Chapter 682 - No Way Out (II)

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…?

For a moment, his mind ceased thinking.

The world appeared to fall into a sluggish state. He could barely hear the garbled sounds around him, only the deafening sound of his heartbeat in his ears.

After what seemed like an eternity, he felt someone shaking him.

Only then did Gunan\'s mind snap back to awareness.

No..!

Those people must not touch the doc.u.ments yet!

They had not reconsolidated the final doc.u.ments yet. All of those doc.u.ments were the forged legal doc.u.ments which he had acquired from the black market. It was not fully consolidated yet with the archived government records. The traces of the logs had not been adjusted yet.

The national investigation team was top notch. If they confiscated those right now, then they would find the loopholes in them and finally find them fake.

Gunan\'s lips trembled.

"S-stop them… You must stop them!"

Guan Gu Ri looked at his brother \'confusedly\'.

"Why do we need to stop them, third brother? They entered with a warrant. There is nothing we can do. As you said earlier, if the government wants it, we can just hand over to them the legal doc.u.ments."

Gunan\'s furious eyes looked Guan Gu Ri.

It was not as if you did not know it!

He had already told this dumb man that Univ One was not entirely made of legal means.

Did this fool still not understand how grave this matter was if the relevant departments got hold of those fake doc.u.ments?!

Gunan gritted his teeth and said in a low voice only audible to Guan Gu Ri. "Brother, I mentioned it to you before. Have you forgotten?"

Guan Gu Ri continued to look confused.

Gunan whispered in reminder. "Univ One has to depend on some illegal trading. Although it can be fixed..."

"Huh?" Guan Gu Ri\'s eyes were wide. He looked shocked. "You said something like that? When?"

Gunan: "..."

"Is it really true? Univ One is founded by illegal trade, just as said in the articles?" Guan Gu Ri asked urgently in a whisper.

His face was innocent and had a convincingly stupefied look of disbelief.

"..."

Gunan began to doubt himself.

He told him, didn\'t he? He just told him yesterday!

Something felt odd, but he was prompted by urgency and failed to pay attention to it.

"Are you kidding me? I told you about it yesterday. You have to stop them now, or else the whole Guan Empire will fall together with Univ One," Gunan continued to hiss through gritted teeth.

Having this useless conversation with Guan Gu Ri in the midst of such grave matters and wasting time annoyed Gunan to the bones.

However, Guan Gu Ri just looked at him like the stupid man that he was.

Finally, Gunan snapped.

To hell with this fool!

Gunan\'s eyes flashed with murderous intent.

After all this was settled, he would kill this useless man.

He turned calmly. "I\'ll go."

He could not just depend on this useless Guan Gu Ri and the Guan Empire.
