Chapter 747: At Door
Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Surely, as fellow human beings, the Shao Family would spare their lives even if they did not offer forgiveness, right? It was unimaginable that they would resort to such extreme measures.
County Magistrate Qiao’s actions were pushing the Zhao Family to the brink of destruction, akin to being backed against a precipice.
Madame Zhao, overcome with panic, directed her curses at County Magistrate Qiao and the Shao Family. Desperately, she pleaded, “Your father is not here. You must find a solution! Our family will become a laughingstock if we are surrounded by government officials!”
Zhao Guangyin cast a disappointed gaze upon his mother, shaking his head in resignation. He turned away and departed.
His disappointment grew even deeper.
His mother seemed oblivious to the gravity of the situation, fixated instead on the family’s reputation.
While Zhao Guangyin was still simmering with annoyance, the guards abruptly stormed in, attempting to apprehend Zhao Guanghua.
Zhao Guanghua was the weakest link, prone to troublemaking and exhibiting careless behavior. His numerous flaws made him an easy target.
In the past, the Zhao Family’s immense wealth and their association with County Magistrate Qiao shielded them from any consequences, preventing anyone from raising objections to Zhao Guanghua’s misconduct.
When Officer Qiao made the decision to have him arrested, there were numerous justifications at his disposal, and it was up to him to choose which one to employ against Zhao Guanghua.
Madame Zhao cried out in desperation, attempting to intervene and halt the proceedings, but her pleas fell on deaf ears. The guards were under strict orders, and they paid no heed to Madame Zhao’s words.
Zhao Guanghua had been brazenly boasting and issuing threats, exclaiming, “Just wait and see! I’ll have you all killed!” However, these words only further incensed the guards, solidifying their determination to bring misery upon him. They swiftly bound his hands behind his back and escorted him away, showing no sympathy for his pleas.
It was only then that fear engulfed Zhao Guanghua, and he cried out loudly, desperately calling for his mother and brother to come to his aid.
Madame Zhao’s cries were filled with anguish as tears streamed down her
face.
The mansion descended into chaos…
“Guangyin, Guangyin, please save your brother! Hurry, save him!” Madame
Zhao pleaded, gasping for breath as she desperately clung to her son’s sleeves.
“He has been spoiled all his life and has never endured such suffering!’
Zhao Guangyin felt a profound weariness. He instructed his wife and maidservants to assist his mother back to her room, recognizing that she needed to regain her composure.
He was determined to find a solution to save the Zhao Family, as its fate seemed destined for ruin.
Upon receiving the letter from home, the Old Master Zhao finally returned.
Furious, Old Master Zhao hurriedly returned home, only to be intercepted and escorted away by the guards stationed at the door.
Old Master Zhao seethed with anger. Those very people who had once treated him with kindness, hoping to gain favors and tips from him, were now treating him with such disdain?
Moreover, Officer Qiao had benefited greatly from his association with Old Master Zhao, yet he was now intent on bringing him down?
County Magistrate Qiao, driven by his desire for wealth and to do Shao Yunduan a favor, had made the decision to sever their ties completely, showing no mercy.
Before long, Old Master Zhao was forcibly taken away by the guards, finally reuniting with his younger son.
Old Master Zhao had already been taken away, and by the time Zhao Guangyin reached the doorstep, it was too late.
A deep sense of despair washed over Zhao Guangyin’s heart, plunging it into the depths of despair.
It appeared that Officer Qiao had no intention of forgiving or sparing the Zhao Family.
Despite Zhao Guangyin’s innocence and lack of wrongdoing, it no longer mattered.
His father and brother were now captured, and it was only a matter of time before he would be as well.
Even though he had committed no wrongdoing, being the eldest son of the
Zhao Family meant he could never escape the consequences that befell them..
