A skin-thirsty episode occurred, in her brother's arms.

Yun Ci knew, of course, that Qin Ge wouldn't just obediently listen to her.

This time, she had no choice but to let a few people keep an eye on Qin Ge and booked the earliest possible flight.

Regardless of how Qin Ge would react to this news, she went out to handle the remaining matters.

Qin Ge has really left behind a huge mess this time.

Xu Xingchen's parents are unaware of this matter yet. Although they are busy, they mostly leave Xu Xingchen to his own devices.

But they love their children.

Even if someone is usually very satisfied with or fond of Qin Ge, hearing this news still leaves them with some resentment.

The company is the same; luckily it didn't last long, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to explain it.

Yun Ci's head was spinning from thinking about all this, and she resigned herself to helping Qin Ge deal with this mess.

Just after finishing the phone call, I wanted to go to the ward to see Xu Xingchen, but when I turned around, I bumped into Qin Bei sitting in a wheelchair.

He has aged drastically in recent years; his hair is gray and his face is covered in wrinkles.

Qin Bei also saw Yun Ci, and a slightly ingratiating smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"Xiao Ci, what brings you to the hospital?"

Yun Ci's eyes were filled with complex emotions as she called out, "Uncle Qin."

Human emotions are complex. Qin Bei had always been very good to her, both before and after she married Qin Siyuan.

They all saw how good Qin Bei was to Qin Ge.

But the shadow of that incident loomed over everyone, and she hated Qin Siyuan to death.

When Qin Bei knelt before them, begging them to let Qin Siyuan go, Yun Ci's feelings were extremely complicated.

Qin Bei smiled and agreed, then asked, "Why are you at the hospital?"

Yun Ci replied casually, "Something came up."

She had no intention of chatting with Qin Bei about everyday matters. She nodded at him and prepared to leave.

She pretended not to see the fleeting sadness in Qin Bei's eyes.

Someone quickly walked over and said to Qin Bei, "Mr. Qin, the young master has woken up and is making a fuss about calling the police, saying that someone is trying to harm him."

The person behind Qin Bei pushed him toward the ward.

In the ward, Qin Siyuan was wrapped up like a mummy, with multiple fractures all over his body, and he still couldn't speak clearly.

He repeated a few words with difficulty, "Someone is trying to harm me, it's Qin Ge and Xu Xingchen."

"My car suddenly went out of control. It must be them. They want me dead."

"Dad, you see? They dared to lay a hand on me while I was still alive. How could I live without you? Dad, I'm your only son."

"Qin Ge wants me dead; he can't wait to get rid of me."

"Dad, we can't give him everything. He won't let me live. He's a devil."

"Dad, can you really bear to see me go with you? How will you explain it to Mom when you get to the underworld?"

Qin Bei's eyes showed weariness and disappointment. "The police investigation revealed that you drank a lot that night, exceeding the legal limit for drunk driving."

"I only drank a little bit! Dad, don't you believe my alcohol tolerance? Besides, the car suddenly went out of control at that time."

Qin Siyuan suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "It's Xu Xingchen! He must have taken control of the vehicle's intelligent driving system, causing the vehicle to lose control!"

"This is intentional homicide! I'm calling the police! I'm calling the police!"

Qin Bei was exhausted and reached out to press his forehead.

Qin Bei's assistant stepped forward and explained, "Young Master Qin, we've checked, and there's nothing wrong with the vehicle, let alone any issue with the intelligent driving system being controlled."

"Impossible! You must not have investigated properly. Were you bribed by Xu Xingchen?"

"Dad, you have to believe me, this time it's for real, they really want to kill me."

Qin Bei was exhausted. His body was hunched over as he said something to his assistant.

"Get some rest." Qin Bei left.

"dad!"

Qin Siyuan's voice was choked with sobs as he tried to awaken Qin Bei's paternal love.

Unfortunately, Qin Bei didn't look back at him again.

Meanwhile, Yun Ci and Lin Shu took Xu Xingchen back.

Xu Xingchen is fine and can go home after the medical check-up.

Everyone tacitly avoided mentioning Qin Ge. When Xu Xingchen left, he glanced at the hospital, wanting to say something but then forcibly suppressed it.

The other two also pretended that nothing had happened.

Instead of returning to their villa in Yunxi Bay, they went to another villa area.

This is Yun Ci's coming-of-age gift to Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen only came once or twice.

For convenience, he and Qin Ge spent most of their time living in the dormitory after starting university.

It's only in this recent semester that I've been going to Yunxi Bay more often.

Yun Ci assured Xu Xingchen that he would not see Qin Ge again for some time.

Yun Ci's voice was gentle yet firm, "Xingxing, the world is free, and so are you. Don't change your decision because of Qin Ge."

"Go ahead and do what you want to do, we will always support you."

A section of Xu Xingchen's heart collapsed.

See? No matter what he does, they'll stand behind him.

It was because of his family that he had more courage to face all of this.

"I know, Aunt Ci."

"I heard that the studies at the Royal Academy in Country Y are very demanding, so I'll take these two days to rest properly."

Yun Ci had many things to do, and after chatting briefly with Xu Xingchen, she hurriedly left.

Lin Shu and Xu Xingchen were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Lin Shu had been rather quiet ever since she met Xu Xingchen.

She glanced at Xu Xingchen several times, then awkwardly touched her nose. "Did I go a little too far?"

Lin Shu went to their place but didn't see anyone. Their cell phones, ID cards, and all sorts of other things were still at home. Lin Shu was really scared.

She didn't know what to do.

After searching for an hour or two without finding any clues, they finally decided to contact both sets of parents.

Xu Xingchen and Qin Ge are both too young. She is afraid that they might act impulsively and cause something bad, which they will regret later.

Xu Xingchen's parents conduct research in areas with no cell phone signal year-round, and the contact person at Xu Xingchen's school is Yun Ci.

Lin Shu then contacted Yun Ci.

She thought that Qin Ge had at most taken Xu Xingchen to hide somewhere else, and that Yun Ci would find them soon.

As a result, after traveling by plane and cruise ship, Yun Ci did not hold back when she met Qin Ge, allowing him to give him a severe beating.

Before seeing Qin Ge, Lin Shu was also furious and wanted Yun Ci to teach Qin Ge a lesson, since what he had done was really too much.

After actually seeing Yun Ci teach Qin Ge a lesson, she felt a little...

I can't quite describe the feeling.

The only saving grace was that neither of them was seriously injured.

Xu Xingchen shook his head in confusion, "Why would Director think that? Aren't you just concerned about me?"

"I didn't even have a chance to thank you."

Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately regained her spirits. "I won't bother you anymore. I still have things to do at school. When you have time, pack your things and we'll take you to the airport. I've already made arrangements with my friends in Y country to pick you up."
