Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Yin Bin’s Outburst

Translator: 549690339

Yin Qin stormed away, huffily leaving the villa.

Walking along, he dialed a number on his phone, “I have some photos. I need an urgent press release tonight. Make it a trending news, the biggest trending news. I want the whole nation to know about it first thing in the morning!”

“But Yin, we can’t just put out a story. We need the chairman’s approval for something big like this,” the person on the other end of the phone hesitantly replied.

“I’m giving the orders here, just release the story, and make it sensational!” Yin Qin demanded angrily.

There was hesitation on the other end.

“Don’t worry. If any questions arise, I’ll take responsibility!” Yin Qin declared each word distinctly.

Compliance came from the other end. “Yes.”

Yin Qin sent over the pictures he’d taken, followed by some drafted text. He instructed them to refine it and particularly emphasized the need to portray Li Wenjun in the worst possible light.”

The person on the other end agreed without hesitation.

Having hung up his phone, Yin Qin hailed another taxi to get away.

Tomorrow, he was determined to have Li Wenjun suffer public humiliation.

Initially heading back to the hospital, Yin Qin found himself unable to shake off anxiety about Ji Baixing. He, therefore, ordered the driver to turn around and go to Ji Baixing’s housing complex.

Yin Qin arrived at Ji Baixing’s door.

Even though Ji Baili had assured him nobody in their family would do anything foolish, he was still afraid that Ji Baixing, unable to cope after such an incident, might break down completely. Ji Baixing, usually so composed and disciplined such that she took great care of herself, had been deeply wounded by Li Wenjun and was in deep pain.

He felt truly uneasy.

He rang the doorbell.

After a while.

The door was opened.

Ji Baixing saw Yin Qin.

She saw Yin Qin who had left and suddenly returned.

At that moment, she’d already showered and changed into pajamas. Seeing Yin Qin appear out of the blue left her somewhat surprised, even pleasantly so.

But ultimately.

She had never intended to exploit her own weakness and pain to make Yin Qin do anything. Nor did she plan on continuing anything between them... she didn’t want that.

In her opinion.

Her past obliviousness was to blame and she could not imagine herself breaking Yin Qin’s family now.

Caught between them was Luo Xiaolang.

She could not bear to hurt her.

She said, “Why are you back here?”

“I’m here to keep you company.” Yin Qin answered straightforwardly.

Ji Baixing frowned.

“I’m here to keep you company,” Yin Qin repeated with certainty, “I know you dislike me, you always have. You are irritated by my mere presence. I initially invited Ji Baili to come here, but he couldn’t due to certain circumstances. Rest assured, I will leave first thing tomorrow morning, I won’t take advantage of your vulnerability.”

Taking advantage of vulnerability...

Ji Baixing felt a slight twinge.

She bit her lip.

Not that she actually wanted Yin Qin to take advantage, but she did want to correct his misconception that she loathed him.

She did not loathe him.

What she loathed was herself, only herself. Even though she should rightly love Li Wenjun, even though she was cheated on and now wallowed in such a pitiful state, she should still resolutely pick herself up. But she was suddenly feeling something for Yin Qin...

She kept her emotions in check, not saying anything further. Instead, she turned around and moved away.

The moment she turned, she didn’t close the door, clearly implying something.

Yin Qin exhaled deeply and followed Ji Baixing inside.

In the room, there were several half-drunk beer bottles left on the dining table. The room was a bit of a mess, with a few large suitcases placed in the living room.

Yin Qin asked, “Are you planning to move out?”

“Yes,” Ji Baixing nodded, “I didn’t do it today because it was too late. I’ve contacted a housekeeping company to come and move things at 5 o’clock tomorrow morning.”

“It’s past 2:00 now, can you sleep only for another two hours?”

“Do you really think I can fall asleep?” Ji Baixing responded bluntly.

“Why push your body so hard?”

“I’m not tormenting myself. I’m just trying to realize how foolish I have been,” Ji Baixing grumbled through clenched teeth.

Yin Qin had nothing more to say.

He suggested, “There is a little time left, try to get some sleep.”

“No need, it’s late you should sleep. There’s only the sofa for you to sleep on.”

