Chapter 1281: The Huo Family Is Exterminated (3)
“Remember, once you get away you must hide carefully. Don’t think about revenge. It’s not something that you can achieve. Preserve the Huo family bloodline. You are still young, and you will have plenty of opportunities in the future. Our Huo family must have descendants.”
Huo Tianxiang was too shocked to speak.
He had not dreamt that his own father would make a decision like this.
Members of the Huo family had always been very despicable. He knew that all too well.
His father was selfish and shameless. He had so many illegitimate sons, but he never cared whether they lived or died. The sons fought tooth and nail over the family business, but he continued to ignore them, have affairs, and have more sons.
He thought that his father was the most selfish, heartless and shallow person in the world.
He had not expected that, now, his father would use his own life to give him a small chance of escaping.
“Then… what about Tianning? He…”
“He will remain here with me to shield you!”
Huo Tianxiang was incredulous.
Huo Lin said, “Tianning is not as intelligent as you. Besides, he was the one who directly acted against Gu Qingyao. Mo Beihan hates him the most. He will never get away. Besides, with his brains, he will be useless even if he gets away. He will not give the Huo family any hope.
“It’s better for you to leave! You’re so intelligent. Our Huo family has groomed you to be the successor for so many years. If you can survive, we might have a chance of making a comeback someday.”
Huo Tianxiang did not want to die. If Huo Lin made such a decision, he would not reject it.
So he discussed it with Huo Lin and then snuck away that night.
Mo Beihan had been paying close attention to the Huo family!
The capital was Mo Beihan’s territory, and he was in control of every move that the Huo family made. Mo Beihan received the news when Huo Tianxiang fled.
Mo Beihan would never show mercy to a person who had plotted against Gu Qingyao.
That included Huo Tianning. As Huo Lin said, he had only given him a severe beating and forced him to marry Ye Yihong. On the surface, he had vented his anger, but that was just a show for the public. In private, Mo Beihan had never intended to let them off.
If his Yao Yao had not been so clever, who knows how that bastard might have hurt her?
In their previous lives, his Yao Yao’s life had been destroyed by someone’s scheme. So Mo Beihan hated those who used such despicable methods to plot against Gu Qingyao. He had already secretly gotten rid of Gu Ruoqing and Zhang Xiaohui when they fled the capital.
They died terrible deaths!
His Yao Yao had suffered in the past. He would exact tenfold or hundredfold revenge.
Now, it was the same for Huo Tianxiang!
But before Mo Beihan could act, Feng Xun brought a piece of news. Feng Xun’s expression was rather… odd!
“Master, something unexpected happened…”
Mo Beihan scowled, his anger rising. “What happened?”
“Huo Lin had personally disposed of Huo Tianxiang as a guarantee that he will also get rid of Huo Tianning. He only asks that Master spares his life.”
Mo Beihan: “…”
There was a long silence in the study. Mo Beihan laughed coldly – disdainfully and mockingly!
Feng Xun said, “Huo Lin begged me on his knees, which is equivalent to begging you, Master. He wept bitterly and said that he did not know that his two rebellious sons, Huo Tianxiang and Huo Tianning, plotted against our Madam. Now that he has discovered what a grave mistake they have made, he will not forgive them. He will personally dispose of them so that you do not have to sully your hands. He only asks that you will consider the fact that he has not shielded his own family and show mercy to him, a pitiful cur!”
