Although Chen Tianxing had already explained the reason for his resignation, everyone still found it hard to believe.
Just like what Dongfang Hong asked, even if the Chen family really wanted Chen Hongyuan to inherit the Chen family, there was no need to be in such a hurry. They could have let him stay by Chen Tianxing's side to accumulate some experience before taking over the position.
However, the fact was that Chen Hongyuan had only returned from the Dead Zone for a month, and suddenly, Chen Hongyuan was going to take over the position.
Moreover, calculating the time, it would take about ten days for the Chen family to send the invitation letter to all the aristocratic families, and it took them more than ten days to come to the Chen family.
In other words, Chen Hongyuan had been appointed as the Chen family's new family head for more than a month.
However, at that time, Chen Hongyuan had only come out of the Dead Zone for a few days.
Moreover, there was no news of the Chen family appointing a new family head, but at that time, the Chen family suddenly appointed Chen Hongyuan. This was too rushed.
If it was just a rush, it seemed normal, but the problem was that the old family head, Chen Tianxing, was still fine, and nothing had happened. Why did the Chen family suddenly make such a decision?
"Go, send someone to investigate the Chen family, and find out what happened in the Chen family in the past month!" Situ Xiong returned to the residence that the Chen family arranged for him and immediately said to his followers.
"Father, why did the Chen Family invite all of you here? What happened?" Situ Yongkang asked curiously.
He knew that the people from the eight aristocratic families had arrived today, and it was time to announce the Chen family's big event. Moreover, seeing that his father sent someone to investigate as soon as he came back, it was obvious that something unusual had happened.
"After tomorrow, Chen Hongyuan will be the new family head of the Chen family!" Situ Xiong said with a frown.
"What? You mean that Chen Hongyuan from two days ago? He is going to become the new family head of the Chen family, what's going on? "Situ Yongkang was also shocked.
The guy who broke his Frostfire Talisman Sword Art with one punch was going to become the family head of the Chen family in the blink of an eye?
This news was too shocking, and there was no sign at all.
"I don't know the specific situation, but the Chen family's ancestor just came out to announce this matter. Tomorrow is the Chen family's new family head inauguration ceremony!" Situ Xiong said.
"But isn't he the Chen family's second young master? How did he become the new family head of the Chen Family? "Situ Yongkang was very puzzled.
Although the situation of the Chen Family and the Situ Family were different, the eldest son was definitely the first in line of succession. Logically speaking, even if the Chen Family wanted to change the Family Head, it should be Chen Hongxing who took over the position of the new Family Head.
Unless something happened to the first-in-line successor, it was impossible for it to be like this.
"I heard that Chen Hongxing lost in the competition!" Si Tuxiong was actually a little confused.
Under normal circumstances, there would not be a competition to determine the position of the Patriarch. He did not know why Chen Tianxing did this. Wasn't it obvious that he wanted the two brothers to kill each other?
"Spar? They directly decide the Patriarch through a competition? "Situ Yongkang was obviously very surprised.
"En!" Situ Xiong looked at Situ Yongkang and nodded.
"I didn't expect that guy to be the patriarch!" Situ Yongkang clenched his fists tightly, and his emotions were somewhat complicated.
That guy was indeed very strong, but no one expected him to be the new Family Head of the Chen Family. Thinking of this, he felt somewhat unwilling.
The Situ Family's Patriarch had already decided that it would be his eldest brother, Situ Yongwen. No matter how talented and strong others were, they could not replace his position.
"This matter is not that simple. In the past few days in the Chen Family, we actually did not hear any news about Chen Hongxing. I'm afraid that the Chen Family is still hiding something!" Situ Xiong said.
He was the first to come to the Chen Family, but in the past few days, he heard the Chen Family disciples talking about Chen Hongyuan. It seemed that in the Chen Family, there was only the second young master Chen and not the eldest young master Chen.
"Could it be that the eldest young master of the Chen Family did something wrong? So he was ruled out? "Situ Yongkang said.
"Maybe we will know after they finish investigating!" Situ Xiong said.
Similar to the situation of the Situ Family father and son, the other families also sent people to investigate this matter.
At the same time, after the Chen Family's Ancestor Chen Hongxuan and the Patriarchs of the eight major families announced the news that the Chen Family was about to change the Family Head, the Chen Family finally announced the most important news to the entire family.
After all, tomorrow was the day that Chen Hongyuan would take office. If the entire Chen Family did not know about it, then they might really be dumbfounded tomorrow, which was somewhat inexcusable.
Today, the news was released, at least everyone could be mentally prepared.
As a result, when the news came out, the entire Chen Family was in an uproar.
Although everyone felt that the news came too suddenly, they did not feel surprised. Instead, it was as if it was a matter of course.
Everyone in the Chen Family was very excited. In many people's hearts, they had long felt that the second young master Chen was the best candidate for the Chen Family's new Family Head. This result was only in line with their expectations.
However, everyone did not expect that the news came too suddenly. Tomorrow was the day that the second young master would take office, but the Chen Family had been hiding this news for so long.
Now, everyone finally understood why the people from the eight major families came to the Chen Family in the past few days.
Previously, everyone thought that they came to attend Miss Xinran's wedding, but now it seemed that their real purpose of coming to the Chen Family was to attend the ceremony for the second young master to take office.
They knew that this time, all the Patriarchs of the eight major families came. This was too much face.
They also knew that the Chen Family was not one of the three major families, and its position among the nine major families was not high. When the new Family Head took office, even if the Patriarchs of the other families gave face, the three major families would definitely not give face.
This was because the Jiang Family had a new Family Head in the nine major families recently. That was a matter of a few years ago, and some of the disciples had gone.
However, they followed the Great Elder and not the Family Head, so they were very clear about the situation of the Jiang Family at that time.
Besides the Feng Family, which had a good relationship with the Jiang Family, the other families had sent their elders to attend the ceremony.
However, now that the Chen Family's new Family Head had taken office, the Patriarchs of the eight major families had come personally. How much face was this?
Therefore, everyone in the Chen Family felt that the current Chen Family's status among the nine major families was getting higher and higher, and the second young master was also getting a lot of face.