“I’m fine with any place,” Yin Qin quickly assured.

Ji Baixing simply nodded, then turned and left with an ice-cold demeanor.

She continued to pack her things.

Yin Qin behaved himself. When he was dealing with Ji Baixing, he didn’t dare to oppose her. He just laid down on the sofa, while listening to the faint sounds coming from the room.

He felt genuinely tired.

With his eyes closed, Yin Qin fell asleep in no time.

He even started to snore.

When Ji Baixing had finished packing and came into the living room, she found Yin Qin sound asleep.

She looked at Yin Qin’s face.

Yin Qin was actually very handsome. Perhaps because of his many favorable outer attributes, she had always deemed him as unreliable. She noticed him often gaining the attention of some women who were eager to chat and please him. Yin Qin almost never refused, seeming quite pleased with his masculine charm.

She used to detest these behaviors of Yin Qin, but now she suddenly realized that perhaps, he was only acting that way to get her attention. Maybe he wanted to rile her up, and in doing so, made her perceive him as a frivolous man.

She suppressed her emotions, refusing to let her thoughts wander further.

If she did, she would end up despising herself even more.

What she despised most in life was gender inequality in relationships and third-party interventions. Ever since she was a child, she hated the way her parents interacted and as a result had exceptionally high expectations from love and marriages. She couldn’t tolerate any imperfections in a marriage.

And now.

She, was thinking about getting back together with Yin Qin.

By doing so, she was essentially confirming herself as the mistress, and the most despicable kind at that!

She turned around, picked up a thin quilt, and gently covered Yin Qin with it.

After ensuring Yin Qin was warm, she prepared to leave.

Suddenly, she noticed that Yin Qin whispered something in his sleep.

Ji Baixing frowned.

She looked at Yin Qin, sleeping soundly.

Sometimes she found herself envious of his carefree nature.

Listening to Yin Qin muttering, she felt as though he was talking; however, she couldn’t decipher a single word.

She suddenly leaned closer to Yin Qin, her ear near his mouth.

Then she heard it clearly, even though he was still mumbling, she heard it.

He was murmuring “Luo Xiaolang...”

He was calling out Luo Xiaolang’s name.

At that moment, Ji Baixing felt as though she had been turned to stone.

She froze.

She had believed, believed that Yin Qin still loved her. And the inner feelings she was suppressing at the moment, she didn’t want Yin Qin to hurt Luo Xiaolang just because of them. They couldn’t treat Luo Xiaolang like that...

Ji Baixing abruptly moved away from Yin Qin.

She always made assumptions, and every time she was proven wrong, it felt like a slap in the face, each one leaving her more swollen.

The next morning, a little past 5:00.

Yin Qin groggily got up from the couch, stirred by the commotion around him.

He opened his eyes and felt pain throughout his body.

Sleeping on the couch was indeed not a wise choice.

He rubbed his eyes and saw the housekeeping company was busy moving Ji Baixing’s belongings.

He swiftly got up.

He was unaware of when he had fallen asleep, it seemed like he had drifted off the moment he hit the couch.

He headed towards Ji Baixing.

Ji Baixin glanced at Yin Qin, “Leave once you’re awake, I can move houses on my own, I’m not used to having you around.”

Yin Qin scrutinized Ji Baixin.

Are all women seriously practical creatures?

Yesterday, although Ji Baixin was very resistant to him, she still seemed to depend on him in every aspect. But this morning, the woman abruptly turned hostile!

Forget it.

It seemed he didn’t care so much anymore, his emotions didn’t fluctuate greatly. As long as she recovered completely now, both physically and mentally, he wouldn’t have to worry about her doing anything impulsive. He said, “Then I’ll leave, call me if you need anything.”

Ji Baixin seemed very indifferent, constantly directing the bustling household staff and not paying any attention to Yin Qin.

Yin Qin touched his nose.

He was also used to Ji Baixin being like this.

This was her true self.

In this moment, he felt like everything was fine as it was.

He was just about to leave.

But suddenly, two policemen walked directly over and asked him, “Are you Yin Qin?”

Yin Qin frowned.

“Someone reported that you intentionally assaulted them, the injuries are serious. Please return to the police station with us for an investigation.”

