The School Beauty's Super Rogue-Chapter 238 - 236: No Farewell

Qin Hao effortlessly supported Yu Dongling with one hand and gave Yu Qing one last look. The corners of his mouth curved slightly as he said calmly, "Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for Dongling."

"Yu Qing, we’ll never meet again."

With that, Qin Hao, without any further hesitation, carried Yu Dongling, squeezed sideways through the window, and jumped out!

Yu Qing watched Qin Hao and Yu Dongling leave, heading towards a grave of impending death, left alone. Yet he smiled, at least his daughter was safe; he could die in peace.

He closed his eyes, feeling no fear of death, rather a sense of calmness.

He quietly listened to the beeping countdown of the bomb, knowing it was the clock winding down his life.

"Beep——!!"

Boom~!!

An office in the corner of the second floor of the Creativity Design Center’s C exhibition area in Qingshan City exploded into dazzling flames, and the huge explosion reverberated anew across the exhibition venue that had just calmed down.

The crowd that had just restored order burst into screams and cries once more.

Qin Hao, holding Yu Dongling, landed from a two-floor height, his knees only slightly bending to absorb the force as if it were nothing.

The power of this bomb was controlled just right, only affecting one room. It wouldn’t harm the main structure of the building but ensured that anyone inside would be killed.

Clearly, the Dog Disciple didn’t want to blow things out of proportion, else risking the wrath of the military would be too costly.

Qin Hao landed on a lawn outside the exhibition building. The flower beds on both sides were blooming with fiery red cockscomb, but bricks and mortar from the explosion on the second floor had smashed them to the ground, the bright petals like flowing blood.

Qin Hao raised his head to look at the large hole blown into the wall, sighed slightly, and then carried Yu Dongling away.

A generation of heroes in Qingshan City was blown to oblivion in a small conference room, leaving nothing behind. Thinking of it, it was indeed lamentable, but it only caused a slight ripple in Qin Hao’s heart, nothing more.

Walk by the river often enough, and your shoes will get wet. Having chosen this path of living by the sword, such a day was bound to come.

Qin Hao carried Yu Dongling back to his car and drove her home.

At that time, the villa was empty. Zhao Mengke had taken Gu Qinyue shopping, and Lin Yuhan was busy with the new drug launch at the company.

Qin Hao carried Yu Dongling to the room, let her lie on his bed for the time being.

He gently tucked her in; Yu Dongling was still in a deep sleep, her lips dry and cracked, with tears still at the corners of her eyes. Dried tear tracks blurred her makeup, leaving her face in a mess that looked pitiful.

Her hair was messily strewn over her cheeks, and her brows were furrowed tightly, as if even in sleep she worried over what had happened.

Qin Hao took a towel, rinsed it in warm water, and carefully wiped off the tear-stained face of Yu Dongling, tucked her in again, quietly closed the door, and left the room.

Yu Qing’s death wasn’t a pity, but Yu Dongling, a pure young girl, became the biggest victim. In a single day, first deceived by the father she trusted most, becoming bait, she then lost her closest kin.

Such a blow on a delicate girl was truly too cruel.

Time passed slowly, and Yu Dongling was truly exhausted, mentally and physically. She slept until evening.

Qin Hao sat bored, browsing forums at the computer desk. Yu Dongling frowned, coughed a few times, then her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she opened her eyes.

Qin Hao heard her stir, quickly turned to look over, and saw that she had woken up.

Yu Dongling’s eyes were vacant for a while, then she gently called out, "Daddy."

Qin Hao remained silent as Yu Dongling called several times, gradually regaining some focus in her eyes. Looking around, she dazedly paused, then her eyes quickly reddened. From the moment she woke, she naturally understood what had ultimately happened.

"Sob, sob, sob sob sob."

She sat up, hugged her knees tightly, and lowered her head to quietly cry.

Qin Hao was silent for a while, then stood up, gently moving to Yu Dongling’s window, hesitated, then sat beside her.

Yu Dongling poured out her grief, her sobs suppressed rather than aloud, yet this subdued crying pained Qin Hao even more.

Qin Hao extended his hand, lightly patted her shoulder, then gently draped an arm around her.

At that moment, Yu Dongling seemed to find solace, clinging to Qin Hao’s neck and burying her head in his chest, sobbing uncontrollably.

Qin Hao let her hold him, softly patting her back. Before long, he felt his chest soaked with tears.

Yu Dongling cried her heart out for a long time, her emotions eventually calming, her open cries turning into occasional soft sobs in Qin Hao’s embrace.

Suppressing sadness inside will only make it hurt more, but letting it all out naturally brings some relief once emotions are vented.

Yu Dongling rested her head against Qin Hao’s chest, sobbing quietly and saying with grievance, "I don’t have a daddy anymore. I miss Daddy; I don’t want him to leave me just like that."

Qin Hao gently petted Yu Dongling’s hair and said, "Your dad hasn’t left; he’ll turn into the wind to always watch over you."

"Are you coaxing a three-year-old? No need for the literary act."

Yu Dongling’s voice still carried a sob, but her mood had stabilized a lot.

Qin Hao ruffled her hair and said:

"You’re crying just like a three-year-old, and you don’t appreciate the comfort?"

Yu Dongling turned her head aside in sadness, remained silent for a long time, then unwillingly asked again, "Is it true my dad will never come back again?"

Qin Hao hesitated, then slowly and directly said, "In the end, the bomb exploded. I’m sorry, I could only take you away. I’m sorry, I did my best."

Upon hearing this, Yu Dongling closed her eyes in despair, tears falling again like broken strings of pearls, rolling continuously from her cheeks and nose.

Qin Hao just held Yu Dongling tightly, saying nothing. After everything that had happened, whether she liked it or not, she had to grow, become stronger and more mature.

The room remained silent for a long time, then Qin Hao gently asked, "Do you hate him?"
