Qin Dingyuan snapped back to attention. The word "registration" ignited a fire in him. He had just been violently attacked with a stun baton by another security guard because of registration, falling to the ground and lying there for half an hour before recovering. This was an utter humiliation for Qin Dingyuan. At this moment, Zhou Hong mentioning registration was like lighting a fuse.
"Zhou Hong, is it? So arrogant. If I let you off, I'll take your surname," Qin Dingyuan said, his eyes red and filled with murderous intent.
"Enough with the nonsense, have you registered or not? If you haven't registered, you can't come in..."
"Aaaah...!" Qin Dingyuan roared in anger, feeling like he was talking to a brick wall. Zhou Hong was still harping on about registration, didn't he know there were more serious matters at hand?
Qin Feng, standing nearby, couldn't bear it any longer and shouted, "Uncle Yuan, what are you waiting for? Attack him! Cripple him. Didn't you always say you were good at fighting? You even trained at a martial arts school after retiring. This company is almost entirely owned by Qin Changhui now. If you don't show some authority, I fear our dividends will be tampered with too."
"Hmph, how could I possibly let him off? If I, Qin Dingyuan, let him off, my name will be written backward," Qin Dingyuan gritted his teeth. Just then, he felt his strength returning.
Zhou Hong finally realized this man was Qin Wei's father.
"So, you're Qin Dingyuan, the chairman's cousin," Zhou Hong sneered. If this were a sect on the Zi Xiao Continent, Qin Dingyuan would be Qin Changhui's senior disciple brother. Typically, if the sect leader position passed to the junior disciple brother, the senior disciple brother would often be disgruntled, scheme in secret, and try by all means to seize the position. It was exactly the same here.
"Qin Dingyuan, I heard you're unhappy that the family passed the chairman position to my father-in-law. Are you thinking of seizing the chairman position while the chairman is absent today? Heh heh, I advise you to give up that idea. The chairman may be absent, but I, his second-in-command, am here. You have no chance," Zhou Hong warned. Su Dan Novel Network
"What are you talking about?" Qin Dingyuan frowned, slightly confused.
"Heh heh, we're all smart people. You know very well what I'm talking about. Don't say I didn't warn you. If you don't behave yourself, beware of our sect rules... no, family rules."
"What did you say? Family rules?" Qin Dingyuan was instantly furious. He, a dignified elder of the Qin family, was being threatened with family rules by a mere security guard.
"Uncle Yuan, what are you waiting for? Attack! Where's your usual strength?" Qin Feng shouted again.
Qin Dingyuan had also reached his limit.
"Damn security guard, I'll show you!" Qin Dingyuan sprang up from the ground and threw a punch, his anger making him unleash all his strength without reservation.
"Slap." The next second, Qin Dingyuan's body was sent flying several meters away.
"Ah!" Qin Feng was stunned. Qin Dingyuan had loved fighting since he was a child, mixed around in society, and even learned a few moves at a martial arts school. Even ordinary young people were no match for him. Yet, this time, he was slapped away by Zhou Hong.
Qin Dingyuan took a few seconds to recover and looked up at Zhou Hong in disbelief.
"Qin Dingyuan, with your meager abilities, you dare to dream of usurping the chairman position? You're truly overestimating yourself," Zhou Hong sneered. On the Zi Xiao Continent, anyone who attempted to usurp the sect leader's position had some skill; this guy was a weakling. However, Zhou Hong understood that this world didn't emphasize martial arts cultivation, and the two worlds couldn't be compared.
"Zhou Hong, why... why are you so strong?" Qin Dingyuan asked, a hint of fear in his voice. He hadn't even had time to react before, only feeling a whoosh as he was sent flying.
"Less nonsense. Qin Dingyuan, your ambition to seize the chairman position is unyielding. Today, I will make an example of you to enforce the family rules," Zhou Hong grunted. He planned to deal with these dissenters in the family while his father-in-law was away, giving him a pleasant surprise upon his return.
After speaking, Zhou Hong picked up a broom from the security booth and pulled off the stick.
"What do you want?" Qin Dingyuan asked, looking at Zhou Hong with fear in his eyes.
"You are audacious, attempting to overthrow my father-in-law's rule over the company. Today, I will act on behalf of my father-in-law to enforce family discipline upon you, as a warning to others," Zhou Hong declared forcefully.
"You dare." Qin Dingyuan was furious. While he might not be Zhou Hong's match in a fight, so what? He was an elder of the Qin family! To be subjected to family discipline by Zhou Hong, a mere security guard, was unthinkable.
Zhou Hong ignored him, walked over, pressed Qin Dingyuan to the ground, with his backside facing up, and took out the stick.
"Slap!" Zhou Hong landed a harsh blow on Qin Dingyuan's backside.
"Ah!" Qin Dingyuan let out a pig-like scream.
At this moment, many employees in the company building upstairs were shocked. They peered out, and some even took out their phones to record and post in the company group chat.
"Slap, slap, slap."
"Aaaah, aaaah."
For the next minute.
The scene was silent except for Qin Dingyuan's agonizing screams.
Everyone was stunned. Even Qin Feng felt his scalp tingle. He had initially considered being tied up by Zhou Hong a great humiliation, but now it seemed like special treatment.
"Qin Dingyuan, do you submit?" Zhou Hong asked.
"Sob sob sob." Qin Dingyuan, battered, couldn't help but cry, his backside bleeding.
"You lunatic," Qin Dingyuan gritted out.
"Heh heh, I knew your wicked heart wouldn't die. Then let's continue with family discipline."
"Slap, slap, slap."
Another round of pig-like shrieks followed.
All the employees watching looked on with pounding hearts.
Soon, Qin Dingyuan was beaten to the point of raw flesh and blood, looking as if he was about to pass out. Even so, Zhou Hong had shown restraint. If not for his sheer weakness, a single palm strike would have torn him to shreds. He would have killed him with one blow, leaving no whole body.
At this very moment, at Jinzhou University.
Qin Mengxue was in a classroom, attending a lecture.
Suddenly, she heard the notification chimes of her WeChat family group. Puzzled, she opened it.
The next second, she was dumbfounded. In the family group, someone had posted a video. In the video, Zhou Hong was brutally whipping Qin Dingyuan's backside with a stick.
Qin Mengxue was completely shocked. Although she disliked Qin Dingyuan, as he had bullied her father since childhood, he was still a family elder. To see Zhou Hong whipping him so ferociously, anyone who didn't know the situation would think he was beating glutinous rice cakes.
