Chapter 496: Demon
Yan Xizhao, who had originally sent him to the military headquarters a long time ago to train him, never asked him to go to the military headquarters again, and even accompanied Yan Chen every day.
However, the father and son just sat silently facing each other, as if there were countless galaxies between them.
Of course, Yan Chen did not tell Lingchu all the details, covering up important information and only telling Lingchu a general outline.
"...So after all these years, this matter is still in your mind?" The current outline is enough for Lingchu to understand the situation.
Lingchu couldn't imagine how much impact that picture had on Yan Chen.
He was only a few years old at that time, and he watched his mother die in front of him, falling into disgrace.
Faced with rumors again, anyone else would probably collapse.
Yan Chen hummed lightly, "Maybe."
After the initial collapse, after he calmed down, he actually went to the military headquarters to investigate.
During the time when Skelton committed suicide, Yan Xizhao was indeed having a meeting at the military headquarters.
Even if Yan Xizhao did not do it himself, he instructed others to do it.
That's why those images were created.
So his inner demon is to save Skelton no matter what, before Skelton dies.
It was just closed by him.
Although Jialan now works part-time as Yan Xizhao's personal assistant, until now, the two of them have not done anything that exceeds the rules.
And because of the passage of time, when I read it out, my emotions will become even more intense.
There was even more regret and guilt hidden in his heart.
"Those pictures are not real." Lingchu said slowly: "I can understand you. The blow of that incident was indeed too great, but you have to look forward and should not confine yourself to the inner demons."
Moreover, Yan Chen not only kept this matter in mind.
After so many years, the relationship between Yan Xizhao and Jialan has ceased to be a superior-subordinate relationship.
If it hadn't been for what happened tonight, Yan Chen himself wouldn't have known that it was still hidden in his heart.
But for a long time after that, Yan Chen still felt that Yan Xizhao was inseparable from Skelton's death.
Yan Chen also grew up, and he thought that so much time had passed and he had forgotten about this incident.
Yan Chencai vaguely felt that this incident might have a great impact on Yan Xizhao.
In addition, subconsciously, he still felt that Skelton's death was forced by others.
"This is normal." Lingchu noticed Yan Chen's mood and comforted: "Such a big thing is a huge blow to anyone."
Perhaps, he was thinking that he clearly had a chance to save Skelton, but he allowed Skelton to die in front of him.
The pain will not be forgotten, it will just be buried.
Until later, one time, he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran to the cemetery to visit Skelton, only to see Yan Xizhao lying drunk in front of Skelton's grave.
Those things that are hidden deep in the heart may come out again as long as there is an opportunity.
Unexpectedly, this matter, or rather this conjecture, has always been in Yan Chen's mind.
But Yan Xizhao never revealed it.
Although it is comforting, it seems a bit empty at this time.
However, besides comforting Yan Chen, Lingchu didn't know what to do.
Hearing this, Yan Chen nodded slowly, "I know..."
However, he had long thought that he had let go of this matter, but he did not expect that in his unconscious mind, this matter had long been hidden in his heart.
