When darkness covered the entire land of China, London, thousands of miles away, had just reached noon.

At noon, there is no sunlight in the sky over the city, light rain is sprinkled in the sky, fog envelops the whole city, visibility is extremely low, giving a foggy feeling, and the air is filled with the smell of humidity.

London locals are used to the weather, and for tourists, it's terrible!

The bad weather completely disrupted their travel plans, and their mood suddenly changed from spring to winter.

It's not just tourists who are in a bad mood, but also Edward Sr., who is known as the godfather of British finance.

Because he received a report from his assistant that the family had a lot of business to discuss, and learned that Chen Fan was going to Dalian, the elder Edward refused to be retained by those officials of the Donghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, and returned to London directly by special plane.

As always, when Edward Sr.'s plane arrived, the Kerner family's bodyguards had been waiting for a long time.

After the elder Edward got off the plane, he got straight into his Rolls-Royce Silver and headed to the Kernar family castle.

What old Edward didn't expect was that after he arrived at the castle, he was forcibly taken to Crewe's villa and placed under house arrest!

"Father, have you thought about it?"

In the study of the villa, Crewe said to old Edward with a cigar in his mouth.

"Crewe, I will never give you the position of patriarch!" In the face of Crewe's forced palace, old Edward turned pale with anger and trembled.

"Father, actually...... I'm also doing it for your own good. You are old and useless, so it is not suitable for you to continue tossing, otherwise you will not be able to toss out of illness. Crewe's face was unfazed, as if everything was under his control: "Give up the power and position, leave it to me, and I will keep the glory of the Kerner family forever!" ”

"Don't dream, that's impossible!" Old Edward's eyes widened, and he stared at Crewe, not compromising at all.

"Father." Seeing that old Edward was obsessed, Crewe snuffed out his cigar, spread it out, and said, "To be honest, I am very reluctant to have a complete fight with you. ”

Old Edward looked indifferent and silent, as if in his opinion, as long as he did not agree to hand over power, Crewe could do nothing.

"Maybe in your opinion, as long as you don't let go, I can't take away the position of this patriarch." Crewe seemed to see through old Edward's thoughts, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and his tone became cold: "Actually, I just want you to cooperate, and at the same time give you some face, not no way." If you really stick to the end, then don't blame me for not giving you face! ”

"Less hydrazine

In the face of Crewe's naked threat, old Edward almost fainted, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Crewe, and scolded: "Bastard! You bastard! ”

"Father!" Crewe had a cold face and interrupted Old Edward's words in a deep voice: "I'll ask you one last time, do you hand over the position of the patriarch or not?" ”

"Even if I die, I won't give you the position of the patriarch!!" Old Edward clutched his chest and scolded with a pale face, his attitude extremely resolute.

"Huh...... Seeing the resolute expression on Old Edward's face, Crewe laughed, and the smile was extremely eerie: "Father, I don't hide it from you, now, among all the core members of the entire family, except for you and Deve, everyone else has chosen to support me, do you think it makes sense for you to oppose it?" ”

Stunned to hear Crewe say this, old Edward couldn't help but widen his eyes and his face was full of disbelief.

As a family of more than 100 years, the Kernar family has extremely strict family rules.

Every time the Knarr family changes patriarchs, a family meeting is held, which is attended by all core members.

In the meeting, the previous patriarch can designate a successor, and then those core members vote for the election, if the vote is not more than half, even the person designated by the patriarch cannot become the next patriarch, but must continue to vote from several other patriarch successors, and the person with the most votes will be qualified as the patriarch!

That is to say, the candidates designated by the patriarch have the priority to be elected, as long as the votes of the candidates designated by the patriarch are not more than half, the other heirs are eligible to be elected!

In the history of the Knar family, each patriarch has a great control over the family 20 degrees, and the words of the patriarch basically represent the will of the family.

In such a situation, in the past hundred years, there has never been a usurpation of power by the Knarr family, and basically the person designated by the patriarch becomes the next patriarch.

Now, Crewe has made it clear that all the core members support Crewe, how can this not surprise Edward Sr.?

If this is really what Crewe said, then Crewe becoming the new patriarch of the family is a certainty!

