The efforts Lin Xingrong has made over the years, as well as his contributions to the family, have been witnessed by everyone, including Lin Shihua and other senior family members.
Because of this, Lin Shihua had almost no hesitation in identifying Lin Xingrong as the best candidate for a successor.
From Lin Shihua's perspective, there would inevitably come a time in the future when the position of Clan Leader would be handed over to Lin Xingrong.
However, before the handover, he must continue to guide the Lin Family through the crisis posed by the Blood Red Alliance.
At the same time, he intends to further temper Lin Xingrong so that Lin Xingrong can be fully prepared to take on the role of Clan Leader and have enough confidence when facing external forces.
Given these factors, Lin Shihua plans to carefully polish Lin Xingrong for the next few decades.
When the time is right, he will surely pass the position of Clan Leader to Lin Xingrong.
