"If it weren't for your status, anyone else would have been dismissed and investigated long ago, and their head would have been chopped off!"
Jin Jiande's face turned bright red as his neck was being choked. He weakly swung his arm to hit the other hand, but Jin Jianren's strong physique and thick arm could not budge him an inch.
Breathing became increasingly difficult, and her eyes became bloodshot. A surge of heat welled up in her lower abdomen, wetting the sheets.
Just as he was about to suffocate, Kim Geon-in let out a cold snort and released his grip.
"Cough cough cough." As soon as his hand was released, Jin Jiande coughed so hard that he couldn't catch his breath and tears came out.
"Hmph, you're not suited to lead troops! Just stay a good little prince."
"I will temporarily hand over the Thousand Machines Camp to you. Come back to me when you have thought things through."
Jin Jianren said coldly.
Jin Jiande never imagined that he would have such a day.
As early as when His Majesty ordered the killing of Huanglong and handed over his military power to his elder brother, he had already noticed that his elder brother seemed to have quietly changed and was becoming more and more domineering.
Even so, he never imagined that he, as his younger brother, would be treated this way.
Regret, anger, and pain intertwined, making him feel even more suffocated than when he was being choked.
His pale fingers gripped the blanket weakly. He lowered his head, his still flushed face trembling slightly. Blood seeped from the corner of his bitten lip and dripped onto the blanket, but he was completely unaware of it.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jin Jianren lifted his face up and looked at him coldly, saying:
"Did you understand what I said?"
"From now on, listen to my orders! You'll do whatever I tell you to do!"
Looking at that fierce face, Jin Jiande had no doubt that if he said "no," the person in front of him would torture him.
No one knows better than himself how he treats others.
Finally, Jin Jiande, his eyes bloodshot, gritted his teeth and said, "Fine."
Having received a reply, Jin Jianren sat on the edge of the bed and patted him on the shoulder, saying:
"Jiande, remember this! Although I'm a rough man, I can be a bit rude to you sometimes when I lose my temper."
"But ultimately, I hope that our Jin family will be rich and prosperous forever, so I have to take everything seriously."
"Everything I've done is for the Jin family! Whether you truly want to listen to me now or not, you must remember this: listening to me will never be wrong. I will never harm my own family!"
"Do you understand? You need to be mindful of the bigger picture!"
Jin Jiande nodded calmly, "Understood."
Jin Jianren hummed in agreement, stood up, and said, "Let's not mention today's events again."
“Okay, big brother,” Jin Jiande replied, bowing his head.
Jin Jianren continued, "Take good care of yourself. I'll have Doctor Jiang come over tomorrow to take a look at you."
After saying that, he didn't linger and walked towards the door.
Jin Jiande suddenly called out to stop them:
"Brother, I was wrong. I underestimated the traitor."
"The mistake has already been made and cannot be changed, but the traitor must be eliminated."
"Now that things have come to this, we beg you, elder brother, to personally lead the troops to slay the traitor!"
He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, his calm eyes fixed on Kim Geon-in's retreating figure without blinking.
