Chapter 1671: Chapter 1670: Dying a Hundred Times Is Not Enough
The old man raised his hand slightly, speaking with authority, "You don’t need to say anything anymore. I know everything now. Ye Gumming, oh Ye Gumming, it seems you’re not just old and confused! You’re downright wicked! How could you do such things? The Ye Family is bringing about its own destruction!"
"Teacher!" Ye Gumming immediately knelt down, panicking in his defense, "You have to believe us, we really haven’t done those things, we’ve been wronged!"
The old man was furious, "At this point, you still won’t admit it! All the evidence has been handed over. Your collusion with the Ansheng Group, what were you really thinking? You think I don’t know?! I’ve never been unkind to the Ye Family, and yet you are still unsatisfied! Being unsatisfied is one thing, but to dare to collude with such an organization, endangering the country and its people, your crimes are such that dying a hundred times wouldn’t be enough!"
Ye Gumming’s eyes widened with shock, and even Ye Hong was equally shocked, her face extremely pale.
"Teacher, I really didn’t want this to happen!" Ye Gumming immediately burst into tears, "In the beginning, it was due to temptation that I agreed to cooperate with them. I never thought of harming the country and people! Later, I was trapped on a sinking ship and couldn’t escape, forced into doing it. Teacher, I know I’m wrong, we really know we’re wrong, please give us one more chance!"
Ye Hong also suddenly knelt down in tears.
At this moment, begging for mercy was truly their only option.
When they came, they thought they had some hope, but seeing the old man’s attitude now, they knew their hope was slim.
So now they could only beg for mercy, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.
"Give you a chance? Then when you did those things, endangered so many people, why didn’t you think of giving them a chance?! Ye Gumming, not even the gods can save you this time!" the old man said angrily, hating the iron for not becoming steel.
Ye Gumming was even more regretful, he knelt forward a few steps to plead, "Teacher, I really know my mistake! You cannot just stand by and leave us to die, even if it’s for Nianzu’s sake, you can’t just let us die..."
It was better if he didn’t mention Ye Nianzu, because the moment he did, the old man found them even more unforgivable.
He looked at Ye Gumming in anguish, "You have the nerve to bring that up! Did you really think you could fool everyone with the vile deeds you’ve done, that I would never find out?!"
What?!
Ye Gumming looked up, shocked, his face turning deathly pale.
He... knew everything?
How could this be?!
The old man closed his eyes, pained, "How could you do such a thing, that’s your nephew too, and for the sake of profit, you even exchanged children, willing to use even your own son, you truly are heartless!"
Ye Gumming collapsed into a sitting position, incredulous, asking, "You... know everything?"
"Yes, I know everything, as the saying goes, ’If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it yourself!’"
"..."
The old man quickly regained his composure, saying in judgment, "Ye Gumming, no one can save you this time. And I share the blame; rest assured, after punishing you, I will choose to resign. Let the law decide your crimes!"
"No, Teacher!" Ye Gumming hurriedly cried, kowtowing, "Teacher, you can’t do this to us! Although we exchanged children, we have not treated that child harshly. He’s now in a secret place,
