Chapter 378 All the Truth
Going back in time.
"Dad, Oliver!" As soon as they drove out of the danger zone, Serenity could no longer suppress her inner exhilaration and pounced into George Wright's arms.
George chuckled and patted her on the back, "What happened? Were you terrified?" Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Serenity silently wiped her tears on George's shoulder. "I knew that the corpses were not Dad and Oliver, but I just couldn't rest assured before I saw you in person."
"Don't worry, we won't go down that easily," George said with a smile.
"Julian, what happened to Susie?" Oliver saw Susan who was still in Julian's arms, and a hint of trepidation flashed through his eyes.
Julian gazed down at Susan who was pallid. "So Susie, do you feel like eating now?"
Susan had not eaten in days to protest against him. However, in order to prevent Joseph and the others from picking up clues, he dared not tell the truth.
Up till that moment, they were considered completely safe.
Susan looked at George and Oliver who were still intact. She lifted the corners of her mouth and gave off a weak smile, then murmured in her hoarse voice,"
I could eat a horse now."
Having learned that Susan had been on a hunger strike, George and the others panicked and got the servants to prepare something.
Soon, a warm porridge was delivered to the room.
Julian blew the warm porridge attentively, and then carefully fed it into Susan's mouth.
George and the others were all watching nervously at the side.
Susan took a mouthful after a mouthful.
The bowl of porridge vanished in just minutes.
When Julian was about to go and refill the bowl, Susan held on to his hand.
"Yes?" Julian glanced at her.
"Julian." Susan’s pale face had regained some slight complexion. "I’m sorry."
"Why sorry?" Julian did not get that.
Susan nibbled her lower lip. "I-I-I shouldn't have doubted you."
Susan’s cheeks blushed due to the embarrassment.
Julian rubbed her hair and gave her a fond gaze." Susie, what you suspected was not wrong. If it weren't for the solution that came later, I would have done just about anything for you."
Julian's eyes looked sincere and Susan knew that he was telling the truth.
Susan's already gentle smile softened even more. "But Julian, you'll always think of a way."
In her eyes, Julian had always been able to shield her from any harm. He was like an omnipotent deity to her.
In the future, no matter what happened, she would firmly believe that her beloved Julian would definitely have a solution to the problem.
Susan’s glimmering eyes brightened up Julian’s day, and he could not help but pinch her cheek.
"This time, it was all thanks to Julian's idea," George said with a chuckle.
"Dad, you haven't told me yet. What’s with the corpses? The two bodies resembled you and Oliver too much!" Serenity asked in amazement.
The members of the team led by Oliver basically did not appear in public. The list of people selected to participate in the exchange contest this time was kept confidential.
Therefore, their appearance was not important. No one could recognize them anyway.
The two most conspicuous people on the team were George and Oliver. As long as their bodies were identified, the others were insignificant.
What surprised her was, where did the two bodies come from?
It took only three days from Joseph's proposal to Julian's arrangements. Three days was a tight time frame, and because of that, it was impossible to find someone for a facelift. Therefore, Joseph's men did not have much doubt when they were identifying the corpses.
George smirked and continued saying, "This operation was truly blessed by God.”
"Yeah." Oliver interrupted the conversation and was about to take over.
George could not help but glare at him: "Your eloquence is not as good as mine. Let me speak."
Oliver rolled his eyes. "Go for it then."
George continued with the explanation. "After Julian received Joseph's call, he underwent a series of considerations. In the end, he still chose to disclose the matter to the both of us. At that time, his plan lacked only two people who looked exactly like me and Oliver. And because your brother and I
have been ambushed so many times throughout all these years, and because we're of great importance to the country, five years ago, our superior ordered people to find two people from the death row prisoners and made us two substitutes secretly. We were lucky. They managed to find two people whose contour resembled us a little, then, after a few miniature plastic surgeries, the similarity skyrocketed. Even your mother doesn't know the existence of the doubles.”
Oliver interrupted the conversation a little. "We'd never gotten the chance to put those substitutes into use ever since they were prepared. Unexpectedly, they came in handy this time."
Serenity could not help but nod. "So, everyone else on the plane was also?"
"Yup." Oliver shrugged casually. "Those people will have to die eventually. They were considered lucky to be offered a chance for redemption, and that they could still be of use at that moment."
Serenity gave it a thought, and there was still something wrong, "What about the pilot? There should be two pilots on the plane. Don't tell me somebody among the prisoners knew how to operate a plane? Moreover, those people were extremely vicious. Were they willing to die?"
George chuckled, "There were indeed two elite pilots o n the plane at the beginning. However, after the plane entered orbit, they parachuted and landed early. The remaining journey was completed by our newly-developed automatic navigation system. As for those people, they would of course not die willingly, so we used some methods to make them think they were being sent overseas. They thought that they were free, so they were all very happy." 1
Serenity thought about it for a second and finally figured out the whole story. She could not help but give off an admiring smile, "It’s such a complicated and thoughtful plan that was made in just three days.
And Dad, you guys executed the plan so perfectly. It's really amazing.”
George cleared his throat, "You should know Oliver and me quite well. We were not born for this. We only provided the two doubles, and Julian planned everything else."
"I know that." Serenity laughed with her mouth covered, "Dad, you and Oliver did well just by being able to figure things out. When it comes to planning things out... let's forget about it."
George's face became gloomy, and he knocked Serenity’s head with his knuckle, "How dare you mock your own father."
