Chapter 1032: Wearing Thorns to Atone
The crowd never expected that the sack on Yin Hu’s back contained coiled, dozens of meters long thorny branches!These thorny branches were clearly freshly cut, as thick as an arm, covered with circles of hard thorns, looking shocking and intimidating.
"Sorry, please make way, I don’t want to hurt anyone."
With a hoarse voice, Yin Hu spoke as the audience around him nervously stepped aside. Only then did he take the rough thorny branches in his hands and begin to wrap them around his body layer by layer.
The sight left everyone stunned again, their eyes aching for him!
It turned out he had his upper body bare to facilitate binding these thorny branches at this moment.
The thorns pierced Yin Hu’s hands, causing them to bleed profusely. As they wrapped around his back, they instantly dug into his skin. Moreover, he intentionally tightened them even further, so in no time, his flesh was brutally lacerated.
It was truly unbearable to watch.
On the awarding stage, Gu Shiyin was so shocked that she was almost dumbfounded.
Even though Yin Hu had always been her loyal lapdog, he had never behaved like this before her. This, this was offering himself for punishment... seeking forgiveness?
To Bao Gucheng?
Before the thought could fully form, Yin Hu suddenly knelt down with a thud.
Yet it was in the direction of Zuzi!
"Miss Zuzi, I know well that I’ve been blind before, utterly foolish, and I dare not beg for your forgiveness, but with all sincerity, I am willing to spend the rest of my life atoning!"
On the stage, Gu Shiyin staggered and nearly fell.
Yin Hu had just exposed her dark past to the public and then turned to offer himself for punishment to Zuzi?
So it was not that Yin Hu was coerced by someone or had some confidential matter, he was completely doing this out of his own will, to please Zuzi, to beg for her forgiveness, at the expense of degrading Gu Shiyin?
In an instant, Gu Shiyin felt an unbearable anger, like being bitten by her own loyal dog.
She couldn’t help but scream into the microphone, "Yin Hu! Are you crazy? Why are you humbly begging Zuzi? What makes her worth it?! I admit if anyone is wronged, it’s Mr. Bo, it’s my mistake, you have no reason to apologize to that woman Zuzi!"
Yin Hu did not turn to look at her, just continued to bind himself with the thorny branches layer by layer, kneeling devoutly in front of Zuzi.
A hoarse voice came through the wireless microphone:
"For leaking Mr. Bo’s whereabouts, for facing him wrongly, I am willing to return to the squad and accept punishment. Wrong is wrong, if Mr. Bo wants to shoot me, I have no complaints."
"But today, I am specifically begging for Miss Zuzi’s forgiveness."
"I was blind, back then Miss Zuzi personally taught me military boxing, enabling me to win the championship, yet I didn’t understand her kind intention, which was to focus on bringing glory to the nation."
"At that time, my heart was all tied to a woman worse than pigs and dogs, blinded by her flashy, deceitful facade. How could I have doubted my faith in my country, nearly siding with the enemy in the crucial moment of Empire and M Country competing over the ancient tomb’s ownership."
"Even if I were to be pierced to death by thorns today, it would be deserved."
"That woman worse than pigs and dogs pushed me to my death, and I still thought she treated me with tenderness and affections. I was really struck foolish."
Yin Hu’s voice grew more resolute as he lamented, "This life of mine was saved by Miss Zuzi, returning it to her is only rightful!"
The audience gasped, though Yin Hu’s speech was broken and vague, the basic relationships were clear, wasn’t that "woman worse than pigs and dogs" Gu Shiyin?
Teacher Gu played a decent man into what was he now, wasn’t it too tragic?
Sympathetic eyes were all cast towards Yin Hu.
Yet Zuzi, sitting in her original spot, lazily raised her eyebrows, her tone half-smiling, half-serious, "Little Tiger, Ancestor didn’t save your life, you know."
