Replace me as the top scholar? Go talk to my Marshal Grandpa!

Compared to the fear and disbelief of Zhao Mingyuan, Bai Zhengqing, and others.

Li Mo reacted even more violently after hearing Wang Xian's true identity!

The color drained from his face instantly, turning deathly pale, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "I cried out in a hoarse voice:"

"What?! He...he's actually Major General Wang Quan's son?!"

Compared to the identities of "direct descendant of the Wang family" and "grandson of Marshal Wang Junba",

Li Mo seemed even more shocked and even more...terrified by the identity of "the son of Major General Wang Quan"!

Why?

Because the Wang family is an extremely large family.

The family is large, with many direct descendants.

If he had offended just an ordinary member of the Wang family, he would only feel a little troubled, but not very troublesome.

The problem can be solved by paying a small price to make up for it.

After all, Li Mo was a provincial governor, one of the top five most important figures in the province!

Moreover, he has powerful backers!

However, the identity of "son of Major General Wang Quan" carries a completely different meaning!

Throughout the Great Xia Empire, everyone with a little status knows one thing: Wang Quan, the young general of the Wang family, is the most beloved and valued son of Marshal Wang Junba!

Major General Wang Quan is a prodigy who has achieved remarkable military exploits at a young age. He is hailed as the most dazzling new star in the history of the Wang family and is the strongest contender for the future head of the Wang family!

He is also the youngest major general in the military, the most dazzling star general, and a candidate for future marshal!

Unfortunately, fate is cruel to those with great talent.

Major General Wang Quan died before he could fully mature.

This is a tremendous pain for the entire Wang family, and an eternal pain in the heart of Marshal Wang!

Moreover, when Major General Wang Quan died, there was no record of him leaving any offspring.

This made the old marshal, who had lost his beloved son, even more heartbroken, and from then on, he rarely smiled.

And now!

Suddenly!

The orphaned child of Major General Wang Quan has appeared!

The presence of four prominent figures from the Wang family signifies that both Marshal Wang and the Wang family have confirmed that Wang Xian's bloodline is genuine and that he is Major General Wang Quan's biological son!

You can imagine.

How much the old marshal would value this grandson who had been so regretful for so long!

I will love him so much!

She will pour all the guilt and longing she feels for her son into this grandson!

And what did Li Mo do himself?

He was just now helping Hengjin Group bully and threaten this boy!

He even personally ordered his men to cripple the boy's hands and feet!

He almost personally harmed Major General Wang Quan's only orphan!

They hurt Marshal Wang's most beloved grandson!!

The moment this thought popped into Li Mo's head, he felt as if the blood in his body was about to freeze!

A bone-chilling cold instantly swept over his entire body!

What would be the consequences if the marshal got angry?

That would be absolutely earth-shattering!

The entire Great Xia Dynasty will be shaken!

Li Mo, a mere provincial inspector, was nothing more than an ant in the face of the marshal's wrath!

What's even more terrifying is that the powerful backers behind him, the network of relationships and backgrounds he was so proud of, simply couldn't protect him in the face of this level of rage!

even!

In order to quell the marshal's raging fury.

They would likely discard Li Mo as a pawn without hesitation at the first opportunity!

They might even stomp on it a few times to show their attitude!

Thinking about these things.

Li Mo's heart was completely chilled!

It felt like falling into an ice cave, sinking and sinking!

"No! No! This absolutely cannot be done!" Li Mo screamed frantically in his heart.

"I've worked incredibly hard! I've been diligent and conscientious! I've strived and struggled for over thirty years!"

"I've poured so much effort into this position, and stepped over so many people, to finally reach where I am today!"

"I am the Inspector General of Nanzhao Province! I am a man of high status! I absolutely cannot fall like this! I absolutely cannot be reduced to my former state! I am not reconciled!"

The strong will to survive and the desire to retain power instantly overwhelmed the fear.

Li Mo suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Xian, who was surrounded by the Wang family members.

Li Mo took a deep breath and then exhaled.

Force yourself to calm down.

Then, he forced a smile onto his face.

The smile was extremely unpleasant, filled with humility, ingratiation, and even a hint of begging.

Li Mo quickly walked to a spot a few steps away from Wang Xian.

I didn't get too close, for fear of offending the Wang family.

He bent down slightly and said in a very humble and sincere tone:

"Young Master Wang... Young Master Wang! It's a misunderstanding! This is a huge misunderstanding!"

Li Mo's voice was ingratiating:

"I...I really didn't know your true identity before!"

"I was completely deceived by Hengjin Group and by that unscrupulous businessman Bai Zhengqing! I was completely blinded by him!"

"He used sweet words and twisted the truth, which fooled me and made me believe his lies! That's why I did those...those disrespectful things to you!"

"I...I sincerely apologize to you! I truly regret my mistake!"

As Li Mo spoke, he observed the expressions on Wang Xian's and Wang Qi's faces.

Seeing that Wang Xian's expression was calm and unreadable, he felt even more uncertain.

He quickly continued, "Young Master Wang, please be magnanimous! Give me a chance to repent and make amends!"

"Tell me your requests! I'll do my best to fulfill them if it's within my power!"

"I am willing to make any amends for my past mistakes!"

After saying all that.

Li Mo then quietly turned his gaze to Wang Qi, who was standing next to Wang Xian.

He felt that the final decision might lie with the head of the Wang family.

So Li Mo looked at Wang Qi with almost pleading eyes, his tone becoming even more humble as he hinted:

"Minister Wang... please believe me!"

"I...I have always held the Wang family in the highest esteem and admired them greatly!"

"What happened today was completely an accident!"

"If the Wang family can give me a chance, I... I'm willing to serve the Wang family from now on!"

"I'm willing... I'm willing to do anything!"

Li Mo's words were almost a blatant declaration of loyalty.

He was willing to betray his original backer, join the Wang family, and become their "pawn" or even "dog"!

All I want is to preserve my current position and escape this calamity.

Faced with Li Mo's humble performance and hints, Wang Qi merely glanced at him indifferently, his face expressionless, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

There was no direct response to Li Mo.

Instead, he turned his head slightly to look at Wang Xian beside him and said calmly, "Xiao Xian, you are the person involved in this matter and also the victim, so we will listen to you."

Wang Qi said this very calmly, but the meaning was clear: the decision-making power is left to Wang Xian.

Whether or not to let Li Mo go is up to Wang Xian.
