Chapter 55: He who shines so brightly wants this light to remain so bright...
The wind blew at night, and the jacquard curtains fluttered slightly. Without even putting on her shoes, she stepped barefoot on the carpet to see if it was raining outside the window.
The moment her phone started vibrating, the girl answered the call instantly, her heart pounding so hard it almost jumped out of her mouth.
"Everything okay?"
"Well...don't worry." Qin Yonglian's tone was drawn out, like green olives soaked in gin, with endless aftertaste.
The man reassured her, "Why are you back at the villa again?"
"Hehe, it's a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Let everyone see Jiahao send me out, drive around the market a few times, and then I'll secretly turn back."
When she heard Qin Yonglian ask her to stay at Sister Min's house temporarily, she knew that she couldn't hold her boyfriend back.
He must be entangled in something and use her as a bargaining chip.
Bai Ying thought about it. Firstly, it is always right to hide the darkest part under the lamp. Secondly, she also wanted to wait for Qin Yonglian at home.
"Yingying, open the door for your boyfriend now." Before Qin Yonglian finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps coming closer from behind the door.
Bai Ying took two steps at a time and almost ran down the stairs, running over like a gust of wind.
Giving Qin Yonglian a warm hug, the girl whispered joyfully into his ear: "Leon! Welcome home!"
Qin Yonglian let out a breath of cold air, but did not loosen his arms around her. Bai Ying immediately noticed something was wrong and found that the exposed skin on his shoulders and chest was flushed red.
"Was there a fight?" she asked.
These are clearly signs of internal bleeding seeping into the skin after being hit hard.
"I jumped into the sea. I didn't get my footing right." Qin Yonglian rubbed her head. "It was a sudden incident. Don't worry, the bones are fine."
“Ahem!”
Qin Yongli coughed lightly and jokingly said, "The couple before me are so affectionate, oblivious to the surroundings. The moon and my shadow make three of us, and I miss my wife Qin so much."
Bai Ying only then realized that there was a young man behind her.
She had seen photos and videos of this man online, and his features were very similar to Qin Yonglian's.
A high nose bridge, smiling lips, and deep eyes. It was none other than Qin Yongli.
"Hi, I'm Qin Yongli, the boss of the Liyilianzhengyilong team." The man nodded slightly and saluted like a gentleman.
"She is Bai Ying, my girlfriend." Qin Yonglian introduced her before the girl could speak. It was a great experience to introduce a lover to one's family.
"It's supper time now, and I haven't even had lunch." Qin Yongli said, looking distressed. "Eating dog food on an empty stomach will cause indigestion."
Bai Ying looked at Qin Yonglian, who shrugged, "I only ate one more apple than you."
*** ***
After coming out of the sea dripping wet, Qin Yonglian immediately took a private plane to a small island near Fenjiezhou Island in Hainan.
That almost isolated island has a history of hundreds of millions of years.
It is usually sparsely populated and difficult for cruise ships to reach. There is only one luxury resort hotel, and the only means of transportation to the outside world is airplane.
As usual, Qin Yongli was leisurely lying on a beach chair enjoying the sunshine when a huge figure fell from the sky and enveloped him completely.
For a moment, he thought that a mermaid from the bottom of the sea had come ashore and was going to drag him away and eat him alive.
"Leon?"
When Qin Yongli saw who was coming, his eyes widened.
"Time is urgent. I've already said hello to my sister-in-law. Let's talk on the plane." Qin Yonglian easily picked up the person on the chair and put him on his back.
Qin Yongli was shaken so hard that he didn't recover for a long time. He sighed and pressed his palm against his temples, "Put me down, I can walk now."
"I know, but you walk so slowly." Qin Yonglian brought his elder brother onto the private plane like a butcher carrying a piglet.
In that car accident, Qin Yongli was really injured and in real pain.
The moment the airbag hit his face, Qin Yongli thought he was going to heaven. It was his wife constantly calling his name in his ear that prevented him from falling asleep completely.
The accident completely relaxed his life, which had been as tense as a string.
No reports, no meetings, no data, and no market.
Later, going to Canada for recuperation was just a cover. After recuperating in a private nursing hospital in Toronto for three months, Qin Yongli and his wife did not choose to go further away, but quietly returned to China.
Hainan is a great place for recuperation, only an hour and a half flight from Hong Kong.
They settled down on the island without anyone noticing.
No one knew about it except the famous detective Qin Yonglian.
Every week, health observation reports are sent to Qin Ansen and Deng Yuqian from Canada on a regular basis.
It took him eight months to sit up from his bed, and another six months to stand up with the help of crutches. It took him an extraordinary effort to be able to walk again today.
Qin Yongli was grateful that even after knowing the truth, Qin Yonglian never held it against him. He simply used his ability to protect what was originally his responsibility.
