Seeing the scene before him, Zhao Rong was about to step forward to intervene, but the boss simply threw the sword on the ground in front of the young man and the proprietress. "You two should leave," he said. "The farther the better. Never let me see you again."
The onlookers had expected the boss to snatch up the sword and kill the adulterous pair. They never thought he would throw it down and forgive them instead. Zhao Rong was also stunned by the man's magnanimity.
Xue Lianmei looked at the boss with admiration. "A man like this is truly remarkable," she said.
When the young man saw that the big brother not only didn't harm him but had forgiven him, he immediately kowtowed. "Big Brother, thank you for sparing my life! I'll take the proprietress and go far away, I swear we'll never appear here again!"
With that, the young man reached to pull the proprietress up and flee.
