Chapter 862: A Direct Confrontation (5)

“I’m sorry…I’m sorry…” Ruan Zeyan’s heart ached as he hugged Ling Tianya, “It’s alright, I’m back…”

The situation was still dangerous, but Ling Tianya couldn’t care less. She buried herself in Ruan Zeyan’s arms and cried like a child who’d been bullied.

Du Gang and company subdued Mark’s subordinates barehanded, only the injured Mark was still resisting.

Backed into a corner, Mark took out the last grenade left in his pocket, pulled the pin and threw it in Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya’s direction.

“Boss, look out!”

The bomb landed by Ruan Zeyan’s feet, he didn’t have time to think but picked Ling Tianya up in his arms and started running. At the moment the bomb detonated, Ruan Zeyan crouched to the floor, shielding Ling Tianya with his body.

The explosion caused a commotion. By the time that things died down, Mark had already taken advantage of the confusion and jumped into the lake.

Du Gang and company were about to give chase but were stopped by Ruan Zeyan. They had more important things to do right now.

Right now, Ruan Guosheng, who was already at Ruan Teng Corporation, still didn’t know about the disruption to his plans at the mansion, and the shareholders’ meeting was about to go on as planned.

Ruan Guosheng had gathered all the shareholders of Ruan Teng Corporation, even those who weren’t in town were contacted by video call. He wanted everyone to know that the Ruan family was his now.

The biggest conference room on the Ruan Teng Corporation’s top floor was filled with people.

Not only were the corporation’s shareholders at the meeting, but also relatives and clan members of the Ruan family.

Qin Shi sat on an elevated seat, looking down on everyone else. Finally, she could sit here and become the most respected woman in the Ruan family.

Ruan Guosheng had brought his entire family today. He sat in Ruan Qishan’s seat, while Ruan Fusheng sat in Ruan Zeyan’s seat.

Lao Wu and Lao Qi were considered elders in the Ruan family clan. What was Ruan Guosheng up to, holding this big meeting with no warning and gathering all the shareholders and clan members?

The Ruan family’s clan members discussed it in hushed voices while the bolder among them went to ask Lao Wu and Lao Qi if they knew anything.

The two of them were also full of questions, but to live up to their reputation as elders, they could only bite their tongues and answer with fake composure, “Just wait, you will know when the time comes.”

Lao Qi gently nudged Lao Wu. “Wu, what do you think Ruan Guosheng is up to? He called all of us here, but he’s sitting on the chairman’s seat. Where is Ruan Qishan?”

Lao Wu glanced at Ruan Guosheng, “Who knows what’s going on, let’s just wait and see. He’ll explain eventually.”

Hearing Lao Wu’s words, Lao Qi could only shut up and sit upright in the chair. But the curiosity in his heart only grew.

Ruan Guosheng was still waiting for news from Mark. After getting rid of Ruan Qishan and his family, Mark would arrange for the mansion to look as if it had been attacked before leaving.

This way, Ruan Guosheng could smoothy sum up the incident as retributive action by a terrorist organization. As for him, he would sadly take the reigns in dear Ruan Qishan’s place.

He knew that his plan wasn’t foolproof and that some clan members and shareholders would be suspicious.

But Ruan Guosheng didn’t care about that. So what if they were suspicious? Now that Ruan Qishan and Ruan Zeyan were gone, he was the only son of the old man. Besides, he wasn’t present at the time when the incident happened either. Since he dared to work with KSI, he had thought of how to clear his name already.

Only…

Ruan Guosheng glanced at the time again. It was just getting rid of a few people. Even if a few of the Ruan family’s guards were there to make the process a little more troublesome, shouldn’t it be done by now?

What hadn’t Mark given him the news yet?