Seeing Bai Ying slightly raising his head with an ignorant look in his eyes, Qin Yongli knew that his righteous brother was also keeping a secret from his girlfriend.
The man felt warm in his heart, "Thank you, Leon, for allowing me, your big brother, to be selfish for once. Now that I'm back, I have to give Leon his freedom back as soon as possible."
Bai Ying: “Eh???”
Qin Yonglian gently scratched his girlfriend's nose to divert her attention: "Quick, use your little universe and take us to eat a delicious midnight snack. Big brother hasn't been back for almost three years, and his greed has gone to drink Meng Po soup."
Bai Ying was still thinking about the "freedom" that Qin Yongli said, and looked up at Qin Yongli.
"Well, for now we can only enjoy the freedom of late-night snacks temporarily. Once the dust settles, Leon will be truly free." Qin Yongli said meaningfully.
He is using the most dramatic method to get everyone back to their lives.
*** ***
Everyone was satisfied with the midnight snack.
Qin Yongyi and Bai Ying agreed to get together again after his wife returned from Hainan.
After dinner, the two of them sent Qin Yongli back to the hospital first. He still had a lot of things to discuss with Qin Ansen.
A day without seeing you feels like three years.
The couple who had been separated for two days felt as if they had not seen each other for several autumns.
Finally back home, I didn't want to do anything except hug my lover tightly and draw energy from him/her.
"It turns out that big brother is such a humorous person!" Bai Ying's breathing became very light. Thinking back to what Qin Yongyi said, she chuckled again.
"He looks more handsome when he smiles." Qin Yonglian felt comforted that his choice was right.
In return, this man, who once suffered from depression and almost wanted to end his life in a car accident, was reborn from the ashes.
If placed in a monarchical society, Qin Yongli would be a child raised according to the requirements of the crown prince.
Under heavy pressure, Qin Yongli chose racing as a way to vent his emotions.
He also often took Qin Yonglian to the racetrack to watch him race. Qin Yonglian had an amazing memory. Every time he stood in the stands watching the race, he would visualize Qin Yongli's route as lines in his mind.
After going back and forth a few times, he discovered that the line types practiced by Qin Yongli at a certain stage were extremely similar, but out of politeness, he did not point it out.
Until he saw the final video of Qin Yongli’s accident, and even saw details that were not apparent in the expert appraisal of the accident, in Qin Yonglian’s eyes, his elder brother had simply redrawn that line.
Qin Yonglian had to think about a reality: Was it a real car accident? Or was it a deliberate act?
This is no longer the era where you can cause a car accident by destroying the foot brakes as in the movies. Qin Yongyi from the second family also understands this.
He bribed the team's technical director early on and obtained a large amount of top-secret technical information. After analysis, he tampered with several values in the program, intending to cause a car crash while Qin Yongyi was practicing.
The plan was despicable. Fearing that it would result in murder, the technical director could not withstand the pressure and told Qin Yongli's wife.
So Qin Yongli knew about this planned car accident. He just wanted to use this incident to have a good "rest".
With his driving skills, he secretly practiced a lot on how to fake a car accident.
The only one who stood firm was his wife. After trying to persuade Qin Yongli in every way without success, she insisted on sitting in the passenger seat and being his navigator.
He entered the lane and was soon hit by the car next to him and hit the track wall. His wife was slightly injured, but he was a bloody mess.
At the critical moment, it was his wife's call that woke him up.
He was so obsessed with the idea of "I might as well just crash into it" that he almost killed two people.
Qin Yongli suddenly realized that he and she, both persistent, chose to flee. One wanted to escape from pressure and responsibility, the other wanted to escape from helplessness and love.
The most practical thing he has learned over the years is to give up escape.
Life always lies ahead.
It was on the plane back to Hong Kong that Qin Yongli told Qin Yonglian about these things for the first time.
Qin Yonglian was surprised, but not surprised.
He just thought that his eldest brother was tired of being the crown prince, so he used extreme means to ask for a few years' leave from the Qin family.
I didn't expect that Qin Yongyi would intervene, and I didn't expect that Qin Yongli would rise to the challenge.
The eldest brother was curious about how Qin Yonglian knew that the second brother was related to the car accident.
Last year, I was having morning tea with Mrs. Qin and we talked about this accident. At that time, Qin Aiyue said, "Brother and sister-in-law are lucky people. God bless you two, and you will have good fortune in the future."
It was this sentence that caught Qin Yonglian's attention. He had a good memory and was particularly sensitive to details.
Qin Yongli's accident has been kept secret, and even the second wife has not been informed of the details.
Due to the special status of the eldest sister-in-law of the Qin family, and due to pressure from her natal family and malicious speculation from public opinion, it was said that only one person was injured, and his wife went to Canada for recuperation with her husband.