“What? That idiot Li Wenjun had the audacity to report me?!” Yin Qin roared in anger.

“It seems like a fact. Please accompany us to the police station,” said the policeman sternly.

Yin Qin was speechless.

Was Li Wenjun not afraid of escalating the issue?!

At this moment, he had no choice but to leave with the policemen.

Ji Baixin watched Yin Qin being taken away. She had heard the conversation between Yin Qin and the policemen and knew it was because of her, but in that moment she still forced herself to remain indifferent.

Right now, other than trying to come out of the shadows cast by that scum Li Wenjun, she had to resist all her feelings for Yin Qin.

Yin Qin was escorted out of the residential complex by the police.

At the entrance of the complex, a huddle of reporters suddenly appeared.

Yin Qin didn’t look happy.

He even saw reporters from the Milky Way Group, who were even more fanatical than the others at this moment.

“Yin Qin, we heard you beat up Li Wenjun in the middle of the night yesterday, what was the reason behind Li Wenjun’s bruised face?”

“Yin Qin, you’re coming out of Ji Baixin’s apartment, does this suggest that you two have reconciled?”

Yin Bin looked at Yin Ying.

Yin Ying sauntered in calmly, then took a seat at the location closest to Yin Bin, looking unperturbed.

Yin Bin stared at her coldly.

Yin Ying said, “Little brother, it’s not good to be so angry.”

“What are you doing here?” Yin Bin’s expression darkened.

“Just checking in on you. You’ve always been so serious since childhood, and honestly, I don’t like that about you. Sit down.” Yin Ying called out to him.

Yin Bin continued to stare at Yin Ying, unmoving.

“It’s okay if you don’t sit down. You can listen while standing.” Yin Ying said coldly. “Starting today, I am also one of the members of the Milky Way board. I hold 5% of the shares of the Milky Way.”

Yin Bin stared at her.

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask the company’s legal counsel. They can testify.” Yin Ying said, smiling, “As for where these 5% of shares came from, I think my smart little brother, you should know.”

Of course, Yin Bin knew.

From the moment Ji Baijian called him, he had initiated a discreet investigation.

As expected, that accident he had suspected, where he had to mortgage a billion shares, was indeed a covert operation!

His face turned even gloomier.

At that moment, Yin Qin’s expression also changed.

Such a coincidental coincidence...

He strived to calm himself down as much as possible at the moment!

Yin Ying explained, “So, originally, you should have held 54% of the shares of the Milky Way, having absolute control, but now, you don’t have it! In other words, for any decisions, because of your shareholding reason, it’s no longer up to one person, and just so it happens...”

Yin Ying rose from her seat.

She walked towards Yin Bin, “Today’s news is the agreement signed by all other board members except you. I was initially going to ask Weng Cheng to get your signature, but when I calculated, it seemed that more than half of the directors already agreed. According to the rules and regulations, any board decision agreed by more than half of the shares can be executed directly. Given how busy you are, taking care of your family, I kindly refrained from bothering you!”

“Yin Ying!” Yin Qin cried out his sister’s name.

“Don’t be so hard on yourself. In reality, our father was truly too biased back in the day. If he hadn’t favored you so much, I wouldn’t have had to go this far,” Yin Ying said casually. “Anyway, no matter what, the winner takes all in a fair business competition, whatever the outcome may be. Coincidentally, you made it here today amidst your busy schedule, so let’s re-elect the chairman.”

Yin Bin gritted his teeth.

Yin Ying simply didn’t care about Yin Bin’s feelings. She turned around and said, “Today, taking advantage of the presence of all board members, let’s start to re-elect the CEO of the company. Everyone will vote directly. Mr. Wei, please chair the meeting.”

“Yes.” Wei Dong responded respectfully.

Yin Bin stared at Wei Dong coldly.

Never did he imagine that people close to him, those he had always trusted, had also been bribed by Yin Ying.

“According to the company’s rules and regulations, the CEO is responsible for all the company’s project operations; important projects require a collective vote by the board. The current resolution by the collective assembly is to re-elect the CEO. Please cast your votes, respected board members.”

Everyone unanimously voted for Weng Cheng.

