Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 121
Chapter 121 Never Regret!
Yanjing. Twilight.
As one of the core figures in the fifth type of army, Xiao Ding was definitely not an impulsive person who did things without considering the consequences.
When he decided to help Jiang Feng kill the seven experts of the Xiao Clan in the Red Star Building, Xiao Ding had already predicted what kind of trouble he would encounter after returning to Yanjing.
In order not to drag Han Chuxue and the others down, Xiao Ding deliberately kept a distance from them from the moment he got off the plane.
As for the task of taking care of Han Chuxue and the others, Zhou Yurou was naturally responsible for it. With the protection of Zhou Tonghai, who had already returned to his position and once again wielded great power, I believe few people in Yanjing dared to eat the courage of an ambitious leopard and even attack Zhou Yurou or her friends.
Even Zhou Yuan would not dare to meet Zhou Yurou again.
In the past, the Old Master was in a critical situation, so he could not leave the hospital at all. Zhou Yuan might jump up and down for his future.
But now, the old man had come out, and it was rumored that he was so energetic that he was dozens of years younger. Zhou Yuan had a feeling of regret in his intestines. If he hadn’t forced Yurou back then, if he could obediently be a filial son and a good father, then he could have relied on his status as the Zhou Clan’s eldest young master to proudly enjoy himself in the officialdom, like a fish in water.
Unfortunately, it was too late to regret anything. Zhou Yuan could only not provoke Zhou Yurou now. Because not provoking Yu Rou meant that he did not provoke her grandfather. If she didn’t provoke her grandfather, then perhaps her grandfather wouldn’t take the initiative to make a vicious move against her because of her father-son relationship.
Xiao Ding deliberately waited for Han Chuxue and the others to leave the airport before leaving the airport.
The traffic on the road outside the airport flowed endlessly. Xiao Ding stood there and looked around. As he had expected, the five black Audi A8s neatly drove over and stopped in front of Xiao Ding.
The car door opened and a row of tall and sturdy bodyguards wearing black T-shirts got off the car.
In the middle of the car, Shangguan Bo got out of the car. He walked in front of Xiao Ding, his face full of worry.
“Young Master, Old Master locked Third Madame into the kennel and hasn’t given her food for three days. He said that if you don’t kneel back and apologize, madam … madam …” Shangguan Bo’s eyes turned red and he almost couldn’t hold back his tears.
Xiao Ding gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He nodded and said, “I’ll go back with you immediately. Let’s go.”
“Be careful yourself. Old Master is furious. I’m afraid that you won’t feel good when you go back because you were ridiculed by Second Master and Third Master.” Shangguan Bo said worriedly.
Xiao Ding nodded lightly and said, “Yes.”
Although Xiao Ding had promised to wait for Jiang Feng for three days before returning to the Xiao Clan, when Jiang Feng said those words, Xiao Ding knew that as long as he returned to Yanjing, he would not be delayed too much. He had to go to the Xiao Clan immediately.
As for you, did you ask Xiao Ding if he regretted it? The answer must be “no”. With Xiao Ding’s personality, he would never regret what he had done.
Chung Man Street. The famous Harmony Palace in the Qing Dynasty. It was the current Xiao Clan mansion.
Perhaps when it came to the luxury of the mansion, the Xiao Clan’s mansion might not be as magnificent as a palace, but the simplicity and thickness of the mansion could be clearly felt from outside.
The car stopped at the dam in front of the Vermillion Gate of the Xiao Clan’s mansion. Xiao Ding and Shangguan Bo alighted from the car together.
He raised his head to look at the closed Vermillion Gate, and then looked at the word “Xiao Mansion” on the top of the gate. Although Xiao Ding was also surnamed Xiao, there was nothing else in his eyes except hatred.
Shangguan Bo looked at Xiao Ding and sighed. Xiao Ding did not say a word and directly knelt on the ground.
Bang! Xiao Ding heavily kowtowed on the ground for a while, then knelt down and took a step forward.
Bang! There was another sound, and then he moved forward.
This was the procedure for Xiao Clan disciples to plead guilty after committing an unforgivable family rule.
“One kneel and one knock to the door, ten knocks to open the Vermillion Gate.”
This meant that after Xiao Ding knelt at the door, he had to knock heavily on the ground ten times, and only when the people inside heard him clearly would the Vermillion Red Gate open to let him in.
Bang, bang, bang …
Xiao Ding kowtowed ten times in a row, and his forehead was broken. Unfortunately … the gate did not move and did not open.
Xiao Ding ignored this and kowtowed ten times again. The ground made of stone bricks was even cracked by Xiao Ding. The blood on Xiao Ding’s forehead flowed all over his face.
He didn’t know how many times Xiao Ding knocked his head, but with a “creak”, the door opened.
Behind the door stood two rows of sturdy bodyguards, each holding an eyebrow-length stick with a wooden skin and iron core. This was the second trial for the Xiao Clan disciples to plead guilty. “The Waterflame Staff went down to the Changting Pavilion, and the prodigal son returned to the court.”
Xiao Ding’s body started to shake slightly. Obviously, it was because he kowtowed too hard that a concussion occurred in his brain.
Shangguan Bo couldn’t help but burst into tears. He had watched Xiao Ding grow up since he was young and knew how Xiao Ding was a child until now. Shangguan Bo clenched his fists and shouted loudly at the door, “Master, Young Master knows that he is wrong. He really knows that he is wrong. Please forgive him this time. Please forgive him this time.”