Since then, Qin Yonglian began to guard against Qin Yongyi. Thanks to his foresight, he was able to secretly resolve many crises.
Originally, I was thinking about the brotherhood, but Qin Yongyi didn't cherish it and repeatedly planned to fight to the death, so I had to close the net.
With both witnesses and evidence present, Qin Yongyi admitted what he had done.
You don’t need to find a lawyer, just find one downstairs and sign your name directly.
*** ***
After listening to Qin Yonglian's account of this bloody drama involving a wealthy family, Bai Ying asked, "Is he going to jail?"
"I have left immediately for Lisbon."
"Portugal?" the girl was puzzled.
"In the small town of Sintra, 40 kilometers from Lisbon, there is Cape Roca, which is the end of the world in Europe. On the cliff is a lighthouse and a cross facing the ocean."
In order to save the family's reputation, this was the highest punishment Qin Ansen could impose: severing his son's legal inheritance relationship, exiling him abroad forever, and forcing him to repent until death.
So this is the real-life family feud, Bai Ying thought thoughtfully.
The bad guys she saw in the book would be severely slapped in the face. Qin Yongyi had done so many bad things and plotted to kill people, so would he just let it go like this?
"He has lost the most important things. He has lost his family and his freedom."
Bai Ying asked again: "Is he a bad guy or a fool?"
"It's a bit of both, but everyone has a bit of both②." Qin Yonglian knew Qin Yongyi. This kind of person often made mistakes because he was carried away by the pressure, and once he came to his senses, he was more timid than a mouse.
Qin Yongli's words "attempted murder" scared the second brother so much that he knelt on the ground.
"This will become a dusty secret within the extended family, with too many interests involved. Yongli and Yongyi, one willing to fight, the other willing to be beaten. Between law and ethics, from the perspective of the group, the decision of the helmsman must maximize benefits and minimize harm."
Qin Yonglian suddenly thought of his mother who was thousands of miles away in the snow-capped mountains. She sacrificed her lifelong freedom for him.
Tan Ansen, who had just woken up after the operation, called Anna. Did he also sacrifice something for her?
The man pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, clearly feeling down. His beard had grown a green stubble from the days of traveling back and forth.
Bai Ying gently stroked his cheek, "Will you really leave the Tan family?"
"Of course, I already agreed with Big Brother that I would only take care of it temporarily for him and then retire."
"Then when you are free again, I will take you to travel around the world." The girl described a bright future for him, hoping to make her boyfriend happier.
"Hmm..." Qin Yonglian made an OK gesture and hugged Bai Ying tightly. The girl, who had just taken a bath, had a refreshing fragrance on her body.
Bai Ying listened to her boyfriend's heavy breathing and knew that he must be extremely tired.
"It smells so good." The man whispered.
"What kind of fragrance?"
"Oh, it smells so good, love smells so good!"
Qin Yonglian wanted to kiss her and say endless sweet words to her, but his thoughts and body were out of sync, and his eyelids were too heavy to open.
He hadn't slept for two days and one night.
Hugging her extremely tired boyfriend, Bai Ying didn't sleep very soundly, her mind full of the conversation between the two brothers during the meal.
As they discussed the difficulties and technical challenges facing Xizao Telecom, she was struck by a flurry of technical terms familiar from aerospace physics: ground-based augmentation systems, competition in the midstream and downstream supply chains, and nanosecond timing.
She has a deeper understanding of these things than ordinary people. The satellite navigation application market is exactly the research area of Bai Feixiong and his wife.
She also heard the dilemma Qin Yonglian was facing: with a trillion-dollar blue ocean waiting to be opened, how could he be a qualified helmsman?
Bai Ying gently stroked her boyfriend's cheek and felt that he was shining and moving when he said those words just now.
She wanted the light to stay on forever.
Bai Ying straightened her back, pulled Qin Yonglian into her arms, and patted him gently like a baby, "Everything will be fine."

The author has something to say: [Notes]
①The plot of drinking morning tea appears in Chapter 3 of this article, to guide the little cuties who have forgotten the plot.
The author himself went back and watched that scene, and found that Xiao Tan was really a bit arrogant and righteous.
②This sentence comes from a dialogue in George Bernard Shaw's "Pickmeldung".
【Add a little knowledge about popular law】
The right to life is the most basic and important right among citizens' personal rights.
Intentional murder/attempted murder will be punished by death penalty, life imprisonment or imprisonment of more than 10 years.
Novels serve the plot, please do not substitute them for reality.
Qin Yongyi is offline like this. The bad guys will definitely receive severe punishment alone.
If you still feel unsatisfied, the author will give him a few more slaps in the novel.
Space is limited, so I would like to write more about Xiao Tan and Yingying’s sweet love.
President Qin instructed: Approved! Arrange it quickly! You know what kind of scenes it is!
