After Li Wanwan exposed his true colors, Ji Yan seemed a little guilty, his face showing seven parts embarrassment and three parts defeat, but no trace of guilt or regret.
At first, he really didn't intend to let these thugs harm Ling Mo without any scruples.
But when he realized Ling Tian's hatred for Ling Mo, he made up his mind to personally push Ling Mo into an abyss of no return.
Benevolence and morality are certainly important.
But if he could win Ling Tian's heart, he would obediently do whatever she asked.
What exactly do you want?
After regulating his breathing, Ji Yan dragged his half-crippled arm and struggled to his feet along the wall.
Ling Mo crossed his arms, looking down at the hunched-over, weak Ji Yan, and gave a slight sneer:
"You'll have to ask yourself that. I was just reacting to whatever came my way; I didn't have a specific objective."
"Hey deskmate, prick him with a groin-pin! Prick him until he's paralyzed on one side and infertile!"
Li Wanwan had never seen such a hypocritical and shameless person as Ji Yan, and she was so angry that her eyes turned red and her head spun.
Ji Yan stared at the two people in front of him, who were singing in unison, and his back teeth ground together.
He originally planned to use his family's influence to deal with Ling Mo.
The tricky part was that Ling Mo had pre-recorded the entire process of him paying for a hitman by live streaming online.
This means that if Ling Mo gets into trouble, regardless of whether he was the one who did it, the police will consider him the prime suspect.
After careful consideration, he had no choice but to temporarily abandon his plan to deal with Ling Mo, and instead lowered his stance, pleading with her in a gentle and courteous manner:
"This whole thing started because of me, so please be lenient and let Ling Tian off the hook."
"You can barely take care of yourself, and you're still thinking about your white moonlight?"
Ji Yan frowned slightly, looking somewhat confused, and asked:
"What's the meaning?"
"Ignorant of the law?" Ling Mo looked speechlessly at Ji Yan, who looked completely bewildered, and patiently explained:
"The entire process of you hiring someone to commit assault has already been broadcast live online. At this point, trying to use your connections to suppress the escalating public opinion is nothing short of wishful thinking. I believe the police will soon find you, and it will be no problem for you to be locked up for two or three years."
"Who are you trying to fool?"
Ji Yan thought to himself that he was not yet eighteen years old, so at most he would only be locked up in a juvenile detention center for a few days.
Ling Mo guessed Ji Yan's thoughts and said calmly:
"Just a heads-up, hiring someone to commit assault is a criminal offense. Even if you're a minor, you can still get a suspended sentence according to the law."
Hearing Ling Mo say this, Ji Yan was completely dumbfounded.
The thought that his future might be ruined by this made him lose control of his emotions. He collapsed and squatted on the ground, hysterically howling.
"A law-abiding citizen, serves him right!"
Li Wanwan rolled her eyes at Ji Yan, then took Ling Mo's arm and walked out of the alley with light steps.
...
That night.
When Ling Mo returned to the Ling residence, it was already completely dark.
Gazing at the brightly lit living room from afar, she knew that a fierce battle awaited her in this vast Ling mansion.
Sure enough, as soon as she put on her slippers, Ling Yunlong stormed out of the living room, furious, and began to berate her:
"You scoundrel, you're getting more and more outrageous! How many times have I told you? If you want to stay in the Ling family, you'd better behave yourself. But you've completely ignored everything I say."
Have you said enough?
Ling Mo straightened his back and looked coldly at the furious Ling Yunlong.
As far as I can remember, he has always been like this.
They never asked how much she had suffered, they only knew how to scold her.
Seeing that Ling Mo still acted indifferently, Ling Yunlong raised his arm to hit her.
Seeing this, Ling Mo took a step back to the side, a mocking smile curving his sharply defined lips:
"You're such a grown man, can't you be more meticulous in your work? The reputational crisis at Shijian Group hasn't even subsided yet. If another scandal involving the group's chairman's domestic violence comes out, do you think Shijian Group will still have a chance to recover?"
"Stop giving me that nonsense! I'm asking you, why are you bullying Xiaotian?"
When did I bully her?
Ling Mo retorted coldly, his sharp eyes looking past Ling Yunlong's broad shoulders and down to Ling Tian, who was leaning against Su Yu with teary eyes.
Ling Tian felt a chill run down her spine when Ling Mo stared at her like that, and she shivered involuntarily.
She pouted, then hid behind Ling Yunlong, sobbing, "Dad, I'm scared."
Seeing Ling Tian pale and trembling with fear, Ling Yunlong glared at Ling Mo and said in an unfriendly tone:
"If you dare to lay a finger on Xiaotian again, I'll break both your legs today."
Ling Mo curled his lips into a smile and said teasingly:
"The younger one wants to use someone else to kill me and break my arm, while the older one can't distinguish right from wrong and wants to break my legs. They really are a den of snakes and rats, a loving family."
After saying that, she had originally planned to use her extraordinary fighting skills to deal with all the monsters and demons in the house, but then she suddenly remembered that she had opened a live broadcast room before entering the house. So she patiently and calmly watched the family's hard work.
"You did something wrong and still don't know how to repent. Today I'll beat you until you kneel down and beg for mercy."
Ling Yunlong, having run out of patience, turned and yelled at Wu Ma, "Go get the family discipline."
"Yes, sir."
Wu Ma fawned over him and, in the blink of an eye, presented Ling Yunlong with a whip as thick as a bowl.
Ling Mo glanced at the old-fashioned leather whip on the tray and recalled that evening when dark clouds loomed over the city and a torrential downpour began.
Seven years ago, Ling Tian accidentally fell down the stairs, and Ling Yunlong used this whip to lash her.
