Chapter 617: Chapter 617: Chi Enen is My Bottom Line
Li Beijue knew the effect of that whip, his thin lips pursed, he decisively spat out a word, âFine!â
âYoung Masterâ¦â The Old Butler tried to stop him.
That whip was made of shark muscle; it might look easy, but three lashes from it would leave a normal person either dead or crippled.
Old Master Li bellowed, âLeave him be! If he says fine, let him have a try!â
The Old Butler was worried, but he didnât dare to go against his wishes, so he could only watch helplessly as Old Master Li took the whip and walked over.
Li Beijue stood his ground, tall and handsome.
âBeijue, Iâll give you one more chance, itâs not too late to back out now.â
âI donât repeat myself.â
Old Master Liâs anger deepened, and he lashed out with the whip, striking Li Beijueâs back.
With a snap!
Li Beijue let out a muffled groan, his body swayed, he clenched his fists. With one lash, the shirt on his back was actually torn open, leaving behind a shocking blood trace.
Old Master Li hardly paused, swinging back his hand and delivering the second lash.
A great tearing and crushing sensation engulfed his back, Li Beijue groaned again, kneeling on one knee on the ground, with a streak of crimson blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
On his smooth back, two blood traces, wide as two fingers, intersected, blood seeping out from both sides of the wounds, skin torn and flesh burst openâjust looking was horrifying.
It was so quiet in the villa that you could hear a pin drop.
Let alone others, even the bodyguards used to seeing bloodshed turned their eyes away.
The Old Butler, needless to say, could no longer care about status and stretched his hand to grab Old Master Liâs whip, kneeling and pleading, âOld Master Jue, no more, please! The young master wonât be able to take it.â
A trace of pity flashed in Old Master Liâs eyes, his hand holding the whip hesitated, waiting for Li Beijue to speak. If Li Beijue were to yield, he would stop.
The man with one knee on the ground already blurred his vision with sweat, his back felt an agonizing pain as if flesh and bone were being torn apart, waves of excruciating pain enough to make one faint! Yet, he bit down hard on his teeth, not even grunting, his defined side profile stubborn and proud, even kneeling, his unyielding spirit was evident!
âYoung Master, donât defy Old Master Jue anymore, Iâll take you to get medicine,â the Old Butler, seeing Old Master Li wavering, quickly persuaded Li Beijue.
Li Beijueâs veins on the back of his hand bulged, trying to rise, but the injuries on his stomach and back overlapped, making him stagger and failed to get up. He raised his head, his falcon-like eyes resolute as he spoke hoarsely, âThereâs still one last whip.â
According to their agreement, just one more whip and he could leave.
âYoung Master!â
Old Master Li, not expecting him to be so stubborn at this point, angrily raised his whip and fiercely brought it down on his already torn and bleeding back!
âSnap!â
Li Beijueâs body jerked violently, almost falling.
He slowly closed his eyes, and the image of Chi Enenâs smile flashed through his mindâ
It was as if Chi Enen was his anesthetic, the pain dissipating instantly.
He had promised Chi Enen that he would come home to eat the Tomato Egg Noodles she made that evening.
He couldnât pass out, even if he had to crawl, he should crawl back to Chi Enenâs feet!
A surge of crimson nausea rose in his stomach, Li Beijueâs elegant brows tightly furrowed as he violently vomited a mouthful of blood.
The scarlet blood stained the bright white marble floor, a startling red!
The Old Butler wanted to help him, but was pushed away by Li Beijue.
He bit back the pain that ordinary people couldnât endure and staggered to his feet.
An innate military stubbornness in his bones prevented Li Beijue from showing even the slightest surrender.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, got up with the help of the sofa, and faced Old Master Li, âThree lashes are done, may I leave now?â
ââ¦â Old Master Li remained silent.
Li Beijue, struggling to support his body, dragging his bloodstained self, headed towards the door.
The bodyguards didnât know whether to let him go, still blocking the front door.
Old Master Li suddenly threw away the whip, as if squeezing the words through his teeth, âLet him roll out!â
The bodyguards cleared a path from the front door, which was also opened from the outside.
Li Beijue walked to the door without looking back, then suddenly stopped, âDonât touch Chi Enen; she is my bottom line.â
In the empty hall, Li Beijueâs dark, cold, and merciless voice reverberated, leaving no room for negotiation.
âIf anyone dares touch a hair on Chi Enenâs head, Iâll turn against them!â
