Chapter 82 You Will Always Be My Brother

Seeing Li Yan, Li Nuo was not panicked. He greeted him calmly, "You're awake. There happened to be a power outage here."

Li Yan focused his eyes on the phone in his brother's hand and muttered to himself, "The power is out, so I can make a phone call now."

Li Nuo passed him and walked into the living room. "The hallway is cold. Let's go inside and talk."

He didn't joke about his own body and still covered himself with a blanket when he came out. However, the corridor was windy and the wind would always blow somewhere.

Compared to his indifference, Li Yan was at a loss.

After he was awakened by the thunder, he saw that his brother was not in the room. He went to Li Nuo's room but did not see anyone there. So he went downstairs and saw his brother standing in the corridor with his cell phone to his ear. He didn't know who he was talking to.

At that moment, the blood in his body stopped flowing.

Although a muting device was installed, it was a mistake not to consider the possibility of power failure.

He also didn't consider that his brother had been trying to contact the outside world, and took advantage of the power outage to succeed.

Although I knew he always carried his cell phone with him, I let my guard down... If I had known earlier, I should have destroyed the cell phone as Director Qin said.

Now, it's too late.

'Who is it? Zhang Wanhui? Or is it Li Yuzhi?'

Not knowing what Li Nuo knew, he couldn't open his mouth and could only act according to his brother's expression.

The two sat opposite each other in the living room, and neither of them spoke.

Li Nuo looked like he was thinking about something with a serious expression, while Li Yan was very nervous.

Finally, Li Nuo spoke up: "I received some ridiculous messages, but Dad... Li Yuzhi also said the same thing, so I was confused."

He looked up at Li Yan who was biting his lips with his head down, and he had already come to a conclusion in his heart.

Although this opportunity came a little suddenly, it is better to solve the puzzle all at once than to play dumb.

"The information says we are not brothers, let alone twins."

Although I tried to remain calm, my voice still trembled slightly.

Only then did Li Nuo realize that he had been deceived by the original novel, because the novel said from the beginning that they were fraternal twins and never expressed any doubts, so he believed it without a doubt.

Now that I think about it, it’s really a terrible thing to have preconceived ideas. But it’s also possible that the original work hasn’t been completed yet, and the secret may be revealed later, but I haven’t seen it yet.

I don’t know how much time has passed, Li Nuo has been staring at Li Yan, watching his expression change a thousand times, his mouth opening and closing.

In fact, Li Yan really wanted to leave here, and he was regretting why he didn't smash his phone.

But he also knew that one day, Li Nuo would know about this.

I just didn't expect that I would know it so quickly.

'How can I say this to minimize the impact of this incident?'

'How can I say this so that nothing changes between us?'

My continued silence was my silent resistance, but my brother didn't seem to be willing to let it go and wanted to have a serious talk with me.

Li Yan raised his head and tried hard to steady his gaze.

Looking at his trembling pupils, Li Nuo wanted to end the conversation for a moment, but finally hardened his heart.

Listening to Li Yan slowly speaking: "Yes, we are not twins, nor are we brothers. In terms of blood relationship, we are strangers with no relationship. But I have never thought about it this way."

Li Nuo nodded, ".....When did you know?"

Li Yan was silent for a while, "My father told me when I was in junior high school."

"It was very early, so I was the only one in the family who didn't know about it. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I...I don't want to say it."

Thinking about it now, I was still a child when I first entered junior high school, but I also began to understand things and knew what it meant to adopt a child, so I cried for a long time at that time.

Knowing that he was just a child, Li Yuzhi said it directly. He must have hoped that he could accept this kindness and take better care of Li Nuo. It was well-intentioned at that time, but later this kindness turned into a shackle.

Because I know that Li Yan is kind and longs for a family.

"If I tell you, you will definitely leave me."

Before this, my mother passed away, and after this, Li Yuzhi also left. It could be said that the whole family no longer existed, and I didn't want Li Nuo to leave too.

It was after that that Li Yuzhi caught me with this handle and kept asking me for money.

Li Nuo sighed, but it seemed to burn Li Yan and made him shrink.

"You're not going to tell me? For the rest of my life?"

"...Well, I plan to keep it a secret. After paying off the loan, we will move to a new place, far away from all this."

Li Nuo's mouth twitched. Judging from the original owner's character as a burden, I don't think you will be able to pay off the loan in your lifetime.

He looked at Li Yan with a complicated look. He had heard the psychologist in the hospital say that some people were like this. From a personality perspective, he couldn't tell whether Li Yan was a dedicated or a people-pleasing type, but Li Yuzhi's abnormal education over a long period of time must have caused some problems in Li Yan's heart.

Otherwise, he really couldn't understand how he could take good care of the original owner under such circumstances.

Li Yan was still saying, "I thought that one day you would understand, so I thought it would be better not to tell you."

Li Nuo raised an eyebrow, "If I knew, what would you do?"

“…I, I don’t know…”

"Yeah, you don't know," Li Nuo said with a complicated expression.

