After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"..."

Xie Zhaoyuan slumped into Pei Xingzhi's arms, staring blankly at the fleeting figure.

He left so resolutely, as if there was nothing left in this world for him to cherish.

Before Xie Zhaoyuan could react, his figure completely disappeared into the sea of ​​fire.

Waves of scorching heat emanated from the villa, and blinding flames shot straight into the sky.

"Quick! Go in and save them!!"

Someone suddenly shouted this, and everyone in the yard rushed towards the villa.

Firefighters struggled to extinguish the fire with water hoses, while criminal police officers ran into the villa, searching for Qin Wushuang within their reach.

Xie Zhaoyuan stared blankly in the direction where Qin Wushuang disappeared, unable to react for a long time.

"A-Yuan, A-Yuan!" Pei Xingzhi knelt in front of her, cupping her face in his hands and calling her name urgently.

"Zhao Zhao!" Xie Mingyi ran over and hugged her tightly, somewhat flustered. "Zhao Zhao, it's your brother! It's your brother!"

“Brother…” Xie Zhaoyuan blinked, and cold tears slid down her cheeks unconsciously.

"Brother's here!" Xie Mingyi hugged her tightly. "Brother's here, brother's come to take you home!"

“…Pei Xingzhi.” She finally came to her senses and began to search for Pei Xingzhi, whom she had been longing for.

"I'm here!" Pei Xingzhi grabbed her hand tightly and took her from Xie Mingyi's arms. "A-Yuan, I'm here!"

Xie Zhaoyuan missed him terribly, and now that she was finally back in his arms, tears welled up in her eyes even before she could express her longing.

“Pei Xingzhi, it’s Pei Xingzhi…” She raised her hand to stroke Pei Xingzhi’s face, crying pitifully and helplessly, “You’ve finally come. I’ve missed you so much.”

Pei Xingzhi cupped her face in his hands, frantically wiping away the tears on her cheeks with trembling fingers, and choked out as he replied, "I'm here, I've come to take you home."

"Ah Yuan, don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Waaah..." Xie Zhaoyuan cried very hard, her throat spasming uncontrollably, unable to utter a single word except for sobbing.

Pei Xingzhi's heart ached at her crying. As he wept in a disheveled state, he almost urgently pulled Xie Zhaoyuan tightly into his arms.

But at that moment, "bang!"

A loud gunshot suddenly rang out in the villa, followed by an explosion in a room on the second floor!

"Oh!"

"boom--"

After the explosion, flames suddenly surged up on the second floor!

An even more scorching heatwave erupted from the villa, and several detectives searching for people on the first floor rushed out one after another.

Xie Zhaoyuan lifted her head from Pei Xingzhi's embrace, looking in fear and confusion towards the direction from which the gunshots came.

The next second, she heard someone inside the villa shout in a panic, "Oh no, the suspect committed suicide!!"

……

When Qin Feihong received the recording, the car was still two hours away from Linzhou.

He frowned as he looked at his phone. After a moment, he handed the phone to Ding Fenglian: "Do you know this person? His WeChat name is a string of strange symbols."

Upon hearing this, Ding Fenglian turned her head and glanced at her, saying, "I don't know her."

Then he held up his phone to show Qin Feihong: "But I also received a recording from him."

Qin Feihong carefully examined the two recordings and found that the file numbers were exactly the same, which proved that he and Ding Fenglian had received the same recording.

"Click to listen." He put his own phone away, but took Ding Fenglian's phone and opened the recording.

After two hissing noises, Qin Wushuang's voice, tinged with laughter, slowly rang out.

"Dad, Mom, Sisi, it's me, Wushuang."

Qin Feihong's eyes widened slightly, and he met Ding Fenglian's gaze with surprise.

Hearing his voice, Qin Sisi in the front seat immediately turned around and looked in surprise at the phone in Qin Feihong's hand.

"elder brother?"

Qin Wushuang's voice flowed slowly and gently through the carriage like a babbling brook.

“Dad, Mom, I’m sorry, your son has done something unforgivable. This matter has been weighing on my mind for over twenty years, and I’ve never dared to tell you. But running away isn’t a long-term solution, and I know that one day I will have to confess my sins to you.”

"Please forgive me for not having the courage to face you, so I can only confess to you through a recording. You probably never imagined that the son you placed so much hope in was actually a bad seed from a young age."

"Dad, Mom, actually Qin Song and Sisi's background wasn't an accident, but something someone did on purpose. And that person was me, me when I was six years old."

“…What?” Ding Fenglian was stunned.

In the recording, Qin Wushuang continued, "At six years old, I was a naughty and ignorant little brat. While the whole family was looking forward to my sister's arrival, I was the only one who was secretly unhappy. I didn't want you to have a sister, and I didn't want another child in the family, because then, all the love and attention that belonged to me would be taken away by my sister."

“I selfishly wanted to monopolize all your love, so from the beginning, I didn’t expect this little sister to come. I even secretly wished in my heart that this little sister could be stolen by someone else, and that you would never find her.”

"Later, this wish came true. My sister was indeed stolen, but the thief was me."

"Sisi was born in a township hospital in Jingcheng. The hospital was very backward and there weren't many doctors and nurses. Selfish me took advantage of this loophole and sneaked into the nursery when the nurses weren't around."

"First, I switched Sisi and Qin Song's positions, and then I switched Qin Song and Xie Wan's. As a result, the fates of these three girls changed dramatically because of me."

"Oh my god..." Qin Feihong's face turned pale with fright at these words.

The recording is still going on.

"Because of my selfishness, Sisi was separated from us at a young age and grew up in a farmer's family in Jingcheng. Although her adoptive parents treated her very well, she never enjoyed the luxury and freedom that belonged to her."

"Xie Wan is the most innocent of the three, but also the luckiest. She should have come from a poor family, but after I switched her, she lived a life of luxury for at least twenty years."

“Only Qin Song has been someone I owe from beginning to end. If she had grown up in the Xie family, she could have been a carefree little princess. The Xie family would have given her the best life and chosen the best husband for her. Even if she did nothing in her life, she could have lived a very happy life.”

"But because of my selfishness, she became the daughter of the Qin family. The Qin family naturally treated her well, but I, as her older brother, never gave her a kind look. I always scolded her for no reason, and I always hated her. I would rather be gentle to a stranger than smile at her."

"But it wasn't because she was so hateful, but because I was so scared. I was carrying a secret that no one knew, and that secret was getting heavier every day, and it could crush me at any moment."
