To Love You Again

Chapter 683 - No Way Out (III)

Now, what would he do? Gunan's mind quickly began to look for a solution.

Gunan had countermeasures in case everything went south. The person who would be the scapegoat was already decided from the beginning. He had to call his men and arrange everything for the worst-case scenario plan.

However, Gunan only took a step forward when a hand landed on his shoulder.

"Third brother, where are you going? You will not leave us again, won't you? This matter concerns the Guan Empire. You are the chairman and you need to be here." Guan Gu Ri speaks a bit loudly.

This caused the people behind Guan Gu Ri to nod their heads like chickens pecking on rice. "Yes, chairman. Don't go and leave us like you did before. It will have a bad impact on your image."

'[email?protected]#$&!'

If Gunan's looks could kill, he would have already killed the foolish Guan Gu Ri who was still stopping him.

This idiotic man still did not understand the situation!

What a moron!

"I am not going to leave. I just have to make a few phone calls to Univ One. I'm concerned about them." He tried to pry off the hand on his shoulder, but Guan Gu Ri's hold was quite strong.

Seeing the man make excuses, Guan Gu Ri hid his smile.

As if he would let this bastard go.

Guan Gu Ri continued to pretend. "Why? You said Univ One is made through legal means. There's no need to be afraid of the investigation team then."

Gunan: …!

Gunan suddenly whipped his head towards Guan Gu Ri and stared.

He looked at Guan Gu Ri's eyes, seemingly searching for something.

Finally, Gunan discovered what had been giving him the odd feeling that he had been ignoring all this time.

Within those innocent-looking eyes of the man, there was a hint of mocking and delight in them.

Gunan slowly petrified.

This man.... He knew of it!

His eyes darkened. "You--!"

"Chairman, there's nothing to be worried about, right? You said earlier that if the government asks for the legal doc.u.ments, Univ One has it. There are no implications, are there?" The people behind Guan Gu Ri continued to pester Gunan.

However, the man no longer paid them any attention.

Gunan still had his eyes on Guan Gu Ri.

He was silent for a while, before he slowly narrowed his eyes murderously.

"You know it… Yet you are not allowing me to take care of it? What's your purpose?"

Was it to get the chairman's position for himself?

He had really underestimated him. This man hid too deeply!

Guan Gu Ri smiled and asked, "Brother, what are you talking about? You are not making any sense."

Gunan aggressively grabbed Guan Gu Ri's collar in anger. He yelled at him.

"Are you out of your damned mind?! Do you think that when Univ One goes down, you will have the Guan Empire then? The Guan Empire will fall together with Univ One, you fool! At that time, you will be left with nothing! Is that your purpose?!"

Gunan's sudden outburst shocked everyone in the room.

What? Univ One will fall down?!

What are the two Guan brothers talking about?!

However, Guan Gu Ri simply looked at Gunan with innocence on his face. That mask never wavered at all.

"Brother, what are you saying? Why are you venting your anger on me?"

Gunan was so angry at the pretentious man. He raised his fist with the intention of punching the man's face, but Guan Gu Ri's hand caught it.

Their coats fluttered as their qigong clashed.

"Brother, why are you getting violent? Is there something bothering you? You can't just attack anyone," Guan Gu Ri said in a gentle voice.

Gunan was mad.

Now, he understood it.

This was this man's scheme! He cooperated with the people who were targeting him!

Perhaps… He and Guan Xixin were behind it all?

Ha! These two brothers really had him! They patiently staged this farce all along!

Gunan chuckled maddeningly.

"So this is your plan? You totally want to doom the entire empire, huh?"

Gunan then looked at the shocked people in the room who still did not understand a thing of what was happening between them.

Since it had come to this, why not use another escape goat instead? He had one right now.

Gunan shouted in indignation.

"Listen, everyone! My brother had become so muddled with envy that he actually planted a mole in Univ One to pin charges on me. But while doing so, he is dragging the Guan Empire down to dirt!"

Sharp intakes of breath sounded.

The people were once more dumbfounded and indignant by the situation.

There was a warrant of arrest in Univ One and the government and relevant investigative departments were knocking on their doors downstairs, yet these two brothers were still fighting for the chairman position?!

What was this unexpected nonsense!?

What was really happening?!

Guan Gu Ri was amused.

Heh. Like those people said, Gunan was sharp when he wanted to.

However, it was all too late.

The Xiong Heiress and Zhou Linfeng had covered all of the man's escape routes.

Now, Guan Gu Ri understood why Xiong Zhi had to wait for the right time.

...The feeling of seeing your most hateful enemy pushed to a corner was very satisfying.

Guan Gu Ri coldly smiled at Gunan.

"...!" Gunan saw his smile.

He suddenly felt a chill.

The man whom he had always thought was a fool smiled sadly. "Are you making me your scapegoat? It is so sad… that we have to stop this role play."

Gunan: ???

Everyone: ???

Guan Gu Ri schooled his expression back to calmness. There's no hint of gentleness in his eyes but cold indifference. He looked at the people in the room. "Check your phones. The news is probably out."

What?

Now they have to check their phones?

But their hands moved faster than their brains. They collectively looked at their phones and checked their notifications.

Gunan was a bit dumbfounded. What was it now?

Notifications?

What could they have done this time?

He immediately took out his phone. Then he took a sharp breath.

His eyes widened when he saw the latest headline news.

It was all about the illegal trade and deals Gunan had done to fund Univ One.

However, they were no longer only speculations this time, but real and solid proofs reported to the police department and investigation bureau.

Where…

Where did they get hold of this?!

Gunan's hand trembled.

Most of the dealings listed here were the trades in Country E!

When Country E was mentioned, a figure appeared in his head.

Could it be...?!

His fingers shook as he scrolled down.

Then, Gunan saw the other news about his alleged relationship and dealings with the notorious criminal, Xiong De.
