Tang Zhengguo's expression softened a lot. Tang Baozhu tried harder and continued,

"Dad, look, the indenture says that Su Xiaohe is Su Zhisheng's sister, but she was used as a stake. This shows how miserable Su Xiaohe's life was. What my brother did was an act of kindness. He was already whipped. Dad, because he is kind and helpful, let it go. Otherwise, I will have to be punished together."

After hearing this, Tang Zhengguo half-believed and half-doubtedly retracted the whip and stared at Tang Baojun.

"You really don't want to go to the dance hall?"

Tang Baojun looked at Tang Baozhu in surprise, his eyes flashing.

"No."

Tang Zhengguo moved his lips but didn't say anything.

Gong Jinling quickly pulled Tang Baojun up.

"Although you made a mistake, it's understandable. It proves that our Baojun was kind-hearted. The punishment has been done. Forget it. Let me take a look at your shoulders."

The whip wound was severe, with skin and flesh torn. Gong Jinling quickly asked Tang Baojun to sit down while she went to find the medicine box.

The atmosphere calmed down, and Tang Baozhu stood up and walked to Song Shaoguang.

"Brother, I have a question. My younger brother has exposed the cheating in the dance hall. Shouldn't it be a mess at this time? Why is the dance hall still in the mood to send the indenture contract?"

Thinking of this, Tang Baojun was also a little confused. He immediately understood what his elder sister meant and glared at Song Shaoguang fiercely.

"Hey, with Su Zhisheng's sinister personality, shouldn't he come after me to settle the score? And why did he give me the indenture with good intentions? And it just happened to be delivered to my brother?"

Several pairs of eyes were staring at Song Shaoguang.

Song Shaoguang was sweating profusely, and it took him a long time to think of what to say.

"Maybe he wants to gain some reputation. The news that the dance hall was smashed and Su Zhisheng cheated has long been widely spread. If he loses and refuses to admit it, wouldn't that make people despise him even more? The dance hall's business will not be able to continue. Maybe he wants to restore some of his reputation."

Tang Baozhu chuckled.

"Brother, your words are so unconvincing."

Tang Zhengguo's eyes deepened. Baozhu's hostility was not without reason. So many things had happened in the past two days, and Song Shaoguang was increasingly involved.

It seems that his adopted son really has other thoughts. He can beat and scold his own children at will, but it is different for adopted ones. Being too good or too bad will cause rebellious psychology.

Tang Baojun was whipped and grimaced in pain.

"Song Shaoguang, don't let me know that you are the one behind this, or I will pay you back a hundredfold."

Song Shaoguang looked at Tang Zhengguo without showing any expression.

"Dad, do you think it's me too? How come I become the one who can't escape the blame just because my second sister and third brother say a few words? Is it because I'm an outsider? Or is it because the Tang family simply can't tolerate an outsider like me? I have worked diligently in the factory for so many years, am I really worthless? If Dad doesn't trust me, I can leave the Tang family."

Song Shaoguang's words were so sincere that Tang Zhengguo suddenly felt sorry for him.

Song Shaoguang has never done anything wrong since he was a child. He is just a bit sensitive. He has been very responsible in the factory for many years, and everyone can see it.

"Okay, stop talking. Shaoguang is a good boy and would never do such a thing. Tang Baojun, you are a second-generation rich kid and everyone knows what kind of personality you have. Could it be that Shaoguang forced you to go to the dance hall to gamble? Don't put all the blame on your elder brother."

Tang Baojun stared, unable to refute.

Song Shaoguang then smiled in relief.

"Thank you for trusting me, Dad."

Gong Jinling helped Tang Baojun apply some medicine and told him not to take a bath tonight.

Tang Baozhu then volunteered to take Tang Baojun back to his room, teasing him as they walked.

"Tang Baojun, have you been suffering from Mercury retrograde recently? Your shoulder got hurt right after your foot injury healed. Find some time to go to Pudu Temple to pray."

Tang Baojun frowned.

"Sister, please stop making sarcastic remarks."

As he spoke, Tang Baojun secretly glanced at Tang Baozhu's expression and whispered,

"But I still have to thank you for helping me, Sister."

Tang Baozhu looked at him coldly.

"Why do you go to the dance hall to hang out?"

Tang Baojun laughed dryly twice.

"That's because you didn't take me out. I was just bored, and I happened to hear that the dance hall was opening, so I went over to join in the fun. Who knew I would encounter such a terrible thing."

"You, I'm super busy right now and I don't have the mood to care about you. Be careful and don't fall into someone's trap."

Tang Baojun glanced downstairs, looking cunning.

"Are you talking about Song Shaoguang? This guy has always had bad intentions. Sister, you finally got it. Don't worry, his tricks are useless to me."

"You still say it's useless, where did this whip come from?"

"That's because I went to the dance hall, and I can't argue with it,"

"I know, but why don't you pay more attention?"

"Oh, I have my elder sister here, so I can always turn danger into safety."

Seeing Tang Baojun's shameless look, Tang Baozhu was completely speechless.

"Rest early and don't touch the wound. I'm going to sleep too. I have a lot to do tomorrow morning."

Tang Baojun stopped her.

"Sister, just tell me what you are busy with, maybe I can help."

"I want to find someone to treat Song Xiaohua. Can you help? You're not a doctor, so why are you interfering?"

Tang Baojun spoke angrily,

"Sister, you just don't trust me. I know you're punishing Song Xiaohua to prove Wang Hongyan's guilt and prevent murderers like Wang Hongyan from going unpunished. I can help you with this matter, as I have a wide network of contacts in Suhe Town."

Tang Baozhu looked at him, and suddenly an idea popped up in her mind.

"Go in and talk."

Tang Baozhu pushed him into the room and closed the door. Seeing Tang Baojun turn on the wall lamp, Tang Baozhu looked into his eyes.

"Do you want to drag Song Shaoguang into this?"

Tang Baojun nodded, then shook his head.

"Sister, what do you mean by being so mysterious?"

"I suspect Wang Hongyan is Song Shaoguang's man, but I have no evidence,"

Tang Baojun was so surprised that he was speechless.

If Wang Hongyan is really Song Shaoguang's woman, then Song Shaoguang is not only daring but also cruel and heartless. He has disliked Song Shaoguang for a long time, but he didn't expect him to be so wicked. This bastard hurt his sister terribly. Fortunately, his sister was smart and clever and was able to escape danger.

He clenched his fists and was about to go out and beat Song Shaoguang.

"This double-faced bastard has a very evil mind. I'm going to kill him."

Tang Baozhu held him back.

"I told you not to be impulsive. There is no benefit in confronting them head-on. You have to outsmart them."

Tang Baojun calmed down his anger, his eyes sparkling.

"So, sis, what do you think?"

Tang Baozhu nodded.

"Song Shaoguang wanted to protect Wang Hongyan at this time, mainly because he was afraid that Wang Hongyan would betray him after being arrested, so I tried to treat Song Xiaohua, but Song Shaoguang cut off all my escape routes. I have been running around all day today, and all the doctors in Suhe Town have been bribed by Song Shaoguang."
