Prison Island

Chapter 396 Unsolvable Conflict
Wan Kai's eyes turned red, and he slumped in his chair as if a bone had been pulled out of him.

"How is this possible?"

He could only keep saying that this was impossible, but he actually believed it in his heart.

Because it explains a lot.

He just said that Gao Long would never be on guard against his brothers until his death. If that was the case, why would he hide an illegitimate daughter?

Niu Wang also said that when the news about Gao's orphan came, everyone thought it was made up by Wan Kai, which showed that no one really knew that Gao Shu existed.

Gao Shu's life story was kept secret too much, even to his brothers Wan Kai and Lu Zhao, who were willing to die together with him, but Gao Long refused to tell them.

It's not that he is wary of his brothers or has a backup plan, on the contrary... he is just too guilty.

Naturally, he didn't dare tell anyone about his illegitimate child with his brother's wife. He could only find a cook to help raise him secretly.

Gao Xin said, "Wan Kai, you were right when you said that Gao Long collapsed and was in despair when he was betrayed."

"But you're wrong to say he didn't know he was going to die."

"From his perspective, he probably thought he was doomed to die... or even more so, he wanted to die."

"He thought that Lü Zhao knew about Gao Shu, so he asked you to rescue Gao Shu at that time. Otherwise, according to what you said, he always believed that Lü Zhao would not kill him, so why was he afraid that Lü Zhao would settle accounts with his children?"

Wan Kai remained silent.

Yes, according to what we know now, Lu Zhao was only making a military remonstrance at that time.

The brothers have such a good relationship. If Gao Long could calm down a little and handle the situation calmly, he would most likely be able to talk things out on the spot.

For example, Gao Long said he would take a step back and said: Okay, since you guys reacted so strongly, it seems I didn’t think enough. We are all brothers, why does it have to come to this?
According to King Niu, as long as he gave in, Lu Zhao would definitely give him this opportunity, and would even apologize: saying that I had to do this, but it was wrong after all, and I was willing to accept the punishment.

In short, given the level of unity at the time, there were many possible outcomes.

But it went to the most extreme one.

The reason is that Gao Long felt too guilty.

From Gao Long's perspective, he believed there were two reasons for the betrayal, one was high mathematics, and the other was opposition to nuclear explosions.

He was already devastated, and with the guilt he felt, he collapsed even more...

Lu Zhao didn't mention this matter during the whole process, so he naturally wouldn't mention it either, otherwise wouldn't it embarrass Lu Zhao in front of so many brothers?
He believed that the two of them had a tacit understanding not to talk about advanced mathematics, but only about nuclear explosions.

Gao Long did not even want to run away. After arranging for Wan Kai to rescue Gao Shu, he chose to stay and die. In fact, he wanted Lu Zhao to kill him. He probably thought it was good to die at the hands of Lu Zhao.

As far as the issue of advanced mathematics was concerned, it was as if he had lost his family and brothers in an instant, and he didn't want to live anymore.

All that was left was his career, and since he was going to die soon, he was unwilling to give up the nuclear explosion plan no matter what.

You must even do this before you die to realize your final value.

But perhaps Lu Zhao's sword was too fast, or he hesitated, so he failed in the end.

Gao Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "I even suspect that Gao Long was just deliberately saying that he wanted to have a nuclear explosion immediately, but he actually had no intention of actually detonating it."

"He said that to give Zu Lu Zhao a reason to kill him."

"After all, if he had handled the situation calmly and taken a step back to talk to people, how could Lu Zhao have killed him?"

"Isn't that just a deliberate attempt to keep alive and force Lu Zhao to talk about the matter of advanced mathematics in public?"

"Gao Long didn't want to do this. He wanted to keep some dignity for his brothers, so he deliberately pushed it to the extreme and chose to die in Lu Zhao's hands in the nuclear explosion."

The scene fell into silence.

Everything works.

Based on their understanding of Gao Long, they had to admit that Gao Xin's final speculation was the most appropriate.

Otherwise, if Gao Long wanted to live, he would have had many choices, but he refused to listen and forced Lu Zhao to kill him.

Even the Bull King said that he went crazy in the end, but in fact he was not crazy, he was deliberately seeking death and pretending to be crazy.

"Why...why...it's impossible!" Wan Kai cried.

