Chapter 207: Qin Family's Past
Qin Xiao found out about this when he returned to his hometown after graduation. His brother Qin Lang sold the family's house and gave half of the money to Qin Xiao. At that time, Qin Xiao was angry about his parents' death and didn't know about these things at home. When he found out later, it was too late. He wanted to find Qin Lang, but the phone number he used before was not connected.
"Which relatives are you talking about?"
Qin Lang sat down slowly on the sofa. As the real Qin Lang, he was afraid that he would never be able to let go of the things in his memory, because what those relatives asked from him was not only property, but also Qin Lang's identity as a child of the Qin family.
It was obvious that Qin's parents had tried their best to prevent Qin Lang from knowing all this and raised him as their own son. But after they died, those relatives demanded a share of the property on the grounds that Qin Lang was not the Qin family's biological child. Then, knowing that Qin Xiao was not yet an adult, they hoped to get the property that the Qin couple had worked hard for their entire lives.
Not only that, but also the original compensation. These relatives opened their bloody mouths and aimed at Qin Lang, who was only in his early twenties at the time. It was already amazing that he could do that.
Qin Xiao didn't know why he brought this up, but the anger after being drunk invaded his brain. Looking at his brother who seemed to not care about anything, he said viciously.
"Just because I wasn't an adult back then, you could take it for granted that you took on everything and didn't tell me? And because of the faces of those relatives, I was the last one to know?"
His eyes were red as he looked at his injured brother, his eyes filled with uncontrollable grievance.
He could have stayed with his brother and protected him, but why did it end like that?
"After my parents died, I argued with you about the car accident. I felt their death was unnatural. But I knew you took the money for my own good. After my parents' funeral, I ran away like a dog. Why don't you blame me?"
"I know that my aunt, whom I haven't seen in years, came to visit. She brought her family and beat you up, right? She also took Guaiguai away, and even skinned him and threw his skin in front of you, right?"
Qin Xiao couldn't help but shed tears. No matter how tired he was in the police academy, or how tired he was after becoming a policeman, it was not as painful as this moment.
"And my uncle. He hated Mom's funeral business the most. He hadn't contacted us in years. But after Mom and Dad's funeral, he came looking for you, right? He asked you for compensation and the house. Why didn't you tell me? Why did I have to hear all this from other people?"
After his parents' funeral, Qin Xiao went to the police academy. At that time, he was in a completely closed school, so he had no idea what was happening outside. After graduation, he found that everything had changed. He stubbornly ignored his brother. Although he accepted his brother's money, he never contacted his brother, trying to punish his brother in this way.
But who was punished in the end?
After graduation, he returned to his hometown and learned from the neighbors how his brother was bullied. At that moment, Qin Xiao felt that he might as well die.
Later, he looked for Qin Lang for a long time, but found no news. He was assigned to Mengcheng as a policeman. He even thought that his brother didn't want him anymore and would never pay attention to him again.
But it was obvious that the two brothers could have shared the responsibility.
Qin Lang listened to everything this body had experienced back then: his adoptive parents' sudden car accident, the pressure from above, and his impulsive brother falling out with him. He felt quite helpless at that time.
After dealing with the funeral of my parents and sending my younger brother to a closed police academy, I thought everything would be much safer. However, the so-called relatives who came to visit lifted the final veil.
They cursed Qin Lang word by word, saying that he was an unwanted burden, and asked if he had not been kind enough to be picked up and taken home by the Qin couple, would he have the good life he has now?
They cursed Qin Lang as a jinx, saying that it was because of Qin Lang that the Qin couple died early in a car accident, so Qin Lang, the adopted son, should not get a share of the compensation and the house.
They beat Qin Lang and even skinned his cat as a punishment in an attempt to make him give in.
But why isn’t he his parents’ biological child?
For the first time, Qin Lang felt that the world had turned upside down. His parents were so good to him, so why wasn't he his biological child? When he saw the adoption information, Qin Lang felt that the world had turned upside down.
Afterwards, he sold the house despite the oppression from his relatives, gave the money to his younger brother, and hid like a thief. He did not dare to avenge his adoptive parents, nor did he dare to tell his younger brother his identity. He was so timid that he wished the world would end in the next second.
Qin Lang looked at his crying brother in front of him, as if he had returned to the time in his memory when he left his hometown and then always cried inexplicably no matter where he was.
He couldn't understand why his parents were so good to him even though he was not their biological son.
"You know?"
Qin Lang asked a strange question, and Qin Xiao, who was crying in front of him, immediately understood what he meant.
"What do I know? Do I know that those people bullied you, or do I know that they said you were adopted by my parents? Qin Lang, you have been with me since I was born. Just because my parents have no blood relationship with you, does that mean you are not their son, nor my brother? You know I have been looking for you, but I can't find you... The world is too big, I can't find you at all..."
Qin Xiao collapsed. He squatted on the ground and cried like a child.
Many TV dramas or novels are written in an easy way, where a person can be found quickly after losing his trace. However, Qin Xiao and Qin Lang have been separated for several years. How can Qin Xiao find his missing brother in such a big world?
