I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 171

When Dugu Xiao saw how stubborn she was, he frowned and followed behind her.

After Leng Ling arrived at the punishment hall, she directly knelt down, and the person in charge of punishment took the whip and came over. However, he was stunned after seeing her. “Miss Leng, the wounds from the 30 lashes you suffered today is still bleeding, how can…”

Leng Ling merely took out a white towel from the side and stuffed it into her mouth. After that, she mumbled in an unclear tone, “Do it!”

The person in charge of punishment looked at Dugu Xiao.

Dugu Xiao narrowed his eyes ruthlessly. “What are you looking at me for? Do it!”

The person in charge of punishment could only steel his heart and whip Leng Ling’s back.

Leng Ling gritted her teeth and didn’t speak.

Dugu Xiao mocked, “Have you not eaten? Use more force. Today, I want her to know the consequences of disobedience!”

The person in charge of punishment didn’t dare to hesitate and could only continue the whipping with more force.

“Pak!”

“Pak!”

“Pak!”

…

The sounds of the whipping continued relentlessly. From the start until the end, Leng Ling didn’t utter a single sound. However, her forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

After the thirty lashes, she struggled to get up. She then tossed the towel in her mouth to Dugu Xiao’s feet as she started running around the villa.

This time around, she only ran for a short while before she fell.

When Dugu Xiao came to her room, Leng Ling was already lying on her bed with her back facing the ceiling. Her back was revealed and there was not a single patch of unblemished skin. The wounds in the afternoon were already flowing with pus because she wore tights and sweated when she ran the 30 miles.

Her face was pale as she looked at Dugu Xiao who had just entered. She then struggled and wanted to stand up so she could go out to run, but the family doctor at the side held her down. “If you do so, you will throw your life away. You better lie down and rest properly now. If you continue with your nonsense, you don’t have to think about living anymore!”

Leng Ling’s voice was hoarse. “I have not completed my 30 miles.”

Dugu Xiao narrowed his eyes at her appearance. He suddenly crouched and slowly spoke, “You can do so later. However, Leng Ling, I will still tell you the same thing. Don’t defy my command ever again!”

Leng Ling stared at him. “In this world, no one can replace her. No one is permitted to. Let me say it again, I’ll definitely kill her!”

Although Shen Ruojing didn’t see the dispute in Dugu Xiao’s villa, she could guess it when she thought about Leng Ling’s personality.

How could she make Leng Ling stop being so stubborn? Could it be that she had to take the initiative to reveal her identity?

During the next day, Shen Ruojing pondered over these questions as she ate breakfast.

Chu Cichen sat opposite her and after seeing how distracted she looked when eating, he frowned slightly and coughed unhappily.

At this moment, the butler suddenly entered. “Sir, something happened to the Chu Corporation.”

Chu Cichen looked at him. “What happened?”

“The Yan Family has contacted reporters and blocked the entrance of our company. They want you to give them an explanation.”

Chu Cichen placed his chopsticks down and took a piece of tissue from the side before wiping his lips unhurriedly. He then stood up and walked out.

Shen Ruojing looked at his back and her thoughts returned to the death of Yan Zihao.

After that, she lowered her head and looked at her phone as she quietly waited.

Ye Lu should be giving her a call any time now. She could only hope that reality was different from what she was thinking. If what she guessed was right…the entire Sea City would be in huge trouble.

As she was thinking, her phone screen suddenly lit up. Ye Lu was calling her.

Shen Ruojing immediately picked up, and Ye Lu didn’t tease her like how she would do so normally. Her voice was unprecedentedly heavy as she spoke, “Jingjing, the results are out. Things are the same as what you guessed. Yan Zihao wasn’t beaten to death. Before he got beaten up, someone injected something in his body.”

Shen Ruojing’s expression tensed. After that, she heard Ye Lu saying, “It isn’t poison. Rather, it is a virus with a transmissible nature, virus ss5!”

