electrostatics - Electric flux due to external charge


Why is electric flux due to external charge i.e a charge outside a closed surface equal to 0?


P.S:Moreover I found this statement confusing:- Electric field appearing in the Gauss' law is the resultant electric field due to all the charges present inside as well as outside but the contribution of outside charges in producing flux is zero. Can someone help me understand it.
