CHAPTER 251: CHAPTER 251: CONFESSION LETTER

Qin Yuanze lifted his chin proudly. "Quite successful, don’t you think? A vague rumor was enough to make the Su Family willingly throw away their daughter." After saying that, he couldn’t help bursting into loud laughter. His laughter was abruptly stopped by a kick from Wu Shi.

A wronged spirit brought in a stack of documents. Wu Shi raised an eyebrow as he read, "Qin Yuanze: illegitimate child, mother unknown, unruly by nature, disliked by all, dropped out of junior high."

Qin Yuanze’s face changed dramatically. "Don’t read it!"

"What did you use to threaten Qin Sheng, making him stand by you and brainwash those people for you?"

"He’s not human; he’s a madman. This is all his doing!"

"To cultivate a satisfactory heir, he orchestrated a grand scheme; even Su Qinnuan’s abduction was a result of his meticulous planning."

"He enjoys toying with everyone, making them suffer and struggle; only then can he feel alive."

Qin Yuanze’s eyes shone with a frenzied light. "If I hadn’t met Qin Sheng, I would never have known how capable I truly am. It was he who saw through the intelligence and exceptional business acumen hidden beneath my ordinary appearance."

Qin Yuanze’s expression suddenly shifted. "When news of Qin Jinhai’s death reached him last year, he became a different person. He said he didn’t want to play anymore; he wanted to destroy the Qin Family."

"If the Qin Family is destroyed, what becomes of me?"

"My life’s achievement is the Qin Family!" Qin Yuanze glared, his eyes bloodshot.

"I can die, but not before Qin Sheng. He’s the serpent who lured me into depravity, the one who fed my ambition. If I don’t watch him die with my own eyes, I won’t be able to rest in peace!"

Wu Shi slowly twirled his long fingers. "Do you think I’ll give you that chance?"

Wu Shi stood up and left quickly.

In the pitch-black night, only the light from a few car headlights pierced the darkness. Su Junxian and Lian Yingting stood beside their car.

Su Junxian asked, "What do you plan to do with these people?"

Countless ways to kill these people flashed through Wu Shi’s mind in an instant, but the thought of Fu Bing made him suppress the murderous urge.

"Death would be too easy for them. It’d be best to make them suffer thoroughly before sentencing them to death."

Lian Yingting spoke. "Do you need me to do anything?"

Wu Shi looked at him. "Do you want Han Hu to return as someone else?"

Lian Yingting met Wu Shi’s gaze directly. He noticed that when Wu Shi revealed his sharp side, he bore some resemblance to Qin Jinhai. People who walk the line between good and evil often share common traits.

"I respect her choices."

"Then let’s keep Qin Sheng around a bit longer. Once he completes his task, we’ll deal with him."

Neither Su Junxian nor Lian Yingting objected to Wu Shi’s suggestion.

The evidence gathered by Su Junhui, coupled with the confessions of Chen Yuan and Lei Yuan, clearly detailed the Qin Family’s past misdeeds. These had already been meticulously compiled by Qin Jinhai’s special assistant, Mu Lin. Once imprisoned, these individuals would never see daylight again.

Qin Yuanze and the others frantically tried to smear Qin Sheng, pushing all the blame onto him. Moreover, Qin Sheng’s psychological counseling practice had frequently been reported for misconduct, especially concerning his ’artist’ persona and his illegal interference in the psychological counseling of numerous cases. Every day such a person remained free, the unpredictability increased.

The trial was broadcast live, open to the public. The crowd trembled with rage.

The only fact concealed was that Fu Bing was the Su Family’s daughter. Su Junxian and Qin Jinhai were both adamant about this. Su Junxian was too ashamed to announce it at this time, while Qin Jinhai insisted that Fu Bing would not learn of her origins until the Su Family made a proper gesture of reconciliation. The judiciary also preferred Fu Bing not get involved at this time. Her fanbase and social influence were too significant, and they currently had no better way to manage the immense dissatisfaction from such a large number of supporters.

And so, the curtain fell on the Qin Family.

Qin Sheng was indifferent to the Qin Family’s fall; he devoted himself to Han Hu’s treatment with an almost fanatical fervor. To prevent any manipulation during the treatment, Qin Jinhai even enlisted over a dozen top psychologists to monitor Qin Sheng’s hypnosis sessions and the construction of the new personality from an adjacent room.

Qin Sheng’s professional abilities were indeed unparalleled. Simultaneously, they also detected Qin Sheng’s gradually deteriorating mental state. Every psychologist needs regular sessions with their supervisor to release absorbed negative energy. Evidently, Qin Sheng was too formidable to have a supervisor. He had no outlet for his negative energy. Consequently, people became his playthings. The psychologists monitoring Qin Sheng played this role, warning him when they sensed he was nearing the edge of losing control.

Qin Sheng was extremely displeased with this arrangement, his dissatisfaction growing throughout the process of constructing Han Hu’s new personality.

Li Yuan arrived amidst his mounting discontent. Much of the fervor in Qin Sheng’s eyes dissipated. Li Yuan looked at him coldly.

Qin Sheng concluded the day’s treatment and quickly walked towards Li Yuan. "You know everything?" Qin Sheng’s voice was laced with apprehension and unease.

Li Yuan’s eyes were devoid of emotion, cold and still. "Have you enjoyed yourself these past few years?"

"Enjoyment, and guilt."

"You’ve ruined the lives of Jinhai and Fu Bing! How can you possibly compensate them?"

"My life."

"Do you think your life is so valuable? If you die, will Jinhai and Fu Bing’s suffering vanish? Can a derailed life be set back on course?"

Qin Sheng frowned, displeased. "I didn’t do it intentionally."

"If it had been intentional, wouldn’t we all be long dead?" Li Yuan’s teeth chattered with rage. "How do you plan to give Jinhai a path back? He is to live in the light from now on; you must take full responsibility for everything you forced him to do. Otherwise, I will never let you off!"

Fu Bing was put on a pedestal, her reputation impeccable. If Jinhai’s reputation remained as it was, their relationship would be met with criticism.

Qin Sheng asked, "Is that all you came to say to me?"

"What else?" Li Yuan stared at him. "Even now, after everything, you refuse to apologize to me and our two sons. Do you still expect me to be deeply in love with you?"

Qin Sheng pursed his lips, looking at Li Yuan intently for a moment. "I will give you a satisfactory answer."

「That night.」

Qin Sheng sat at the desk in the presidential suite of the Di Jing Hotel, gazing at the dazzling lights of Yu City. He realized his life had been a wretched failure, with nothing ever going his way. He had always believed himself to be superior, capable of altering others’ lives with a mere flick of his finger. Ultimately, he discovered he hadn’t lived well at all. He was cold, incapable of experiencing vitality, passion, or the vibrant clamor of life. He had never even known the simplest warmth of a family, believing such things would obstruct his path forward. Only now did he understand that his path had been entirely wrong.

Qin Sheng opened a stationery set and slowly began to write. The words "Confession Letter" stood out starkly on the clean paper.

"I am Qin Sheng. The luckiest part of my life was having a virtuous and resilient wife, and two beautiful, intelligent sons. I thought my life would continue on so smoothly.

"After five years, I grew weary of it all, desperate to escape my family.

"I found a man who greatly resembled me for my wife, threatened him into playing my role, and made him a puppet in my grand design."
