Kowtow

Gu Qingqing, clutching the front of her gown with one hand, humbly knelt on the ground. Meeting Gu Panpan's intense gaze, she performed a kowtow before her late uncle's resting place. Although her head didn't make contact with the ground, it was clear that she was making the gesture.

"Sister Panpan, can I leave now?" she inquired, her voice hesitant.

Gu Panpan responded sternly, "You haven't confessed to your wrongdoings yet!"

While Gu Qingqing harbored reservations, she recognized that she was no match for them alone. She yielded temporarily, saying, "I shouldn't have defiled Uncle's tombstone, let alone bringing bodyguards to intimidate you… Sister Panpan, you've already given me a beating. Please, let me go to the hospital. My body is in pain…" She vowed to return home and recount the incident to her parents, seeking to exact revenge.
