The Head of Household Selection Assembly had ended! The parlor was empty now!
Su Hao Nan, Qin Feng, and Su Qiu Yue were sitting in a circle in his room. The Head of Household Selection Assembly had gone smoothly, and all four of them had faint joy on their faces!
"Xia Tian, go and throw away the red sandalwood at the head of the bed!" Su Hao Nan's expression darkened as he looked at the incense altar at the head of the bed!
"Grandpa! The red sandalwood in the incense altar was just replaced a few days ago. There's still a lot left! "Su Xia Tian pouted and hugged her grandpa's arm.
Su Qiu Yue pinched her little sister's chubby cheeks and said softly, "Go, little sister. Listen to grandpa!"
Su Xia Tian glared at Qin Feng reluctantly. Then, she stood up and went to throw away the remaining red sandalwood. "This stinky brat doesn't do anything but eat in our house. Grandpa and Big Sister will kick him out today!"
Su Hao Nan and Su Qiu Yue laughed when they saw Su Xia Tian's adorable grumbling. After Su Xia Tian left the room, the elder's expression suddenly turned cold. He looked at Su Qiu Yue and said, "Qiu Yue, you saw it too!"
Su Qiu Yue was a meticulous woman. During the family meeting, she noticed that the elder had purposely asked Second Uncle to change the incense altar in the parlor. Now, the first thing her grandpa did when he returned to the house was to change the incense altar at the head of his bed. Clearly, there was a problem!
"As an important direct relative of the family, Second Uncle wouldn't even know how to light incense. However, Second Uncle was able to accurately take out the red sandalwood from more than ten drawers. This means that he knows where the sandalwood is stored very well. This is very suspicious!"
Su Qiu Yue analyzed unhurriedly, "Grandpa, you want to change the red sandalwood at the head of your bed. Could it be that you suspect there's a problem with the red sandalwood?"
Su Hao Nan looked at Su Qiu Yue with a pleasantly surprised expression. He nodded his head gratifyingly, "Good! Well said! Qiu Yue is really meticulous and observant. Now that the position of the Patriarch is in your hands, this old man can finally rest assured! "
"Your analysis is correct, there's indeed something wrong with this incense wood … Qin Feng reminded me of this last night before he left. At the time, I only had my suspicions, but this morning, during the family meeting, I received confirmation. This incense wood was all red sandalwood that your Second Uncle replaced. There's a colorless and odorless poisonous gas in it. Every day, I sleep in this room and inhale the poisonous gas mixed with the fragrance. Do you think an old man like me can live well?"
"Sigh … I didn't expect this, I really didn't expect this! The two brats that I've painstakingly trained are trying to kill me behind my back! One used Uncle Li to poison my food, and the other tampered with my incense. If you didn't find the right person and invite him back in time, I'm afraid I would've been dead by now, and the Su family would've been in chaos! "
After experiencing the family's internal strife and the bloodbath, Su Hao Nan was filled with emotions.
Originally, he didn't officially pass on the position of the Patriarch to Su Qiu Yue because she was a girl and she was still young. However, after this incident, the elder had completely come to terms with it. That was why he called a family meeting as soon as he woke up and officially passed the position of the Patriarch to Su Qiu Yue!
Su Qiu Yue's expression changed slightly after hearing the elder's words. She stole a glance at Qin Feng. She didn't expect this frivolous and lecherous guy to be so shrewd and farsighted. Many of the problems in the family's internal strife were solved by Qin Feng. Many problems that even she and her grandfather couldn't see clearly didn't escape Qin Feng's discerning eyes!
Su Qiu Yue was cold and arrogant by nature. She had high standards. With her title as the most talented woman in Sky City, she had the capital to act like an arrogant queen. Among her peers, Su Qiu Yue rarely found anyone she liked, especially those rich young masters who idled away their time. They disappointed her greatly.
Now, a handsome young man who hid his strength, bravery, and strategy suddenly stood before her. Both of them were about the same age, and both of them were brimming with talent! This was a rare and exciting thing for Su Qiu Yue. However, when she thought that this person was with her younger sister, Su Qiu Yue was gratified, but at the same time, she felt a tinge of loneliness!
"Grandpa! Next time, ask Qin Feng to do this kind of thing. This person isn't a member of the Su family. Just order him around like a servant! "Su Xia Tian angrily ran back after she finished pouring the incense.
