A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 139

Brian was astonished, "Traitor? What are you talking about? Bun is an orphan."

"Haven't you ever asked Charles how Bun became an orphan? What happened to her parents, specifically her father? And why the Mu clan adopted her?" Lord Ho's anger began to dissipate upon seeing the confusion in Brian's eyes.

"Grandpa, please make it clear." Brian's anger dissipated as well and his voice took on a serious tone. He looked worried.

"Dick Lu, Bun's father, was the Vice Admiral of the National Navy. He gave away the top secret of National Navy to a nearby enemy country for his personal interest resulting in our Navy suffering great losses in that war. Dick Lu was secretly executed soon after the war." Lord Ho explained, hoping that this news would deter his grandson from seeing the girl.

"Ok. Even if Dick Lu is Bun's father. His betrayal has nothing to do with her!"

Brain was not convinced and Lord Ho's ploy didn't work. "Are you going to marry a woman who comes from a lineage that disgraced their clan! No, I won't allow it. Our family name will not be tarnished because you some foolish notion of love. Now that you are home now, you are not allowed to go out anymore. I forbid you to see that woman again. No grandson of mine will be associated with a traitor, even if it's their child." Lord Ho said, in a matter-of-factly sort of way.

"Grandpa!" Brian's face dropped.

"No more nonsense. Mr. Zhang, please take Young Master to his bedroom and lock the door. He is not allowed to step out his bedroom until the engagement ceremony."

"Grandpa, you can't do this!" Brain was annoyed. He was an adult and the honorable Major General. He couldn't believe his Grandfather was going to lock him up and force him to marry a woman he didn't love.

"Don't try to run away. Even if you enlist your friend Charles Mu to help you, I will make sure that he is dealt with. Don't defy me Brian, or you'll regret it."

Lord Ho's words were final. Brain clenched his fists and a bright flush of anger washed across his face This was not happening to him. He had to say something, he needed to defend their love. But he knew all too well what happens when someone crosses Lord Ho's commands. He had no choice but to accept his fate. He loosened his fists, bent his head and walked towards his bedroom.

Mr. Zhang locked the door when Brain stepped into his bedroom. "Mr. Zhang." Brian called out. Mr. Zhang stopped and responded.

"I am sorry, Young Master. His Lordship instructed me to do this." Mr. Zhang felt awkward. He thought Brain was going to beg him to let him go.

"Don't worry. I understand. I just came back from the force. Would you please buy me a mobile phone?"

"Yes, Young Master, I will go to the shop right away and purchase one for you." Mr. Zhang responded, breathing out a sigh of relief. That was an easy request.

Brain received a new mobile phone and a calling card in less than thirty minutes.

He put the calling card into the mobile phone and dialed a chaotic number, "I'm Brian, code: three two four two. Help me investigate the former Vice Admiral of national navy, Dick Lu. I need all the information you can get on him, including his offspring's."

Moments after the call, Brain felt a sharp pain on his back. He started sweating and his face turned pale. The pain became progressively worse but Brian suffered in silence. Later on, that evening, Mr. Zhang brought Brian dinner. When he opened the door, he noticed that Brian was in bad condition.

"Young Master, are you okay?" Mr. Zhang asked, not sure what he should do.

Brian couldn't speak; the pain was too much. He let out a low-pitched grumbling sound that was eerily similar to that of a wounded animal. This was the response that Mr. Zhang needed. He placed the food tray on the floor and rushed to alert Lord Ho.

Lord Ho was worried and immediately drove Brain to hospital.
