Chapter 5552At this moment, the Lin family head was deeply shocked, and at the same time, grateful that the Lin family had befriended David.“Father, David is gone. What did you say to him?”Lin Yun’er, seeing David leave, went into the room and asked.“Don’t ask. These next few days, just serve David. Give him whatever he wants, understand?”the Lin family head instructed Lin Yun’er.“I know, but he was too vigorous. I’m in a bit of pain and want to rest…” Lin Yun’er said.“Nonsense! Even if it hurts, you have to persevere. Our Lin family will depend on him from now on,”the Lin family head scolded. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn find⸺novel.netLin Yun’er could only nod. She knew that whether the Lin family could control Dongxiang County depended entirely on David.After Lin Yun’er left, the Lin family head immediately dispatched people to summon the major powers of Dongxiang County to discuss the county’s future development.Now that the princess was dead, the county couldn’t remain leaderless.News of the Lin family head’s summons spread like wildfire throughout the county, and various factions, each with their own agendas, attended the meeting.On the day of the meeting, the Lin family’s main hall was packed with people, representatives of various factions sitting or standing, creating a tense atmosphere.The Lin family head sat in the main seat, his face slightly pale despite his recently returned spirit, but his eyes exuded an undeniable authority.“I have summoned you all here today because Dongxiang County cannot be without a leader for even a day. With the princess gone, we must elect a virtuous and capable person to lead Dongxiang County to prosperity,” the Lin family head’s voice boomed, echoing throughout the hall. However, as soon as he finished speaking, a discordant chorus of sneers rang out.Representatives from the Zhao, Qian, and Sun families stepped forward, their faces full of disdain.Zhao Hu, the head of the Zhao family, was a burly man with a face full of scars. He roared, “Head of the Lin family, what qualifications does your Lin family have to lead the election of this princess? Are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to control Dongxiang County and seize power for yourself?”Qian Wanguan, the head of the Qian family, was thin, but his eyes were sinister. He shrilly echoed, “That’s right, your Lin family only relies on that little bit of power to think you can be king and tyrant. Don’tyou even know your own worth?” Sun Ba, the head of the Sun family, was arrogant. He crossed his arms and sneered, “Head of the Lin family, you’ve just recovered your soul. How much strength do you have left? Don’t try to show off. Your Lin family has no right to covet this princess position!” Upon hearing this,the head of the Lin family’s expression changed slightly, but he still forced himself to remain calm. With a furious expression, he said, “My Lin family has served Dongxiang County wholeheartedly for many years. Now that the county princess is absent, it is only right for my Lin family to step forward and take charge.noveldramaIf any of you have better candidates, please feel free to suggest them. As long as it is for the good of Dongxiang County, my Lin family will definitely support you.”Zhao Hu, however, did not buy it at all. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, “Support? What do you have to support us with? Today, none of our three families will accept your Lin family’s decision on the position of county princess! If you ask me, we should choose one from our Zhao, Qian, and Sun families!”Qian Wanguan and Sun Ba also nodded in agreement. In an instant, arguments broke out in the hall, and the representatives of various forces split into several factions, accusing and insulting each other. The scene was briefly out of control.Seeing this, the Lin family head was both anxious and furious. He was about to speak to stop him when Zhao Hu suddenly moved and charged towards him, shouting, “Lin family head, if you’re not convinced, let me test your skills!”The Lin family head hadn’t expected Zhao Hu to attack so suddenly. He had only recently recovered his soul, and his strength hadn’t fully returned; he had no time to dodge.Just as Zhao Hu’s fist was about to strike the Lin family head, a figure flashed like a ghost, instantly appearing in front of him and grabbing Zhao Hu’s fist.Everyone looked closely and saw it was David.David’s expression was calm, but his eyes held a chilling glint.
