Qi Mingyuan turned his head to look at Qi Shengzhi who was standing still. His young and handsome face still had a stubborn expression, as if he was not bothered by what Qu Jingyun said that hurt him.
It’s not so much indifference, but rather the countless times of injustice and oppression he has endured that have made him as numb as he is today.
Qu Jingyun was still talking excitedly without realizing it, and the sharp knife in her hand would occasionally poke him with her movements. The wound that had been so painful just now was now nothing compared to the pain in his heart that suddenly tightened!
Qi Mingyuan suddenly felt like a failure, a failure as a husband and a failure as a father.
What good is it if a man lives his whole life and ends up being poisoned by his wife and hated by his own children, even if he has built a huge fortune?
Qi Mingyuan regretted it. He regretted that he shouldn't have spent all his time on business 25 years ago. He regretted not caring more about his beloved wife. Perhaps he had been wrong since then!
The years that followed were just one mistake after another...
Yue Feiying had already tied the rope in her hand. She keenly noticed that the light in Qi Mingyuan's eyes was gradually dimming. She felt a little anxious and shouted to Qu Jingyun:
"My hands are tied. Can you come over?"
She raised her hands high and struggled hard to both sides to show that the rope was tied tightly enough.
Qu Jingyun looked around vigilantly for a while before nodding and motioning her to come over.
As soon as he got close, Qu Jingyun put the bloody knife on Yue Feiying's neck.
Watching a drop of bright blood flowing down Yue Feiying's slender white neck, Qi Shengzhi felt that the blood-red color stung his eyes.
Qu Jingyun strangled Yue Feiying's neck with one hand and put the knife against her neck with the other. If Yue Feiying resisted a little, the sharp blade with a cold glow could easily pierce her throat.
"Hurry up and get the money. I'll give you another hour. If you don't get what I want, you'll be waiting to collect her body!"
Qi Shengzhi's face was solemn. One hundred thousand cash was not a small amount of money for him. He had to find Ding Xuefeng to find a way to raise the money. He was not sure that he could do it in an hour.
At this time, Qi Mingyuan, who was able to catch his breath, spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Go to my study. There's 50,000 in cash in the safe, a 50,000 savings certificate, and some gold bars. Take them all out and give them to her."
"The password...is your mother's birthday."
Qi Shengzhi's pupils flickered, his face turned pale and he didn't say anything.
When Qu Jingyun heard that she could get the money immediately, her face lit up with joy at first. But when she heard Qi Mingyuan say that the password of the safe in the study was Qi Shengzhi's mother's birthday, she became so angry that her face was twisted and her mouth was crooked.
No wonder she had tried several times before but failed to come up with the correct password. She tried everyone's birthday, but she never thought that Qi Mingyuan would use a dead person's birthday as the safe password!
This woman had been dead for over twenty years, yet she was still in charge of Qi Mingyuan's most important things. Then what was the point of her being Mrs. Qi for twenty years?!
Qu Jingyun was so angry that he exerted force on his hand. Yue Feiying felt pain and couldn't help but groan.
This faint moan immediately brought Qi Shengzhi's soul back to his senses. He no longer cared about competing with Qi Mingyuan and immediately said:
"Don't hurt her! I'll get it for you right away!"
Qi Mingyuan looked at Qi Shengzhi, who had just had a tough face, and suddenly panicked. He looked at Yue Feiying with eyes full of worry and anxiety, and a trace of comfort could not help but pass through his heart——
Fortunately, this failed father finally did one thing right and found a life partner for his son who was worth spending his life with.
Such a precious wife to his son, of course she cannot make any mistakes for the sake of him, a failed father!
Qi Mingyuan looked at Qu Jingyun's already crazy eyes, and felt cold in his heart——
They still didn't know Qu Jingyun well enough. She just admitted that she would even cut up Qi Shengzhi's favorite rag doll with scissors and burn it to ashes. How could she let go of the person Qi Shengzhi liked?
If Qu Jingyun really lets Yue Feiying leave, Yue Feiying will definitely be hurt in the end!
He couldn't let this happen.
After Qi Shengzhi finished speaking, he immediately turned around and went to the study to get the money. Yue Feiying kept winking at Rong Yongsi. Seeing this, Rong Yongsi came over and helped Qi Mingyuan, who was lying on the bed, up.
Yue Feiying had already used herself as a hostage to exchange Qi Mingyuan, so naturally she wanted to stay as far away from this crazy woman as possible.
Qi Mingyuan looked at Yue Feiying weakly, with a loving smile in his eyes:
"Good boy, thank you."
For some reason, Yue Feiying had a bad premonition in her mind, but at this moment her neck was strangled by Qu Jingyun and she couldn't move at all.
I only heard Qi Mingyuan continue to say:
"Shengzhi is actually a good boy. I have always been sorry for him. Please pay more attention to and take care of him for me in the future..."
The more Yue Feiying listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She wanted to speak but couldn't. She could only keep winking at Rong Yongsi, asking him to quickly help Qi Mingyuan out.
Before Rong Yongsi could understand what she meant, Qi Mingyuan, who was originally leaning on him, suddenly stretched out his arms and rushed towards Qu Jingyun.
In a flash, the frightened Qu Jingyun subconsciously raised the sharp knife that was on Yue Feiying's neck and stabbed Qi Mingyuan who was rushing towards her!
"dad!"
There was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
"Firefly!"
......
There was no sound in the room for a long time.
After a long time, a series of intermittent low sobs came from the floor.
Yue Feiying frowned and looked at Qi Shengzhi who was crying bitterly while holding her in his arms. Then she looked at Rong Yongsi who was sitting on the floor, supporting Qi Mingyuan and watching the two of them in a daze. She rubbed her broken and bleeding knuckles and said unhappily:
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and tie him up and send him to the police station! You don't think I can kill him with one punch, do you?"
Why is it that Qi Shengzhi's father is just like Qi Shengzhi, both liking to do things unconventionally?
She had made all the arrangements, just waiting for Qu Jingyun to get the money and let down his guard, and then she would seize the opportunity to take Qu Jingyun down.
As a result, Qi Mingyuan's sudden move not only caught Qu Jingyun off guard, but also caught her off guard.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and was mentally prepared when Qi Mingyuan said those "last words". The moment Qu Jingyun swung the knife at Qi Mingyuan, she squatted down and dodged to break free from Qu Jingyun's shackles, and then knocked Qu Jingyun unconscious with a backhand uppercut.
Unexpectedly, before she could stand firmly, a pair of slender arms suddenly embraced her. Without looking back, she knew it was Qi Shengzhi.
After sleeping in the same bed for so many days, she had long been accustomed to the faint scent of tobacco on him.
But... why was this guy crying while hugging her instead of his dad who fell to the ground?
She just had some scratches on her skin, what's the big deal...
