"Good heavens! Can't you send someone tougher to punish this evildoer?"
...
Just when everyone was feeling utterly disappointed, the turning point arrived.
"The compensation has been settled, and now it's time to punish you, you bastard," Lin Yifan said, smirking.
"Hey! Wait a minute! Didn't we agree to spare my life? Why are you changing your mind now?" Zhao Hong asked anxiously.
"Yes, indeed! I did agree to let you live, but I never said I wouldn't punish you," Lin Yifan replied.
At this, the whole place burst into laughter as they were amused by Lin Yifan's clever twist of words.
"Despicable! So utterly despicable!"
"I thought he was just going to let Zhao Hong off just like that. Little did we know he had a trick up his sleeve! This is just perfect!"
"I hope the punishment is severe, so Zhao Hong can never wreak havoc again."
Hearing these taunts, Zhao Hong felt a surge of anger, feeling like he had been played for a fool.
