The School Beauty's Super Rogue-Chapter 303: Modified - 301 Guilt
Chapter 303: Modified: Chapter 301 Guilt
Qingshan City First People’s Hospital, special care ward.
In the ward where Qin Yuan, Qin Zhiwen, Qin Wuya, and Qin Wentian had stayed, the last guest of the Qin Family, Qin Langya, had finally arrived.
On the hospital bed, Qin Langya looked haggard and emaciated. His temples had turned snowy white overnight. Lying on the bed, he appeared like an aged man at the end of his wits.
In the ward, only Qin Wentian was by Qin Langya’s bedside, his expression equally somber, absentmindedly peeling an apple.
"Wentian, how are things outside?"
The air remained silent for a long time. Qin Langya’s fish-like lifeless eyes finally gained a little spirit, his cloudy eyeballs gently turned a few times, then he looked at Qin Wentian and asked.
Qin Wentian quickly put down the fruit knife in his hand and replied, "Father, now the entire city of Qingshan is in an uproar. After all, before this, no one believed our Qin Family would lose, and lose so badly."
Qin Langya heard his words and gently shook his head while lying on the bed, then smiled sadly.
"Haha, yes. I even staked my old face, brought out something like the Blood Transformation Powder, but still didn’t expect to lose."
As soon as Qin Wentian heard this, his expression changed instantly, a deep sense of guilt surged in his heart, and he knelt down at Qin Langya’s bedside with a thud, then said in a low, painful voice:
"I’m sorry, Father. It’s my incompetence. I never expected to be countered by Qin Hao in the end. If I hadn’t slipped up at this stage, the current situation wouldn’t be so dire."
Qin Langya painstakingly raised one hand, waved it lightly, and then said, "Wentian, saying all this now is meaningless. Besides, do you really think that if Qin Hao drank the Blood Transformation Powder, we could win?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Wentian’s expression suddenly changed to one of shock. Qin Langya’s long sigh full of complex sentiments sounded once again.
"I personally sparred with him. With Qin Hao’s strength, even with the Blood Transformation Powder suppressing him to less than half, I am no match for him."
After saying this, Qin Wentian was so shocked he almost jumped up directly, wanting to say something, but Qin Langya waved his hand again to stop him.
"Wentian, it’s come to this. What’s the point of dwelling on things that have already passed?"
He said this, then smiled self-mockingly, looked at Qin Wentian, was silent for a while, then spoke with difficulty: "We should reflect properly now."
"The Qin Family’s downfall today, isn’t it of our own making?"
Hearing this, Qin Wentian looked at his father’s dark expression and couldn’t hold back the bitterness in his heart any longer, tears fell instantly.
"Father... it’s my failure as a son, making you suffer such grievances."
Qin Wentian was sobbing, yet Qin Langya gently shook his head, closed his eyes.
All past events, like a movie, began to flash incessantly through his mind.
The Qin Family’s education of its children has always followed the cold law of the strong. Qin Wentian’s indifference to Qin Hao, in a sense, is merely the continuation of Qin Langya’s indifference to Qin Wentian.
Only talking about benefits, only talking about strength. Apart from that, this large Qin Family had no trace of human warmth. Now, having fallen into such a predicament, the contempt and disregard once shown to Qin Hao, and the scenes of when he was expelled from the house, all came rushing back to his mind.
A moistness gently appeared at the corners of Qin Langya’s closed eyes. He sighed deeply in his heart:
Perhaps, our Qin Family was truly wrong...
And meanwhile,
In another ward within the same hospital, Xiao Yu was leaning gloomily on the bed, while Song Changqing stood respectfully in front of him, the room’s atmosphere was oppressively tense.
"This Qin Hao, could he really be so formidable that even Qin Langya couldn’t handle him!"
Xiao Yu said with a dark face, incredulously.
The thought that Qin Langya would actually be defeated by Qin Hao was unbelievable to him. At the same time, his apprehension toward Qin Hao deepened severalfold.
