Qin Hospital, VVIP private room.
Mr. Qin suddenly opened his eyes.
"Sir, you wake up." Chen De's voice came from the side.
Qin Shao nodded and asked subconsciously: "Where are Xiaobei and Xiaobao?"
Chen De was taken aback: "Sir, what are you saying? Xiaobei, Xiaobao?"
At this time, Mr. Qin finally recovered from the dream: Here is not that world. In this world, Xiaobei and Xiaobao didn't come to find him.
Qin Shao didn't know how long he was in a coma. During this period, he experienced a long, long dream. It was started a few years ago, with the sudden appearance of two dirty children calling him 'Dad,' followed by their daily life and eventually getting closer as a family. He saw his children entering high school and going to college, he reluctantly sent his daughter to get married, had dinner with his son's future parents-in-law...
His life there was full of happiness and fulfillment. Recalling the memory, a smile flashed on Mr. Qin's eyes.
But the next second, he frowned deeply.
"Chen De."
"Yes, Sir?"
"Find two children as soon as possible. They are nineteen years old. The girl's name is Su Bei, the boy is Su Xiaobao. Spare no effort."
"I understand."
Chen De was about to ask for more details, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Mr. Qin pulled out the infusion needle from his hand and got up from the bed.
Chen De was surprised: "Sir, you..."
Qin Shao: "I'm going to N City in Hongxing County. Make arrangements right now."
Chen De: "Sir, you want to go in person? But your treatment is still..."
Hearing the word 'treatment,' Mr. Qin suddenly smiled coldly: "If I continue receiving treatment here, my life will soon be gone."
"Check the origin of the medicine and the people in this hospital. Song Yancheng is behind them."
With the memory of that life, Qin Shao knew that Song Yancheng had planted his people here. Although Qin Shao was heavily injured in that attack, the reason why his condition hadn't gotten better over the years was that Song Yancheng secretly tampered with his treatment.
Even the attack itself was orchestrated by Song Yancheng.
Chen De's complexion suddenly changed. Although he never thought that Song Yancheng dared to do this far, he didn't dare to doubt Mr. Qin's judgment.
"I'll investigate it right away." Chen De replied seriously. Afterward, he immediately arranged the trip to Hongxing County for Mr. Qin. Although he didn't know why his boss suddenly made this decision, he didn't dare to dissuade.

Prior to his departure, Mr. Qin delegated the task of investigating Song Group to Chen De: "Investigate carefully. When I come back, I want to know all the details of Song Group's capital flow, including the hidden ones. I also want to know all the things Song Yancheng did over the years, as well as the people he made contacts with."
"Don't worry, Sir. I will do it well."
Mr. Qin provided Chen De with some information. This information was truly shocking. Who ever imagined that the glamorous Song Group actually did so many illegal things in secret?
Is Mr. Qin finally ready to attack Song Group?
Chen De guessed so. In the past two years, because of Mr. Qin's recuperation, Qin Group was indeed much lower-key than before. But it didn't mean that they were already defeated.

After arriving in Hongxing County, Qin Shao used the memory of that world to find Su Bei and Su Xiaobao's old house. Compared to his dream, this house looked even older. However, it was very clean, with signs of the twins living here everywhere.
Unfortunately, Mr. Qin did not find his children.
A message came from Chen De. "Sir, I found the children you are looking for..." However, their situation was not good.
The boy named Su Xiaobao was sued by Song Yancheng and sent to prison, while they found out that the girl named Su Bei was attending a banquet hosted by Song Entertainment.
...
When Su Bei woke up, she was already in a remote villa. She opened her eyes to see Ou Chi's disgusting and lecherous face.
Su Bei wanted to escape, but her drugged body was not Ou Chi's opponent.
Ou Chi obviously enjoyed the process of driving the girl crazy. Watching Su Bei's struggle in panic, his face was full of disgusting excitement.
The gradual loss of strength in her body caused Su Bei to fall into despair. Her consciousness began to fade, and her vision blurred.
Right before Ou Chi reached Su Bei, a loud "bang!" suddenly sounded, and his fat body was kicked to the side.
