Chapter 909 You Will Die
Outside the car.
The mercenaries Huo Xingzhou had brought with him had already restrained Zhong Lingxiao's men. Zhong Lingxiao knelt on the ground, weakly supporting himself with his hands. His legs were covered in blood, and his face was as pale as a demon.
He almost succeeded!
Why does Huo Xingzhou still have so many people under his command!
Let him fail at the last moment!
Old Chen couldn't help but walked forward and kicked him in the chest, "Who told you to look at our young master like that!"
As arrogant as Zhong Lingxiao was just now, he now looks like a drowned dog.
That kick to the heart knocked him to the ground, and he didn't even have the ability to get up.
“Ahem…”
The old man of the Zhong family stood up with difficulty and walked out, supported by the old housekeeper.
The crisis was over, and he looked at the disheveled Zhong Lingxiao with indescribable disappointment.
"Mr. Huo."
Old Master Zhong shouted.
He used to look down on Huo Xingzhou and only regarded him as an outstanding junior, never calling him "Mr. Huo" with such respect. However, Huo Xingzhou did save his life this time and deserved his respect.
"It was our Zhong family's negligence this time that almost implicated you. I'm very sorry that our family has raised such a conscienceless descendant." Old Master Zhong said weakly.
Once a fierce tiger, he is now worse than a paper tiger in his old age.
It looks a bit humble.
It's so sad.
Everyone thought the old man was sincerely apologizing, but Huo Xingzhou sensed a different meaning.
Huo Xingzhou echoed his words, "He truly has lost all conscience! Human life probably means nothing to him. A person like him living in this world is a waste of food and will harm many innocent people. With all this blood on the ground, he's bound to end up torn into pieces!"
What he meant was that he would not let Zhong Lingxiao go.
The old man of the Zhong family knew that Huo Xingzhou was difficult to deal with, but he had no other choice but to speak frankly: "I think his legs are probably crippled, and he'll be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Since he's a member of the Zhong family, why don't you give me a favor and let me handle it."
After all, the old man of the Zhong family didn't want the blood of the Zhong family on his hands.
It is hard to tell whether this is superstition in one's bones or a rule passed down from ancestors.
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "Is your face worth my wife's life? It seems that you really want to spare his life, but for such a heinous murder, do you think he can still be alive? Even if I don't deal with it, there are legal sanctions."
Huo Xingzhou never thought that he would take Zhong Lingxiao's life.
But he has many ways to kill Zhong Lingxiao.
"Old Master, I think you're confused." Old Chen said with some disdain, "If our young master hadn't arrived in time, you would have died. You still have the energy to stand here and reason with our young master."
Old Chen didn't understand the old man's thoughts, but he suddenly understood why there was internal strife in the Zhong family.
It's obviously caused by the old man's favoritism and indulgence.
"I remember the Huo family's kindness. But I want to teach this unworthy descendant a lesson myself. Death would be a relief for him, while a life worse than death would be a punishment. I will spare his life and let him see what the future holds for our Zhong family."
Old Master Zhong didn't want to let Zhong Lingxiao off easily.
It’s just that his method of punishment is different from Huo Xingzhou’s, but in essence he still has to keep him alive.
Perhaps he still has some thoughts about the art of checks and balances in his mind.
Or maybe he was afraid that Zhong Yi would really die and the Zhong family would have no successor.
But no matter what, the Zhong family's corrupt kingdom could not develop in Zhong Lingxiao's hands.
Huo Xingzhou didn't need to understand him. Instead, he sneered and said, "Old Master Zhong, your words are really interesting. You always leave a way out for yourself and your enemies. The Zhong family is what it is today, all thanks to you! Times have changed. Your ways are no longer acceptable. I, Huo Xingzhou, will never allow a resurgence."
He was going to make sure Zhong Lingxiao couldn't recover from this today.
"Old Chen, help the old man to the side."
“Huo…”
"Mr. Zhong, don't forget who is treating you now. If it weren't for you, my Huo family wouldn't have gotten involved."
Huo Xingzhou warned him and stopped talking nonsense with him.
Old Chen asked two bodyguards to carry the old man away. Seeing that the old man wanted to speak, he directly found a towel and stuffed it into his mouth.
If you can’t speak, speak less!
You even dare to plot against the young master.
Does this old guy still think he is the emperor and has the final say over everyone?
He didn't even realize what the situation was like, yet he still dared to take advantage of his age. If Old Chen hadn't respected the elderly and loved the young, he would have beaten him up. The old man had probably forgotten that Zhong Lingxiao had just tried to kill him.
"Master."
Old Chen rubbed his hands in readiness, waiting for Huo Xingzhou's order.
Huo Xingzhou looked at Zhong Lingxiao, who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, his eyes filled with indifference. "Everyone you sent out has been apprehended, including the Pei family. Don't even think about waiting for rescue. The situation is over."
"Huo Xingzhou!"
Zhong Lingxiao shouted out the name with hatred.
At the same time, there is also some regret.
Why provoke Huo Xingzhou!
Why did he touch his soft spot? He and Zhong Yi were obviously rivals in love, and using this relationship could easily alienate them. He could even make Huo Xingzhou work for him. But what was his mistake?
Why did we lose despite such a good situation?
"Huo Xingzhou, are you going to kill me?" Zhong Lingxiao's eyes were bloodshot. "Kill me if you have the guts. Come on!"
He tried to stand up, but his legs seemed to be out of control. He could only hold up his upper body and stare at Huo Xingzhou with disdain and hatred.
But since he was kneeling on the ground, he was a section shorter.
Huo Xingzhou looked down at him, which made Zhong Lingxiao feel humiliated and even more painful than killing him.
He was actually forced to kneel in front of his opponent.
"You will die, but not by my hands." Huo Xingzhou said in a calm tone, "With what you did behind my back, you wouldn't regret dying a hundred times. Over the years, countless people have been ruined by you. The so-called noble and powerful family in the imperial capital is nothing but a den of filth and corruption."
The contempt in his tone made Zhong Lingxiao feel an uncontrollable anger.
"What do you know? So many families have been able to rise and remain standing thanks to conspiracy and intrigue. Huo Xingzhou, you speak so righteously, but can you guarantee that you have never committed any illegal or criminal acts?"
Zhong Lingxiao didn't believe it.
Those who can stand at the top have crawled out of the sea of blood and corpses. Didn’t the Huo family in Haicheng once experience a thrilling internal struggle?
Why should Huo Xingzhou stand on the moral high ground and accuse him!
