The Qin house is bustling with noises. Inorder to celebrate their son's graduation, the Qin parent invited almost everyone well known in the business world.
"Old Qin, I admire you for having such a good son. If my sons are half as good as your son, I wouldn't be worrying about my future business." A short middle aged man has a face full of smiles as he talks to the Qin's head. Although he seems to be born with an honest looking face, everyone knows that deep down in this Cheng family's head is a cunning old fox. Cheng Bi Duan specializes in being afraid of the strong and bullying the weak. Most of the business owners know that Cheng Bi Duan only makes that dog face in front of a big business owner. Cheng Bi Duan's unethical business practice of swallowing smaller promising companies has angered many people. The guests in this party have a not so friendly or distant attitude to Cheng Bi Duan.
"This is the young people's era. Let them crawl and fall on their own. They will eventually get up. Those who interrupt the natural flow will eventually get retribution" After saying this, Qin Tian left to welcome the other guests.
Cheng Bi Duan's face immediately darkens. He can hear the laughter from the other guests. Everyone understands Qin Tian's meaning behind those words. He's calling him out for illegally taking other companies. Hmph Qin Tian! When I rise to the seat of the business leader, I will have my ways to make your old bone bow down.
Qin Tian went to the center of the hall. "Today is my son's graduation day. He has grown a lot since high school. As a father, I am very proud. I would like to congratulate him and all the young men out there for this very day." There was a round of applause. Qin Tian raised his glass and slightly pushed Qin Shi Ran to the front.
"Thank you everyone for attending my aging ceremony. There is a lot that I've gone through since high school and I want to give all my thanks to a certain someone." Qin Shi Ran's eyes fixate towards the window. Some of the guests turned to the window, but they did not see anyone. "I also want to thank my friends and family for supporting me all the way through…" Qin Shi Ran moved his gaze smoothly as if that pause did not exist.
Qin Shi Ran continued his speech for a while. After he was done, the guests started praising Qin Shi Ran again with some honesty and some fakeness. Qin Shi Ran was forced to stay next to his father to deal with all the wine and alcohol sended their way.
"Wa, Qin young master has such a good hold of alcohol. I am very ashamed of myself." a young man dressed in a suit flattered.
"Yes, yes. Qin young master was as strong as his father when he was young."
People gathered around Qin Shi Ran as they tried to introduce their son or daughter. Because of their family influence, many people tried to climb up through the power of the Qin family and one of the ways is marriage.
Han Bing sat in the middle of the garden as she felt the night breeze. She's wearing a light green dress today. The dress is smooth and silky. If she was to stand up and dance, people might mistake her for a fairy.
Han Bing heard some shuffles in the back. She turned around and saw a drunk Qin Shi Ran. His face is red from the alcohol and his top buttons were loose. It seems that this time he was forced to drink a lot. "Han Bing hiccup I…"
Qin Shi Ran tried to stand still and gain some clarity. Han Bing slowly rolled to him. "Han Bing, I really like...umph"
Qin Shi Ran directly fell onto Han Bing. There is a needle that latched onto his neck. Han Bing took out the needle and carefully placed it in a handkerchief.
She brought Qin Shi Ran onto her lap and rolled the chair with one of her hands while the other hand supported Qin Shi Ran. A maid passed by and jumped. "Lady Han Bing, what happened to the young master?"
Han Bing smiled like usual. "He drank too much. Let him sleep for a while."
The maid has a face of understanding. "Do you need any assistance?"
Han Bing shakes her head. "It's fine. It's pretty late already. You should rest first."
The maid took another look at Qin Shi Ran and left. Han Bing carrying Qin Shi Ran to his room is a common occurrence. There were many times when Han Bing purposely overdid it during the training, and the one who brought Qin Shi Ran back was Han Bing. The maids and butlers in the household were completely used to Han Bing's strength.
On the way to Qin Shi Ran's room, Han Bing met a couple of other servants. She greeted them as natural. Han Bing opened the door to Qin Shi Ran's room. Qin Shi Ran's room is extremely big with a king size bed on the inside. His books were organized neatly on the shelf and his table only had a couple of writing tools placed in order. Han Bing slowly placed Qin Shi Ran on the bed.
She stared at his face for a long moment. Qin Shi Ran. This time, we are even.
Qin Shi Ran woke up semi-consciously. Di. Di. The heart monitor continued to make sounds. Qin Shi Ran saw father pacing back and forth in the room while his mother was crying on the side. Where am I? Where is Han Bing?
Qin Shi Ran felt like there was sand in his throat. "Mom, where is this place? What happened?"
Yang Li Mi was surprised by his voice and immediately stopped crying. Qin Tian also stopped pacing. Both of them went close to their son.
Yang Li Mi spoke first. "Shi Ran, do you still feel hurt anywhere?" Yang Li Mi and Qin Tian looked at their son worryingly.
Qin Shi Ran didn't understand what was going on. He tried to get up, but something was wrong. "Mom, I can't feel my legs." When Yang Li Mi heard this, she started bawling again.
Qin Shi Ran tried to move his legs multiple times, but he failed again and again. What is this? Why can't he move them?
Qin Tian couldn't watch his son injuring himself anymore, so he placed his hands firmly on his shoulder. "Shi Ran, I want you to listen to me carefully. Your legs were injured heavily. Someone broke into your room last night and drugged you."
This news was too explosive for Qin Shi Ran. Someone tried to ruin his legs last night?! Who would want to do that? A name appeared in his head, but Qin Shi Ran shocked it away. Han Bing wouldn't do that to him.
Qin Tian observed his son after he told him the information. "Shi Ran, we checked the security camera. The only person who went to your room was Han Bing."
Qin Shi Ran's eye pupil dilated. No. Han Bing would never do that to him. "Afterwards, we tried to find her, but it's like she disappeared from this world. There wasn't any trace of her left."
Qin Shi Ran tried to argue. "How about the window?! Someone might have tried to kidnap her."
Qin Tian gave Qin Shi Ran a look. " We checked everywhere. There were no signs of anyone coming into your room except for her."
At this point, even though Qin Shi Ran tried to not believe it, he was forced to face this reality. Yang Li Mi was also shocked by Han Bing's betrayal. She never thought that Han Bing would actually hurt her son. Usually, they may have a small argument, but it was always quickly resolved. Is it for money? Then, why didn't she ask for a higher rate or ask Shi Ran for help?
Yang Li Mi felt like none of this makes sense. "Shi Ran, quickly think. Did you do anything to her?"
"We don't even need to think, she must have been bribed by another company." Qin Tian felt his anger rising again. The Qin family did nothing to her and her mother, but just because of the profit in front of her eyes, she harmed his son.
"No! Han Bing is not that type of person! It was me… I'm the one at fault" Qin Shi Ran lowered his head.
The car accident that broke Han Bing's leg was explained in full detail. Qin Shi Ran did not cover anything. After listening to the story, Qin Tian slowly sat on the seat. He pressed his fingers to his nose. This is his retribution. If he did raise his son properly, none of this would have happened.
