Kiss Me Goodnight, Mrs. CEO!

Chapter 167: Shi Le’s Cruelty!

Without waiting for Shi Nuannuan to open her mouth again, Tangteng Xi turned her head toward Shi Le and said, “Grandfather Shi, she’s just a normal assistant that seduced Ting, and now she’s disguised as a maid. But I figured it out, so I hope you’ll do me justice and chase her out.”

Her words stunned both Shi Nuannuan and Shen Lanzhi.

Especially Shen Lanzhi. She never thought that Tangteng Xi would say this in front of so many people. Aside from tarnishing the name of the Shi family, she also wanted Zuo Weiyi’s death!

Upon hearing her words, Shi Le frowned harder as he looked sharply at Zuo Weiyi’s face.

“Xi’er, stop being preposterous!” Tangteng Li scolded as he heard his granddaughter’s disrespectful claims.

He knew about his granddaughter’s bad temperament well enough. If anything did not go the way she liked, she could not tolerate it. Now that this situation was related to her happiness, she naturally wanted this woman to be gone.

However, the truth behind her words was yet to be revealed.

Shi Le threw a glance at Zuo Weiyi and his gaze landed upon Xiang Yi.

“Is that the truth?” His voice was low, no warmth could be detected in his expression.

Even if it was Xiang Yi, he feared for Shi Le too.

Confronting his questioning, Xiang Yi did not know what to answer.

Alas, to protect Zuo Weiyi, he chose to hide the truth. “I’m afraid I do not know about the Master’s personal life that well.”

He bowed his head. Before Shi Yuting woke up, he could not say anything in such a reckless manner.

Though his words sounded true, the punishment still came for him.

“You should know that your only responsibility is not protecting your master.” Shi Le looked at Xiang Yi and said, his tone was cold.

Xiang Yi lifted his eyes and met Shi Le’s sharp glare. He slowly nodded. “I am willing to receive my punishment.”

“Drag him out! Twenty whips to his body!” Shi Le commanded mercilessly.

Zhong Chenghao could not help but speak up.

“Mister Speaker! Xiang Yi was badly injured, his body can’t withstand twenty whips!”

Hearing Zhong Chenghao’s pleading, Shi Le only smiled coldly. He huffed out a cruel chuckle. “Hah! If he can’t withstand twenty whips, then it’s his fault for being weak! He doesn’t deserve to stand beside Yuting.”

Zhong Chenghao clenched his fists and was about to defend him again, but was stopped by Xiang Yi.

Even though he was badly injured, twenty whips would not take away his life.

It was his carelessness that had caused Shi Yuting to be injured, his punishment could not be evaded anyway.

However, it was clear to Zhong Chenghao that this punishment was because he did not speak the truth to protect Zuo Weiyi.

He made the correct choice though. Before Ting woke up, it was the safest to say “unclear” about their relationship.

After glancing at Shi Le, Xiang Yi turned around and prepared for his punishment outside.

But before he headed outside, Shi Le suddenly called out.

“Wait.”

Xiang Yi turned his body, waiting for the rest of his sentence.

“Who did it? Did you find out?”

Xiang Yi’s gaze subconsciously drifted to Shi Tiannan who was standing behind Shi Le.

This ambush was definitely planned by Shi Tiannan, but he did not have evidence.

Xiang Yi lowered his head. “Not yet, but it’s probably terrorists.”

“Keep searching. Even if it risks your life you have to find out the culprit!”

“Roger.”

“Leave now.”

Xiang Yi bowed and turned around to leave the master bedroom.

Looking at him leaving, Zhong Chenghao grew concerned.