"Impossible!" Surprised, old Edward shook his head frantically: "They can't all support you!" ”

"Father, I know that in your heart you don't think your descendants will support me." Crewe sneered and said in a tone unique to a victor: "I won't hide it from you, in the past few days you have been in China, I have used some small means, half of your descendants have disappeared from the world, and half of them have cleverly chosen to betray you. ”

Old Edward's eyes widened.

"Oh no, there's one other person who doesn't, well, it's the kid from Deve." With that, Crewe laughed again.

He had a smile that is unique to a victor!

"You bastard! You will become a sinner of the Kernar family, and you will let the Kernar family fall!! Facing Crewe, who was smiling confidently, reason told old Edward that everything Crewe said was true, and he wailed loudly.

"Sinners?" Crewe snorted coldly and said, "I'm telling you, it's you who will really become a sinner!" ”

"You talk nonsense!!"

Old Edward was completely enraged, and he rose straight from his seat and pounced on Crewe like an angry lion.

The next moment.

Before Edward could take a step, he was grabbed by two Kernar family bodyguards and pressed back into his chair.

"I confess that during the years you have served as the patriarch of the Kernar family, the power of the clan has expanded once again. Cowind...... You did one thing, and that thing was enough to destroy the whole family, and enough to make you a sinner in the family! Seeing old Edward being pressed into his chair, Crewe's tone completely cooled.

"What's the matter??"

Old Edward stared at Crewe with an angry face, like a madly lion.

"You shouldn't pin the fate of the family on that Chinese one by one, you think he can bring great benefits to the family, but in my opinion, all he can bring to the family is disaster!" Crewe said word by word.

"You put the layer!"

Old Edward knew that Crewe was talking about Chen Fan, and he was so angry that he cursed.

Because...... Old Edward always felt that Chen Fan being his other son-in-law was the most honorable thing in his life, and it was also a blessing for the entire Kerner family!

And now, Crewe said that he would ruin the entire family because of Chen Fan, how could he not be angry?

"Hey! It won't be long before that Chinese is going to die, how much benefit do you think a dead person can bring to the family? Crewe asked coldly.

Die?

The butcher is dying?!

Hearing Crewe say this, old Edward was stunned at first, then guessed something, and scolded angrily: "Crewe, you idiot! I don't know who told you that the butcher was going to die, but I want you to use your stupider brain than a pig to think, how could the butcher die?? ”

"He has been sentenced to death, there is no suspense!"

Crewe looked at Edward with an idiot look.

"You...... You...... The sixth young elder Edward was so angry that he didn't know what to say, and then he forcibly forced himself to calm down, he had already seen that Crewe had learned the news that Chen Fan was going to die, so he dared to usurp power.

After calming down, old Edward pointed to the crux of the matter: "Crewe, it is absolutely impossible for the butcher to die, his strength is not what you and I can imagine." Also, I want to remind you that he cares a lot about Dave. If you let him know that you are going to forcibly snatch Dev's family heirship, you know the consequences. ”

"Haha! Are you threatening me with that checkmate Chinese? Well, I don't want to argue with you about whether that bastard will die or not, that would make me feel like a waste of time! Crewe seemed to have lost his patience: "I don't hide it from you, I didn't forcibly seize power, I took a fancy to the network in your hands one by one, if you insist on not handing over power, then I have to send you to the end!" ”

The words fell, and in Crewe's eyes, there was a murderous intent.

Feeling the killing intent in Crewe's eyes, old Edward knew that Crewe would really kill him!

"Father, I remember that you had a bad heart." Crewe no longer hides his murderous intent: "Now that medicine is advanced, it can cure your heart disease, and it can also make your heart attack." ”

As the words fell, Crewe took a step forward and stared at old Edward, feeling as if old Edward dared to refuse, he would send old Edward directly to the western sky.

And the old Edward is dead, he is the new patriarch of the Kernar family, and the only loss is that the huge network in the hands of the old Edward may not fall into his hands.

"Give me three days."

Old Edward was silent for a long time, and slowly spoke, trying to stall for time.

"Hey! I know, you're expecting that oriental man to save you! Crewe was silent for a moment and sneered: "Since you have so much faith in him, then I might as well give you three days to appreciate the moment of your despair with my own eyes!" ”

When the words fell, Crewe didn't wait for old Edward to talk nonsense, waved his hand, and said, "Take him down and give it to Dixie!" ”

Dixi, the Ghost King!