“Uncle Shangguan, don’t ask them!”
Xiao Ding gritted his teeth and said this. Then, he straightened his back and knelt across the threshold of the Xiao Clan.
Dong! The door closed and even Shangguan Bo was shut outside. Although he had been in the Xiao Clan for many years, he had made countless contributions as the head butler. However, he was still a servant, so he was not qualified to go through the gate, so he could only go through the back door.
Bang! As soon as Xiao Ding entered the gate of the Xiao Clan, his back immediately touched a stick. He gritted his teeth and moved step by step towards the front courtyard lobby without saying a word.
This distance was about thirty meters long. Xiao Ding had to carry the clubs along the way before he could enter the main hall of the front yard.
Bang bang bang bang …
The muffled sound of the stick fiercely hitting Xiao Ding’s body continuously rang out.
Luckily, the person carrying the stick was Xiao Ding. If it was anyone else, they would probably only be beaten to death by the wooden iron rod.
Xiao Ding knelt down and walked forward step by step. Blood oozed out from the corners of his mouth and nostrils.
The thirty-meter journey gave Xiao Ding the feeling that it was as long as three hundred kilometers. He came back numb and let that stick fall to the ground, and then he crawled forward with both hands.
Xiao Ding finally saw the stone steps in the main hall of the front courtyard. He gritted his teeth and climbed up.
In this way, Xiao Ding could be considered to have passed the baton test.
Then there was the third trial, “Whip the Sin Child’s heart to repent, swear that it would not be heavy if he passed through the blood oath.”
What do you mean? It was using a whip to ask the Xiao Clan disciples who had made mistakes if they regretted their mistakes in their hearts. If you truly regret it, swear a blood oath that you will not repeat the same mistake a second time.
A strong man with a naked upper body was holding a long whip wrapped in iron wire. He looked down at Xiao Ding from above and shouted coldly, “Sin Zi, take off your clothes!”
Xiao Ding staggered to his knees and stubbornly stopped his chest. He unbuttoned his clothes with trembling fingers and took them off.
After the strong man soaked the whip in salt water, he walked behind Xiao Ding and abruptly whipped it!
“Sin, have you ever regretted it?”
“I will not regret it!” Xiao Ding gritted his teeth. Although his answer was weak, it sounded exceptionally resolute.
“Since you regret it, why don’t you pledge your blood … huh? Don’t you regret it?” The sturdy man was stunned. In the past, every Xiao Clan disciple would immediately shout with regret after being whipped in the third trial. Therefore, the strong man subconsciously prepared to make Xiao Ding swear an oath of blood. This was the first time he had encountered a situation where he shouted without regret.
He had already knelt down on his knees and suffered the punishment of a thousand sticks. Why bother dying at this last moment and not changing your mind?
The strong man shook his head helplessly. He raised his whip again and fiercely slapped Xiao Ding behind him.
When the whip landed on his body, it would directly open a hole. In addition to the bitterness of the salt water, the pain was unimaginable and unbearable.
“Sin, have you ever regretted it?”
Xiao Ding’s entire body trembled slightly. He gritted his teeth and said, “Never … regret!”
“Pa!” Another heavy whip.
“Have you ever regretted it?”
“I will not regret it!”
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
“Have you ever regretted it?”
“Absolutely … I don’t regret it!”
Looking at the flesh and blood blooming on Xiao Ding’s back, the sturdy man couldn’t even see it anymore. He couldn’t help but say to Xiao Ding, “Young Master, why are you here? As long as you say you regret it, you don’t have to suffer this pain. It’s just a single sentence. Why are you so persistent?”
“I … made a mistake this time because of my brother. I should treat my brother the same way. In front of him and behind his back, it’s the same. If I say I regret it here, I’m guilty of this brotherly kindness. Then I, Xiao Ding, am not worthy of being Jiang Feng’s brother.”
You can come. This is the only life I owe Xiao Tianqing in my life. At most, I’ll give it back to him today. I just hope he doesn’t make things difficult for my mom after I die. A grown man, what kind of ability is bullying a woman? Whoosh! “Down!”
The strong man raised his right hand and prepared to wave his whip. Suddenly, Xiao Tianqing walked out of the side hall.
He shouted, “Stop!”
Xiao Tianqing looked at Xiao Ding and sneered, “Xiao Ding, your mouth is quite hard. Not bad, not bad. It’s just that it’s hard for your mother, if you suffer because of an unfilial son like you.”
Xiao Tianqing clapped his hands, and two strong men suddenly pulled a woman out.
The woman wore a dog collar around her neck and was pulled out. As soon as she climbed over and saw Xiao Ding, she shouted loudly. She didn’t know what else to shout. She only knew that her eyes were filled with endless fear. It seemed that her mental state was abnormal.
When Xiao Ding saw this woman, he immediately shouted, “Mom! Mom!”
His entire body seemed to have gone crazy as he rushed towards Xiao Tianqing.
Xiao Tianqing kicked Xiao Ding in the abdomen. Who knew that Xiao Ding would hug Xiao Tianqing’s thigh and bite him.
This Xiao Ding had definitely used up all of his strength. Xiao Tianqing let out a miserable scream and kicked Xiao Ding away.
He pulled out his pistol and aimed it at Xiao Ding. “Bastard, do you really think I don’t dare to kill you?” He shouted sternly.
“Stop!”
The Vermilion Gate of the Xiao Clan was pushed open, and then a voice with boundless majesty and momentum came.
