The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

Chapter 1091 - 1087: Acting Patriarch

"Oh? What if I insist on saying no!" Due to excessive anger, Gongsun Hong didn’t rush to take action.

Gongsun Hong sternly said, "Then we have the right to impeach you!"

"Try it!" Gongsun Hong’s face was distorted, and veins bulged on his neck.

"That’s what you said."

Gongsun Hu’s face showed solemnity, raising his hand, "I agree to impeach Gongsun Hong, who is willing?"

No one answered; the elders were conservative in thought and chose to wait and see.

"Hey, no one is paying attention to you, little twerp!" Gongsun Hong said with a sinister smile.

At this moment, Gongsun Rou raised her hand, "I agree!"

"How dare you!" Gongsun Hong angrily glared at Gongsun Rou, ready to suppress her.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Rou quickly stepped to hide behind Gongsun Hu.

"Coward!" Gongsun Hong was almost exploding with anger.

But Gongsun Rou laughed, "Gongsun Hong, threatening me won’t work, your madness has crossed the line, and the clansmen won’t tolerate someone like you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gongsun Qiang crawled up from the ground, "I also agree to impeach Gongsun Hong!"

"You little beasts, you are good!"

Gongsun Hong was trembling with rage, yet he hadn’t lost hope. Three people alone couldn’t impeach him.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Rui stood up, "I also agree!"

"What do you mean!"

Gongsun Hong looked at Gongsun Rui angrily.

In the past, when he rose to power, Gongsun Rui was on his side.

Now turning traitor?

Gongsun Rui sneered coldly, "You’ve lost your mind. If you continue like this, you’ll destroy the family."

"You’re dead!" Gongsun Hong leaped over, jumping high over the desk, striking fiercely with a palm.

Gongsun Rui’s face turned panic-stricken, hurriedly raising his hand to block, but was still hit on the chest.

"Ah!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, retreating several steps before he steadied himself.

Gongsun Hong didn’t intend to give up, gritting his teeth and ready to pursue further.

Gongsun Rui was almost scared out of his wits when Gongsun Hu shouted, "Everyone, let’s capture Gongsun Hong together!"

After speaking, he was the first to rush over, grappling with Gongsun Hong.

Gongsun Rou and Gongsun Hong also shouted as they charged forward.

The four tangled in a brawl as the elders watched with horror on the side.

How did it suddenly erupt into a fight?

Should they aid or not?

Gongsun Rui already filled with anger would never miss an opportunity, shouting, "Gongsun Hong has gone mad, everyone, let’s capture him together!"

After speaking, he charged forward, bearing his injuries.

The other elders, seeing this, could no longer hesitate.

Thereafter, everyone quickly took action and soon subdued Gongsun Hong.

With a frantic expression, but his body restrained by iron chains, he was even kicked to his knees by Gongsun Hong.

Being the Patriarch for so long, suddenly becoming a prisoner—the disparity made Gongsun Hong want to explode with rage.

Gongsun Hu coldly looked at him, "Gongsun Hong, do you know your sins?"

"You little wretch, daring to detain me, once I regain power, you’re dead!"

Gongsun Hong shouted through gritted teeth, his voice sending chills down many people.

Gongsun Hu was not afraid, instead turning to the crowd, "You’ve heard him, Gongsun Hong is narrow-minded; if he continues as Patriarch, each of us will face his revenge..."

With these words, the elders hesitated no more, angrily condemning.

"Gongsun Hong, you’ve truly disappointed us!"

"Defiance can be good, but you’ve gone mad!"

"You are unfit to be Patriarch!"

"You bunch of old fossils, I curse you all!"

Gongsun Hong, relentless, yelled with defiance.

Gongsun Hu could no longer stand it, shouting, "Come, take him away!"

The guards were already waiting on the side; hearing the order to arrest the Patriarch, they hesitated for a moment.

But under Gongsun Hu’s gaze, they steeled themselves to carry Gongsun Hong away.

"You all must die!"

"Even in hell, I will curse you!"

Even being carried away, Gongsun Hong didn’t stop his curses.

Until he left, the elders were left with great unease.

Gongsun Hong always had a temper.

But today, it’s no longer just about temperament, right?

Could it be he truly went mad?

"Now that Gongsun Hong is out, we urgently need a temporary Patriarch to lead us through challenging times..."

Gongsun Hu spoke loudly, "What are everyone’s thoughts?"

Talking about the position of Patriarch, everyone trembled slightly.

The Gongsun Family’s patriarch held significant power, with great advantages in asset allocations.

The elders were either stingy or miserly; the lucrative opportunity stirred everyone’s desires.

Thus, temporarily forgetting Gongsun Hong, the elders calculated how to seize the Patriarch position.

Then unexpectedly, Gongsun Rou spoke first, "I think Gongsun Hu should act as the temporary Patriarch!"

These words darkened some elders’ faces.

"Gongsun Hu’s qualifications are too shallow, such is unsuitable."

"Indeed, he’s only thirty, and the Gongsun Family demands a dignified representative as Patriarch."

The conservative elder group opposed.

Yet Gongsun Rou smiled indifferently, "Age is not a problem; responsibility and ability matter most. Didn’t Brother Hu showcase the necessary qualities to be temporary Patriarch?"

Sincerely considering it, it seemed true.

Everyone was grappling with Gongsun Hong, except Gongsun Hu who stood forth.

He bravely opposed and even captured the culprit.

Without him, who knew how chaotic the Gongsun Family might become.

"But deciding the Patriarch like this seems too casual!"

Gongsun Rui spoke unkindly.

Even saved by Gongsun Hu, he wouldn’t back down in the Patriarch struggle.

"It’s decided by everyone’s unanimous vote, how could it be casual?" Gongsun Rou’s rebuttal left Gongsun Rui speechless.

Gongsun Qiang also raised his hand, "Besides, it’s temporary, once we overcome this difficult period, everyone can reselect!"

"Many family industries are heavily damaged; if we don’t select a suitable Patriarch, we’ll face a disadvantageous position."

Gongsun Rou and Gongsun Qiang’s argument resonated deeply with everyone.

Indeed, the family, under external pressure, was in a precarious moment; power struggles should be postponed.

Thus, Gongsun Guang raised his hand, "I also think Gongsun Hu is suitable."

"Me too!"

"I vote for Gongsun Hu!"

Gongsun Hu’s previous performance was brilliant, ignored by no elder.

Quickly, most elders expressed support, choosing Gongsun Hu as the temporary Patriarch.

"With such hospitality, I gladly accept." Gongsun Hu’s face was composed, "However, before assuming office, I have a request: Even as temporary Patriarch, I enjoy all rights, yes?"

"Yes!" This nobody opposed, elders nodded in agreement.

"Excellent." Gongsun Hu suddenly smiled, brightly.

Gongsun Hu rarely smiled, many elders hadn’t seen his smile before.

But somehow, seeing Gongsun Hu’s smile, many had a bad feeling.

At this moment, Gongsun Hu said with a smile, "Now, I order to lend the Celestial Dragon Order to Qin Hao!"
