Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

The four of Dongli were originally slumped on the ground, with their heads down and motionless, as if all their energy had been drained away. They were like silent statues, until Ji Xingyuan's words broke the silence, and they reacted.

But they did not respond to Ji Xingyuan, instead their eyes slowly turned to Gu Tu who was sitting diagonally opposite them.

Dong Li slowly stood up, holding onto the wall. He stared at Gu Tu's unfamiliar face and said in a trembling voice, "Uncle Qiu, are you...really...Gu Tu?"

He still couldn't believe that Uncle Qiu, who had taught them martial arts since childhood, was the notorious villain in Xuanzhou, Gu Tu.

The man who had been sitting still for a long time finally moved a little. He slowly opened his eyes and responded in a very hoarse voice: "It's me."

Dong Li suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, staggered back to the ground, and kept muttering: "How could it be, how could it be, how could Uncle Qiu be Gu Tu..."

"Eleven years ago, I left Xuanzhou to escape from pursuit. After I accidentally killed Lan Yi, I wanted to die and only wanted to end my life. It was the former Xuan Lord who found me and stopped me from committing suicide."

As he spoke, Gu Tu slightly opened his fingers, revealing the green thing inside.

He looked at the jade pendant, his eyes became distant, as if he was lost in deep memories.

"He told me that Lan Yi was also being hunted down, and he met her at the time but failed to save her, causing her to get hurt. He felt very ashamed. He advised me to stay alive so that I would have a chance to find the people who were hunting Lan Yi down."

"Because of this, I gave up the idea of ​​suicide, but because of my identity, I would encounter many obstacles when returning to Xuanzhou, and I couldn't investigate anything at all. The former Xuan Lord said that he would investigate for me, and I would stay in Daxia to help him guard Weizhen, and I agreed."

"I put on a human skin mask, changed my face, and used the alias 'Qiu Zhi'. I stayed in the Ji family and stayed with him until he reached adulthood and became strong enough to no longer need me. In addition, I was worried that my true identity would affect him, so I left and went somewhere else..."

It can be said that Ji Xianchen almost grew up under the care of Gu Tu, and Gu Tu really treated him like his own son, teaching him with all his heart.

Gu Tu has been abandoned by his friends and family all his life, living alone and helpless. There are only three people who are important to him. One of them is Ji Xianchen, and the other two are Chen Lanyi and Li Cenyuan, with whom he grew up.

But now, of the latter two, one is dead, and the other has lost his memory, leaving only Ji Xianchen. Gu Tu only wants to do his best to protect him.

He knew that Hua Xi hated him, so before his identity was exposed, he was willing to let Hua Xi kill him, so that he could die as Uncle Qiu instead of 'Gu Tu'.

But things are unpredictable, and his identity was eventually exposed, leading to the current situation, which is what he least wants to see.

The four people from Dongli were so immersed in Gu Tu's narration that they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

It turned out that Gu Tu became their uncle enemy for this reason.

Suddenly, he recalled a scene eight years ago. The four of them, plus Ji Xianchen, were tired from practicing martial arts. When they lay on the ground to rest, they urged Uncle Qiu to tell them some interesting things he had experienced.

At that time, a rare tenderness emerged on Uncle Qiu's face, and he slowly said that he had two good friends who were like family members, and that the three of them had caused a lot of trouble together.

When talking about the past, Uncle Qiu's expression could be said to be the most tender-hearted they had ever seen him.

Therefore, Uncle Qiu’s two good friends were Shen Lanyi and Li Cenyuan. No wonder when they curiously asked him why his two good friends didn’t come to play with him, Uncle Qiu’s face suddenly turned gloomy, as if the most painful scar deep in his heart was touched, and it was very terrifying.

And the final result caused by their curiosity is——

In addition to practicing martial arts for eight hours that day, he practiced for another five hours.

……

"What do you mean? What are you talking about?" Ji Xingyuan listened to Gu Tu saying a string of words he couldn't understand, "What is 'Xuanzhou'? What is this place? Explain it to me clearly!"

At this moment, Ji Xingyuan's emotions completely broke down and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Sister Chaochao is dead, Sister Xi and Brother Yimu broke up with us, and brother is seriously injured and in the operating room," he suddenly stood up, pointed at the door of the operating room with a trembling hand, his chest heaving violently, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Even after all this, you still want to hide it from me and not tell me the truth. Do you think I'm a fool who knows nothing?"

"Master Xingyuan." Luo Han explained, "We didn't hide it from you on purpose, but we didn't know how to tell you."

After all, these things involve martial artists, and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Ji Xingyuan's eyes were red. "I don't know what to say? Just say whatever you want to say. Is that so difficult?"

"Luo Han, tell him everything. You can't hide it." Wen Cong said tiredly.

Luo Han was silent for a moment, and finally slowly explained everything about martial artists.

After hearing this, Ji Xingyuan woke up as if from a dream.

So that's the martial artist.

He recalled the scene when he saw the rain stop around Yi Mu and thought he was seeing things, but it turned out that kind of power really existed.

