Shot (4)

oo."Susan, get this lady a glass of water!"Susan, as a perfect secretary, immediately regained her composure and smiled, going to pour water for Lin Meng.Rong Ling looked at Lin Meng, who was standing...Everyone looked at her like she was crazy. No one moved, not even Rong Ling who was being pointed at with a gun!

Du Caiyi expected Rong Ling to appear with a pained expression, perhaps even blood splattering. However, it never came. She frantically pulled the trigger again and again, like a madman. The gunshots echoed loudly, but nothing happened. Everyone still stared at Du Caiyi as if she were insane.

Du Caiyi's smile froze on her face. The contorted features of her face became even more twisted. She gripped the gun in her hand incredulously, stiffly twisting her neck, lowering her head little by little, then staring at the black gun as if it were a monster.

She pressed the trigger again, unconvinced. The gun made a dull thud, but that was all.

Cold sweat slid down her forehead!

Her head started hurting violently.

She began to pant heavily, but with each breath, she felt only a chill!

There are no bullets in the gun!

Everyone knows, except her!

So the gun just stayed there, nobody took it seriously. What threat could an unloaded gun pose There was no need to take it seriously. When Rong Ling showed everyone the gun, the situation became clear. It was a gun originally intended to kill him, but in the end, it had ended up in his hands. The gun was empty, but it served as evidence. This was exactly the gun the killer in the video was going to use.

They all knew, except for Du Caiyi. But they didn't know either, that Du Caiyi would be so crazy. After she had just done that thing, after they had shown her such leniency by only putting her away and even allowing her to see anyone she wanted before leaving, she could still have such terrifying thoughts!

Rong Ling, you make me want to die!

Then she really knows how to speak her mind!

That insane grin, that hideous face, further proved Rong Ling's words. A person like Du Caiyi would definitely never give up on her evil intentions and would definitely make trouble again! She was humiliated beyond measure. She practically put her shame into practice right after the other person finished speaking, before even stepping out the door!

As the husband of Du Caoyi, Rong Fei felt too ashamed. Du Caoyi's two elder brothers also felt shame, but beyond that, they were more enraged. They thought to themselves, in the final moments, this sister would once again pit their family's descendants against each other. This heart was too poisonous, too cruel. Their previous decision to "stand by and watch" had been absolutely correct, and now, they didn't want to be involved in anything anymore.

"This man, you handle him. We'll leave first!"

Du Caiyi's older brother was the first to express his opinion. He feared that if they stayed any longer, the friendship between the Du and Rong families would be ruined by his younger sister.

Feng Fei Wu stiffly nodded, then turned to look at Rong Si and the others.

Rong nodded four times, his face sullen. "Alright, you go first. We'll notify the Du family about the final result!"

This notification is for the Du family, not you. This already hints at the distance between Rong's family and the Du family. Because if it were a personal notification, the matter would be small, and there would still be room to negotiate changes. But notifying the entire family means there is basically no room for change, and they won't lose any face.

Du Caiyi's elder brother understood what was in his heart, but he could only nod and pulled his younger son out. His second brother naturally hurried to follow.

Du Caiyi finally came to her senses and roared, "Don't leave, don't leave!"

She ran over to grab her older brother, but was pushed away ruthlessly.

"Rong Si shouted, and two men rushed in immediately and held Du Caiyi down."

"Big brother, you can't leave, I'm your sister, you can't ignore me, you can't leave, big brother, don't leave..."

She cried and screamed. With her family watching, Rongjia wouldn't dare to go too far. But once her family left, Rongjia on this side might be ruthless against her.

At this point, Rong Si even had people find something to stuff her mouth with, probably finding her too loud. Du Caiyi was about to go crazy, glared viciously at Rong Si and the others, screaming incoherently, looking utterly insane.

"You are all set up, I know, you are all set up! You want to harm me, harm me! I'm going to call the police, I'm going to call the police..."

She extended her slender finger, sharply pointing at Rong Si and the others. The words that came out of her mouth had completely lost their logic. "Call the police"! She really dared to say that!

He couldn't stand to wait any longer, so he ordered his men to find Du Caoyi and silence her. Instead of waiting, he grabbed a pair of white gloves from his pocket and threw them at his subordinates.

For his line of work, carrying a pair of clean gloves is already a habit!