Standing by the side, Song Changqing’s eyes flashed with a sly, venomous look upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, which quickly disappeared. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Then, he put on a deeply pained expression and said to Xiao Yu, "Young Master Xiao, now that Qin Hao will continue his arrogance, the thought of him humiliating you like this fills me with pain and anguish!"
Seeing Song Changqing’s pained look, Xiao Yu felt slightly warmed. Song Changqing had been serving the Xiao Family diligently and wholeheartedly for many years, truly a loyal subordinate.
Thinking this, he heard Song Changqing continue saying, "But, Young Master Xiao, haven’t you considered that Qin Hao’s true strength could really be that terrifying?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu’s face changed. He looked at Song Changqing and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Ahem, Young Master Xiao, I’m just wondering. After all, Qin Hao is a member of the Qin Family. You always have Qin Family members deal with their kin. Although ostensibly, there’s deep hatred, secretly, the Qin Family never manages to do anything to Qin Hao. In this, don’t you think there might be some trick?"
Song Changqing finished speaking, cautiously watching Xiao Yu, feigning a look of loyalty trying to consider for his master. Xiao Yu was initially stunned, then he quickly followed up:
"You mean, the Qin Family is just going through the motions. This duel was a performance for me, a double act. It’s not that Qin Hao is so powerful, but that Qin Langya simply doesn’t genuinely want to help me deal with Qin Hao?"
Song Changqing quickly lowered his head deeply and then said, "Ah, Young Master Xiao. These are just speculations. Without evidence, we can’t smear the Qin Family like this, especially since Qin Langya is still lying on the hospital bed. In my opinion, the Qin Family, if not having achievements, has at least made efforts!"
He said this, almost laughing with inner satisfaction. Xiao Yu, after all, was a simpleton. In terms of schemes, Song Changqing could play him like a puppet. Now, he had only subtly hinted a few words, and Xiao Yu immediately harbored suspicions towards the Qin Family, exactly as Song Changqing intended.
People often believe in their doubts and judgments.
Song Changqing wanted Xiao Yu to hold a grudge against the Qin Family, ultimately to destroy the Qin Family once and for all. Only then could the Song Family’s status remain secure.
Sure enough, after hearing Song Changqing’s words, Xiao Yu snorted coldly and said angrily, "Alright, say no more. I have my decision on this matter."
"Prepare a special car. Send me back to the Provincial Government today! Immediately! Not a second to delay. I don’t wish to stay a second longer in this Qingshan City!"
After saying this, Song Changqing quickly nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yu’s gaze was ice-cold as he glared hatefully out the window and coldly added, "Keep a close watch on the Qin Family for me. No matter their reasons, I will certainly not let them off!"
"Alright, Young Master Xiao, you can rest assured. Whether there’s anything fishy with the Qin Family, I’ll find it out for you!"
Song Changqing quickly suppressed his inner joy, respectfully replied, and then immediately left the room to arrange the special car, sending Xiao Yu back to the Provincial Government.
Just after Xiao Yu had packed up and left the hospital, Song Changqing then directly headed to Qin Langya’s ward.
He rudely barged in without even knocking.
Qin Wentian had just finished discussing with Qin Langya about Qin Hao. At this point, they were both filled with regret and guilt towards Qin Hao. They saw Song Changqing enter with a face of malicious glee.
"Oh dear, Elder Qin, your complexion is frightening. The Qin Family relies entirely on you to hold up the facade, you must take care to nurture your health and avoid any mishaps!"
Looking at Qin Langya’s miserable appearance, his schadenfreude was no longer concealed, although his polite words appeared concerned, they were extremely malicious in intention.
Qin Langya, naturally aware that Song Changqing had come to mock him, looked coldly, lying on the bed, and said directly in a chilly voice:
"Song Changqing, you can rest assured, I’m not dead yet!"
