“Are you hiding something from me?” Lin Dongyang wasn’t stupid, he knew that this incident would definitely trigger a series of reactions, “I haven’t dared to ask, what happened during this time when I couldn’t contact you?”
“Nothing.”
“Is your father hitting you again? The bruises on your hands are new,” He had already seen several blood stained cuts on his hands.
“No.”
Lin Dongyang grabbed his hand and looked at it repeatedly, saying, “If it’s really me that’s making things particularly difficult for you and your family, I hope you’ll choose the easier solution.”
Qiao Yichen clenched his hand fiercely, causing Lin Dongyang’s knuckles to feel slightly painful. “Who was the one that said ‘if you dare mention not interacting again, I’ll beat you until you take it back’.”
Lin Dongyang pointed to his forehead, “My father hit me here. I had a big argument with him, but after he hit me I realized something.” He pretended to smile casually, not wanting to put pressure on Qiao Yichen, “I can firmly choose you, but I can’t force you to choose me as well. I don’t want our relationship to restrain you like shackles.”
“I told you, I want all of this. Your mouth has really said something I don’t like!” Qiao Yichen pounced on him and pinned him down, punishing him by taking his lower lip and biting it with his teeth, eager to bite down and swallow it into his stomach so that he wouldn’t say things he didn’t like.
Lin Dongyang stuck out the tip of his tongue to lick away his anger, and took the initiative to send his tongue into Qiao Yichen’s mouth.
“I’m just giving you the choice.”
“Then let me ask you this, are you willing to let me go?”
Lin Dongyang closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. When he opened them again they were already full of possessiveness, “If I ask myself, I’m too selfish. I think that no matter what happens, you will unconditionally favor me, love me, protect me and only think of me.”
Qiao Yichen replied with the same emotion, “I’m also selfish. What I like must be held in the palm of my hand, and no one can take it away.”
Lin Dongyang had a sudden realization. The warmth in his chest flowed through his limbs, guiding his legs to cling onto Qiao Yichen’s waist. His desire was overflowing and he just wanted to swear, “F*ck! I f*cking love your reckless look! Kiss me now!”
Qiao Yichen raised his hand to secure Lin Dongyang’s legs that were climbing around his waist and endured as he said. “Once I’ve taken care of everything I’ll confess to you.”
“Waiting for you.”
When Qiao Yichen went back to Rongjing Bay, unsurprisingly, Jiang Xiaoyong was waiting for him respectfully at the entrance. Seeing him return, he bowed and said, “Young Master, chairman Qiao is waiting for you in the hall.”

He understood that everything was calculated, and even letting him go was just a way to give him a taste of sweetness to show him how bitter the truth was, for fear that pushing him would backfire.
“Yong-ge, will you help me?” Qiao Yichen also didn’t understand why he had asked such a question at this time. He felt like he hadn’t given up yet. He wanted to find a different exit, even if this exit was very narrow.

Inside the hall, Ye Lin and Qiao Yongfeng were already sitting on the sofa, waiting for him. Qiao Yichen looked up, only to feel full of bitterness. This scene was really like the time when he was caught and brought back for interrogation two days ago.
Only this time, he wasn’t so fearless and righteous as to say ‘I don’t want to.’
He bent his legs and his knees hit the ground with a solid, dull ‘thud’ sound.
Ye Lin and Qiao Yongfeng almost stood up in shock. They knew what kind of temperament their son had, and they also thought that he might give in to reality under this kind of coercion, but they had never imagined that he would kneel down and beg.
“I agree.” Qiao Yichen knelt on the ground, his back straight for the final fight, “but you have to give me a few days, and after I leave you can’t target him.”
This kneeling made Qiao Yongfeng distraught with anxiety. The happiness of his success was instantly lost as he said angrily, “My son, you would actually kneel down and beg me for an outsider?! Where’s your backbone as a member of the Qiao family?!”
