Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 534 - 535: Flogging Punishment
Chapter 534: Chapter 535: Flogging Punishment
He stood behind Chi Yu and Chi Zhan, listening to their conversation clearly.
He understood that it wasn’t that Chi Yu and Chi Zhan had forgotten to avoid prying eyes; they simply didn’t care.
They knew that even if they called the police, they wouldn’t be able to convict Shi Qianying based on a single video. It could even tarnish Chi Qing’s reputation, turning him into a topic of gossip.
Therefore, the Chi family would certainly not bring the matter into the open.
If they couldn’t deal with it openly, then they would deal with it secretly.
If Shi Qianying could harm Chi Qing without anyone realizing, then the Chi family could also kill Shi Qianying without leaving a trace.
By that time, the Shi family would face the same situation as the Chi family. So what if they knew that Shi Qianying was killed by the Chi family?
Without evidence, they couldn’t go to the police, so they could only seek revenge on the Chi family privately.
This cycle would continue on and on, confirming Chi Yu’s statement—no rest until death! ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
He sighed deeply in his heart and looked at Gu Junzhu, “Fifth Brother, this move to kill with a borrowed knife is beautifully executed.”
Gu Junzhu glanced at him with a half-smile, “Are you saying this for Chi Yu’s benefit? I’m using the tactic of killing with a borrowed knife, and you’re trying to sow discord?”
Ye Xinglan shook his head, “You’re overthinking, Fifth Brother.”
Gu Junzhu chuckled, then called out to Chi Yu, “Young Master of Chi family, Young Master Ye said my strategy of killing with a borrowed knife is skillfully done. What do you think?”
Chi Yu turned to look at him, “Fifth Master, since we are now partners, there’s no need to be so formal. If you don’t mind, you can call me A Yu in the future. It would be an honor for me to serve as your sword.”
“You’re a smart man,” Gu Junzhu looked at him with approval, “I like working with smart people, so I foresee that our future cooperation will be very pleasant.”
Chi Yu nodded, “Great minds think alike.”
Gu Junzhu smirked, then turned his attention to Ye Xinglan, patting his shoulder, “Xiao Lan, let me give you some earnest advice. The Thirty-Six Strategies are not suitable for someone like you without much brains. You might accidentally mess things up. You’re better off relying on your looks… although, even in that department, you’ll have to try a few more times before you can surpass me. Don’t even think about it in this lifetime. You can try hard in your next life.”
“…” Ye Xinglan, holding back his urge to explode, took a few deep breaths and turned to Ye Xingbei, “Beibei, when you have time, go home and visit my parents. They miss you and Xiao Shu a lot.”
Ye Xingbei nodded, but didn’t say anything.
Her uncle and aunt always thought she was Jiang Zhengxing’s daughter and were not very close to her.
The ones who treated her the best in the Ye family were Ye Xingli.
Thinking of the fifty lashes that Ye Xinglan had just promised Shi Shijun, Ye Xingbei had no desire to talk to Ye Xinglan at all.
The flogging in the country of Y was adopted from the country of X.
Fifty lashes were enough to beat someone to death.
Of course, when it’s actually time for the flogging, the executioner wouldn’t beat a person to death.
If after ten lashes the person nearly dies, they would be taken away by a doctor and treated. Once they were healed, the remaining lashes would be administered.
Fifty lashes, she would have to experience the brink of death several times to endure it all.
Ye Xinglan kept saying that she was his sister and that she meant a lot to him.
Yet he casually promised Shi Shijun fifty lashes.
Was it that he really had no way to resolve this matter, or had he become accustomed to seeing her bleed and get hurt, that no matter what condition she was flogged into, he wouldn’t feel pain anymore?

PS: The flogging punishment isn’t something Yunyun made up. The flogging in the country of X is indeed as described. If you’re interested, you can look it up. The keyword on Baidu is “flogging”.
