1062 Explosive Rumors (2)

The faces of the companions who were reminded turned pale when they followed the woman’s gaze.

“F-Family Head.”

The few of them lowered their heads in panic, their voices trembling.

Master Cao glanced at them expressionlessly and left without saying anything.

“Patriarch, you’re finally here!”

The two elders of the Cao family who were waiting in the meeting hall stood up when they saw the Cao family head enter.

“Patriarch, do you have any suggestions regarding the First Elder?” The Second Elder of the Cao family was the first to ask.

“That’s right, Patriarch. If Cao Fei’er is really not of the Cao family’s bloodline, not only will our Cao family become a joke, but we will also become a wolf in sheep’s clothing!” The Fourth Elder of the Cao family said with anger in his eyes and a livid expression.

The head of the Cao family sat opposite the two of them. After a moment of silence, he said, “According to the analysis of the rumors, the chances of Cao Fei’er not being of the Cao family’s bloodline are very high. However, that’s just a rumor. If we want to confirm if Cao Fei’er is from the Cao family, it’s best to do a DNA test.”

Second Elder Cao frowned. “With First Elder’s personality, she definitely won’t agree to a DNA test. Moreover, Cao Fei’er is seriously injured and unconscious, so it’s even more impossible for First Elder to cooperate.”

“Are we really going to pretend that nothing happened? What will the people outside think of our Cao family?”

Fourth Elder Cao’s face darkened. He paused for a moment before saying, “Besides, our Cao family can’t become an outsider’s dominant power. If we can’t confirm Cao Fei’er’s bloodline, our entire Cao family won’t be able to bear the consequences in the future. We will also become the greatest sinners of the Cao family!”

As soon as Fourth Elder Cao finished speaking, the huge conference hall fell silent.

After a long while, Second Elder Cao’s hoarse voice sounded. “If we really can’t be sure, we’d rather kill the wrong person than let her off. What do you think?”

Master Cao frowned slightly and didn’t say anything. Fourth Elder Cao seemed to think for a moment before nodding. “I agree. Killing the wrong person is better than gambling with the entire Cao family.”

Master Cao sighed heavily. “Forget it, let’s do as Second Elder says!”

“Alright, I’ll go and prepare then.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing that Master Cao had agreed, Second Elder Cao heaved a sigh of relief. With that, he stood up and left to prepare.

In the First Elder’s courtyard.

“Why hasn’t my daughter woken up yet? You quack! What’s the use of having a quack like you?!”

First Elder Cao looked at her daughter, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and shouted angrily at the Cao family’s alchemist who was treating Cao Fei’er.

Alchemists had noble statuses and had always been respected. Now that they were actually scolded by First Elder Cao, the Cao family’s alchemists were naturally furious.

“Since First Elder thinks that I’m a quack, I’ll take my leave!”

After the Cao family’s alchemist finished speaking, he ignored First Elder Cao’s expression and left.

“Bastard!” First Elder Cao had always been the leader of the Cao family. Now that she was contradicted like this, she was immediately furious and was about to draw his sword to kill.

However, she was quickly stopped by his trusted man in black.

“First Elder, you can’t. That’s an alchemist.”

The Cao family only had one alchemist. If they killed this only alchemist, even if Patriarch Cao and the others were afraid of the First Elder, they would definitely not let this matter pass so easily.
