"White Fox, you're here!" Shen Zhenghao stopped in his tracks when he saw Xiao Chen. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said anxiously, "I think Shen Zhengquan will find a way to take control of the family today. We …"
"Uncle Shen, don't worry too much. I'll act according to the circumstances. I won't let you guys suffer any losses." Xiao Chen comforted him. Actually, Xiao Chen didn't expect Shen Zhengquan to be so fast. Could it be … that they discovered something?
In fact, it was because of this that Shen Zhengquan was alerted by the meeting between Xiao Chen and Clayden yesterday. Especially when he knew that Xiao Chen's strength was probably above Stage Eight Inner Force, it put a lot of pressure on Shen Zhengquan. Therefore, he had no choice but to call a family meeting to confirm his position.
Xiao Chen followed behind Shen Zhenghao and held Shen Jingxuan's hand. Goddess Shen was a little nervous, but Xiao Chen gave her a strange sense of security. Shen Jingxuan never dreamed that one day she would appear in the Shen Family's courtyard holding Xiao Chen's hand. Sometimes, life was really strange. She didn't like Xiao Chen at all, but now she loved him very much.
Everyone walked into the Shen Family's meeting hall. It was a huge building with a very spacious hall. There were no round tables like in a conference room, only chairs around. Obviously, everyone was sitting around, and there was an empty space in the middle of the main seat. No one knew what it was for.
The second son, Shen Zhengxin, Su Luhua, and their child, Shen Jingbing, were already sitting in the meeting hall. Behind them were some relatives of the Shen Family. However, these people had no say in the Shen Family. Anyway, no matter who was in charge, they just wanted to get some benefits. Fighting for the position of the family head was the business of Shen Shanhe's children, and had nothing to do with these relatives.
The eldest son, Shen Zhengquan, was the last to enter. To everyone's surprise, he was pushing a wheelchair, and the person in the wheelchair was Shen Shanhe!
Shen Shanhe closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep. In fact, he was already disheartened and was waiting to be manipulated by Shen Zhengquan. After all, his words were useless in the Shen Family. He was a dying man, and no one would listen to him.
He pushed Shen Shanhe to the empty space in front of the main seat. It turned out that this was where the wheelchair was. No wonder it was empty. Xiao Chen sat at the side and watched everything that was happening coldly. He wanted to see what this Shen Zhengquan was going to do.
"Cough cough! Well, since everyone from the Shen family is here, let's get ready for the meeting! "Shen Zhengquan stood next to Shen Shanhe, acting like the host of the meeting.
Shen Zhengquan stood next to Shen Shanhe, looking like the host of the meeting. Shen Zhengxin looked at Shen Zhengquan with anger in his eyes. Shen Zhengquan's actions had disrupted his plan! His plan was not small. He was going to serve the old man and make him write a will or something. Although Shen Zhengquan might not be useful, he could use it to wave the flag. At the very least, he could split the Shen Family. But now, he had not done anything and Shen Zhengquan was ready to force him to abdicate!
He knew very well what Shen Zhengquan wanted to do. At this time, he held a family meeting and pushed Shen Shanhe out. That was to confirm his identity as the heir of the Shen Family and make it an established fact!
However, he could not oppose it. After all, Shen Zhengquan was the eldest son. When Shen Shanhe was seriously ill, it was normal for him to exercise the responsibility of the family head.
"Now, I would like to introduce a few guests here to witness this family meeting. Now, let's welcome President Gu of the Warrior Guild, Zheng Zhiba!" Following Shen Zhengquan's words, Zheng Zhiba walked in, waved to everyone, and sat next to Shen Shanhe.
"Warrior Market's Deputy Shopkeeper, Mr. Ma Youqian!" Shen Zhengquan continued to introduce. Ma Youqian walked in and sat next to Shen Shanhe with a smile.
"Warrior Market's Chief Pharmacist, Tan Muyou!" As Shen Zhengquan spoke, Tan Muyou also walked in. However, although he was the leader of the three, he was still one level lower than the other two, so he sat next to Ma Youqian.
"Next, there is another mysterious guest. That is Pharmacist Tan's son, Tan Jita. He was invited by my father. He is a top pharmacist, the Chief Pharmacist of the Warrior Market Headquarters, Ji Youliang!" With a wave of Shen Zhengquan's hand, Tan Jita walked into the conference hall with a hale and hearty old man!
The first three people were within everyone's expectations. After all, the three of them had a good relationship with Shen Zhengquan. However, Medicine Master Ji was a little surprising!
Was he really invited? To treat Shen Shanhe? What if he was cured? Wouldn't Shen Zhengquan have no chance?
Shen Zhengxin was also a little puzzled. He believed that Shen Zhengquan and Tan Muyou were in cahoots, but it was a little unrealistic to say that Pharmacist Ji was here to help. After all, Pharmacist Ji was a top pharmacist. There was no need to bring any bad stain on his reputation because of the Shen Family.