He collapsed. He could never have imagined such a thing, Gao Long actually had an affair with Lu Zhao's wife. This was even more unbelievable to him than when he saw Lu Zhao betray him.

Is brotherhood fake? No, it is not.

It can be seen from Gao Long's choice that he wanted to maintain his brother's dignity until his death, and he decisively went to his death based solely on a guilty guess.

As soon as Lu Zhao and others started to take action, they said something against his nuclear explosion, and he fought to the death. He said in his heart: Brother, don't say anything, I understand, I will let you kill me openly now.

Without any nonsense.

As long as Gao Long doesn't want to die, even if Lu Zhao tells him about Gao Shu, he won't die! At most, it's because the brothers can't do it, and other people won't let Gao Long die, and they may even persuade Lu Zhao.

This proves that Gao Long's brotherhood with Lu Zhao was sincere, and he wanted to die at Lu Zhao's hands and put an end to the matter.

But the question is, since Gao Long cares so much about his brothers' relationship, why did he have an affair with his wife in the first place?
I'm afraid only Gao Long and that woman know about this.

"Who is that Aunt Tang?" Gao Xin asked.

The Bull King said, "We all call her Little Sister Tang, but she is also a veteran. She is a newcomer we received from the shore on the eve of World War II. She is an SSR, so she is trained with emphasis."

"She learns everything quickly. She is the only one who can learn all of Lü Zhao's sword moves. The two of us can combine our swords together. We are a perfect match."

Gao Xin pondered and said, "Is the relationship good?"

Niu Wang and Wan Kai looked at each other and said, "It's hard to say..."

Gao Xin's mouth twitched: "What do you mean it's hard to say? Does this mean it's not very good?"

Wan Kai explained: "Lü Zhao has always been very loyal to his sword. My eldest brother has two children, but he has not married yet. We once said that this wooden man would never get married in his life."

"In the end, he actually married Tang Xiaomei. We were all very surprised at the time. We said this woman was amazing. She could even melt the hardest sword in Tangren City..."

"But Lü Zhao is a man who is devoted to becoming stronger and managing the affairs of Tangren City. Moreover, once a war breaks out, Lü Zhao is always in charge, while my eldest brother is in charge of the distribution of Tangren City."

"Lü Zhao never had a child, so I think it's hard to say what their relationship was."

"I know. It must be that Tang Xiaomei was angry and took advantage of Lu Zhao's absence to harm my eldest brother!"

Gao Xin rolled his eyes and said, "Stop it... Your stance is too biased. I don't want to hear you say that."

"Niu Wang, you should tell me." Niu Wang pursed his lips and said, "It's almost the same. After all, it was Gao Long who brought them together..."

"We had a 'Hundred Dragons Overlord' plan at the time. After all, we have a large population, a large number of SSRs, and a large number of eligible men and women to pair up with."

"So Gao Long pushed SSRs to date each other, and incidentally helped many SRs get together. In short, the more Dragon and Elephant Seeds, the better."

"We have a large base, so the increase is also large. Later, when the Third War came, we had so many dragon elephants, and it was the peak of our prosperity!"

"Tang Xiaomei, I remember it was Gao Long who introduced Lu Zhao to each other... He arranged for the two of them to work together and let Tang Xiaomei be his assistant."

"Really? If Gao Long likes this woman, why would he push her to his brother? Even with Lu Zhao's wooden personality, he wouldn't compete with him for a woman."

"As for whether Tang Xiaomei regretted marrying him, I don't know. Anyway, if Gao Shu is really the child of Gao Long and Tang Xiaomei, it can only be when Lu Zhao went to war... Gao Long..."

"Wait a minute, how old is Gao Shu?"

Gao Shu shouted, "I am sixteen years old this year."

Niu Wang was stunned and said, "Sixteen years ago, wasn't that the beginning of World War II?"

"Lü Zhao got married sixteen years ago, right? Gao Shu, what month is your birthday?"

Gao Shu was at a loss: "I don't know."

Wan Kai trembled and said, "Chef Xue doesn't know either, but he knew that it was the end of December when Big Brother brought Gao Shu back."

"Lü Zhao got married in January. Damn it... How could this happen? She got pregnant during marriage."

It was obvious that Wan Kai was trying his best to prove that Gao Long was not wrong, and that it was Tang Xiaomei who married Lu Zhao while pregnant.

