Chapter 968 - 142 Guarding oneself and steals_2
Lin Jiazhong’s face turned even paler, and his lips began to quiver. After a long while, he held his head with both hands, in agony, and started to blame himself, "I, I have let down the master, and I have failed him!"
Speaking of which, Old Master Huang had been quite good to him. Initially, when Lin Yongle got into trouble and ended up in prison, Old Master Huang had helped Lin Jiazhong to make arrangements. Later, he even gave Lin Jiazhong an advance on his salary to help him out of his urgent predicament. Now that Old Master Huang had discovered Lin Jiazhong’s embezzlement, he didn’t immediately report it to the officials and instead gave him another chance to mend his ways.
How could Lin Jiazhong not feel regret and hatred?
It’s just that when he first secretly took the silver, he had held a bit of a wishful thinking attitude, whether it was to take advantage of a loophole or to exploit Old Master Huang’s kindheartedness. In any case, the situation had developed in a way that he had not anticipated.
"Butler Qi, can I please go and beg the master for mercy? I truly realize my mistake!"
But this time Butler Qi was not so easy to talk to and firmly shook his head, "I cannot hide it from you, before I came here, the master already instructed me that he doesn’t wish to see you again. As long as you return the silver, he doesn’t want the two months of salary he advanced you, but you can never return to being Mr. Accountant."
What?!
Although he had already expected such an ending, when these words truly came from Butler Qi’s mouth, Lin Jiazhong felt a huge blow. His body wobbled, and he barely managed to stay upright.
"Not able to return? Yes, who would entrust their household accounts to a thief?"
