Chapter 693: The Next Patriarch of the Meng Family

"The Wilson brothers stopped the sacrifice and exposed the scam in public. They claimed that everyone's wealth had nothing to do with the sacrifice and that they were simply proud of the fact that everyone present was a top talent in their respective fields.

Anyone who can get on the boat is not a fool.

Even though they have a certain herd mentality and human weaknesses.

The seeds of doubt were planted at this time.”

"But these people also participated in the sacrifice. It would be difficult for them to deny their involvement now, right?"

"That's right, this is also the strength of the Master, because the sacrifices are made of living people, and murder is not allowed. The only way is to let the sacrifice commit suicide in despair.

Therefore, everyone present was the murderer who forced the sacrifice to death, and each of them participated in a murder.

But there are also people who feel that they are innocent because they did not actually kill anyone. They feel that they were just bystanders and it was not their fault.

Once these people land, they will choose to keep their mouths shut and try their best to break away from the past.

Those with a stronger sense of morality will also be immersed in guilt, and in the long run, this person is probably useless."

“That’s human nature.”

"If it were the old Master, he could afford to lose as well as win, and he would have resolved this matter.

It's just that the Eastern Morning Star was destroyed. He will have other ways to gather his strength. He is that kind of person.

But the current Master...

He did not allow them to land.

The ship hijacking was indeed an accident, but the tsunami was not an accident. It was just a pawn he used to destroy the ship that could no longer be used by him.

Because of this incident, many people who followed the previous Master became disloyal to him and gradually withdrew."

"Including you?" Kong Xiyan looked at Patriarch Meng: "Then what does this have to do with your sudden move?"

"I withdrew, but my son and daughter-in-law admire the current Master. Even though I've explicitly forbidden it, they still secretly contact the Master." Patriarch Meng sighed. "That is, Xi Chao and Zhi Huan's parents."

Just as he said before, extreme people have a kind of attraction that others cannot match, and there will always be people who can see the shining points in them.

The danger that the head of the Meng family believed in should be avoided was seen by his son and daughter-in-law as an opportunity to move towards a new world.

"By the time I discovered it, it was already too late. Those two people paid the price for their choice, and I moved my family back to North City."

"Zhihuan's mother died because..." Kong Xiyan recalled what happened at that time.

Meng Xichao and Meng Zhihuan lost their mother when they were young, and a few years later, the Meng family moved away.

"At first, I didn't know the reason. I just thought it was an accident, but later all the evidence pointed to the Master, so I had to be cautious." The head of the Meng family took a deep breath and said, "I still wonder to this day, if I could have withdrawn in time like your father did, could I have avoided these things?"

"There aren't so many ifs in this world." Kong Xiyan extinguished the moxibustion stick in her hand. "From now on, avoid being exposed to the wind, keep warm, and eat a light diet. If there's anything, let Zhihuan contact me anytime."

"Okay." Patriarch Meng nodded and looked at Kong Xiyan: "Then what do you think of the next Patriarch of the Meng family?"

"Why are we back to this again?" Kong Xiyan's brows twitched as she said, "Just relax! Zhihuan is a responsible and good child. She won't let you down."

The Meng family head's eyes moved slightly, and then he slowly smiled: "You really saw it."

"Is it difficult?" Kong Xiyan blinked and curled her lips in disdain. "There are so many people downstairs, and they are not as good as Zhihua. Is it difficult to guess?"

"Haha, that's true." The head of the Meng family smiled.

"The most important thing is..." Kong Xiyan took a deep breath and slowly revealed a profound smile: "In the entire Meng family, only Zhihuan can control that madman Meng Xichao.

As long as Meng Xichao is alive, the head of the Meng family will only be Meng Zhihuan."

Kong Xiyan saw this very clearly.

"Yes, this is the best arrangement." Patriarch Meng was also very clear in his mind. He chuckled and said, "Xiyan, I'll trouble you to take care of the Meng family in the future."

"Don't worry, Zhihuan can do it." Kong Xiyan gave the Meng family head a reassuring smile, and then said playfully: "If it really doesn't work, I will burn incense for you when I swallow up the Meng family."

"You won't." Patriarch Meng's gaze fell on Kong Xiyan's face, with a firm expression: "You are the daughter raised by those two people. You can't do such a thing."

“Okay, okay, you know now, okay~” Kong Xiyan put away the moxibustion sticks and put the box back to its original place: “I will prescribe a medicine for you later.

It's impossible to cure it, and you know your body well.

I can only make your life less painful for the next one or two years."

"Thank you very much." The head of the Meng family nodded.

"The consultation fee is 500,000 yuan, the moxibustion fee is 500,000 yuan, and the prescription fee is 1.2 million yuan. Just transfer it to my account later." Kong Xiyan waved her hand and was about to leave: "Thank you for your patronage~"

"Xiyan." Patriarch Meng called out to Kong Xiyan and said with a smile, "If Zhihuan becomes the Patriarch, how about I let Meng Xichao marry into your family?"

"I don't take in trash." Kong Xiyan said mercilessly, "You Meng family can keep it for yourselves."

"Tsk." The head of the Meng family tsk-tsk-ed and shook his head. This Meng Xichao was really a waste of his time.

Never mind, he doesn't have much time left anyway.

From now on, as soon as she closed her eyes, Meng Xichao would become Meng Zhihuan's trouble.

That's it.

Looking at Kong Xiyan's receding back, the head of the Meng family sighed.

The Kong family is truly blessed.

The children who were picked up all have such promising futures.

On this side, after Kong Xiyan walked out of the door, she saw Meng Zhihuan leaning against the wall not far away, staring down at her toes in a daze.

When Zhihuan heard the door close, she looked up in Kong Xiyan's direction and gave a somewhat forced smile: "Would you like to come to my room and sit down?"

Kong Xiyan nodded and followed Meng Zhihuan back to her bedroom.

"What's wrong? What's that expression?" Kong Xiyan closed the door and reached out to poke Meng Zhihuan's cheek: "Are you worried about your brother?"

"Sister Xiyan, is Grandpa looking for you about my brother?" Meng Zhihuan's voice was muffled: "Grandpa... doesn't he want my brother to be the next head of the family anymore?"

"To be precise, your grandfather has never thought about this." Kong Xiyan's mouth twitched and she said, "I don't really want to say bad things about your brother in front of you, but... it's hard for me to say good things about him against my conscience."

"I know my brother's personality isn't very good, but he's probably the most capable person in this generation of the Meng family." Meng Zhihuan said, "Apart from my brother, I don't see anyone else capable of inheriting the Meng family.

Besides, if it were someone else, my brother might be unhappy.”

Meng Zhihuan didn't dare to imagine how crazy her brother would become by then.
