Chapter 2140: Electing a family head

Ye Wanwan immediately dispatched her top elites to Jin City to investigate the matter.

However, three days pa.s.sed and there still wasn’t any news. They only discovered a b.l.o.o.d.y handkerchief that belonged to Madam Nie.

After learning of this, Ye Wanwan personally visited Jin City but found nothing.

Her mother’s b.l.o.o.d.y handkerchief made Ye Wanwan’s mind uneasy. But there was nothing they could do at this point. They didn’t even know who the culprit was.

In the meeting room:

The atmosphere was unprecedentedly serious.

“Based on the current situation, it’s extremely possible the patriarch and madam have met an unfortunate fate. A clan can’t be without a head, so I suggest for us to hurry and elect a new head so that they can preside over the present situation for us.”

“Old Three, what are you saying? Before the patriarch left, he appointed Second Miss as the temporary family head already, so she’s naturally in charge of everything.”

“As you just said, First Elder, it was temporary. However, how can we hand the Nie family over to a temporarily appointed person in such an urgent time? We should naturally hurry and pick the most suitable candidate—that’s the top priority.”

“I agree.”

“That’s right, I also agree!”

“Although Second Miss is very capable, you must all know that Second Miss’s martial arts strength isn’t as it once was. How could she hold the position as the Nie family head at that level?”

“First Elder, don’t forget the rule established by the previous patriarch!”

“Of course I remember, but only Second Miss is the most suitable candidate right now.”

“I don’t think so! Regardless of martial talent or capabilities, I think Third Miss is the most suitable candidate. Everyone has seen Third Miss’s capabilities for themselves over the years!”

“Utterly ludicrous! Nie Linglong isn’t related to the Nie family by blood, so how could she hold the position of family head?”

“First Elder, aren’t your words improper? Our current patriarch’s previous name wasn’t Nie Huaili and he was actually a member of the Ling family! Since even the son of the Nie family’s archenemy, the Ling family, could become the head of our Nie family, why can’t Third Miss become the head?!”

“You… you’re simply…” First Elder didn’t expect the other person to bring this matter up and couldn’t conjure anything to refute it.

“You’re right. After Third Miss becomes the family head, she can choose to marry a young and promising youth from our Nie family. She wouldn’t violate any rules then!”

Ye Wanwan calmly watched everyone arguing. After hearing that, what else didn’t she understand?

Since that elder supported Nie Linglong so staunchly, Nie Linglong probably promised to marry his son after becoming the family head.

“The matter is urgent, so please start voting now, everyone!”

“Voting? Voting your a**! Dad and Mom just got into an accident, yet you’re in such a hurry to elect a family head. What? Are you all hoping for Dad and Mom to die?” Nameless Nie ran his eyes over all the higher-ups and elders present.

“How could you say that? The Nie family has centuries of estates, so we can only prioritize the big picture at this current stage. We’re just as sad and grieving that something like this happened to the patriarch and madam, but a dragon can’t be headless. We will elect a new family head first so that we can better investigate what happened,” a higher-up retorted.

Nameless Nie wanted to say something else, but Ye Wanwan sent him a look to tell him to stop speaking.

Since these elders and higher-ups dared to act like this, they had to have a contingency plan. The situation today was very disadvantageous for her and Nameless Nie, and electing a family head was a rule. Everyone had to obey the rules regardless of who they were.

In the end, aside from First Elder, everyone actually voted for and elected Nie Linglong as the head of the Nie family.
