"Father..."
Qian Xunji stood at the door of the hospital room. Looking at Qian Daoliu, who was furious beyond measure, he called out in fear, "Father."
"Heh, you still know I'm your father?"
"Do you know Bibi Dong is your daughter?!"
Qian Daoliu practically roared those words. Even the medical staff passing nearby were startled, nervously looking toward him.
Qian Xunji stammered, unable to say anything. After all, it was indeed because of his indulgence toward Bibi Dong that things had ended this way.
He bore almost the primary responsibility for this.
"Kill Bibi Dong..."
Qian Daoliu sighed and slowly uttered those words.
Qian Xunji felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar upon hearing them. His entire body trembled uncontrollably, and even his voice shook as he spoke.
"Father... no... Dong'er... Dong'er, she... she was only carried away in a moment of confusion. Father, believe me. I can definitely make her turn over a new leaf."
Qian Daoliu's gaze toward Qian Xunji was filled with disappointment. He had never expected his son to become like this.
For the sake of a woman, he had completely disregarded the bigger picture.
"Qian Xunji! Don't you understand yet? From beginning to end, there was never any place for you in her heart. That Yu Xiaogang is still locked up in prison!"
Qian Xunji froze for several seconds upon hearing this, before madness and fury once again filled his eyes.
"That useless Yu Xiaogang! Damn it! I regret not killing him last time!"
"No... I'll go kill him right now."
Unrestrained rage burned in Qian Xunji's eyes as he spoke. He turned and was about to head toward the prison, when a weak yet furious shriek suddenly rang out.
"Qian Xunji, if you dare touch Yu Xiaogang, I'll kill myself right now."
Qian Xunji's steps immediately halted, while Qian Daoliu's brows sharply furrowed.
The voice belonged to Bibi Dong in the hospital room. She had already awakened from the initial treatment, and the moment she woke, she heard that Qian Xunji intended to kill Yu Xiaogang. How could she not be agitated?
Qian Xunji took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling continuously. In the end, he calmed down and spoke to Qian Daoliu.
"Father, please leave this matter to your son. I will definitely handle it properly."
Seeing the determination in Qian Xunji's eyes, Qian Daoliu ultimately only nodded silently before turning and vanishing from the spot.
Qian Xunji strode into the hospital room. With just a glance from him, the medical staff hurried out and closed the door behind them.
Qian Xunji looked at the pale-faced Bibi Dong. The rage in his eyes gradually subsided, replaced by a trace of reluctance. Yet that trace was quickly concealed.
Bibi Dong's injuries were not serious. In addition, the two healing-type Soul Masters treating her were both Soul Sage-level, so her injuries were quickly stabilized.
Of course, that was also thanks to Lin Haosheng holding back. Otherwise, if it had been another Titled Douluo—even one like Snake Spear or Du Busi—Bibi Dong would probably have needed to lie in bed for at least half a year after taking that blow.
Lin Haosheng naturally would not go too far. After all, he knew Bibi Dong's identity. Some matters were better left to her own family.
An outsider's intervention would only be improper...
Especially given the unclear relationship between Lin Mo and Qian Renxue...
No matter how one put it, Bibi Dong was still Qian Renxue's mother.
It was also clear from the original work that, regardless of how Bibi Dong treated Qian Renxue, there was still a measure of familial affection between them.
Blood ties were strange things, difficult to sever. There were some matters that only the two parties themselves could resolve; it was difficult for anyone else to interfere.
Lin Haosheng naturally would not plant hidden dangers in his grandson's future path of love. A simple lesson was enough, so the attack had not been fatal.
"Bibi Dong! How dare you? How dare you?!"
When Qian Xunji said this, his tone contained both anger and a faint, nearly imperceptible pain.
Bibi Dong merely sneered, her smile carrying a hint of madness.
"Hahahaha, Qian Xunji, why wouldn't I dare?"
"You raped me, imprisoned me, and made me give birth to that bastard. Did you really think I would obediently remain your canary in a cage?"
"I want to kill Qian Renxue. I want to kill that Lin Mo."
"Why? Why could Qian Renxue find her own happiness at such a young age?"
"Why? Why was Qian Renxue's lover so perfectly matched with her?"
"Why, when the two of them stood together, did everyone call them a match made in heaven? No one objected, no one stopped them—there were only congratulations, only congratulations!"
"Jealousy! I'm jealous to the point of madness! Hahahaha... More importantly, Qian Renxue has your blood flowing through her veins—the blood of the Qian family!"
"Haha... haha! Kill her, destroy your Qian family! Destroy your Qian family!"
Bibi Dong looked utterly deranged now, having fallen into an extreme state of frenzy. If Lin Mo were here, he would only have one comment.
Why did she look like she was high?
"Madwoman!"
Qian Xunji let out a low roar. His brows were tightly knit, and only after a long while did they slowly relax. A smile bloomed on his face again, except this one carried a hint of terror.
"Very well, Dong'er."
"Since you're so unwilling to be with me, I'll kill Yu Xiaogang first, then imprison you forever. How does that sound?"
"Before killing him, I'd better torture him a little. I'll use the methods meant for dealing with evil soul masters. Hahahahaha..."
Bibi Dong's gaze suddenly turned icy, and her crazed smile vanished. She looked at Qian Xunji with extreme terror and hatred in her eyes.
"Qian Xunji! If you dare touch Yu Xiaogang, I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
"Hahahaha... Kill me? Are you worthy?"
"What would I, Qian Xunji, dare not do? You don't really think some insignificant Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can threaten me, do you?"
"Hahahaha... How laughable..."
"Since you refuse to be with me, then let your old lover suffer first."
After saying that, Qian Xunji turned to leave. But suddenly, a heart-wrenching cry rang out behind him.
"No! Qian Xunji, you bastard!"
"I was wrong! I really was wrong! Please, don't touch Yu Xiaogang. I'm begging you."
"As long as you spare Yu Xiaogang, I'll agree to anything. I'll agree to anything."
A sinister smile curled across Qian Xunji's lips as he stood with his back turned. He slowly turned around, sunlight shining behind him and casting a thick shadow.
It nearly swallowed all the light in the room.
He had already thought of the perfect solution: cripple Bibi Dong and truly turn her into a bird in a cage, a canary.
Bibi Dong's betrayal had nearly driven him mad, but now, seeing this woman beg before him, he felt nothing but exhilaration.
Now, it was time to collect some interest.
The curtains were drawn shut from outside, and the door was locked.
Powerful soul power at the level of a Titled Douluo formed layer after layer of barriers, sealing off the area.
Perhaps Qian Renxue would soon have a younger brother or sister.
