It is now impossible to say who was right or wrong in this matter.
The situation has progressed to this point, and regret is now useless.
In that instant, Gu Qingyang seemed to age by decades. His rigid spine slowly bent.
"Let's go to the company. I want to see him too."
Gu Qingyang's voice trembled. Gu Tongbao lowered his head, tears streaming down his eyes.
He had never imagined that he was not related by blood to them. Or rather, all three brothers had their suspicions. Gu Tongbao was definitely the biological son; there was no need to say more.
But in the end, the one most likely to be the biological son was not. He was the child of the deputy captain.
This news was a tremendous shock to Gu Tongbao. Or rather, no one could have anticipated this outcome.
A group of people arrived at Tongbao Building by car. At this moment, in the secret room, Wan Tongbao was lying comfortably on the sofa, watching the scene on his phone. His heart chilled to the bone, and his eyes held a look of resolute determination.
"Why, why did you betray me again? We are brothers! Did you really betray me like this?"
"And Father, why did you come with them? Why did you choose to have me arrested this time? I am your son! Could it be that I am not really your biological son?"
"Heh heh heh, indeed. From childhood, you only liked Gu Tongbao. Whatever he ate, played with, or drank, he always enjoyed it first. My brother and I could only drink the leftover soup, and sometimes not even that. How could a biological father be so cruel to his own child?"
"Since that's the case, then none of us will live today. We'll all die together! My dear brother! How could you possibly know that this Tongbao Building was built by me? I've already bought countless TNT explosives below, hahahaha!"
Wan Tongbao's eyes radiated intense hatred. The years had made his mind more profound and colder. Perhaps he had long suspected this answer, but dared not believe it.
Because the facts were indeed so. Who would want to believe it?
But seeing them all come together now, his heart truly grew cold.
Only the thought of mutual destruction remained.
"Come! Come all of you! You're here, let's all die here together, hahahaha!"
His madness instilled fear and terror.
As the door to the secret room slowly opened, four figures stood at the entrance.
And he stood behind the table, his expression filled with madness.
"Son..."
Upon seeing him, Gu Qingyang's tears flowed like an old man's. Drop by drop, his eyes fell, shattering on the ground like his own heart breaking into pieces at that moment.
"Don't you dare call me son, do you deserve it? What kind of father personally escorts his son to the Dragon Investigation Bureau? What kind of father never cared about his son since childhood? Your son is the one standing next to you. Now I have only one name, I am Wan Tongbao, I don't have the surname Gu! Or you can call me by another name, I am a criminal, an S-class criminal, hahahaha!"
In Wan Tongbao's eyes, ferocity and struggle appeared almost simultaneously, indicating that he still had some conscience, though not much.
"Ye Longlin, Grand Marshal Ye!"
"I never imagined that a mere S-class war criminal like me could attract a celestial figure like you. Is it my honor, or my misfortune? The Grand Marshal, the only five-star Grand Marshal of Daxia, and also the youngest Grand Marshal in history. I, Wan Tongbao, truly feel honored!"
Wan Tongbao laughed wildly, as if he looked down on everyone now.
Ye Longlin spoke calmly, "You have indeed misunderstood your father. I will give you half an hour."
This was a sign of respect for a retired soldier.
Gu Tongbao looked at the fat man in front of him with complex emotions. After a long silence, he spoke with a complicated tone, "Brother, we have all misunderstood Father these years. In fact, you and third brother are the biological sons. I am not related by blood to you. You also know that Father was a retired soldier. Father once served in the special forces. My father was the deputy captain of the special forces. In a past mission, my father died protecting your father. At the same time, a failed mission led to retaliatory actions by the criminal group against our families and your father's family. My mother and your mother died in this retaliation. My entire family perished. At that time, I was just an infant in swaddling clothes. Your father adopted me. For all these years, he feared I would discover that I was not his biological son, so he doted on me and cared for me excessively, neglecting your and third brother's feelings. I am sorry to both of you. If it weren't for me, none of this would have happened. It was me who led you down this path of no return. Look at this adoption certificate from back then."
Gu Tongbao placed a certificate on the table. Wan Tongbao picked it up directly. The dates on it all matched. This adoption certificate had an undeniable impact on him, instantly destroying his psychological defenses built over the years. He suddenly looked up, gazing at Gu Qingyang in disbelief, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why? I am your biological son, why would you treat me like this?"
Gu Qingyang's mouth opened, only choked sobs escaping. He couldn't utter a single word.
In the end, Gu Qingyang only managed to say three words: "I'm sorry..."
Gu Tongbao also choked up and said, "Big brother, I've inquired. Your sentence is twenty years, and with this escape, it's a 30-year sentence. By then, you'll be sixty when you get out. Don't worry, your little brother will wait for you. When you get out, I will definitely pick you up... I'm sorry to your entire family... I wouldn't hesitate to give my life back to you."
Wan Tongbao erupted instantly.
"Get out, all of you! Get out as far as you can! I don't want to see you!"
Gu Tongbao knelt directly on the ground, head bowed, not uttering a word.
"I'm not asking you to forgive me. I only hope you can forgive Father. I don't want him to leave with regret."
Wan Tongbao was not a fool. He understood the unspoken meaning of his non-biological brother. By the time he got out, his father would surely be gone. At that point, even if he wanted to say sorry again, he wouldn't be able to hear it. But those three words felt stuck in his throat, neither up nor down.
"Let Grand Marshal Ye come in. I will tell him everything I know. I don't want to see you anymore, so hurry up and get out!"
"There are ten tons of TNT under this building. I will tell you the location, and you can have people come to dismantle them."
