Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Conduct Another Thorough Investigation

Tang Mubei frowned, "What exactly happened between you and Gu Yan?"

It made his emotions fluctuate so much, he even showed signs of collapse.

Tang Yuxiu slumped back in the chair, covering his face with one hand, an expression of restrained pain, as if he was unable to speak.

It’s not that he didn’t want to say, but that he was unwilling to recall such a cruel fact.

A stack of documents had destroyed his and Gu Yan’s future!

Tang Mubei had an even worse premonition.

After a long time, Tang Yuxiu removed his hand from his face, his wide-open eyes pitch black, hiding all the complex emotions deep within.

"Mu Bei, you asked me before, if Gu Yan and I turned into you and Qiu Ye, what would I do."

Tang Yuxiu was surprised at the words, could it be that a hypothetical question he asked at that time had now come true?!

Could it be that... coincidental?!

"Big brother, I was just asking casually, don’t take it seriously."

Hearing this, Tang Yuxiu glanced at him with a sneer, "Who would be foolish enough to take your kind of words seriously?"

But no matter how unbelievable, things had indeed become real.

At this moment, Tang Mubei didn’t care if Tang Yuxiu was mocking him or not, he cleared his throat and asked, "So, did you and Gu Yan become my hypothetical situation?"

Tang Yuxiu grabbed a folder and suddenly threw it at Tang Mubei, "What does it have to do with you! You don’t have such influence that just by saying it, it would come true."

Tang Mubei quickly dodged the folder, caught it, and threw it back on his desk, "So, what exactly happened to you two?"

"The newly stationed emerging company in Jiang City is from the Yan Family, and Gu Yan’s deceased mother is the daughter of the Yan Family’s old master; Gu Yan is his granddaughter."

"With this layer in between, why are the Yan Family and Gu Yan relatives, yet they target the Tang Family at every turn?"

This must be the reason for Tang Yuxiu and Gu Yan’s breakup.

To make the Yan Family go to any lengths to suppress the Tang Family, it seems like the reason isn’t something simple.

Tang Yuxiu furrowed his brows tightly and said, "The Yan Family is suppressing the Tang Family because they blamed Gu Yan’s mother’s death on Dad, so they can’t stand the Tang Family and want to bring it down."

"So how did her mother die?"

Tang Yuxiu pressed his lips tightly and said, "Because her father died at sea, her mother was overwhelmed with grief and jumped into the sea to follow her father."

Tang Mubei was surprised, "Is this a suicide pact?"

At that time, feelings were apparently so strong that when one party was no longer present, the other couldn’t live on either.

It was like Qiu Ye’s parents too.

When her mother died, her father became despondent, and eventually died as well.

But they left just like that, did they ever consider how their child would live in this world.

In this respect, in the end, they were all selfish, sacrificing their own daughter for their love.

The most miserable, in fact, were Qiu Ye and Gu Yan.

Tang Mubei sighed lightly in his heart and continued to ask, "Since her father died at sea, and her mother died for love, what does this have to do with our Tang Family?"

At this point, Tang Yuxiu’s fists clenched unconsciously, and his eyes flashed a sharp glint.

"The information shows that the survivor returning at that time testified that it was Dad who instigated them to push Gu Yan’s father overboard."

Tang Mubei was shocked, again because of their father.

Qiu Ye’s mother fell from the stairs and became a vegetable, eventually dying, because Tang Feng accidentally lost his grip.

Gu Yan’s father was lost at sea with no remains, due to Tang Feng’s instigation, leading to his mother committing suicide.

So now are both brothers caught in cursed fates?

Both fell in love with those they cannot love.

Both punished for their father’s mistakes, unable to spend their lives with the one they love.

Tang Mubei found it ironic.

He asked, "Is it really confirmed? Are the evidential conclusions in the documents you mentioned correct?"

Tang Yuxiu looked at him, "What do you mean?"

"Big brother, I think you should personally investigate the past events more thoroughly. After all, so many years have passed, whether the Yan Family discovered the real truth, we cannot be certain."

"Anyway, you already know the worst outcome, investigating again won’t add any more harm. Instead, it might bring a sliver of hope. Moreover, Dad is still in a coma and unable to confirm with him directly; it’s better for you to investigate yourself."

Tang Mubei’s words rekindled a hope in Tang Yuxiu.

Indeed, he should investigate once more personally!

He was currently overwhelmed with the sudden information and Gu Yan’s departure, even his ability to think had become dull.

It was something that happened more than a decade ago. Even though the Yan Family was a powerful family, they couldn’t be underestimated, but their power was mostly abroad. Investigating something domestic, and so far back, could it not contain any oversight?

Besides, there was a doubt in the documents.

Why did those returning from the sea initially say it was a maritime accident, but after Gu Yan’s mother’s death, claim it was a conspiracy, accusing Tang Feng?

At the time, Gu Changlin was without parents, had no relatives, and his only close friends were his father and Qiu Ye’s father.

Gu Yan’s mother was also immersed in grief and later died by suicide.

At that time, Qiu Ye’s father had already passed, and his father was the person accused, who would thoroughly investigate a maritime accident? And then discover it was a conspiracy?

If those people had been instructed, they must have benefitted or been threatened beforehand, why would they have bitten back so quickly?

These numerous doubts now all came to Tang Yuxiu’s mind, he noticed them.

Even if these questions weren’t very convincing, he didn’t want to let go of the slightest chance.

Tang Yuxiu immediately dialed the internal line to call in You Shuyang.

You Shuyang initially thought that Young Master Tang was calling him in to settle accounts for privately summoning Second Young Master Tang to give him so-called enlightenment and felt a bit guilty.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, Tang Yuxiu said, "Go and investigate in detail the incident of Gu Changlin’s maritime accident fifteen years ago, remember, don’t miss any detail! No matter how trivial, investigate it thoroughly."

Investigating things, no problem! Assistant You’s specialty!

As long it’s not about settling accounts.

"Okay, Young Master, I will investigate as soon as possible. After all, things from fifteen years ago are quite distant, give me some time."

"Alright, but the sooner, the better, and the more detailed, the better!"

"Understood."

Tang Yuxiu said nothing more, lowering his head slightly, lost in thought.

You Shuyang assessed the situation and tentatively asked, "Young Master, if there’s nothing else, I’ll return to work, there’s especially much to do in these two days!"

Tang Yuxiu waved his hand casually, granting permission, and You Shuyang quickly left the office.
