Secretary Song felt incredibly wronged!
But he dared not defy Cheng Yanzhi's orders.
Cheng Qingyan's mother was called aside, and Cheng Yanzhi had people restrain Cheng Qingyan while Secretary Song gave her a few lashes.
The most frustrating thing about this whip was that after being struck, it left no marks on the body, yet the pain would linger for half a month.
In the past, when Cheng Yanzhi did something wrong, the old master would discipline him in this exact manner.
As children, Cheng Qingyan and Che also loved to be mischievous with him, but when the three got into trouble, only Cheng Yanzhi would take the lashes.
He was the older brother and couldn't bear to see his little brother and sister get hit.
He lashed Cheng Qingyan with the whip today also in the hopes of instilling a lasting lesson, to teach her to discriminate between what should and shouldn't be done.
