man in front of him could put on a mask, he could wear one too.

"I'm sorry for that farce, brother. My health has been too weak since grandfather's funeral."

Guan Gao Huan waved his hand to dismiss the earlier incident. "It's alright, brother. Are you alright?"

"The tea is not that hot so I did not get burned."

"That's good to hear. Anyway, brother, I heard that second brother is here. Where is he?" Guan Gao Huan asked. He acted nonchalant but his deep eyes concentrated on Guan Gu Ri and his answer.

Guan Gu Ri stiffened.

Now he understood why this man came here to Guan Empire after running away yesterday.

It was not to look after the Guan Empire, but to catch his second brother.

Because Guan Xixin was the one who revealed his identity to the media, the fake Guan Gao Huan must be desperate to come after his second brother.

Guan Gu Ri's eyes became cold.

He hid his contempt. Like hell would he tell this man where his second brother was.

His gentle face contained worry. "Our brother Xixin... He visited me yesterday and told me those ridiculous things again. But he walked out after I scolded him for causing a ruckus. I think he still has not recovered from the grief yet." Then Guan Gu Ri showed an expression of surprise and innocently asked, "By the way, how did you know that Xixin came here? We have been discreet and cautious because many people are watching us now."

Guan Gao Huan shrugged. "I heard it from someone in the board of directors. He saw second brother come here in the afternoon. Did second brother say where he would stay? He is not in his mansion."

Guan Gu Ri's eyes lowered.

He had secretly sent home the directors from the board yesterday and told them to keep their locations secret to avoid the enemies' eyes. Their secretaries and assistants were left to manage their offices though. That might have lulled the others to think that the directors were in.

It looked like this fake Guan Gao Huan had his own spies here. Their attention must have been focused on Guan Xixin's presence in the chairman's office and thus did not notice this small detail.

Guan Gu Ri's heart was cold.

It was a good thing that he did not allow Guan Xixin to go outside. Or else, harm might have already befallen his dear brother.

He shook his head. "I'm not sure. Xixin did not tell me where he would go. I tried to stop him but he doesn't listen to me anymore." He sighed. "Anyway, why are you looking for second brother? Don't tell me you believe the nonsense that he is the one behind the news. Xixin might have some issues with you on winning the succession, but he won't harm nor bring down the Guan Empire, no matter what."

Ha, this idiot. Guan Gao Huan scoffed.

"Eldest brother, you don't know how far a distance a person's hatred could drive him to. Second brother has lost his wits. He will not stop unless he brings us down. We must find him immediately and put a stop to his actions before he does something that he will regret for all his life."

Guan Gu Ri clenched his fist.

Hate, huh? That's true. Hate could really make a person change. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

"I understand that, brother." Guan Gu Ri said meaningfully. "But what will we do after we get Xixin? Do you intend to detain him?"

Guan Gao Huan nodded, then shook his head.

His eyes had a hint of killing intent.

Detaining was only like a sweet treat.

He should kill Guan Xixin. The man had destroyed his efforts and put everything Guan Gao Huan had to danger.

Killing him after a round of torture would make him vent his anger.

"It's not really detaining, we will just keep him in my mansion and I will ask him personally. I think after what happened, I still have that right. After everything that second brother had done to me, I hope eldest brother doesn't have any disagreement regarding that," Guan Gao Huan said as he stared at Guan Gu Ri.

Guan Gu Ri's insides boiled. He fought to keep his expression from distorting.

This fraud would detain his brother?

And this fake would interrogate a real Guan after stealing his third brother's identity?!

He dares!

Guan Gu Ri wanted to roar furiously at the man's shamelessness.

The man before him had really treated him like a fool! This fraud was not even hiding his malice completely!

How foolish had Guan Gu Ri been before to miss all these!

He bit his lips and clenched his trembling fists. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

He decided that he would confine this man first.

'Let's see who will detain who.'

Taking a deep breath, Guan Gu Ri showed a helpless expression. His expression was stiff though.

"I see... Because we are 'brothers', I thought that perhaps your conflict will soon pass, but now, perhaps I was wrong. It seems like we have no choice but to go the hard way..." His voice was reluctant. "I will look for him. For now, you must stay here, third brother. Don't wander around. The media is on your tail right now. I will bring second brother to you."

Saying the words 'brother' and 'third brother' was hard for Guan Gu Ri, but he did not want the man to notice anything.

Guan Gao Huan smiled. "Thank you, eldest brother."

His smile looked eerieDetai to Guan Gu Ri.

Guan Gu Ri could no longer force himself to smile. He was barely restraining himself not to hurl his fist at this shameless man's face.

"It's nothing. It's the least thing that I can do. You don't have to think too much of this fake news. I will do my best to stop it from spreading and find the mastermind behind this. As the head of our family, I will surely make them pay after finding out the truth," he said the words firmly and with ruthless conviction.

"I will trust your words, eldest brother." Guan Gao Huan failed to notice the meaningful words.

"Of course. So stay here and just wait for my news."

Stay here and wait for your demise, Guan Gu Ri internally added.
