Addicted Book 2 - Passionate Flames

Chapter 6 - This World is Really Intriguing

Translated by RosySpell

"I am a beast? Then what are you? An animal?" GuYang looked over with a hard, chilling look and spitted out ruthless words that showed no mercy. "I have done despicable deeds, but how many charitable deeds have you done? I hurt my own brother but you also hurt your own father! During the time that you were wounded, who was the one that tirelessly worried about you? Have you ever thought about being thankful?"

"Don't change the topic!" GuHai abruptly interrupted GuYang's criticism "Right now, I just wanted to ask you, what happened after the car accident?"

"That car accident didn't cause you to have amnesia right? I remember when you woke up, you regained your consciousness. And everything else that happened afterward, wasn't it staged right before your eyes? What else did you want to know?"

"I just want to know what happened before I woke up."

"Before you woke up? Is there a need to ask? It was definitely to send you to the hospital and then begin rescue."

"Can you just not beat around the bushes with me?" GuHai's patience is crumbling bit by bit, "You know what I am asking about. From the time after the car accident until the time I awaken, what did you actually say to BaiLouYin? And what did he say to you? Please tell me from the beginning to the end."

"I tell you and then what?" GuYang's eyes concentrated on GuHai, "It has been eight years. Even if you know the truth now, what can you redeem?"

"I don't want to redeem anything, I just want to know! I just want to understand the full picture!!"

"Well, then let me tell you, so listen carefully." GuYang returned to the topic, "You were in a car accident during traffic jam time. BaiLouYin carried you step by step to the ambulance. When I rushed to the hospital, BaiLouYin was outside the ward. The doctor came out and announced that you are out of danger. Then, BaiLuoYin left. But before he left, he told to tell you that he's dead when you wake up."

"That's impossible!" GuHai can't accept this reality, "You definitely said something intentional too shoo him away!"

"There nothing I could do if you don't believe me. But, I admit, saying that he went abroad is indeed my idea. Seeing you living the days not resembling a human being, I fabricated this story in order to give you some hope. Later, I located BaiLouYin friends and relatives and they also agreed to cooperate. This is precisely the reason why you are unable to find any news of him from anywhere."

GuHai could never have imagined that he had been living in a deception for eight years. He had endured the torment from hell every day. In the end, it is just other people's insubstantial false statements.

"Did my dad know about this?"

"Do you think he doesn't know?" GuYang sneered, "When BaiLouYin decided to join the military, the first person he informed was him. That was why he promise not to interfere with your future development."

GuHai finally understood why in the past eight years, GuWeiTing is excessively tolerance of him, treating his absurd act of going abroad to search for BaiLouYin with disinterest while observing on the sidelines. As it turns out, he really is a man of tyranny1. He would rather watch his son struggle in this deception, yet unwilling to tell him the truth.

1 助紂為虐: help a tyrant to victimize his subjects; be accessory to a tyrant's crimes; hold the candle to the devil; help the wicked perpetuate wicked deeds

"Xiao Hai." GuYang's tone softened down, "these words might sound like a cliché, but there might have been a reason. Even without interference, with your two explosive tempers clashing, you guys also won't be able to go far. It's better to get the pain over with quickly than prolonging the agony. Rather than let you go through so many crooked roads, might as well let you give up those thoughts."