Su Hao Nan loved this willful and mischievous granddaughter the most. He hugged her in his arms and dotingly stroked her hair. "Silly girl! Sooner or later, Qin Feng will become a member of the Su Family. You must cherish him in the future. Qin Feng is an outstanding young man. If you keep ordering him around and complaining about him, he might abandon you in the end and find a better-looking and more obedient girl! "
Su Qiu Yue immediately widened her eyes and stared coldly at Qin Feng. "How dare he! If he really does that, I'll cripple him! "
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Xia Tian realized something was wrong. She hastily yelled with a red face, "Ptui ptui ptui! When did I say I wanted to marry him? He won't become a member of the Su family. I don't like this stinking brat! "
Su Xia Tian's chatter was a source of amusement. Su Hao Nan and Su Qiu Yue couldn't stop laughing. Even Qin Feng was melted by this cute and willful little girl. If the elder wasn't here, he would've rushed up, hugged her, and kissed her forcefully!
Su Hao Nan had won the first battle. The four of them were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good.
In the living room of a private villa, the atmosphere was extremely cold!
This villa was the residence of Su Qiu Yue's third uncle, Su Hai. In his house, he should've been treated like a local tyrant. However, at this moment, he stood cautiously beside the tea table like a servant. On the sofa sat an old man wrapped in black cloth. He wore a large straw hat on his head, and a black curtain blocked his eyes. No one could see his face clearly.
"Expert, I-I failed!" Su Hai lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
"My dad has woken up. He called for a family meeting this morning. Now that b * tch Su Qiu Yue has become the head of the Su family. What should we do?"
"What a good-for-nothing!" The old man's voice was cold and distant as if it came from far away. "You can't even complete such a simple task. You even wasted half a year of my time. If I knew this would happen, I would've done it myself. The Su family would've been mine by now!"
The old man was very angry. He smashed the ashtray on the tea table into pieces. His eyes hidden under the black curtain were like those of a venomous snake. He glared at Su Hai and said, "We'll do it tonight. You kill that old man yourself! If you make any more mistakes, don't come back to me alive! "
The old man's order made Su Hai's legs turn to jelly!
He was about to beg the old man again, but when he looked up, he discovered that the sofa opposite him was empty. The black-robed old man was nowhere to be seen!
He came and went without a trace! This old man was indeed an otherworldly expert!
Su Hai had known the old man for half a year. It was the old man who came to him!
The first time they met, the old man gave Su Hai some poison and asked him to put it in Su Hao Nan's food. It would only take three months for Su Hao Nan to die mysteriously. No one could find out the ingredients of the poison, and no doctor could save Su Hao Nan. This was because the poison was a secret prescription of the old man's sect. How could an outsider cure it?
At the same time, the old man promised Su Hai that once Su Hao Nan died, he would use the power of his sect to help Su Hai seize the position of the head of the Su family. Then, they would cooperate and develop together!
Su Hai's plan was progressing smoothly according to the old man's request. The elder was about to die, and he was about to seize the position of the head of the family. However, he didn't expect that Qin Feng would suddenly appear out of nowhere and ruin his long-planned plan!
Su Hai's legs turned to jelly, and he knelt on the floor. This decision was too difficult. He was struggling in his heart for the last time!
Either my dad dies, or I die! Most people were selfish when it came to their lives. They would even betray and kill their own siblings and parents. Su Hai had chosen to frame his father three months ago. Now, he naturally chose to act tonight. He wanted to put an end to this dirty plot!
… …
Night fell. The Su family's old residence was shrouded in silence!
A black figure suddenly appeared. He was dressed in black, and even his face was covered by a black mask. He held a dagger that gleamed with a cold light and approached Su Hao Nan's room step by step!
The lights in the surrounding houses were off. Su Hao Nan's room was also pitch-black!
The man in black paused at the door for a while. After making sure there was no threat, he slowly opened the door and entered the inner room!
Su Hao Nan was sleeping on his back on the spacious wooden bed. His breathing was steady and even. He seemed to be sleeping soundly. A trace of viciousness flashed through the man in black's eyes. He suddenly grabbed the dagger and charged at Su Hao Nan.
Kacha!
Before the dagger could land, the door was opened again. Though the sound was soft, the man in black heard it. He was so frightened that he hastily withdrew the dagger and hid behind the door.
Not long after, another man in black walked in. He also observed the door for a while. Without hesitation, he grabbed a kitchen knife and slashed at Su Hao Nan on the bed!
Bang!
Before the second man in black could land his knife, the door was suddenly slammed shut!
With a click, the lights in the room were switched on!
The two men in black, who had adapted to the darkness, couldn't open their eyes when they were suddenly blinded by the bright light. They instinctively covered their eyes with their hands and looked around through the gaps between their hands!
They looked around! Their hearts were in their throats. They were so frightened that they almost fell to the ground!
Su Hao Nan, who was lying on the bed, thought he was asleep, had already gotten up. He sat upright at the head of the bed and glared fiercely at the two men in black!
Su Qiu Yue and Su Xia Tian stood on either side of the bed, guarding the elder. Qin Feng stood at the door, blocking their only escape route!
