Chapter 658 Deciding the Clan Head
Qin Feng's breath hitched as he sensed Qin Cheng's voice fading.
He stood there blankly at the head of the bed, and it took him a long time to realize that the man on the bed was really gone, the man he had hated for decades.
After a long while, he exhaled, unable to tell whether he felt sad or relieved.
He wiped his face, put away the will, turned around, and walked heavily out of the room.
As soon as he came out, everyone gathered around him, with Qin Leilei leading the way: "How is Dad?"
Qin Feng said calmly, "Your father has already passed away."
Qin Xuan, who was standing to the side, froze for a moment, then rushed inside, shouting, "Brother!"
The group of people behind him rushed in as well.
Qin Leilei was pushed aside by the crowd. He leaned against the table behind him, heartbroken, and couldn't straighten up for a long time.
After a short while, the people inside, having finished crying, all came out again.
Qin Xuan stared at Qin Feng and asked, "Xiao Feng, did my elder brother leave any instructions before he left?"
Qin Feng raised his eyes and glanced at everyone: "Yes, it's about the successor of the Qin family head."
Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath, especially Qin Leilei, whose body stiffened.
Qin Xuan's eyes swept back and forth between Qin Feng and Qin Leilei, knowing that the Qin family head would soon be chosen from among the two.
Although both of them are direct descendants of the Qin family, Qin Xuan secretly hopes that Qin Leilei will become the head of the family. After all, Qin Feng left the Qin family a long time ago, while Qin Leilei is someone he watched grow up, so their relationship is naturally closer.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Qin Feng continued, "By order of that person's dying wish, Qin Leilei, the second young master of the Qin family, will serve as the new head of the Qin family."
After these words were spoken, there was an initial silence, followed by a flurry of discussion.
Some people even showed surprise on their faces.
After all, Qin Cheng's last meeting was with Qin Feng, and Qin Feng, as the eldest son of the Qin family, helped the Qin family out of their predicament, so it can be said that the position of family head was rightfully his.
This result is truly unbelievable.
Among these people, Uncle Bai was the most senior, so he didn't hold back and asked directly, "Xiao Feng, did the patriarch leave a letter?"
Qin Feng said without changing his expression, "He left suddenly, only telling me verbally, without having time to leave a letter. What, Uncle Bai, don't believe me?"
Uncle Bai shook his head: "How could I not believe you? The position of head of this family was originally meant to be chosen between you two brothers. I was just asking casually."
"That's good. Anyone else have any objections?" Qin Feng asked, looking around at the others.
Everyone lowered their heads, clearly having no objections.
Just when everyone thought the matter was settled, Qin Leilei suddenly spoke up: "I have an objection."
In an instant, everyone looked at him in confusion.
Qin Feng also frowned and looked at him.
Qin Leilei stubbornly said, "When Dad passed away, you were the only one present. There was no third party to corroborate the story, and no letter was left behind. How can we know if what you're saying is true or false? So, to be fair, I still want to fight you to determine the position of family head!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions varied, but in their hearts, they all thought the same thing: Idiot!
Sure enough, Qin Xuan immediately jumped out and scolded, "Lei Lei, don't be ridiculous. Since my brother left a will, we should follow it. You don't need to challenge the eldest son to the position of family head."
Qin Feng said impatiently, "Young people should listen to their elders. I don't have time to play with you."
After saying this, he bowed slightly to the others: "Uncles and elders, now that the Qin family's predicament has been resolved and everything is settled, I shall take my leave."
He led his men and started walking out. Qin Leilei called after him, but he pretended not to hear and walked even faster.
Unwilling to give up, Qin Leilei ignored everyone's attempts to stop him and chased after him all the way out the gate. Just as he was about to get into the car, he could no longer care about anything else and shouted, "Qin Shuiwa, stop right there!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng indeed stopped.
"Water Boy" is one of his nicknames, because he often peed in puddles when he was a child.
This is also a stain on his life; apart from very close people, almost no one knows his nickname.
Right now, Qin Leilei actually called him by his nickname in front of everyone in the Shadow Sect. You can imagine Qin Feng's anger. He turned around and coldly asked, "What did you say?"
Qin Leilei, with a stern face and no fear whatsoever, said, "Qin Shuiwa, what's wrong? Do I need to explain this to everyone?"
"You're asking for it!" Qin Feng couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed the car door shut and charged at Qin Leilei.
"Just in time!" Qin Leilei rushed up as well.
In an instant, the two were locked in combat.
At first, the two exchanged blows with some semblance of technique and strategy, but gradually things went completely out of control. They resorted to instinct, tearing at each other, grabbing and biting, just like elementary school kids fighting.
The Qin family members, still worried, chased after them to the main gate, only to be met with this shocking scene. They and the Shadow Gate members stared at each other from afar, clearly unaware of what had happened.
Some brave souls stepped forward to break up the fight, only to be punched and flattened in the face by the two brothers.
Seeing this, everyone else dispersed and no one dared to go forward to persuade them.
No one could understand how the two brothers, who were fighting so fiercely, could still be distracted and unite against a common enemy.
A few minutes later, Qin Feng seized the opportunity, flipped over, and pinned Qin Leilei to the ground. As his fists pounded down, he roared, "Are you going to talk or not?!"
Qin Leilei struggled with all his might, but as he twisted and turned, he seemed to lose his strength. His hands suddenly fell down, and he smiled through his bleeding lips, saying, "Stop, I won't say anything more."
That smile stung Qin Feng's eyes, and he regained some clarity.
There seems to have been a time when the two of them competed in such a carefree manner.
Those days are gone forever.
He rolled over and, surprisingly, didn't feel tired at all. Instead, he felt refreshed all over and lay on the ground, just like Qin Leilei.
"You won, but I still can't beat you." Qin Leilei said meaningfully.
"Well, my advantage is my long legs." Qin Feng even made a joke, which was rare for him.
Qin Leilei remained noncommittal, and the two lay there in silence. After some time, Qin Leilei suddenly spoke: "Brother."
This was the first time he had called Qin Feng that since he grew up. He turned his head to look at him and asked seriously, "Dad really told you that I should inherit the family headship?"
Qin Feng paused for a moment before speaking, "What, you don't want to be it? If you're not willing, give it to me!"
Qin Leilei smiled, innocent and carefree: "I always thought that in his heart, I was never as good as you."
Qin Feng turned his head and looked at him as well, and said sincerely, "Over the years, he has always seen the contributions you have made to the Qin family."
"Oh," Qin Leilei responded casually, it was unclear whether he believed her or not.
The two were speechless for a moment, looking at each other, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
