Yezi’s eyes were filled with shock and anger. She could not believe that her brother had colluded with her stepmother to do such a thing. No, this woman was not her stepmother at all. She was unworthy!
But how about Brother? He was her brother and the one lying on the bed was her father. Why would he do such a thing? Even if he didn’t do all of these, won’t he inherit everything?
Yezi muttered, “Why is this happening? Why…”
Liu Piaopiao walked towards Yezi conscientiously. She sighed and said, “I didn’t expect that you would wake up. I was too careless.”
Yezi looked at the approaching Liu Piaopiao. She had a stern look. She straightened and was fearless. At the same time, she looked around and suddenly saw a needle at the corner of the table. She immediately grabbed it and Liu Piaopiao stopped moving.
“I am the daughter of Ye Family and Ye Bancheng!” Yezi said proudly, “Ye Family can collapse, lie on the bed, but never retreat.”
Yezi brandished the needle and sneered. “Come on, come on.”
Liu Piaopiao didn’t go over. Looking at the needle in Yezi’s hand, she was also a little scared. She turned her head, looked at the door and shouted, “Come in. Missy is crazy. Come in quickly!”
Su Xiaoxiao was sitting on the sofa in Xiao Bing’s ward. She was watching Xiao Bing eat apples. Su Xiaoxiao said, “Brother Bing, look at all the major events that have occurred in the Ye Family. Why are you still here? Aren’t you nervous at all?”
Xiao Bing took a bite of the apple, stared at Su Xiaoxiao and said in surprise, “Do you think your Brother Bing is Buddha? Would my concern about Ye Family’s affairs be of any use?”
“Humph. You may say so, but you still care about them. Otherwise, why did you call me here and ask me to accompany you? Why did you get Lil Bei to dress up as a doctor and loiter around the entrance of Uncle Ye’s ward?”
Xiao Bing laughed and said, “Better to be safe than sorry.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Bing and asked, “Do you feel uneasy about Liu Piaopiao?”
“Well… sort of. After all, she is the wife of Uncle Ye, isn’t she?”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Perhaps, you feel uneasy about Ye Tianming?”
Upon listening to Su Xiaoxiao’s question, Xiao Bing’s eyes dimmed slightly. He sighed and said, “Sometimes, a fierce-looking dog may not be the scariest. A sheep, which appears gentle can remove its disguise in front of you and turn into a bloodthirsty wolf. That is the scariest.”
Su Xiaoxiao said surprisedly, “Do you mean that the handsome, gentle Ye Tianming is a wolf in sheep’s clothing?”
Xiao Bing smiled bitterly and said, “I didn’t say that. You guessed it yourself.”
After speaking, Xiao Bing’s cell phone suddenly rang. Upon looking at it, it was Lil Bei’s number. Xiao Bing’s expression changed and became extremely sullen. He got out of bed and stared coldly. He said, “Xiaoxiao, come with me.”
When Liu Piaopiao called for the bodyguards, instead of the bodyguards, a male doctor who was wearing a mask pushed open the door. The bodyguards, who were supposed to guard the ward fainted.
Both Liu Piaopiao and Yezi were dumbfounded. The doctor removed his mask and revealed a bright young face. He smiled brightly and said, “Hello, I am Lil Bei, Brother Bing’s buddy from the army.”
Liu Piaopiao exclaimed, “Xiao Bing’s man?” She was flustered.
Lil Bei laughed and said, “Brother Bing told me to pay attention to any activity in the corridor. Apart from my sharp ears, I have no other merits. So when I heard you call for the bodyguards, I then came in. Well, those two people outside who tried to stop me fainted.”
Lil Bei then looked at Yezi. He was still smiling brightly. He said, “Are you sister-in-law? I have seen you before, but you have not seen me. ”
Under normal circumstances, Yezi would probably talk to Lil Bei. However, at this particular moment, Yezi pointed directly at Liu Piaopiao and said, “Lil Bei, she killed Father. Help me catch her.”
“OK.” Lil Bei agreed. He immediately stepped forward and twisted Liu Piaopiao’s arm to the back. When Liu Piaopiao was about to say something, Lil Bei slapped her neck and Liu Piaopiao fainted.
Su Xiaoxiao helped Xiao Bing into the room and Gao Fei was following closely behind. Seeing Liu Piaopiao lying on Lil Bei, Xiao Bing asked, “Has the truth been exposed?”
Yezi looked at Xiao Bing and asked, “You already knew Brother was the mastermind?”
Xiao Bing sighed and said, “Your brother hid the truth extremely well. He is a shrewd careerist. I was almost cheated by him. I began to suspect him only recently. Let’s not say further. Where is your brother? ”
“He was brought to the police station.”
