Liao Gang followed her gaze to the people still trapped in the car and nodded in understanding.

"What secrets are you two plotting?" The woman, who was about to leave, keenly sensed something was wrong with the two and leaned closer to ask, as if scrutinizing them.

Liao Gang immediately straightened up, then casually waved his hand, looking like a grown man who wouldn't hold it against her.

"What could I possibly be plotting with a child? I just feel that as a grown man, I have no reason to argue with a little woman like you. Hurry up and take your people away before I change my mind!"

The woman looked at him suspiciously several times.

But Liao Gang's face was completely hidden by his thick beard, and his eyes looked so determined that he was ready to join the Party. It was impossible to tell that something was wrong, so they gave up and left with their men.

After she walked away, Liao ran to the overturned car and tried to pull the person out of the car.

After trying for a long time, I still couldn't find a solution.

Fortunately, the fire department and emergency medical personnel arrived, cut open the car door, and pried open the dented part of the front of the car. They finally managed to pull the person out of the car and put them on a stretcher.

To avoid any complications, Liao Gang revealed his identity, handcuffed the man, and prepared to send him to the hospital for emergency treatment.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Liao Gang and the paramedics were about to lift the person into the vehicle, an old voice suddenly came from behind them.

When Liao Gang turned around, he was so shocked that he almost jumped out of the ambulance.

“Qiong…why did you come down? I’m fine here. I’ve already called Yan Zheng, he’ll be here soon and will take you back.”

As he spoke, he cautiously observed his surroundings.

I'm afraid some terrorist might suddenly jump out of the crowd and attack this old man.

Then he'll most likely meet his end here!

In contrast, Old Qiong remained quite calm.

He was wearing a mask, and he usually had bodyguards in disguise protecting him when he went out, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Don't worry, I just want to say a few words to him." Old Qiong reached out and patted Liao Gang on the shoulder before getting into the ambulance.

In the ambulance, the young man lay on a stretcher, his face as pale as paper because of his serious injuries.

Upon seeing Grandpa Qiong, his eyes instantly reddened, and he weakly called out, "Dad!"

Old Qiong's originally angry and hardened heart softened a little at this shout, but he still kept a straight face.

"Lin Yuan, why are you doing this? What I've given you, what the country has given you, isn't enough? Why?!"

Of the three rhetorical questions, the last one is the most forceful.

Although Lin Yuan was his illegitimate son, his special status meant he could not publicly acknowledge his existence.

But over the years, he has never shortchanged him in terms of companionship, money, or career support.

Even the country, because of his relationship with Lin Yuan, his only heir, has shown him special importance and care.

Even when he wanted Lin Yuan to succeed him, the country didn't say anything, but instead devoted itself to cultivating him, hoping that he could become a qualified successor.

But is this how he repays him, this is how he repays the country?!

Filled with resentment at being let down, her anger even burned red in Old Lady Joan's eyes.

Lin Yuan remained silent, only shedding tears.

"Speak!" Old Qiong roared, his aura, honed through countless battles, emanating from him and instantly turning the man's face even paler.

Lin Yuan sobbed, crying out as if he were about to collapse, "I'm sorry, Dad, I had no choice, I was forced into it!"

After saying that, he burst into tears.

Because of the intense emotions, the blood flow from the wound increased even more.

The emergency doctor standing nearby quickly said, "The patient's injuries are too severe, and he has lost too much blood. He must not get emotional right now, as this could cause hemorrhagic shock and endanger his life! You are the patient's family member, right? You can ask him anything after you get to the hospital and the patient's vital signs stabilize!"

Although Old Master Qiong was angry, he couldn't completely disregard their father-son relationship and take Lin Yuan's health for granted.

He nodded. "I'll ask one last question." He then looked at Lin Yuan. "Hand over what you took from my study. Tell me what else you took as well. Otherwise, I can't protect you!"

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible shadow crossed Lin Yuan's eyes.

He shook his head, crying, his voice filled with pain and despair. "The things were taken away, Dad. This is the first and only time I've ever helped them."

Old Lady Qiong looked down at him without saying a word.

Lin Yuan panicked and cried even harder, like a child eager to prove to his parents that he hadn't lied.

"Really, Dad, you have to believe me. If I hadn't been forced into this situation, why would I betray you!"

"Really?" Although her tone was still skeptical, Old Man Qiong's expression had clearly softened.

After all, they are children I raised myself; how could I possibly give up on them?

In addition, his mother is...

Lin Yuan nodded through his tears, "It's true, Dad, it's really true. I was really forced into this situation."

Qiqi, who was standing to the side, shook her head.

This is probably what parents' love for their children is like.

He made such a huge mistake, endangering the country, yet Old Man Qiong still wanted to protect him.

"Grandpa Qiong, you don't really believe what he said, do you?"

Old Qiong was starting to believe it; he knew exactly what kind of child he had raised.

In addition, given his special status, there were far too many foreign spies who wanted to use his inner circle as a starting point to break into him.

Although it's unclear what weakness Lin Yuan was exploited against, his claim that he was forced into it is likely true.

But the girl's sudden statement at this juncture must have its reasons.

Looking into Qiqi's large, dark eyes, Old Qiong asked, "Qiqi, do you think he's lying?"

"It's not that I think, it's that he's lying!" Qiqi tilted her head, her tone cheerful, but her expression was cold.

She despises people who don't value the lives of ordinary people!

Lin Yuan's actions have endangered national security and betrayed the interests of the people!

People like this don't deserve to be forgiven by Qiqi.

No matter how great the reason, it doesn't deserve to be forgiven!

Moreover, Lin Yuan had no grievances whatsoever.

Old Qiong's eyes turned cold, and her tone unconsciously became stern, "Are you telling the truth?"

He regretted it as soon as he said it.

The young girl could tell his life story at a glance, even his illegitimate child. How could she not tell whether he was lying or telling the truth?

When Old Qiong looked at Lin Yuan again, his gaze was filled with deep disappointment.

And all that's left is disappointment!

Lin Yuan panicked.

Who is this little girl, and how can she tell he's lying?

He had already fooled Grandma Qiong, so why did he suddenly change his mind all of a sudden!

"Dad, don't listen to her nonsense. I'm not lying. I was really forced into it."
