Dongfang Ming sat elegantly atop the master seat, looking indifferently at Treasurer Li kneeling on the ground.

Treasurer Li handled management at the Yonghe Bank, and he had been working here for a long time. Dongfang Ming was unwilling to believe he would do something like this.

For whatever motive, anyone who dared to tamper with the accounts was no longer employable!

Treasurer Li knelt on the floor. The superior might not have spoken, but he was already sweating profusely and in a state of agitation.

If it were not for his incompetent son who was buried in debt, he would not have done such a thing.

He had followed this young master since the man, at a tender age of fifteen, founded the Yonghe Bank.

Treasurer Li was very clear about how the man dealt with people.

"S-Sir, it's my fault. I won't complain, and I'm willing to be at your complete disposal." Treasurer Li admitted his wrongdoing and sought punishment.

He dared not expect a light sentence, as long as he could live through it.

Dongfang Ming might have been the queen's biological brother, but he was a businessman through and through. This matter was most taboo to him!

Tampering with the accounts had indeed happened before, and the punishment for it had always been quite severe.

Dongfang Ming had two ways of dealing with it. One, he would demand that the culprits emptied their private stash. Two, he would have their hands chopped off, to serve as a reminder of their unforgivable crime!

"Ming Yan," Dongfang Ming called.

Ming Yan instantly responded, "Yes, Master."

He was also shocked to hear of what Treasurer Li had done. It was regrettable.

"I want you to investigate the Baolai Casino owner's background information, but be mindful not to alert them. As for Treasurer Li..."

Dongfang Ming did not believe he had resorted to tampering with the accounts purely because he wanted to repay his son's debts.

He paused to consider.

After all, he was the only worker to have stuck by him for nearly ten tears. He was a good employee who had never failed to complete his tasks.

"Pick out the tendons in his hands!"

In the end, Dongfang Ming decided to let the man keep his hands.

He would still end up disabled either way, but there was a difference.

"Thank you for your mercy, sir." Li Treasurer leaned on the ground in a kneeling posture.

He was grateful that his hands were spared.

Then he got up and consciously pulled up the sleeves to reveal the arms that had passed their prime.

Still kneeling, he approached Ming Yan and said, "Do what you must, Ming Yan!"

Ming Yan looked at him, then unsheathed the sword strapped around his waist and swiftly cut his tendons.

Treasurer Li might not be young anymore but he was still a tough man. He bit his lips in agony throughout the process but never even squirmed once.

Dongfang Ming did not fidget at all as he watched, as though he was used to such bloody deeds.

After that, he waved his hand, signaling Ming Yan to take the man away.

Ming Yan heeded his master, lifted Treasurer Li onto his feet, and led him out.

Wang Xiangyun arrived at Yonghe Bank and headed straight for Dongfang Ming's location.

She knew he would be in that specific room each time he came here for business.

By coincidence, she came face to face with Ming Yan with the culprit and wondered what that was about.

Ming Yan got flustered when he saw her. His brows furled unintentionally.

"Miss Wang, what are you doing here?"

How he wished he could punch her in the face!

"I've important matters to discuss with Brother Ming."

Wang Xiangyun might not know what exactly had Treasurer Li done to deserve such treatment, but she was sure it was under Brother Ming's orders!
