A chilling air immediately spread within Lin Fan's body, turning the already gloomy villa icy cold, as if even the air had stopped flowing!

Lin Fan knew what Nalan Suqin wanted. As a weak woman, all she desired was a bit of warmth from a family.

Even if she had a grudge against the Cao Family, as an emotional woman, who wouldn't be sad facing the departure of one's own grandfather? After all, no one is made of stone!

Lin Fan had previously promised to protect Nalan Suqin, so how could he not fulfill this small wish of hers!

"Whoever dares to step forward, try it!"

Lin Fan roared, and the gigantic voice resounded through the two villas, making everyone's ears buzz with the sound!

"You insolent brat, how dare you act recklessly in the Cao Family's presence? Throw these two dogs out for me!" Cao Qinghai suddenly shouted angrily!

Clap clap clap~

Footsteps were heard as a group of men in black quickly approached Lin Fan!

However, Lin Fan showed not a hint of fear; his expression became increasingly cold. He waved his hand at his waist, immediately taking out several Cow Hair Needles, and flung them away!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Clang clang clang~

The Cow Hair Needles pierced through the air, accurately embedding themselves into the ground in front of the black-clad men, with half of each silver needle sunken into the ground, leaving only the needle heads shaking continuously above!

Seeing this, everyone's faces were instantly filled with shock. The Cow Hair Needle was named so because these silver needles were as thin as cow hair, with the tips being very soft.

It's hard for ordinary people to even pierce through foam with them, and they couldn't imagine how Lin Fan managed to drive the Cow Hair Needles into the ground, which required such terrifying strength!

Next, Lin Fan took out another Cow Hair Needle, flicked it with his finger, and the entire motion was fluid and incredibly fast, making it impossible for people to see how he did it!

With a "whoosh," the Cow Hair Needle immediately pierced through the air, passing through Cao Qinghai's sleeve, and fixed itself into the wall behind him with a crisp "ding" sound!

Cao Qinghai instantly broke into a cold sweat, nearly sitting on the ground in fright. He felt as if the scene had been like magic; if the Cow Hair Needle had been aimed at his heart, he couldn't even imagine the outcome!

At this moment, everyone kept their mouths shut and didn't dare to breathe, their eyes filled with horror as they looked at Lin Fan, feeling as if what stood before them wasn't a person, but a Godslayer from hell!

"Pay your respects!" Lin Fan immediately shouted to Nalan Suqin.

Nalan Suqin hesitated no longer, slowly moving her steps, tears welling up in her reddened eyes, as she approached the coffin, lit three incense sticks, and placed them in the censer. After bowing three times, her sparkling tears couldn't help but slide down her pretty face!

Seeing Nalan Suqin's swaying figure, Lin Fan quickly walked over to support her slender waist, holding her delicate body tightly in his arms, using his warmth to comfort Nalan Suqin's sorrowful heart.

"When I was chatting with Sir Cao last night, he was fine, Lin Fan, tell me... why did this happen?"

Nalan Suqin lifted her tearful eyes, looking at Lin Fan with a sorrowful tone.

Hearing Nalan Suqin, Lin Fan couldn't help but frown. He too found Cao Zhong's sudden passing somewhat puzzling!

Lin Fan turned to look at Cao Yanmei and asked, "When did Elder Cao pass away?"

"When Uncle Fu went to the room in the morning, he discovered Grandpa had already passed." Cao Yanmei replied with a sorrowful tone.

"Uncle Fu?"

Lin Fan frowned, turning to glance at Fu.

At this moment, Fu was crying rivers of tears and snot, and Lin Fan knew that this old housekeeper had served Elder Cao for half a lifetime and was the most loyal servant, so he should be above suspicion!

Then, how did Elder Cao die?

"I want to open the coffin for an autopsy!"

Lin Fan suddenly said.

Wow~

Everyone was immediately shocked!

Cao Qinghai instantly shouted, "Mr. Lin, I forgave you as a guest of the Cao Family again and again, and now my father has passed, yet you want to open the coffin? Are you not taking the Cao Family seriously at all?"

"That's right! The deceased is in the coffin; opening the coffin is highly disrespectful and would affect the descendants' fortune in our Cao Family. Lin, your heart is truly malicious!" Du Huarong shouted with red eyes.

Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "Opening the coffin for an autopsy is nothing unusual. What? Are some of you feeling guilty, scared that your deeds might be uncovered?"

As he spoke, Lin Fan's sharp gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one!

Everyone's expressions changed; some were pondering, some were frightened, and some were fearful.

When Lin Fan's gaze landed on Du Huarong's face, he noticed that her eyes revealed a peculiar expression, though quickly covered, which did not escape Lin Fan's sight!

Lin Fan's mouth curled into a sly smile, having already formed a vague suspicion in his mind!

Then, Lin Fan immediately shouted loudly, "Elder Cao's death is unclear. Do you want him to enter the soil with ambiguity? Is this how you, the Cao Family descendants, exhibit filial piety?"

With these words, everyone fell silent!

"I agree to open the coffin!"

At this moment, Cao Yanmei suddenly spoke, her Willow Eyebrows tightly knitted, with a heavy and suspicious look in her eyes!

Cao Yanmei, being the president of the Cao Family enterprise, wasn't a fool. She had her suspicions about Cao Zhong's sudden passing!

Seeing his daughter wanting to intervene, Cao Qinghai hurriedly said, "Yanmei, do not act recklessly!"

"Exactly! Yanmei, are you going to follow Lin in his nonsense? This is your grandfather; how can you treat him this way?" Du Huarong hastily added.

"Hehe! Ever since Grandpa passed, I've been curious about how he really died. Was it due to illness or something else? Just as Lin Fan said, I want Grandpa to rest in peace with clarity!" Cao Yanmei said with determination.

"Cao Yanmei, we elders are still here. How dare you take charge? Are you rebelling?" Du Huarong screamed.

"Rebelling? Hehe! Aunt, your words are exaggerated. However... I, as the executive president of Cao Group, now announce, I want... to open the coffin for an autopsy!"

When saying these last few words, Cao Yanmei's tone intensified, each word pronounced strongly, domineering beyond compare!

"Ha! Dear Brother and Sister-in-law, look at your good daughter. With Dad just gone, she wants to become the mistress of Cao Family? Her elbow is turning outward; is she still part of our Cao Family!" Du Huarong sneered with a sharp voice.

Li Yanzi panicked, afraid her beloved daughter would provoke public anger, hurriedly said, "Yanmei, don't get involved in family matters. You've been tired these past days. Go back and rest."

Cao Yanmei shook her head, insistently, "Mom, I know what I'm doing. No need to persuade me! As per the rules set by Grandpa, I, as the executive president of the Group, have the authority to manage your shares. If anyone underperforms, I have the right to reclaim the shares. Now that Grandpa is gone, I have the right to manage the Cao Family. I want to open the coffin now. Who dares to stop me?"

At the mention of "shares," Du Huarong's mouth immediately closed firmly.

Cao Qinghai opened his mouth but lacked the courage to speak further. He understood his daughter's nature; once she said it, she meant it!

"Lin Fan, this matter is entrusted to you!" Cao Yanmei looked at Lin Fan with a tone full of meaning.

Lin Fan understood Cao Yanmei's underlying message, nodded, and said, "Rest assured, I'll get you the result you desire."

"Alright! Get people here, open the coffin immediately!"

Cao Yanmei stopped hesitating, with a grand gesture, authoritatively commanded!
