Chapter 711: Chapter 711
Xue Yunxiang trembled all over.
He knew he had made a mistake.
He immediately begged for mercy, saying:
"Dad, I didn’t do it on purpose, I was just so angry at Zhou Yu, please dad, forgive me this once..."
Xue Changjiang’s rage did not subside in the least; he rushed over and picked up Xue Yunxiang.
"I have never told you about the Black Domain, how did you find out?"
"You better tell me the truth, if you hide the slightest bit, I will chop you alive!"
Xue Yunxiang had never seen his father like this in his life.
He trembled as he said:
"Dad, I...I...I overheard it by chance..."
"When? Where?" Xue Changjiang looked as though he was ready to devour someone, pressing for answers.
"It was three days ago, as I was passing by your study... I heard you say... to find a Black Domain Assassin... to kill a minister of the Martial Pavilion..."
Upon hearing this, Xue Changjiang’s face, originally full of wrath, suddenly changed.
Agreeing to Zhou Yu’s terms in exchanging the southern district’s base mineral field for Xue Yunxiang was not merely because Xue Yunxiang was his son.
As he had said before, he had many sons, and Xue Yunxiang was just one of them; he was not worth exchanging a mineral field for.
The reason that had finally made him resolute about the exchange was the Black Domain.
This matter was of the utmost importance and had to be kept absolutely secret.
He never imagined that his son, Xue Yunxiang, would know about the Black Domain.
This matter was too big, and no mishaps could be permitted.
Therefore, Xue Changjiang had no choice but to agree to the conditions proposed by He Xu.
At this very moment, his gaze toward his son, Xue Yunxiang, had turned from furious to a cold intent to kill.
Smack!
He slapped Xue Yunxiang’s face fiercely.
"You deserve to die..."
"Who the hell allowed you to eavesdrop!"
This slap sent Xue Yunxiang flying.
"Ahhhhh——"
Xue Yunxiang screamed miserably on the ground.
Just then, an indifferent voice suddenly rang out.
"Director Xue, what shall be done for your son’s unacceptable disclosure of the Black Domain?"
Upon hearing this voice, Xue Yunxiang was scared stiff.
He seemed to forget his pain, looking around with wide-eyed terror, yet he could not locate the source of the voice.
However, his father, Xue Changjiang, appeared to be not very surprised by the voice.
Xue Changjiang took a deep breath and said:
"He did not disclose the Black Domain’s affairs, he only uttered the words ’Black Domain’. Mr. Mao, can you give him a lighter punishment?"
"Is that so?"
The indifferent voice sounded again.
Immediately after, a terrifying aura descended instantly, enveloping Xue Yunxiang.
At that moment, Xue Yunxiang’s mind went blank; he felt as if he had been plunged into hell in an instant. The boundless darkness and cold made his soul tremble.
"Have you disclosed the affairs of the ’Black Domain’ to the outside world?"
A cold voice echoed in Xue Yunxiang’s mind.
Xue Yunxiang nearly lost consciousness, he instinctively answered:
"I... didn’t..."
"I didn’t say anything..."
"Has anyone asked you about the ’Black Domain’?"
"No, nobody asked!"
After answering these two questions, the terrifying aura enveloping Xue Yunxiang receded like a tide.
By the time Xue Yunxiang regained his senses, he realized he had collapsed on the ground, his body soaked in cold sweat.
He could not muster any strength at all.
It was as though something had sucked away all his energy.
At this moment, the cold voice resounded again:
"Director Xue, although your son did not reveal the affairs of the Black Domain, the mere revelation of the two words ’Black Domain’ is also worthy of severe punishment."
"What do you think should be done?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Changjiang looked towards Xue Yunxiang, now collapsed on the ground.
His eyes were filled with a deep chill.
Xue Yunxiang panicked.
He never imagined that just by uttering those two words, he would face such a dreadful penalty.
Xue Yunxiang seemed to realize that something bad was going to happen, trembling all over, his eyes full of pleading, he said:
"Dad, I was wrong!"
"I was... really wrong!"
"Please, I beg you, spare me..."
Xue Changjiang, however, slowly said:
"Yunxiang, for the rest of your life, remember this lesson well."
Having said that, he closed his eyes.
"Mr. Mao, I leave him to you. Spare his life, the rest is up to you."
"Hehehe..."
"The leak regarding the Black Domain would have meant that your Xue Family had to bear all the responsibility and punishment, but considering that the leak was minor and given Director Xue’s attitude of sacrificing his son for the greater good, I will report this to the elders and advocate for a lighter punishment."
With these words, an eerie laugh ensued.
Xue Yunxiang’s face changed drastically, he was about to cry for help, but as he opened his mouth, he was hit by a terrifying Gang Jin.
Crack!
In an instant, all the meridians and bones in his body shattered.
In Xue Yunxiang’s pupils, extreme pain showed, yet he could not make a sound.
The next moment, his consciousness plunged into darkness.
When Xue Changjiang opened his eyes again, Xue Yunxiang was nowhere to be seen, only a pool of blood remained on the ground.
A flash of fear passed through Xue Changjiang’s eyes, then the fear turned into hatred.
"Zhou Yu!"
"Things owned by Xue Changjiang aren’t that easy to take."
"You made me lose a son, I will make you lose your woman..."
Xue Changjiang’s face was distorted with rage, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
He picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Mr. Fang, please come over to my place."
