"Father, why are you here?!" Xiao Linran's face was full of panic.
Xiao Zhengyan glanced at him, then at the disheveled woman by the door.
The slightly messy room still had a lingering, stale smell.
It's obvious at a glance that Xiao Linran was up to no good in the room!
"Father, what brings you here? Is there something you need?" Xiao Linran quickly pretended to be nonchalant.
After everyone had left, Xiao Linran rushed up again to catch up on his acting.
"Don't you know why I'm looking for you?" Xiao Linran sneered.
"I don't know!" Xiao Linran shook his head innocently.
"Kneel down! Kneel down!" Xiao Zheng said sternly. He was always a strict father, and Xiao had never been his favorite child.
Xiao Linran knelt on the ground, at a loss for what to do.
Xiao Zhengyan then brought out a stool from the room and sat directly opposite him, as if interrogating a criminal.
"Xiao Linran, I'm asking you! Did you send someone to H country?" Xiao Zhengyan's eyes were like two sharp blades, piercing straight into Xiao Linran, as if trying to see through his soul, as he asked coldly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Linran's expression changed, becoming extremely unpleasant.
How did the old man know about this? Did someone inform on him?
"I didn't! Father, who told you that? They're framing me!" Xiao Linran quickly protested.
"I'll give you one more chance! Answer me seriously again, is it yes or no!"
Xiao Linran hesitated for a moment. He had kept his hands clean this time. Even if his father wanted to investigate, he couldn't find out so quickly, could he?
He won't admit it, he can't admit it!
"No! Father, someone has wronged me! You can't believe slander!" Xiao Linran said with a wronged expression, as if he were truly innocent.
"Good! Good! Good!" Xiao Zhengyan said "good" three times in a row, then turned his back.
"Father! That!" His legs were almost numb from kneeling. When would he be allowed to stand up?
Xiao Zhengyan turned around, his eyes calm and unwavering, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"Father, this is a misunderstanding!" Xiao Linran felt a chill in his heart, a sense of foreboding, and he quickly continued to explain.
"Slap!" Xiao Linran felt a numbness on his face, followed by a burning pain.
"Father!"
"Slap! Slap!" Two more slaps.
"I..." Xiao Linran wanted to beg for mercy.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!" Three slaps.
Xiao Zhengyan rubbed his wrist and then walked to the door.
Just when Xiao Linran thought he was about to escape a calamity.
"Old Gao, bring me the family discipline manual!" It's been years since I've used this much force; my wrist hurts a bit.
