Jiang Mingyuan fell to the ground, supporting himself with his hands on the cement floor as he slowly backed away.
Yin Ruohong tried her best to suppress the urge to kill him with her own hands.
"What...what do you want to do?" Jiang Mingyuan's voice trembled slightly. "Yin Ruohong...using vigilante justice is a crime!"
"Vigilante justice?" Yin Ruohong sneered. "You're not worth me using vigilante justice for! Ha, even if I did use vigilante justice on you, I'd be breaking the laws of the capital, and I'm from Southeast Asia!"
"you……"
"Don't worry, Chairman Jiang!" Yin Ruohong emphasized each word. "This is not some kind of vigilante justice. On the contrary, I heard that Chairman Jiang has been unwell since his bankruptcy, often experiencing dizziness and high blood pressure. So... I came here specifically to treat Mr. Jiang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the slender silver needles in his hand emitted a chilling light, and hatred surged in Yin Ruohong's deep eyes.
Never before had he felt such a strong urge to use all his knowledge to kill someone.
His hands, which had saved lives and given hope to countless people, suddenly turned from an angel into a devil.
But he would rather become a devil than let the people he loves suffer any more injustice.
"No, no..." Jiang Mingyuan was so frightened he wet himself. "You can't!"
Yin Ruohong, expressionless, suddenly grabbed his collar, lifted him up, and stabbed him hard in the neck!
That acupoint wasn't fatal, but it was incredibly painful, and the pain was a slow, penetrating pain, like a poison invading, gradually eroding his remaining willpower.
Jiang Mingyuan's expression twitched, and his miserable screams filled the entire basement.
Yin Ruohong aimed at the meridians and inserted needles one by one, venting her anger with each needle.
Stitch by stitch, I'm making up for all the years I've neglected Yoon Moon-hee.
Jiang Mingyuan was stabbed in the neck and at the Dazhui point, both areas densely populated with nerves. Under extreme pain, he gradually began to hallucinate, struggling and laughing wildly.
"Hahaha... Yin Ruohong!" Jiang Mingyuan's eyes were unfocused, and he gradually lost his mind. "Even if you torture me and kill me, Yin Wenxi is not the same Yin Wenxi as before!"
Yin Ruohong's hand trembled slightly.
"I've already had my way with her!" Jiang Mingyuan raved, "I've completely ruined her! Haha..."
"I don't care." Yin Ruohong gripped his neck tightly, her eyes bloodshot.
"Don't care? Stop pretending to be noble! Haha... What man wouldn't care about this? You say that, but you're actually really bothered by it! Even if you get together with Yin Wenxi in the future, this will always be a thorn in your side..."
"I said I don't care, can't you understand human language!" Yin Ruohong shoved him away fiercely.
Jiang Mingyuan was slammed against the wall like a dog and then thrown down heavily.
Yin Ruohong stomped on his face, pressing down hard, and said, word by word:
"Jiang Mingyuan, Wenxi is innocent, you are the one who is dirty! The filthy things you've done only make me feel more sorry for her!"
"I won't just send you to meet the King of Hell like that; that would be too easy on you."
Yin Ruohong looked down at him, pulled out the last silver needle, and gave a cold smile.
"What...what are you going to do? Ah..."
The needle was deeply embedded in Jiang Mingyuan's head.
Not long after, he rolled his eyes twice and began convulsing on the ground, foaming at the mouth.
From then on, Jiang Mingyuan was a cripple; he could not move, but he remained conscious.
Every second, every nerve in his body ached. The pain wasn't intense, but it felt like worms burrowing into his bones, a persistent and unbearable ache.
The greatest punishment for a person is to spend the rest of their life in pain while fully conscious.
Yin Ruohong wiped her hands, a smile playing on her lips, gave him one last look, and quietly left.
...
The morning sunlight pierced through the ancient windows of the ancestral hall of the old house, illuminating the ancestral tablets and portraits on the walls of the Huo family.
A number of servants stood outside the door, all peering anxiously inside. Suddenly, a muffled thud was heard, and a figure collapsed. A commotion erupted outside as people rushed inside.
"The Second Master has fainted! The Second Master has fainted!"
"Go and inform Butler Cen immediately!"
Soon, Uncle Cen arrived with his men to handle the situation, and with a solemn expression, he explained the whole story to Huo Wenyuan.
It turned out that Huo Zhanhe had been kneeling in the ancestral hall for a day and a night without drinking a drop of water, and finally collapsed in the morning.
Huo Wenyuan frowned, tapping his dragon-headed cane lightly on the ground, a cold glint flashing in his deep eyes.
After a long silence, he got up and strode towards Huo Zhanhe's residence.
Huo Zhanhe was drinking chicken soup when he heard that the old man had arrived. He quickly told the servants to remove everything, then pulled the blanket up and leaned weakly against the headboard.
Are you feeling better?
"Oh, Dad, you're here..." Huo Zhanhe pretended to get up, but as soon as he stood up, he coughed violently.
Huo Wenyuan's expression was indifferent. "You're not young anymore. The ancestral hall is cold and gloomy. How can you kneel there all night?"
"Dad... I won't feel at ease unless I apologize to our ancestors there..." Huo Zhanhe began to wipe away his tears. "I... I really didn't expect Zhiyan to collude with Jiang Mingyuan this time!"
"Is that so!" Huo Wenyuan sneered. "I never imagined my son would do such a thing. Has the relationship between you two father and son deteriorated to this extent?"
"this……"
"Since your feelings for him are lukewarm, there's no need for you to waste your breath pleading for him!"
"..."
Huo Wenyuan glared at him, his voice sharp and fierce, his cane slamming loudly, "Do you really think I'm senile! You kneeling in the ancestral hall, putting on airs, are you truly remorseful, or are you just putting on an act for everyone to see?!"
