Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Confession

The terrain of the Wild Bamboo Forest is remote, and even during the day it’s sparsely populated, let alone at night.

Xia Yanbing walked silently for almost half an hour.

Qin Yi was sweating nervously behind her, as Xia Yanbing almost tripped over herself absentmindedly a dozen times along the way.

Suddenly, Xia Yanbing stopped, turned around, and looked at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi sat up straight, ready to face Xia Yanbing’s questioning.

"I’m tired!"

Qin Yi: "..."

"Then sit down!"

Qin Yi got up to make way. Xia Yanbing, wearing high heels, would naturally be tired after walking such a long distance.

This time, it was Xia Yanbing in front and Qin Yi behind again.

Similarly, Qin Yi was dripping with cold sweat in shock.

Unlike before, Xia Yanbing now almost drove the wheelchair into the ditch by the roadside several times.

Qin Yi said speechlessly, "Can’t you concentrate a bit?"

After walking for about ten minutes, a few blinding lights accompanied by the roar of an engine approached from a distance.

The car stopped in front of Qin Yi, and Duan Xinyuan got out.

"Mr. Qin, are you okay?"

Qin Yi shook his head slightly.

Duan Xinyuan looked at Xia Yanbing, full of surprise, "Who is this?"

Unamused, Qin Yi said, "It’s because you couldn’t hold off the people from the Blood Evil Sect that my wife got captured."

Duan Xinyuan was shocked, "Is she okay?"

Qin Yi shook his head.

"Alright, go clean up the mess. Leave a car for me, we’ll talk later."

Duan Xinyuan nodded and left a car for Qin Yi before departing.

"Xiaobing, get in the car, let’s go home."

When Xia Yanbing stood up, Qin Yi tossed the wheelchair into the trunk, only to find Xia Yanbing already sitting in the driver’s seat.

"Xiaobing, how about I drive?"

Xia Yanbing said, "Can you drive?"

"Not very well. But I think I might be steadier at this moment than you."

Xia Yanbing seemed out of it and might end up driving like on a bumper car ride.

Xia Yanbing didn’t argue and moved to the passenger seat.

Qin Yi got in the car. Having driven once when rescuing Lan Jiaojiao, he was somewhat experienced, driving relatively steadily this time.

...

An hour later, the two of them returned to the Xia Family.

Once home, Xia Yanbing headed straight upstairs.

Dong Jinsu was watching TV. She only glanced back before returning her gaze to the screen.

This vulgar and disgusting old woman, with her eyes fixed solely on money and a life of luxury, cared for nothing else.

Xia Yanbing stopped at the staircase and looked back at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi got the hint and followed Xia Yanbing into the room.

"Xiaobing, if there’s anything you want to ask, just ask."

Xia Yanbing pondered for a long time, "I don’t know how to ask? Just tell me, what else are you hiding from me?"

Qin Yi smiled wryly, "Alright, I’ll confess everything."

"Liu Zhanyuan, Zhang Wenhao, and Dong Zhiping helped you a few times under my instructions."

Xia Yanbing widened her eyes, looking at Qin Yi in disbelief.

"So the person who’s been secretly protecting me all along is you?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

Xia Yanbing’s breathing became a bit heavy; it turned out her hero was Qin Yi. No wonder he knew immediately whenever anything happened to her.

"Also, I’m the one who acquired the shares in the Xia Group."

Xia Yanbing was dumbfounded. Actually, when Qin Yi mentioned Liu Zhanyuan and the others were his people, she should have realized.

But Xia Yanbing’s mind was in a state of total shock and not functioning well.

"I also own a villa, not far from our home."

"I healed Lin Zhiming, so he could awaken."

"Last time Lin Hongzhuang was cheated by a man she was set up with and almost got into trouble; I was the one who saved her."

"..."

With each revelation Qin Yi made, Xia Yanbing’s eyes widened, until eventually Qin Yi didn’t dare to say more, fearing she might faint from the shock.

"Xiaobing, are you okay?" Qin Yi asked cautiously.

Xia Yanbing’s eyes remained unblinking, staring blankly at Qin Yi.

"Xiaobing, please don’t scare me."

After a long while, Xia Yanbing managed to utter, "You’re scaring me."

Qin Yi smiled wryly, "I didn’t mean to, please don’t be angry."

Suddenly, Xia Yanbing stood up abruptly, walked into the bathroom, and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

Qin Yi was bewildered, leaning close to the bathroom door to listen... the sound of running water echoed inside!

"Xiaobing, are you alright?"

"I really was compelled, I actually wanted to tell you long ago."

"Don’t do anything foolish..."

Before Qin Yi could finish, the bathroom door swung open, and Xia Yanbing appeared expressionless, with sparkling water droplets on her face, even her hair sticking to her ears was wet.

Xia Yanbing just momentarily couldn’t process so much and needed to wash her face to calm down.

Seeing Xia Yanbing sitting by the bed in a daze, Qin Yi approached, "Are you alright?"

Xia Yanbing looked at Qin Yi with a blank expression, "Do you feel a sense of accomplishment manipulating everything from behind the scenes?"

"No!"

Actually, until today, Qin Yi did feel a sense of accomplishment. But he couldn’t admit it now.

"Qin Yi, in your eyes, am I just a monkey for you to play with?"

Qin Yi hurriedly shook his head, "How could you think that? Where can you find such a beautiful monkey... No, I mean, I just wanted to help you."

Xia Yanbing said expressionlessly, "You don’t mind me treating you coldly. You aren’t angry with my mom being hostile to you. Aren’t you looking down on us, these clowns, from high above, because you disdain to bother with us, right?"

Qin Yi got anxious, "How could you think that? Am I such a dark person in your heart?"

"I didn’t say anything because state regulations required it! I had no choice. But I couldn’t just watch you get bullied, so I could only help you in secret."

Xia Yanbing sneered, "Is it help or pity, or are you gods on high whimsically manipulating the fate of us monkeys?"

Qin Yi looked at her in disbelief, "Xia Yanbing, don’t go too far. Don’t you know what kind of person I am?"

"I only understand today that you’re a god on high, even Liu Zhanyuan bows to you, even the Duan Family befriends you. If you didn’t say anything today, I’d never understand you."

Qin Yi also got angry, "Xia Yanbing, don’t push it too far. I’ve never harmed you in any way with everything I’ve done!"

"If I were really above everything, would I have allowed you all to trample on my dignity in this house for so many years?"

"If I want, I can become the top elite of Yinfeng City anytime, drinking the most expensive wine, driving the most luxurious cars, living in the best houses, with countless beautiful women. Any big shot in Yinfeng City would bow and scrape to me."

"Xia Yanbing, if not for love, who would want to play the part of the bootlicker?"
