Chapter 758: The Man On The Tombstone (12)

Nine years ago, she wasn’t even a grown-up yet.

When she thought about how the other team members would get to see what Zi Chuan looked like, whereas she, who was so much closer to him, would not be the first one to see him, she was upset.

When Zi Chuan realized what she was thinking, he laughed and said, “These gatherings are so meaningless, I won’t be going.”

Immediately, Qiao Lian was appeased and said, “Is that because you feel that they are from a virtual world, or is that because of me?”

Zi Chuan replied, “I’ve never treated the friendships that I form in the online gaming world as virtual—the same way I’ve never treated my romance in the games as unreal.”

Those words he said made her heart flutter and her face turn scarlet.

After this, she paid little attention to what happened at the gathering, since she was not attending it.

The people who had attended the event also did not mention if Zi Chuan had gone.

Yet now, according to what the captain was saying, it seemed that Zi Chuan had in fact been… to that very first gathering?

Her eyes narrowed as she grabbed San Lang, who was standing next to her and shifting his gaze with great perplexity between her and Purple Fairy. She asked him, “That gathering nine years ago… Did you attend it? Did Zi Chuan attend it, yes or no?!”

San Lang was startled by her question and cleared his throat. Then he said, “I- I did not attend. I was young at that time and my folks did not let me go.”

Qiao Lian started to feel a sense of panic and a great urge to find out the truth from someone who knew what had happened.

Then she heard the girl next to San Lang speak, “Humph! I was at the gathering nine years ago. Xiao Qiao really struck gold! Monochrome has just said that Zi Chuan was dead, which means that Xiao Qiao must have known it all along, otherwise, why would Monochrome come all the way here to try to seal our lips? Purple Fairy is despicable. So now she’s bringing Zi Chuan back to life?”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Lian quickly asked, “Didn’t he say he wasn’t going to go to that gathering nine years ago? Why did he turn up?”

The girl paused and said after a moment, “I can’t remember as it’s been so long. At that time, the captain received him. Eh… in the end, Zi Chuan did ask us not to mention that he had been there, because he was afraid that Xiao Qiao would be jealous if she found out. He was really good to Xiao Qiao, but…”

Obviously, Zi Chuan had not attended. It was a fake Zi Chuan who had gone.

And the fake Zi Chuan had even known about the deal she had made with the real Zi Chuan. That was why he had told the rest of them not to mention his attendance at the event.

And they had kept their word to him.

All this information left her in a daze.

Who was this fake Zi Chuan?

As she tried to make sense of this, the captain had already gotten into a confrontation with Purple Fairy. “Where is your Zi Chuan from? What Zi Chuan is this? If Zi Chuan were still alive, why is he not speaking up? If you have no proof that this person you’re talking about is really Zi Chuan, I’ll challenge you right to the end.”

The captain straightened his posture right after he said this.

Purple Fairy shrank slightly back before his tall and muscular frame.

The captain looked at Monochrome and said, as he gave the man an icy smile, “You are well aware of my family’s standing. I have time and money. Let me tell you, I will not let this matter go.”

“I established the team. At the time, Zi Chuan trusted me and joined my team. I will ensure accountability in his name.”

“When Zi Chuan was alive, he was a proud man. Now that he is dead, I will not let some impersonator take his place!”

His weighted words fell and resounded through the private room.