"Blocked!" he commanded in a low voice.

With a deft hand, he snatched the glove and stuffed it into Du Caiyi's mouth, instantly silencing her frenzied screams. With her cries gone, the world fell silent.

"Her punishment must be increased!" Rong Si said without any hesitation.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

He then turned his gaze to Rong Ling, silently asking.

Rong Ling didn't speak, and his expression showed that he didn't want to say much. This not only relieved Rong Si but also everyone else. After all, what Rong Ling had just said was still hot off the press—he said if Du Cai Yi had another outburst, he would send her to a mental asylum. But this kind person couldn't really be sent to a mental asylum, could she These people wouldn't actually do that. How has Du Cai Yi been getting along with these people for decades

"Lao Wu, speak up, what are your thoughts!"

Rong Feiwu lowered his eyes. "I hear you!"

This means, it's also a sign of giving up!

They looked at each other and after a while of discussion, they made a decision—to beat Du Caiyi up and then send her away immediately. The previous decision to let her see some people before leaving was canceled. This time, no one else would be allowed to see Du Caiyi!

Du Caiyi's natural anger and resentment welled up, she cried out in pain, but her mouth was stuffed with something, and her body was pressed down tightly. Her cries couldn't make much noise at all.

"Rong Ling, how are you" Rong Si inquired of Rong Ling.

He merely sneered, remaining silent as before.

A flicker of embarrassment crossed Rong Si's face. He knew the decision made by everyone else wouldn't satisfy Rong Ling, but towards Du Caiyi, he could only do this much. He couldn't really send her to an insane asylum, after all. If it got out, it would also be bad publicity. Rong Ling was dissatisfied, but he didn't voice any objections or questions, indicating that this decision was still within his tolerance range. Then let's just do this. Quickly and efficiently deal with Du Caiyi, and bring this matter to a swift end.

Being beaten in public is humiliation!

The whip lashed out at Du Caiyi with no hesitation. The air crackled with the force of each strike, and blood soon welled up where the whip connected. With a few more blows, her clothes were torn to shreds, revealing bloodied skin underneath. And then, several more lashes tore into her flesh, leaving it raw and throbbing.

Du Caiyi roared in a muffled voice, occasionally twitching and convulsing, drenched in sweat, her whole body soaked, most of her back covered in blood!

After twenty lashes, Du Caiyi felt like she had lost half her life. Her face was as pale as death, her eyes dim and lifeless, and her wet hair stuck to her face.

The executioner informed Rong Si that the twenty lashes were complete. Seeing Rong Si nod, he stepped aside. Rong Si turned to look at Rong Ling, hoping this outcome would satisfy him somewhat, but Rong Ling's expression remained as cold and distant as ever.

He sighed inwardly and gave his orders.

"Take her away!"

"Slow!" Rong Ling shouted.

Rong Si's heart tightened. Could it be that they had finished the execution here, and Rong Ling was about to force Du Caiyi into the lunatic asylum

He became worried, and so did the others. Their faces betrayed a hint of discontent.

Rong Ling looked on coldly and said, "I gave that assassin 20 million. This money, Du Caiyi gets back!"

Du Caiyi, publicly flogged, felt deeply humiliated. After the punishment, she feigned death on the spot to avoid further humiliation. However, when Rong Ling demanded 20 million yuan in compensation, she couldn't bear it any longer. She suddenly raised her head and glared fiercely at Rong Ling.

He's sucking her blood!

Time and time again, Rong Ling came here, sucking her blood how many times Most of her assets were drained by this Rong Ling!

He is so shameless!

No matter how much Du Caiyi seethed with resentment and hatred, even if millions of wild horses galloped in her heart, her mouth was gagged, unable to speak; her body was whipped until she had little strength left, unable to move. Now, she could only be compared to a fish on a chopping board, and one that was already quite lifeless. Besides being slaughtered, there was no other path for her.

It's reasonable to make this request. The twenty million yuan was given out because of Du Caiyi, so it's right for Du Caiyi to compensate. When Rong Si and the others looked at Rong Feiwu, Rong Feiwu made a gesture on behalf of Du Caiyi.

"Don't worry, these twenty million will definitely be paid back!"

