Chapter 242 (1/2)
However, that Du ZhongXin did not say a word, lowering his head with two trails of tears flowing down.
After panting for a moment, Ling Zhan glared at Du ZhongXin once more before walking to the second prisoner carriage.
In this carriage, a middle-aged lady could be seen. From her silhouette, one could tell that this middle-aged lady was definitely a pretty lady. However, she was presently dispirited with a face full of dust and her hair all messed up. She no longer had her usual elegance!
Looking at the lady in the carriage, Ling Zhan bellowed, ”Yang XianXian, what do you have to say?”
That middle-aged lady looked up and looked at Ling Zhan with her lifeless eyes before replying in a hoa.r.s.e voice, ”This s.l.u.t knows that I have let you and the Ling Family down. I have nothing to say and seek a swift death!”
Ling Zhan nodded his head slowly as his gaze turned stern, ”Good! You actually dare say that you have nothing to say! Yang XianXian, I saved you from the hands of a bunch of robbers who were about to gang rape you back then. Because you had the surname of Yang, almost everyone objected to keeping you with me. However, this old man took pity on you and kept you despite the disagreements. Today, after betraying me and the Ling Family, you have nothing else to say?!”
Following which, Ling Zhan continued walking forward, not saying a thing as he walked past the carriages. However, the grief in his eyes only grew deeper with each step. Ling Tian had already got off his horse, following closely behind his grandfather. If his grandfather were to be overly agitated, things could get bad!
Finally, Ling Zhan stopped in front of a carriage with his burly body trembling slightly. His eyes were filled with hatred but yet pity, disgust but yet apprehension. In the carriage lay Ling Kong! Foster son of Ling Zhan, the fifth in command in the Ling Family!
”Foster father, foster father, save me. Please spare me, I…” before Ling Zhan could finish his sentence, Ling Kong had already begun shouting.
”Ling Kong, how has this father treated you over the years?” Ling Tian could hear that Ling Zhan's voice was already trembling. Perhaps it was out of habit, but Ling Zhan still referred to himself as 'this father'. Despite knowing that Ling Kong was a spy sent over by Yang KongQun, despite knowing that Ling Kong was the culprit who almost caused him to have no grandchildren, despite knowing that he was a traitor, Ling Zhan was still…
Ling Tian let out a soft sigh; perhaps the only reason why Ling Zhan was so successful was because of his straightforwardness and kindness.
”Foster father's kindness towards me is like a mountain! This child dare not forget it!” Ling Kong began to weep, ”It is just that this child did not have a choice and have let down foster father and the Ling Family.” Ling Kong sobbed bitterly, as though he was truly regretful about what he had done, ”Foster father, this child is regretful. From today on, I will never allow myself to be controlled by others. I am willing to be an oxen or horse for the Ling Family…”
”Chi…” Ling Tian began to sneer, ”Ling Kong, after acting for more than a decade, I have to admit that your acting skills are really outstanding, fooling almost everyone in the family. I am curious, are you not tired? Even if you aren't tired, I am irritated by your act!”
Ling Zhan shook his aged head, ”It's too late. If you confessed to me before all of this, this old man would have definitely given you a path to live even if everyone in the family objected! But now, it is too late.”
Ling Kong then looked towards Ling Tian with a vicious and sinister glare. He then turned towards Ling Zhan and shouted, ”Foster father, you are being fooled! This brat is the one who is trying to lay a trap for you! Back then, I fed Chu Ting'er, that s.l.u.t, the heir severing gra.s.s and it was impossible for her to conceive. Who knows where this little b*st*rd came from! Foster father, you must investigate the matter clearly! You must not fall into his despicable plans! The foundations of the Ling Family…” Peng!
Before Ling Kong could finish what he had to say, the enraged Ling Tian had already sent his foot out, breaking the wooden grills of the carriage and kicking Ling Kong in the lips. Ling Kong then flew into the air with his mouth wide open as a mouthful of blood, with a few teeth mixed within it, sprayed out.
When Ling Kong began shouting, Old Madam Ling, Ling Xiao, and Chu Ting'er could hear it clearly. A dense killing intent then shot out from their eyes! Who would have thought this sc.u.m would still try to frame Ling Tian before his death, sowing discord in the family!
”Don't beat my father!” From afar, an enraged roar could be heard. In the Ling Family's troops, a fellow who was tied up like a dumpling struggled his way over. After walking a mere two steps, he was kicked ruthlessly by a guard beside him, smas.h.i.+ng into the ground pathetically. He was Ling Kong's son, Ling Zhen!
