Chapter 372: Calm and Unhurried
Shen Wei was speechless, muttering to himself, "Do I believe what I said?"
"Let's observe for a while. This person is at most a pawn, not the real manipulator behind the scenes."
Lin Fan took a puff of his cigarette.
"Maybe he doesn't know much himself. If he acts rashly, he might just alert the enemy."
"So that's it."
Shen Wei suddenly understood.
"I object!"
Suddenly, a voice broke the silence.
"Father, how can you support Du Yunkai to become the head of the family..."
The young man who spoke seemed extremely excited.
"He is the son of the eldest son of the Du family, Du Yuanze." Shen Wei explained to Lin Fan.
"His father lost his position as head of the family, and his hopes were dashed, so he was so excited."
"Indeed, just like the ancient throne, once it is decided, it cannot be changed."
Lin Fan nodded, expressing his understanding of the young man's feelings.
"Quiet!"
The eldest brother of the Du family saw his son's provocation and said sternly: "This is the result of a discussion between your grandfather and a few of us!"
"Impossible! How can he be qualified to be the head of the Du family? I don't believe it!" the young man said angrily.
"Yes, we don't believe it either." Several young people echoed, they all hoped to have the opportunity to lead the Du family.
If Du Yunkai becomes the leader, they will have no chance.
"Whether you believe it or not, this is the decision made by Grandpa and my brothers." Du Yunkai looked at them coldly. "I respect their decision, and I hope you younger generations will respect it as well."
"Respect you? Why do you think you deserve that?" Du Yuan said angrily, "You must have used some tricks to cause this result."
"Boss, I hope this is the last time I discipline your son." There was a chill in Du Yunkai's voice.
"Alright." The Du family's eldest brother was startled and stepped forward to slap Du Yuanze. "It's not your turn to meddle in family affairs. Get out of here!"
"Father, why are you afraid of him?" Du Yuan said, covering his face. "I'm not afraid of him. I want everyone to know that he's not fit to be the head."
"That's right, he's just a side branch, how can he be in charge of the Du family?" someone echoed. "That's like asking a beggar to become emperor."
The young people of the Du family expressed their opinions one after another. Du Yunkai realized that he had ignored their attitudes and that the situation might become more complicated.
"What's going on?" the onlookers began to discuss. "They're right. Du Yunkai is not qualified to be the head."
"There must be something here that we don't know."
The people who had come to the banquet had become spectators, discussing the situation in low voices. They were surprised by the change in the Du family. They had originally thought it was a battle between several competitors, but unexpectedly, an unexpected situation had occurred.
Hearing people's discussions, Du Yunkai's face became even gloomier: "Brothers, don't you have anything to say or do?"
The five brothers of the Du family barely suppressed their anger and stopped their children. Although the storm was temporarily calmed, it was far from over.
Even if their lives were threatened, the five brothers would not give up easily. Shen Wei commented on the sidelines: "These people are really cowardly."
"If it were me, I'd rather flip the table and stop playing. Even if I die, I'd drag Du Yunkai down with me." Lin Fan smiled. "Haha, that's what youthful vigor looks like."
"The five brothers are all veterans. How could they give up so easily? There will definitely be many more struggles ahead."
"Brother Fan, what are your plans?"
"Eat first and then talk."
"Well, I'm full."
"Let's go then. I have to get back to work."
Lin Fan didn't want to stay any longer. The target was already clear, so he just needed to send someone to monitor it.
Once the manipulator behind Du Yunkai appears, he will take action.
Using witchcraft to try to control secular families is itself a provocation to the rules.
As one of the "Kings of Heaven", he is responsible for protecting the country.
"Leaving now?"
Shen Wei was slightly disappointed. He thought Lin Fan would deal with Du Yunkai immediately.
"Or? You want to stay for dinner? Come on, let's go see your grandfather first."
Lin Fan said this and walked straight out.
He had lost interest in the subsequent developments; the real climax had yet to come.
"Brother Fan, wait for me."
Shen Wei hurried to catch up.
After leaving the Du family, the two went directly to the Shen family.
"Let's find a place to buy some gifts on the way. I can't come empty-handed on my first visit."
On the way, Lin Fan said to Shen Wei.
"Brother Fan, when you come to my house, it's like coming home. Why do you need to bring any gifts?"
Shen Wei shook his head.
"Besides, you're here to visit my grandfather. If I ask you to bring a gift, won't he teach me a lesson?"
"hehe."
Seeing Shen Wei say this, Lin Fan no longer insisted.
When they arrived at the Shen family's house, Shen Wei's grandfather Shen Luting and his father Shen Quwen were already waiting at the door to greet them.
The two family elders personally came to greet him, showing their high regard for Lin Fan.
"Mr. Shen, Uncle Shen..."
Lin Fan stepped forward.
"Haha, Mr. Lin, I'm finally looking forward to having you visit the Shen family."
Shen Luting held Lin Fan's hand with a smile on his face.
"Our last meeting was too hasty. I've always hoped you could come to my house and visit me."
"Haha, Mr. Shen came to support me last time, but I haven't thanked him in person yet."
Lin Fan smiled and talked to Shen Luting.
Shen Quwen watched Lin Fan from the side, his eyes full of admiration.
This was his first time meeting Lin Fan, and he discovered that he was even better than he had imagined.
Young people usually appear reserved in front of their elders, but Lin Fan was calm and relaxed, chatting and laughing freely.
"Please come in."
Shen Luting held Lin Fan's hand, knowing how important Lin Fan was.
Especially given the current turbulent situation, establishing a friendly relationship with Lin Fan is undoubtedly a guarantee.
After entering the house, everyone sat down to drink tea and chat.
"Grandpa, have you heard? There's a big commotion at the Du family. A dog actually ended up on the dinner table."
"Ah."
Shen Luting nodded and looked at Lin Fan.
"Mr. Lin, is Du Yunkai the mastermind behind this?"
"It's just a chess piece, so I didn't act rashly."
Lin Fan replied.
"Brother Fan, don't worry about anything else. First, help me check if Grandpa has been cursed."
Shen Wei said anxiously.
Shen Luting and Shen Quwen looked a little more serious.
"Haha, I've checked and I haven't been hit by any black magic." Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Mr. Shen is in good health. He just has some minor problems. I will prescribe some medicine for you later." He continued.
"Oh? Thank you so much, Mr. Lin." Shen Luting breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Grandpa, didn't you say before that you had a headache and heart discomfort? How do you feel now?" Shen Wei asked with concern.
"I feel better now. I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere." Shen Luting replied.
"It seems that your previous discomfort was caused by the black magic." Shen Wei chuckled.
"You little brat, I've seen all kinds of situations at my age, why would I be afraid of this?" Shen Luting scolded with a smile.
"But this black magic is really scary. It can kill people silently."
