Chapter 222 The Hypocritical "Scholar"



His father said something different. Your father's health is very poor. He kidnapped Old Master Xu and brought him home so he could secretly have a heart transplant at a shady hospital. He didn't treat Old Master Qi like a vessel; he saw him as nothing more than a container for his own heart and liver. He wasn't just kidnapping him; he wanted to kill him too. You need to think this through carefully. If this comes to light, the whole family will be ruined. Will you expose him, or will your whole family suffer? Think it over carefully.

Now he's shaking even more violently. It's impossible that only a few people know about these things; those few people all have vested interests with him and wouldn't easily reveal them. How did he know? Hmm, people are saying, where is he? Boss Chen is practically on edge. Kidnapping, heart transplant, murder—one thing after another. What if they really went all out? Wouldn't the old man be in danger now? Keep notifying them; if they don't budge, I'll beat them to death. I'm not afraid of going to jail, but my father can't wait.

"Professor, you wouldn't hesitate to expose him out of father-son ties, would you? You treat him like a father, but he might not treat you like a son. Have you hired a new nanny at home? Young and beautiful, and pregnant? How did you know?" Professor Qin looked up. "My dad met him while buying groceries at the market. Xiaoyun was dumped by her boyfriend; she's pregnant out of wedlock, and her family won't let her go home. She works odd jobs at the market. Sitting in the dirtiest spot."

The day I met her, she almost miscarried. The old man had no granddaughter, and when Xiaoyun saw Xiaoling, she felt pity and thought she could help, so she took her in as a nanny. Hmph, your dad. Even the Tian family, who made their fortune in animal husbandry, looks down on him, so why would he go to a vegetable market? Don't you use your brain? Did you bring her in a nanny or your stepmother? Is she carrying a pitiful child abandoned by her father, or a child to fight you for the inheritance? An illegitimate child, saying Xiaoyun is only 20 years old, while my dad is already sixty-seven or sixty-eight. That's true.

But he's young at heart, still going strong despite his age. He relentlessly mocked everyone present, causing one of them to frown. "My goodness!" she thought. "I initially thought this old man was just heartless, but now I realize... he's incredibly audacious! That 20-year-old girl was pregnant; they must have been hooking up when they were teenagers. An old cow eating young grass, ruining the flowers of our nation! Doesn't he feel ashamed?" Even Officer Mu wanted to drag him into the interrogation room and question him about whether the girl was of legal age and whether it constituted enticement.

"Oh dear, you unfilial son! You actually believe a stranger's words and refuse to believe that my life is meaningless. If I don't want to live anymore, let the police frame me and arrest me. That way you'll be happy, right? We'll all be happy." Old Master Qi clutched his heart, his breathing becoming rapid and labored, his eyes bloodshot. This terrified Professor Qi. His wavering resolve hardened again. No matter what, it was best to stabilize the situation first. There was still room for a private settlement with his family. But if he admitted it at the police station, there would be no turning back on Old Master Tian's involvement. "I have no idea who this Old Master Tian you're talking about is, and I've never even seen him."

"I'm just here to take my father home. If you don't have any substantial evidence, we'll go back first. The police can't detain people without reason, can they? You can go back and investigate the illegitimate child matter further. But what about your mother? Don't you care about Old Mrs. Qi? What does this have to do with my mother?" Professor Qi looked displeased. This young girl was always trying to sow discord. What were her true intentions regarding the family relationships? Had she seen the Qi family doing well? Or was this a setup deliberately set up by her rivals? Once this thought took hold, Professor Qi felt it became increasingly real, something he absolutely needed to research himself.

That paper is about to be published, and some people are getting restless, trying to smear their own families. Absolutely, haven't you thought about that? Grandma Qi, such a sunny and optimistic person, why did she die so depressed? Sunny and optimistic? Hmm, I was talking about his mother. Ever since he could remember, his mother had always been melancholic and died young, so he only had his father as a relative. Therefore, he had exceptional respect and care for him. Even if he caused a huge disaster, I would be willing to stop him. So why did he say his mother was lively, cheerful, and sunny?

That's not right!

Your mother was tall, fair-skinned, and beautiful. More importantly, she came from a wealthy family and was a well-known figure in the area. Your father, a university professor at the time, was captivated by her from the first moment he saw her. Thus, despite the usual teacher-student dynamic, he sent her letters. Your mother, however, was indifferent to him, consistently avoiding his advances and explicitly rejecting him. Yet, he persisted, harassing her openly and covertly, even going so far as to persuade other teachers, the dean of students, and the vice-principal—all prominent figures—to intervene and persuade her.

To ask him to accept you is ridiculous. Your father, a bunch of so-called intellectuals, is morally blackmailing a girl's feelings. Your mother absolutely refused, even threatening to drop out of school. Little did she know, Old Master Keqi was vicious. He desperately wanted your mother, willing to use any means necessary, so he deliberately spread rumors about him and your mother, which reached your maternal grandfather's ears. Your second grandfather was furious, feeling she had disgraced the family, and forced her to marry someone else. Everyone advised her against it, saying your father was talented and handsome, but his family background was a problem.

Although she was more than ten years older than him, she was a reliable person. Under pressure from everyone, she reluctantly married your father, but he was unhappy after the marriage. Your father continued to have affairs every day, with the teachers and students at school covering for him. He didn't want to see women he didn't love; even a glance was repulsive. Soon after, you were born. He handled all the household chores and social obligations; your father never even touched you. Changing your diapers, doing the laundry, and cooking were all done by your mother. Not long after, he died of depression. The culprit behind all this was your father, Old Master Qi.

He never cared about you. All these years, your food, clothing, and everything else came from your mother's dowry. But now, facing the murderer who ruined your mother's life, are you still going to protect her? Are you really going to stand by and watch him commit evil? Professor Qi, you're not like him. You're a truly talented person. Are you going to let your whole life be ruined by him? Your mother is a cautionary tale. If she were alive, she wouldn't want you to be dragged down by him. Every word Ye Miao spoke pierced Professor Qi's heart. No wonder, no wonder. Every time he visited his maternal grandfather's house, his eyes were filled with sorrow and regret, and his maternal grandmother seemed hesitant to speak.
