?Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Not Even Sparing the Father-in-Law?   Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Not Even Sparing the Father-in-Law?                                   Tattooed Arm Man was terrified, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping down his face.


    Mu Hongzhong was their boss, and he was notoriously ruthless, but even a tough character like him was extremely afraid of Sheng Tingyuan!


    He and Baldy were at bestckeys running errands and doing dirty work, with his status slightly bolstered by the fact that a distant cousin of his was Mu Hongzhong’s mistress.


    But if all of Mu Hongzhong’s assets really were gone, it wouldn’t matter whether his cousin was willing to protect him or even risk her life to do so; Mu Hongzhong would definitely not let him off lightly!


    What awaited him would be torture worse than death!


    “Young Master Ting, please spare my life, I know I was wrong! I won’t dare to do it again!”


    Tattooed Arm Man begged frantically, “Whatever you ask of me, I will do it, just please don’t tell our boss!”


    Sheng Tingyuan looked on coldly and did not respond to him; instead, he turned to look at Wen Xingye.


    “Are you truly Chuyi’s biological father?”


    Wen Xingye nodded hurriedly, “I am, I truly am! Xiaoyi is my daughter, she’s the daughter of Ye Jinyu and me!”


    “Since she’s your daughter, why would you deliver her to these beasts? Not even tigers eat their offspring, Wen Xingye, are you more venomous than a tiger?”


    “No, no, that’s not it, President Sheng, it’s all a misunderstanding. I love Xiaoyi dearly, bringing her here today was just for show. How could I possibly really hand Xiaoyi over to these people? They forced me to do it, President Sheng, you must not let these people go, they are thoroughly wicked. Seeing that Xiaoyi is beautiful, they lusted after her, they are utterly corrupt!”


    Sheng Tingyuan’s voice was particrly indifferent, “They will naturally be punished, but you have not yet been punished, choose your own punishment.”


    Wen Xingye’s face stiffened, “You… you can’t seriously expect me to kneel before you? No matter what, I am your elder, and Xiaoyi is my daughter. You don’t even call me dad, isn’t asking me to kneel a bit unreasonable?”


    The assistant immediately scoffed, “Where do you get off ying the elder card in front of our President Sheng? If you had been any good to our Madam, it would be another story, but you sold her out. How can you have the face to im elder status? Truly shameless!”


    Wen Xingye retorted angrily, “You! Mind yournguage!”


    Sheng Tingyuan spoke dispassionately, “Kneeling doesn’t count as punishment. It’s cutting off hands and feet that counts as punishment. Both of them have already lost their hands, now it’s your turn.”


    Wen Xingye looked at him in horror, “You’re going to make me cut off my hand? You have already confirmed that I am Xiaoyi’s dad. How can you still treat me this way? Would Xiaoyi ever know you’re so cruel and heartless, not even sparing her father-inw?”


    “She doesn’t know.”


    Sheng Tingyuan’s tone was icy, “And you’d better make sure she doesn’t find out, otherwise, it won’t just be your hands you’ll be losing.”


    Wen Xingye retreated frantically, clutching his hands tightly, “No, you can’t do this. My hands are valuable! With my hands I can take better care of Xiaoyi, right?”


    “She doesn’t need your care. Will you cut off your own hand, or would you prefer they do it for you?”


    Upon hearing this, Tattooed Arm Man immediately said viciously, “Wen Xingye, if you can’t bring yourself to do it, I’ll help you cut it off! This whole incident started because of you, I’ll be sure to take very good care of you.”


    He emphasized the word “take care” with extreme malice, as if he wanted to devour Wen Xingye.


    Wen Xingye’s face turned ashen, and as he looked around at the line of bodyguards outside, he felt utterly hopeless—he couldn’t possibly escape!


    He gritted his teeth; it was better to cut off his own hand than to let Tattooed Arm Man do it. At least that way he might retain some control and have a chance of reattaching itter.


    Earlier, Tattooed Arm Man and Baldy had each cut off one hand. Learning from their method, he picked up a hammer and fiercely smashed it down on his wrist.


    The sound of bone cracking and excruciating pain followed, causing him to scream and copse to the ground, almost passing out.


    Sheng Tingyuan looked at Baldy, “Go check to make sure he isn’t faking it.”


    Baldy immediately got up and, without any care, viciously twisted Wen Xingye’s wrist. Hearing him scream once more, he turned and respectfully said, “Young Master Ting, his hand is broken now.”
