"I want to know the truth, Crystal!"

"I'm begging you, Jun. Let's all forget about this." her voice begged. "You're Yibo's acknowledged father. Isn't that enough?"

"Who is Yibo's father, Crystal?" Qingheng-Jun insists that looking at his wife is not enough to kill her. "Is he still alive?

Maybe he's laughing at me behind my back because I adopted his bastard?"

Yibo who is outside is like a burning candle in the revealed secret of his being. He is not Lan Qingheng-Jun's son! That was the answer to the many questions in his mind about why he never felt that Qingheng-Jun loved him.

"Y-Yibo's father doesn't know that I carried our son. I -I never intended for him to know." Crystal's knees completely gave out and she threw herself back onto the sofa. "If I have wronged you, punish me. I am ready, Jun. But let's all forget this, please."

Qingheng-Jun stared at his wife for a long time before speaking again. "I'm not as bad as you think, Crystal. Anyway, I've been thankful for your loyalty over the years. I've followed you a few times. Also, Yibo's presence has hidden my secret that if Quiren finds out, he will only make fun of me," he sighed and in a low voice said, "I forgive you."

She wanted to collapse in relief. "T-thank you, Jun..."

"But from this moment on you have no right to interfere with my plans for Yibo," Qingheng-Jun snapped before Crystal could catch her breath. "I don't need to hear any words from you about my desire for Wang Ziyi to be Yibo's wife. And you know Yibo will follow me..."

Crystal's eyes almost filled her face. "Y-you-really can't be serious...?" Qingheng-Jun grinned in what seemed like a triumphant way. "I have never been more serious in my whole life. I will crush Wang Quiren through his youngest and only girl. And Yibo will help me there, Crystal."

"No!" she shouted violently in a panicked look and voice. "Not Ziyi, please. No."

It was too late for Crystal to calm herself down. Qingheng-Jun, who was staring at her, was jolted to his feet. Her stern refusal indicated the most carefully guarded secret.

"Zhang Crystal..." His wife's name barely came out of his mouth in extreme anger. Slowly retreating to the dresser but not taking his eyes off Crystal's face, which showed different emotions, mainly guilt.

"It's not-Wang Quiren, Crystal. Tell me it's not Wang..." the words barely came out of Qingheng-Jun's voice. Crystal buried her face in her palms and sobbed.

"You could have offered yourself to the devil and I wouldn't care, but not to Quiren... not to Wang Quiren!" Qingheng-Jun's body almost trembled with rage. "Now I realized why you did not inherit your family corporation and the hacienda, you intended for Yibo to inherit it, you bitch!"

Yibo banged his head against the wall in shock. Crystal continued to cry. Qingheng-Jun opened the top drawer of the dresser took out a gun and put it in the waistband of his pants.

"J-Jun... no!"

But Qingheng-Jun was already outside and casually opened the door. He did not notice Yibo at the end of the hallway. Qingheng-Jun almost ran down the steps of the big stairs.

"Jun! Oh, no, Jun, please!" Crystal shouted after her husband.

Yibo met her and held his mouth by both shoulders.

"Mom..."

"Yibo!" Crystal looked up at her son through tears.

"I want to hear the truth from your mouth, Mom." The muscles in Yibo's face moved and his fingers almost dug into his mother's shoulders.

"I will explain later, Yibo, please. Qingheng-Jun will kill Quiren and Quiren is innocent... he knows nothing!" She struggled to get out of her son's grip and ran down. At the opening of the stairs, Crystal suddenly stopped and looked at her son. Yibo thinks his mother has aged many years.

"If you recognize me as a mother, Yibo, if you love me as a mother, I'm begging you to take me to WQC, son..." Crystal's pleading voice screamed.

A few moments later, the mother and son were on their way to WQC International. There were only two cars between them and Qingheng-Jun's car. Yibo's jaws clenched as he drove fast. Crystal's tears continued to flow and her chest is full of nervousness.

As soon as Yibo's car entered the compound, Qingheng-Jun already got out of his car and hurried into the building. The greetings of the security guard and some employees were ignored. He continued to the elevator and he almost hit the employees who were there with shock on their faces.

"Call other security guards and follow them to Quiren's office!" Yibo ordered the guard there who immediately obeyed. Crystal chased down another elevator.

"Oh, damn!" Yibo saw his mother was gone and the same elevator was going up. He quickly ran up the stairs.

Wang Quiren is currently showing a foreign investor a miniature of the building he plans to build abroad.

"Don't you find the whole property area too small?" asked the foreigner as his eyes surveyed the miniatures in the middle of the room surrounded by mirrors.

"The owner of the neighboring lot is hesitant to sell yet. But my agent will take care of that. The whole area is approximately three hectares and..." Quiren did not finish what he had to say because the door suddenly opened.

"Jun," he said when Qingheng-Jun suddenly entered. Then the foreigner turned.

"Mr. Wilder, I'd like you to meet..." Quiren stopped again when he saw that Qingheng-Jun pulled out a gun from his pants. The foreigner's eyes widened as he suddenly retreated to the side.

"What does this mean, Jun?"

"You bastard! I will kill you!" He raised the gun to Quiren. "You gave Crystal to me on purpose so that I could marry and name your bastard child. You are an animal, Quiren. This is the worst of what you've done to me, and I won't forgive you this time!"

"Jun, don't!" Crystal ran to her husband, but he pushed Crystal and again pointed the gun at Quiren who had a look of shock and confusion on his face. Crystal quickly ran after Quiren at the same time as the gun went off.

"Crystal!" Quiren quickly ran to the fallen woman and caught her in his arms.

"Mommy!" Yibo took two steps to where his mother was.

The security guards were about to grab Qingheng-Jun but the man retreated. The gun was pointed at them.

"I am the owner of this company and I am ordering you out!" Then he pointed the gun at Quiren again. "I won't save you, Wang! You and Crystal can go to hell together!"

Another shot rang out. The security guard couldn't believe he shot one of the company's major stockholders.
