"Dad, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this once."
He realized that those who understand the times are wise.
On this island, the old man is the most powerful; he shouldn't go against him.
"If you're willing to forgive me this once, I promise I'll turn over a new leaf and start anew after I get out."
"Is it okay, is it okay, Dad?"
Ever since Master Gong walked in from outside, Gong Ziqi had been begging for mercy, trying to soften his heart.
But it was all too late.
To be honest, it breaks Mr. Gong's heart to see his son become so wretched.
Why would he drive himself to such a dead end when he could have lived a perfectly good life?
He also wanted to spare him.
But would Zimo, Lao Jiang, and Alu agree?
Sometimes when I think about it, I realize that he caused many of these problems himself, so he can't blame anyone else.
As he approached him, the pungent odor emanating from Gong Ziqi almost made him vomit.
He endured it, covered his nose, and took a few steps back.
I still couldn't stand it, so I kept my distance from him.
"Ziqi, where is your mother?"
So many days have passed, and she has vanished without a trace.
They're quite capable.
Gong Ziqi knew from his complete disregard for his pleas that he had no intention of letting him go.
His eyes suddenly dimmed.
He lowered his eyes, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips.
"I have no idea."
If he thinks that he would sacrifice his own mother's life for a comfortable life now, he is sorely mistaken.
"Ziqi, I know this has little to do with you. Here's what I'll do: if you tell me where your mother is, I can let you go."
At this point, Gong Ziqi suddenly laughed.
Oh.
He knew it.
"Dad, I'm not you."
He disregarded his family's feelings for the sake of profit.
Master Gong's expression changed. "What do you mean?"
Gong Ziqi smiled but didn't say anything.
Master Gong looked at him, seemingly provoked.
"Gong Ziqi, don't forget that you're in a precarious situation right now."
"So what?" Gong Ziqi retorted. "No matter what, I would never betray my mother."
Forget about it.
After speaking, Gong Ziqi lowered his head.
At that moment, Master Gong squinted and remained silent on the side.
For a long while, neither side said anything more.
It stinks terribly here.
Master Gong didn't stay long before leaving.
...
A few days later, Gong Ziqi overheard that his mother was going to come back to the island to find him.
Clearly, this was the last thing he wanted to see.
He didn't want to see his mother come back and die for him.
That evening, a group of people were still having dinner.
The butler rushed in from outside, his face grave. "Master, something terrible has happened."
"The Fourth Young Master... he bit his tongue and committed suicide down there."
"What?"
These words shocked everyone.
Without realizing it, Master Gong stood up from the dining table. "Old Jiang, has the person been taken to the hospital yet?"
"Master, the doctor has already been called to come and see him." He breathed a sigh of relief as he said this, "Fortunately, they arrived in time, and the fourth young master is now out of danger."
It's nothing serious.
Master Gong only heard these few words.
He let out a heavy sigh of relief. "It's alright, it's alright."
As he spoke, he put down his rice bowl and followed the butler out.
In fact, Gong Ziming is right.
As far as Master Gong is concerned, he has never shown favoritism to anyone.
If so, it must be related to one's own interests.
Apart from that, he treats everyone the same.
But sometimes he doesn't do it well, which is always hard to figure out.