The 200,000 yuan that Qin Lang sent to him last time made Qin Xiao feel that his brother still cared about him. Being able to hear news about Qin Lang made Qin Xiao excited and at the same time hated himself very much.
Why didn't I stay with my brother back then? Why didn't I protect him like I did when we were kids when those people bullied him?
His parents said that his brother was not as strong as him, and that he must protect his brother well when he grows up. However, he broke his promise and did not listen to his parents to protect his brother.
Qin Xiao was like a child at this time. He moved slowly towards Qin Lang, just like he did when he was a child acting like a spoiled child. Qin Lang was sitting on the sofa. Qin Xiao had already come in front of Qin Lang, raised his head, and his eyes were full of tears and grievances.
"If it weren't for this unexpected case, would you never want me again? Now that my parents are gone, do you still not want me as your brother?"
After not seeing each other for a few years, Qin Xiao is still the same as before. He only cries in grievance and accuses others of collapse in front of Qin Lang. He can only be as unbridled as a child in front of Qin Lang.
When Qin Lang heard his words, he helplessly reached out and patted the man's hair, just like he patted his head when he was a child.
"I didn't abandon you, you know. I just found it hard to accept that I wasn't my parents' child. Moreover, under the circumstances at the time, they forced me to give them my parents' compensation and the house, saying that you were still underage and they would look after the money and the house for you. Naturally, I was worried, so in the end I had no choice but to sell my parents' house and gave you half of the money. In fact, I didn't spend much of the rest. I'm waiting to use it for you to get married in the future. I hope you don't blame me. Our house... I don't want those people to disturb you."
This was the true thought of the body in memory. He began to hate everything and fear this world at that moment, but the protection of his younger brother was still engraved in his bones. That was why after Qin Lang sold the house, those relatives had no chance to find Qin Xiao.
Because everyone knows that Qin Lang, that ungrateful guy, sold the house and abandoned Qin Xiao and ran away after he found out that he was not his parents' biological son.
No one knew about Qin Lang transferring money to Qin Xiao.
"Yeah, they do this just for money. Brother, do you know what I did after graduation?"
Qin Xiao is also a crazy enough person, otherwise he would not have stopped contacting Qin Lang after falling out with him. He thinks about his parents' death all the time, and he spent several years in the police academy relying on his resentment towards Qin Lang. After he came out, he learned that his brother was bullied and his parents' car accident might have been because his brother was protecting him. Only then did Qin Xiao grow up.
He said.
"Didn't my uncle run a restaurant? I reported him for using gutter oil to cook, so his restaurant went bankrupt and became notorious."
Qin Xiao did not slander the government. The gutter oil was real. It just so happened that a police officer who graduated from the same school as Qin Xiao knew a reporter who specialized in investigating gutter oil. So with Qin Xiao's help, his uncle's store was successfully closed.
"I also went to visit my aunt. I learned that my aunt and uncle were not on good terms and were both cheating on each other, so I invited them to a hotel. Their mistress's wife was also there. We had a terrible fight and it made the local headlines. They later divorced. Neither of them wanted the child, and the only reason was because of the idiot who abused Guai."
Qin Xiao has never been a particularly well-behaved child. In fact, if it weren't for his timid brother Qin Lang who always pulled Qin Xiao back, Qin Xiao would have dared to try many messy things.
When Qin Lang heard Qin Xiao's revenge, he sighed and touched Qin Xiao's hair.
"You shouldn't do this. What if it affects your chances of becoming a police officer? If this gets investigated, it'll be your fault."
Of course, Qin Lang believed that Qin Xiao had a hundred ways to avoid being discovered.
Qin Xiao nodded obediently.
"I know what my brother means, but I hate them. I hate them for forcing my brother away. I hate that they never interacted with me when my parents were alive, but now that they've passed on, they're bullying my brother. Besides my parents, I only have you, my brother, in this world."
Those actions were not illegal. After all, they were just helping out, but these people paid a heavy price.
Qin Xiao finally wiped away her tears at this time, and then looked at Qin Lang seriously.
"Brother, I know there must be something wrong with the car accident, so you collected the compensation as soon as possible. It was to protect me, right? Did they threaten you with me?"
Only after becoming a policeman did I realize that there is so much darkness in this world. My brother was also in so much pain at the beginning, why did he suddenly accept the compensation? Wasn’t it because he was not an adult?
Qin Lang had no intention of hiding it from Qin Xiao. After all, Qin Xiao had grown up now.
"Yes, they said that if I didn't accept the compensation, they would find ways to make things difficult for both of us. I promised my parents that I would protect you, so I accepted the compensation. Qin Xiao, you are a police officer now. I believe that sooner or later you will find out the truth about my parents' car accident. I have always believed this."
When he heard his brother's answer, the pain Qin Xiao had suffered in the past few years disappeared without a trace, and he finally let go of the knot in his heart.
"Brother, I promise, I will find out the truth about my parents' car accident. I will bring the murderer to justice!!!"
