How can Xing Bengt understand that the chief wasn’t pushing him? It was him who started everything, he was the one who chased after a woman he shouldn’t have, nor he should have tried to force himself on her and when he was caught, he should have accepted the matter as it was and just let it go. But he was bent on making it bigger and bigger until it could no longer be controlled.
”Chief——”
” Xing Bengt, you will be releasing your apology to the public on the execution ground just before your execution.” said The Yamen Chief who looked away from Xing Bengt’s face, he was the son of his good friend and of course, it was downright hurtful for him to watch this child whom he watched grow up but this matter was no longer in his hands. Young master Huo’s frame and power were not something that he could go against, and neither could he save Xing Bengt from Lord Fei’s wrath who was backing the Lin Family. It was clear that even if he didn’t give out the order, Lord Fei might actually have the Emperor write it down, no one was unaware of Lord Fei’s power in the imperial court. It was said that in the imperial court you can offend the Emperor once and yet somehow manage to escape with your life but in case one offended Lord Fei, this great Buddha that the Emperor respected a lot then even God cannot save that man. ” Your execution is three days later, you can think of an apology by then.”
Think of an apology? F*ck this! He was going to die and yet he has to write an apology? Does that mean he has to agonise on this matter even in his death? Doesn’t it mean that even his death was going to be embarrassing? He didn’t want to! ” No, Yamen Chief. You can’t do this to me! I know I was at fault but I am still young, I can learn from this matter and become a good human, why do you have to do something like this to me? Don’t give me such a heavy punishment! I … I can compensate them..how about that?”
When Yamen Chief didn’t say anything, Xing Bengt turn to Lin Chen as he anxiously shouted, ” Lin Chen don’t be so cruel to me, alright? Why don’t we settle this matter in private? You have already heard that I am going to be executed no matter what so why don’t you let go of this matter? At least let me die with some dignity intact…if I apologise to you, then—— then the public will spit on my name even after my death!! See, I have accepted my death already so why not let me go?”
Lin Chen was so furious that he wanted to punch Xing Bengt, let him go? If he let him go then who was going to let him go? ” F*ck Xing Bengt! Can’t you be so disgusting? You added poison to my products, and even left me to suffer, if Karma didn’t bite your ass you would have silently stood by the side and watched my family suffer right? Even if we were executed you wouldn’t have come forward to clear this matter right? Now that you are caught, you want me to forgive you? Why don’t you tell me how will I ask forgiveness from my customers who got hurt because of you? If you won’t clarify then who will?”
Xing Bengt was speechless, he was already facing execution—— and yet Lin Chen was being so hardhearted to him. If this goes on then—— ” Lin Chen! Do you really have to be so cruel?” shouted Xing Bengt as his back started sweating crazily, right now he was regretting his decision to corner Lin Chen, this guy and his family—— they really didn’t know any fear! They actually went to such limits to get even with him! ” I am already going to die! Why can’t you just let me die peacefully? At least show some humanity to me at my last moments——”
”Who are you shouting at?”Su Wan, who already had enough of Xing Bengt, immediately stepped forward courageously and shouted back, ” Did my husband ask you to add that poison to our products? Did he ask you to go against us? Did he ask you to think of such a rotten plan? No, right then why are you asking my husband to forgive you? Have you done anything to get his forgiveness? Xing Bengt doesn’t be so thick-skinned! Forgiveness is earned not given, and since you can’t do that, you are shouting at my husband? Who gave you the guts to? Even I don’t dare to scold him with such a loud voice, how dare you use that tone with my husband?”
Before Xing Bengt could finish speaking, Su Wan retaliated against him so bad that he was completely speechless. In the end, he couldn’t say anything and the Lin Family simply left the Yamen office ignoring the resentful glare of Xing Bengt. The news of Xing Bengt being the one behind the Zhimei rash case was leaked out of the Yamen before his execution, once this news was known to the general public, everyone was even more furious.
Especially the young misses who suffered so much because of this cruel merchant. And when the day of Xing Bengt’s execution arrived, these young misses rushed to the execution grounds and pelted Xing Bengt who was reading his apology in the middle of his family’s beheaded corpses with rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes. Just as Xing Bengt worried even his death was extremely embarrassing, his name was spat on for days after his death.
But of course, this happened in the future.
