The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

Before leaving, Song Qianchen stretched out a long finger and moved Shi Rong's pink chin. Although she didn't laugh like usual, she didn't cry either.

Her small hand was tightly grasping the collar of Huo Jiuzhou's high-end business suit with dark gray stripes.

The eight-member deliberation was usually held in the giant conference hall on the 344th floor of the Ying family's Yunjie staircase.

Therefore, Huo Jiuzhou, holding Shi Rong in his arms, took the cable car up the mountain, accompanied by Miao Man, Huo Zun and others.

……

At the same time, in the Ying family conference room.

"Execution!"

Following Xu Liuyi's sonorous announcement, Shi Yang stood up from his deputy seat, under the complicated gaze of everyone.

He took a leisurely step with his long legs and walked to the round carpet room in the center of the conference hall and stood there.

He Xihe Dai stepped forward and helped him take off the black plaid haute couture suit he was wearing, leaving only a close-fitting white shirt.

Shen Lianxi, who was in charge of the punishment, took his position holding the rattan dragon whip.

Xu Liu read the execution order aloud, which read as follows:

“Now I am responsible for the family, the eldest son has the responsibility, and I tell all the families that they will not perish.

It is appropriate to give birth to his father Ce, but considering that he died early, the head of the Shen family will be punished on his behalf.

Execute crimes according to orders, whip with all your might, punish one as a warning to a hundred."

After the reading was completed, Xu Liu shouted.

"kneel!"

Shi Yang followed his instructions, bent his knees, slightly separated his legs, and knelt silently on the round carpet. He placed his hands on his legs and clenched them into fists to distract himself from the pain caused by the whipping.

Then he looked up and faced Feng Qingning, who was sitting in the main seat. He felt sorry for her and her eyes had turned red without her realizing it.

"Prepare!"

At a command, Shen Lianxi gathered all his strength and raised the dragon whip in his hand high.

"Ce!"

At another order, Shen Lianxi closed his eyes, and after hesitating and being indecisive, he finally had no choice but to go with the flow and deliver the first fierce whip.

"Um…"

The Vine Dragon Whip is extremely powerful and ready to explode at any moment.

Shi Yang groaned, his body shook violently, and a long, thick, crimson bloodstain appeared on his back.

Layers of sweat gathered due to the pain in his bones, covering the whole sky and flowing down along the well-defined lines of his face.

He finally realized how unbearable it was to be whipped like that before.

That little woman, how did she manage to hold on?

"oops…"

Xing Jiashan, who was allowed to sit next to the deputy seat, couldn't bear to look at it. He turned his head away, his brows furrowed with empathy.

This kind of punishment, where one whip leaves the skin torn and the flesh bloody, is so painful just to watch. By the time the remaining four whips are all taken, won't Yang be close to death?

If something happens to Shi Yang, it means that Shi Rong will also become sick with worry.

That won't do! He has to find a way...

Before he could think of an effective strategy, before Shen Lianxi's second whip fell.

A mournful cry reached everyone's eardrums before his.

Following the sound, they saw Shi Rong, neatly dressed, walking into the conference hall embraced by Huo Jiuzhou, followed by Chu Yu, Song Qianchen and Xie Yixiu.

Xing Jiashan was surprised and happy for a moment.

What’s surprising is that Shi Rong is not afraid of meeting outsiders?

The good news is that the savior has finally arrived!

"Yang'er!"

Feng Qingning took the lead and stood up to greet Shi Rong, who was crying, but she didn't even look at her because she had a clear goal.

Without even reaching Shi Yang, she hurriedly loosened Huo Jiuzhou's clothes and stubbornly stretched out a pair of small hands with skin as white as cream towards him.

"Ah Rong, be careful."

Huo Jiuzhou was startled and quickly used his arms to protect her leaning body, fearing that she would fall out of his arms.

"Xiao'er..."

When Shi Yang saw Shi Rong, he was happy at first, but then he looked at Huo Jiuzhou and the other three with blame.

"How could you bring her to a place like this? She's still sick."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yixiu smiled bitterly.

"She's been crying since you left, clamoring for her brother. Can we not bring her here? If she keeps crying like this, she'll be sick before you can get better."

Shi Yang looked at the little woman who was being held on the ground by Huo Jiuzhou, and his heart ached. He didn't wait for him to raise his hand to comfort her.

Shi Rong took the initiative to open her arms, hooked them around his fair and slender neck, and cried her heart out.

The heart-wrenching wails were like heavy hammers, striking their soft hearts.

At this point, when Shi Yang saw the Vine Dragon Whip in Shen Lianxi's hand and the bloody wound on Shi Yang's back, she finally let out a cry from the depths of her soul.

"Brother! Don't hit me...Brother! Don't hit me..."

That anxious voice was clear and ethereal, with lingering sweet tones.

Only then did they understand.

It turns out that the reason why Shi Rong was so stubborn and insisted on coming to Shi Yang was that she knew that her beloved brother was suffering inhuman torture in a place where she could not see.

She didn't want to see Shi Yang suffer, just as she had said before.

'No matter what she's going through, no matter how difficult her situation is, she will never give up on Shi Yang.'

The man realized this and unconsciously licked his dry lips. The corners of his mouth twitched and his eyes were red.

After hearing Shi Rong repeating these words over and over again, he could no longer hold it in.

He hugged Shi Rong's petite body with both hands, lowered his eyes, and buried his usually proud head deep in her delicate shoulders.

The crystal tears flowed like a kite with a broken string.

"Oh... this is really true."

This touching scene of brother and sister cherishing each other was enough to move the thoughts of everyone present.

They lowered their heads involuntarily, feeling sad.

I've heard for a long time that the brother and sister of the Ying family have a deep affection for each other.

Today, during Shi Yang's public execution, they had witnessed a worthwhile trip.

Elder A: "Ying Tai, I think... since the head of the family is ill, he is still concerned about the safety of the eldest son.

Even if it means risking everything, I will come to his side to protect him. So, let's just spare him the punishment of the Vine Dragon Whip."

Elder B: "Yes! The Patriarch came here for the eldest son.

How fortunate we are to witness with our own eyes such a heartwarming scene of love stronger than gold.

I have benefited greatly from this, and if I were to continue the execution, I am afraid it would not be satisfactory."

Elder C: "I agree. Cancel the eldest son's punishment of the Tenglong Whip. After all, this incident was not his fault."

If anyone has any objection to this, it will be considered disrespectful to the family rules.

I suggest that the remaining four lashes should be taken by the person who started it.

It's a bargain for her."

Elder D: "That's a good suggestion, I agree!"

Elder E: "That's really good! What do you think, Yingtai?"

Feng Qingning didn't want Shi Yang to pay for Sang Si Ning's mistakes.

If she hadn't considered the Ying family's inviolable family rules that had been established for many years, she would not have agreed to whip Shi Yang in public!

Now that she had a satisfactory opportunity, she was naturally happy to agree.

"Of course! Then let's follow the advice of the elders."

After saying this, he hurriedly looked at Shi Yang who was kneeling on the ground with a smile, and urged them repeatedly as if he was afraid that they would suddenly change their minds.
