Top-notch Urban Evil Cultivator

The scout's hand trembled violently, and the note fluttered to the ground.

His hand, which was holding the cane, loosened weakly, and the cane fell to the ground with a "thud".

That sound.

It was like opening the door to a noisy world.

"Second Uncle! How is my eldest brother?"

Tong Jin hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.

The scout didn't speak, but slowly closed his eyes, and two lines of tears slid down his cheeks.

"The patriarch...is he really gone?"

"How could it be so fast..."

"It's over, the Tong family is in chaos now. They just offended the Chen family, and now..."

Some were shocked, some were saddened, and others had a hint of smugness and excitement in their eyes.

The head of the family is gone!

The new homeowner has arrived!

Liu Meiyuan was the first to step forward, her voice trembling with tears: "Butler Quan, there can't be any mistake! I went to check last night, and Old Tong was still here!"

An Quan bowed his head, his voice hoarse: "Madam... Dr. Zhao personally confirmed that the head of the family... passed away in the early hours of the morning."

After receiving confirmation from the two people, the courtyard erupted in chaos.

Behind Liu Meiyuan, a middle-aged man wearing glasses stepped forward:

"Second Master, now that the patriarch has passed away, and with the Chen family eyeing us covetously, we need to elect a new patriarch as soon as possible to take charge! I believe... Madam Liu has served the patriarch for many years and understands the company best; she should rightfully take over!"

"fart!"

Someone immediately objected to Tong Jin's side.

"How can we hand the Tong family over to outsiders! Tong Jin is the patriarch's younger brother, with outstanding abilities; he is the best candidate!"

"Is Madam Liu an outsider? She's worked so hard for the Tong family for so many years! Even if she hasn't done anything particularly meritorious, she's certainly put in a lot of effort!"

"Tong Jin is the true successor!"

......

The two groups started arguing, and the noise grew louder and louder.

Liu Meiyuan and Tong Jin stood in front of their respective camps, neither of them speaking, but their eyes met.

A clash of titans.

Neither side will back down.

The scout slowly opened his eyes, looking down at the younger generation arguing heatedly, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Is the Tong family really without a successor?

He looked at Anquan, then asked, "Anquan, who do you think is suitable?"

Anquan shook his head: "Second Master, I don't know. The patriarch...didn't mention it before he died."

"well..."

The scout sighed, feeling somewhat powerless.

"No matter who it is, you must assist them well. The Tong family... cannot be thrown into chaos."

"Yes!" Anquan replied, bowing his head.

The argument continued in the courtyard.

Just when the situation was about to get out of control.

A clear, crisp sound came from outside the courtyard gate:

"Everyone, aren't you getting a little impatient?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire courtyard.

Everyone was stunned and turned to look.

Tong Yao, dressed in a black suit, walked into the courtyard with a cold expression.

Lin Xuan and Zhao Xueli followed behind her, and then two rows of bodyguards in black suits, exuding an imposing aura.

When Tong Jun saw Tong Yao, his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up.

correct!

Tong Yao!

Tong Yao walked to the center of the courtyard, scanned the area, and finally fixed her gaze on Tong Jun.

She bowed slightly: "Second Grandfather."

"Yaoyao... your dad?" The scout's voice trembled.

"My dad... but in the end he said he wanted me to take charge!" Tong Yao straightened up, her voice eerily calm.

"You're in charge? You're just a junior!" Someone on Liu Meiyuan's side had just started to mock him.

Tong Yao held up her phone, and Tong Yuan's weak voice came through:

"The Tong family... will be handed over to Tong Yao in the future..."

Everyone fell silent.

The reason why the Tong family was able to gain the title of "family" in Jiangzhou is entirely due to Tong Yuan! Through decades of hard work, he has become comparable to those old families in Jiangzhou.

Therefore, his words were like a royal decree in the Tong family!

He has now left behind a "last will and testament"!

Tong Yao coldly swept her gaze over the person who had just spoken: "Uncle Li, you worked for my dad for over ten years. Don't think I don't know what you did. If it weren't for my dad's old friendship, ha..."

The man's face turned pale instantly, his mouth agape but he dared not utter a word.

Tong Yao looked to the other side, her eyes showing no fear of anyone.

"I know what you're thinking! My dad's gone, the Tong family is going to be in chaos, you can take this opportunity to profit and choose sides."

She paused, her voice suddenly turning cold:

"But I'm telling you! The Tong family won't fall into chaos!"

"From today onwards, I, Tong Yao, will temporarily assume the position of head of the family!"

"Who's in favor, and who's opposed?"

After Tong Yao finished speaking, the courtyard fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned, including Liu Meiyuan and Tong Jin.

No one expected that this young lady would step forward in such a strong manner at this time and announce that she would take over the Tong family.

She's just a junior, isn't she?

After a brief silence, an elderly man with gray hair spoke up:

"Yaoyao, you're still so young... to shoulder such a heavy responsibility."

"Third Uncle, I've been with my father since I was little. I joined the company at twenty-two, took charge of projects independently at twenty-three, and became the head of the company at twenty-five. Last year, we secured the South City Development Zone. In terms of ability, who here is less capable than me?"

"In terms of status, I am Tong Yuan's biological daughter, a direct descendant of the Tong family, and I also have my father's will. Who among you dares to object?"

"I!"

Liu Meiyuan finally couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward.

Although tears still clung to her face, her voice sharpened: "Yaoyao, I know you're sad, but the Tong family isn't a game. Your father just passed away, and you're already in such a hurry to seize power?"

"Seize power? Liu Meiyuan, I haven't even asked you yet, where were you when my father had his accident last night? At which drinking party were you? With which man were you?" Tong Yao sneered.

"What nonsense are you spouting! I was just out socializing for the company!"

"Socializing until 2 or 3 AM? Tell me, did you poison my dad?!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

"poison?"

"What poison? The patriarch died of poisoning?"

"Isn't it a stomach hemorrhage?"

"Did Liu Meiyuan poison him?"

Immediately, there was much discussion.

Liu Meiyuan's face turned deathly pale as she pointed at Tong Yao: "You...you're slandering me! I've been married to your father for years, how could I..."

"Yes, for several years now, my health has been deteriorating, while the money in your overseas accounts has been increasing. Should I investigate further?"

Liu Meiyuan trembled and was speechless.

On the other side, seeing that the situation was not going well, Tong Jin also stepped in to smooth things over: "Yao Yao, this is not the time to pursue these matters. The most urgent thing is to elect a new family head. You are still young, and the future is yours. Why don't we let your second uncle..."

"Second Uncle, last month you embezzled 20 million from the company to go to a casino in Macau. My dad covered it up for you, but now, we need to settle things."

Tong Jin's face turned ashen: "You... what nonsense are you spouting!"

"Is this nonsense? Should I contact Mr. He in Macau?"

Tong Jin broke out in a cold sweat and dared not speak again.

Tong Yao looked at the entire audience again.

No one dared to meet her gaze.

Those who were just clamoring to elect a new head of the family now lowered their heads, afraid of being targeted.

Lin Xuan, standing behind Tong Yao, nodded inwardly upon seeing Tong Yao's domineering presence.

This girl may be fierce, but she's also really domineering!

Tong Yao sneered and spoke again:

"Now I'll ask you one more time: who's in favor, and who's opposed?"
