Chapter 626 - Guan Xixin\'s Declaration

A tall man entered with big strides. However, he was limping. His forehead was still bleeding and bloodstains were still on his clothes.

There were people behind running after him.

"Wait, Second Young Master Guan! Let me treat you first!"

Guan Xixin\'s face was dark and his strides had an imposing aura. His fiery eyes glared at Guan Gao Huan who was looking coldly at him. He then looked at the old man whose eyes were now wide, seeing the blood on his pale face.

The people around him also stood up in shock and looked at him with surprised and terrified expressions.

"Second young master!"

"Xixin! What happened to you!" Guan Gu Ri hurriedly ran to his second brother in big strides. His face was pale and his outstretched hands were trembling.

"I am alright. Just some f.u.c.ker wants my life."

His gaze was coldly fixed on Guan Gao Huan.

Guan Gu Ri was stunned.

Someone wanted his second brother\'s life?

"What do you mean?" Guan Gu Ri\'s voice trembled. Who would want his second brother\'s life? Were they enemies of the Guan family?

Guan Xixin ignored him, went to where his chair was, and stood in front of the table.

He looked at his grandfather\'s pale face and at the shocked gazes of the people around him. Lastly, he glared at Guan Gao Huan.

He composed himself and endured the dizziness he was feeling.

He bowed politely.

"I apologize for being late. I got into an accident on the way." His gaze on Guan Gao Huan while saying the last sentence was cold.

The people inside the conference room who had previously jumped up to their feet gasped collectively in shock.

No wonder the second young master was hurt right now!

However, why did he come here right away without even tending to his injuries?

He should go to the hospital!

And also that car accident, was it truly an accident?

The shareholders eyed each other.

Guan Xixin straightened up, ignoring the pain on his legs.

"I have read grandfather\'s notice. I, Guan Xixin, will not withdraw from the succession trial for the heir position. I will continue to fight for my rights and do my best to gather your trust in selecting me as the heir candidate of our Guan Empire."

His strong declaration made everyone speechless.

A man covered in his own blood, disregarding his injuries, came here to announce this statement.

This strange situation made everyone blank out for a moment, not knowing how to react.

The second young master\'s determined eyes and confident aura despite his sorry appearance made the people who had been supporting him originally but was planning to switch sides waver once more.

They had been supporting this talented young man who possessed extremely accurate instincts in business for a long time already, so their hearts began settling back to their initial positions.

It was better if they stick to their trust in him and continue to support him.

Old Guan swallowed down his own worries. His heart was unsteady, but he tried to calm his heartbeat.

Seeing his grandson covered with blood made him recall some things which he did not want to remember.

Car accident, it was yet another car accident....

Old Guan hoped that his grandson would treat his injuries first. Calming himself down, he spoke to Guan Xixin. "Alright, we understand. Let the doctor treat you first. I will let my butler inform you later about the things we discussed."

Guan Xixin shook his head. "No need. I will come back after they treat my injury."

The doctors finally entered the conference room to escort Guan Xixin out.

Guan Gu Ri stood by Guan Xixin\'s side. "Grandfather, I will escort my second brother out."

The elders\' faction who was supporting Guan Gu Ri wanted their candidate to stay. This would be a good opportunity to gather and convinced the people on his side. And this could only be done if the candidate was present.

The elders were about to complain when Guan Gu Ri looked at them.

"This is my brother. I am worried about him. I will entrust the matters to the elders."

He then followed Guan Xixin and the doctors outside without looking back.

Old Guan looked at his second grandson\'s back with worry and unease stirring at his heart.

His grandson met an accident at such a crucial time.

This was definitely not coincidental.

If it were the past generations, he would suspect the two other brothers first.

However, his three grandsons\' relationship was quite harmonious. He knew it very well ever since the three were still young. Even though Guan Xixin recently made a lot of tough time and trouble for Guan Gao Huan, he knew well his second grandson\'s love for his two brothers. It was also the same for the youngest.

Guan Gu Ri\'s love for both of his brothers as well were unconditional.

