C184 (2/2)

However, Su Wangzheng's other weakness was that she was not afraid of death and would rather die than submit. This, he hated the most, but he could do nothing about it.

”I'm afraid.” Su He's zither bit his own lips for a long time before he finally opened his mouth and spoke in a low voice.

Although she tried her best to cover her nervousness with calmness, the shaking of her shoulders betrayed her thoughts.

She actually admitted it?

As far as Xiao Yiran could remember, Su Wangzheng had never given in to him in terms of words or actions. But today, she actually admitted to being afraid?

Sensing Xiao Yiran's confused expression, Su You's lips curled up. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Yiran with disdain. Don't you want me to give in? Now that I have admitted it, you can't believe it again? ”

”You gave in? Why didn't I see it? ” Xiao Yiran purposely looked away before coldly asking.

”Xiao Yiran, if you're a straightforward person and you're not lying, then tell me how to vent your anger. Speak.” Su Wangzheng sighed and then firmly asked. She was doing her best to place all the blame on herself, so as to not let Xiao Yiran have the chance to hurt Wang Yingying, that warm-hearted but innocent girl.

”Alright, that's what you said.” Xiao Yiran suddenly laughed coldly and then said, ”I had originally wanted to show mercy to the fairer sex, but now I find that there is no need. Since we have the country's laws and family rules, let's do it properly.”

”Alright.” Su Zhizheng calmly nodded her head. Since Xiao Yiran said it was a matter of business, he wouldn't do anything to her, right? It would not be a bad thing if he could treat her like an ordinary maid.

Go and get the housekeeper.” Xiao Yiran took a deep breath and sat on the bed with his legs crossed. ”Let's go.

Su Wangzheng looked at Xiao Yiran in confusion, then opened the door and left the room. Inside the hall, the butler was leaning against the wall, seemingly waiting for Xiao Yiran's instructions. Had he been here all along? Then why didn't she notice it when she came in?

Su Zhizheng walked step by step towards the butler and bowed to him. Then, she said, ”Mr Xiao requests your presence.”

”Alright.” The steward nodded his head and walked towards the barn with large strides. He was really well-trained. He didn't look surprised at all.

Su Wangzheng sighed and helplessly followed behind the butler.

When he reached the entrance of the warehouse, the butler knocked lightly on the door. After receiving an affirmative answer from the person inside, he opened the door and took two steps inside. Su Wangzheng followed him in helplessly. They maintained a distance of one step behind the butler and respectfully stood there with their heads bowed.

”To leave his post without permission and impersonate him, what should he do?” The corner of Xiao Yiran's mouth curled up in a smile as he looked at Su Wanxin and asked the butler.

”Twenty whips and then chased out of the villa.” The butler looked up quickly. He answered.

”Do you have anything to say?” Xiao Yiran's eyes were still on Su Wangzheng, who was standing behind the butler, as he retorted.

Since she was unable to escape, she decided to do it herself. Su Wangzheng raised her head and met Xiao Yiran's eyes. She then firmly said, ”Execute it.”

In truth, she also understood that twenty lashes wasn't that heavy for her. She could still bear it.

At most, he could stay in bed for a few days. Her zither would not kneel and beg for mercy because of this little bit of suffering.

”Pfft, you want me to kick you out, right?” Looking at the heroic Mu You, Xiao Yiran suddenly burst into laughter. He laughed evilly and kept his eyes on Su Wenzheng's zither, as if he wanted to see through her.

”Nope.” Su Wangzheng, however, remained calm. Her body was still standing upright, and her head was still lowered to the level of dust. However, her voice was very indifferent, very clear. Although her voice was not loud, it was so firm that one would not believe it was fake in the slightest.

”Then we should get the bodyguards at the door to carry out their orders. The two of them have twenty lashes each, there's no need to chase them out.” Xiao Yiran blinked before feigning helplessness as he sighed. He knew that Su Zhizheng wasn't afraid of him getting beaten up. If she was, he would have already accepted her into his palm. He didn't need to waste so much energy. This was also what he had said before, that this was the weakness of Su Wangzheng that he hated the most. He would rather die than submit, and he was not afraid of anything. If it was during the war, it would be the second Liu Hulan.

However, Su Wanzheng also had another weakness that he was most adept at exploiting, and that was that he valued relationships and was compassionate. This flaw was fatal. Thus, as long as she grasped it properly, she could use this weakness of hers to deal with the previous one.

”Yes.” The butler heard Xiao Yiran's orders and was about to leave the room.

”Wait. You can't punish her. ” Su Wangzheng suddenly stretched out her arm to block the butler's path as she resolutely said this.

”Oh? ”Why?” Xiao Yiran suddenly smiled and asked. Sure enough, it was like this. He had completely seen through Su You's guzheng's personality.

”This is an abuse of lynchings, it's against the law.” Su Wangzheng thought for a long time before coming up with an excuse.

She hadn't thought that someone would still be able to beat someone even though they only had a poor family background. With such a weak girl like Wang Yingying, how could she withstand it?

But how could she stop Xiao Yiran?

However, she also knew that it wasn't very practical to discuss the law with an underworld boss. If they care about the law, then it's not an underworld. However, it seemed like Xiao Yiran hadn't revealed his identity as a gangster yet. Was it really that useful to use the law to scare him?
