Just after coming down the mountain, the beautiful CEO took me to register

Chapter 154: Kill Me

As the discussion intensified, everyone's eyes unconsciously turned to Zhao Tong and Zhao Xinghui. It was well known that they had long coveted the position of head of the family.

Now that the old man had his eye on Zhao Ziqing, how could they possibly let it go? Surprisingly, however, the two men simply sat quietly, silent and without looking up. Unnoticed, their nails dug deep into their clenched fists.

"Is anyone dissatisfied? If you have any opinions, feel free to raise them. I have always been a democratic person." Zhao Anmin looked around and spoke in a calm tone.

"Grandpa, how could you choose Zhao Ziqing as the head of the family? The position of head of the family should belong to my father!" A young man stepped forward with a loud voice.

Zhao Tong's face suddenly changed. He wanted to stop it but it was too late. He had originally planned to use others to stir up trouble, but he didn't expect his son to be the first to do so.

"Your father? Haha." Zhao Anmin glanced at the young man and turned to Zhao Tong, "Boss, did you instruct your son to say that?"

"No, father, I never instructed him to say that." Zhao Tong's heart tightened. He quickly stood up and glared at his son, "Sit down!"

"Father..." The young man refused to give in. He knew that if his father couldn't become the head of the family, his own future would be even more uncertain. He still dreamed of inheriting the throne one day!

"Go ask your father if he is qualified to be the head of the family?" Zhao Anmin said slowly to the young man.

"I... I am not worthy of being the head of the family. I have no objection to Zhao Ziqing being the head of the family." Zhao Tong gritted his teeth and lowered his head, "Father!" The young man was anxious but was interrupted by Zhao Tong's angry shout: "Shut up! Sit down!" The young man had no choice but to sit down in disappointment.

"Grandpa, why is Zhao Ziqing the head of the family? She's just a woman!" Zhao Xinghui's son also stood up and questioned, "If she becomes the head of the family, will the Zhao family still be called Zhao?" This statement immediately resonated with many people, "Please think twice before you act!"

"So what if she's a woman? Since she's a member of the Zhao family, she has the right to be the head of the family." Zhao Anmin looked at him firmly. "As for the future name of the Zhao family, it all depends on her wishes. If she wants the surname Zhao, then it's Zhao; if she wants the surname Lin, then it's Lin!"

Opposition voices arose one after another, and even some elders couldn't help but speak out: "Third brother, the Zhao family is our common family. You have to consider the overall situation."

A white-haired old man slowly began to admonish, "Third Uncle, Zhao Ziqing becoming the head of the family will inevitably lead to civil unrest, which is not good for the Zhao family!"

Hearing the wave of opposition coming from all sides, Zhao Ziqing wanted to stand up and argue, but Lin Fan gently held his arm down and said, "Let your grandfather handle it."

Lin Fan whispered, "Even if you don't want to be the head of the family, you shouldn't express your opinion at this moment, otherwise you will be standing on the opposite side of him." Zhao Ziqing nodded after a slight hesitation after listening to Lin Fan's advice.

"Haha." Zhao Anmin suddenly laughed. Seeing this, everyone quieted down and started to wonder in their hearts - what on earth was he laughing at?

"Someone come here!" Zhao Anmin suppressed his smile and shouted, and soon someone was brought in, "Zhao Xingyu!" Everyone recognized him at a glance, and their faces changed suddenly - they hadn't seen Zhao Xingyu for several days.

At Zhao Anmin's command, Zhao Xingyu was strictly isolated and no one was allowed to contact him except himself.

But within a few days, Zhao Xingyu looked haggard and in a miserable state.

"What happened to his legs?"

Someone caught a glimpse of Zhao Xingyu's dragging legs and his expression changed drastically.

The legs were twisted and deformed, obviously useless.

"This evil creature, in order to seize the position of Patriarch, poisoned me twice and nearly killed me!"

Zhao Anmin pointed at Zhao Xingyu, who was lying on the ground, his voice as cold as ice.

"If it weren't for my grandson-in-law Lin Fan saving me, I would have died long ago!"

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me..."

Zhao Xingyu was in a trance and kept begging for mercy.

"He is my son after all. I can spare his life. But if it were someone else, hmph, you can think about the consequences yourself."

Zhao Anmin's words were even more sinister, causing the opponents present to tremble in their hearts.

This is undoubtedly a naked threat.

People say that even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but Zhao Anmin was so cruel that he could even kill his own son.

"I've thought deeply about it. I'm also responsible for his fate."

Zhao Anmin's tone slowed down a little.

"If I had chosen the right person for the head of the family earlier, he might not have been so greedy. Therefore, today I announced Zhao Ziqing as the new head of the family to prevent the Zhao family from falling apart in the future."

Everyone glanced at Zhao Xingyu, then at Zhao Tong and Zhao Xinghui, wondering if they would really give up.

"Come here, take him away and keep him under strict guard. Just make sure he doesn't die."

Zhao Anmin waved his hand, and Zhao Xingyu was dragged away like a rag doll.

"Please spare me, I really know I was wrong..."

Zhao Xingyu's cries gradually faded away.

Zhao Anmin looked around the audience expressionlessly.

"Go ahead, anyone else want to comment?"

"..."

At this moment, no one dared to object.

Zhao Xingyu’s miserable condition is still vivid in people’s minds. Who would dare to offend Zhao Anmin easily?

Over the years, they seemed to have forgotten Zhao Anmin's iron-blooded methods.

How could someone who could bring the Zhao family into the list of the top ten families be soft-hearted?

It's just that time has dulled his edge, making him look a little kinder.

"Since no one objects, it's settled. If anyone objects or tries to sabotage me from now on, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Zhao Anmin nodded with satisfaction.

Lin Fan stared at Zhao Anmin, and only then did he truly feel the majesty and means of this old man.

Zhao Anmin is the real celebrity in Ancheng.

"By then, not only will he be doomed to die, but his entire family will also be expelled from the Zhao family."

Zhao Anmin emphasized again.

The banquet hall was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

Many people were secretly shocked that they would be expelled from the family after their death.

Zhao Anmin did everything he could to help his granddaughter get to the throne.

"Since everyone has no objection, let's start the dinner."

Zhao Anmin glanced at the entire audience and slowly sat down.

"Big Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, did you remember what I said?"

"Father, I fully support you letting Xiaoqing be the head of the family. I'm so happy."

Zhao Xingmin forced a smile.

"If Xiaoqing becomes the head of the family, I can enjoy myself for a few more years."

"Humph."

Zhao Anmin snorted coldly, feeling helpless about this disappointing son.

But on second thought, it is better to fail than to have rebellious thoughts.

"grandfather……"

"Xiaoqing, Grandpa announced this without consulting you. You won't blame me, right?"

Zhao Anmin smiled kindly.

"I'm just afraid you won't agree. Now that I've said it, you have to be the head of this family, whether you like it or not. If you refuse, how will others view me and my position as head of this family? Being the head of this family represents the honor and responsibility of the family, and it's not something to be taken lightly."