Who?!
Before Ou Chi could react, several professional bodyguards had pressed him on the floor.
"Take him away." An icy voice commanded. These three words sentenced Ou Chi to a life worse than death.
Qin Shao looked at the girl in front of him. He also saw a very similar scene in his dream: Su Bei curled up in the corner, hugging herself so tightly. Even though she was so scared that her whole body was shaking, she refused to make a sound.
It was the so similar to the campus violence Su Bei once suffered.
During her struggle, Su Bei's clothes were torn in many places. All kinds of bruises and scratches on her arms showed what kind of torture she experienced just a moment before.
At this moment, Qin Shao's heart was broken into pieces: This is his most beloved daughter, the child he regarded as his most precious treasure. She should be the little princess growing up in the palm of his hand. But now, what kind of darkness and despair did she experience in the place he couldn't see?
Qin Shao's eyes reddened. He was so angry that he wanted to kill people.
Su Bei didn't know what was happening. Her senses were dulled, and her consciousness was extremely hazy. She seemed to feel someone approaching. The next moment, a piece of warm jacket seemed to wrap her body.
Even though Qin Shao's movements were very careful, when Su Bei felt someone hugged her, she immediately struggled hard. The girl let out a heartbreaking scream. She was totally in a state of chaos.
Qin Shao knew his daughter well. If not for feeling total despair, Su Bei would never waste her energy screaming uselessly.
With utmost heartache, Qin Shao hugged his distraught and collapsing daughter in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaobei. It's Dad." Qin Shao kept talking in Su Bei's ear, trying to comfort the girl who was still struggling in despair.
~
After a long time, Su Bei, who finally lost her last strength, fell silent.
Feeling his daughter's body turned listless, Qin Shao turned pale: "Xiaobei, Xiaobei!"
"Sir, she...should be fainted. Let's take her to the hospital first." Chen De reminded.
How could Mr. Qin not see such an obvious matter? But his mind now was overwhelmed with panic and distress, and he lost his usual calm judgment.
Seeing Mr. Qin carefully holding up the girl in his arms and walked outside, the people present, including Chen De, was utterly stunned.
Following Mr. Qin for so many years, this was the first time Chen De seeing his boss so nervous. On their way here, Mr. Qin was so anxious that his body was trembling.
And the anger Mr. Qin showed today was also unprecedented.
Of course, this was also the first time Chen De ever saw Mr. Qin treated a person so tenderly and cautiously.
Just now, Mr. Qin claimed to be 'Dad.' Could it be that the girl in his arm was his daughter?!
—
Su Bei was taken to the hospital and was unconscious for nearly a week. During this time, Mr. Qin relegated all his work to his subordinates and stayed in the hospital for almost twenty-four hours a day.
Chen De tried to persuade Mr. Qin to take a rest, but it was useless.
Chen De: "Sir, Song Group's matter is almost over."
This one week, Qin Group spared no effort to suppress Song Group. Or, to be more accurate, Qin Shao enacted full revenge towards Song Yancheng.
In this world, the storm brought by the Qin Group was even more violent than in the dream. Song Group's stock price had plummeted to the bottom and was now fully paralyzed. Its chairman and largest shareholder, Song Yancheng, was also facing multiple charges.
"That Ou Chi has also been sent to D Country." Being sent to D Country's prison, Ou Chi's life would be no different from living hell.
"Watch him well. Don't let him die."
"Yes." After a pause, Chen De asked again: "Regarding Song Yancheng's charges, should we let the matter run publicly, or..."
"I remember many of his criminal charges are in A Country."
"I understand." Chen De replied. Song Yancheng's ending probably would not be better than Ou Chi's.
"In addition, find every single person related to this incident." Qin Shao's tone was very cold. No one could be let go safely after hurting his daughter.
A nurse suddenly came out of Su Bei's ward: "Sir, the young lady inside is awake."
Qin Shao's expression immediately changed. Before Chen De could react, he already rushed into the ward.
When approaching the bed, Qin Shao subconsciously lightened his footsteps. Looking at the thin and pale girl lying on the hospital bed, he felt even more painful than having his flesh scraped out by a knife. However, in front of Su Bei, Qin Shao put on a gentle smile and said softly: "Xiaobei wakes up? I am your Dad."
