CHAPTER 607: CHAPTER 520: A HUGE SECRET (THREE UPDATES) - 2

"You’ve pulled in someone else. Your brother is your closest relative; you both share the same blood."

The Emperor’s tone bore a hint of displeasure. Too bad Nancy was busy trying to please him and didn’t notice this subtle change.

"Hehe, no matter how close a brother is, he can’t be closer than parents. In the future, when he gets married, he might even forget his own mother, let alone remember me, his sister." Nancy laughed out loud.

The Emperor’s eyes darkened slightly, just as he was about to reprimand her, Nancy tugged at his beard, laughing, "Daddy, I suggest you shave this beard. Look at how young my mom is, with your face full of beard, people might mistake you for her uncle..."

"Sigh! I don’t even know what my mom was thinking, wearing that veil for over twenty years and then just taking it off. Now she frequently shows her face in public, which isn’t good."

The Emperor suddenly shot a sharp glance at Nancy and asked sternly, "Nancy, do you know what you’re saying!"

Nancy was taken aback, then laughed, "Daddy, are you angry? I was just testing you on Mom’s behalf to see how much you really love her..."

The Emperor shot up from his seat, "The love between your mom and me doesn’t need anyone’s testing!"

With that, the Emperor stormed out of Nancy’s chambers.

Nancy watched his back, collapsing powerlessly onto the sofa.

The Emperor returned to his office with a dark expression. The Empress took one glance at him before continuing with her documents.

After pacing twice around the room, the Emperor finally couldn’t hold it in and said, "This Nancy, first, she’s cold-blooded. Second, she overthinks. Third..."

The Empress looked up from her documents, "Third what?"

"Stirring up trouble! She’s going to drive me crazy!"

The Empress’s lips curled slightly, "No matter how much she overthinks, she’s still a bit naive. Without Xia Rou by her side, her flaws will soon be exposed. Save her if you can, if not, I have no intention of raising another Kai Di!"

The Emperor was taken aback, "You wouldn’t kill her, would you?!"

"Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, how could I possibly kill her? If there’s no hope, best marry her off early... Randy, the information about Nancy and Xia Rou was sold to me by Kai Di. Do you think there’s a conspiracy here?"

The Empress ended her sentence, startled by her own thoughts.

The Emperor pondered for a moment and replied, "Kai Di hopes to exchange this information for you to treat Joseph kindly, so there shouldn’t be any conspiracy, right?"

"But before she died, she mentioned a shocking secret. What could that secret be?"

"Probably just nonsense to save her life."

The Empress shook her head in disagreement, "Judging by her expression, it shouldn’t be nonsense. And with Nancy stirring things up, the only conclusion I can reach is that this secret is related to Nancy. I’ll send someone with Xia Rou and Nancy’s photos to the northern farm now."

With that, the Empress made a phone call.

...

Today, Yi Luowa, just like usual, went with Tong Airui to Shenying.

As the car pulled up to the entrance, they both spotted a familiar figure.

Ke Jingran noticed their car and hurried over.

"Where did you come from? How come you’re here so early?" Yi Luowa pressed the car window and asked.

"I just got back from home, Mrs. Luowa. I might have discovered a huge secret! It’s about you..."

Tong Airui glanced at him, "Get in the car behind, we’ll talk inside."

Ke Jingran nodded quickly, running to get into the escort car behind them.

Yi Luowa rolled up the window, looking at Tong Airui with suspicion, "What kind of enormous secret could I have?"

"Your background!" Tong Airui’s lips curled slightly, "Last night I dreamed that someone told me you would find your family these days. I didn’t believe it at first, but with what Ke Jingran just said, it all clicked."

Yi Luowa laughed and slapped his thigh, "Dreams are always the opposite of reality!"

Tong Airui laughed and shook his head, "My dreams are always accurate. Every time I have a spring dream, it ends up coming true."

"Pff—" Yuan Hang burst out laughing.

Tong Airui kicked the seat with a grin, "Drive your car! Laugh again and I’ll sew your mouth shut!"

Yi Luowa glared playfully at him, "You say something so shameless and expect people not to laugh?"

"Haha... exactly!" Yuan Hang honked the horn, prompting the sentry to quickly open the gate as several cars drove in steadily.

Tong Airui and Yi Luowa first got out of the car. Once Ke Jingran was out too, the three of them hurried into the office building.

Just as they entered Tong Airui’s office, Ke Jingran took out an envelope and handed it to Tong Airui.

"Duke Airui, this is what my brother wrote to me on the day something happened, but the mailing address was our hometown’s address. He must have anticipated I would go back home."

Tong Airui gave him a deep look before taking out the letter.

Brother:

I know, I have to tell you everything. You’ll definitely look down on me, but if I don’t say it, my conscience won’t be at ease even after I die.

I took a job online. They wanted me to go interview at the Audrich Hotel, not for work, but for a woman named Yi Luowa. They urgently needed her hair and promised me five million after it was done.

At first, I didn’t know who this Yi Luowa was, but after seeing Duke Airui, I realized she was Mrs. Luowa. I hesitated, but the temptation of money led me to steal a few strands of her hair against my conscience.

Brother, I don’t know how big this conspiracy is. If it might harm Mrs. Luowa, I hope you can give this letter to Duke Airui.

Tong Airui, hands slightly trembling, looked up at Yi Luowa.

Yi Luowa, holding two cups of water, came over and saw Tong Airui in such a state. She smiled and asked, "Could your dream really have come true?"

Tong Airui suddenly laughed, "I wanted to scare you, but it didn’t work."

Yi Luowa pouted, cheerfully handing a glass of water to Ke Jingran, "Drink some water, don’t mind him. He just gets a bit erratic at times."

Ke Jingran took the water, looked at Tong Airui in confusion—he’d read the letter already, it was about Mrs. Luowa, yet why wouldn’t Duke Airui tell her?

Tong Airui gave him a look, signaling him not to speak. To avoid hurting his wife again, he planned to investigate everything thoroughly before telling her.

Ke Jingran pursed his lips, "Duke Airui, Mrs. Luowa, I promised Joyina that I’d resume work today, I need to head to the film base."

Tong Airui immediately stood up, putting the letter into his pocket, "I’ll see you out."

Yi Luowa gave him a teasing look—had he changed his ways?

Ke Jingran was also somewhat flattered and quickly followed Tong Airui out.

Once downstairs, Tong Airui whispered, "Once I investigate this thoroughly, I’ll let you know the results. But for now, I hope you can keep this secret for me."

"Alright! I won’t mention it to anyone. I’m just worried Mrs. Luowa might get hurt."

"As long as I’m here, no one can harm her!" Tong Airui firmly patted his shoulder, "Thank you!"

"Duke Airui, this thank you makes me feel so ashamed. My brother did such a thing, and you’re thanking me..."

"Don’t blame yourself! The car’s here, get in. Once there’s news, I’ll be the first to let you know." Tong Airui’s lips curled slightly as he personally opened the car door for Ke Jingran.
