Chapter 684: Telling The Truth
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“You don’t have to continue pretending. Since I dared to come and look for you today, it means that I already know everything you’ve done.” Elder Qiao’s eyes were filled with confidence, and every word seemed powerful. “Tell me, why did you do such a traitorous thing and choose to cooperate with Duo Feng?”
At this point, Elder Hu knew that he could not hide it anymore.
Faced with Elder Qiao’s question, he could only choose to tell him everything. Just as he had said, he had a family now and someone he cared about. Of course, it was the stupidest choice to fight to the death.
“It’s very simple. It’s because of Young Master Ye’s decision that 1 feel that he’s no longer suitable to continue being the leader of the mercenary group. If this continues, our group will sooner or later be stepped on by our former enemies.”
Things had already developed to this point. Elder Hu said, “It just so happened that I met Duo Feng by chance. After talking to him, we had such a cooperation…”
“Alright, it’s all in the past. I don’t want to hear you tell me so many details about the two of you.”
Before the other party could finish speaking, Elder Qiao immediately interrupted him. “Since what you did in the past was all because of your misunderstanding of Young Master Ye, the misunderstanding has been resolved. You just have to tell me one thing. Do you want to turn over a new leaf and continue working for Young Master Ye, or are you on our opposite side?”
“Of course it’s Young Master Ye’s side.” Without any hesitation, Elder Hu immediately shouted.
However, after shouting, he seemed to have thought of something and his tone became very unconfident. “But can Young Master Ye still accept me? Everyone in the team knows that his bottom line is betrayal. I’m afraid it’s impossible to go back to the past after doing such a thing.”
“You’re right. What he hates is indeed betrayal, but aren’t you at the stage of turning over a new leaf now? As long as you don’t have any crooked thoughts next, Young Master Ye won’t make things difficult for his own people.”
Elder Qiao finished the half cup of tea that was almost cold on the table and slowly stood up to pat his shoulder. “But what I’m saying is also a good part. Since you have the thought of betrayal, you definitely can’t not be punished at all.”
Elder Hu promised, “It’s fine. As long as Young Master Ye can forget about the past and accept me again, it’s my duty.”
“Then I’ll boldly make a decision for Young Master Ye. In view of Elder Hu’s suspicion of colluding with the enemy, he stopped our losses in time and turned over a new leaf. In the end, we didn’t cause any disaster. Therefore, we’ll remove you as one of the five elders as a warning.”
After Elder Qiao finished speaking, he turned to look at the hidden camera in the room and asked with a smile, “Young Master Ye, there’s no problem with my decision?”
Right on the heels of that, the camera started to shake up and down, representing that Ye Ying, who was in the room, agreed with Elder Qiao.
“This is…”
When Elder Hu saw everything in front of him, he understood that although he had carefully checked every corner where the cameras might be placed when he entered this room, he still couldn’t avoid being monitored at all times.
However, all of this was no longer important. He no longer had to live in the shadows and fear every day like a thief. He no longer had to worry about his family being threatened and hurt after doing unfaithful things.
The atmosphere in the room fell silent. Elder Qiao could imagine his current mood, so he did not say anything and just waited quietly at the side.
The two of them sat like this for a long time. Elder Hu, who had finally recovered, opened his mouth regretfully. “Elder Qiao, all of this is because I was possessed. Next, I’ll use my practical actions to prove my determination. I’ll have to trouble you to tell Young Master Ye to watch my performance.”
“It’s good enough that you can say something like that. Everything has to be done slowly.”
The smile on Elder Qiao’s face was very gratifying. “It’s just that I don’t have to convey these words for you anymore. Young Master Ye can clearly understand everything we do here now. He can hear what you just said..”