“You and Xiaoxiao stay here. Gao Fei will stay with you. Lil Bei will go with me. Bring this woman!”
Lil Bei supported Xiao Bing with one hand and grabbed the fainted Liu Piaopiao with the other. Yezi suddenly cried, “Brother Bing!”
Xiao Bing looked back and saw Yezi opening her mouth. She was hemming and hawing. Xiao Bing asked, “Do you want to say what will happen to your brother if the truth is confirmed?”
Yezi acknowledged and nodded her head.
Xiao Bing sighed and said, “Do you think that if your brother is not severely punished by law, the tragedy will not happen again?”
Yezi stopped talking.
Xiao Bing continued asking, “Do you think your brother will have a peace of mind if he escapes the law forever? He has killed so many people.”
Yezi sighed, looked at Xiao Bing and said earnestly, “Brother Bing, go ahead. Help me ask him why all these did…”
“OK.”
Xiao Bing agreed and left the ward with Lil Bei’s help. Yezi walked to the bedside of Ye Bancheng, squatted beside him and cried, “Father.”
They sat in a taxi and headed in the direction of the Criminal Police Brigade. Just halfway through the journey, Xiao Bing suddenly received a phone call from Yezi. As soon as he picked up the call, Yezi burst into tears over the phone. Xiao Bing felt something was amiss and asked, “Yezi, what’s the matter?”
“Father, Father… is gone.”
Xiao Bing felt sad. This old man was actually really good… Yezi must feel very depressed now. After dealing with Ye Tianming, Yezi would be the only person left in Ye Family. Xiao Bing could even imagine the lone and helpless Yezi.
Xiao Bing sighed deeply and said softly, “Yezi, when I am done with the matters at the police station, I will come back and accompany you.”
“Brother Bing… I’m so scared… Sobs… I’m so scared. I’m very sad…”
“I know, I know.” Xiao Bing’s nose twitched. Upon hearing his beloved woman cry, he was heartbroken as though a knife was cutting through his heart. He said, “From now on, I will be your loved ones and your lover. From now on, you can cry and laugh whenever you want. There will be nothing to hold you back. I will always support you and be your strongest backing.”
“But… why, why do I miss all the restrictions that once restricted me?”
“Yezi, wait for me.”
Xiao Bing heard Su Xiaoxiao comforting the crying Yezi. Xiao Bing quickly hung up the phone and covered his eyes with his hand. Lil Bei was surprised and asked, “Brother Bing, are you crying?”
Xiao Bing shook his head and looked out of the window. Tears slipped through his fingers. His voice was still so strong. He said, “Lil Bei, have you ever felt this miserable when your beloved woman cries forlornly.”
Lil Bei smiled bitterly and said, “There isn’t any woman whom I’m deeply in love with.”
Xiao Bing sighed and said, “Perhaps, I will have more responsibility in my future life.”
“Brother Bing, what about Ye Tianming? Do you really want to punish him severely? If he is really sentenced, Yezi will have no relatives in this world.”
“People will have to pay a price for doing something wrong…”
“Yezi has no relatives, so I am her relative.”
They arrived at the Criminal Police Brigade. When Xiao Bing and Lil Bei brought people in, Jiang Wanting was about to send Ye Tianming off. Upon seeing Xiao Bing’s sudden appearance, both Jiang Wanting and Ye Tianming were dumbfounded. Ye Tianming’s eyes dimmed when he saw Lil Bei carrying Liu Piaopiao.
Xiao Bing asked, “Tianming, do you welcome us? We come uninvited.”
“Why won’t I? The Criminal Police Brigade is not owned by my family.” Ye Tianming laughed and said, “Brother Bing, aren’t you recuperating? Why didn’t you listen to the doctor and run out? If my little sister knew, she would be angry.”
“I have a reason to be here. Lil Bei, wake this woman up.”
Lil Bei acknowledged and let Liu Piaopiao lean against the chair. Ye Tianming appeared uneasy and asked, “This woman is my stepmother. What have you done to her?”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “What did I do to her? You will know in a while.”
Lil Bei patted Liu Piaopiao’s pretty face. Liu Piaopiao woke up gradually. When she saw Xiao Bing, Ye Tianming and a group of policemen standing all around her, she woke up suddenly. She stood up panickingly and said puzzledly, “Don’t ask me anything. I don’t know anything.”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Aunt Liu, why are you so nervous? I didn’t say that I will interrogate you!”
Jiang Wanting was confused by Xiao Bing’s actions. However, ever since the last interaction with Xiao Bing, she had developed a strong liking for this man. Hence, she did not stop him, but stood by and quietly looked at what Xiao Bing was going to do.