Du Caiyi gasped, her breath catching in her throat as if she'd almost coughed up blood. She didn't have much money to begin with, and now with this compensation of 20 million, how much would she even have left

He didn't take it well. That money was what Rong Ling herself wanted to give the killer, why should she have to pay it back She had already accepted such punishment! To ask her to pay back the money again is unfair!

She shook her head vigorously, indicating her unwillingness.

But no one really cared what she was thinking.

Take them away!

Rong Ling glanced at her coldly. As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Si's two men immediately dragged her out like they were carrying a sack of potatoes. All she could leave the crowd with was a back covered in whip scars and bloodstains, so painful that she couldn't even walk and could only be dragged away with a pathetic figure! Such a weak and helpless exit, where is there even a trace of pride!

This is the path that Du Caoyi, who has always been proud, chose for herself, the fruit she planted. She exited the stage of history of the Rong family in this way!

At this point, when everyone thought the matter of today would just end here, Rong Ling also announced his withdrawal!

Lin Meng dreamed of having a strong force to protect her family. For Lin Meng, Rong Ling originally planned to stay as the head of the household for another three years so he could protect his little wife and her reform path. But after seeing what happened just now, he changed his mind.

It's not that Du Caiyi's ending wasn't satisfactory, it's that such an ending was deeply felt. The result wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. However, the public's attitude is problematic.

Although he said those words, he wouldn't drive Du Caiyi to a lunatic asylum with cruelty. After all, Du Caiyi wasn't an ordinary person; she still had some influence in certain aspects. Even for his own family, he wouldn't do things to that extent. But when Du Caiyi finally pointed a gun at him, and during that time when he didn't even bother to take her seriously, everyone avoided mentioning "sending her to a lunatic asylum." That's the problem with their attitude!

They can choose not to do it, but they should suggest it!

He is the head of the family. He had resigned once before, but was later invited back. Before and after, he has made such great contributions to the Rong family. At that time, they should have considered him. They may not want to, but they should take his words seriously, respect him, and at least discuss things with him!

But they didn't!

That's their attitude: to avoid the topic!

Compared to before, they have made some changes. The punishment given to Du Caiyi in the end also showed their favoritism towards him, but their changes are still not enough!

People of different paths don't conspire!

This homeowner, he doesn't want this position!

For three years, he could start a new business with like-minded brothers. Needless to say, they would understand each other perfectly, working smoothly and happily together. There would be no need to explain or persuade those old friends, nor would he have to hold back his frustration – that would be too much effort, unnecessary!

And he also needs to take a good look at how they will treat his wife after he relinquishes the position of head of the family! If they only see his wife as a tool to bind him, then this position of great aunt is completely unnecessary. That would be an insult to his wife!

"The day after tomorrow, I will announce my resignation as the acting head of the family and acting CEO at the board meeting!"

"What" several people couldn't help but exclaim, looking at Rong Ling in astonishment.

Rong Qi was a bit anxious. “Rong Ling, why say such things out of the blue!”

Lin Meng is willing to accept the position of great-aunt, so this matter of being the head of the family would be settled. With Rong Ling's temperament, how could she rest assured letting Lin Meng stay alone in the clan

Rong Qi didn't understand.

Rong Si was a little flustered and quickly advised, "Rong Ling, are you because of Du Caiyi that..."

He furrowed his brows and explained earnestly, "With Du Caiyi's status, we really can't send her to a lunatic asylum. The repercussions would be terrible, Rong Ling, you have to understand!"

"Yeah, yeah!" the others chimed in quickly.

But it's too late for this! It shouldn't be him forcing them to say this, making this explanation. They owe it to themselves to be proactive! And being proactive is about sincerity and true intention!

On the matter of Du Caiyi, Rong Ling didn't want to say another word.

"As I said at the board meeting before, once the head of the family resigns, there will be no turning back. But then I came back, first because I couldn't bear to let my uncle down, and second because I couldn't bear to see the Rong family fall into disarray. After all, I served as the head of the family for almost ten years and have some affection for this family. But what's said is said, water spilled cannot be gathered. A person without integrity cannot stand. Now that the Rong family has weathered the crisis, I can no longer serve as acting head of the family. Let me tell you all this so you have an idea in your minds and quickly choose a suitable person to take over this position. After the board meeting the day after tomorrow, I will formally hand over all my duties, and from then on, I will have nothing to do with the Rong family!"

Everyone was stumped!
