34 -34: How Terrifying is Second Master’s Rage
With a light final ‘hmm’, Huo Yirong spoke.
Huo Qiang and Huo Zhi trembled upon hearing it.
The color drained from Huo Zhi’s face, acknowledging her imminent death.
She bit her lip, and then spoke, resigned, “I beg you, Second Master, make it quick.”
“Hah!” Huo Yirong laughed bitterly, yanking harder on her hair.
The scalp felt unbearably painful, and Huo Zhi painfully leant forward, trying to lessen the pain.
“Want to die?
That would be too easy for you!”
Huo Yirong released his grip, then kicked her.
“Boom!”
That kick had all his strength behind it.
Huo Zhi was kicked in the chest, flung against the wall of the corridor.
“Cough, cough…” She clutched at her chest, coughing softly.
The taste of blood began to fill her mouth.
The Second Master was terrifying when truly angered.
Struggling to her feet again, Huo Zhi knelt on the ground, facing the dark-looking handsome man at the door.
Huo Yirong was holding an elegant, silver gun that seemed to appear out of nowhere.
His eyes lowered, an annoyed gaze on the weapon in his hand.
Huo Qiang observing all this knew that Huo Zhi was likely to become a cripple after today’s ordeal.
A crisp sound echoed.
It was the sound of a bullet being loaded into the gun.
Huo Qiang stepped forward the moment the gun was loaded.
He knelt before Huo Yirong, “Second Master, it is indeed Huo Zhi’s fault for the mishap involving Miss Su.
She cannot escape blame for her oversight.
However, the entire matter is too complex.
Please, allow her a chance to redeem herself.”
“Oh?” Huo Yirong’s eyes, dark and profound, bore into Huo Qiang without emotion.
A slight smile crept on his face, indicating his interest in whatever ‘complexity’ Huo Qiang had hinted at.
Huo Qiang bowed his head, his tone humble and respectful, “Second Master, Miss Su has been having an affair with her bodyguard.
Huo Zhi has been following her orders and shadowing Miss Su for a long time.
However, when Miss Su enters the Su Family Mansion, Huo Zhi is unable to uncover any valuable information.”
“The bodyguard ?” said Huo Yirong with an inscrutable expression.
“Yes, Miss Su has been pregnant for three months.
I suspect the Su Family may be aware of this.
Therefore, Huo Zhi’s crime is not deserving of death.”
“Slap!”
The moment words left Huo Qiang’s mouth, a slap met his face.
“Old Qiang, you’ve overstepped your bounds.”
Huo Yirong withdrew his hand, his previously present gun now nowhere in sight.
He crossed his arms, looking coldly at Huo Qiang and Huo Zhi who was kneeling before him.
Both were leaders of the Hidden Department, chosen only after rigorous scrutiny and therefore they excelled in all eighteen martial arts skills.
Their athletic abilities and intellect were top-notch.
Huo Qiang was a servant, yet he now dared challenge the honor of the Huo Family to save Huo Zhi – if that wasn’t overstepping his boundaries, what was?
The connection between the Huo Family and the Su Family wasn’t deep – marriage was simply a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Whenever Su Jingshu was around Huo Zhi, having an affair with her bodyguard under her nose meant they were meeting in a perfectly safe location.
Huo Zhi wasn’t allowed to enter the Su Mansion.
Besides the Su Mansion, there was no other place that assured Su Jingshu and her bodyguard absolute safety.
By hooking up with her bodyguard in the Su Mansion, how could the Su Family not know about it?
This wasn’t Su Jingshu challenging Huo Yirong’s bottom line – it was the entire Su Family challenging the authority of the Huo Family.
Huo Qiang, unrestrained, had drawn attention to Su Family’s disrespect of Huo Family’s authority.
The second master of the Huo Family, also being the manager of HEA Group and the Hidden Department, would naturally understand the intricacies involved, but he didn’t allow such basic logic to come from Huo Qiang who was trying to save Huo Zhi.
If not for, ‘Huo Zhi’s crime does not warrant death’, perhaps the Second Master wouldn’t have been so furious.
Regret washed over Huo Qiang’s face briefly; he had acted out of complete despair.
“I have erred, please punish me, Second Master!”
Huo Yirong’s eyes were dark and dangerous, “No punishment is needed for now; we will need your help in the next few days, the Punishment Hall can wait.
Punish yourself.”
