Mr. Lu, Mr. Su is being coquettish again!

He looked at Lu Fang's tense face, which was taut with anger, and his fist raised high.

Without a doubt, the fist that was raised high would land on his face in the next second.

He was scared and somewhat at a loss. He knew Lu Fang would be angry, but he didn't expect Lu Fang to be so furious.

His fear made him instinctively want to back away, but Lu Fang grabbed him and wouldn't let him move.

"Speak!! I'm getting you to give me an explanation!" Lu Fang was trembling with anger. He couldn't imagine what he would do if he hadn't received the call or if something had happened on the way.

"I...I..." Su Nanqin opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

He just wanted to find Lu Fang, and he wasn't afraid of any danger.

He looked at Lu Fang's hands, which were trembling with anger, and his fist, which was about to fall.

Instinctively, I snapped my eyes shut and turned my face to one side.

He was actually more afraid of Lu Fang getting angry than of getting beaten up.

Lu Fang was even angrier to see him like this; he was always the same.

They act without considering the consequences, and then play the victim when they make a mistake.

"Speak! What the hell are you doing here? Huh?"

Lu Fang has a very bad temper. Once he gets angry, nothing can stop him. Everyone knows that.

Wei Chi watched in stunned silence; he had never seen his brother so furious before.

Everyone else present dared not utter a sound.

Just as the fist was about to smash down, Su Nanqin suddenly closed his eyes.

Dan Yu's brow twitched. His brother had such a fiery temper, and he was always criticizing him.

Wei Chi couldn't understand the relationship between the two, but Shan Yu had already guessed most of it after seeing Lu Fang's reaction, and now that they had met, he was even more certain.

The person in front of him was so beautiful that Shan Yu had a feeling that if his brother threw this punch, he would regret it later.

He took two steps forward without making a sound, watching as his brother actually did what he said he would do.

With quick reflexes, he rushed forward and intercepted Lu Fang's fist, a smile plastered on his face: "Hey, brother, calm down, calm down. It's raining, can't you talk things out when you get back? Why do you have to fight here?"

Shan Yu was actually afraid of his brother, but he couldn't let his brother beat him up today.

To put it bluntly, his brother is also impulsive.

Sure enough, Lu Fang tried to pull his arm away from Shan Yu's grasp, but Shan Yu bravely held on tight.

Lu Fang roared, "You fucking let go of me! Are you asking for a beating too?"

"No, no, bro. It's still raining. Sometimes we can talk things out when we get back. If you're really angry, you can call me back later." Shan Yu adopted a roundabout tactic.

Xiao Zhou watched from the side, his hands clenched tightly. Despite the heavy rain, his back was inexplicably sweating.

No one dares to hit President Su yet.

But the person in front of me was far too ruthless.

What Shan Yu said actually makes sense.

He never scolded his wife in public.

Lu Fang endured it for a long time, then looked at Shan Yu and said, "Let me go!"

Dan Yu was afraid his brother wouldn't give up: "Brother."

"Let go!" Lu Fang's tone left no room for argument.

Dan Yu awkwardly let go.

Lu Fang's bulging veins hadn't subsided yet. After enduring it for a while, he finally released Su Nanqin, gritting his teeth and pointing at him fiercely: "Go back and see how I deal with you!!"

Su Nanqin staggered backward due to inertia, and when she looked up, she met Lu Fang's fierce eyes.

He was overwhelmed by inexplicable fear and resentment, but he dared not cry.

He did sneak off today, but he didn't expect to cause Lu Fang any trouble...

Seeing that Lu Fang was not making any further moves, the hearts of everyone present, which had been hanging in suspense, finally eased a little.

They all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Fang looked exactly like a gangster boss, ruthless and reckless in his actions.

When he rushed up, everyone present thought Su Nanqin was going to get a beating.

Even Wei Chi thought it was because no one could stop his brother.

Thinking this, he unconsciously glanced at Shan Yu; that guy didn't seem so unreliable after all...

Su Nanqin seemed frightened, and just stood there blankly with his head down, not daring to look at Lu Fang.

They dared not move or speak.

She was covered in dirt and had just been crying, but her little face looked rather innocent against the backdrop of her beige sweatshirt, making her appear rather pitiful.

Even Xiao Zhou, watching from the side, felt his heart tighten.

The main reason is that Su Nanqin has a very pitiful appearance, and this pitiful look makes it even more so.

Those present were also somewhat unable to bear watching, but Lu Fang was too fierce and ruthless, and even Wei Chi had to be careful when trying to mediate.

Not to mention, at this point, who would dare to say a word of advice or offer a few words of comfort?

The atmosphere was somewhat tense; Lu Fang was still angry, while Su Nanqin was at a loss.

The others dared not utter a sound.

Shan Yu was quick-witted. Fearing that his brother might still be unable to resist, he quickly added, "Brother, it's too dangerous here. Let's go back and talk behind closed doors."

Lu Fang glanced at him, then gave a cold look to Su Nanqin, who was standing with his head down in front of him.

They didn't say anything.

It means they agree to go back and discuss it further.