So it was not likely their evil scheme.

Then who?

The elders? The other factions?

Old Guan frowned.

Who dared to hurt his second grandson!

His heart felt heavy. One of the things that hurt him the most was that his second grandson did not even report to him that he met such an accident.

His second grandson still did not trust him...

Old Guan called out to his butler discreetly.

The butler stepped forward and lowered his head over.

"Headmaster."

"Investigate this accident. This is most likely a conspiracy plotted by someone who wants to hurt him. Check the car itself and everyone else involved."

Their driver was top notch, it was unlikely to be a careless mistake. The possibility of meeting a car rushing accidentally at such an important moment was too much of a coincidence, too.

"Yes, Headmaster. I will investigate it right away."

It was best to investigate while the crime was still fresh.

Guan Gao Huan silently watched them. His chilly brown eyes then glanced at the door.

That Guan Xixin....

He had a truly great luck to survive his first assasination attempt.

"Third Young Master Guan..."

At this time, a small group of shareholders approached him.

Guan Gao Huan erased his cold look and smiled gently while showing a timely worried expression. "I am sorry, I wasn\'t listening. I am too worried about my brother\'s accident. What were you saying again?"

He should first do his work here.

Thus, the meeting room of the Guan Empire\'s shareholders and direction had been solo\'d by Guan Gao Huan for the time being.

Old Guan did not leave the conference room despite feeling sick. He waited for his two grandsons to come back.

***

In the other room, Guan Xixin was being treated by the doctors. The family\'s medical staff came fast with a variety of mobile equipment.

Fortunately, there was no serious internal injury after doing a CT scan and other tests.

Guan Gu Ri wore a deep frown on his face while staring intently at Guan Xixin\'s injuries.

Guan Xixin: "If you keep staring, the doctor will end up making a mistake out of nervousness."

The skilled doctor gave an awkward smile at Guan Xixin\'s remarks.

Guan Gu Ri sat down and looked at his brother\'s pale face. His eyes were filled with worry and distress.

"How are you feeling?"

"I am feeling like shit. But I can survive."

Guan Gu Ri sighed. He poured alcohol in his hand then copied the doctor\'s way of cleaning his wounds.

"How come you are in this sorry state? Why did you say earlier that someone is after your life?"

"It was a car accident. The car that my driver used for me for two years and is constantly checked suddenly malfunctioned when we tried to avoid the rushing truck coming toward us. How \'coincidental\'." Guan Xixin smirked coldly.

That bastard wanted his life by covering it up as an accident.

Was it because he had declared to him that he would not let him become the heir?

Guan Xixin was sure that it was Guan Gao Huan\'s work.

Guan Gu Ri\'s face was solemn. "You\'re certain that the car malfunctioned?"

"Yes."

Guan Gu Ri became furious. He took a deep breath. "Then that is really a good cover-up. I will investigate this matter deeply. "

"No need. I already told my people to investigate the car and the driver of the truck. Besides, even without investigating, I already have an idea on who it could be. No, I am very positive it\'s him."

"Who?" Guan Gu Ri\'s eyes turned cold.

Who dared to hurt his younger brother?

Guan Xixin lowered his eyes. "...You won\'t believe me even if I tell you."

Guan Gu Ri fell silent, then his eyes widened a fraction.

A thought came to his mind.

"Don\'t tell me, you are still suspecting Gao Huan?"

"....."

Guan Gu Ri took a deep breath, feeling pained. "Xixin, I am very furious at whoever did this to you. I will never let them go. But this matter cannot be blamed on Gao Huan. No matter how the fight between the two of you turn for worse, you two are still brothers! No one would want the life of the other!"

"Eldest brother! I told you already that he is not our brother! If he really is, he would not want my life!" Guan Xixin erupted as well.

"Xixin, our youngest grew up alone without anyone by his side. Don\'t you think it would be more odd if he did not change?! You are already proven wrong many times. You... Xixin, suspecting him constantly will make the two of you become worse than strangers! Now you are still suspecting him? If you want to ask me, I will point my fingers at the elders!"
