Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A chill sent shivers coursing through Li Jin’s body as an olddy with white hair emerged in the ancestral house, apanied by several elderly men. Li Jin and herpanions were nearly frightened out of their wits.
Lin Mi smiled and said, “Director Li, this is one of the current n leaders of<div>
Li Industries and a few elders.’
Li Jin furrowed her brow, “Why is it a woman?”
It wasn’t that Li Jin discriminated against female n leaders, but in her understanding, since Li Industries favored males over females, it was impossible to have a female n leader. This struck her as quite peculiar.
“Of course, it’s a woman,” Lin Mi smiled with a gentle sparkle, and herughter echoed eerily in the ancient and dpidated mansion.
“Lin Mi, can you stopughing? You sound like a ghost,” Li Jin irritably remarked.
“I’m sorry, Director Li. I will be more mindful,” Lin Mi nodded respectfully toward Li Jin.
Li Jin gave Lin Mi a scornful sidelong nce and then addressed the n leader, “Today, I came with a simple purpose: it’s time for you, the n leader, to step down due to your age.”
The white-haired n leader smiled at Li Jin; her face devoid of warmth. She said, “Little girl, you’re bold. But, let me ask beforehand, are you sure you want to be the n leader of the Li family?”
Li Jin coldly snorted, “Certainly. Besides, there’s no one more suitable than me for the position in the family right now, isn’t that so?”
“If that’s the case, let’s pass this ancestral test first!” the n leader said with a sinister smile.
Li Jin twisted her mouth in disdain. Ancestral? Could the dead crawl out of the ground to harm her?<div>
“Let’s go!” the n leader said to Li Jin.
Puzzled, Li Jin asked, “Where are we going? I’ll tell you, I brought more than twenty bodyguards with me, so be careful.”
The n leader smiled, deepening the wrinkles on her face marked by age spots. “Don’t you want to be the n leader? We need to perform the session ceremony in the ancestral hall.”
Li Jin looked at Lin Mi in surprise. “Is it that simple? I thought there would be a bloody battle. I brought more than twenty people for nothing.”
Lin Mi nced at the bodyguards behind Li Jin and said, “It’s not for nothing; they serve a purpose.”
Li Jin nodded unknowingly, “Well, they might be useful. Perhaps, seeing that I brought so many people, they are afraid and willingly give up the position of the n leader. Or maybe they now know that I am the actual leader in control of Li Industries, so they fear me. Don’t worry,ter I will announce the abolition of all superstitious customs and save your mother.”
Lin Mi nodded, “Great!”
Li Jin, full of arrogance, followed the group to the ancestral hall. As soon as she entered, she saw a whole wall of memorial tablets, and a strange and eerie atmosphere instantly enveloped them.
Feeling the chill, Li Jin rubbed her arms and said, “Hurry up, this ce looks creepy. Let’s finish this quickly, and I can leave early.”
The n leader and several elders knelt on the ground, uttering words that Li Jin couldn’t understand, as if performing some kind of ritual.
At Lin Mi l s request, Li Jin patiently waited for about half an hour. Then the wooden que representing the n leader was ced in Li Jin’s hands. Li Jin, the newly appointed n leader, yed with the wooden que in her hands. Just as she was about to announce her first decree, she was suddenly seized by someone and dragged into a room.<div>
“What are you doing? Let go of me! 1…” Li Jin eximed in fear but was quickly silenced.
The bodyguards outside, sensing that something was amiss, rushed into the ancestral hall, but Li Jin was nowhere to be seen.
As they were about to continue searching, all over twenty people copsed to the ground.
When Li Jin woke up again, she found herself bound to what seemed to be an altar. Her bodyguards were also tied to different racks.
Except for Li Jin, who was awake, the bodyguards all had their heads hanging low,pletely unconscious. No matter how loudly Li Jin yelled, they showed no signs of waking up.
The former n leader and elders had all changed into strange costumes.
Lin Mi, along with other members of the n, stood silently watching in the direction of Li Jin.
Terrified, Li Jin angrily shouted, “You monsters! What do you want to do? I am your n leader now! Imand you to release me, do you hear me?”