"So, all of you are martial artists, my brother is one, and so is Sister Xi."

"I don't understand why my brother is a martial artist. Isn't he the son of my uncle and aunt?"

When Luo Han was telling the story, he briefly mentioned the genetic issues of martial artists, so Ji Xingyuan knew that two ordinary people could not give birth to a martial artist.

"Because the third brother is not their biological son."

"Impossible! My brother and uncle look a lot like each other!" Ji Xingyuan retorted without even thinking.

"How is it impossible?" The person who said this was Wen Cong. He slowly stood up and looked at Ji Xingyuan and said, "Isn't it normal for a nephew to look like his uncle?"

Ji Xingyuan stood there in a daze, his mind going blank.

Wen Cong continued, "Your aunt, Ji Yuzhen, is your third brother's biological mother."

Ji Yuzhen, the eldest daughter of the Ji family who had passed away eighteen years ago.

Ji Xingyuan was not born when she died, which means that Ji Xingyuan had never seen his aunt in person.

Ji Xingyuan's expression became confused: "What, my aunt, she is my brother's mother..."

"You have always wondered why Third Brother treats you so well. That's because your father is Third Brother's mother's favorite brother. He tried to raise Third Brother, but he didn't succeed in the end because your mother was pregnant with you at the time and didn't have the energy to take care of another child. That's why Third Brother was raised by Yong Bo."

"Yong Bo" is Ji Xingyuan's uncle, Ji Yongyou, who is also Ji Xianchen's father in the eyes of outsiders.

Eighteen years ago, Fu Lan, the former master of Xuanzhou, brought the five-year-old Fu Weizhen and the body of Ji Yuzhen to the Ji family and asked them to keep Fu Weizhen.

When Mr. Ji saw his daughter's body, he fainted.

After waking up, the old man was filled with grief and anger. He yelled at Fu Lan and asked him why he hadn't protected Ji Yuzhen...

At that time, Fu Weizheng was standing next to them, with red eyes, quietly watching his grandfather beat and scold his father without saying a word.

In the end, the Ji family drove Fu Lan away and left Fu Weizheng.

The Ji family did not welcome Fu Lan, but they loved Ji Yuzhen's only son Fu Weizhen very much and changed his name to "Ji Xianchen".

A family meeting was then held. There were two themes in the meeting. One was to discuss who would raise Ji Xianchen, and the other was to unify the statement. The identity of Ji Xianchen's biological father would be kept strictly secret, as if he was born from the Ji family.

Because he was worried about leaving Ji Xianchen in the care of his brother's children, Mr. Ji planned to choose one from among his own sons.

He had two sons and one daughter. The daughter was naturally Ji Yuzhen, the second child.

The remaining ones are the eldest son Ji Yongyou and the youngest son Ji Mingxu.

Ji Mingxu had actively fought for the custody of Ji Xianchen, but in the end, after comprehensive consideration, Grandpa Ji decided to give Ji Xianchen to Ji Yongyou and his wife, who had been married for six years and still had no children.

However, Ji Xianchen did not have much affection for his "parents".

They were certainly kind to him, but this kindness was not pure. They were more interested in Fu Lan's strength, which was an area they had never touched before.

Ji Xingyuan's father, Ji Mingxu, fought for the custody of Ji Xianchen simply because he wanted to take good care of his sister's child and had no other thoughts.

After learning the truth, Ji Xingyuan fell back into his chair and muttered absentmindedly: "My brother's life experience turned out to be like this..."

For a moment, the amount of information was too great and Ji Xingyuan's brain was unable to digest it.

Seeing this, Wen Cong stopped talking to him and turned his gaze back to Gu Tu, asking the question in his mind: "Uncle Qiu, even if you are Gu Tu, why did you kill Miss Chao Chao?"

He knew very well that if Hua Chaochao had not died, nothing that happened tonight would have happened.

"I don't know." Gu Tu held his head with both hands in pain, his voice full of self-blame and regret, "I only know that I was very angry at the time. She lost the jade pendant and wanted to snatch it from me. Then she fell into the sea. I jumped in to save her, but it was too late. She was already dead."

"So, you didn't kill Miss Chao Chao on purpose. This was an accident..."

God really played a huge joke on me.

"It was because of this accident that Miss Chao Chao passed away, and Third Brother and Miss Hua Xi became enemies from then on..." Wen Cong slowly squatted down and said in despair, "Uncle Qiu, what do you want Third Brother to do in the future..."

"This is all my fault. I will go find Hua Xi and explain everything to her. I will ask her to kill me and compensate Chao Chao for his life." Gu Tu raised his head and said with a firm look in his eyes.

As soon as the words fell, an extremely weak voice sounded: "You are not allowed to go."

The six people who heard the sound looked over at the same time. The door of the operating room was opened at some point, and Ji Xianchen was standing at the door, holding the door frame with one hand, his body a little shaky.

"Brother!" Ji Xingyuan exclaimed.

"Third Brother!"

At this time, the doctor came out, frowning: "The patient refuses to cooperate with the operation, the family members should persuade him."
