“Asleep?”
Hearing Liu An’s words, the brothers Han Zongshu and Han Zongyi exchanged glances. Han Zongyi said, “It’s fine, we can wait here!”
“This…”
Liu An looked at the two young masters whose intentions were unclear, opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Finally, he could only say helplessly, “Alright then, you two young masters wait here. I still have some things to attend to, so I’ll get busy first!”
After Liu An left, Han Zongshu cast a cold glance at his third brother, gritted his teeth, and lowered his voice, “When we came, didn’t we agree that we wouldn’t let that old man trample on us anymore? How can you still be so spineless? As soon as you heard that old man was asleep, you didn’t dare to disturb him!”
“If you had the guts, why didn’t you say a word just now? At least I said something. What about you?” Han Zongyi looked coldly at his elder brother, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
“I…”
Han Zongshu opened his mouth to retort but didn’t know how to continue. In the entire Han family, their father, Han Guangyao, was definitely an emperor-level figure. No one had ever dared to disobey him since childhood. Anyone who dared to defy him was almost always dealt with terribly, which had created psychological shadows for everyone. Currently, all the assets and shares in the family business were still in their father’s hands. These sons, though already of considerable age, were actually paupers, not even a fraction of their old father’s wealth. As their father’s age grew, everyone in the Han family served him cautiously, for fear that he would be displeased and revoke their inheritance eligibility. If that happened, they wouldn’t even have a place to cry. The best example was recent events. Two illegitimate children suddenly appeared. In Han Guangyao’s own words, he wasn’t worried about having no one to inherit his legacy. Anyone who dared to disrespect him was essentially saying goodbye to money, and they should think carefully about it! In the stifling atmosphere, the two unfortunate brothers felt bitter. In this world, there were probably no men more pathetic than them, were there? Their own wives were cuckolding them, and they already knew who the culprit was, yet they dared not seek revenge. If this were to get out, it would shock the world. They waited for over three hours. The two brothers didn’t even eat lunch, just sat there blankly in the reception hall. Finally, Liu An, who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared. He cautiously said to the two brothers, “The master is awake. He’s asking for you.” Han Zongshu and Han Zongyi jolted, and followed Liu An through the long corridor to the backyard. As soon as they entered, they saw their old father sitting majestically in a grand armchair, and on the ground, a figure covered in blood and riddled with wounds was kneeling. Han Zongshu and Han Zongyi were startled when they recognized the kneeling person’s face. “Uncle Kong, what happened to you?” “Dad, Uncle Kong he…” On the armchair, Han Guangyao was like an enraged lion, his eyes burning with anger, holding a bloody leather whip in his hand. “Zongshu, Zongyi, you’re here!” Seeing his two sons, Han Guangyao’s fierce gaze softened considerably, with a hint of hidden guilt, which was immediately replaced by rage. “Do you know why I took medicine? I was infuriated by this old fellow!” “He actually hid such a rebellious act from me. After all these years of trust!” Han Guangyao scolded loudly, while Kong Nanchao, kneeling on the ground covered in blood, trembled uncontrollably. “Master, I’ve wronged you!” “Young masters, I’ve wronged you too!” “It was just a moment of delusion, I couldn’t resist the temptation of my inner demons, and did such a shameful thing. I am willing to use my old life to atone for this mistake!” As Kong Nanchao spoke, he turned and repeatedly kowtowed to the brothers Han Zongshu and Han Zongyi. This scene completely bewildered the brothers, their faces filled with confusion. “Zongshu, and Zongyi!” Han Guangyao sighed deeply, “Dad won’t hide anything from you. Ever since those photos of our family were first exposed, I’ve been investigating the truth of all this. It wasn’t until these photos were exposed this morning that this old fellow couldn’t withstand my pressure and completely confessed to me that he did it all!” “All these years, I trusted Uncle Kong so much, entrusting everything to him. I never expected that he would abuse his power, indulge his selfish desires, and have the audacity to lay hands on Yaqin and Meijuan!” BOOM!! When Han Guangyao finished speaking, Han Zongshu and Han Zongyi finally came back to their senses. The brothers exchanged glances, their bodies trembling, their faces filled with disbelief. From their father’s words, they finally learned that the mastermind behind all this was their most trusted and respected Uncle Kong, Kong Nanchao. “Young masters, I’ve wronged you! I’ve wronged you! It was the beauty of the two ladies that blinded my mind, leading me to do such a shameful thing.” “I am willing to bear any price for my actions!” BANG BANG BANG!!! Kong Nanchao, kneeling on the ground, cried out loudly while repeatedly banging his head on the floor. In an instant, the floor was covered in crimson bloodstains, a shocking sight. Han Zongyi was the first to react. He grabbed Kong Nanchao by the collar with one hand, forcibly lifting him from the ground, his expression extremely ferocious. “What did you just say? You did all this?” Kong Nanchao’s face was covered in blood and his appearance was pitiful, but he quickly said, “That’s right, I did all this. Over the years, I’ve relied on the power given to me by the master, acting recklessly, amassing wealth and women. The women in our company were all brought to my bed through various means.” “Originally, I didn’t have designs on the two ladies, but who asked them to discover my secret? I had no choice but to deal with them too, and then take compromising photos to threaten them!” The more Kong Nanchao spoke, the more fluent and natural he became. In the end, he simply let go completely and laughed loudly. BANG!! Han Zongyi, unable to control the malice within him any longer, punched Kong Nanchao’s nose, sending him flying backward, blood splattering. “You old beast, I’ll kill you! Kill you!!” Drowned in overwhelming anger, Han Zongyi punched and kicked Kong Nanchao, who had fallen to the ground. Han Zongshu, standing by, also joined the beating. The brothers unleashed all their anger and ferocity on the blood-soaked Kong Nanchao lying on the ground. This scene even startled Han Guangyao. It was the first time he had seen… After an unknown amount of time, the brothers were forcibly held back by the arriving bodyguards, and they reluctantly stopped. However, Kong Nanchao on the ground was in a terrible state. He had been beaten beyond recognition, lying motionless in a pool of blood. “Master, he’s still breathing!” A bodyguard quickly ran to Kong Nanchao in the pool of blood and checked his breath. “Quick, send him to the hospital at once!” Han Guangyao said anxiously. “Don’t take this old fellow away, I want to beat him to death! Beat him to death!!” The brothers Han Zongshu and Han Zongyi were like madmen, still unwilling to stop. Fortunately, the bodyguards restrained them, otherwise, in their fury, the brothers would have truly beaten Kong Nanchao to death.
