"Yes!"
Agreeing to it, they quickly surrounded him!
"Third Elder, come with us!"
"That’s right, Third Elder, don’t make it hard for us!"
"Right!"
After surrounding the Third Elder, they quickly began to speak in unison.
The Third Elder glanced at them, his face cold as he replied, "No need for you to take action, I’ll go myself!"
When the wall falls, everyone pushes!
He knew this principle, so he didn’t plan to say anything more now.
He understood that no one would believe his words anymore.
Hearing his response, those surrounding him took a slight step back.
Seeing them make way, the Third Elder started to walk. After a couple of steps, he turned to look at everyone.
He knew from now on, he was completely stepping out of the family’s core of power...
From now on, anything happening in the family had little to do with him.
...
"Ridiculous, what I pursued all my life ends like this!"
Thinking about how miserable his current state was, the Third Elder wanted to burst into laughter...
To him, this outcome was truly pitiful.
But he didn’t care anymore...
The fate of the people here might not end much better than his.
"Finally, we’ve managed to drive one away. This time, we’ve truly managed to shake up these elders!"
After he left, Cao Meng muttered to himself with a grin.
He knew that after today’s events, these elders would be more sensible and wouldn’t dare to stir up trouble in the short term.
Thinking this, Cao Meng gently clapped his hands to catch everyone’s attention, then smiled lightly and said, "From now on, I’ll personally take charge of the matters the Third Elder was responsible for! As the Family Head, I think I should really take on more responsibility myself! Always letting you all work so hard, I really feel guilty at times!"
"Family Head, it’s what we should do!"
"Yes, Family Head!"
"We’re truly happy to contribute to the family!"
They knew they had to express their stance quickly now, or they might also be driven out...
Hearing their eager expressions, Cao Meng chuckled lightly, "Alright! Since we’re all here today, let’s take this opportunity to discuss a few issues!"
"Great!"
Agreeing, they quickly sat opposite Cao Meng...
Cao Meng gave them a glance and calmly sat back in the main seat.
Cao Meng really wanted to drive all of them away, but he knew now was not the right time, so he suppressed the impulse...
...
Half an hour later, Cao Meng watched everyone leave!
At this moment, he was very satisfied because he clearly felt their attitude towards him had changed significantly.
"It seems this tactic to shake the mountain and scare the tiger worked really well!"
With a proud smile, Cao Meng heard respectful words being spoken.
"Family Head, you’re truly amazing. In such a short time, you’ve managed to sort them out completely."
Giving him a sidelong glance, Cao Meng spoke proudly, "For others, this might be difficult, but for me, it’s really not that hard. After all, my strength is here!"
Said with such pride, he suddenly remarked, "By the way, later, send someone to keep an eye on that Third Elder. I don’t want him causing any trouble, do you understand what I mean?"
"Yes, I understand!"
Before, he was so sure of his success that he didn’t double-check the account balance. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been caught in such an awkward situation.
"No, I can’t just give up like this, absolutely not!"
With a twitch of his eye, he quickly pulled out his phone...
Hesitating for a second, he swiftly dialed the number of an elder he had a particularly good relationship with.
"He’s really been good to me, and at a time like this, he surely won’t abandon me!"
Murmuring to himself, he quietly waited for the call to be answered.
However, his expression turned grim...
Because at that moment, he heard a notification sound, "Sorry, the person you’re calling is busy, please try again later."
He knew the other person was deliberately not answering his call.
"Haha, all those brotherly words in normal times, but when it really matters, you can’t rely on them at all!"
Nearly collapsing, he let out a roar, throwing his phone to the ground.
Seeing it shatter into pieces, he sat down indifferently...
He had wanted to call a few other elders, but at the last moment, he gave up because he knew none of them could be relied upon, and he shouldn’t humiliate himself...
As he chose to give up, those elders were gathered together!
After locking the door, they sat at the table with solemn expressions.
After sitting down, one of them scanned everyone and spoke in a low voice, "What do you all think of today’s events?"
Hearing such a straightforward question, everyone fell silent because they didn’t know how to answer.
To be honest, they couldn’t see through what was really happening either.
"None of you know what’s going on?"
"No!"
Seeing them nod, he frowned and said, "Honestly, I’m not sure what’s going on either, but I have a theory of my own, would you like to hear it?"
