Gu Yibei looked at him calmly without saying a word.
He had noticed this from the moment Eddie deliberately tried to start a conversation with him.
Eddie looked at the photo frame in his hand and silently put it back on the table.
"I lied to my uncle."
He suddenly spoke.
Turning to stare at Gu Yibei, Eddie continued, "Actually, I didn't find Luo Ling at all. It's fake that she's in Thailand. That was just a false rumor I spread. The fact that all flights from China to Thailand are fully booked for the next three days, except tonight, is because I had someone buy all the empty tickets. I did this just to get my uncle out of the way."
Uncle is too smart. Eddie must be on his guard at all times until he has confirmed the matter, and he must not let his uncle hear a word of it.
“Those photos are all fake; I used high-tech methods to create them…”
The Warrens family is in the high-tech business, so producing a photograph was a simple matter for them.
Eddie smiled and looked down: "I was very nervous when I took out the photo. I was afraid that my uncle would find out something. Fortunately... the person in the photo is Luo Ling."
Xi Luo was the woman Li Yuan had never forgotten even after twenty years. In front of the aloof Li Yuan, only mentioning the name Xi Luo could stir any emotion in the otherwise cold and ruthless man.
Li Yuan was so eager to see Xi Luo that he would personally verify anything about Xi Luo, whether it was true or false.
As it turned out, Eddie made the right gamble; the moment he saw the photo, he decided to go to Country T himself.
"..." Gu Yibei stared at him intently: "Why?"
Why send your young father-in-law away?
“I’ve received some news,” Eddie said.
“When I heard the news, my first thought was that I absolutely couldn’t let Uncle and Nan Nan know.” Eddie stared at him with his blue eyes and said seriously, “But unfortunately, I can’t make a decision on my own. I’m glad that at least I can talk to you at this time.”
Gu Yibei is a young man whom even his uncle admires. This matter... perhaps if we listen to Gu Yibei's opinion, he can handle this matter perfectly.
Eddie sat on the edge of the table, a hint of worry on his face: "You should know about the Warrens family's civil war twenty years ago."
Gu Yibei's eyes flickered slightly. Although he was not a member of the Warrens family, when he helped Nan Nan investigate the Warrens family, he had already found out most of what happened twenty years ago.
"That civil war dealt a heavy blow to the Warrens family. Although my uncle eventually became the patriarch, the price he paid was too high."
His parents, grandparents, and even his uncle's father all passed away that year.
"Even so, in the end my uncle did not completely exterminate them. He released the elderly women and children who had not participated in the rebellion."
Li Yuan was ultimately not as ruthless as those people. He killed all the rebels but spared their wives, parents, and children.
Eddie's voice remained calm throughout, making it impossible to discern his true feelings.
"Uncle will let those people go, partly because they are innocent, and partly because Uncle wants to confirm something."
Eddie's tone changed again.
He casually pulled out a chair and sat down, staring at Gu Yibei: "The previous patriarch of the Warrens family was my uncle's father. Although the Warrens family was not as prosperous as my uncle's back then, it was definitely not bad either."
