Chapter 379: Chapter 0379: Will You Stay With Me?
"Thud!"
The chilling voice of Ye Xunhuan rang in his ears. Staring at Ye Xunhuan’s extremely calm expression, Qin Fangbin’s Adam’s apple moved convulsively as he involuntarily swallowed.
At that moment, the fear he had desperately suppressed erupted like a volcano, overtaking his face.
"Kneel or die?"
Ye Xunhuan’s chilling voice seemed as if it came straight from hell, bone-chillingly cold, devoid of any trace of emotion!
Then, under the incredulous gazes of the bodyguards brought by Qin Fangbin, the master of the not-so-insignificant Qin family in the capital let go of the dignity and pride of being a family head and, like a cowering dog, slowly slowly knelt down.
"Bang!"
The sound of Qin Fangbin’s knees hitting the ground was crisp.
He knelt!
The once haughty Qin Fangbin ultimately knelt before Ye Xunhuan.
He didn’t dare to gamble, or rather, he couldn’t afford to gamble.
Upon seeing this scene, the others in the room felt as if they were dreaming. Had they not seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that Qin Fangbin had actually knelt down!
Under everyone’s watch, Ye Xunhuan, as if a deity looking down on ants, gazed down from on high at the previously imperious Qin Fangbin and said calmly, "Was it you who hit Mu Ge on her face?"
"Yes..."
"Smack!"
No sooner had Qin Fangbin begun to speak than a hand whizzed by, followed by a crisp slap.
A slap sent Qin Fangbin crashing to the ground, with scarlet blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, not to mention a clear imprint of a hand on his face.
Qin Fangbin did not wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth but instead glared viciously at Ye Xunhuan, like a vengeful ghost.
At this moment, a humiliation like none he had ever experienced before dominated his heart, causing his eyes to turn blood-red and his expression to contort fiercely.
"You might be her father, but now she is my woman. Touch her again, and I won’t spare you!" Ye Xunhuan said coldly, "I might even kill you!"
"Don’t think I won’t do it. In my view, aside from giving Mu Ge life and bringing her into this world, you’ve given her nothing else!"
"What you have given her is merely an equivalent exchange, treating Mu Ge like a commodity, a pawn to gain immense benefits for yourself!"
"Everything you’ve done has been for your own sake, never once for her. Your eyes only see benefits!" Ye Xunhuan said coldly, "If it weren’t for the fact that you are Mu Ge’s father, I’d have shot you right now!"
Qin Fangbin’s eyes reddened, and he exchanged a fierce look with Ye Xunhuan.
"Now, get out of here. Leave by crawling on your knees!" Ye Xunhuan declared emotionlessly, "Otherwise, I will shoot you just the same!"
Qin Fangbin held his breath, his fists clenched tightly, glaring deathly at Ye Xunhuan.
"What, you’re unwilling?"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan once again pointed the dark, cold muzzle of the gun at Qin Fangbin.
One second, two seconds...
About ten seconds later, Qin Fangbin averted his gaze, lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and like a beaten dog, began to kneel and slowly move towards the exit.
In just a moment, Qin Fangbin had crawled to the doorway!
"Can I leave now?"
"Bang!"
A bullet answered Qin Fangbin.
The bullet grazed the top of Qin Fangbin’s head, whistling past and directly hitting the wall beside him.
Qin Fangbin was so scared that he collapsed onto the ground.
"Get lost, and never let me see you in Jiangzhong City again."
Qin Fangbin, with his people, left like a grandson, skulking away from the place.
After Qin Fangbin had left, Ye Xunhuan immediately threw the gun aside, then hurried to help Qin Muge, who was lying on the ground, and quickly untied the ropes binding her hands and feet and removed the cloth stuffed in her mouth!
"Are you all right?"
"Waah..."
The next moment, Qin Muge, having been freed, immediately clung to Ye Xunhuan and burst into tears, crying her heart out like a lost and helpless child, overwhelmed with sadness.
"It’s alright now, there’s nothing to fear anymore," Ye Xunhuan gently patted Qin Muge’s back.
Watching Qin Muge sob uncontrollably, Ye Xunhuan sighed softly to himself.
Before his arrival, Qin Fangbin must have made Qin Muge suffer, hadn’t he?
Why did Qin Muge have to end up with such a father?
Under Ye Xunhuan’s comforting, Qin Muge gradually stopped crying and slowly got up from his embrace.
"Are you okay?" Ye Xunhuan asked softly.
Qin Muge wiped the tears from her face, shook her head, and with a slight choke in her voice, said, "Thank you, if it weren’t for you..."
"It’s nothing!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "I promised you I would help you, and I will keep that promise!"
Then, somewhat embarrassed, Ye Xunhuan scratched his head, "You’re not upset about how I treated your dad, are you?"
Qin Muge shook her head, a tragic expression crossing her face, "I’ve completely given up on him. If I had a choice, I wish I weren’t his daughter!"
Initially, Qin Muge still harbored some hope for Qin Fangbin, after all, he was her biological father. Even if things were dire, he wouldn’t push his own daughter to death, would he?
But it wasn’t until Qin Fangbin appeared in front of her that she finally understood.
In Qin Fangbin’s eyes, she was not even considered a person, just an item to trade for benefits, merely a pawn!
He never regarded her as his daughter.
Especially the words Qin Fangbin spoke were utterly heart-wrenching, truthfully reflective, filling Qin Muge’s heart with despair, her soul turned pitch black, and her world plunged into unprecedented darkness.
Whenever Qin Muge remembered what Qin Fang had said, a sharp pain struck her heart. Why? Why do this to me? What did I do wrong?
Hearing Qin Muge’s words, Ye Xunhuan sighed softly. What had Qin Fangbin done to make his own daughter speak such words of despair?
Yet Ye Xunhuan did not ask further, instead softly saying, "It’s alright now, it’s all over, he probably won’t bother you again!"
"You don’t understand him, he will come again..." Qin Muge said bitterly, "He might even kill you!"
"Do you think he’s capable of that?" Ye Xunhuan lit a cigarette for himself and said, "Alright, you don’t need to worry. Rest well!"
"It’s getting late, I should head back now!"
As Ye Xunhuan stood up, about to leave,
Qin Muge suddenly clung onto him, "Don’t go tonight, stay with me, please?"
