Chapter 141: Chapter 138: Fatherly Love Like a Mountain

Qin Xue was having a great time in her childhood room, her face beaming with happiness.

Father Qin busied himself, hiding all thoughts of his late wife, along with photos and the urn, fearing that seeing them might unsettle his daughter.

He was now quite certain that his daughter had returned. From the name Xuexue to her love for strawberry-flavored cake, all signs pointed to her being his daughter. More importantly, his heart told him she was unmistakably his daughter.

Father Qin didn’t know what had happened to his daughter, but he knew it couldn’t have been good.

Anyway, as long as his daughter was alive, it was the greatest solace to Father Qin.

After tidying up, Father Qin noticed someone outside in the yard and immediately went out; he knew that the person was likely related to his daughter.

"Who are you?" Father Qin asked.

The two people were Ye Fan and Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu wasn’t in her police uniform, so Father Qin couldn’t immediately identify them.

"We’re police officers," Zhang Lu revealed their identities.

"You’re here to arrest my daughter?" Father Qin’s body trembled, nearly fainting. How could he not understand that his daughter must have committed a crime, attracting the police? Surely, his daughter’s return was also inseparable from these two people.

The reality was indeed as Father Qin imagined. If it hadn’t been for Ye Fan subduing K12, and Zhang Lu’s intense interrogation causing Qin Xue’s mental breakdown, none of this would have happened.

"Don’t worry or panic," Ye Fan quickly said.

The three of them moved to a secluded corner, and Father Qin was about to kneel, but Ye Fan and Zhang Lu supported him.

"What are you doing, old man?" Zhang Lu asked helplessly.

"Can you tell me what happened? What happened to my daughter? Where has she been all these years? What did she do?" Father Qin pleaded, "I want to know everything about my daughter, I beg you, considering I’m on my last legs, please tell me, you must know."

Even if Father Qin died, he wanted to know about his daughter’s situation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to rest in peace.

He looked at the two with pleading eyes, and Ye Fan said seriously, "I don’t know about this, you can ask her."

Ye Fan indeed didn’t know. It was Zhang Lu who was aware of Qin Xue’s past.

Seeing Father Qin’s gaze, Zhang Lu composed her words and said in a low voice, "After your daughter got into trouble, we kept tracking her whereabouts. Until recently, in an operation, we captured your daughter. Those who took her were a group of criminals who trained her to be an assassin. She doesn’t remember anything from her childhood. Recently, there have been frequent child abduction cases, linked to the criminals behind your daughter. During interrogation, your daughter experienced a personality split, leading to you finding her. We must apprehend your daughter; otherwise, it’s extremely dangerous."

Zhang Lu didn’t reveal too much about Qin Xue’s crimes but gave a concise explanation.

How could Father Qin not understand? It must have been those criminals who harmed his daughter into becoming like this. He could guess that his daughter must have done many bad things; even the recent child abduction cases might be inseparably connected to her.

Father Qin gazed at Zhang Lu with gratitude, acknowledging that she spared his feelings by not disclosing too much of his daughter’s crimes. Yet, his thoughts turned to a sigh, murmuring to himself, "What a sin, how could such a misfortune befall the Qin Family? My deceased wife won’t rest in peace, while our daughter was harmed by criminals and committed numerous crimes."

"After you arrest my daughter, what do you plan to do with her?" Father Qin asked through his tears.

"Well..." Zhang Lu was momentarily silent; this was indeed a difficult question. Extracting information from Qin Xue seemed impossible, and it wasn’t feasible to let her live. Given Qin Xue’s crimes, even executing her a hundred times wouldn’t be excessive.

"I know what fate awaits my daughter. No matter what, if she’s committed crimes, she must face legal consequences." Father Qin’s eyes were dim, but he understood thoroughly and pleaded, "Can you grant me one request? Let me feed my daughter a piece of cake, then you can arrest her. When the time comes, just return her body to me."

Father Qin had endured too much hardship, having buried his wife with his own hands. His daughter had been missing for nineteen years, three months, and eight days. He had lived a life of anguish for so many years, and now, his daughter had returned home only for such misfortune to arise again.

"It’s not that we don’t want to fulfill your request; we want to meet any of your requests as much as we can. However, Qin Xue’s current condition stems from recalling her childhood and the deeds she did as an assassin. She can’t withstand such a massive shock, leading to her mental split. Her emotions are very unstable now, and if she reverts to her assassin persona, we’re afraid she might harm you. Such an eventuality would mean a daughter harming her father, which would be another massive blow for her." Zhang Lu earnestly advised, "I think you wouldn’t want to risk your life, allowing your daughter to commit patricide, would you?"

"Her strength is terrifying; with a little force, she could easily crush an ordinary person. You shouldn’t take this risk. For the sake of briefly reuniting warmly with your daughter at the cost of your life, we can understand, but you must also consider your daughter’s wellbeing. With her disordered mind, if she were to know she had done something disrespectful to her father, the torment she might endure is unimaginable."

Ye Fan emphasized on the side.

The two of them had to consider Father Qin’s safety to prevent any mishap.

Father Qin felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his heart filled with sorrow. The two didn’t lack valid reasons. He wasn’t afraid of dying, but he feared dying at his daughter’s hands, bringing unimaginable harm to her. So now, he didn’t know what to do.

"Is it unlikely that my daughter would lose her sanity?" Father Qin asked.

"That’s hard to say; perhaps it won’t happen, but perhaps her mind might disorder at any moment." Zhang Lu didn’t conceal the truth.

"I see, then I’d rather take the risk. I can’t possibly let my daughter go without doing anything. Even if it means dying, it’s all right. In this life, if I can see my daughter once before I die, I’m already content."

"I must cherish this short time spent with my daughter."

"Even if, by some mischance, I face misfortune at my daughter’s hands, with her state of mind, she probably wouldn’t remember much, would she? At least, if she kills me, she’ll certainly not know who I am, right?"

"In that case, then I don’t have anything to worry about anymore."

"I implore both of you to grant this wish, let me reunite with my daughter."

"If tragedy ensues, I ask you to find someone to sell my house, allowing our family of three to sleep together."

Father Qin thought it over and made this decision.

Ye Fan and Zhang Lu exchanged a glance and could only agree in silence.
