Before the immense presence of the Wu Family, Xu Hao displayed unmatched confidence.

With a faint smile, Xu Hao said, "Wu Yong, ah, Wu Yong, your name was indeed not chosen in vain! You are truly quite useless. The Wu Yong from Water Margin was an impressive figure, but when we look at you, it's actually quite hilarious. Wu Corporation's martial arts have declined, and you probably bear half the responsibility for that, wouldn't you say so?"

Seeing Xu Hao holding a whip, Xiao Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The way Xu Hao looked, seemingly admonishing someone, was just too funny, especially since he was chastising the Patriarch of the Wu Family, Wu Yong, who was decades his senior!

Wu Yong glanced at Xu Hao and, suppressing a surge of anger, slightly nodded his head.

Xu Hao was absolutely right; the Wu Family had developed to such a state that he, as the helmsman of the family, bore an inescapable responsibility.

Xu Hao smiled and asked, "How long have you been the Family Head?"

"Twenty-three years," Wu Yong replied in a low voice.

"Twenty-three years? Alright, then I'll give you twenty-three lashes!"

With that, Xu Hao actually picked up the whip and started lashing Wu Yong.

Wu Yong was, after all, the Family Head, and with women like Xiao Lan and Guo Lan present, Xu Hao refrained from stripping off his trousers.

Then Xiao Lan ran over, started filming with her phone, and counted as she recorded.

"One lash! Two lashes! Three lashes..."

All members of the Wu family were seething with rage. Xu Hao was publicly striking their Family Head, and using a method of discipline no less; this was even more humiliating than if Xu Hao had just beaten them up!

Wu Mengchong should have been the angriest person, but he felt not a trace of anger, even finding the situation somewhat funny.

He had been the Young Master Wu for over twenty years, basking in unlimited glory, only to find in the end it was all but a dream! This copy was generated from content at *.

Wu Yong had made him Young Master Wu merely to better protect his own son, Wu Yihan.

All of this was a sham!

Suddenly, with a wry smile, he said to Xu Hao, "Young Master Xu, why don't you finish me off? I don't want to live any longer."

Xu Hao momentarily paused, looked at him, and smiled, "Wu Mengchong, don't think about dying. Think about it; you were once the Young Master, high above the rest, and then one day you suddenly discover you're a bastard child, not born of the Family Head. You wouldn't be killed immediately, but you'd be exiled. Wouldn't you feel a surge of rage?"

Wu Mengchong nodded absently.

"Where would your rage come from? On one hand, Wu Gang, your biological father, and on the other hand, Wu Yong, who exploited you. They extended their past strife down to you, forcing you to bear pain that was never meant for you. You must hate them, right? Now you should seek revenge! Look, you've got the perfect protagonist's script for a novel. And me, being so arrogant now, am just setting myself up to be slapped in the face by you in the future. Don't you want to get revenge? Don't you want to slap my face? Isn't it ridiculous to think of death when such a brilliant protagonist's script lies before you?" Xu Hao said while he whipped Wu Yong and laughed.

The bystanders, after considering Xu Hao's words, found his logic quite reasonable, except for a nagging sense that something was off.

Wu Mengchong had a perfect script for a life reversed!

Wu Mengchong was left staggered by Xu Hao's words.

Perhaps Xu Hao made some sense?

But then again, he didn't have any cheats!

Xu Hao laughed, no longer paying him any mind, and proceeded to upload the video of whipping Wu Yong to his feed, without mentioning that it was he who had done the whipping.

Once the video was uploaded, it stirred up a huge commotion again.

Wu Yong was the chairman of Wu Corporation!

To think that the chairman of a top hundred enterprise in Huaya was publicly spanked; it was an unprecedented spectacle!

Even those who initially had no interest were now drawn in, curious about the reasons behind Wu Yong's spanking and who would dare to spank him!

Under the video, there was a flurry of speculation and guesswork.

Some pointed out, "The chairman of Xu Liu Group is just too amazing. Every piece of information he reveals is more explosive than the last. I am sure he has a vendetta against Wu Corporation. However, Wu Corporation indeed has issues. I predict that starting tonight, Wu Corporation's stock price will start to plummet greatly—it might even hit a historical low!"

"You're right; it seems the chairman of Xu Liu Group indeed has a deep grudge with Wu Corporation. But this is their feud. As spectators, we should quietly enjoy the drama."

"That's true, but the inner turmoil of the Wu family is just too sensational. I swear I've seen many palace dramas like 'Scarlet Heart' and none of them are as real as this."

"Of course, those dramas are fiction after all, but this is reality!"

Packing up his phone, Xu Hao turned to the Zhang Family members and said, "Today's issue could have been easily resolved. If you had met my demands, I wouldn't have pursued your responsibility. It's a pity you remained willfully ignorant."
