Chapter 676 - Caught in a Trap (III) (1/2)

Guan Gu Ri played innocent. Worries and anxiousness were in his eyes. ”What business? Did you really step into the black waters?”

Gunan lowered his eyes. ”Do you really expect me to always rely on you and the family for the inheritance battle, when you all abandoned me alone in such an unfamiliar place? If I don't have Univ One, I won't be able to even enter the shareholders' eyes nor have a chance to fight for the heir position. Do you blame me?”

Guan Gu Ri stiffened. His eyes flashed darkly.

Don't you dare use my brother's grievances to ask pity from me!

His lips trembled with fury, but he kept it well.

Guan Gu Ri: ”Brother… I did not mean that… I don't blame you. As your brother, I just want to know so that I can help you. We need to create backup details for your…. lie.”

Gunan hid a smirk inside. This dumb man was really easy.

He pretended to sound sad. ”It's not dirty money. But in order to get the funds fast, there are indeed a few slightly illegal means that we could not avoid using.”

Guan Gu Ri looked worried. ”Such as?”

”You don't need to know. Just cover me with this, brother. Univ One is the Guan Empire's trump card now.”

Bastard.

Guan Gu Ri lowered her eyes. He was still upset. However, it was not the time to blow his cover yet.

He touched his necktie surreptitiously.

'You heard all of that?'

Outside the Guan Empire's premises, two parking lots away, a low-key mini van was parked.

Guan Xixin, Lin Ruo, and a police officer heard the conversation through Guan Gu Ri's installed bug in his tie.

(A/n: Lin Ruo- SHM's PR, one of the owners of SHM, the lean guy.)

Lin Ruo replayed the conversation many times.

He then looked at the officer.

”Officer, is it enough for your people to warrant an arrest?”

The officer had a solemn expression.

”Yes. The article might be vague and can't be used as evidence because it was reported anonymously, but his words about using illegal means can hold him accountable. However...” The police officer glanced at Guan Xixin. ”Are you sure it will be alright? Once we publicize issuing a warrant of arrest for the new chairman of the Guan Empire, the Guan Empire will surely fall down along with it.”

Guan Xixin's eyes were firm and unwavering.

”We have already resolved ourselves. The Guan Empire might fall from this, but do not underestimate us. We can bring it the top heights again. We must remove the rot first before that can happen.”

The Guan brothers knew that they were damaging the Guan Empire's interest with their own hands, but if that was what it takes to bring that fraud down, then they were willing to do it.

The officer finally nodded.
