Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 348 Avenging Her

The red light outside the operating room was blindingly bright, and the smell of disinfectant in the corridor was so strong it was almost unbearable, mingling with the tense atmosphere in the air.

Madam Qin held the baby girl, but her gaze kept drifting towards the closed door of the operating room, a door that had been closed for far too long.

Qin Shengsheng was also so anxious that she kept pacing back and forth.

"Why hasn't she come out yet... I hope my sister-in-law is alright..."

She gripped Madam Qin's arm so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

Mrs. Qin, carrying her child, hurried over and stopped a nurse.

"Nurse, inside...the pregnant woman..."

The nurse was taken aback by the question, then looked surprised: "That woman in labor? She left half an hour ago, saying... she had an emergency."

"What?!" Madam Qin felt dizzy and disoriented. If she hadn't been holding her child, she would have almost lost her balance.

Qin Shengsheng was stunned, as if struck by lightning: "How is this possible! My sister-in-law just gave birth! Where is she going?!"

Amid the chaos, Cheng Fei looked at Qin Shi, who stood silently with his back to them. His shoulders were taut like a fully drawn bow, and the air pressure around him was so low it could freeze a person to death.

Cheng Fei forced himself to step forward, his voice trembling almost imperceptibly: "Mr. Qin... what should we do with this woman?"

He was referring to D, who was being restrained by bodyguards and looked smug.

Qin Shi slowly turned around, his face as calm as a bottomless pool of cold water, without any emotional fluctuations. Yet, this calmness was more chilling than rage.

"Hand her over to me." His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

His gaze swept over the baby in Madam Qin's arms, then fell on Qin Shengsheng's red eyes. His Adam's apple bobbed before he said to Madam Qin, "Mom, you can take care of the child for now."

Before anyone could react, he had already grabbed D's arm and pulled her outside with such force that he almost crushed her bones.

D staggered as he dragged her along. She tried to struggle, but the man grabbed her wrist with his other hand. The force made her gasp in pain, but she dared not make a sound.

In the corridor, Qin Shengsheng forcefully wiped away her tears, her voice trembling with sobs, and asked, "Mom, is my sister-in-law really gone? Shouldn't we send someone to look for her? She just gave birth, and she just found out..."

Madam Qin looked down at the little life in the swaddling clothes and sighed softly, a sigh filled with endless guilt and helplessness.

"Let her go." Her voice was hoarse. "Our Qin family owes her too much. All we can do is raise this child well."

The baby girl in the arms seemed to sense the adults' emotions. She moved her little mouth and let out a small burp. Although the child was premature, her eyebrows and eyes were well-proportioned. Her closed eyes were covered with a layer of long eyelashes, like butterfly wings covered with morning dew. Her little nose was small and upturned, with a touch of pink at the tip. Her pink lips were pursed into a small arc, as if she was having a sweet dream.

The milk stains on my cheeks from drinking milk hadn't been wiped off yet; they looked like glistening pearls, making my skin look so tender it seemed like you could squeeze water out of it.

Madam Qin's heart melted instantly. She gently touched the girl's face with her fingertips, the touch as soft as a cloud.

"Let's call her Qin Xi."

Madam Qin finally couldn't hold back her tears, which rolled down onto the baby's swaddling clothes. "Xi as in sunset, hoping that her future days will be as peaceful and warm as the sunset."

She gazed at the end of the closed corridor, a faint premonition rising in her heart—Lanlan, she will definitely come back.

The night wind in the parking lot carried a metallic chill. Qin Shi dragged D along at a brisk pace, her wrist aching from his grip. Several times she tried to speak, but the menacing aura emanating from him made her swallow her words.

She didn't dare to breathe until she was shoved into the passenger seat and the car door slammed shut, only to be met with the man's cold gaze.

The engine roared furiously, the tires screeched sharply against the ground, and the car shot off like an arrow.

D gripped the handrail tightly, his stomach churning. The lights outside the window receded rapidly into blurry streaks of light. He didn't know how long it had been going on, but the noise gradually faded away.

After an unknown amount of time, the car finally stopped in a vacant lot overgrown with weeds.

"Get down." Qin Shi's voice was devoid of any warmth.

Before D could react, he was violently pulled off the car and slammed heavily onto the cold ground.

The pebbles hurt her back. She struggled to sit up and looked up to see Qin Shi holding a gun, the dark muzzle pointed directly at her.

"Qin Shi! Are you crazy?" D's voice changed instantly, filled with fear and disbelief. "Have you forgotten who saved you when you were about to be beaten to death? Without me, you would have been a pile of mud in some back alley abroad long ago!"

Qin Shi looked down at her, a mocking sneer playing on his lips, his knuckles turning white from gripping the gun: "My savior?"

He scoffed, his voice icy, "I've been taking care of your sister Bai Xiaoyu, ensuring she has everything she needs. I've already repaid that debt."

Besides, did you really save me?

D's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face instantly turned deathly pale: "You... what do you know?"

"What do you know?" Qin Shi took a step forward, the gun almost touching her forehead, forcing her to retreat repeatedly. "Do you know that you orchestrated what happened back then? Do you know how those people accurately found my weaknesses, how they always appeared when I was at my most vulnerable? Or do you know that the prison network needed a computer expert, so you used such underhanded methods to force me into the game?"

D panicked completely, trembling uncontrollably: "No...no! I'm doing this for your own good! The Prison Network can give you everything you want..."

"For my own good?" Qin Shi's eyes were as cold as an icy lake in winter. "I needed the resources of Prison Network, so I played along with this charade. Now, I don't need them anymore."

"You can't kill me! Qin Shi! I am your..."

"Shut up." Qin Shi interrupted her, his eyes devoid of any emotion. "Why do you think I haven't exposed you yet? It's just because I still need to leverage the power of the Prison Network."

D watched as his finger pulled the trigger, screaming as she lunged at him: "You dare!"

Gunshots rang out in the empty suburbs, muffled and resolute.

"Ah—!" D let out a shrill scream. She looked at her right hand hanging down, blood gushing from her wrist. The hand that had killed countless people was now limp and powerless.

Before she could recover, another gunshot rang out.

The same sharp pain shot through D's left wrist, and his vision went black; he almost fainted.

She collapsed to the ground, staring at her two useless hands, tears mingling with blood streaming down her face, her voice hoarse and barely audible: "Aren't you afraid the Prison Network will seek revenge on you..."

Qin Shi threw away the gun, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and slowly wiped his fingers as if he had only touched something dirty.

"Including this time, you've failed twice now."

The prison network wouldn't risk offending a skilled hacker like me, who can provide powerful technical support, for the sake of a worthless killer.

These hands, stained with too much scheming, will only be clean when they're ruined.

He didn't even glance at D, who was writhing in agony on the ground, and turned to walk towards the car. "Get out of my sight. If I see you again, it won't just be a matter of crippling your hands."

The headlights came on again, the blinding light shining on D's pale face.

The engine noise faded into the distance and eventually disappeared into the night, leaving only D's resentful cries echoing endlessly across the wilderness.
