Ye Wanwan immediately sent elites to Jin City to investigate.
However, three days passed and there was still no news. They only discovered a blood-stained handkerchief that belonged to Madam Nie.
After learning about this, Ye Wanwan personally went to Jin City but found nothing.
Her mother's blood-stained handkerchief made Ye Wanwan feel uneasy, but there was nothing she could do right now. They didn't even know who the culprit was.
Inside the conference room:
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly heavy.
"Based on the current situation, it's extremely likely that Patriarch and Madam have encountered misfortune. The family can't be without a leader for a single day, so I suggest we quickly elect a new patriarch to manage the situation for us."
"Old Third, what do you mean? Patriarch appointed Second Miss as the temporary patriarch before he left, so she'll naturally be responsible for everything. "
"Grand Elder, as you said just now, it's only a temporary replacement. However, at such a critical moment, how can we hand over the Nie clan to someone who has been appointed on a temporary basis? Naturally, we should quickly select the most suitable candidate.
"I agree."
"That's right, I also agree!"
"Although Second Miss is very capable, I'm sure everyone knows that Second Miss' martial arts skills aren't as good as before. How can she assume the position of patriarch of the Nie family with this level of skill?"
"First Elder, don't forget the rules set by the previous patriarch!"
"Of course I remember, but only Second Miss is the most suitable candidate right now."
"That's not necessarily true. I think Third Miss is the most suitable candidate both in terms of martial arts skills and ability. Everyone has witnessed Third Miss's abilities all these years!"
"That's absurd! Nie Linglong isn't the Nie family's flesh and blood, so how can she assume the position of patriarch?"
"First Elder, I'm afraid your words aren't appropriate, right? Our current patriarch's former name isn't Nie Huaili; he's a member of the Ling family. Even a descendant of the Nie family's sworn enemy, the Ling family, can be the patriarch of the Nie family, so why can't Third Miss be the patriarch of the Nie family?! "
"You … you're simply …" First Elder didn't expect the other party to bring up this matter and couldn't refute it.
"You're right. After Third Miss becomes the patriarch, there's nothing against the rules for her to marry a young and promising man of the Nie family!"
Ye Wanwan calmly watched everyone arguing. How could she not understand what was going on?
This elder had a son. He supported Nie Linglong so much because Nie Linglong had promised to marry him after she became the family head.
"This matter is urgent. Everyone, let's vote now!"
"Vote? Show your heads. My parents just had an accident, and you're already busy choosing a family head? Why? Are you all cursing my parents to die?" Nameless Nie glanced at the higher-ups and elders present.
A higher-up looked at Nameless Nie and said, "How could you say that? The Nie family has centuries of foundation, so we can only prioritize the bigger picture at this stage. How could we not be sad and pained that something like this happened to Patriarch and Madam? However, a group of dragons can't be without a leader. Let's choose a new patriarch first before we can figure out what exactly happened."
Nameless Nie wanted to say something, but Ye Wanwan shot him a look, telling him to keep quiet.
If these elders and upper echelons dared to act like this, they must have a backup plan. Today's situation was extremely disadvantageous to her and Nameless Nie, and the election of the family head was a rule that must be followed, no matter who it was.
In the end, aside from the First Elder, everyone voted unanimously for Nie Linglong to be the head of the Nie family.
