To Love You Again-Chapter 669 - Gunans Origin

The doors of the chairman's office of IHZHI opened. Linfeng came in with a file in his hand. His hair was a bit messy. His collar was not even fixed properly.

"Zhi'er. I have news to tell you." His expression was solemn.

Xiong Zhi had just finished her work. She glanced up and was a bit surprised seeing a messy Linfeng. It looked like the man had come up here running.

She stood up and took out her handkerchief.

"Why do you look like this?"

Xiong Zhi wiped Linfeng's sweat and fixed his collar and tie. Only then did she finally notice that Linfeng's tie was the same as yesterday's.

He just changed his coat.

Xiong Zhi narrowed her eyes. "You have been staying all night, haven't you?"

This man had come back to his old habit now, huh?

Seeing the change in his girlfriend's expression, Linfeng paused.

Ahem, better change the topic quickly.

"My men found a new lead yesterday."

Xiong Zhi stopped and was distracted. "About Gunan's origin?"

"Yes." Linfeng opened the file he was holding. "My men found out that his mother was a property of an organization in the black market. The woman was only known as 'Marga'. She doesn't have a last name, same as everyone else born in that market."

He handed to Xiong Zhi a picture of a group of beautiful and coquettish women with thick make-up and revealing clothes, all of them surrounding a man. Their background was that of red lights city.

Xiong Zhi stared at it. "Who is this man?"

"He was the former head of the Red Tiger Gang, the organization that Marga, Gunan's mother, belonged to. She gave birth to Gunan in that place back then. Gunan's father was probably one of her clients. My men heard that the women of the organization in this market keep their children as a leeway and trump card. If the father has some money, they will not abort the child and use them as a bargaining tool to get more money."

Xiong Zhi's face was solemn. "Then what happened?"

How could Gunan end up in Ming Zhi Yi's hand?

"The Red Tiger Gang had been annihilated by another gang fighting for the same territory and took over their properties. Marga was a casualty. The children of the p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.es were taken over by that gang. They took the children and sold them to the underground market. Some were sold as pets, some as slaves, and many of them were sold as death soldiers for the rich and the wealthy, such as Gunan. I think that's where Ming Zhi Yi found Gunan."

"Do we have proof? Is the information reliable?"

"We've managed to trace it back there because our men found proof that Gunan came from there. However..."

"What is it?"

"There's nothing on Ming Zhi Yi at all. He cleaned up after himself really well."

Xiong Zhi frowned.

So that's all to it?

Linfeng seemed to understand her thoughts.

He pointed his finger on the picture, particularly on the red-haired woman.

"This woman is Marga."

Xiong Zhi looked at the woman.

Linfeng: "Don't you find her familiar?"

Familiar?

Apart from the fact that she looked a lot like a feminine version of Gunan, there was nothing more.

It was no surprise that she looked similar to Gunan. They were mother and son after all.

She shook her head and asked, "I am sure I haven't seen her. Why do you ask?"

"Then you probably have not met Guan Gu Ri's and Guan Xixin's mother when you were still a child, or even saw her picture."

Xiong Zhi nodded. Her eyes flashed.

Since Linfeng was mentioning Guan Xixin's mother...

Then, could it be...?

Linfeng took another photo from the file and showed it to Xiong Zhi.

"Actually, I stayed up all night just to confirm my doubts. When I first saw Marga in this photo, I immediately found this person's semblance to the former lady of the Guan Family. As the successor of the main lineage of a butler family, I memorized all the faces included in the family tree of the four families."

There was around seventy percent similarity in the features between the elegant brown-haired woman and the woman named Marga.

However, the main difference was the pair of golden eyes and fiery red hair of Marga. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

Xiong Zhi' heart skipped a beat.

Their ominous premonition might be right.

"You don't tell me... Marga is related by blood to the Guan Family?"

"That is my suspicion. We already suspected before that Gunan might be a Guan's illegitimate son," Linfeng said. "There could not be so much coincidence."

"Then, is this suspicion confirmed?"

"My men are investigating it right now. Although we have the lead that Gunan came there, we might get the results tomorrow or the day after."

Xiong Zhi nodded. Her face became solemn.

"There's a big chance that Gunan might be truly a Guan. If this is known, he... He may still have the right to inherit the Guan Empire despite stealing Guan Gao Huan's identity." And this could become a trouble later on.

Linfeng shook his head. "That's not gonna happen. At least the two brothers won't allow it."

Xiong Zhi turned to him and raised a slender brow.

Two brothers?

"Have Guan Xixin contacted you?"

Linfeng smiled. "Yes. Not only him. Guan Gu Ri also expressed his support. They want to meet the both of us."

"...."

Xiong Zhi smiled back.

Finally, they were able to secure people whom they could trust while fighting for their cause.

Given the vendetta between the Guan family and the force behind Gunan, the two Guan brothers would be definitely a great boost to Linfeng and Xiong Zhi's quiet efforts in preparing against Ming Zhi Yi's schemes.
