Chapter 404 I am actually your father
Now he came here on impulse, but when he stood in front of the familiar wooden door, he didn't have the courage to push the door open and go in to ask what was going on. What would the answer be? Was it good or bad? Could he accept it or not? Gu Nankai didn't know what the answer was for a moment.
But while he was hesitating, the wooden door was opened from the inside. When Gu Nankai saw the person standing in front of him, he was speechless for a long time. When the other person stared at him in shock, even greater shock swept over Gu Nankai at that moment.
The person who opened the door did not seem to realize that he would meet Gu Nankai at this time. He wanted to go in and close the door again in a panic, but when he had already taken a step back, he realized belatedly that it was no use hiding now.
A few minutes later, Gu Nankai and Pei Yi appeared in front of Ren Yiyuan together. Ren Yiyuan looked at the two of them and nodded to Pei Yi to indicate that it was okay and it was time to let Gu Nankai know the truth. Gu Nankai just stared blankly at this teacher whom he respected and loved, and suddenly he wondered if he had never understood him.
The three of them sat in the tea room, Ren Yiyuan still brewed tea as usual, but Gu Nankai only then discovered that his hands were trembling slightly when he was brewing tea today. Does this also mean that under his calm appearance, his heart is also shaken? Is it because of his sudden visit, because of the secret in his heart? Is it because he is finally going to tell everything?
Gu Nankai had no idea. The only thing he knew was that he was hiding something from him.
Why did he secretly send people to protect him all this time? Why did he train him to be a policeman? Why did he worry more than anyone else when something happened to him but never came out to see him?
There were so many questions that Gu Nankai suddenly didn't know how to start. After a long silence, he looked at Pei Yi and asked, "Are you the one who saved me when I was in danger?"
Pei Yi subconsciously glanced at Ren Yiyuan before answering, but Gu Nankai spoke again: "No need to deny it, I recognize your scars, although not all of them, but I can recognize them."
Pei Yi had no choice but to nod and say nothing more.
"You asked me not to investigate Liangzi's text messages anymore. It was you who asked him to send them, right?" Gu Nankai looked at Ren Yiyuan and asked.
Ren Yiyuan drank a sip of tea by himself, and then he felt more at ease. He looked at the person opposite him, and instead of answering his question, he smiled and asked, "Have you discovered the secret of the famous brand?"
Gu Nankai didn't expect that he would take the initiative to ask this question. He was a little surprised for a moment, but Ren Yiyuan continued, "You look surprised, but I originally planned to tell you this when you discovered the secret of the famous brand. I didn't expect you to discover it so quickly. If possible, I would rather you never discover it in your life."
Gu Nankai's doubts grew deeper and deeper, and his brows knitted tightly. At this time, Pei Yi said, "Teacher, should I step aside?"
Ren Yiyuan shook his hand: "No, you just stay here, this day will come eventually."
Pei Yi continued to sit there. Gu Nankai felt hurt when he saw them seeming to know everything while he was completely blank. He couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
Ren Yiyuan smiled like a loving father: "You have been impatient since you were young. I thought you had changed over the years, but I didn't expect that you still retain some of your childhood habits in your bones."
Gu Nankai was stunned again.
Ren Yiyuan didn't care and pointed at Pei Yi: "Do you see him? He looks very familiar, right? Ever since you became a policeman, he has been protecting you in secret whenever you were in danger."
Gu Nankai looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar person. He had saved him many times when he was in danger. Everyone knew that Gu Nankai was really lucky, but no one knew that he was lucky only because this person had always saved him in dangerous moments.
Looking at Pei Yi, Gu Nankai had mixed feelings in his heart, but he didn't know what to say. A simple thank you was too little, but he felt he was not qualified to say anything else.
"He was just like you, he came from that place, but he wasn't as lucky as you. See the scar on his face? He cut himself when he couldn't control his own strength. He almost lost half his life, but he managed to survive with great difficulty."
Gu Nankai was extremely shocked. He looked at Pei Yi in disbelief, unable to utter a word. Only shock remained in his eyes.
"Nan Kai, there is something I need to tell you. No matter what happens after you know the truth, I have to tell you."
Ren Yiyuan looked at Gu Nankai with a sharp gaze and said.
"You are not a child without parents. You never were."
Gu Nankai was shocked again. These few short sentences overturned his understanding of the past few years. Gu Nankai didn't dare to think about what Ren Yiyuan meant by this sentence, but he couldn't help but open his mouth: "What is the relationship between us?"
"Father and son, a true father-son relationship. You are my biological son."
Gu Nankai felt that the blood in his body stopped flowing in an instant. He just stared at Ren Yiyuan blankly. The words "father and son" hit his heart at that moment. He didn't know what feeling it was. It was a kind of resentment that suddenly came out, but it was followed by a trace of joy and steadiness. However, the panic that followed made him unable to utter a word at this moment.
"I have dealt with Yamamoto for many years. Because of my identity as a drug enforcement police officer, I didn't dare let others know who your father was since you were born. I was afraid that you would be hurt. I have too many enemies. Once someone knew your identity, I couldn't imagine the consequences of losing you."
"But Yamamoto still found you and kidnapped you. You don't know how devastated I was when I heard the news."
It took Gu Nankai a long time to digest the information in Ren Yiyuan's words, and he was unable to utter a word for a long time.
"When you were kidnapped by Yamamoto, the teacher sneaked into their base alone to save you, but because of me, he didn't have more time to save you. The two of us escaped half-dead, and the teacher only found out that you were saved by Master Huo Jiu when you escaped."
At this time, Pei Yi spoke up, looking at Gu Nankai, and continued, "In fact, he could have not saved me. If he had saved me, it would have been a question whether he could get out at that time, but he still saved me."
Gu Nankai didn't know how to answer. He knew very well that if he was the one who saved the person at that time, he would not be able to not save the person if there was someone looking at him eagerly.
"I was so excited when I knew that you were saved by Master Huo Jiu. I really wanted to recognize you, but reason told me that if you stayed with Master Huo Jiu and got rid of your identity as Ren Yiyuan's son, you would live a better life in the second half of your life. But I couldn't help seeing you. I couldn't help watching you grow up.
I found Master Huo Jiu. I know that his son was also killed by Yamamoto. We have a common enemy, so we reached a consensus. I learned from him that you were holding the name tag tightly when you escaped. You are my son. I know that it is definitely unusual for you to carry that thing when you escaped. When I checked the name tag, I found what you hid inside. "
Ren Yiyuan felt extremely guilty towards him, but he didn't know where to start, so he simply stopped talking and just answered the original question that had arisen from his trip.