“Virus ss5!!”

Even if Shen Ruojing was someone who had always been calm no matter the circumstances, at this moment, her expression involuntarily darkened.

Back then in America, there was a science lab that completed the research on virus ss5! It was highly contagious and extremely fatal!

Also, the transmission rate of this virus was extremely fast. Its incubation period was two to three days and the carrier would die directly.

“Someone must have administered it to him.” Ye Lu’s voice was very certain. “I knew long ago that those dark organizations are capable of all sorts of things.”

Shen Ruojing then asked, “Have you guys adopted the necessary protective measures?”

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen to us.”

“Hmm.” Shen Ruojing continued, “After Yan Zihao died, the corpse is still contagious. I’ll immediately report this, so I’ll be hanging up first.”

After hanging up, Shen Ruojing immediately made a call to Captain Cui.

Captain Cui picked the call up very quickly. “Miss Shen, what’s the matter?”

“Something happened.” Shen Ruojing told the end result to Captain Cui and immediately continued, “Yan Zihao’s corpse is a source of contagion. You guys have to immediately use an isolation bag and seal the corpse up. In addition, everyone who enters and exits the morgue must disinfect themselves.”

Captain Cui’s voice was very heavy. “How great is the possibility that we are infected?”

Shen Ruojing replied, “You don’t have to be afraid. I’ve done research on this virus before. It is transmitted through respiratory droplets, so it is impossible for Yan Zihao to infect you guys through this method. In addition, after touching the corpse, you guys would surely disinfect yourself. But just in case, I’ll get some people to concoct medicine. Those who came in contact with the corpse better eat a pill just as a precaution.”

Captain Cui heaved a sigh of relief. “Okay.”

After hanging up, Shen Ruojing pondered for a moment before giving a call to Chu Cichen.

Chu Cichen had just arrived at his company and was currently handling some problems.

After hearing his phone ringing, he picked it up unhesitatingly. “What’s the matter?”

It was very rare for Shen Ruojing to call him. So, there surely must be something important.

Shen Ruojing spoke, “I wish to borrow your pharmaceutical R&D team to use. Do you have any objections?”

“No problem.”

Chu Cichen had always been decisive when it came to working. “Get Lu Cheng to arrange whatever medicine you want to concoct.”

“Sure.”

Shen Ruojing hung up and started writing the prescription. She then sent it to Lu Cheng once she was done.

Lu Cheng replied quickly. [Bro Chen has already told me. Lord Jing, how many pills do you want to make?]

Shen Ruojing contemplated. [Let’s make 10,000 pills for now.]

Lu Cheng. [So many? Are you eating the pills for your meals?]

Shen Ruojing lifted her brows. This fellow was always used to rebutting.

Just when she wanted to send another message, Lu Cheng tactfully replied once more to her earlier message. [There’s no problem, I’ll make the arrangement immediately.]

Shen Ruojing put her phone down.

Everything had been arranged, so she could only wait for now.

She might as well go to Dugu Xiao’s villa and finish the last round of acupuncture for him.

However, just when she entered the villa, she saw a bunch of women wearing red dresses and golden masks who were pointing at the area ahead and whispering.

“Look, she can no longer run. In the past, she kept scolding and beating us up. She truly deserves this!”

“That’s right. We merely listened to Mr. Dugu who is acting in a roleplay. But every time our roleplay was too similar, she would want to beat people up. Now, she is finally struck by karma! This feels way too good!”

“Look at her back, is that blood or sweat? Her clothes are black so I can’t tell…Mr. Dugu should really punish her harshly. She is just too arrogant!”

“…”

Shen Ruojing frowned when she heard their conversation. She then glanced in the direction they were pointing and discovered that Leng Ling was currently running. Her hands were on her knees as she took every step forward with great difficulty.

Her body looked thin and weak, but she exuded an aura of extreme stubbornness. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Shen Ruojing’s gaze turned heavy.