The fact that Zhang Wanhui and Li Yuzhi only mentioned this matter now means that they had not mentioned it in front of Li Nuo before. That gave the secret away, and the original owner knew about it.

Forget it, let’s not dwell on this for now.

He looked at Li Yan and continued to ask: "Where are your biological parents?"

"He said that he died when I was very young, so he adopted me. It's okay for us to grow up together..."

"Your birthday is..."

"January 1st."

Li Nuo smiled. It was a good time, the beginning of everything.

"I'm the older brother, right?"

"Um......"

Li Nuo felt his emotions surging. Li Yan, who was supposed to be born at a blessed time, did not have a perfect life.

Exploited by Li Yuzhi, bullied by the original owner, and emotionally encountering a dangerous boss, Li Yan in the novel is a typical example of the saying "living just to live."

He stood up, and the sound of the chair scraping on the floor made Li Yan tremble.

But Li Nuo didn't leave. Instead, he leaned over and hugged Li Yan, "Thank you for your hard work."

In many ways, this young man in his early twenties has shouldered too much.

"My words remain unchanged. You will always be my family. Thank you so much for taking care of me all these years."

"You and I both need some time to sort out our feelings." The light came on, and Li Nuo's expression was very gentle under the light. "It's up to you to tell me everything when."

He let go of her hand and wanted to go upstairs. It would be best to give each other some space and time to calm down at this time.

But Li Yan reached out and held him, his hands were shaking, but he was holding him very hard.

"I'll tell you everything. I'll tell you now."

...........

The biggest secret has been revealed, and all that remains are some small tidbits.

"I had no other intention than to let my brother live here to protect you. Director Qin and another powerful director were fighting, but don't worry, we won, otherwise I would still be busy now."

Li Nuo hummed, "You can guess that this is why Brother Qin was injured and recuperating, right?"

Then he asked, "Are you okay?"

Li Nuo shook his head, "It's okay. I've been working in secret for a while now, and I have a lot of people protecting me. Now they are desperate, so let me stay out of the spotlight here until Director Qin cleans up everything, and then I'll go back to clean up the mess."

Li Nuo pouted, "You are really good at manipulating people, those two. No wonder you look so haggard."

Li Yan smiled, but frowned again. "The director showed me a document before, which mentioned that Director Wen's secretary had contact with Zhang Wanhui and...Dad a year ago. And about that MLM company, it said that person took the initiative to contact you. Brother, do you have any idea?"

Li Nuo was also stunned by what he said, frowned and began to reminisce. In fact, he had almost forgotten about that incident, but after hearing it, he remembered a little bit, that his father's attitude towards him was too flattering and so on.

"Some time ago, they contacted me again, and then my father came to ask me for your address."

Only then did Li Nuo understand why Zhang Wanhui and Li Yuzhi were so eager to contact him at the same time. He was furious and took a deep breath.

Li Yan came over and patted him on the back worriedly.

"I'm fine. I was just shocked once again by the shamelessness of those two people."

After a while, he sneered, "That's why you said you would come pick me up."

Li Yan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who is it? Zhang Wanhui?"

"Yeah. I asked several times where I live now."

Li Nuo grinded his upper and lower teeth together, as if he was venting his anger.

He now has some more pieces of the puzzle and feels he is getting closer to the truth.

"So, what we have to do now is to pray that Brother Qin can successfully secure the position of chairman, right?" He was rarely humorous.

Li Yan couldn't relax, because even a broken boat still has three pounds of nails. Who knows what Director Wen will do in the end.

After they finished talking, silence fell between them again.

Li Nuo exhaled and glanced at Li Yan, "Let's both sort out our thoughts. I may need some time to think."

Li Yan nodded.

Aunt Zheng came back from the backyard with her staff. It seemed that the electrical equipment had been repaired. She apologized, "I'm very sorry. The backup power supply had not been used for a long time and there was a problem. It's fixed now. I'll have someone prepare dinner."

Li Nuo spoke to her for a few words and then returned to the room.

I took out my phone and saw that there was no signal again.

He sorted out the information he had obtained.

When Li Yan first appeared next to Qin Xu, Director Wen found Zhang Wanhui and Li Yuzhi. At this time, their target should still be Li Yan.

The original owner was still a fool at that time.

He had known for a long time that Li Yan was not his biological brother, so he became even more obsessed with Li Yuzhi, who was related to him by blood, and his attitude towards Li Yan became even worse.

Then, the original owner and Zhang Wanhui conspired to kill Li Yan, but the action was stopped because the client was unreliable.

Then, the original owner was admitted to the hospital for examination, and he traveled through time and space with an empty brain.

I have forgotten all the conspiracy, love, hate and vengeance.

Director Wen saw that Qin Xu and Mo Chuan were attracted to him, and accordingly, he changed his target and aimed at him.

It’s just that Mo Chuan moved faster and sent himself away.

So, the original owner really failed to kill someone and ended up being killed.

Li Nuo fell on the bed, feeling that the original owner was not in a good mind. Fortunately, he did not give the memory to himself. What if it was contaminated?
