Chapter 452: Chapter 452: One Hundred Lashes Is One Hundred Lashes, Not One Less Chapter 452: Chapter 452: One Hundred Lashes Is One Hundred Lashes, Not One Less Bai Chuwei gave the butler a meaningful glance, and he immediately understood, calling Tang Ke into the room.
Seeing Tang Ke’s current state, Duan Xingye, Su Ruan, and Cao Yushu suddenly lost their appetites for breakfast.
Tang Ke’s forehead was covered in blood, and even the suit pants above his knees were completely torn, with his knees coated in blood. His body was also dusty; he looked as if he had just emerged from a coal mine!
Tang Ke didn’t dare to enter; he just stood outside and went weak at the knees, kneeling before Bai Chuwei. He raised the riding crop high above his head, tears and snot streaming down his face as he cried out, “Ancestor, I was wrong.”
Bai Chuwei, without turning her head and maintaining her calm composure, said to the few stunned kids, “It doesn’t matter if I don’t eat, but are you three sure you can manage without eating?”
Duan Xingye and the others had a stupefied look on their faces as they picked up their bowls to eat.
They epitomized the phrase “eating without tasting.”
Breakfast dragged on for a full half-hour. Tang Ke, holding the riding crop aloft with hands that had grown sore, didn’t dare to put it down, cowering miserably.
As soon as Bai Chuwei set down her chopsticks, Tang Ke rushed to cry out, “Ancestor, it was my fault, please spare the Tang Family!”
The corners of Bai Chuwei’s eyes were filled with endless amusement as she responded, “You’re wrong there. I am merely taking back what I once gave to the Tang Family.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Ke unhesitatingly slapped himself, mumbling, “Ancestor, I misspoke just now!” It seemed he genuinely lost a tooth.
Bai Chuwei gave him a sidelong glance and assertively said, “From the Tang Family, someone comes begging to Sky City on their knees?”
Tang Ke, tears streaming down his face, nodded vehemently. He knew she must have known!
Duan Xingye and the others were dumbfounded. Could it be that he had knelt throughout the whole night before arriving?
Bai Chuwei lightly stroked her chin and looked towards the butler: “Duan Xingye, count. Twelve more lashes from the butler will suffice.”
The ancestor had said, a hundred lashes means a hundred lashes, not one less!
The butler was gleefully eager, more than willing to comply!
Tang Ke screamed in pain, yet his cries did not carry outside the luxurious confines of Sky City.
Just outside the mansion, numerous media paparazzi were stealthily hiding behind trees and in the bushes, their weary eyes filled with boundless excitement!
These paparazzi had followed the whole night, witnessing Tang Ke’s crawl and kneel; it took him a whole night’s time to reach the outskirts of the Sky City mansion…
Damn, wasn’t it said that this mansion had been unoccupied for over twenty years?
Could it be that the owner had returned?
They, of course, couldn’t capture what was happening inside the mansion, so every media outlet was frantically writing up their reports to be the first to post them online!
In the early morning, just when people were waking up, the news shot up the trending searches like a thunderclap beyond the ear’s reach, straight to the top!

Several hot topics exploded onto the scene!
To express their gratitude for Tong Qingyan’s shelter, Wen Heng and Sun Xuanxuan decided to accompany Tong Qingyan to the selection for “Super Brain Scholar” today, so they got up especially early.
Wen Heng had actually not slept well at all because the room Tong Qingyan booked was only big enough for two. The two women, Tong Qingyan and Sun Xuanxuan, slept on the bed, while he, a man, had to sleep on the floor.
Upon waking up, he discovered he had a stiff neck. Rubbing his sore neck and yawning, Wen Heng took out his phone.
Sleeping on the floor was still better. Anyways, it was much stronger than following Bai Chuwei and involving the entire Wen family, right?
He habitually checked Weibo, and upon seeing the trending searches, Wen Heng’s sleepiness instantly vanished!
His pupils dilated, disbelievingly staring at the trending news.
Tang Ke kneels and apologizes on his way to Sky City… Apologize??
They hadn’t dealt with Bai Chuwei and the others, but he had gone to apologize?
