1736 Elders Making Trouble
In the afternoon, the next day.
Huo Qing came back to the hospital again. Also, this time he came with other elders from the clan.
The elders found out about Master Jinfeng’s incident only this morning. When they discovered that Master Jinfeng might not survive, everyone promptly stormed to the hospital.
Huo Jinfeng was the current clan leader. The family’s future was directly connected to his life and death. Moreover, he never got married and even the heir had not been decided upon. Everyone naturally held their own interests in mind.
As for the man groomed as the heir, Huo Yulin was a capable man. Sadly, he had serious psychological problems, so it was inappropriate for him to take over as family head.
If he was unsuitable, how could one think of Miss Huo? Word spread in recent years that she was good, but she was just a girl from the countryside. What could she possibly do?
They did not take her seriously at all.
The entourage of people took the lift and went straight up to the 11th floor. Huo Qing felt puzzled why Huo Changfeng did not send his men to stop them on the ground floor.
When the lift door opened, they saw a fleet of armed bodyguards in the corridor. The question in Huo Qing’s head promptly disappeared.
The entire floor had been secured. Sure enough, Master Jinfeng was not doing well.
Huo Qing placed one hand behind him and glanced at the elders before walking out of the lift.
After taking a couple of steps, he was stopped in his path.
“My apologies everyone. Master Jinfeng needs to recuperate, so he can’t receive any guests.”
Among the bodyguards was Xie. He did not give a cold attitude like he did yesterday. Now, he looked polite and had a smile on his face.
“What’s going on with Master Jinfeng exactly?” Before Huo Qing was able to speak, an elder by the side asked worriedly.
Xie looked at the elder with the same smile on his face. “Master Jinfeng is fine. The hospital president said that he needs to recuperate for some time. I’ll be sure to tell him of your concern.”
It was clear that he wanted them to make themselves scarce.
“That won’t do. Other than visiting Master Jinfeng, we have something important to discuss with him. Since he’s fine, I’m sure it’s alright for him to see us briefly. We don’t want to hold up his time to recuperate either.”
Another elder spoke forcibly.
“After confirming Master Jinfeng is fine, everyone will feel less worried.”
“Uh huh. No matter what, we have to see the clan leader today. We won’t leave without seeing him.”
Huo Qing’s lips curved upward. He was very happy with the elders’ reaction. With just a few words, they had just put Huo Changfeng under immense pressure.
Even if they could not check on Master Jinfeng with their own eyes today, Huo Qing had already achieved what he wanted.
It was about time that the clan leader changed.
Xie frowned. As the elders spoke pompously, Xie stood in the corridor without moving the slightest. Instead, a mocking look emerged in his eyes.
Xie knew that these men were just here for themselves. On the surface, they wanted to see Master Jinfeng. In reality, they simply wanted to confirm if the clan leader could survive his injuries or not.
The moment they found out that Master Jinfeng was in a coma, in just a matter of days, the struggle for power would break out in the union.
Without Master Jinfeng’s suppression, did they think the Huo family could continue to call the shots in Country M?
All these people cared about were their own petty gains. They did not give a damn about long-term development. They were complete idiots!
Xie could not help glancing at Huo Qing again who had probably divulged the truth about Master Jinfeng’s condition to others.
“Hey! Calm down, everyone.” Huo Qing caught the look in Xie’s eyes and finally asked. “Where is Changfeng? Why don’t I see him anywhere?”
