Chapter 658 - Undeniable Proofs

He stared with a blank expression at the bustling scenery of the city outside, yet he could not see nor hear anything in the deserted office. The spacious interior seemed much wider than it already was with its dull emptiness.

After everyone left, Guan Gu Ri stayed in his grandfather\'s office in the presidential floor of the Guan Empire.

He had tried to call Guan Gao Huan. Even though his third brother had suddenly left to solve the matter on his own, how could Guan Gao Huan leave just like that, without telling his elder brother what he would do or where he would be?

This was too careless.

"Headmaster, we gathered the information from the media companies."

His personal butler which was now the head butler came in and approached Guan Gu Ri.

"What about the media?"

"We managed to halt the news channel from spreading the news for now. But the morning news circulated fast in the upper circle. Many journalists and interested parties caught up with it. Our PR team and media management are taking care of it. The relevant people are now deleting their posts. However, Headmaster, although it is only for a short period of time, this was after all broadcasted in the national news. We can\'t stop the news from spreading by word of mouth."

"That\'s fine. Just keep an eye on it. The person who started this won\'t surely stop after the first wave. I believe there might be a second or a third. What about the impact on the stock market?"

"Because we immediately gave an official statement that this was fake news orc.h.e.s.trated to harm the Guan Empire, we managed to stop the worst from happening. We are still stable."

"Good. Any news from my second brother?"

"We haven\'t found Second Young Master Xixin yet, Headmaster."

Guan Gu Ri frowned.

Where are you, second brother?

Did you really do this?

Even though Guan Xixin hated Guan Gao Huan, Guan Gu Ri had always thought that his second brother would never resort to this kind of scheme. Although rebellious, Guan Xixin cared a lot for the Guan family. Guan Xixin would not harm their third brother in a way that would damage the Guan Empire\'s best interests.

But... Guan Xixin was not in the proper state of mind lately. Guan Gu Ri was no longer confident of the previous assumption.

Also, it had always been Guan Xixin who insisted that Guan Gao Huan was a fake.

It might be that after their grandfather\'s death, Guan Xixin decided to become merciless and destroy Guan Gao Huan, no longer caring about the Guan Empire.

Guan Gu Ri was torn inside. His eyes lowered in depression.

Both were his most precious brothers, but this incident would put his two brothers on opposing sides with no hope for redemption.

Inside the empty office, his silhouette was filled with loneliness.

The head butler stared at his master for a long time. He finally decided to speak.

"Headmaster, I know I should not meddle too much in the Guan family\'s matter, but I think you should take a look at the details of the news. I found it too hard to believe, but the proof that they have....is too shocking."

The man stirred.

"What do you mean...?"

The head butler stepped forward and handed to him a file.

Guan Gu Ri looked at it for a long time, took it, and opened the file.

His eyes widened.

It was a doc.u.ment containing Guan Gao Huan\'s transfer admission to the XX hospital. The progress of the surgery and the results showed that his brother\'s brain had no chance of waking up from a comatose state. Although there were faint signs of activity in the auditory cortex of the temporal lobe of the patient\'s brain, other functions had failed, and thus resulted to a permanent coma.

"...What is this.... There was a result like this? Impossible. This must be fake.... Our family did not receive any report like this...."

The medical reports that they received was that Guan Gao Huan fell into a coma because of the shock from the surgery, but the doc.u.ments stated that there was a big chance that he would wake up.

And in a couple of months, as predicted by the doctors, Guan Gao Huan woke up and recuperated for the whole year in the hosptial.

However, in the file, Guan Gao Huan stayed in a coma for at least five months, and likely more.

There were even pictures from the monitoring and corresponding dates in it.

Guan Gu Ri was stunned.

"These medical files and pictures... Have you investigated their validity?"

"For the pictures, we have detected zero signs of changes. They have not been photoshopped. As for the rest... Our personnel already contacted the hospital. However, there was a fire from five years ago that destroyed most of the archived records. The affected data included files from the period when the third young master was admitted and operated on. We asked for the data logs in their database, but prior to that incident, a hacker took advantage of the situation and deleted most of the files, including the monitoring logs. The hospital lost a lot of money and information at that time."

!!!

....It was too much of a coincidence.

Badump. Badump.

Guan Gu Ri\'s heart pounded loudly, too loud that he could hear it hammering on his ears.

How could there be so much coincidence in the world...!

Did grandfather not receive any kind of this news? It might be a mere tiny offhand detail, but if they ever doubted Guan Gao Huan\'s experience during the time he stayed in the hospital, the first thing that they would look at was the credibility of the medical records and the monitoring videos that they possessed.

But with them gone, how could they get the proof that Guan Gao Huan indeed was stuck in a comatose state in the hospital? Where did all these alleged evidences come from?

"The doctors... They must know. We can interrogate them. How about the doctors?"

The head butler pushed up his glasses. The silver frames glinted as he honestly told his master the detail that he found the most suspicious.

"Headmaster, all of the doctors assigned to Third Young Master Gao Huan at that time were dead, either from an accident or unknown disease. All of them."

Guan Gu Ri: !!!

A clap of thunder boomed loudly in his head.

His blood turned cold.

There were no records from the monitoring cameras or hard files, because of a fire accident and a hacking incident.

And now, even the doctors assigned on his brother all died....

Separately, they did not arouse much doubt of a conspiracy.

But altogether, when viewed from his third brother\'s controversial identity....

It was as if someone had cleaned up everything regarding his third brother\'s stay in the hospital at the period he was allegedly in a coma.

A biting chill covered Guan Gu Ri as an ominous premonition entered his mind.

He trembled and shook his head in denial. "No... No! We checked a few times. We checked his DNA several times!"

The head butler felt distressed for his master, but he still persuaded him.

"Headmaster, please calm down and continue on reading."

The hand holding the file shook faintly.

There was more?

Guan Gu Ri swallowed, slowly lowered his eyes, and continued reading the file.
