Chapter 786: 786: Pleading

Ling Yuxuan stood before Mo Canglan, shielding someone behind him, his eyes lightly fixed on Mo Qingsnow, who was half-kneeling on the ground, “Just speak properly, no need for hands or feet. Your brother’s an old bag of bones; if you shake him up like that, what if he accidentally passes away?”

Mo Canglan: ?

Mo Canglan silently glanced at Ling Yuxuan, “Well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration.”

His body was still robust; it wasn’t his time to go yet.

Ling Yuxuan turned back and cast a fleeting glance at Mo Canglan.

Seeing this, Mo Canglan immediately clutched his arm, feigning frailty, “With these old arms and legs of mine, indeed, I can’t withstand such shaking.”

Mo Qingsnow watched this scene, internally grinding her teeth, her eyes reddening as she looked at Mo Canglan with a sorrowful expression, “Are you truly not going to save Yuanyuan? She’s your own niece.”

Hearing Mo Qingsnow’s words, Mo Canglan furrowed his brows, “Only twenty lashes, she won’t die from that. Go back and wait.”

Mo Canglan had also heard about Qi Yuanyuan being taken away by the Law Enforcement Hall.

If the Law Enforcement Hall had captured someone without any reason, naturally Mo Canglan wouldn’t turn a blind eye, but Qi Yuanyuan had indeed done something wrong; she wasn’t wronged.

No matter who it was, if they did something wrong, they had to be punished.

Mo Qingsnow was pleading with him simply to have him order the Law Enforcement Hall to release her.

That was something Mo Canglan couldn’t do.

Listening to Mo Canglan’s words, Mo Qingsnow’s eyes widened, she looked up at him, “Are you… are you truly so heartless? Do you know what twenty lashes mean? Yuanyuan has never suffered such hardship since she was little; twenty lashes, how could she bear it?”

As she spoke, Mo Qingsnow started crying again, “Brother, please, just talk to the Law Enforcement Hall and have them release Yuanyuan.”

Ling Yuxuan, listening to her words, just coldly laughed, “Your brother had long told you to discipline her properly. It was you who refused to listen and spoiled her into lawlessness. Now, when she gets into trouble, you come begging your brother. Is it possibly your brother who spoiled her into such recklessness?”

Hearing this, Mo Qingsnow felt an intense hatred for Ling Yuxuan. Had she known that Ling Yuxuan was also here, she wouldn’t have come.

Ling Yuxuan usually didn’t care to deal with her, but in front of Mo Canglan, he would instantly morph into a fighter jet, as if afraid someone would aggrieve Mo Canglan.

Mo Qingsnow secretly fumed, but on the surface, while crying and wiping away tears, she said, “I know I was wrong, please spare her this once. Once she comes out, I’ll definitely discipline her properly.”

Ling Yuxuan, upon hearing this, continued with a sneer, “You’ve said that no less than ten times now, haven’t you? If you could discipline her properly, she wouldn’t have ended up inside this time.”

At Ling Yuxuan’s words, Mo Qingsnow’s figure stiffened slightly, a fleeting shadow crossing the depths of her eyes, continuing to bury her head in wiping tears, while crying and pleading, “This time it’s for real. There won’t be a next time. I’ll make sure to…”

Before Mo Qingsnow finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ling Yuxuan, “Okay, since you’ve said so much, why don’t you go to the Law Enforcement Hall and keep your daughter company? Whenever your daughter changes her ways, then both of you can be released.”

With that statement from Ling Yuxuan, Mo Qingsnow fell silent, instead shifting her gaze to Mo Canglan, and pitifully began, “Brother.”

Mo Canglan looked at Mo Qingsnow, “What your sister-in-law said makes sense; letting her out is utterly impossible. If you really care that much, go and keep her company.”

“Brother, you too… you’re saying this as well? I’m your own sister; how can you bear to say such a thing?” Mo Qingsnow, tilting her head back, looked accusingly at Mo Canglan.