However, no matter what, Shen Zhengquan's actions made those who did not know the truth look at him in a new light. They all praised him. After all, everyone felt that he did not want to be promoted, but to treat Grandpa Shen's illness!
"Pharmacist Ji's time is limited, so before the family meeting, I will take up some of everyone's time to let Pharmacist Ji treat my father. Does anyone have any objections?" Shen Zhengquan said.
Naturally, no one had any objections. After all, Old Master Shen was the master of the Shen Family. Who would have any objections? Only a few children of the Shen Family were fighting fiercely. Other than them, the others had no chance at all. Therefore, whether Shen Shanhe was well or not had little to do with them. However, on the surface, they had to applaud.
"Alright, Pharmacist Ji, please treat my father!" Seeing that no one objected, Shen Zhengquan made an inviting gesture!
It turned out that the other seat next to Shen Shanhe was reserved for Pharmacist Ji. Pharmacist Ji nodded and walked over. He grasped the pulse on Shen Shanhe's wrist and examined it carefully …
Shen Shanhe did not move. He did not even open his eyes. He was at Pharmacist Ji's mercy.
Actually, Pharmacist Ji did not want to come today. He did not want to get involved in the internal strife of the Zhenwu Family. However, since Tan Muyou had invited him, he had to come. They were all colleagues, and Tan Muyou's consultation fee was not low, so Pharmacist Ji still came.
But after the examination, Pharmacist Ji felt that something was wrong. Shen Shanhe's body had been poisoned by two kinds of poison? Tan Muyou could not examine it, but Pharmacist Ji could. He also discovered that the poison had accumulated in the injured area. If he was not careful, he would die from the poison!
This kind of situation was simply incurable. Pharmacist Ji knew that this trip was probably in vain. Fortunately, the consultation fee was paid first. Whether or not Shen Shanhe was cured, he would still be paid for this trip.
However, Shen Shanhe's situation made it impossible for him to tell the truth! Shen Shanhe was poisoned, and it was two kinds of poison at that. If he said it, it would definitely cause an uproar! Pharmacist Ji could only sigh and shake his head. "No, there's no other way! I can't treat his problem either! Forgive me for my limited ability, but I can only give up! "
With that, Pharmacist Ji got up and apologized to everyone. Then, he sat down again.
"Sigh! It seems like there's really no other way! " Shen Zhengquan's face was full of grief. "Everyone knows Pharmacist Ji's ability. Since Pharmacist Ji has said so … Sigh, for the development of the Shen Family, we can only look forward. So, I think Father is here, but with his condition, he will definitely not be able to handle the affairs of the Shen Family. Father, for the development of the Shen Family, please appoint a successor to the Shen Family!"
Shen Zhengxin's eyes were about to burst into flames. So this was what they were waiting for! Even Pharmacist Ji couldn't treat him. This also showed everyone that Shen Shanhe was completely hopeless. At this time, Shen Zhengquan's words, which seemed to be for the sake of the Shen Family, were not the slightest bit excessive. Instead, it would gain everyone's support!
Sure enough, the relatives of the Shen Family all nodded. They also understood what kind of person Pharmacist Ji was. If he said it was hopeless, then it was hopeless. If the Shen Family didn't choose a person to take charge, who would they benefit from in the future?
Shen Shanhe slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shen Zhengquan listlessly. He didn't know what to say. This was forcing him to abdicate! In this situation, if he still didn't make a decision, then everyone present would probably think that he was obsessed with power and refused to let go. He didn't care about the development and future of the Shen Family!
He was about to die. Why didn't he hurry up and appoint a successor? What was he waiting for? Moreover, with the lineup that Shen Zhengquan had found, it seemed that he was the most filial. He was also the eldest son. If he let someone else be the head of the family, it would be a little biased. It wouldn't be justifiable!
Seeing that Zheng Zhiba, Ma Youqian, and Tan Muyou were all sitting here, it was obvious that they were there to hold the fort for him. If he let someone else take over, it would be hard to say if there would be trouble!
Thinking of this, Shen Shanhe was disheartened. Forget it, if you want it, then take it. He didn't want to see the Shen Family fall into internal strife. Passing the position to the eldest son of the Shen Family, Shen Zhengquan, was the best outcome.
However, just as Shen Shanhe was about to speak, he was interrupted by an indifferent voice. The one who spoke was Xiao Chen!
"Who said that Pharmacist Ji can't treat anyone else just because he said so?" Xiao Chen knew that if he didn't stand up and waited for Shen Shanhe to express his stance, then the matter would become a foregone conclusion. Therefore, he had to stand up.
However, he didn't know when Pharmacist Lu would arrive, so he had to stop him first.
"What?" Shen Zhengquan's eyebrows twitched. He looked at Xiao Chen with some embarrassment and said angrily, "White Fox, do you mean that your medical skills are better than Pharmacist Ji's?"
"That's hard to say." Xiao Chen said lightly, "I didn't say that. You said it yourself. But, maybe it's a little better!"
