“Nonsense! How can you not remember such a thing?”

Ling Yunlong’s blood pressure suddenly soared, and he almost vomited blood on the spot.

Before this, he had never thought that the obedient and quiet Ling Tian would actually lie.

It was also because he trusted her too much that he scolded Ling Mo in front of so many people indiscriminately, and even brought out the whip that had been sealed for many years.

“Dad, is my face not going to recover? It really hurts…”

Ling Tian sensed the air that was lingering around Ling Yunlong’s body. Her shoulders could not help but tremble as she wiped away her tears as she spoke.

Ling Yunlong snorted coldly and threw the leather whip heavily onto the tray that Nanny Wu was holding.

Her face hurt? Was his face not hurting? !

He had lashed out on the younger generation in front of the entire family. In the end, he realized that he had reprimanded the wrong person. What bad luck!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt.

He originally wanted Ling Tian to apologize to Ling Mo, but seeing that Ling Tian was crying so hard that she was out of breath, he had no choice but to give up.

Seeing that Ling Yunlong was angry, Su Yu did not dare to say anything more. She quickly turned to the side and called out to Nanny Zhang in a low voice, “Bring second miss down to wash her face. After she is done washing her face, help her apply the medicine again.”

“Yes, Madam.”

Nanny Zhang responded quickly and supported Ling Tian as they walked towards the stairs.

“Wait.”

Ling Mo shouted sternly at Ling Tian, who was about to run away from the battle. She picked up the thick leather whip on the tray with one hand and slowly walked in front of Ling Yunlong. Her voice was cold to the bone, “Dad, can you tell me what will make you use this whip?”

“I haven’t even questioned who you’re fooling around with yet, and you’re questioning me?”

Ling Yunlong knew that he was in the wrong, so he only muttered a few words, and his tone was not as aggressive as before.

“Fooling around?” Ling Mo curled her lips and smiled coldly. “In your eyes, being surrounded by a group of gangsters in the alley, almost losing an arm, and almost being raped, is this still considered fooling around?”

“What do you mean?” Ling Yunlong’s eyes dimmed slightly, and he vaguely sensed that there was something else going on.

“After school this afternoon, Ling Tian’s classmate, Ji Yan, paid someone to kill me. He hired a group of hooligans to block me in the alley, saying that he wanted to stand up for Ling Tian. That group of hooligans looked like they were not to be trifled with. They had tattoos on their arms and their behavior was crude. I was able to successfully escape. I must have been lucky,” Ling Mo replied calmly.

“Is that true?”

Ling Yunlong looked suspiciously at Ling Mo, who was fully clothed, and did not believe her words.

If Ling Mo was really surrounded by the hooligans in the alley, how could she be standing in front of him unscathed?

“I’ve already sent the video link to your Wechat. It’s up to you whether you believe it or not,” Ling Mo guessed Ling Yunlong’s thoughts and added indifferently.

Ling Yunlong saw that Ling Mo had evidence, so he put on a hypocritical mask in the blink of an eye and said, “It’s good that you’ve returned home safely. Don’t worry, I’ll investigate this matter to the end. If they dare to touch my, Ling Yunlong’s, daughter, I’ll make them suffer.”

“…”

If it was before, Ling Mo would definitely be moved by his words.

After seeing the true face of this family, she felt that Ling Yunlong’s concern was filled with hypocrisy, making her feel extremely disgusted.

Seeing that Ling Mo didn’t say anything, Ling Yunlong pretended that this matter was over and said amiably, “Quickly go upstairs and take a hot bath. You’ll be fine after a nap.”

Ling Mo completely ignored Ling Yunlong’s goodwill and asked him with a serious expression, “Dad, can you tell me now, what will make you use the whip?”

“The 16th rule of the Ling family’s ancestral teachings is that no infighting is allowed, and no one is allowed to persecute their own brothers and sisters. Once you violate the ancestral teachings, you shall be punished according to the family law.” Ling Yunlong could not dissuade Ling Mo and narrowed his eyes as he recited a short paragraph.

“You child, it’s just a misunderstanding. Why are you being so serious?” Su Yu saw that Ling Mo had changed the topic again and twisted her slender waist as she moved closer to her, she pretended to be concerned and asked, “By the way, you didn’t suffer any losses after being surrounded by the hooligans in the alley, right?”

Ling Mo couldn’t be bothered to be polite with Su Yu. Her sharp gaze fixed on Ling Tian’s frightened face and enunciated each word clearly, “Answer me. Did you tell Ji Yan that I often bullied you?”

“I didn’t,” Ling Tian flatly denied.

“If you didn’t, why would he take the risk of going to jail to stand up for you?”

“Sis, why do you always target me?” Ling Tian pouted and her voice was as soft as a mosquito.

“I should be the one asking the questions.”

Ling Mo raised her eyebrows and looked at Ling Yunlong, whose eyes were darkening, “Ling Tian first lied and accused me of beating her up. Then, she instigated others to hire assassins and almost harmed me. This has already violated the Ling family’s ancestral teachings. Dad, what do you think we should do about this?”

Su Yu’s expression changed abruptly as she tried to mediate the situation, “Sisters playing around, why involve the ancestral teachings? Moreover, Xiao Tian knew nothing about that boy hiring assassins to hurt others. Xiao Tian is kind, how could she just watch as her own sister is bullied?”

Ling Yunlong was tired of Ling Mo who would not let go of even the slightest mistake. He defended Ling Tian without any reservation, “Yu’er is right. It’s perfectly normal for sisters to play around. There’s no need to go overboard.”

“Dad, isn’t that double standard? Ling Tian got into trouble, and you just described it as ‘sisters playing around.’ I didn’t do anything wrong, yet you’re in a hurry to use the whip. What kind of logic is this?”

Ling Mo had long expected Ling Yunlong’s reaction. When she was on the verge of losing her temper, she unhurriedly took out her phone from her breast pocket and waved it in front of Ling Yunlong’s eyes, “Dad, the entire country is watching. You should know what to do, right?”

“What is this?”

Ling Yunlong looked at his oily face on the screen of the phone. His eyelids were twitching wildly, and he suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart.

Ling Mo smiled and explained unhurriedly, “The netizens in the live stream witnessed the thrilling process of me being surrounded by gangsters after school. After I returned home, I started another live stream to report to everyone that I was safe. In the end, I was reprimanded by you and forgot about it.”

“You!”

Ling Yunlong was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He wished that he could hang Ling Mo up and give her a good beating. However, because there were so many people watching the live stream, he had no choice but to temporarily suppress and swallow his anger.

He glanced at the top left corner of the screen where the number of viewers had just exceeded 100,000. His gaze finally locked onto the chatbox at the bottom left corner of the screen.

[ Wooo~ Scum dad has finally shown his face! ]
