At the dinner table, Wang Shouzhen, who had been so smug moments before, watched the live broadcast. I feel like I've been viciously slapped several times, he thought, his cheeks burning hot. One moment I was bragging about how impressive my brother is, and the next I want to sever all ties with him. How did things change so fast?! Wang Shouben wore a similar look of humiliation, his heart filled with shame. I was just getting ready to desecrate Lin Tang's corpse, but now I'm being forced to kneel to him… I really don't want to! But everyone else is kneeling. I can't be the only one left standing, can I?
The others were no different; none of them wanted to endure such humiliation. But we must, the adjutant thought, steeling himself. It's all for Director Xiao and Director Guo!
