The Succesor

Zhang Yimou who knew that he was in the wrong and that he was the one who had arranged for the accident now started sweating heavily and asked in a meek voice,

''Father what are you doing here? Where you not in the old house today?''

Zhang Yi Ding released Shi from the hug and replied in a stern voice.

''Boy, you do not dare to call me father. I Zhang Yi Ding right at this moment disown you Zhang Yimou and your second wife Ning Quan and your bastard daughter Yuqin shall from now on will not bear the honourable surname of Zhang. I cannot believe that you, a person who can conspire against his own wife and daughter is my own flesh and blood.''

Elder Zhang replied furiously,

''And before all the guests are escorted out so that we can resolve this family matter, I have another announcement to make that from now onwards the Zhang corporation wold be succeeded by my granddaughter Zhang Mu Shi. I request everyone to leave expect the Zhang family, the Ning family, the Guan family.

When everyone was leaving Elder Zhang saw Yang and Mohan and asked them to stay as well, telling them that he had something to discuss with them afterwards.

After everyone had left the room now grew more tensed as majority of the people present here were involved in the conspiracy.

Elder Zhang observed each of their faces and said in a cold voice,

''If you yourself accept your wrongdoings, maybe the punishment would not be so hard for you''

Suddenly, Yuan laughed bitterly and replied,

''Come on Elder Zhang, we all know that you will not let us go even if we accept our faults''

Shi who was standing near Yang heard this and was about to retort when Yang grabbed her hand and motioned for her not to intervene.

Shi listened to him thinking that he was her grandfathers trusted so he must meant well for her as well.

Yang's ear tips were now a light shade of pink, feeling ecstatic at holding her hand. He observed that she had extremely soft skin and was deep in thought, trying to imprint the feeling in his heart.

Mohan who was also standing near them was shocked at Yang's behaviour

'Is this really my brother who did not touch any women claiming to be mysophobic?'

All this interaction did not go unnoticed by Elder Zhang who had a knowing smile in his heart.

Redirecting his attention to Yuan, the Elder asked,

''What do you mean boy? Speak plainly and do not make up riddles''

''Then I would like to inform the Elder that the family of the current head of the underworld owed our Guan family a favour and as such we can call on them to help us in this situation. Do you want to test us old man??''

With this Yuan had put the Elder in a tough spot, sure the Zhang family as powerful and had a stable footing in the underworld but they were not strong enough to go head on against the ruling Li family just as the Elder was coming up a plan a soft yet firm voice was heard saying,

''Call them on we all will wait for them right here''

Spoke Shi.
