Chapter 245: Hatred
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“During that period of time, I often secretly followed Qin Sheng, ready to give him a good beating at the right time. But when I was following him once, I found out that he was meeting with a police officer, and I immediately understood — Qin Sheng was an undercover police officer.
“I told Zhu Yi about this. I said that Qin Sheng was here to destroy the Qinghe Gang, but Zhu Yi told me that they were done with committing crimes. There were good and bad people in the Qinghe Gang, and Qin Sheng was only here to catch the bad people. And whether Qin Sheng was a police officer or not, she still loved Qin Sheng.”
Qin Yu was in a daze when she heard that — so that was how much her father and mother loved each other back then..
“My snitching to Zhu Yi strengthened Zhu Yi’s determination to be with Qin Sheng. Later, she confessed her feelings to Qin Sheng and they decided to steer Qinhe Gang to the right side of the law together. They also got married very soon after.”
Qi Heng pounded his fist on the stone tablet in pain, “I can’t accept this! At that time, I was blinded by hatred, so when the organization came looking for me, I didn’t hesitate at all. I wanted Qin Sheng to leave Zhu Yi forever so that Zhu Yi would return to my side. So I told them everything about the Qinghe Gang. Because Zhu Yi had always treated me as her best friend, she told me everything about Qinhe Gang. I gave the organization key information. They worked together with the other people in Wu Sha and decided to get rid of Zhu Yi and Qin Sheng.
“The time I found out that Zhu Yi and Qin Sheng were dead, I was overseas taking part in a perfuming competition. I went crazy. During the competition, my heart was filled with regret and hatred. In the third round, I created a dark perfume. I didn’t expect that to be my winning masterpiece… how amusing.”
Qin Yu ‘s body trembled and she almost lost her balance.
“You, it was you! It’s you who killed my mother!” Qin Yu pointed at Qi Heng and shouted hysterically.
Qi Heng seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He laughed bitterly, “Go ahead and scold me. It’s indeed me who killed them. When I first saw you, I almost thought you were Zhu Yi. Your eyes are almost exactly the same as hers…”
“Shut up! You don’t deserve to talk about my mother!” Qin Yu glared at Qi Heng.
“After this incident, I was forced to join the organization…” Qi Heng leaned on the stone tablet tiredly, “Although I was the one who revealed the information to the organization, if it wasn’t for insiders in the police force, your father wouldn’t have died without being able to prove his identity. Speaking of which, everybody is just as guilty.”
Qin Yu’s breathing quickened. She gritted his teeth and said, “What else do you know?”
“That’s all. Since you’ve already investigated to this stage, I have nothing else to say. However, Tang Rou is innocent. She doesn’t know anything. That year, when I was drunk, I had a relationship with a woman in the streets. She gave birth to Tang Rou. Tang Rou isn’t from the organization. It was Ouyang who tricked her into returning to the country. Please don’t harm her.”
“So all these years, the only reason you didn’t care about her was to keep her at a distance from the organization. You knew that the organization would be exposed one day, right?” Qin Yu shook her head. “Why would you do it in the first place if you knew the consequences?”
“You can’t simply go against the organization.” Qi Heng laughed bitterly. “There’s nothing I can do. Once I’m in, I can never leave.”
“Indeed. Even Feng Song is part of the organization. It is indeed extremely difficult bringing all of you to justice.” Qin Yu laughed coldly.
“Feng Song… you have found him…” Qi Heng frowned, then sighed and did not speak anymore.
Ten days later, Qin Yu and the rest returned home.
Ever since the finals ended, Qin Yu’s entire character had changed. She did not speak much, and her eyes were very dull.
If not for the fact that she had become a member of the World Association of Perfume, Ah Nan would have assume Qin Yu lost.
“It can’t be. She has already entered the association. Why is boss still so unhappy?”
Ah Nan scratched her head.
Guan Yue only told her not to disturb Qin Yu but did not say anything else.
Qin Yu returned to M City.
Ning Chen came to pick her up. When he saw Qin Yu’s downcast look, he didn’t say anything. He just pulled Qin Yu into his arms.
“Chen,” Qin Yu’s voice was a little shaky. “My parents…”
“Don’t say it now.” Ning Chen hugged Qin Yu tightly. “Let’s go home first.”
“Okay.” Qin Yu sobbed and nodded.
After returning to the Ning family, Qin Yu collapsed on the bed in exhaustion. After a little nap, Ning Chen came with a bowl of porridge.
Qin Yu told Ning Chen all about Qi Heng. And Ning Chen patted Qin Yu’s head. “Xiao Yu, don’t be sad. Judgement will befall those who sinned.”
Qin Yu nodded and finished the warm porridge. Ning Chen wiped her mouth and mentioned something else.
“Grandpa is coming back soon.”
Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, but very soon she returned to her senses. “Is it because of Ning Jie’s arrest?”
