Chapter 682 - No Way Out (II) (1/2)
With Guan Gu Ri's question, the people in the room looked back at Gunan.
Gunan narrowed his eyes.
...The doc.u.ments were not ready yet.
He still needed around two weeks to prolong this battle of attrition. Once he got hold of them, he could easily turn things around.
However, Gunan could not say that in front of these distrustful, doubtful, and anxious people.
”Of course. Univ One is a legal company. The necessary doc.u.ments are always ready. Just put your trust in me.”
The board of directors collectively sighed in relief. Even if they doubted why they had to withhold from showing the doc.u.ments in advance to prove their innocence, they decided to listen to the chairman and the family head out of habit.
As long as the rumors were just rumors, then they could still overcome this.
Watching Gunan comfort them quietly, Guan Gu Ri sat on the couch and lowered his eyes.
A few minutes later, the phones of the people in the room started blinking. A notification had arrived.
”Sires, we have a big problem!”
….This was like a deja vu.
Gunan's eyes flashed dangerously.
What was it this time?!
The people in the room could not even glance at their phones as the head of security ran to the room and yelled.
”Family head, chairman! The government personnel came to investigate the rumors! The national investigation team and the police are here!”
What?!?!
The crowded office exploded uproariously.
The board of directors, the elders, and the shareholders were dumbfounded.
Gunan's heart began pounding. An ominous chill rose on his back.
”W-what are they doing here?”
Why are they here so fast?
No… Why were they here in the first place...?
This was the Guan Empire!
Their network of connections and influence in the government, together with the tricentennial history of their donations and contributions, would have been more than enough to let the government think twice on touching them!
Besides… It was not to the point yet where the public would push the government to act.
Guan Gu Ri stood up with a serious face.
”Did you let them in? Where are they?”
This was not the time to panic!
The man sweated. ”The people from the government are in the lobby. They have not entered the offices yet and are waiting for permission. But the media is outside. They are trying to get in. The employees are also disturbed. And in Univ One...”
Gunan's heart thumped.
”What happened to Univ One?”
At this time, Gunan's butler suddenly came in and yelled in panic.
”Master, they are already in Univ One's building and are confiscating every legal doc.u.ment! The police entered with a warrant!”
!!!
Gunan felt his body quake. His pupils dilated.
What…?
