"I have nothing to say!"
Hei glanced at Cao Ying, shaking his head quickly!
Previously, Hei had indeed taken a stand, so it’s normal to face punishment now because he truly didn’t complete the task...
Cao Ying looked deeply at Hei and said, "Since you have nothing to say, I’ll announce the punishment now! From now on, take your two subordinates and retreat to the back mountain for reflection. I’ll notify you when you can return. Until I notify you, you are not allowed to leave the back mountain. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing Cao Ying’s words, Hei took a deep breath and nervously said, "Family Head, I have no objection to retreating for reflection, but can we have a chance for redemption?"
"Indeed! Family Head, we truly wish to serve the family."
Upon hearing Hei’s words, the two subordinates raised their heads and looked at Cao Ying with great enthusiasm.
They knew they had to show their determination as much as possible now, otherwise, they would really be confined.
Cao Ying furrowed his brow upon hearing this...
Just as he was about to say something, the person next to him spoke up, "Family Head, Hei had previously made a pledge, so he should have completed the task. Now that he hasn’t, it’s only right he faces punishment. Your decision for them to reflect is perfectly fine, but the family really needs people at the moment, so I believe we can postpone the punishment a bit."
"I think so too, but that’s just our personal opinion. Ultimately, the decision is yours!"
Cao Ying squinted at them.
Cao Ying knew that they had a good relationship with Hei, so insisting on punishing Hei now would definitely cause them to have some complaints against him.
"It’s not worth offending them for such a person!"
Realizing their significant influence in the family, Cao Ying made his judgment.
With a gentle cough, he looked at the somewhat anxious Hei and said, "Since the elders have interceded for you, I’ll give you one last chance for redemption, but this is the final opportunity. If you don’t seize it, I will certainly add more to your punishment. Understand my meaning?"
"Yes! I understand! I understand!"
Hei responded excitedly...
At this moment, Hei was especially grateful to the two elders, knowing their intervention helped him.
Otherwise, he would indeed be heading to the barren back mountain for reflection.
"As long as you understand!"
Having said that, Cao Ying glanced at Hei and said, "Now go and find Cao Wei for me!"
"Family Head, why find Cao Wei?"
Hei hesitated for a moment and quickly responded.
If Cao Ying had asked him to find someone else, he wouldn’t dare to question. But now he’s asked for Cao Wei, he must ask because he truly harbors a grudge against Cao Wei.
If it’s unnecessary, he really doesn’t want to see that nauseating presence.
Cao Ying looked at Hei and said coldly, "What? Do I need to explain what I ask you to do? Are you the Family Head, or am I the Family Head?"
At this moment, Cao Ying was particularly displeased...
He felt Hei was really being presumptuous, daring to question him directly!
At this moment, the two elders also furrowed their brows!
They also felt Hei shouldn’t have asked in this manner.
Feeling their anger, Hei quickly said, "Family Head, I... I didn’t mean it that way, I just wanted to ask clearly!"
"In the future, don’t ask about such things. Now go and call Cao Wei for me!"
"Yes!"
Agreeing, Hei turned and left.
The two subordinates quickly followed without hesitation.
They knew it would be more awkward to stay here if Hei left, so they were determined to follow...
...
"Big brother, why would the Family Head ask us to find Cao Wei!"
