Chapter 87

The night gradually deepened. On the first floor of the Qin Family Villa, a warm yellow night light was quietly shining.

Today, to save Shi Yi, Qin Hao Bei's arm was scratched by the speeding large truck, leaving a large area of red and swollen wounds. At this moment, Shi Yi was treating Qin Hao Bei's wounds and applying medicine.

Under the light, Shi Yi used a cotton swab dipped in iodine to wipe Qin Hao Bei's wounds bit by bit, carefully.

Her eyes were red, and her eyes were full of self-reproach.

Plop—

A drop of warm tears fell on Qin Hao Bei's cold forearm.

Qin Hao Bei saw Shi Yi crying, thinking she was thinking of the late Director Wang again, and a heartache surged in his heart:

"Xing'er, don't be sad, I believe Director Wang has already gone to heaven. She taught and educated people all her life and cultivated so many talents, which can be considered worthwhile..."

Shi Yi said "Hmm," but the tears didn't stop, falling "plop, plop" on Qin Hao Bei's arm.

"Brother, does it... hurt?"

Qin Hao Bei felt a warmth in his heart; only then did he realize that Xing'er was feeling heartache for him.

"Hey, this little injury doesn't count for anything; you forgot I'm a special forces soldier!"

Hearing Qin Hao Bei's words, Shi Yi only felt even more heartache, as well as deep regret and self-reproach.

At this moment, she wished she could kill that vicious woman Shi Xi!

"Brother, do you think I'm particularly useless?" Shi Yi said while helping Qin Hao Bei apply medicine: "In the three years since I was reborn, I haven't gone to take revenge on my enemies, nor have I taken the initiative to make those who once harmed me pay the price; I have only been blindly escaping and living a precarious life... just to be able to spend the rest of my life quietly... Even when Shi Xi almost took my life today, I didn't dare to take off my mask and show my true face..."

Listening to Shi Yi's words, a sourness surged in Qin Hao Bei's heart, and he said patiently:

"Xing'er, this is not your fault, I understand your concerns... Some wounds cannot be healed all at once..."

"I'm not concerned, I'm just cowardly!" Shi Yi said excitedly: "I finally realized now that I was really wrong to the extreme! Escaping cannot solve problems; it will only bring harm to the people I care about... Brother, I regret it so much now, giving Shi Xi the opportunity to harm me, and also causing you to get hurt..."

"Brother, I really, really want Shi Xi's life now!"

Shi Yi's chest heaved violently, and her pale little face was also flushed with excitement.

Qin Hao Bei didn't expect that Shi Yi, who had always been calm and indifferent, and didn't even care about life and death, would be so angry because of his minor injury.

"Xing'er, don't be excited, I'm really fine."

Qin Hao Bei gently patted Shi Yi's shoulder and comforted her warmly.

Immediately after, his gaze became stern:

"If Xing'er really wants revenge, I will definitely make those who have harmed you pay the price, and I won't let a single one go!"

Shi Yi looked into Qin Hao Bei's eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She thought for a moment, then said calmly and steadily:

"Brother, I don't need you to do anything for me; I will handle my own affairs myself. It's just... I have a request, I don't know if you can help me..."

Qin Hao Bei curled his lips indulgently: "Speak."

"Next month, isn't it Grandpa's 70th birthday? Can you... take me there that day too?"

Qin Hao Bei laughed out loud and ruffled Shi Yi's hair:

"Of course, you are the granddaughter Grandpa personally recognized, of course I will take you! Grandpa will be very happy to hear this news!"

On the other side, inside the Shi Residence, the door was locked from the inside, and the curtains were drawn tightly.

With a "slap," Shi Heng slapped Shi Xi across the face.

"Shi Xi, you really disappointed me too much, actually doing such a thing to your own sister!"

Shi Xi knew that no matter how she explained, Shi Heng wouldn't believe her anymore, so she might as well tear off her mask and let him know the true face of that little bitch Shi Yi:

"Heh, own sister, Brother, until now, you still can't forget her in your heart?! Shi Yi lied to us, she didn't die at all! Those videos of her being kidnapped and abused were just a play she directed and acted in herself! She used a fake death to deceive us, to deceive everyone! It was just to make us feel guilty and make us live in pain! Don't be stubborn anymore!"

A burning light shone in Shi Heng's eyes.

"Who is the stubborn one, me or you? For so many years, because of you, Xiao Yi was thrown into the welfare institute by the family and ignored, and she even served five years in prison for you. Don't you have any guilt in your heart?!"

Shi Xi curled her lips and sneered like a lunatic:

"Brother, what are you talking about? She was thrown into the welfare institute by the family and ignored because of me? Brother, wasn't it her who used a laser pointer to blind my eyes back then?! If she hadn't refused to apologize for so many years, could the family have treated her like that? Could a mere five years in prison exchange for one of my eyes?! Could it exchange for a healthy body?!"

Hearing the words "healthy body," Shi Heng felt even more ironic and heartbroken.

"Healthy body? Do you think Xiao Yi's body is healthy? She had a kidney removed in prison! And that matter back then, it wasn't her doing at all, how could you let her apologize?"

For so many years, Shi Heng had been hiding from the family the fact that Xiao Yi's body had been harmed, just because he knew the character of the Shi family too well; even if they knew Xiao Yi had suffered such hardship, they wouldn't have the slightest sympathy for her.

But now, knowing Xiao Yi was still alive, he couldn't hide it anymore!

He had to let Shi Xi know the truth about what happened back then, otherwise, maybe this lunatic would do something else to harm Xiao Yi!

"What did you say, the matter back then... wasn't Shi Yi's doing?"

Shi Xi's eyes widened suddenly, with a face of disbelief:

"Brother, even if you are determined to protect Shi Yi, you don't have to say such things! Besides Shi Yi, there was no one else playing with me in the garden that day! Besides her, who else could it be? Could it be that I shone it myself? That was a laser pointer!"

Shi Heng sneered:

"You actually guessed right, it really was you who shone it yourself."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and tuned to the recording of his conversation with Ye Jing in Guangfu back then.

"This is the confession of the nanny Ye Jing who took care of you back then, listen to it yourself."

Shi Xi took the phone tremblingly and pressed the play button:

Only a vicissitudinous and hoarse female voice came from the phone:

"If I remember correctly, that day, June 20th, 200X, was originally a very ordinary day..."