The way back was much more difficult than the way there; the rain had made it even muddier, and every step required extreme caution.

The path was so narrow that only one person could pass at a time, and the guide and Xiao Zhou were scouting ahead.

Wei Chi and Shan Yu walked in the middle.

Lu Fang and Su Nanqin brought up the rear to cover the retreat.

As they passed a very narrow cliff, Lu Fang glanced at the two people walking quickly ahead and couldn't help but warn them, "Shan Yu, protect that kid Wei Chi. Be careful, or I'll beat you to death if anything happens to you."

Wei Chi was the youngest among them, and he was someone Lu Fang had personally taken care of, so Lu Fang couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Dan Yu was overjoyed; his chance had come. He waved from a distance and replied, "Alright, alright, brother! I promise I'll protect this silly boy well. Not a single hair will be missing."

Wei Chi was walking ahead when he heard this and turned around to glare at him.

Completely oblivious, Shan Yu grinned at him cheekily, "Come on, give me your hand."

Wei Chi looked at him, puzzled.

Dan Yu gestured with his hand still hovering in the air: "Hurry up, didn't you hear your brother tell me to protect you? Now you're so bold that you don't even listen to your brother?"

"I don't need it." Wei Chi glanced at the other person's hands hanging in the air, but didn't reach for them, his tone cold.

"You brat deserve a beating!" Shan Yu ignored him, grabbed the other's hand and led him forward.

Wei Chi: !!!

"Let me go!"

"I won't let go..." Shan Yu was a cunning and manipulative person.

Su Nanqin walked quietly the whole way, without making a fuss.

He knew Lu Fang was very angry, and he hadn't really settled the score with him yet.

She didn't even dare to mention wanting the other person to hold her hand.

But when he heard Lu Fang instruct Shan Yu to protect Wei Chi, his eyes flickered.

She quickly lowered her head in sadness again, her eyes unconsciously glancing towards Wei Chi's direction ahead.

The little boy was very clean-looking and seemed very obedient.

Lu Fang must really like her...

He gets angry at himself, but specifically tells others to protect him...

The path underfoot is really narrow and steep; one moment of distraction and you could fall.

Although Lu Fang did not hold the other's hand, he walked half a step behind the other, his attention focused on the two steps Su Nanqin took.

Su Nanqin was indeed distracted, and he stumbled and almost fell over.

Fortunately, Lu Fang hadn't dared to relax his watch for a moment, and upon seeing this, he quickly grabbed the other person.

My heart skipped a beat.

He turned the person around and shouted sternly, "Can't you even walk properly?"

Su Nanqin's attention was completely elsewhere; all he could see was how gently Lu Fang treated that boy.

When Lu Fang glared at him, he sadly lowered his eyelashes, looking very forlorn.

Lu Fang didn't let go again, and instead of staring at the person, he took their hand and led them forward.

The road was too narrow for two people to walk side by side.

Su Nanqin walked behind Lu Fang with her head down, her gaze falling on the hand Lu Fang was holding.

Lu Fang's hands are large and gentle, giving people a great sense of security at all times.

It's like having Lu Fang around means you don't have to worry about anything.

Su Nanqin knew the other party was very angry, so she lowered her head and dared not speak, letting Lu Fang lead her away.

Despite being soaked and cold all over, Lu Fang's hand felt burning hot in his grasp.

Su Nanqin walked behind with her head down, enveloped in a complex mix of emotions.

He knew he had caused trouble for Lu Fang, but he just didn't want Lu Fang to care about any other boys besides him.

That's why he wanted to come along.

The way back was difficult, and considering that Su Nanqin might never have walked on such a mountain path before, we actually walked very slowly.

The return trip took about two or three hours.

Su Nanqin was led by Lu Fang the whole way, and he went wherever Lu Fang led him.

She was actually very well-behaved the whole way.

Lu Fang led the person away expressionlessly, his face grim the entire time.

Even Wei Chi and the others consciously kept their distance from him, afraid of getting into trouble.

Lu Fang had actually seen Su Nanqin's reaction.

Su Nanqin is like that; he always has a sense of having made a mistake.

They consciously kept quiet and behaved themselves unusually well, trying to get away with it.

Before causing trouble, they quietly accomplish great things; once they've caused trouble, they remain silent like a child who has made a mistake.

This is what angers Lu Fang the most; he never knows what reckless things Su Nanqin might do behind his back.

As they passed a bamboo grove, Lu Fang called over Wei Chi and, still expressionless, ordered, "Go and break off a bamboo strip, a smooth one."

Wei Chi paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and glanced at Su Nanqin.

Su Nanqin's expression was innocent, but his gaze was fixed on Wei Chi, frank and undisguised.

Wei Chi felt a chill run down his spine for a moment when he was looked at by that gaze.

He hesitated, "Brother...this..."

Lu Fang looked at him and commanded in an unquestionable manner, "Go."

Wei Chi didn't dare look at Su Nanqin; he never dared to disobey his brother.

Shan Yu was quick-witted and was afraid that Wei Chi, that silly boy, would really go and silently break off a big, thick one and come back.

