If Huo Wen'an doesn't die, their hopes can only be in vain.
Huo Wenbei never expected Xu Xingguang would reveal the internal struggles of the Huo Family in public, openly and directly.
Noticing his grandfather's increasingly inscrutable expression, and his fingers unconsciously stroking the snakehead on his cane, Huo Wenbei knew that the old man was angry.
Suddenly, Huo Wenbei knelt on the ground, his forehead touching the floor, admitting his fault in a fearful manner. "Grandfather! Wenbei was muddled, Wenbei indeed harbored ambitions to vie for the position of Young Helmsman."
"As a descendant of the Huo Family and the younger brother of the Young Helmsman, Wenbei should have wholeheartedly assisted his elder brother in managing the Huo's consortium, but I committed such folly when my brother was critically ill!"
"Wenbei has come to a profound realization of his mistake and voluntarily asks for punishment, willing to go to the Central Cave for a month of self-confinement!"
