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

The police car arrived quickly.

Zhong Xingpeng, covered in blood, was brought out.

He screamed like a madman, "Why are you arresting me? Qin Ge! Qin Ge is the madman! He almost killed me! Arrest him! Arrest him!"

The police officers restrained Zhong Xingpeng, saying, "Behave yourself. Mr. Qin has called the police. You are suspected of multiple crimes, including burglary, assault with a knife, and extortion."

The amount involved is huge, and they are taking this case very seriously.

"I didn't!! It was them! They deliberately framed me!"

Zhong Xingpeng's eyes were bloodshot.

Police: "We have both witnesses and physical evidence. We've also received evidence that you drugged and sexually assaulted multiple people years ago. We will investigate all of that together."

Zhong Xingpeng understood perfectly well that Qin Ge had done all of this on purpose.

No wonder everything went so smoothly, because it was all a scheme set up for him by Qin Ge from beginning to end, just like the scheme set up for him by Xu Xingchen many years ago.

He almost got 50 million!

He was escorted into a car by the police and saw Xu Xingchen sitting in a luxury car.

He was well taken care of, like a carefully protected treasure, and his whole being exuded exquisite beauty.

I just sat there and watched his fate unfold.

Just like many years ago, he orchestrated everything to make Qin Ge fight for him.

Zhong Xingpeng's eyes were filled with hatred as he shouted at Qin Ge.

"You think Xu Xingchen is some kind of good person? Would I have gotten in so easily without him? He noticed me a long time ago; he deliberately orchestrated all of this! Just to make you a tool in his hand!"

"He deliberately chose me, deliberately left the door unlocked, and deliberately let you know everything! He timed your arrival perfectly!"

"Xu Xingchen treated you like a dog, but you treated him like a treasure. Qin Ge, you're the real idiot."

After shouting these words, Zhong Xingpeng was locked in a police car and taken away.

Xu Xingchen's eyes flickered a few times. He tugged at the hem of his clothes, sat down, feeling a bit cold.

Zhong Xingpeng brought up a corner of these unpleasant past events.

He dared not look at Qin Ge.

He didn't know what Qin Ge would think.

He knew that in Qin Ge's heart, he had always been the purest and most flawless one. He had praised him too highly; in his heart, he was too perfect.

It's all an illusion.

He had said long ago that he was at least half responsible for Qin Ge becoming like this.

The scene he feared most being discovered was laid bare before Qin Ge.

He lowered his eyes and heard Qin Ge get into the car.

He didn't know what Qin Ge would say.

He was afraid that Qin Ge would find out about these things, but... he wasn't that afraid.

Xu Xingchen didn't know how to express his feelings; he was a complex and conflicted person.

He used every means to force Qin Ge to never leave him before he reluctantly gave her a response.

She wanted to remain pure and innocent in Qin Ge's eyes forever, but she also wanted to know what he would do if all of this were exposed to him.

Qin Ge said to the driver, "To the police station."

He explained briefly, "I need to make a statement."

Xu Xingchen responded with an "oh".

His heartbeat gradually returned to normal, and he stared blankly out the window.

The two men finished giving their statements.

Chung Hsing-peng has been sued for the previous drugging incident, as well as for this recent burglary and extortion.

The amount is huge.

Multiple offenses will be punished concurrently.

It will take at least ten or twenty years for them to recover.

He's over fifty years old; whether he'll even make it out alive is questionable.

Qin Ge seemed to be in a good mood.

Xu Xingchen remained silent the entire way.

This matter remained on his mind, and he had no idea what Qin Ge was thinking.

Is it disbelief, or is it another attempt to whitewash the situation?

After all, Qin Ge was best at whitewashing things; he had done this many times before.

As soon as he sensed something was wrong between them, he would immediately pretend nothing had happened.

Xu Xingchen could have chosen to do the same, pretending nothing had happened. In any case, he and Qin Ge could continue to be together, and their relationship would remain the same as before.

There's not much difference.

But he knew clearly what the problem was between him and Qin Ge.

It's mainly his.

He feared that Qin Ge's feelings for him were not love.

He was afraid that Qin Ge was with him because of his illness.

He was afraid that Qin Ge couldn't leave him, so he went along with the mistake and worried that Qin Ge would regret it later.

That's why he never dared to answer Qin Ge's question.

It seems that this way, they can still leave themselves some leeway, so that when Qin Ge leaves in the future, they can pretend to be magnanimous and thank Qin Ge for helping them with their illness.

After so many years of relationship, he wondered if Qin Ge could truly distinguish between friendship, love, and family.

Xu Xingchen had far too many fears.

Even though he could feel Qin Ge's burning heart, even though Qin Ge had said the words he wanted to hear countless times, even at this moment, he still refused to give his last bit of sincerity.

This way, when Qin Ge leaves, he can still retain a shred of dignity and maintain a facade of calm.

Xu Xingchen loathed his own despicable and stingy nature, and even wanted to retreat back into his shell.

Qin Ge forcefully took Xu Xingchen's hand, their fingers intertwined.

"What is Xingxing thinking again? You've already kept so many things from me. You absolutely can't keep anything from me anymore."

Xu Xingchen, "Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

Qin Ge, "Because of what Zhong Xingpeng said? So what?"

Qin Ge's expression was inscrutable.

Once he started, Xu Xingchen wouldn't allow himself to back down.

"Nine years ago, I met Zhong Xingpeng when I was learning piano at a music store."

His parents had originally hired a piano teacher to teach him at home, but he became slightly rebellious because his parents were away from home for long periods of time.

Xu Xingchen, who had always been well-behaved since childhood, did many outrageous things during that period.

This included changing the original piano teacher and going to a little-known music store in the west of the city.

"The way Zhong Xingpeng looked at me was similar to how he looked at some other people before. I know what he was thinking."

"He's right, I did it on purpose, I planned it all."

"I knew he drugged me, but I still drank it."

"The message I sent you was timed precisely."

"I know he sent the others away."

He looked up at Qin Ge with his head tilted back, his face expressionless.

He and Qin Ge weren't always this close, even though they'd been together since childhood.

At the age of twelve or thirteen, Qin Ge developed his own hobbies.

He loves playing ball and video games, and he has endless classes every day. He no longer spends 24 hours a day with Xu Xingchen.

They remain best friends.

But this is not what Xu Xingchen wanted.

Xu Xingchen, who didn't yet understand feelings, realized first that he couldn't live without Qin Ge, and he absolutely didn't want Qin Ge to leave him.