With this, more than fifty percent had already voted, rendering Yin Bin’s numerous shares pointless.

“Chairman, please cast your vote.”

“Is there any point?” Yin Bin remarked sarcastically.

“If that’s the case.” Yin Ying stated directly, “Then, Mr. Wei, I’ll trouble you to announce the results.”

“Yes.” Wei Dong responded with utmost respect, “The highest board of directors of the Milky Way Group has voted in favor of appointing Weng Cheng as the new CEO, simultaneously relieving the former director of his duties. Mr. Yin Bin, the chairman, is also relieved of his duties as CEO!”

Yin Bin’s face was overcast.

Weng Cheng stood up from his seat, he said, “Thank you all directors for your trust, please rest assured that I will do my utmost best to lead our company towards greater success!”

Applause echoed throughout the room.

Warm applause.

Weng Cheng’s proud smile was not hidden.

At that moment, Yin Ying felt extremely elated.

Yin Bin turned and left.

He neither lost his temper nor completely lost his composure, he simply turned and walked away.

Yin Qin watched his father’s retreating figure.

At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to kill Weng Cheng and Yin Ying, mother and son.

He restrained himself, following his father’s departure.

Yin Ying and Weng Cheng watched their backs, and the two exchanged a malicious glance and smile.

The Chairman’s office.

Yin Bin kicked his desk angrily, causing a loud noise to echo in the office, indicative of his rage.

Yin Qin, somewhat startled, watched.

His father was truly scary when he was angry.

“Father.” Yin Qin called to him.

“Don’t call me!” Yin Bin roared furiously.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t realize my actions would embarrass you in front of so many directors, leaving you completely humiliated. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t tell Mom about your disgraceful scene!” Yin Qin vowed.

“Yin Qin, are you trying to kill me?!” Yin Bin’s blood pressure was rising rapidly.

“Then I’ll tell Mom...”

“Damn it, you idiot!” Yin Bin cursed in anger.

Yin Qin pursed his lips.

Actually, he was just trying to lighten the mood.

He knew exactly what kind of disaster he had brought upon his father this time.

He wasn’t as thoughtless as he appeared to be. The pain he felt was probably more intense than anyone else’s!

He began doubting whether he was truly much more foolish than others.

Just then.

The door to the office was suddenly pushed open.

Yin Bin and Yin Qin turned their heads to look.

Yin Ying and Weng Cheng entered, displaying an air of arrogance.

At that moment, Yin Qin charged towards them in anger but was stopped by Yin Bin.

Unfazed by Yin Qin’s actions, Yin Ying said, “What’s wrong? Haven’t been taught a lesson yet?!”

Yin Qin’s face was extremely pale.

Yin Ying said, “I’ve told you before, don’t act rudely in front of your aunt. Your aunt is quite terrifying when she’s serious!”

“Haven’t I treated you well enough?!” Yin Bin retorted coldly.

Yin Ying turned her gaze to her brother, “Nice, very nice, but if Dad gave most of the shares to me back then, I would have treated you very well too! Brother, considering we come from a business family, I’m sure you understand just how important benefits are. However, we are still family, blood is thicker than water. I won’t be absolutely ruthless. As long as you obediently listen to me, divorce Qin Keqin – I find that woman disgusting – and willingly follow me while sincerely grooming Weng Cheng as the successor, we can still co-exist peacefully. I’m not a cold-blooded person...”

“Sister.” Yin Bin suddenly interrupted her.

Yin Ying raised an eyebrow.

“I advise you not to be too stubborn,” Yin Bin stressed each word, “I’ve been tolerating all your moves, considering our familial relation. But once you cross the line, and let’s not forget that we come from a business family, I will not be compassionate.”

“Heh.” Yin Ying scoffed, “Threatening me? I certainly won’t be intimidated by your threats! Since I was able to let my son hold the power of the entire company with such a thin percentage of shares, I can certainly crush you so thoroughly that you’ll never recover!”

“Then let’s wait and see.”

“However, I do understand dad’s decision to some extent. With your capabilities, supporting the development of the Yin family isn’t hard, but... unfortunately, you fell victim to Qin Keqin in this lifetime.”

“This has nothing to do with her!” Yin Bin’s face darkened.

