Be Possessed with Ghost Boyfriend - C164
Of course, the target of the Crane Forest’s transaction was not only Zhao Hua Xiang, there were also some other people. Zhao Hua Xiang was only one of the people with the most power in his hands.
The purpose of his actions was to grasp all the resources of the Crane Family. When the time came, he would have the power to accomplish something that he could not have done before.
For example … Dong Xiaoxiao.
After their last meeting, Dong Xiaoxiao felt guilty but didn’t care much about it.
Other than studying, she would check with Le Xiao and Tang Xueli about the Ye Group when she had the time.
They had used Le Xiao’s spies in the Ye Group to investigate the records of the Ye Clan within five years of Ye Hanyi’s disappearance, and then proceeded to manually refine them.
As such, the matter of the Crane Forest, after a long period of time, had naturally been forgotten by her.
Meanwhile, the Crane Forest had been making preparations for the upcoming Clan Gathering …
The Crane Family’s Clan Assembly was held every July.
Because it was currently summer and the Yang energy was at its peak, the Crane Family’s business was much easier to handle. The people of the family could also make time to attend the meeting.
And this day was the day of the Clan Assembly.
He Lin woke up early in the morning and was wearing a completely different formal attire from before. He looked to be in high spirits and had an air of elegance.
Plus, he had been in the limelight in the family recently, so on the way to the Crane Hall, people kept greeting him. He responded politely with a smile.
However, the reason why he had been controlled by the imprint before was that some of the people he had accidentally hurt avoided him in fear.
However, the Crane Forest didn’t seem to care at all. Sometimes he would even take the initiative to go over and pay his respects to the people he had injured, expressing his apology. This made them feel much better, and their impression of the Crane Forest also improved a lot.
Naturally, not everyone would be able to attend the Clan Assembly. Only the clan elders or the members of the younger generation with great abilities could attend.
As the next heir to the Crane Family on the surface, naturally he would also be present.
It was only when most of the participants had arrived that Crane Father appeared. He followed behind him, walking straight from the door to the seat of honor at the center of the room. With a solemn face, he announced the start of the meeting.
At the start of the meeting, the entire hall was solemn. Just like in previous years, everyone was reporting about the company they worked for and its operations one by one.
As for Crane Master Lin, he maintained a faint smile from beginning to end. Zhao Huaxing, who was sitting below, was the last to speak. He would occasionally look at Crane Master Lin when he was reporting on the situation.
However, the Crane Forest did not seem to be aware of it, instead looking straight ahead.
Zhao Huaxing was very satisfied in his heart. After he finished his report, he nodded at Crane Father.
The crane father smiled, waved for him to sit down, summed up the encouragement, and was about to announce the end of the meeting.
However, at this moment, a clan member, who seemed rather unremarkable in the clan, stood up from his seat and said with a loud voice:
“Wait, Patriarch, I have something else to say.”
His words also attracted the attention of everyone who was prepared to leave.
What else could happen now that all the procedures had been completed?
A subtle unease suddenly appeared in his father’s heart, but after thinking about it again and again, he still couldn’t find anything, let alone at this moment in front of a large crowd, he could only open his mouth to speak.
The man was not afraid. He smiled at the surrounding people, then looked at Father He and said, “Patriarch, you have been in charge of the family for more than thirty years. You are now in your fifties. At this moment, the previous family head relinquished his position to the young family head, so … Have you been meaning to take a break lately? ”
“Hua!”
His words were straightforward enough, causing all the unprepared people present to be shocked. They all turned to look at Crane Father, wanting to see his reaction.
On the other hand, Zhao Hua Xiang’s expression didn’t change. He was still as serious as before, but the look he exchanged gazes with the Crane Forest had let him clearly know that the seizing of the throne had begun.
At the same time, the crane father’s heart was also in turmoil.
He was indeed planning on giving up his position to Crane Forest recently, because he was indeed old, staying in this position for a long time had allowed him to age faster than ordinary people. In addition, Crane Forest’s recent sudden emergence had made him very optimistic, perhaps after a year or two, he would leave.
However, what he was thinking and being coerced were two different things. Even if he was thinking the same thing before, he definitely couldn’t admit it after being made clear.
This was because not only did this concern his reputation and authority, it also meant that something big must have happened in the family that he did not know about.
Who wanted to push such a young Crane Forest into a higher position? What was his purpose?
The crane father looked at the also somewhat surprised He Lin, his heart was in turmoil, he didn’t reply for a while, only looking at the person who stood up, giving him a look.
He knew that his son, Crane, had no desire to be the next head of the family.
Then… Who is it? In the end, who was the one who was unhappy with him and wanted to push him down?
Just at this time, the man’s voice slowly sounded again, “Patriarch? What do you think? ”
The crane father sighed in his heart as he swept his eyes over everyone below. After a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice, “I would like to ask, what’s everyone’s opinion on this matter?”
He wanted to see how many monsters and demons were hidden in this house.
After Crane Father’s words, no one stood up for a moment. All of them seemed to be whispering to each other …
After five minutes, someone finally raised his hand, and Crane Father asked him to answer directly.
That person stood up and looked at the person who spoke first before replying in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. He looked straight at Crane Father and said in a loud voice, “I agree with He Qi’s view.”
“I agree.”
“I agree.”
For a moment, half of the crowd seemed to agree. Of course, there were those who supported Crane Father, but most of them were just spectating. As a result, those who supported Crane Father did not support Crane Lin’s strength.
At this time, Crane Father suddenly looked towards Zhao Huaxing, who was sitting not far from him. He coldly said, “Old Zhao, what do you think?”
Other than the initial slight surprise, Zhao Hua Xiang maintained his calm demeanor the entire time.
However, when his father called out his name, he wasn’t surprised at all. In fact, his lips even curved upwards into a smile, revealing a slight smile.
“But my opinion doesn’t seem to matter any more, does it?”