Qiao Yichen replied indifferently, “My backbone isn’t as important as him.”
At first, he had a backbone, and he was stupid enough to go on a hunger strike rather than agree with them, but as a result, he saw the person he cherished in his heart, hiding in the place where he lived, injured and curled up in a small ball, helplessly waiting for him.
At that moment, he knew that even if he stubbornly won, even if he could finally stay by Lin Dongyang’s side in the end, it wouldn’t necessarily be the best outcome.
What he wanted was to be able to have his lover appear in his home in an open and honest manner, to be accepted and blessed by his parents, instead of hiding away together forever, cowering and not daring to see anyone!
Qiao Yongfeng stomped his feet angrily, feeling speechless. Although his goal had been achieved, he felt uncomfortable. His breath was caught in his throat and couldn’t come down, not to mention how distressed he felt. He roared, “Get up! Go eat, and fix the mess you made! Our family cannot be smeared by anything!”
After Qiao Yongfeng left in anger, only Ye Lin and Qiao Yichen, who was still kneeling on the ground, were left behind.
During the summer vacation Ye Lin saw Qiao Yichen’s performance in the company, and it made her, who’d always upheld a strict attitude at work, feel proud.
It wasn’t until this incident that she realized, other than for work, she had never paid attention to her son’s life.
“Now that you’ve made your decision, prepare well.” Ye Lin also wanted to leave, but after getting up from the sofa she felt weak, so she said, “Don’t hate us. We’re a respectable family, and if something happens, it will inevitably fall on people’s tongues, and will make people joke about us behind our backs.”
“Think about when I married your father. I was about the same age as you, in my early twenties. When your grandfather was still in charge, that old man had a much stranger temper than your father,” She spoke some more as she started to recall the past, “You’re the successor of the Qiao family, so you have to accept the cultivation method of the Qiao family.”
When Ye Lin finally left, Qiao Yichen lowered his head and his straight back collapsed in an instant.
Qiao Yongfeng had said: the Qiao family could not be smeared by anything. Everything had a source, and the matter of investigating people fell to Jiang Xiaoyong and Gu Qiuyu. With money, you can get anything done, and those underhanded tricks the villains did behind their backs weren’t worth mentioning in front of professionals.
It was estimated that the one who played tricks had never dreamed that they would be provoking a master who wasn’t on the same level as them. They also never could’ve imagined that after just sharing a few photos someone would spend so much money to get to the bottom of it and wouldn’t give up until they had uncovered it.
The next afternoon, Jiang Xiaoyong had figured out the whole story from beginning to end, and the perpetrator was tied up within a few days.
Qiao Yichen didn’t ask much over the phone, afraid that Lin Dongyang would hear it and receive a blow, so he coaxed him to sleep and went over by himself.
The place he went to was a basement where no light could penetrate, and he didn’t know from which gangster Jiang Xiaoyong had found the place. The damp musty smell rushed straight to the head, the pungent odor making people retch, and at a glance you knew it wasn’t a place where decent work was done.
Unexpectedly, it was three filthy rats that did the bad deed, and two of them looked surprisingly familiar.
The three of them were tied up with a strong hemp rope. Jiang Xiaoyong and Gu Qiuyu stood on the side, both of them were well-trained and just their well-built bodies alone frightened the three people until they no longer dared to move.
He Miao saw that the person coming in looked young, so although her lips were trembling, a touch of boldness arose in her heart as she tried to intimidate him with words. Her words came out with a stutter and a trembling voice, “You-you’re kidnapping, it’s-it’s against the law, you’re breaking the law!”
Qiao Yichen glanced at her in disgust, and He Miao managed to shut her mouth with a shudder.
Jiang Xiaoyong told Qiao Yichen about the details he had found on the matter, and then turned over the information about the photos taken on Liu Yiyi’s mobile phone.
