Huo Wanying took the lift to the top floor.
The top floor was the core of the union. It was built with glass walls. Also, it contained countless concealed surveillance cameras and top-of-the-line defense mechanisms.
Only the leader of each family had the right to enter this place.
After walking out of the lift, the scanners overhead quickly scanned Huo Wanying and permitted entry.
Before she got to the office, her phone rang in her pocket.
She took out her phone and answered it. "Okay. I'm already here. Be right over."
Huo Wanying narrowed her eyes and put away her phone. She walked through the door on her left and headed to the small conference room.
When she got there, seven to eight people could be seen seated at the conference table already.
They were the family's branch leaders and elders.
Huo Qing pointed at the seat gesturing for Huo Wanying to sit down as he asked. "Wanying, have you been to the hospital?"
Huo Wanying nodded. "I did, but I couldn't see Master Jinfeng."
"Huh? Did they stop you as well?" Second Elder clearly did not expect this. After all, Huo Wanying was not like the elders.
"Uh huh," acknowledged Huo Wanying without the slightest change in expression. She simply said, "The only thing that matters is Master Jinfeng's health."
The Eldest Elder sitting on the right shook his head. "I doubt it."
Huo Wanying looked at the Eldest Elder.
he sighed. "I asked the hospital president in private. He told me that Master Jinfeng is no different from a vegetable now. Also, there's a very low chance he'll ever regain consciousness."
"How can that be?" Huo Wanying thought about Huo Yulin and Xie's reactions today. They did not seem very worried about Huo Jinfeng.
"If all he needed was recuperation, he would not have given the order to stop visitors from visiting him." Huo Qing tapped the table gently. After some time, he eventually said, "The clan can't go on even a day without a leader."
Huo Wanying's expression promptly changed on hearing this. "Third Uncle, be careful about what you say!"
"Third Councilor is right. The family can't go a day without a leader. The union also needs a leader," said Eldest Elder unhurriedly. It sounded as though they were simply talking about replacing a shirt.
Huo Wanying hastily stood up and leaned against the table hard with both hands. She looked at them coldly and said, "Are you nuts? My Second Uncle is still alive."
"Miss Wanying, we know that you've been very close to Master Jinfeng ever since you were a child. Considering his condition, he's no longer in the position to continue as clan leader. Before other clans find out about his condition, we have to prepare ourselves."
"That's right. We can't put the family at risk."
Huo Jinfeng was a very good leader. Thanks to him, the clan became the most influential family in the country. However, they could not sit back and watch their status and power slip from their hands because of Huo Jinfeng.
They were accustomed to power, so they naturally did not want others to climb over them.
Moreover, Huo Jinfeng did not have any children which was a big problem in powerful families.
Even though they have been grooming Young Master Yulin, he was Master Jinyan's son after all.
Master Jinyan had already cut ties with the main family, so he no longer had a say in family matters. Also, Young Master Yulin did not want to become the clan leader, either. Hence, they had already started looking for a suitable heir internally from the younger generation.
Huo Wanying was one of the potential candidates.
"Wanying, you have proven yourself over a period of time and have a bright future," said Huo Qing profoundly.
He did not take it to heart when Huo Wanying defended Master Jinfeng. After all, he knew her personality well.
She was not the sort to play second fiddle to others.
