Chapter 922 - 872: It’s Time to Settle Accounts! (Part 1)

With the confident declarations of the two Ye Family sons.

Qin Fan didn’t continue discussing these topics.

Instead, the group started chatting idly, reminiscing.

By the time Qin Fan left the Triumph Palace and returned to No.1 Villa,

it was already late at night.

Yet Qin Chu, Wei Shuying, and Ji Yi were still waiting.

It took a lot of coaxing to calm his mother’s overwhelming longing.

After watching his parents enter their bedroom,

Qin Fan finally walked upstairs shoulder to shoulder with his sister.

"Have you let Yinuo know you’re safe?"

On the stairs, Ji Yi asked.

"Not yet! I’m planning to call her later!" Qin Fan replied.

"You’ve been back for so long and haven’t even let Yinuo know you’re safe? How should I put it to you? The poor girl has been crying for two months, and this is how you treat her?"

Hearing Qin Fan say he hadn’t yet, Ji Yi immediately frowned and scolded.

"Sister, I get what you mean! It’s just that I’ve been busy, and calling Yinuo won’t be just a few words! So I thought I’d wait until I’m free to have a proper talk with her!" Qin Fan said awkwardly, rubbing his nose.

"Alright, hurry up then! I’ll head back to my room first, have a good chat with Yinuo! These past two months, she’s had it the hardest!"

With that, without waiting for Qin Fan to respond,

Ji Yi walked directly to her bedroom entrance and went inside, closing the door.

But as she closed the door, she leaned back against it.

She raised her hands and ran them through her hair.

Unknowingly, she had developed feelings for Qin Fan.

A feeling that surpassed a sister-brother relationship.

No one could see any signs of it, including herself, unwilling to face it.

Yet the truest voice in her heart betrayed her!

She had fallen for him!

This emotion that had unknowingly sprouted months ago had completely erupted during Qin Fan’s two-month disappearance!

And at the moment she saw Qin Fan’s return, it fully took root and rapidly expanded!

"No, I can’t, I can’t! Ji Yi, he sees you as a sister, not related by blood but closer than one! Don’t think too much, don’t think too much, you can’t think too much!"

Mumbling incoherently to herself.

After a moment, she bit her lip, then rushed to her bed and lay down, pulling a quilt over her head.

No matter how she tried to escape, that voice in her heart could not be dispelled!

The lights were off, eyes closed.

But her heart was far from calm.

That night, she was doomed to sleeplessness.

Elsewhere.

Back in the bedroom,

Qin Fan first stripped and headed into the en suite bathroom.

Then he took out his phone and called Jiang Yino.

Not a phone call.

But a direct video call via WeChat!

"Qin Fan!"

In the dormitory of Jinling campus.

Lying on her bed staring into the darkness, Jiang Yino saw the video call from Qin Fan.

Upon seeing that familiar face, she couldn’t help but shout loudly!

The next moment, tears flowed down her face as she covered her mouth tightly.

Before Qin Fan in the video could respond, she trembled, "Am I dreaming?"

"It’s not a dream! Yinuo, I’m back! Really alive and back! I didn’t even have time to shower before video calling you, so how about I chat with you while I shower?"

Suppressing the urge to say sorry, Qin Fan knew that saying that would surely trigger Yinuo’s emotional outburst.

What he wanted was a happy Yinuo!

Not a crying, grieving her.

Otherwise, he’d feel even more guilty.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

After confirming it wasn’t a dream, Jiang Yino cried, repeatedly saying okay.

"Well, Yinuo, how about we do it together?" Qin Fan mischievously grinned, unable to see Jiang Yino in the dark on the video.

He originally thought Jiang Yino would scold him.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yino replied, "Okay, wait for me, I’ll go to the bathroom first!"

Just like that.

Yinuo originally intended to book an early morning flight to Jiangzhou.

But Qin Fan refused, calming her down by promising to visit her school tomorrow.

The unresolved issues at the Forbidden City prevented Qin Fan from leaving, no matter how much he missed her.

As for letting those people live a little longer?

It’s not happening!

Before sunrise tomorrow.

That was Qin Fan’s limit of tolerance!

....

As time passed.

The morning light began to spread.

Being a cultivator, Qin Fan naturally couldn’t have his mental state affected by sleep. After breakfast with his parents, he drove straight to the No.1 Group.

Even without any documents or formalities.

All of Huaxia knew that the Sky Group, only three days away from a name and ownership change, had returned to the Qin family.

For the whole day, Qin Fan stayed by his parents’ side without taking a step away.

This, perhaps, was the compensation he wanted to offer.

"Xiao Fan, school has already started for a while! The school has called several times asking why you haven’t reported yet. I’ve been delaying them, but tomorrow, you should go! No matter what, you’re still a student, and you should do what you ought to do!"

Come night, in the dining room of No.1 Villa, while the family enjoyed dinner, Qin Chu said.

"Your father is right. Since you’re okay now, go to school! Even though getting an education might not be important for you now, I, Wei Shuying, don’t want people to say my son doesn’t even have a college degree!" Wei Shuying chimed in.

"Mom, Dad, really, I just got back and you’re already trying to send me away?" Qin Fan playfully teased.

"You brat! What parents wouldn’t want their kids by their side, but can you just do nothing and stay? Before, when we didn’t hear from you, we were worried, but now you’re back, and we’re relieved! Let’s let life get back on track! You go to school, and your dad and I will get back to handling the group’s affairs, which were disrupted by those people. Now, we need to put more effort into picking up the pace and handling everything anew!" Wei Shuying said.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you then, I’ll head back to school tomorrow!"

After pausing, Qin Fan nodded.

The dinner for the family along with sister Ji Yi ended joyously.

As night fell deeper.

After Qin Chu and Wei Shuying went to bed,

Qin Fan silently walked up to the villa’s rooftop.

Looking in the direction of the north,

he curled his lips into a cold smile.

Murmured to himself, "It’s time for reckoning!"

With that said.

His figure flashed.

And he instantly disappeared from the rooftop.

Destination, Beijing!
