Hong An's wife finally reacted and slowly turned her head to look in the direction of Shen Qingwu.

"You can live, but you have to be my puppet." Shen Qingwu's voice was cold. She was in the sunlight, and her shadow fell on Hong An's head.

"Puppet?" Hong An stood up in surprise, but in front of Shen Qingwu, his hunched back still couldn't be completely straightened.

He looked at Shen Qingwu's beautiful yet cold profile in disbelief.

"His behavior will harm many innocent people. Sooner or later, he will get into big trouble and either die on the street or be sentenced to death." Shen Qingwu said bluntly while looking at the sun above his head.

“Listen to Miss Shen.” The silent Mrs. Hong An suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Call it karma, call it bad seed, but he is still my flesh and blood. I have a responsibility to him, but now I am powerless to control him."

"If Miss Shen can spare his life and prevent him from harming innocent people, I am willing to spend the rest of my life atonement."

Before she finished speaking, she slowly knelt down towards Shen Qingwu, knocking her forehead on the steps like a devout believer.

If the person in front of her can't do anything, she and Hong An will have to reluctantly give up and do it themselves in three days.

Hong An's drooping hands trembled. Facing the afternoon sun, he tried to see Shen Qingwu's blurry face and asked her, "What else can we do as a couple?"

Shen Qingwu turned around, his back to the light, like a living Bodhisattva saving all living beings, but his voice was cold, "Go to the Big Buddha Temple and chant sutras for forty-nine days to pray for the souls you once hurt. For the rest of your life, do good deeds and don't worry about the results."

Hong An quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly at her face. He knelt on the ground next to his wife and kowtowed to Shen Qingwu, "Thank you, Miss Shen."

Even if she didn't say it, in their worst plan, they would kill their son with their own hands, distribute the family wealth and become a monk.

Shen Qingwu did not stop him. She could bear the three kowtows and turned back to her room.

In the room, Hong Xiangyang had struggled to crawl to the edge of the bed and stretched his neck to listen to the conversation outside.

When Shen Qingwu thought of the couple at the door, his eyes became even darker and he exuded a cold aura that said "keep away from strangers".

Under Hong Xiangyang's fixed gaze, she landed one foot on the edge of the bed and roughly reached out to pinch his chin. With a flick of her hand, the chin returned to its place, and the torn wound at the corner of his mouth became a little bigger.

There was a layer of cold sweat on Hong Xiangyang's forehead, but his expression did not change, as if he did not feel any pain.

Shen Qingwu's arms fell on his knees, and he lowered his eyes to look at the person on the bed.

When Hong Xiangyang began to swallow his saliva, her clear but pleasant voice rang out, "Do you want to die, or do you want to leave here with me?"

"Of course I don't want to die, beautiful sister." Hong Xiangyang's voice was tense, but he did not hesitate and tried to force a flattering smile towards Shen Qingwu.

Shen Qingwu sneered, his lips curled up in a mocking arc. He leaned down a little, closing the distance between them. The aura of the king of beasts emanated, "Then do you know where you went wrong?"

The ingratiating smile on Hong Xiangyang's face cracked.

As Shen Qingwu spoke, he clearly felt as if his internal organs were being squeezed by a force and would explode at any time.

"I shouldn't have such thoughts about my mother." Hong Xiangyang's voice trembled, and his body uncontrollably wanted to shrink into a shrimp.

He looked in fear at the person in front of him who looked like a fairy but whose temperament suddenly turned into that of a murderous devil.

Shen Qingwu doesn't like to smile when facing strangers, and now he is even colder, as if he can freeze people with just one look.

"If you don't want to die, you can only leave with me and obey my orders from now on. Can you do it?" Shen Qingwu's right hand fell on Hong Xiangyang's shoulder, with an intimidating aura.

Hong Xiangyang's body trembled violently, his facial features distorted with fear. He struggled to get up and kowtow to her, "I can do it. From now on, you are my master. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Looking at the trembling man, Shen Qingwu knew clearly that the biggest reason why Hong Xiangyang surrendered now was that he could not beat him.

Even though he was terrified at the moment, he still thought deep down that he would repay her double in the future!

In Hong Xiangyang's future, she saw Hong Xiangyang issuing a challenge to her.

More than that, you can’t see.

"Everyone says that raising a tiger will bring disaster, and releasing a tiger back into the mountains will bring endless troubles. Today I want to see who is the real king of beasts." Shen Qingwu murmured with a mocking smile.

He took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and stuffed a black ball the size of a soybean into Hong Xiangyang's mouth.

Hong Xiangyang's body trembled uncontrollably.

He didn't know why, although Shen Qingwu looked calm and almost gentle, as soon as she spoke, his internal organs felt like they were about to explode and he had difficulty breathing.

"Do you want to swallow it yourself, or should I help you?" Looking at the person holding the pill without moving, Shen Qingwu clapped his hands, put down his legs, stood by the bed, raised his hands and rolled up his sleeves.

Hong Xiangyang's eyes widened, and he grunted in fear and swallowed the pill in his mouth. The bitterness spread to his throat, but it also seemed to ease his fear and trembling.

However, he didn't expect that after he had eaten it, Shen Qingwu's pair of delicate and fair hands actually reached out towards him.

He did not forget that not long ago, it was this hand that looked like it could break at any time that broke the corner of his mouth and directly blew off his chin.

Although he was insensitive to pain, these hands still brought him a sense of fear.

Instinct made him dodge backwards.

Shen Qingwu dropped his hand in mid-air, looked at the person who dodged, suddenly smiled, and snapped his fingers.

Before Hong Xiangyang could react, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and broke out in a cold sweat.

This was the most intense pain he had ever felt.

But in an instant, with another snap of Shen Qingwu's fingers, the pain disappeared. If it weren't for the cold sweat dripping from his forehead, he would have thought that the suffocating colic just now was an illusion.

"If you listen to me and dare to betray me, this will be your end." Shen Qingwu smiled dangerously.

Hong Xiangyang felt like a prey being targeted by a wild beast, and his heart almost stopped.

He shook his head, "I don't dare."

Shen Qingwu raised his hand again and moved closer. He held his breath and dared not move.

Immediately afterwards, his body tensed.

When he lowered his eyes, he saw Shen Qingwu's hand grabbing the hemp rope that was tied around his arm five times.

Under Hong Xiangyang's incredulous gaze, Shen Qingwu exerted force with both hands without even frowning, and the five hemp ropes broke instantly.

The debris flew onto his face, and Hong Xiangyang forgot to react again.

This seemingly beautiful and delicate woman shocked the ten-year-old boy again and again.

Shen Qingwu threw away the rope in his hand, clapped his hands, stood up, and ordered, "I want to see you in the kennel on the outskirts of the city at midnight tonight."

"Yes, sir!" Hong Xiangyang, who was pulling off the rope on his body, stopped and looked at her without any hesitation.

Shen Qingwu laughed again, his voice gentle as if he was teasing his own pet, "If you dare to do bad things during this period, do you know the consequences?"
