Before Gao Rujin could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"Shut up," Elder Gao snorted coldly.
"It is precisely because of my status that I must handle this impartially. I have always been righteous and incorruptible, with clean sleeves in the breeze.
Do not speak to me of family matters. Otherwise, from this day onward, I will have nothing more to do with the Gao Family."
Having said that, Elder Gao immediately put on a smiling face and walked over to Xu Zimo and the others.
He said with utmost respect, "Young masters, I have given you a fright.
Are you satisfied with my handling of the matter?"
"Him," Xu Zimo said, pointing at Young Master Gaoyang beside them. "How do you intend to deal with him?"
"You are the victims, so I am willing to hear your opinions," Elder Gao hastily replied.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" Young Master Gaoyang shouted from behind.
"Quick, seize them all! I want them to suffer a fate worse than death!"
"Shut up!" Elder Gao barked angrily.
It was likely Young Master Gaoyang's first time encountering such a scene. He was so frightened that he did not dare speak again.
"Do as he said," Xu Zimo said as he looked at Young Master Gaoyang. "A fate worse than death is unnecessary. Give him a quick death."
"What do you mean?" Elder Gao's expression changed slightly as he asked uncertainly.
"Kill him. I'll let you do it yourself," Xu Zimo replied.
"He is still young, just a child. Severe punishment should be enough, shouldn't it?" Elder Gao replied.
"If Elder Gao is unwilling, I will not force you," Xu Zimo said with a smile.
"That is not what I mean," Elder Gao hurriedly shook his head. He turned around and looked at Young Master Gaoyang
