Chapter 738 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes!
I saw Qin Bin holding Qin Xiaolu hostage, and everyone was stunned.
In their eyes, Qin Bin had always been the most honest and kindest core member of the Qin family.
But now, Qin Bin made them feel cold and completely unfamiliar.
“I’m telling you, I never changed. You all forced me to become like this!” Qin Bin shouted hysterically.
Qin Xiaolu was almost about to faint.
At that moment, a figure flashed and appeared in front of Qin Bin.
“Crack!”
Qin Bin’s hand, which was tightly choking Qin Xiaolu’s neck, was forcibly broken.
“Ah…”
Qin Bin let out a shrill scream and stumbled backward.
Meanwhile, Qin Xiaolu collapsed on the ground, covering her bruised purple neck, gasping for air.
“Xiaolu!” Mr. and Mrs. Qin Changlong rushed forward and helped Qin Xiaolu up.
At this moment, Fang Yu was looking at Qin Bin, who was screaming in pain while holding his right arm.
“I see now. Although you practice martial arts… because you don’t have a spirit root, you can’t advance to the martial artist realm. Your martial arts are limited to the mortal level. No wonder I couldn’t sense any aura from you before. So that’s the reason…” Fang Yu scratched his head and said.
Fang Yu had instinctively assumed that someone obsessed with martial arts must be a martial artist, which was a preconceived error.
At the same time, something occurred to Fang Yu.
Both were children who wandered the streets, both without spirit roots.
Qin Wudao took Qin Bin home as his adopted son, just as Fang Yu had taken Qin Wudao from the streets years ago.
“Little Qin, you really try to imitate me in every way… unfortunately, your judgment isn’t very good,” Fang Yu thought.
Qin Bin sat on the ground, his expression twisted in pain and his forehead sweating from the intense pain in his right arm.
He knew everything was over.
“Regardless, I should tell you that you’ve misunderstood Qin Wudao,” Fang Yu looked at Qin Bin and said calmly. “He let you face threats on your own just to train you.”
“Train? Train what? I have nothing. How could I fight against Qin Changlong and Qin Jianjun!?” Qin Bin shouted.
“No… you’re wrong.” At this moment, Qin Jianjun walked out from behind and said, “Father had warned me and my older brother more than once not to harbor any ill intentions toward you. He also mentioned giving you a portion of the business assets that my brother and I control. However, we refused.”
Qin Bin stared at Qin Jianjun with wide eyes.
“I didn’t have to say these things. But I can’t stand how you’ve twisted father’s kindness toward you,” Qin Jianjun said solemnly. “Think about it, have you lived up to father’s expectations? His body isn’t even cold yet, and you’re already trying to kill your closest family members! What were you thinking?”
“Fourth Brother, you’ve made a terrible mistake this time. Family members can be disharmonious, can argue, but they shouldn’t commit fratricide! You should know that father passed away less than half a day ago! If he knew what you did… sigh.” Qin Weichao sighed heavily, unable to continue.
“You still call him Fourth Brother after what he’s done? He doesn’t deserve it! Without our Qin family, he would have starved to death on the streets decades ago! What an ungrateful wretch!” Qin Changlong’s wife, Liang Huarong, scolded while comforting Qin Xiaolu.
Qin Bin sat dumbfounded, turning to look at the mourning hall.
In the hall, Qin Wudao’s coffin was displayed with a photograph.
In the photo, Qin Wudao’s smile was kind, just like when they first met years ago.
Was he… wrong?
Qin Bin’s brain suddenly became very sluggish.
“Mr. Qin, may I say something?” At this moment, the well-dressed Lawyer Chen stepped forward.
“Go ahead,” said Qin Jianjun.
“Actually, when Old Mr. Qin made his will, there was an additional clause. But this clause would only take effect after Miss Qin Yimo officially became the family head, so I didn’t read it when announcing the will earlier,” Lawyer Chen said.
“What additional clause?” Qin Jianjun asked.
Lawyer Chen took out a document from his briefcase, extracted a page, and said: “After Miss Qin Yimo becomes the family head, if Mr. Qin Bin wishes, he may take one-fourth of the current Qin family assets and leave the family.”
