Chapter 619 Protecting You
After watching Angus leave with a smile, Zhuang Long asked Yan Yu, “What’s wrong with your father? He left so quickly like he was fleeing from a war.”
Yan Yu did not know either.
Yan Nuo and Ji Yinbing looked at each other with heavy hearts.
After lunch, Angus thanked Zhuang Long and talked to Sha Zelong in private for a while before finding Yan Nuo.
When he came to look for Yan Nuo, Yan Nuo and Ji Yinbing were preparing for lunch.
Angus stood by the door and asked Yan Nuo, “Are you free to come out and talk?”
Ji Yinbing nodded at Yan Nuo before he walked out of the room.
The father and son walked to the golf course in Zhuang Long’s backyard. Angus and Yan Nuo stood side by side. Angus was slightly shorter than Yan Nuo. He casually plucked a blade of gra.s.s and played with it in his hand. He didn’t speak, and neither did Yan Nuo.
After walking for a distance, Angus sighed. “Did you keep quiet until I said something?” Yan Nuo glanced at him and nodded.
Angus was speechless.
He could not help but sigh. “You’re not like me.” After a pause, Yan Nuo heard Angus say sadly, “Not like your mother either.”
Without any warning, Yan Nuo suddenly said, “If.”
She saw Angus look over.
Yan Nuo tilted his head and looked at Angus. He met Angus’s puzzled eyes. He could not help but wonder what would happen to him if Angus realized that his mother had always loved him. Would he be so sad that he could not control himself?
Angus felt strange that Yan Nuo had suddenly stopped talking. “Huh?” He tilted his head and asked Angus, “What are you trying to say?” Yan Nuo said softly, “You asked me a question that day.”
Angus’s expression darkened a little. “How?”
“If that person doesn’t treat you as a subst.i.tute and she has always loved you.” Yan Nuo’s gaze turned sharp. He asked Angus, “Then what are you going to do?”
Angus turned pale.
Yan Nuo added, “If you kill her wrongly because of a misunderstanding…” He clenched his fists and suppressed his anger and pain. He asked Angus hoa.r.s.ely,” What are you going to
do?”
Angus looked up slightly and met Yan Nuo’s eyes. A moment later, he said, “I don’t know.”
Yan Nuo clenched his fists.
“She loves you very much,” Yan Nuo said. “Do you know what she said to us after you threw the knife and escaped?”
Angus wanted to know, but he was afraid to.
“Don’t tell me.” Angus turned to escape.
Behind him, Yan Nuo told him very loudly, “She begged us not to hate you. She said that she personally cut off everything about you. If even we hate you, then no one in this world will love you anymore.”
“She even begged us to escort you!”
“Otherwise, how do you think your good days have come about all these years?”
Angus stopped. He turned around and stared at Yan Nuo. “What do you mean?”
“Is it so easy to survive in Hollywood? No one has cleared the obstacles for you behind your back. How did you get to this point?” Yan Nuo’s gaze darkened. The more he spoke, the colder his tone became. “That woman begged for your carefree life.”
“Shut up!” Angus was furious.
Angus felt sick at the thought that the woman had only used him as a subst.i.tute. “That’s disgusting. She wouldn’t let me go even if she died.” Angus looked disgusted. His tone was disdainful, but his amber eyes were filled with pain. Since you treat me as a subst.i.tute, why do you have to do this!
Yan Nuo could tell that Angus was in pain.
He could have said worse, but he couldn’t bear
it.
He strode towards Angus and stopped beside him. Yan Nuo lowered his head and said to Angus, “I have to go back to India to investigate something. Don’t turn off your phone for the time being. I might contact you. Angus, I have to tell you that you might have misunderstood my mother.” Yan Nuo left after saying that.
Angus stood still, thinking about the truth of Yan Nuo’s words.
Yan Nuo really brought Ji Yinbing back to the country.
On the plane, Ji Yinbing was reading while Yan Nuo was thinking about something. He was thinking, if that diary was fabricated by Annita, what was her motive? Just because of jealousy? If Annita was indeed the owner of the diary, then she was the real culprit who killed her mother!
Vera had been loitering on the fourth floor all those days. Did she know about the diary?
Did she want to destroy the diary?
Yan Nuo could not help but guess what Vera’s motive for betraying the Black Fiend was.
He could not get through to her, so he rubbed his eyebrows in distress. Ji Yinbing closed the book and tilted her head to ask him, “What are you thinking about?”
Yan Nuo told Ji Yinbing about the messy thoughts in his mind.
“You think what Vera is looking for is most likely this diary?”
“Yeah.”
Ji Yinbing’s expression flickered.
“What’s wrong?” Yan Nuo asked carefully.
“I remembered something.” If Yan Nuo didn’t say this, Ji Yinbing wouldn’t have thought of it. She said, “About three years ago. Remember, there was once when Angus asked Sister Yan to help him find a pipe? It was when I found the notebook.”
“Yes, I remember. What’s wrong?”
Ji Yinbing said, “Wasn’t Vera around that day? Just as she left, I asked Sister Yan some questions related to the contents of the diary. In the end, Vera forgot to take her bag and returned halfway. I think she heard what I said.”
“Are you sure she heard you?”
“I think so, because Sister Yan Yu asked Thomas to come over and get her pipe. Thomas was still at the door asking Vera why she stood at the door and didn’t go in.” That must have meant she heard him.
Both of them fell silent at the same time. Then, they almost thought of something.
“That cup of poisonous water!” they said almost in unison.
They looked at each other and Ji Yinbing said, “That cup of poisonous water… Vera wanted to kill me because she was afraid that I would say something about the diary.”
Yan Nuo remained silent. He agreed with Ji Yinbing.
He did not expect the truth behind Vera’s poisoning
The moment they got off the plane, they saw Xiao Fengyi, who had come to pick them up. Just as they got into the car, Yan Nuo ordered Xiao Fengyi, “Get someone to find Vera!”
Xiao Fengyi was stunned and asked him in surprise, “What’s wrong?”
Yan Nuo remained silent with an ugly expression.
Xiao Fengyi looked at Ji Yinbing and realized that her expression was also cold. Xiao Fengyi realized that something big had happened and quickly called a brother in the Golden Triangle to get him to bring Vera back. Back then, after Vera was saved by Dr. Mo Er after being weighed twelve times.
