“If you can’t bring Xu to me four months later, I can say with confidence that many people working in the business field of Nancheng Group will be affected.”

Li Qinghao knew that Nancheng Lie was threatening him, but meanwhile, he understood how much Nancheng Lie would be hurt if Nancheng Lie couldn’t see Han Mingxu again. Nancheng Group always maintained its dominance of financial markets in the world. If the stocks of Nancheng Group were shaken, one third of the enterprises in the world would go out of business, and there would be a large number of people involved.

“Trust me, I will tell you Han Mingxu’s whereabouts four months later.” He only needed four months.

There was a heavy, pregnant silence in the room. Li Qinghao tried to break the weird atmosphere between them.

“Since we reach an agreement, can you tell me why you suspect Keqi’s identity and firmly believe that he is not Han Mingxu?” Keqi looked exactly like Han Mingxu. Even Li Qinghao sometimes felt that maybe Keqi was Han Mingxu and everything he had gone through was just a dream.

Nancheng Lie answered, “Because he is so much like Xu.”

“What do you mean by that?” Since they were so much alike, it must be difficult to tell one from the other.

“Do you know the difference between human and machine?” Nancheng Lie closed his eyes and continued, “Man is flesh and blood. Machines work according to procedure. People’s habits can change at any time. I have a feeling that everything about Keqi is a copy of Xu. He specifically mentioned our past, our childhood and his hobbies just to tell me that he was Han Mingxu. He was trying to convince me to believe him, but I know Xu well. Xu never explains to others. Keqi tried to explain, and it means that he felt that I was wondering about him. Obviously, he has a guilty conscience because he knows clearly that he is not Xu.”

Nancheng Lie…

“But he looks exactly like Xu. When I stared at his face and heard him talk about the past, I couldn’t quite believe he was not Xu.”

‘I would fall into the same predicament as Nancheng Lie if I was in his position,’ Li Qinghao thought to himself.

“Do you remember that day when you came out of the hotel and met me?” Nancheng Lie’s thoughts wandered back to the past. “That day was the beginning of my doubt.”

“Oh aye. Yeah.”

“That day I brought you to my house. You fell asleep on the sofa. When I put a blanket over you, I found that your upper body was covered with scars,” said Nancheng Lie.

Li Qinghao quickly replied, “Li Qinghao has been pampered since childhood, and you two made love several times. You know clearly that there were no scars on his body two years ago. So what caused his scars? The only explanation is that in the car accident two years ago he rolled down the hillside and the sharp stones scratched his body.”

“Yes, but this is just one of the possibilities. It’s also possible that you’re not Li Qinghao.” Nancheng Lie looked at the man in front of him. He had put all the cards on the table. At this moment, he finally confirmed that this man was not Li Qinghao. So, who was this man?

Li Qinghao raised an eyebrow. From the very beginning he had no intention of pretending to be Li Qinghao, at least not in front of Nancheng Lie.

“So?”

“I stole some hairs from you and Keqi for DNA testing. Can you guess what the result is?” asked Nancheng Lie.

“There’s absolutely no doubt that Li Qinghao’s DNA is partly inherited from his father. The result is that Li Qinghao is Mr. Li’s biological son, right? As for Keqi…” Li Qinghao’s heart was thumping wildly. He felt very nervous. Suddenly he had a brainwave. “Don’t tell me Keqi has the same DNA as Han Mingxu.”

Nancheng Lie smiled instead of answering him. Obviously, Li Qinghao guessed right.

Li Qinghao was a student of medicine. He knew clearly that there was only one reason why two people had the same DNA.

“Keqi and Han Mingxu are twins?” They looked exactly alike. They had the same DNA. If they were not the same person, Keqi must be Han Mingxu’s twin brother.

‘Keqi and I are twins? No!’ Subconsciously Li Qinghao denied this possibility. ‘If so, why did he killed his twin brother? That day in Mu Yinting’s laboratory I used the brain wave sensor to copy what Li Qinghao saw just before his death. It turned out that Keqi thrust a dagger into my chest. Why? Why did he do that? Was it because he wanted the throne of Leiluo Kingdom? That is to say, he knew long ago that I’m his twin brother and the heir of Leiluo Kingdom. How could he have the heart to kill me? No…’ Li Qinghao thought to himself.

He felt a sharp stab of pain in his heart. To be honest, he felt even more miserable than when he knew Keqi killed him. If they were not related by blood, it could be understandable that Keqi killed him for the throne. But they were… they were brothers!

 

Li Qinghao could not accept the result. He ran out of the room in his pajamas.

“Hey, where are you going?” Nancheng Lie watched Li Qinghao’s back disappear and had a sense of foreboding. He felt that something was going to happen.

Li Qinghao ran wildly out of Keqi’s palace. The servants in the palace of the crown prince knew that Li Qinghao was Keqi’s noble guest, so they dared not stop him. Some imperial guards wanted to stop him, but considering that he had once appeared with Keqi and Mr. Ao, they hesitated.

“Where is Keqi?” Li Qinghao took hold of a guard by the arm, his face as black as thunder.

“Ke… Keqi?”

“Prince Keqi. Where is Prince Keqi?”

“He’s there…”

Li Qinghao loosened his grip on the guard’s arm and ran in the direction indicated by the guard.
