There was something Wu Xianyong didn't say:

It's because of you that I'm afraid!

However, before he could say anything, Jing Zhe dragged him into the palace and brought him to the outside of the Golden Palace.

Wu Xianyong felt as if the wound, which had just begun to heal, had reopened...

I couldn't help but silently mourn: What sins did you commit to deserve such unbearable suffering?

Her gaze toward Jing Zhe became even more vicious.

Jing Zhe turned around with a grin: "Hey, is this how Minister Wu looks at those who help you? Be careful, or I'll drag you to the imperial palace!"

At this moment, there is still a long flight of stairs to cross to reach the Golden Palace. Considering Wu Xianyong's current condition, it is quite difficult for him. He must move up slowly, step by step. If Jing Zhe drags him up, his testicles will probably suffer another wave of merciless blows!

So he got scared.

"You dare! Let me tell you, if you dare to harm me again, I...I..."

Wu Xianyong was stunned for a long time, unable to think of what to say to frighten Jing Zhe, and suddenly felt a little sad.

Damn it, what a disaster!

Now, not a single member of the Wu family attends court, and they are completely unaware of the major events that have occurred in the court. That is why Wu Xianyong insisted on attending court despite his injuries. But who would have thought that Jing Zhe would be so ruthless?

He cursed inwardly, thinking that if he had known it would be like this, he would have stayed home and rested for a few more days, at least until his injuries were almost fully recovered before trying again!

"President Jing, you visited our Wu family the day before yesterday. I've figured out what you were talking about, and I've already taken care of it. It's a bit unfair of you to treat me like this now, isn't it?"

Taking action was out of the question; Wu Xianyong chose to reason with them.

"You got it done? You got nothing!"

Jing Zhe sneered, "Your grandson is doing really well at our newspaper. He even deliberately stops a few people for me every day to make my job harder. Is he afraid you won't become famous? Well then, I'll grant your wish and make you a huge star!"

"???"

Completely bewildered, Wu Xianyong ignored the pain in his groin and frowned, asking, "What are you talking about? I clearly told Wu Pin to stop going to the newspaper! Are you trying to retaliate against me?"

"hehe."

Jing Zhe sneered: "You're not letting him go? Then why is he still outside the newspaper office? You're not being honest, Minister Wu!"

"..."

Wu Xianyong was speechless for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Wu Pin might really not listen to him and secretly sneak off to the newspaper office again!

But what he didn't understand was, what was so good about going there? Given Jing Zhe's personality, would he really let him go? Could it be that his grandson had masochistic tendencies?

Jing Zhe had no idea what Wu Xianyong was imagining. He gave him a cold glance and said, "Minister Wu, you don't need to make any more excuses. Wu Pin is your grandson. I don't believe he would dare disobey you! Since you want to be on the front page, I'll grant your wish!"

...

"Minister Wu has actually come to court?"

"Is Minister Wu's injury any better?"

"Minister Wu is indeed worthy of being a military officer. He came to court so quickly despite suffering such serious injuries. Impressive!"

"Oh, President Jing came with Vice Minister Wu!"

While the two were talking at the bottom of the steps, officials who came one after another would greet them as they passed by. Wu Xianyong had lost his manhood, so he was very secretive about his injury. When others asked, he would just smile and not say anything.

"Is it difficult for Minister Wu to climb these steps given his injuries?"

"These steps are quite high, they're not easy to walk on!"

"Yes, why don't we all lend a hand and help Vice Minister Wu up there!"

"..."

The ministers who were able to attend court were all of high rank. Even if they hadn't witnessed the events that occurred at the hunting grounds, they must have heard about them. So they were all concerned about where Wu Xianyong was injured.

Wu Xianyong was also moved, but before he could speak, Jing Zhe said somewhat unhappily, "Gentlemen, why do you look down on Minister Wu? Is such a minor injury even considered an injury to Minister Wu? I went to the Wu family for an interview the day before yesterday, and Minister Wu was able to move freely in his own courtyard. Aren't you slapping Minister Wu in the face by saying this? Or should I write this in the newspaper?"

No, no, no!

Upon hearing this, the ministers waved their hands repeatedly, seemingly terrified of the newspaper.

"President Jing, we're just being too concerned!"

"Yes, Minister Wu is so brave, we won't help him!"

"Okay, let's go!"

"..."

After saying this, the ministers quickly walked up the steps and fled.

Watching their retreating figures, Jing Zhe was very satisfied.

He then turned and left, leaving Wu Xianyong standing alone at the bottom of the steps outside the Golden Palace, lost in thought.

"That beast!"

He cursed Wu Pin.

"That bastard!"

He looked up at the long steps, then thought of how Jing Zhe not only wouldn't help him up, but had also sent away everyone who could have helped him...

That's inhuman!

Filled with grief and indignation, but utterly helpless, he could only incline upwards step by step. With each step, the pain in his groin felt like it was being torn apart, causing him unbearable agony…

...

When Jing Zhe entered the Golden Palace, he was greeted by many people.

"President Jing is here?"

"President Jing looks great!"

Seeing President Jing reminds me of my youth, and thinking back to my youth, I too—

"Shut up. You weren't as good-looking as President Jing when you were young, so what are you lamenting about?"

"..."

Jing Zhe greeted everyone warmly. Because he entered the hall so late, someone asked curiously, "Prime Minister Zhu and Attendant Zhu have been here for a while now, why is President Jing so late? Is it to avoid suspicion, so he deliberately arrived a little late?"

Haha~

After he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Jing Zhe chuckled a few times and said, "Avoid suspicion? There's no need. I plan to interview each of you gentlemen in the future and have you all appear in my newspaper. If I were to avoid suspicion, wouldn't I be unable to even attend court?"

As soon as Jing Zhe finished speaking, everyone was excited.

They were too embarrassed to even mention it, but Jing Zhe offered to interview them, which made them even more impressed with him.

At this moment, Hao Junguang also came over.

"You all underestimate President Jing! The reason President Jing is late is because he was out doing good deeds!"

"Doing good deeds?"

Everyone looked at Jing Zhe with curiosity, wanting to find out the truth.

Jing Zhe nodded slightly, his face serious, and said, "Oh, it's just a small matter, a simple favor! I'm really embarrassed to bring it up with you all, as if I'm asking for credit!"

Seeing this, everyone was even more impressed.

"President Jing is a man of noble character and integrity, doing good deeds anonymously. He is a true role model for us all!"

"Yes, yes..."

Instantly, the flattery began.
