Chapter 138 cannot conceal your selfish nature.
Fu Xingze had gone mad, and he continued to swing the knife in his hand. Lin Qingran's hand was cut, and blood gushed out instantly, dripping onto the ground.
Upon seeing this, Bo Ye's eyes widened in anger, and with a roar, he leaped forward and kicked Fu Xingze away.
"You brat, are you going to kill your mother?!"
Fu Xingze fell to the ground, his previously crazed eyes freezing the moment he saw Lin Qingran injured and bleeding.
He stared blankly at Lin Qingran, the madness on his face gradually fading, replaced by a trace of panic and regret.
Lingdang trembled in Lin Qingran's arms and burst into tears.
Those around were so stunned by the scene that they held their breath, and time seemed to stand still.
Moments later, the police reacted quickly and rushed forward to subdue Fu Xingze.
Lin Qingran looked at her injured hand, then at Fu Xingze being subdued by the police. The mystery in her heart instantly cleared up; the disappearance of the bell was indeed a farce orchestrated by Fu Xingze himself.
Her body trembled with anger and pain as she broke down and cursed.
"Fu Xingze, how could you be so heartless? Lingdang is your own sister!"
A hint of grievance flashed in Fu Xingze's eyes as he explained loudly, "Mom, I just don't want you to be taken away by someone else. I want you to love only me. Ever since we got Lingdang, you've been less attentive to me, and I'm so afraid of losing you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran burst into tears. She couldn't understand why her son would have such an extreme idea, and her heart was filled with despair.
"Haven't I made myself clear enough? Haven't I told you that no matter what, you are still my son? Why are you doing this?"
Lin Qingran felt as if her heart had been torn into countless pieces by Fu Xingze's actions, and a chilling coldness spread throughout her body.
Her eyes were cold as she spoke resolutely.
“From this moment on, I sever all ties with you. I have no son like you.”
Fu Xingze was struck dumb, his heart shattered. He knelt down with a thud, tightly hugging Lin Qingran's legs, sobbing and pleading.
"Mom, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please don't leave me."
Lin Qingran remained expressionless and unmoved. She forcefully pried Fu Xingze's hand away and turned to leave with Bo Ye and the others.
Fu Xingze collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at their departing figures, tears streaming down his face, filled with endless regret.
On the way back, Lingdang clung tightly to Lin Qingran, as if she were still shaken.
After a long while, she said quietly.
“Mom, it seems like the medicine that woman gave me had a problem, so I woke up in the lab. Then I heard my brother and a woman secretly plotting something bad. I was terrified, knowing that if they found out I was awake, they would definitely hurt me, so I had to keep pretending to be unconscious.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran was shocked and filled with lingering fear.
She gently stroked the bell's head, comforting it.
"Baby, you did the right thing. Don't be afraid, Mommy will protect you. Now get some sleep and don't think about anything."
She was probably too tired, and soon Lingdang fell asleep.
Seeing Lingdang's face scrunched up even in her sleep, Lin Qingran was filled with remorse and blamed herself.
"It's all my fault. I didn't listen to you before and believed Fu Xingze so easily."
Susukino gently took her hand and comforted her tenderly.
“This is not your fault. He hid it too well. No one would have thought that a child would be like this.”
Lin Qingran was still unable to let it go and exclaimed in amazement.
"How old is he? How could he be so vicious? In order to have me all to himself, he didn't hesitate to hurt his own sister and even got involved with Zhou Lan and the others."
Her eyes were filled with confusion; she couldn't reconcile the image of her adorable and sensible son from a few days ago with that of the devil he was now.
The atmosphere inside the car was heavy and oppressive, with only the sound of Lingdang's breathing in Lin Qingran's arms offering a slight comfort to her broken heart.
Upon arriving at the police station, Fu Xiuheng also rushed over.
He walked straight to Lin Qingran and explained anxiously.
"Qingran, I really didn't know things would turn out this way. I only secretly leaked Zhou Lan's criminal evidence to Lin Beicheng, hoping he would handle it. I really never instructed Xingze to do anything bad."
Lin Qingran looked at him coldly, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
"But Fu Xingze is your son. How can you say you bear no responsibility for him becoming like this?"
Fu Xiuheng was speechless and lowered his head.
Seeing this, Lin Qingran's anger did not subside, but instead surged even more fiercely.
She glared angrily and shouted.
"The root cause of Fu Xingze's heinous acts lies with you! As his father, you never properly guided him, leading him down this wrong path. You and your son are not worthy to stand before me and speak!"
After saying that, she held Lingdang's hand tightly, turned around and walked towards the medical room in the police station, leaving Fu Xiuheng standing there, full of regret and self-blame.
After a long while, Fu Xiuheng subconsciously wanted to lift his foot and follow Lin Qingran, but Bo Ye stopped him.
Bo Ye looked sharply into his eyes and asked.
"When did you find out that Lin Beichen wasn't Shen Pei'an's?"
Fu Xiuheng seemed to have all his strength drained away, and explained helplessly.
“I had a feeling about it two years ago, but I didn’t have any evidence at the time. I’ve been investigating in secret, and I wanted to tell Qingran after I was sure. I didn’t want her to be disappointed, nor did I want her to be in danger.”
Fu Xiuheng continued, "It wasn't until I heard that Qingran had met Shen Pei'an, but she showed no unusual reaction after leaving the Lin Group, that I became certain that the current Shen Pei'an was Lin Beicheng. I originally wanted to use Lin Beicheng to bring down Zhou Lan, and also planned to have Xingze fakedly kidnapped to solidify Zhou Lan's crimes, but I didn't expect Xingze to drag Lingdang into it as well. If I had known earlier, I would never have allowed such a thing to happen."
Upon hearing this, Susukino frowned deeply.
"Your plan is full of flaws. Do you really think you have everything under control? You're too arrogant!"
Bo Ye's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "As a father, you are so irresponsible towards your child, and you even tried to take advantage of Lin Beichen. Don't forget, he is Qingran's biological father! Whose heart are you trying to destroy?"
Fu Xiuheng looked anxious and hurriedly explained.
"My intention was to help Qingran; I had absolutely no intention of harming her family. I just wanted to bring the truth to light so that she would no longer be kept in the dark."
Bo Ye, however, mercilessly exposed him, "You're just feeling guilty. You're afraid that if you handle things personally, you'll be implicated, so you're pushing Lin Beichen out as a pawn. Your so-called help is nothing but for your own selfish gain. Fu Xiuheng, stop pretending. We all know what kind of person you are. No matter how many excuses you have, they can't hide your selfish nature."
Fu Xiuheng was speechless after being refuted. A hint of panic flashed in his eyes. He knew that Bo Ye had seen through his thoughts, but he was powerless to refute them.
