Chapter 440: Pieces of the puzzle
When the current video finished playing, the next one automatic played. This time, it was a monologue of Flynn.
He smiled at the camera but unlike the usual grimace that usually joyously laced his lips, this time he looked like he was hiding his sadness behind that handsome smile. "If you got to this video, you must have watched the others. You must have found the answers to many puzzles."
Lanni nodded even though she knew that he would not see her, while Luna stared blankly at the screen. It was unsure whether she could hear a word.
"I don’t know how long I’m going to stay alive as I found out things I shouldn’t. Just like your second uncle, my days are numbered now. I need to ask you for a favor."
Luna jolted and listened carefully when she heard this. Her lips trembled as she asked," Just like Second Uncle?"
Lanni suddenly understood. "Mum’s brother!"
Now that they recalled it, Li Yuming had once mentioned that Xia Hanchen was behind their maternal uncle’s death, because the latter had found out shocking secrets about him. At the time, they had thought she was bluffing and forcibly making up reasons to prevent Lanni from going to save her father from Galaxis.
Thinking up to this point, Lanni burst into laughter. "Wait. Why did I need to save him from Galaxis? He is the boss... meaning that’s his territory. How could he have been forcefully kidnapped?"
Luna facepalmed when she realized what was going on. "He tricked us. He made up the whole ’kidnapping’ charade to make you work for him." Luna almost couldn’t contain her anger. At the time, Lanni had used up all her effort and when she was done, the boss of Galaxis had wanted to make her continue working for him. It was only when Xiehan made a deal with Flynn that they let her off. Who would have thought that the person behind it all was Xia Hanchen himself?
They had missed out a huge part of the video so they rewinded it.
"Once you find out the truth, pretend you know nothing. Until you are strong enough, don’t try to counter him. Or else what happened on the last night you were with your Senior Yang might just happen again." Flynn concluded and the screen turned black.
