Chapter 685 - No Way Out (V) (1/2)
Guan Gu Ri smiled faintly at the person whom he had previously always thought as his brother, the person who had deceived him for many years, and who was now obviously containing his anger and panic inside.
His dark eyes slowly took everything he was seeing in.
Gunan exploded.
All hints of refined pretense had flown away in front of everyone, baring his true face.
”You! Who gave you the authority? I am the chairman of the Guan Empire! This is my territory!”
”Chairman? You think you are?”
”As far as I remember, I am given full authority over the Guan Empire...”
Guan Gu Ri mockingly smiled. His eyes were eerily cold. ”I'm tired of watching this now. It's about time to put an end to your show, Gunan.”
”What are--” The voice abruptly stopped.
His eyes met another pair that were devoid of emotion.
Gunan. He called him Gunan!
Gunan's eyes turned wide.
A chill crept into his heart.
...He knew.
In front of him, the shallow smile on Guan Gu Ri's lips slowly disappeared.
Perhaps due to his overwhelming hatred, he did not explode, shout, or punch in anger.
He was long past the explosion stage. His emotional state was now like a bubbling white-hot lava slowly and quietly rolling around, burning everything to embers in furious silence.
”You will pay for all your sins. For what you have done to my brother, and to my grandfather.”
He… He knew everything?!
Shock and disbelief were apparent in his eyes.
No, no, it can't be true… I must be hallucinating due to anger...
Because, if this was all true--
An officer from the national investigation team stepped forward and gestured politely.
”Please come with us, Sir Guan Gao Huan. You are suspected of committing illegal transactions relating to smuggling, human trafficking, illegal drugs…. You are suspected of violating legal business regulations and deception.... You are suspected of commiting severe identity theft and falsification....You are suspected of assisting Xiong De in attempted murder….”
The long series of charges listed one by one by the officer in charge made everyone who followed after Gunan dazed.
Smuggling, human trafficking, illegal drugs…
Deception… Identity falsification…
But.
Attempted murder together with Xiong De?
The chairman was suspected of attempted murder?!
This was an attempted murder they were talking about, and not only to anyone but to Master Xiong!
What was happening?!
Were all those rumors really true?!
The people on the floor could not comprehend what they've heard nor believed it for a moment.
After a few seconds of standstill, the whole place exploded.
The first thing they reacted to was the faith of the Guan Empire after having the empire's Chairman being arrested by the police.
”T-the e-empire is done for!”
While they were clamoring in panic, Guan remained unmoved.
He was stunned.
He had moles planted around the relevant departments. Although they could not move freely in the domestic police department as they had negligible positions, they should still be able to at least receive news.
There was no news about a pending report or a request for a warrant, so Gunan thought that they were still at the level of buying time.
However, it had already quietly reached and been processed by the police?