“How can it not? If it weren’t for her giving you such a foolish son, you wouldn’t have ended up where you are today.” Yin Ying stated bluntly.

Yin Qin gritted his teeth, his fists clenched.

“Just one Ji Baixing was enough to ruin him, enough to let us get what we wanted...” Yin Ying looked at Yin Qin, “Aunt really has to thank Ji Baixing. So you see, she just let Ji Baixing know the real face of Li Wenjun, so she wouldn’t be obsessed with a scumbag!”

“Enough!” Yin Qin couldn’t take it any more.

“Yin Qin.” Yin Ying stepped forward, fiercely slapping Yin Qin’s face.

Yin Qin’s face looked terrible.

“Learn well, or you won’t even know how others will screw you over!”

Yin Qin was livid.

Yin Ying dropped her hand, turned and walked away casually.

Leaving behind a phrase, “Nothing but a cur.”

“Damn!” Yin Qin could no longer hold back.

She moved towards Yin Ying aggressively.

She could insult him but not his father!

“Yin Qin, do you think you haven’t done enough?!” Yin Bin roared, “Do you think the mess you’ve made isn’t serious enough?!”

Yin Qin’s body froze for a moment.

Yin Ying chuckled coldly.

His family should’ve been disquieted a long time ago.

Yin Bin turned to Yin Qin, “Can all problems be solved with fists? What can you do after hitting them? Get arrested by the police, let it be known that Wei Dong’s son has no manners, and be despised by the whole country?! Do you think you can rule the world with some martial arts skills!”

Yin Qin bit his lip.

“Throughout childhood, what kind of troubles have you caused, what have you accomplished? Yes, Weng Cheng has evil intentions, Weng Cheng is cunning, but at least he knows what he wants, at least he can earnestly learn in the company, at least he is capable of managing the company, what about you?! Even if I have the ability to hand the company over to you now, can you confidently tell me you can handle it?!”

Yin Qin was speechless as he had no ability to handle it.

“I admit that the matter between your mother and I has had an impact on you, and I admit that because of what happened between your mother and I, I have been too indulgent towards you, making you turn out like this – worthless. I am responsible for that!” Yin Bin was enraged, “But, you should at least know that what you are doing is wrong, and what you should do, instead of indiscriminately acting out in anger and emotion, doing whatever you feel like and never considering the consequences!”

Yin Qin looked straight at his father.

He had been scolded by his father when he was young, but it was his first time facing such harsh, disappointed, and disapproving words.

Yin Bin said, “Reflect on whether you are prepared to continue this way, or whether you decide to reclaim all that you have lost! When you figure it out, find me! Get out!”

Yin Qin looked at his father’s cold and ruthless face.

The next second, he turned around and left in anger.

The door was slammed shut with force.

Yin Bin stared in the direction of the door.

If Yin Qin still does not repent after this, he would just have to resign himself to his fate!

He leaned back in his chair.

Today’s event, on top of hurting his self-esteem, also left him feeling somewhat disheartened.

When his father left most of the company’s equity to him, he never saw that his sister cared this much. They had been living peacefully together for years, and he did his best to take care of her. He never thought that she would treat him this way!

Well, it’s better to see her true colors.

This would make him less soft-hearted!

Yin Qin walked out of Yin Bin’s office.

He admitted that his father’s scolding was very unpleasant, and everything was true, which made him feel completely humiliated in front of his father!

For the first time, he felt ashamed and thought that he really was worthless!

He hesitated in his steps.

Not too far away, Weng Cheng seemed to be waiting for him on purpose.

Seeing him looking so frustrated, he laughed triumphantly.

He said sarcastically, “Yin Qin, you never thought you’d have this day, did you!”

Yin Qin looked at him coldly.

“You’ve been always acting arrogantly in the past, treating me with disrespect whenever you pleased. I’ve been waiting for this day for so long! Now looking at you so ragged, I feel immense pleasure! Yin Qin, you are indeed the biggest fool in this world. God gave you such good opportunities, such a perfect hand, yet you played it all away, made a complete mess of it!” Weng Cheng laughed maliciously, “If I were you, I would have jumped off a building, rather than living in this world and be despised by everyone!”