Qin Shao subconsciously wanted to remove a strand of hair from Su Bei's face. But when his hand approached, Su Bei suddenly struggled. She shrank and curled into a ball, trembling with fear and alertness.
Mr. Qin did not dare to come closer, so he stepped back and left a safe space for Su Bei. "Don't be afraid, Xiaobei, it's safe here. Dad won't let anyone hurt you."
The answer Qin Shao's got was Su Bei's silent avoidance and her vacant expression.
...
Su Bei refused to let people approach or touch her, so the doctor could only examine her when she was asleep.
Qin Shao asked with a low voice: "How is my daughter? Why does she seem to be unresponsive to her surrounding?" Except for showing strong resistance when someone approached, Su Bei was totally unresponsive to her surroundings and simply sat with vacant eyes on the hospital bed.
"Her present condition is due to the self-withdrawing state after receiving a great psychological trauma. This includes a varying degree of disorder in hearing, vision, and even taste. She needs to recover slowly, and it is difficult to predict how long it will take her to recover."
"I understand." Qin Shao gently stroke Su Bei's head, as he often did in the dream. However, the present Su Bei didn't look relaxed even in her sleep.
...
After two weeks, Su Bei still trembled when people approached her, and she still didn't show any sign to speak up. However, thanks to Qin Shao's untiring effort, Su Bei no longer repelled his approach so much. She still shivered subconsciously when Qin Shao touched her, but no longer reacted as heavily as before.
Mr. Qin's face, which was very similar to Su Xiaobao's, probably played some role.
Today, Mr. Qin squatted in front of Su Bei's bed, carefully applying a cotton swab soaked in medicine to the injuries on his daughter's hands and legs.
Qin Shao: "Does it hurt?"
"..." Su Bei just stared blankly in silence.
Qin Shao still smiled gently.
"The weather is nice today. Do you want to go for a walk?"
"What do you want to eat for lunch? Do you want to eat your favorite snack?"
The girl remained silent.
"Xiaobei, wait a minute. Dad will go to get you some tasty food." Just as Mr. Qin turned around, Su Bei suddenly held his hand.
"!!!" Mr. Qin was surprised.
"Xiaobei?"
Su Bei looked up at Mr. Qin, and finally said her first sentence in weeks: "Can you save Su Xiaobao? Please save him."
Qin Shao: "Okay."
Actually, there was no need for Su Bei to ask. Qin Shao naturally had taken various ways to save Su Xiaobao. Although the process was a bit lengthy and troublesome, he wanted to let his son proven to be totally innocent.
...
On the day when the giant Song Group completely collapsed and Song Yancheng was sent to the world's harshest prison in Country A, Mr. Qin personally fetched Su Xiaobao from the prison.
Looking at the youth walking towards him, Mr. Qin thought: this kid had a maturity that didn't match his age.
Su Xiaobao also stared at Mr. Qin. Similar to their first meeting in the dream, his eyes were full of guards. But the youth in front of Mr. Qin today no longer had the same high-spiritedness and brashness as the fourteen-year-old boy in the dream.
Su Xiaobao observed the strange man who saved him from the prison. Although he didn't know this man, he had an indescribable sense of familiarity towards the other person. He also vaguely heard that this man was a very powerful person.
"Thank you." Su Xiaobao said hoarsely.
Qin Shao's gaze stayed on Su Xiaobao. After a while, he suddenly smiled: "Stinky boy. It's rare to hear you being so polite to your father."
Su Xiaobao: ?!!
While Su Xiaobao was still stunned, Mr. Qin walked over and patted his shoulder: "Let's go. Xiaobei is very worried about you."
...
In the hospital, looking at the two children hugging each other, Mr. Qin sighed: he finally found them.
Qin Group could provide the best medical treatment. It wouldn't take long to heal Su Bei's injuries and Su Xiaobao's leg. However, it might take much longer to heal their psychological trauma.
However, it didn't matter. No matter what, he would do his best to take care of them.
