At that moment, Duan Qianming couldn’t care less about the gazes of those around him. He knelt properly, his head bowed, fearing Rong Qi might utter the words that would doom the Duan family in the next second.

Mrs. Duan was still in a daze as she watched. She marched up and tugged on Duan Qianming’s shoulder. She asked, “Duan Qianming, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling to this woman?”

“You fool, will you not shut up? Get down on your knees and apologize to Ms. Rong!” Duan Qianming growled at Mrs. Duan.

Hearing that, Mrs. Duan, who was always accustomed to being the strong one, screeched, “Why should I? Who is she? What right does she have to make me kneel?”

Duan Qianming was filled with regret. He thought, ‘Why had I married such a woman who is a liability?’

Duan Qianming closed his eyes briefly before giving Rong Qi a deep kowtow and said, “My apologies, Ms. Rong. It’s entirely my fault. Regardless of everything else, I only ask that you spare Shujie’s life. Whatever the price, I am willing to pay it.”

After speaking, Duan Qianming gave three more kowtows, each so forceful that a bruise formed on his forehead.

Those around were stunned by the sight. They wondered if this was really the same imposing head of the Duan family, one of the four great families, now kneeling before Rong Qi.

Huang Hao and Zhang Fu exchanged glances, shaking their heads in silent agreement that they had no idea what was going on. They had thought they were doomed, but the turn of events had come so swiftly.

Rong Qi, watching Duan Qianming’s sincere demeanor, finally spoke up, a hint of a smile at the corners of her mouth, “Mr. Duan, your wife and son both wished me dead.”

“I have failed in teaching my son. I leave it to Ms. Rong to decide how to handle this matter, please quell your anger.”

After saying that, Duan Qianming even began slapping his own face, each slap without any reserve.

The people in the infirmary were too stunned to move. Outside, the Duan family’s bodyguards could only watch as their master punished himself.

Mrs. Duan opened her mouth, incredulous, “Duan Qianming, have you lost your mind?”

However, Duan Qianming ignored Mrs. Duan. It was only at this point that she realized something was seriously amiss. She belatedly fell to her knees and pleaded, “Ms. Rong, I have no idea who you are, but please, show mercy. Spare my family this once.”

Rong Qi’s lips curled slightly, she raised a hand to stop them and said, “That’s enough. Duan Qianming, this is the only time. I don’t wish to correct your son again. Let there not be a next time.”

“Understood.” Duan Qianming responded. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief because Rong Qi’s words meant she was willing to give the Duan family another chance.

Standing behind Rong Qi, Xu Yi, and the other two bodyguards thought, ‘Why does that sound so familiar? It sounded like Master Shen, who had said something similar before…’

“Ms. Rong, about my son…”

“Bring him here.”

“Yes, I’ll have someone bring him over right away. Thank you for your leniency.”

Duan Qianming immediately signaled the bodyguards with a glance.

Soon enough, Duan Shujie, who had been crawling on the ground, was carried over. The Class 7 students instinctively cleared a path to lay Duan Shujie down. Only when Duan Shujie was on the ground did Rong Qi rise to approach.

Before anyone could clearly see what was happening, Duan Shujie’s leg was set back into place with a “crack”

sounded. Only he knew the excruciating pain that came with setting a bone. Screaming out loud, his whole body trembled, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

As Rong Qi reached for Duan Shujie’s hand, he instinctively recoiled. But Rong Qi didn’t give him that chance. She grabbed his hand, and with a swift motion too quick to follow, another “crack” sounded as she set the bones in his hand right.

The agony of the second infliction was akin to being harmed all over again. Duan Shujie felt as if he was about to pass out from the pain..
