Chapter 256 - Truth (IV)

He had no idea how he was supposed to feel. He had been tricked in a very sly kind of a way by his own father and sister whom he loved and adored the most. He had been creating trouble and hated his innocent friends for years, in fact, he had crossed all the lines and did not deserve calling himself their friends.

Placing his hand on Roger's shoulder, Lucas tried to console him. "I know how you are feeling right now but it's not your fault, in fact, it's nobody's fault. No one knew that this was a part of father's plan, who would have thought that sending you away in the name of work was one of his sly methods?"

Sitting beside Roger, Yichan sighed, "Lucas is right, nobody saw this coming. All these years all of us thought Angella was dead because that is what we were told, who would have thought that things would turn out to be this way."

"This isn't the right time to regret over what had happened in the past Roger, we need to find out what exactly is your father up to," Yufan added.

Balling his hand into a fist, Roger gritted his teeth, "I need to go and confront him, I need to ask him why he did all of this. Why did he play with my feelings this way—"

Cutting him off, Bojing snapped, "And what makes you think that he will tell you the truth? Do you expect a man who has been lying to you for so many years to tell you the truth as soon as you confront him?" Pausing for a while, he continued, "He is after Lucas and is all ready to get him killed, what makes you think that he won't flinch to get you killed after he finds out that you know everything?"

"Brother Bojing is right, you can't act recklessly and get yourself killed. Your father is a very sly and cunning man, we have to be very careful," Guang added.

Looking at everyone, Roger scrunched his brows, "And why the hell do you people care about me? I have done nothing but harmed you and your loved ones for years, you all should want me dead."

Rolling his eyes at him, Muchan snapped, "So what do you want us to do? Capture and beat you to death? We are educated civilians, not hooligans."

"If we hated you, we wouldn't be here telling you the truth and stopping you from doing something stupid," Guiren answered.

"I am not going to lie but I am still quite pissed with what you did to Hannah, Yifie and Yuri. I don't know if I will ever get over it but I can keep that aside until we solve this mess," Yufan explained.

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Roger took a deep breath, "I need to be alone for a while, I cannot deal with anything feeling so muddle headed and weird." Without waiting for anyone's reply, he got and made his way towards his room.

After he left, Guiren glanced at his watch. "I think we should give him some time to think, it's quite late too."

"Hmm you guys did what you were supposed to, now it's his decision," Bojing added.

"You guys should leave, I'll stay for awhile and accompany him," Lucas remarked.

After everyone left, Lucas waited for a while before making his way towards Roger's room.

…..

Inside Yichan's car.

"I heard you asked Yitian to stay with you and Ning?" Guiren inquired.

Yichan sighed and nodded his head, "Yes, I didn't want him to stay all by himself when things are so chaotic. Didn't you and brother Bojing say that Stephan is after him? I just—"

Cutting him off, Guiren chuckled, "Oh God Yi, why can't you just admit that you like that little boy and are trying to be a good big brother."

Scrunching his brows, Yichan frowned, "Of course not, why would I care about him? I am just doing that Ning wants me to."

"Uh huh, I believe you," he chuckled.

Ignoring his sarcastic tone, Yichan decided to change the topic. "Yufan was telling me that the William family is related to the Jiang family in some way, do you think Roger knows anything about it?"

"Lucas doesn't?" When he shook his head, Guiren frowned, "Maybe Roger does but we can't be so sure. But practically speaking, I see no connection between the two families."

"Hmm but there has to be some kind of connection between them, Yufan's lead is never baseless."

Shrugging his shoulders, Guiren nodded his head, "That is true, I guess we just need to wait until Roger approaches us again." Without waiting for his reply, he inquired, "What about that Darwin guy? What are we gonna do about him?"

"Let him be for a while, we will ask someone to interrogate him but I am sure he won't say a word," Yichan answered.

"What are you planning?"

Thinking for a while, he explained, "Well, he came back to the country for this Darwin guy didn't he? I am sure that right now he is looking for ways to find him along with his other friend. We will just give him what he wants and see if he chickens out again."

Understanding that he was talking about his father, Guiren chuckled, "So you are just gonna hand Darwin over to him." When Yichan nodded his head, he added, "Dude, that is like telling them you know everything."

"Uh huh, that is what I am exactly trying to do," Yichan smiled.

…..

TWO DAYS LATER

Ning and Yichan's place.

Evening

"So, how is college?" Ning inquired.

Yitian smiled and nodded his head, "College is great, it is much better than I had expected."

"That is nice, I'm just glad that you are having fun and getting along with others," she smiled.

Just then, aunt Lin arrived and informed them, "There is someone at the door to meet Yitian."

"Who is it aunt Lin?" Yitian inquired.

"It's Wang Liying, she said that she is from your college," she answered.