After speaking, Lawyer Chen turned the paper around to show everyone, with a thumbprint stamped on it.
Hearing the content of the clause, everyone’s expressions changed.
One-fourth of the Qin family assets was an astronomical figure.
Qin Wudao had actually left such a huge fortune for Qin Bin!
Clearly, in Qin Wudao’s heart, Qin Bin’s status was equivalent to his three biological sons.
Qin Bin stared blankly at Lawyer Chen, then tears welled up in his eyes and rolled down his cheeks.
He finally realized he had made a terrible mistake!
Holding his broken right arm, he turned toward the mourning hall.
Seeing the photo of the kind old man, remorse and shame surged within Qin Bin.
He began to cry loudly, kowtowing forcefully before the coffin in the mourning hall.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
With each thud, Qin Bin’s head bled, his face covered in blood.
A deathly silence fell around them, no one speaking.
“Instead of showing remorse, why not tell me who instructed you… or rather, who instigated you to do this.”
At this moment, Fang Yu stepped forward and stood in front of Qin Bin, asking.
Qin Bin paused his kowtowing and turned to look at Fang Yu.
“With your intelligence and abilities, you couldn’t possibly have set up that poison array, and that flower pattern… someone must have been helping you. Tell us who it was, consider it your atonement,” Fang Yu said.
Qin Bin looked at Fang Yu, his entire body trembling.
He really wanted to tell him, he really did!
But he couldn’t!
Just thinking about those two figures, all courage drained from Qin Bin’s heart.
“If you won’t tell me, I’ll have to use forceful methods,” Fang Yu said as his phone vibrated in his pocket, and he lowered his head to retrieve it.
But at that moment, Qin Bin reached for his waist with his left hand and pulled out a sharp dagger.
The people around screamed in terror.
But in the next second, Qin Bin turned the blade’s point and violently stabbed it into his own left chest.
“Slash!”
The blade plunged directly into his heart, blood gushing out.
Fang Yu’s expression changed slightly as he immediately crouched down and placed his finger on Qin Bin’s forehead, quickly sending his divine consciousness into Qin Bin’s soul.
He hadn’t expected Qin Bin to commit suicide so decisively!
Qin Bin had shown signs of remorse, which was why Fang Yu had lowered his guard.
But unexpectedly, in the brief moment Fang Yu looked down to check his phone, Qin Bin had stabbed the dagger into his own heart.
His divine consciousness entered Qin Bin’s soul.
By now, the soul had begun to dissipate.
Fang Yu quickly searched through Qin Bin’s memories, but they were chaotic due to the soul’s dissipation.
Fang Yu used his divine consciousness to wrap around the dissipating soul, managing to capture several fragments of jumbled memories.
About ten seconds later, Qin Bin’s soul completely dissipated, and Fang Yu withdrew his divine consciousness.
Piecing together the chaotic memories he had glimpsed, Fang Yu could basically deduce why Qin Bin had committed suicide.
Qin Bin had a wife and child living in a high-end community in North City. Since this wasn’t public knowledge, no one in the Qin family knew about it.
He had met his wife through a man in his thirties whom Qin Bin referred to as Young Master Tang.
Before his death, the images constantly appearing in Qin Bin’s mind were of his wife and son.
So, it could be confirmed that Qin Bin had committed suicide to ensure his wife and child’s safety.
At this point, Fang Yu had a clear understanding of the situation.
A year and a half ago, Young Master Tang had found Qin Bin and introduced him to a woman.
Whether it was a mission or genuine love, the woman married Qin Bin and gave birth to a son.
From that point on, Qin Bin had been tied to Young Master Tang’s schemes, completely trapped.
Afterward, Qin Bin had likely received much instigation and provocation… in any case, during this process, he began to harbor resentment toward Qin Wudao and the other Qin family members, gradually becoming the perfect executor for tonight’s plan.
So today, with Qin Wudao’s death, the plan officially began execution.
If not for Fang Yu, this would have been a perfect plan spanning over a year.
The plan had started from the day the woman was introduced to Qin Bin.
