    However, Su Yingxue paid no heed to this. She persisted in demanding punishment for Chu Chengye.


    Chu Chengye’s face turned ashen, gritting his teeth bitterly. “Su Yingxue, you dare! You dare strike at me?”


    “She doesn’t dare, but I do!”


    With a single nce from Chu Yihan, Mo Qi swiftly arrived with two Shadow Guards. They swiftly subdued Chu Chengye before he could even resist, pinning him to the ground.


    Mo Qi took a nce at Manager Qi’s injuries, then turned to Chu Yihan, bowing. “Your Highness, this manager was subjected to three forms of punishment.”


    “Apply them back to Chu Chengye.” Chu Yihan ordered nonchntly.


    Chu Chengye was held down, his eyes almost bulging. “Imperial Uncle, how dare you!”


    Chu Yihan didn’t engage in meaningless banter. Instead, he instructed Mo Qi to fetch the torture implements from the prison and proceed to punish Chu Chengye on the spot.


    In no time, Chu Chengye’s skin was torn apart.


    Except for Su Yingxue, this scene left everyone else stupefied.


    Liang Jin furrowed his brows deeply.


    While he found Chu Yihan’s methods somewhat harsh, he deemed the punishment fair, so he refrained from saying much.


    The Minister of Justice and the Assistant Minister of Justice were petrified. The Assistant Minister’s face paled, and the Minister fainted upon seeing Chu Chengye bleeding profusely.


    Oh my God… Chu Chengye was headstrong. He was about to cry for help!


    After half an hour, Mo Qi reported to Chu Yihan. “Your Highness, the punishment ispleted.”


    Chu Yihan nodded faintly, then looked up at Su Yingxue.


    His eyes shimmered like a gxy of stars. “Satisfied?”


    Su Yingxue nced at the unconscious Chu Chengye and nodded. “Yes, I’m content. But Manager Qi and the others have been locked up for so many days…”


    Manager Qi was startled and hurriedly reassured, “Miss, we’re fine. We’re fine…”


    Chu Yihan’s tone turned icy. “Mo Qi, lock Chu Chengye up in the Ministry of Justice’s dungeon.”


    Mo Qi acknowledged and immediately took him away.


    “Ah…” The Minister of Justice awoke in fright, then promptly fainted again.


    After Liang Jin organized the case, he retrieved it for archiving.


    Chu Yihan escorted Su Yingxue out. Su Yingxue linked arms with him and rubbed against him, her face as soft as a cat’s. “Your Highness, you struck Chu Chengye at the Ministry of Justice today. Will there be any repercussions?”


    “Are you asking him or me?” Chu Yihan’s gaze turned chilly.


    Su Yingxue tilted her head, finding something off about this man!


    “Of course, I’m asking Your Highness. Why would I ask him?” Su Yingxue blinked her fox-like eyes and secretly appraised Chu Yihan.


    Chu Yihan’s eyes grew colder, his demeanor more severe. “I expected you to sympathize with him when I beat him.”


    Su Yingxue was curious. “Your Highness did it on my behalf!”


    She was the one who wanted to imprison him.


    Why would she feel sorry?


    “You even know that I’m doing this for you! Why didn’t youe to me when such a serious issue urred? If I hadn’t found the criminal, would you have gone to Chu Chengye?” Chu Yihan cornered her, the intensity in his eyes like a giant hand squeezing Su Yingxue’s heart.


    It was terrifying!


    Su Yingxue shook her head frantically. “I definitely won’t go to him!”


    “Really?” Chu Yihan narrowed his eyes. Su Yingxue felt dangerous.


    Su Yingxue nodded. “I definitely won’t go to him. Not! If 1 were to seek someone, it would only be you, Your Highness!”


    Indeed, thest sentence was exaggerated!


    She wouldn’t seek out Chu Yihan either!
