At this moment, Murong Xiong's mind was buzzing, and many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

It was as if I could see my great-grandmother waving to me.

thump!

He knelt down immediately, and Murong Heshuo, seeing him kneel, immediately followed suit, "Grandpa, Grandfather..."

Neither the father nor the son dared to look at Murong Botao.

There was nothing they could do; the old man held considerable authority, and the two of them were feeling guilty.

Murong Botao sighed and shook his head. "Since you've started, you shouldn't be cowardly. If you're going to do it, you have to see it through to the end. If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm. How can you be my successor?"

Um?

Murong Xiong couldn't help but raise his head and look at his father in disbelief.

"Dad, I..."

"You should all stand up first!" Murong Botao sighed and shook his head.

Murong Xiong and his son exchanged a glance, then he stood up shakily.

"Dad, did you know we were coming?" Murong Xiong hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking.

Murong Botao snorted coldly, "In the entire Murong family, has there ever been a single thing that could escape my discerning eyes!"

thump!

Murong Xiong was so frightened that he immediately knelt down again. "Dad, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, but you can't blame me entirely. If I hadn't attacked you today, Murong Heshu would have attacked us. You know her strength. The elders of the Chamber of Commerce are all on her side, and you even sent experts to protect her. We had no choice! We were just trying to save our lives!"

Murong Botao raised an eyebrow. "Why would I send experts to protect her? The head of the family must not interfere in the struggle for succession. This is a rule passed down from our ancestors. How could I, Murong Botao, break the rules of our ancestors!"

"What? You didn't send any experts?" Murong Xiong was immediately dumbfounded.

If it weren't for the expert that my father sent to Murong Heshu, how would Wu Laogou have died?

At this moment, he was completely baffled.

"Alright, let's put everything else aside for now!"

Murong Botao waved his hand and then said, "I know you're here today for the seal of office and my shares, right?"

Murong Botao coughed twice, and immediately, a tall old man in black robes appeared at the bedside like a gust of wind. He was holding a seal and a stack of share transfer documents.

The old man exuded a terrifying aura, like the Grim Reaper, which made the father and son tremble with fear. However, when Murong Xiong saw what the old man was holding, he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

"Dad, what's wrong...?"

"I've already prepared what you wanted, so hurry up and take it!" Murong Botao said irritably.

? ? ?

Murong Xiong was completely dumbfounded!

"Give it to me?"

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and his eyes lit up with immense joy. "Dad, do you mean you want to pass the position of family head to me?"

Unbelievable, absolutely incredible!

Even a hexagonal dream wouldn't dare to do this! It's absolutely stunning!

Besides, wasn't this old man good to his granddaughter? Why did he suddenly change his mind and side with me?

Murong Xiong was completely baffled.

Murong Botao sighed and said, "You're right. I do like He Shu more usually, and I do prefer Murong He Shu to be the next head of the family! However, things didn't go as planned. The ancient martial arts clan gave me instructions that Murong He Shu is colluding with the enemy and is at risk of being turned against the clan. Therefore, they want you to inherit the position of head of the family!"

Traitor and collusion with the enemy?

Murong Xiong was stunned.

What the heck?

Who is the enemy, and where did the enemy come from?

In the entire city of Shanghai, and even in the entire Great Xia, who dares to be the enemy of ancient martial arts?

Could it be...?

As a possibility occurred to him, his eyes widened suddenly.

Murong Xiong nodded and said, "You're right. This person comes from the north, is from the Inner Cabinet, and has divine blood. But you don't need to worry. The Ancient Martial Clan already knows the news he brought and has marked him. If he dares to act recklessly, the Ancient Martial Clan will not let him off! Just do your jobs!"

Murong Xiong nodded repeatedly, took the things from the old man in black robes, knelt down and kowtowed, and said excitedly, "Father, rest assured, I will definitely not disgrace your name, and I will definitely bring glory to the Murong family and the Chunfeng Chamber of Commerce!"

"Hmm!" Murong Botao said calmly, "Just do your job! I only have one piece of advice for you: we, the relatives of the ancient martial arts clan, depend on the ancient martial arts clan for survival. No matter what, never deviate from this principle, otherwise, it will bring utter destruction upon ourselves! Do you understand?"

"Understood, understood!" Murong Xiong nodded repeatedly.

Murong Botao waved his hand, "Alright, I've told you everything I needed to. When you get back, Murong and Shu will definitely cause you trouble, but don't worry, the Ancient Martial Clan will protect you. Just do as you see fit!"

"Okay, Dad, then Shuo'er and I will take our leave now!"

Murong Xiong didn't dare to say anything more and quickly left the ward with his son.

"dad!"

"son!"

"We're rich now! We'll never have to put up with that little brat's attitude again!"

"Yeah! We're on top now! Hahahaha!"

The father and son came outside and bumped into each other excitedly, not knowing how to express their joy.

However, Murong Xiong quickly regained his composure.

Yes, I am now the master of the Murong family, so I should be more composed and have the demeanor of a family head!

However, it does take some time for this nouveau riche attitude to change; the father and son still walk with a swaying gait.

...

At this point, the medical conference finally came to an end.

Lin Yu and the Green Gang both got what they wanted.

Lin Yu was quite satisfied with Murong Heshu; this young woman was quite shrewd.

"Lin Yu, how about we have lunch together to celebrate?"

Outside the venue, Murong Heshu made a suggestion with a grin.

Lin Yu waved his hand, "No, Xiaoyue and I will celebrate. You go ahead and do your thing!"

Murong Heshu was stunned for a moment, then felt annoyed and pouted, saying, "Hey! You're kicking me while I'm down! How can you do this..."

Squeak!

Before Murong Heshu could finish speaking, a Maybach pulled up in front of Lin Yu. It was Zhu Yeqing who had driven it.

"I'll contact you if anything comes up. See you later!" Lin Yu said, then got into his Maybach and drove off.

Murong Heshu was completely bewildered, her face flushed with anger. She puffed out her cheeks and said, "Hmph! You scumbag! You used me and then ignored me! Hmph, don't even think about me doing anything for you anymore! I'll never help you again! Hmph!"

Murong Heshu huffed and puffed as she got into her Bentley.

"Miss, where are we going?" asked a capable female driver, looking in the rearview mirror.

Murong Heshu was stunned for a moment, then said with a look of surprise, "Aunt Yu, you're back? When did this happen?"
