1193: Chapter 1193: Betrayal 1193: Chapter 1193: Betrayal âConsidering all the commendable work youâve done before, I shall merely punish you slightly, and Iâll also speak to godfather, to spare your livesâŠâ Song San lifted his eyelid slightly, âBut donât let there be a next time.â
âThank You, Young Master.â The group finally let out a sigh of relief.
âIf there is a next time, just take your own lives.â The light tone of Song Sanâs words belied a chill that ran down everyoneâs spine.
The group hurriedly made promises and swore their loyalty.
Song San waved his hand dismissively.
The group quickly fell silent.
âAmu.â Song Sanâs gaze landed on the young gentleman; he was, after all, the person in charge of the entire Changhuai State.
The young gentleman shuddered but already began to speak, âYour subordinate is here.â
âAmu, you are different from them, you are the most disappointing to me.â
âYoung Master, please give me another chance, I will never fail againâŠâ Amu was sweating profusely; he was the lead figure in Changhuai, which had seen the fastest development in the past few years.
Unexpectedly, starting from last year, the influence under his control had been repeatedly sabotaged, and now even the Baihua County stronghold had been exposed.
It was indeed his dereliction of duty.
âI said it before, if you lose to those two people, itâs not due to your incompetence, but because they are simply too formidable.
I am not angry, neither will godfather beâŠâ Song San lowered his gaze and rubbed the green jade ring on his finger, his mind suddenly recalling the silver thumb ring he had left with Yang Ruxin.
He wondered whether that woman had thrown it away or kept it?
Amu subconsciously swallowed.
âWhat disappoints me isâŠâ Song San stood up and walked over to Amu, âthe things youâve been doing behind my backâŠâ He paused, âWhy do you think I came here personally?â
âYoung Master, your subordinateâŠâ Amuâs whole body was dripping with sweat, his voice trembling, âI was momentarily blinded by greed, your subordinateâŠâ
âHehâŠâ Song San laughed, lifting the otherâs chin to make him look straight at him, âNow youâre scared?
When you allied with the gentry from the many counties and territories throughout Changhuai, seizing so many peopleâs shop formulas and accumulating so much wealthâŠâ
âYoung Master, all that was prepared for the Master, I just havenât had the chance to report it yetâŠâ Amu knew his situation was looking grim that night.
Thinking he had covered his tracks perfectly, he had not expected the Young Master to come investigating personally.
He truly regretted it now.
Song Sanâs seductive, peach-blossom eyes narrowed slightly, âYou havenât had the chance, huhâŠâ
Amu shuddered all over.
âSo, what about when I said never to harm the Yang Family?
Yet, you still went to meet Yang BaiyueâŠâ
Amu realized that the Young Master must have dug up everything he had done, and it was likely that the people he had cultivated were mostly doomed.
His face turned ashen; previously, he had plotted against Yang Baiyue to get the Dong Familyâs Silk Dyeing Technology and, of course, later for that Divine Sauce.
Alas, before he could succeed, the Young Master had ordered to not trouble the Yang Family, but he couldnât let go and acted in secretâŠ
without expectingâŠ
At that time, he had also considered taking forceful measures, but the Dong Family was in Jiangnan, which was not his area of responsibility, and it was also very close to the headquarters.
He didnât dare reach out, and as for Yang Ruxin, she was even stranger, surrounded by snakes and poison, completely inaccessible for assassins.
After testing the waters twice, he no longer dared to act rashly.