Lu Fang acts impulsively in his anger and doesn't know his own strength. If he were to actually fight, all the persuasion he had done would have been for nothing.

He still remembers the time he got into trouble and was almost knocked unconscious by Lu Fang with a broom handle.

Seeing this, he quickly said, "I'll go with him. In this heavy rain, the little kid might get lost."

As Shan Yu spoke, he looked at Wei Chi and smiled, his words full of teasing.

Little brat.

Wei Chimei's brow twitched, but he didn't dare to argue with his brother.

Lu Fang did not refute.

Wei Chi and Shan Yu went off excitedly, while the others waited where they were.

Xiao Zhou was genuinely worried for Su Nanqin, and also for Lu Fang.

There were almost no one who dared to openly intend to teach Su Nanqin a lesson; Lu Fang was the first.

Su Nanqin, being led by Lu Fang, hung his head and didn't say a word.

When Wei Chi and Shan Yu returned, they had a thin bamboo stick in their hands.

These bamboo strips are made from bamboo vines; don't be fooled by their thinness.

But it really hurts when you hit someone with bamboo. Bamboo is very tough, and the thinner it is, the more it hurts. The only advantage is that it won't damage your bones or muscles.

When Shan Yu was in school, he ate a lot of this kind of bamboo shoot stir-fried with meat. Almost every homeroom teacher and the head of the political education department had one.

Even now, Shan Yu still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it.

He glanced at Su Nanqin, who was standing silently with her head down, and thought to himself: Good sister-in-law, this is all I can do to help you.

It's a good thing that Wei Chi, that simpleton, didn't take a thick one.

Su Nanqin's gaze fell on the bamboo rattan in Wei Chi's hand.

Her eyelashes trembled involuntarily, and her body trembled slightly as well.

Lu Fang noticed this and assumed that Su Nanqin was afraid of being beaten.

But he just wanted to scare this reckless guy.

If anything unexpected had happened today, he might not have been able to bring the person back safely.

Su Nanqin is too crazy. He acts recklessly and without regard for the consequences. How could Lu Fang not be angry?

Su Nanqin was indeed afraid, but compared to being afraid of Lu Fangzhen disciplining him, he was being enveloped by a deeper fear.

Bamboo and rattan...

Whips... it seems my father used them all...

The whip lashed across the sky, and when it fell, it tore open a bloody wound...

Su Nanqin shifted his gaze, fear making him instinctively afraid to look any longer, for even a single glance would involuntarily bring to mind those horrifying scenes.

Lu Fang noticed it, but he just assumed that the other person was afraid of being scolded by him.

His face remained calm; Su Nanqin had really gone too far this time.

Zhou Ke knew he shouldn't have let Su Nanqin in; Lu Fang and his group hadn't even returned yet, but they were already waiting anxiously at the intersection.

He was afraid that if something went wrong, he wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.

As soon as Lu Fang arrived, he went up to him and asked, "Mr. Lu, is he alright? I'll arrange for medical personnel right away."

Lu Fang was too angry to pay attention to the other person, and his tone was urgent: "It's okay. It's not necessary for now."

After giving a few more brief instructions, he dragged Su Nanqin back to the hotel.

They walked quickly back to the hotel, with Su Nanqin being pulled along by one hand.

His gaze kept falling on the bamboo vine in Lu Fang's hand, then on Lu Fang's composed face.

I felt an unprecedented sense of unease.

He suddenly didn't want to go any further, nor did he dare to go any further.

He was afraid of Lu Fang yelling at him, but even more afraid of facing Lu Fang's wrath...

His feet seemed rooted to the spot; he suddenly couldn't move. He stopped, head bowed with a touch of stubbornness: "I was wrong..."

The voice was so soft it sounded like it was being squeezed out of the throat, and it was hard to hear clearly.

But Lu Fang still heard it and turned around to look at him.

Lu Fang didn't want to see him like this. He was always the quickest to admit his mistakes, but he was quick to do ruthless things.

With a stern face, he pulled the other person forward.

Su Nanqin was very stubborn and didn't move.

Actually, he was afraid and instinctively tried to escape.

Lu Fang's face darkened further as he looked down at Su Nanqin, who was only half a meter away from him.

He was clearly stubborn, but his expression was aggrieved, and he was covered in dirt, giving the impression that Lu Fang had bullied him.

Lu Fang hasn't done anything to him yet.

It was supposed to be a heart-wrenching scene, but Lu Fang got even angrier when he thought about how the other party had secretly conspired with Lin Yi to pull this stunt on him.

Lu Fang had been holding in this anger all day, and it hadn't subsided since he learned that Su Nanqin was coming. Now that his temper was flaring up, he couldn't hold back anymore.

"Are you leaving or not?" Lu Fang asked him, his eyes lowered, but his tone was threatening.

Su Nanqin kept his head down and didn't move.

"Su Nanqin! I've been putting up with you for ages! Don't give me that pitiful look! If you stand up for yourself again, I'll make sure you get a beating right there in the street!"
