Chapter 69: Extremely Conscientious
Zhao Ziqing grabbed Lin Fan's hand, tears streaming down her face.
"Lin Fan, aren't you a miracle doctor? Can you please save my grandfather? As long as you can save him, I'll do anything for you!"
"Even the gods can't save him. The old man... is gone."
Lin Fan shook his head helplessly.
"My condolences and acceptance."
"grandfather……"
Zhao Ziqing was completely desperate and threw herself on Old Man Zhao again, crying loudly.
"You can prepare for the old man's funeral now. Take out the things from last time and use them."
Lin Fan looked at the four brothers and said.
"Father……"
Upon hearing this, the four brothers' eyes turned red.
As for who is expressing their true feelings and who is just pretending, I'm afraid only they themselves know.
"Let's have a meeting. Now that the old man is gone, there are some things we have to decide."
After a brief moment of "sadness", Zhao Tong spoke calmly.
"Brother is right."
The second oldest, Zhao Xingyu, nodded in agreement.
"You guys, stay here and guard."
Zhao Tong turned his head and gave an order.
"Everyone else, follow me."
"No one is allowed to leave!"
Zhao Ziqing, who was lying on Old Man Zhao, stood up suddenly.
"Today, no one can leave until the murderer who killed Grandpa is found!"
Her pretty face was filled with anger and her eyes were as sharp as knives.
She wants justice for her grandfather!
"Nonsense!"
Zhao Tong's face darkened.
"Fourth Brother, discipline your daughter!"
Zhao Xingmin remained silent. He couldn't control his daughter.
"Lin Fan, you will stop anyone who dares to leave!"
Zhao Ziqing looked at Lin Fan and said coldly.
"Xiao Qing, the old man is gone. Let's take care of his funeral first."
Lin Fan held Zhao Ziqing's hand and comforted her softly.
"The Zhao family cannot be without a leader for a day. There are still many things to do next."
"But grandpa..."
"We will investigate the cause of the old man's death, but for now, let's take care of the funeral first."
After hearing what Lin Fan said, Zhao Ziqing looked at his grandfather and felt sad again.
"Zhao Ziqing, you and your grandfather have a deep relationship, so you should stay here with him."
The second brother, Zhao Xingyu, said something and walked out first.
In the blink of an eye, of the four Zhao brothers, only Zhao Xingmin was left.
"Xiaoqing, Daddy will stay with you."
Zhao Xingmin looked at his daughter, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over.
"Did you do it?"
Zhao Ziqing stared at Zhao Xingmin and questioned him coldly.
"What?"
Zhao Xingmin was stunned.
"What she meant was, are you the murderer of her grandfather?"
Lin Fan said calmly.
"How can it be!"
Zhao Xingmin's face changed drastically.
"Xiao Qing, how could I be so heartless as to kill my own father! Besides, why would I kill your grandfather? While he's alive, I'm the Fourth Master of the Zhao Family. If he's gone, I won't have any benefit! No matter who's in charge, they won't take me seriously!"
Hearing this, Zhao Ziqing withdrew his gaze.
"Thank you for trusting Dad." Zhao Xingmin said hurriedly when he saw this.
"I don't trust you, I just think what you said makes sense. When Grandpa is around, you're the Fourth Master of the Zhao Family. When he's not around, no one will take you seriously!"
Zhao Ziqing said coldly.
"..."
Hearing his daughter say this, Zhao Xingmin smiled bitterly. It seemed that in her eyes, he was just a useless guy?
"How to investigate?"
Zhao Ziqing ignored Zhao Xingmin and turned to ask Lin Fan.
"Let your father stay here to look after grandpa, and we'll go see what they are discussing in the meeting." Lin Fan thought for a moment and suggested.
“Perhaps, there will be some gains.”
"it is good."
Zhao Ziqing looked at his grandfather and agreed while suppressing his grief.
"You guys go ahead, I'll stay here." Zhao Xingmin quickly stated.
"Grandpa died in unclear circumstances, and as a son, you don't want to avenge him. I'm disappointed in you!"
Zhao Ziqing said this and walked straight out.
"I've done a good job. At least I didn't think of harming the old man." Zhao Xingmin muttered softly.
"You make sense." Lin Fan gave a thumbs up.
"You go with Xiaoqing and protect her." Zhao Xingmin said to Lin Fan.
"No matter what happened with the old man, your engagement is still valid. You have to protect her."
Lin Fan's expression changed slightly, he nodded, and chased in the direction of Zhao Ziqing.
The reception room not far away was now packed with people.
The three Zhao brothers and the direct descendants of the family have all taken their seats and are enthusiastically discussing the funeral arrangements for Mr. Zhao.
Actually, there is nothing much to discuss about this matter. After all, they are "experienced" and can just do it again according to the specifications of last time.
What they are more concerned about is who will have the final say in the Zhao family in the future.
"Is this even negotiable?"
Zhao Tong glanced at Zhao Xinghui. He was his only opponent.
"We already agreed last time that once the old man leaves, I will take care of the Zhao family."
"Not always."
Zhao Xinghui's lips curled up in a hint of sarcasm.
"I think we need to discuss this further."
"What's there to discuss? I..."
"Brother, since the third brother said so, let's discuss it again."
Suddenly, Zhao Xingyu interrupted Zhao Tong and spoke.
"Times have changed. Last time was last time, and this time is this time."
Zhao Tong was stunned when he heard what Zhao Xingyu said.
He was not surprised that Zhao Xinghui had objections.
But Zhao Xingyu kept following him. If he said east, this guy wouldn't dare to go west!
What's going on today?
Could it be... that this guy was bribed by Zhao Xinghui?
But when he saw Zhao Xinghui's surprised expression, he knew that was not the case.
"Brother, you want to be the head of the Zhao family, right? Haha, I want to be one too."
Zhao Xingyu said with a smile.
"In ancient times, there was no rule that the eldest son must be the crown prince. Why do you have to take charge as soon as the old man is gone?"
"You...what do you mean?"
Zhao Tong was shocked and angry.
"I want to sit on the old man's throne too."
After Zhao Xingyu finished speaking, he ignored everyone's surprised looks and sat down on the chair at the top.
"Zhao Xingyu, are you crazy?"
Zhao Tong shouted angrily and wanted to go forward and pull him down.
This chair is what he wanted!
"Am I crazy? Why, the position of Zhao family patriarch can only be coveted by you and the third brother, but not me?"
Zhao Xingyu's face darkened.
"I declare that from now on, I have the final say in the Zhao family!"
boom!
Zhao Xinghui slammed the table: "Zhao Xingyu, why do you sit in this seat?"
"Why? Good question."
Zhao Xingyu nodded.
"Is it enough for me to control your life and death?"
When everyone heard what Zhao Xingyu said, they were stunned. What did he mean?
"Hehe, try taking a deep breath. Does your heart hurt like being pricked by a needle?"
Zhao Xingyu smiled.
"Brother, third brother, try it quickly."
Zhao Tong subconsciously took a deep breath, and suddenly his face showed pain, and he covered his heart.
It really hurts!
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xinghui and others' faces changed.
"You...what did you do to me!"
Zhao Tong stared at Zhao Xingyu and asked in horror.
