Chapter 1991

Ding Xiao and Ding Wang did not want to die, but how could Ding Xie have the heart to kill the two sons who were most useful to him? His eldest son, Ding Xiao, was the most educated and the most gifted in business among his four sons. His second son, Ding Wang, while not as accomplished in commerce, possessed far more drive and ambition than his brother. Ding Xiao would never undertake a major venture without eighty or ninety percent certainty, whereas Ding Wang only required fifty. Looking at these two sons, the hand with which Ding Xie held his pistol trembled even more violently. Yet, compared to the reluctance to kill his own flesh and blood, he was even more reluctant to lose his own life. Taking a step back, even if his sons were gone, he could always have more; but if he lost his own life, he would lose every hope and every opportunity.
