<h4>Chapter 1041: 1041, punishment</h4>


    Lu Zhaoyang opened her mouth to say something as she watched mo ning being taken away.


    Then, she remembered that she was almost shot to death just now and could not say anything. She slowly sat down on the sofa and held her forehead with one hand.


    “Huo Yunting, why would mo ning want to kill me? I really don’t want to believe it, but I can’t understand it either. ”


    He was such an outstanding child.


    He was graceful and elegant.


    She liked it very much at first nce.


    Perhaps this was the legendary affinity.


    Huo Yunting pressed his hand on her head and did not answer her question.”To be soft-hearted to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself.”


    “……”


    She understood.


    But why did she feel so ufortable in her heart? there was even a trace of pain.


    Lu Zhaoyang pursed her lips and wiped away her hesitation. She held Huo Yunting’s hand and said hesitantly,”if it’s possible, can you ... Show mercy?”


    Huo Yunting frowned.


    Mo ning had tried to kill Lu Zhaoyang twice. If she let her go, she would be letting the Tiger back to the mountain.


    Moreover, it was not enough to calm the anger in his heart.


    But when he saw Lu Zhaoyang’s pleading eyes, Huo Yunting could not help but think of the young man’s charming eyes and his heart trembled.


    “I’ll try my best. ”


    “Alright,” he said.


    Lu Zhaoyang knew that Huo Yunting had already agreed.


    What she did not know was that even if Huo Yunting was willing to spare mo ning’s life, the condition was that mo ning was willing to tell him the reason for the operation and let go of the hatred.


    As for mo ning, there was no way she would give up on mo Shan, and she would not let go of her hatred. So, it was a dead end.


    ……


    In a house not far from the western suburbs.


    Mo ning was brought to the basement by Huo Li and was tied to a wooden stake. Her limbs were bound and she could not move.


    After Huo Li asked her a few times and got no response, he picked up a whip with fine thorns and yed with it in his hand for a while. Then, he sneered.


    “I’ll ask you onest time. Tell us your background and why you tried to assassinate my sister-inw. If you tell us the truth, we might consider sparing your life. At least, you can suffer less!”


    “……”


    Mo ning had already expected the consequences of being caught.


    Her expression was strangely calm, and her tone was without any fluctuations.”I have nothing to say. Come on.”


    She would rather die than reveal mo Shan’s existence.


    She was d that she had sent mo Shan a message before she met Lu Zhaoyang.


    He imed that he was ready to take action and asked her to wait for news.


    If he could get it by today, it would be a sess.


    If not, mo Shan would have to leave country Z the next morning.


    “Very good,” he said.


    Huo Li’s eyes were full of praise and mockery. He held the whip in his other hand. A few days ago, mo ning’s helper shot him in the left arm. Fortunately, the bullet only hit the skin.


    “I really admire your toughness. I hope you can keep it upter, even though I don’t think it’s likely. There are too many stubborn guys who can’t evenst an hour in my hands.”


    “……”


    Mo ning pursed her lips and did not say anything.


    Pa!


    The whip struck down, and a trail of blood immediately snaked down from her neck. The hook on the whip tore her clothes, rolling up fine pieces of skin and flesh.


    Just a whip injury was already very shocking.


    The pain spread to her limbs and bones, but mo ning did not even frown.