The photos were secretly taken by Liu Yiyi after the party. She couldn’t believe that the person she was deliberately pursuing would reject her in this way. She was used to being proud and arrogant and she was extremely unwilling to accept this disparity, so she sent this secret to her so-called good friend He Miao.
Originally, He Miao was a person who couldn’t keep her mouth shut, so she turned her head and told her boyfriend.
What they didn’t expect was that her boyfriend was Zhou Bin, who had an old feud with Qiao Yichen.
The hatred for removing his arm, and the hatred for insulting him, these things made Zhou Bin, a small-minded and trouble-making person, unable to let go.
Things just unfolded in such an insidious way.
After Jiang Xiaoyong and Gu Qiuyu finished reporting the information, they had done what they had to do, so they made room for Qiao Yichen.
Qiao Yichen grimaced from the beginning to the end. He walked over to Zhou Bin without saying a word, and then lifted his foot and kicked him in the stomach. The person was kicked a meter away before he crashed into the wall behind him and stopped.
Zhou Bin didn’t expect this person to start without saying hello. Painfully hunched into a shrimp, he broke out in a cold sweat, and his throat let out a painful wail. The kick almost made him spew out the acid in his stomach.
Qiao Yichen squatted down, grabbed his hair and forced him to look at him, “Explain.”
Zhou Bin was muddle-headed, but naturally, he had also suffered before so he still had a bit of spirit left in him. After being kicked suddenly, he became furious, and cursed recklessly, “F*ck! Laozi fell into your hands today, if you have the guts, just kill me, you dog!”
Jiang Xiaoyong furrowed his thick eyebrows and wanted to give him a long lesson, but was silently stopped by Gu Qiuyu.
“It was Laozi who did it. If you make me lose face, I won’t let you get away with it!”
Qiao Yichen’s fist then slammed into Zhou Bin’s chest at a tricky angle. The face that was arrogant one second ago became distorted, and he couldn’t continue to curse.
After his voice was successfully silenced, Zhou Bin faced a flood of fists. He was hammered on the nose, and within a few hits, Zhou Bin was beaten bloody.
This kind of deadly beating finally made Zhou Bin scared. He didn’t expect this person to actually want to kill him! With a mouth full of blood, he mumbled and begged for forgiveness, “I was wrong, don’t hit me, please don’t hit me again.”
“I’ll let you explain.”
“Explain, explain what?” When Zhou Bin looked at Qiao Yichen now, he was so anxious that he wanted to cover his head and sneak away like a rat. He looked both wretched and disgusting, and in a panic he spilled all his motives, “You removed my arm before and embarrassed me in front of my little followers, so I thought, I’d teach you a lesson, just- just like that…”
The more he spoke, the more his voice grew smaller and smaller. He knew that today wouldn’t end well for him, so he just wanted to suffer less, “I have eyes but I failed to recognise Mount Tai. Ge, I was wrong! Ge, please let me go ah! I shouldn’t have meddled in ge’s business, I should have made a detour and I shouldn’t have blackened you. I apologize to you all!”
“Is this the arm that was removed?” Qiao Yichen asked as his eyes fell on Zhou Bin’s right arm.
Zhou Bin, who was trembling and begging for forgiveness, replied, “Yes…”
Qiao Yichen let go of Zhou Bin’s hair and stood up to look around the basement. After looking around for a moment, he felt that the stool in the corner was best. He thought to himself that he’d had a lot of fate with chairs these past two days.
He picked up the stool and strolled back to Zhou Bin’s side. Zhou Bin’s heart jumped into his throat and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. His hands and feet were unable to exert even a little strength, and he was paralyzed there, just like mud.
Qiao Yichen was silent, but his movements weren’t sloppy. He lifted the stool high and slammed it down hard on Zhou Bin’s right arm.
The crisp sound of bone breaking was immediately muffled by a cry of pain.
As expected.. That woman’s dirty secret should be air too.. I wonder what the parents ask QY to do? I hope this will be BE