Hearing Crewe's words, old Edward instantly understood the fact that Crewe had colluded with the Dark Ghost!

Just when old Edward understood a little, the two bodyguards of the Kernar family didn't say a word, and directly set up old Edward.

To this, old Edward did not resist, he knew that resistance was futile.

As Crewe said, now he pins all his hopes on Chen Fan!

At this time, Chen Fan had already learned about Crewe's usurpation of power from Deve.

The ancient house of the Nalan family, in the small two-story building where Dev lives.

"Honey, I'm sorry......"

After Dave told Chen Fan the truth of the matter, her face was full of apologies.

"Silly woman." Without waiting for Dev to finish speaking, Chen Fan took Dev into his arms: "I know, deep down you don't want to tell me the news, you want me to stay here for one night." But...... You're worried about your grandfather's safety, and you're worried that your family will fall because of it! ”

Dev bit her lip tightly, her eyes flushed, her face full of apology and guilt.

Chen Fan's words spoke to her heart.

It was too difficult for her to make that decision...... It's too hard

After receiving the call before, she thought about it for half an hour, and finally chose to tell Chen Fan about the changes in the Kernar family.

"Silly woman, you are my tulip, a tulip that blooms only for me. It is my duty to protect the tulips! Chen Fan stroked Dave's head with a smile and said softly, "And...... Even if nothing happens to your family, I will go to Europe, and now I am just leaving early. Rest assured, all troubles will be solved. ”

There was no answer, and Dave was wise and strong, and tears flowed down her face.

Chen Fan stretched out his hand and gently and slowly wiped away the tears from Deve's face, and didn't say anything more, but showed a confident and clean smile to Deve.

Then, he strode away.

Walk exceptionally resolutely!

Looking at the back of Chen Ji leaving, Dave opened her mouth and tried to stop Chen Fan, but in the end she didn't shout.

Ten minutes later.

When Chen Fan walked into the two-story building where Nalan Xiangxiang lived and walked into Nalan Xiangxiang's room, Nalan Xiangxiang was already lying on the bed.

"Look, are these paintings good?"

"Tell Mom, do you want to learn?"

"If you want to learn, okay, when you are three or four years old, your mother will find you the best art teacher, well, and the best piano teacher and dance teacher for you

Under the light, Nalan Xiangxiang held a colorful painting, and while reading, she muttered something to the child in her belly.

Seeing this scene, Chen Fan felt a faint pain in his heart, and his face was full of self-blame.

"How are you standing there?" Talking, talking, Nalan Xiangxiang found Chen Fan and said with a smile: "The doctor said that pregnant women can reduce the chance of color blindness in their children by looking at more colorful paintings during pregnancy. ”

With Nalan Xiangxiang's words in his ears, Chen Fan didn't say anything, he walked towards Nalan Xiangxiang with a guilty face.

"What's wrong?"

Sensing Chen Fan's abnormality, Nalan Xiangxiang was stunned at first, and then when Chen Fan was about to walk to him, he understood something, and smiled slightly: "Is there something that needs to be dealt with by you?" ”

Chen Fan's footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

Under the light, he met Nalan Xiangxiang's gaze and nodded slightly.

"It's okay, you go and do your business, you don't have to worry about me." Nalan Xiangxiang glanced at Chen Fan with a smile, then stroked her bulging belly, and said, "Dad is going to be busy, you guys will say goodbye to Dad." ”

Seeing this scene, Chen Fan felt a pain in his heart, he didn't say anything, but squatted down, hugged Nalan Xiangxiang's drag legs, and put his face on Nalan Xiangxiang's stomach just like when he met Nalan Xiangxiang at noon.

Nalan Xiangxiang stretched out her hand and gently stroked Chen Fan's resolute face: "Go, I'll wait for you with them, wait for you to come back!" ”

"Hmm."

Chen Fan nodded vigorously, then reluctantly left Nalan Xiangxiang's embrace and turned to leave.

The moment he turned around, Chen Fan's body paused for a moment.

Just in a flash!

Because.

He knows.

This battle.

It can't be avoided!!
