Chapter 726: Taking the Punishment on Behalf (3)
I didn’t expect that President Shi Mai’er’s so-called punishment would be somewhat similar to the ancient family law of Country Z, but perhaps even more brutal.She could almost picture the scene where the rod came down, tearing flesh and breaking skin.
Before her eyes, it seemed as if everything was a blur of blood and flesh...
Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively grabbed Lu Jihan’s sleeve: "Jinhan, will His Excellency the President... Will Amu..."
She didn’t dare to voice her fear that Amu might be beaten to death; it was too terrifying.
Lu Jihan turned his head, took her hand, and said, "Don’t worry, His Excellency the President knows what he’s doing. There must be a reason for his actions."
Only then did Song Yinyin nod and say nothing more.
At this moment, the punishment had already begun.
The fist-sized cudgel fell from midair, landing heavily on Amu’s body with a series of thudding sounds that made the hairs on one’s skin stand on end.
Amu endured without uttering a single sound as the canes repeatedly struck him.
"..."
Song Yinyin instinctively closed her eyes.
She did not know how many strikes passed before she opened her eyes and looked up to see Amu’s body covered in welts, the blood soaking through his clothes and pants...
Yet he still uttered no sound, his lips tightly bitten together.
If one looked closely, his forehead was covered in bean-sized beads of sweat.
Seeing this, Song Yinyin’s heart tightened.
Unaware of how many more strikes followed, Shana suddenly let out a scream of ’Amu’, and upon closer inspection, Amu had already fainted.
Upon seeing this, Song Yinyin’s heart sank.
Could it be that Amu...
Only for President Shi Mai’er to wave his large hand, and a bodyguard went over to check his breath, then said, "He’s still breathing, just fainted."
"Take him back and have a doctor look at him."
"Yes!"
A few bodyguards stepped forward to carry Amu away.
Shana, in a state of shock, collapsed onto the ground, her face pale, hands clenched tightly together, and her lips trembling uncontrollably.
President Shi Mai’er turned back, glaring at Shana on the ground, and said, "You are punished with a week of confinement! Someone, send Miss back!"
"Yes!"
Madam Vera, deeply sympathetic for her daughter, followed her to her room.
As they walked away, tears streamed silently down her face: "My Shana, my poor daughter... such misfortune..."
It was only when they had gone far enough away and the sound of coughing reached them that Song Yinyin withdrew her gaze, her heart imbued with indescribable complexity.
At this moment, President Shi Mai’er finally looked at Lu Jihan and Song Yinyin, seated on the sidelines, regretfully saying:
"Today’s events are finally clear. I hope it hasn’t troubled you, but I also bear responsibility for this matter. It’s my failure in managing my household; I should introspect the most..."
Song Yinyin and Lu Jihan hurriedly stood up, shaking their heads and saying, "There’s no need to say that, Your Excellency the President."
At this point, pursuing the matter further holds no meaning.
Lu Jihan and Song Yinyin bid farewell to President Shi Mai’er and returned to their hotel.
Inside the room, Song Yinyin turned to her husband and asked, "Jinhan, do you believe Amu did what happened today?"
"I don’t believe it."
Lu Jihan coldly uttered three words.
Afterward, he added, "President Shi Mai’er wouldn’t believe it either. He just gave Shana a way out; it’s enough that we know."
Some things, when spoken outright, may not be beneficial.
Hearing this, Song Yinyin nodded, reaching a consensus with Lu Jihan.
