Rebirth of Brotherly Love

Chapter 68

An Yu Dong smiled and said word by word, "So, you think that your uncle and your mother's death was caused by me?"

An Luo didn't answer.

An Yu Dong was silent a moment, then sighed lightly and said, "Xiao Luo, I have all along been very upset and guilty over your mother's and Yu Qiu's death. These few years, I have tried my best to look after you, provide you the best living conditions and go along with all your wishes, just to make up for some of the mistakes of that year and allow your mother to rest in peace."

Hearing him say that, An Luo felt slightly surprised but even more, he felt relieved.

Mother's death had nothing to do with him. This was for the best, after all he was his father...if it was really him, An Luo would not know how to face him.

An Yu Dong was again silent for very long, then explained softly, "I first knew them when I was in high school. Lin Shi Dong and Xu Zi Ming, the three of us were best of friends. Later, Shi Dong's father had a large gambling debt, and at that time, the An family was facing difficulties due to cash flow problems. Your grandpa was constantly running around for the whole day. I was no help and very worried..."

"That year, the police underwent a large scale wipe out, and all the heads of the largest local drug trafficking organizations were captured. I'm not sure how, but Xu Zi Ming managed to find out about the drug sales channel and discussed it with the two of us, to use our three family's background as a cover to traffic drugs for money."

"At that time, Shi Dong and I were too young, also urgently in need of money, in addition to having the Xu family's power as a cover. We didn't carefully consider it before going with Zi Ming to sell the first batch of drugs. I didn't know that the profits from drugs would be even more than I imagined..."

At this, An Yu Dong paused, then sighed lightly and lowered his voice, "People are all greedy. Once you have fallen into such a trap, it's just like being addicted and there's no way to easily get out of it."

"From then on, the three of us cooperated and the drug trafficking scope became wider and wider. The sum of money in the bank account was growing continuously, but around the time when your youngest brother An Ze was born, I was feeling increasingly uneasy. I was afraid that my actions would implicate the entire An family, so I sent Bi Zhen, An Yan and An Ze to live in France, hoping that they would not be implicated. At that time, you were living with your mother and I was more at ease that you were with her..."

"One day, your 2nd uncle suddenly came to look for me at the hotel. He didn't knock before entering my office and saw me coming out from the secret room. After he found out about this matter, he was furious and wanted to tell Father and even wanted to report it to the police..."

"I persuaded him not to be impulsive and to sit down for further discussion, but he would not listen and insisted on Father stepping in. I knew that Father was an honest and strict person. If he knew that I was involved in drug trafficking, he would surely not forgive me and even possibly drive me out of the family...I had no choice but to tell Zi Ming about this. Zi Ming said, it's alright, he would deal with the situation."

"I never thought, his method of dealing with it would be..." An Yu Dong suddenly broke off.

An Luo looked at his father and continued, "Would be murder to silence someone?"

An Yu Dong nodded, his face twisted in pain.

"It was also from that day onward that I realised his true identity. He had secretly formed the Illuminati long before Shi Dong or I knew about it. He had big ambitions and wanted the Illuminati to control drug trade for the whole of Asia. In order to carry out this "major event", he did not hesitate to create a car accident and fake his death in the hospital to let Xu Zi Ming's identity completely vanish. From then on, other than Shi Dong and I, everyone else in the Illuminati only knew the nickname San Ye, but not his real identity. I'm afraid that in the end, he will not let even me and Shi Dong off."
