Lao Jiu approached with a sheepish smile, "Boss, uh, I shouldn't have done that today, I was wrong."
"I really couldn't hold back the craving for a drink."
"Please, have mercy this time, and forgive me."
Yun Jiao looked at him for a moment without speaking.
Then she turned her head and called out, "Mr. Lin, Ah Hu, come over here."
Ah Hu ran over from the front, and Jiang Youzhi also came over.
Lin Shuo came down the stairs as well.
Yun Jiao instructed Ah Hu, "Go find a rope, a long one."
Lao Jiu felt inexplicably fearful, feeling that the rope had something to do with him.
Soon, Ah Hu came back with a coil of rope.
Yun Jiao said, "Tie up Lao Jiu."
She looked around and pointed to a pillar under the porch, "Tie him to that pillar."
Lao Jiu was startled. Was she planning to tie him up and whip him?
He quickly pleaded, "Boss, I was wrong; I'll never dare again."
Lin Shuo and Ah Hu hesitated for a moment but still decided to follow Yun Jiao's orders.
