The Genius Doctor, My Wife, Is Valiant

1296 1296: Eddie’s Faith

After killing Hawkins, they headed off to visit Eddie.

Those who guarded the area were friends with AO2 and the Hess family. The head of the Hess family, Vincent, had already given authority to Zhan Lichuan and Du Yanzheng, which was why the three of them could walk into the prison as if it were their own home.

Eddie received the news about Hawkins’s death.

He had already sent over 50 mercenaries to protect him. Along with the 20 men that Hawkins brought along, no ordinary men would be able to kill him.

However, Hawkins still ended up dead.

Hawkins was his nephew, after all. Eddie was still shocked for a long time after hearing about it.

Most importantly, he heard that there was no one injured from the other party.

What did that mean?

This meant that all 100 of Hawkins men did manage to hurt Zhan Lichuan, Du Yanzheng, or Jinqian. Even their men walked out unharmed, but all of Hawkins’ men had died.

How powerful would they have to be in order to achieve this?

...

Eddie thought about it to himself. If it was him who tried to kill Hawkins, he could only ensure his own life. He wouldn’t be able to keep all of his men unharmed and alive.

Therefore, when the three of them appeared before him, he wasn’t surprised.

“To be able to get these people under your control… I would really like to know, how did you do this?” Eddie couldn’t help but ask.

Inside one of the conference halls, Eddie received the same treatment as Hawkins. They did not look like criminals who were in prison.

They were seated in the living room. This place even had a separate bedroom and kitchen. Despite how they had done horrible things and there were countless countries asking for them to bear the responsibilities of their actions, they were still able to live a luxurious life in prison.

None of the wardens would dare to be disrespectful towards Eddie.

All of the men here worked for Eddie.

Zhan Lichuan quickly said, “My brother and I have the abilities to do so.”

Eddie raised his brows as he questioned, “Oh? Then, could you tell me how you both did this? Is the AO2 and Sanctuary helping you, or perhaps the Di family?”

Zhan Lichuan pulled out a voice changer machine from his pocket and said, “Mr Eddie, you should be familiar with this voice?”

When Zhan Lichuan addressed him as Mr. Eddie, his pupil narrowed unconsciously.

...

He was definitely familiar with this voice!

It was the one that had always appeared in his nightmares!

The man who built the entire AO2 in less than 10 years and instantly became the richest man on earth.

Eddie’s eyes were opened wide as he pointed at Zhan Lichuan, “You… You!”

After repeating the same thing a few times, he lowered his arm.

Zhan Lichuan turned out to be the mysterious director of AO2.

He turned towards Du Yanzheng, and he wanted to ask- How did your brother turn out to be the director of AO2?!

However, when he looked at Du Yanzheng, there was a mask across his face.

He definitely knew who he was now!

For years, the Hess family had been in contact with the head of the Sanctuary. The person whom they had been close to turned out to be Du Yanzheng!

He finally figured out why a small shake to the Di family brought such a catastrophic disaster to the Hess family.

...

So…

This was the reason why.

As he thought of what he had done to AO2 and thought of how he used to work with Du Yanzheng, chills ran down his spine.

Why is it that the Hess family was so badly beaten when fighting the Di family? Why was it that the other wealthy families in the Centrals kept their mouths shut when they saw that he was in trouble, even when they had a good relationship with the Hess family?

All of these questions were answered when he found out that Zhan Lichuan was the mysterious man who owned AO2 and that Du Yanzheng was Z from the Sanctuary.

Eddie closed his eyes as he thought about his current situation.

His son, Vincent, hated him and only wanted to work for his father, Bachard. The only help that he had was his younger brother, who had killed himself during such a critical moment. He even passed all of his men to Zhan Lichuan and Du Yanzheng. Jiali had been arrested and Hawkins killed. Bachard and Di Jinqian were in control of the Medical Federation. The others were just watching this situation from awareness, afraid of offending any one of the parties. They would only pick a side once they saw who was the victor.

He knew that he had nothing left.

He was the head of the Hess family, but when everything was in chaos, he was thrown into prison and there was nothing that he could do.

If all of these events came individually, he would have been able to save himself.

However, with his brother and son betraying him and knowing that both AO2 and the Sanctuary were involved…

...

Eddie thought about the things that he could do, but he finally admitted that there was nothing to be done.

Eddie was someone who knew how to read the situation.

Just like back then, when he was the eldest but their grandfather doted on Jiamo. He wanted Jiamo to be the next head of the family and even raised her to be one.

Back then, he had his grandfather pressuring him, his father watching him, and Jiamo being even more outstanding than him. All he could do back then was back off in order to save his life.

After 28 years, he was facing the same question.

This time, although everything had crumbled, Eddie knew what was more important to him now.

He spoke in a calm tone and said, “I wasn’t the one who killed Jiamo. I once suspected that it was Jiali and tried asking her twice, but I realized that while she had tried to harm the both of you, she wasn’t the one who killed Jiamo.

“I have never been close to El and I couldn’t ask him anything. Now that he’s dead, we have no evidence left. However, I can swear to both of you that while I do have the motives to kill Jiamo, I am not the one who did it.”

With that said, Eddie looked at his nephews, who were both incredibly outstanding, and he looked a little envious.

Jiamo had such brilliant sons but he didn’t.

“El suddenly died. Does that have to do with you? Did he tell you anything?”

...

Seeing how Eddie had misunderstood El, Zhan Lichuan didn’t want anyone to misunderstand their uncle. Afterall, even if they did not have much love for the Hess family, El had been protecting their mother and them.

“Eric was the one who killed my mother.”

Eddie was shocked at first, but as he thought about how his father was, he felt that it was indeed possible.

“That’s understandable. This must be why Jiali never admitted to it, despite me asking her several times. So, El was the one who killed your grandfather?”