However, things went from bad to worse. Lu Zhao got married in January, and in February it seemed that Tang Xiaomei was pregnant with Gao Long's child. This Gao Long was even more cruel.

Gao Xin said, "That's not necessarily true. After all, apart from the two of them, no one knows how old Gao Shu was when he was brought home."

"It's possible. Gao Shu has been brought back for two or three months."

He thought Wan Kai would agree with him immediately, but unexpectedly Wan Kai's face turned pale, and Niu Wang looked at Gao Xin with strange eyes.

Gao Xin was stunned: "What's wrong?"

The Bull King said, "It seems that you don't know, Tai Sui, that a dragon-level baby only takes one month to give birth, an elephant-level baby three months, a tiger-level baby five months, and a wolf-level baby seven months. Only ordinary people need ten months of pregnancy."

"Little Sister Tang was at the Elephant level at that time."

"Ah, this..." Gao Xin really didn't know about this.

After all, he was still a glass man half a year ago. He rose too fast along the way and he really only had a vague understanding of many things.

Gao Xin sighed, "In that case, there is no solution. No wonder Gao Long wants to die. This is indeed his problem."

Wan Kai gritted his teeth and said, "My elder brother must have his own difficulties..."

Ling Sha sneered: "Forget it, is it possible that he, a quasi-dragon king, could be raped?"

"He himself dared to take the responsibility, and asked you to rescue Gao Shu, and he stayed behind to pay with his life. Why are you rushing to help him get away?"

Wan Kai was speechless and had nothing to say.

In fact, he instinctively tried to excuse himself. On the one hand, he trusted Gao Long too much, and on the other hand, it was the inertia of the hatred he had accumulated over the past seven years.

He really never thought that the person he hated to death every day was actually a pure victim...

Put yourself in Lu Zhao's shoes and think about it. He is not only strong but also loyal and tenacious, extremely sincere to the sword and extremely in love with Tangren City.

He is fully focused on becoming stronger and his career, and has no other miscellaneous desires. He is a perfect brother.

Just a few months after getting married, he went out to fight for Tangren City, and secretly stole a home for his good elder brother.

In the end, the eldest brother went mad and died in his hands in order to atone for his sins, bearing the hatred and unjust reputation of many brothers.

Until now, it has been supporting Tangren City and is still famous. I am afraid that he has been feeling guilty all these years, thinking about how to save Gao Long.

It was so miserable... This made Wan Kai want to slap himself for calling him a bastard for so many years.

Gao Xin said: "So the nuclear bomb issue is not a problem, it is easy to solve."

"As long as Lu Zhao believes that Gao Long will not explode immediately after waking up, he will definitely take the initiative to repair Gao Long, and Gao Long will not detonate the nuclear bomb after waking up."

"But we have to tell Lu Zhao about the advanced mathematics... Based on your understanding, what is Lu Zhao's reaction?"

Wan Kai hurriedly said, "No, don't do that yet... Let's think about this matter over time..."

He didn't know what to do. If he told Lu Zhao everything, who knows what the consequences would be.
The worst result is that Lu Zhao turns evil.

Even if there is no such thing, they can't be brothers anymore, Gao Long will be socially ruined, and he may even blame Wan Kai: I paid for this with my life, and just wanted to end it, but you insisted on digging me up and resurrecting me?

Gao Long just didn't want to face Lu Zhao who knew about this, so he would rather die.

As a result, Lu Zhao didn't know about this and kept him alive.

A delicate status quo is now maintained.

But is it always going to be like this? Knowing that Gao Long is still alive, but not saving him? Letting him be half dead forever? And keeping this a secret from Lu Zhao?

That won’t work. They are both his good brothers. He is confused.

Wan Kai was very mad: "What is going on?"

It is difficult for an honest official to handle family affairs, and Gao Xin, an outsider, has no idea how to deal with it. It would be easiest for him to just fight with Lu Zhao, who is a thief...

But Gao Shu said bluntly: "I don't care, I want to find my mother!"

Gao Xin nodded and said, "Well, after all, Tang Xiaomei is still alive. Apart from Gao Long, she is the last person to know everything."

"We are actually just guessing. We must contact her first to decide how to deal with this matter."

"Anyway, let's put it aside for now. Our next priority is to recuperate and conquer the Sea King Port."

"Let's talk about everything after we destroy Neptune Port."
