Love You for the Rest of My Life-Chapter 1520: Well Done
So that’s how it is. It seems that the old bastard called Old Miao still held something back.
He didn’t tell the full truth and kept some cards up his sleeve to fight for his own interests.
But he didn’t expect the Di Family to be so powerful, even his cousin hiding deep in the mountains and forests was captured in such a short time.
His cousin desperately begged for his life, and Di Mingjue, hearing his plea, came up with a new plan.
Di Mingjue withdrew his foot, laughing coldly, "So that’s how it is. Smart of you. You get to keep your life, but I have one condition."
"What condition?" His cousin hurriedly asked, overjoyed at the prospect of being spared, willing to sacrifice anything.
"I’ll let you keep your miserable life, but you must cast a curse on your cousin, that old bastard Old Miao. I want him to suffer a fate worse than death. If you cast the curse successfully and ensure he endures the torment he deserves, then I promise to spare your life," Di Mingjue said coldly, his eyes chilling as he uttered each word.
"What?" His cousin’s eyes widened in shock. "This..."
"Do you want to live, or not? The choice is yours. Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance." Di Mingjue interrupted him icily.
"I want to! I want to!" His cousin nodded frantically, tears streaming down his face, utterly helpless, yet without hesitation he said, "I’ll do it! I’ll do it! I’ll do it!"
And with that, he broke into uncontrollable sobbing.
Di Mingjue’s eyes were cold, filled with disdain. Predictably, he was just another cowardly man willing to betray his own brother to save himself.
Such a person made Di Mingjue feel nauseous just looking at him. With cold detachment, Di Mingjue lowered his gaze to the pitiful, insect-like figure of his cousin and sneered, "You entered this game, so you’ll repay it eventually. That time is now."
Their time to repay it has come.
"I’ll repay! I’ll repay!" His cousin nodded desperately. "I’ll repay! I’ll repay!"
Saying so, he collapsed onto the ground like a puppet whose strings had been cut, utterly drained.
Trash. Di Mingjue gave him a scornful look, genuinely repulsed. This kind of man disgusted him to no end. What to do?
Without another word, Di Mingjue started throwing punches and using a chair to beat him up. He had promised to spare his life, but he never said he wouldn’t beat him up, right?
By the time Di Mingzhe arrived after his talks with the Governor, the cousin had already been beaten to a pulp, his nose gushing blood.
Di Mingjue stood calmly off to the side, his hands casually tucked into his pockets, looking at Di Mingzhe’s expression and innocently said, "He fell on his own."
Di Mingzhe: "..."
Faced with Di Mingjue’s childishness and twisted humor, Di Mingzhe honestly just thought: Well done.
With everything settled at this point, Di Mingzhe and the Governor had finalized their agreement. This cousin and Old Miao’s grandson would be taken away, while the entire ancient clan of the Gu sorcerers was to be secretly apprehended and dealt with—exterminated outright.
This ancient and malicious secret technique had truly harmed countless people.
The Governor had no objections whatsoever. In fact, he couldn’t wait to see the Gu sorcerer clan wiped out, since they held leverage over him. Now, with Di Mingzhe’s authorization to deal with them quietly, it was undoubtedly the best solution.
With this arrangement, Di Mingzhe would owe the Governor a favor, effectively aligning the Governor with Di Mingzhe’s political camp.
And considering who Di Mingzhe was—a man silently acknowledged by the political sphere as the frontrunner for the next President—it was a smart move. Even though he seemed to be locked in an open and covert rivalry with Dan Youguo, Di Mingzhe’s power was unquestionably strong.
By attaching himself to this rising star, the Governor could surely expect great rewards. Rising to an important official position in the capital was almost a matter of time.
