Chapter 1 Reunion With My Daughter!

"You monster! Not only did you violate me, but you also caused my death. You will not have a peaceful end!!" "I will ensure that you suffer for the rest of your days!!" In the mental institution in Yanjing City, Qin Ye, dressed in a patient's gown, was peacefully napping under a parasol tree. Despite his imposing 1.8-meter stature and muscular build, he lay curled up on the ground like a child, his forehead creased in distress as if plagued by a nightmare. "No, please..." Abruptly, Qin Ye jolted awake, relieved to find it was only a dream. This recurring nightmare had haunted him for a decade, tormenting him night after night. The woman he had wronged, a specter of his past misdeeds, visited him in his dreams demanding justice. As a young man, Qin Ye battled an uncontrollable rage disorder, plagued by volatile emotions that made him quick to anger. In an effort to help him, his mother entrusted him to a passing stranger who took him under his wing. For years, he lived in seclusion in the mountains, honing his martial arts and medical skills under the tutelage of this enigmatic mentor. Gifted with extraordinary healing abilities and superhuman strength, Qin Ye led a life of duality - dispensing both life and death with his hands. A decade ago, Qin Ye founded the enigmatic Holy Dragon Temple, a shadowy organization that struck fear into the hearts of the nation. Betrayed by his own brethren during a perilous mission, he sustained grave injuries. In a moment of madness, he committed a heinous act against an innocent woman while fleeing, consumed by a haze of insanity that clouded his memory. Upon regaining his senses, he found himself back in the mountains. A newspaper article revealed the tragic demise of a woman in Sucheng, a victim of his unforgivable transgression. He had taken the life of an innocent bystander without a chance for redemption. "Ah!!!" Veins pulsated on Qin Ye's forehead, his emotions spiraling out of control. For a decade, he had been haunted by guilt. Every time he closed his eyes, the girl from his past would appear, demanding retribution. Ten years!! A decade of relentless torment, unending and unforgiving. Over time, the anguish began to affect his martial arts practice, driving him to the brink of madness. His skills wasted, his mind fractured, he sought solace in a mental institution, resigned to a life of despair. "Disciple, leave this place and attend to a patient on behalf of your master!" An elderly man in white approached Qin Ye, his voice gentle. "Ten years ago, when I entered this institution, I never intended to depart!" Qin Ye's expression remained stoic, devoid of emotion, as he replied, "Furthermore, five years ago, I relinquished my abilities, and my medical expertise has significantly waned, inferior to yours!" A sigh escaped the old man's lips. A once revered "martial arts physician," reduced to a shadow of his former self due to a single tragic incident. As his mentor, he felt a pang of sorrow. When Qin Ye descended into madness, the old man had rushed to his aid, expending all his energy to salvage a fraction of his disciple's power - a decision that haunted him for years. Yet, without pause, the old man handed a file to Qin Ye, urging him to review the contents and decide whether to emerge from seclusion. Perhaps, there was someone in need of his expertise. After a moment of contemplation, Qin Ye opened the file to find a dossier and a bank card enclosed. In the photograph, a striking woman cradled a three-year-old girl, exuding confidence and elegance, with a Rolls-Royce Phantom in the background underscoring her regal status. Boom!! Seeing the photo, Qin Ye's body trembled violently, a look of shock appeared in his eyes, devoid of warmth, like still water. His eyes suddenly glistened. It's her!! It's really her!! The woman from his nightmares! Yes, it's her. Although the features of the woman in his dreams were not very clear, the feeling was definitely right. This was the woman he had wronged. "Mas...master, she, she is the girl I wronged! She's not dead??" When Qin Ye looked up at the old man, his eyes were slightly red, and a tear rolled down from the corner of his eye. After carrying guilt for ten years, he was overwhelmed with emotion upon learning that the woman was still alive. "I... I don't know, I just know that she is a patient who needs your help." The old man fell silent for a moment before softly saying, "The plane ticket has been booked, and there are tens of thousands of living expenses in the bank card. Go back to Su City and live well!" Qin Ye didn't know when his master had left. He sat on the ground staring at the documents, lost in thought. When he stood up again, tears were already streaming down his face, which surprised many passing nurses. The man who never smiled and was as cold as an iceberg was crying! Yes, he was crying! At the age of seven, he and his mother were driven out of the family by his heartless father, wandering the streets. Despite being mocked by countless people, he never shed a tear. But now, holding the documents, he cried like a child. The woman he had wronged was named Jiang Nian, once a brilliant businesswoman in Su City. With her own abilities, she created the Nian Shadow Group, one of the three major groups in Su City, worth billions. She should have had a very bright future. But because of him... Everything changed. Nine years ago, Jiang Nian gave birth to a daughter, suffered from depression, and was in a car accident, regressing mentally to a five-year-old child. Everything she had created was ruthlessly taken away. Now, she was living with her daughter and mother, often bullied by thugs, and the hardships of life were unbearable. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for what I did!!!" Qin Ye completed the discharge procedures and set off for Sucheng at the fastest speed. He wanted to atone! Not only did he want to cure Jiang Nian's illness, but he also wanted to retrieve everything Jiang Nian had lost. Daughter! Wait for me, you must wait for me!! Daddy is here!! From now on, no one will ever bully you again!! No one!! ... One day later, Sucheng, Sunshine Community! "Mom, you must listen to your daughter and finish this egg before playing on the slide, okay?" "No, I want to play on the slide, I want to play on the slide!" "If you continue to be so stubborn, I won't let you play on the slide anymore. And I'll repeat it again, you can only play for the last ten minutes today. I haven't finished the homework assigned by the teacher yet. Otherwise, you'll have to stand in the corridor and listen to the lesson again tomorrow." Nine-year-old Mengmeng, holding a bowl of porridge and an egg like a little adult, was earnestly persuading her thirty-year-old mother to eat, while her mother, acting like a child, was only focused on playing on the slide and not eating a bite of food. Mengmeng looked helpless, but considering her mother's illness, her face quickly returned to normal, and she patiently continued to coax her mother to eat, singing the nursery rhymes she had just learned at school. "Sigh, when will Grandma find a doctor to cure Mom's illness?" After feeding, Mengmeng sat on the side with a small bowl, dragging her mouth as she watched her mother playing on the slide. When she saw her mother fall to the ground because she slid too fast, she ran over with a worried look on her face, patting the dirt off her mother's body, frowning and saying, "Can't you be more careful? Do you know how many bottles I picked up to buy you this outfit? If you are so careless again, I won't care about you." "Mengmeng, I can also go out to pick up bottles. I want to buy you clothes, you haven't worn new clothes for a long time." Jiang Nian had a bright smile on her face, like a carefree child. "What bottles are you picking up? Running out, not even recognizing the door, if you get stolen, I won't have a mother." After brushing off the dust, Mengmeng turned away from Jiang Nian, her eyes teary, and whispered, "I don't want to wear any new clothes, they are all ugly, not as good as the neighbor's daughter wearing the hand-me-downs." As she spoke, Mengmeng returned to her original position, continuing to watch her mother play on the slide. "You little troublemaker, this is your final chance to hand over the design drawings, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" At that moment, a young man with blonde hair led two burly men to Mengmeng and Jiang Nian, looking fierce and threatening.
