Qi Tianxiang clenched his fists. He looked to the left at his son who had already passed out, and then to the right at his daughter who was looking at him with a face full of pleading. Gritting his teeth, he still insisted, "Qi Yue is your biological younger brother."
"Alright." Qi Huan instructed Cheng Jing without any hesitation, "Next."
"Yes, Young Master." Cheng Jing turned and walked towards Qi Yu with a needle pack in hand.
Qi Yu's eyes widened abruptly. She grabbed Qi Tianxiang's hand with almost all her strength. "Dad, didn't you just say you wouldn't let Qi Huan hurt me again?! Is it because you aren't the one he's going to torture? Dad, if it weren't for you, my brother and I wouldn't have ended up like this! Tell him already..."
He couldn't admit it!
If he did, the rest of his life would truly be plunged into eternal darkness!
Realizing that her father cared nothing for her life or death, Qi Yu finally couldn't hold back and started cursing loudly. "Qi Tianxiang, my brother and I are your biological son and daughter! You're just going to watch us get tortured and do nothing? You're not even human!"
"I should have known long ago how selfish you are. Otherwise, you wouldn't have left my brother and me in the orphanage for so long just for your own agenda!"
"For your own goals, you even sold your own flesh and blood!"
"And to think my brother and I trusted you so much! We listened to whatever you said, thinking you could actually give us a good life!"
"You are an absolute selfish monster, a coward! A heartless beast!"
Qi Yu cursed out loud, as if doing so could lessen the pain she was about to face. Her fists continuously rained down on Qi Tianxiang's arms amidst her hoarse, tearful accusations.
"Enough!" Qi Tianxiang grabbed her flailing hands and scolded, "If I hadn't brought you back to the Qi family, would you have been able to live three years of luxury, spending money like water?!"
Qi Yu yelled back, "Bullshit! You're also the one who threw me in the orphanage! If you weren't my father, I wouldn't have suffered in that orphanage since I was a child!"
Of course, before Qi Yu could curse enough, Cheng Jing had already stepped in front of her.
Knowing that her biological father had abandoned her, she struggled and fell from her wheelchair, crawling all the way to Qi Huan. She continuously kowtowed and apologized to him, "Brother, I really know I was wrong. For the sake of me calling you brother for three years, please let me off this once, okay?"
"The kidnapping and harming you were all ordered by Qi Tianxiang. My brother and I had to listen to him so we could stay in the Qi family..."
Qi Huan remained unmoved.
Jiang Youli looked at Qi Huan. "Getting soft-hearted? Don't forget, you almost died. And if you hadn't met me, your legs would have been completely crippled. You would never have stood up again, and you would have been forever mocked by the wealthy circles. Even if you have talent and good looks, in the eyes of others, you would always have the prefix of being disabled."
Qi Huan chuckled softly. "Little Li'er, rest assured, I stopped being soft-hearted a long time ago. I just feel that, as children, I am just as pathetic as Qi Yu and her brother."
To avoid being tortured, Qi Yu was still kowtowing.
Qi Huan sighed. "How did I forget? He is a man who would even sell his own biological son. Not long ago, at my engagement party, he watched helplessly as his own son was retaliated against. How could I possibly think that using his son's and daughter's lives could force him to speak?"
"The only thing he cares about is himself." Having figured this out, Qi Huan suddenly lost interest in continuing to use Qi Yu to interrogate Qi Tianxiang. "Cheng Jing."
"Young Master."
"Hand the siblings, along with the investigated evidence of the kidnapping case, over to the police to handle." Qi Huan did not want to waste any more time on the brother and sister.
Hearing this, Qi Yu stopped and looked up in a daze.
Prison?
Was she going to prison?
She didn't want to go to prison, but compared to being tortured by Qi Huan to the point of wishing for death, going to prison seemed much more acceptable.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu sat up straight, her shoulders slumping in exhaustion. She no longer begged for mercy, nor did she struggle. Instead, she looked at Qi Huan with remorse and spoke bitterly, "Brother... can I call you Big Brother one last time?"
Qi Huan remained silent.
Qi Yu continued speaking on her own, "Big Brother, I'm sorry... This apology is sincere."
"I always thought that living a hard life in the orphanage was all because of you, and that the three years of happy life after returning to the Qi family were because of my dad. It's only now that I realize how ridiculous I was. The reason I could live so happily these past three years was because of you, Big Brother."
"It's because you didn't mind that I was just an adopted daughter. You still treated me with sincerity and gave me the best life."
"My dad said that my identity as an illegitimate daughter would be exposed at any time. He told me to cooperate with my brother to stage a kidnapping and take the opportunity to kill you. That way, I could stay in the Qi family forever. How could I have been so stupid to think that as long as we killed you, my brother and I could live a life of wealth and luxury in the Qi family forever."
"Big Brother, I truly regret it."
Qi Yu held her face and began to cry loudly.
During these three years in the Qi family, she had also suffered grievances, and at first, she didn't dare to cry at all.
It was Big Brother Qi Huan who had softly comforted her and gently said, "Cry if you want to. You are my sister now, don't let yourself suffer any grievances."
After that, she became more and more unbridled.
She felt that all of this was what she rightfully deserved.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu wiped the tears from her face, knelt straight again, and then heavily kowtowed to Qi Huan.
"Thank you, Big Brother, for protecting me these past three years."
She raised her head and looked at Qi Huan with tear-blurred eyes. "Big Brother, when I get out of prison, can I still be your sister and call you Big Brother?"
Before Qi Huan could answer, Jiang Youli said unceremoniously, "You're overthinking it, have some shame. You think kowtowing a few times and apologizing will let you go back to being a wealthy young lady? You might as well just bash your head in and pray for a better reincarnation in your next life."
Qi Yu choked. Seeing that Qi Huan had no intention of answering her, she understood his answer. She turned her head to look at Cheng Jing. "Assistant Cheng, please arrange for someone to send my brother and me to the police station."
She cast another glance at Qi Tianxiang. "I really look down on you, Qi Tianxiang. You don't deserve to be a father. I hope you die with your eyes wide open in regret!"
Qi Tianxiang's face flushed red, whether from anger or shame, it was unknown.
Cheng Jing didn't say anything. He put the needle pack away and then had the bodyguards take the siblings, Qi Yue and Qi Yu, away.
After watching the car carrying the younger brother and younger sister he once cared about drive away, Qi Huan asked his father one last question: "Qi Tianxiang, I'm only asking you this: is my real brother still alive?"
Qi Tianxiang kept a tight face and still didn't answer.
He couldn't answer!
Answering meant he knew the whereabouts of the real Qi Yue!
It meant that the real Qi Yue was indeed sold by him!
"You better pray that my brother is still alive, otherwise, your life is completely over," Qi Huan said lightly. "Cheng Jing, call my psychologist, George. Have him issue a certificate stating that Qi Tianxiang's mental state is unstable, and arrange for Qi Tianxiang to be admitted to a psychiatric sanatorium."
Hearing this, Qi Tianxiang's eyes widened in shock as he yelled, "I am your father! What right do you have to treat me like this!"
Qi Huan replied nonchalantly, "Because I have the power to do so. And as for you, your life, death, and fortune now rest entirely in my hands."
