Chapter 1006: 1001. Coming to Deliver the Person

Zhang Ran then began to make contact with certain people; as Zhang Ran contacted more people, the people on the side of the Rhode Family became increasingly panicked.

In fact, the moment Zhang Ran arrived in the United States, they had no confidence in their hearts, and now it was even more so.

Judging from the targets Zhang Ran was contacting, his purpose could not have been more obvious.

This made them realize something.

They also began to increase their efforts, but they discovered that some people simply would not see them, as if Zhang Ran had promised them immense benefits.

They simply would not listen to a word they said.

This left the Rhode Family not knowing what to do for a time.

They found that everything had been going against them lately, first with the indifference of their partners, and then with the issue of contract renewals.

People would rather pay the penalty for breaking the contract than renew with them.

This left them at a loss for words.

They had actually had their suspicions before, but now, with Zhang Ran's arrival and actions, they knew in their hearts that their target had been confirmed.

The Rhode Family was now in a state of panic, because two or three consecutive failures had suddenly left them without confidence.

Coupled with the fact that Zhang Ran's actions this time were so massive and essentially without the slightest concealment, their hearts were even more panicked.

"What should we do now?" Qiaosilin said with some irritation.

At this moment, she no longer had her previous composure; it was truly the case that these events had completely disrupted her state of mind.

To fail several times in a row and hit wall after wall—if anyone could still maintain their composure, that would truly be extraordinary.

Jiasen, however, was calmer than Qiaosilin at this moment. "What else can we do? To use a Huaxia saying, 'When soldiers come, block them with generals; when water comes, cover it with earth.'"

Qiaosilin looked at the calm-faced Jiasen and suddenly said, "It seems that choosing you as the head of this family back then wasn't entirely because I am a girl."

Jiasen smiled upon hearing this and did not say much else.

Over so many years, he had seemingly been inferior to Qiaosilin in many matters, but at times, he had done so deliberately.

Because he was very clear on one point: his younger sister Qiaosilin was too strong-willed and cared too much about certain things.

It was precisely because of this that Qiaosilin made the choice to betray Zhang Ran, because only in this way could she obtain certain things.

Therefore, Jiasen would choose to concede on some matters.

However, now was not the time for concessions.

Next, Jiasen began to take full control of the family's power and unleashed the voice that belonged to the Rhode Family.

Believe it or not, some people saw them in this state and really did choose to make some concessions, and there were also those who secretly placed their bets on his side.

The Rhode Family had been operating for so many years and still had some capital.

Zhang Ran did not care about this, or rather, these were all within his expectations; he continued to proceed at his own rhythm.

Just like that, the two sides began a head-on confrontation.

At the same time, both sides deployed their own methods in the stock market and futures market, with tens of millions in funds being poured in every day.

To deal with the Rhode Family, especially to resolve it as quickly as possible, it certainly wasn't as simple as just reaching cooperation with some people in private.

More of it required a head-on confrontation.

At the same time, Zhang Ran began to delegate people to contact individuals from major oil-producing nations and began a series of negotiations with them.

The Rhode Family was not idle either, but it seemed someone was anxious and began choosing to use unscrupulous means.

"Brother Zhang, Xiao Long has suffered an unidentified attack," He Yong said with a grave expression, also carrying a trace of killing intent; these people were still like this.

When they were no longer a match, they started using such methods.

Zhang Ran asked, "How is Xiao Long?"

"He is fine; the previous security measures were very good," He Yong said.

The place Yin Long represented Zhang Ran in this time was a Third World country, which was inherently more chaotic.

The Rhode Family had no small amount of influence there; over these years, a lot of the Rhode Family's funds had been poured into this region.

It had also earned them a significant price.

Now that Zhang Ran had intervened, they naturally chose to fight back.

However, Zhang Ran had long been prepared and said directly, "Investigate it clearly and tell Li Cheng."

He Yong nodded and did not say anything more.

The next day, news came from Li Cheng's side; he did not say anything specific, only that the mission had been completed.

At the same time, He Yong also began to prepare, and for a time, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

Just at this moment, Jiasen brought someone to him.

"Mr. Zhang, these matters were not authorized by me, but were this guy acting on his own initiative," Jiasen said with a calm expression.

Zhang Ran looked at Jiasen and laughed in spite of himself, "I don't quite understand what you are saying."

Jiasen was not surprised by this and only said, "I actually understand some things in my heart, and having reached this point, it is impossible for me to do such a thing.

Because if that were to fail, let alone our family surviving, perhaps even our bloodline would not continue."

"And I believe Mr. Zhang has such means," Jiasen said with a hint of depth at the end.

Zhang Ran did not show any reaction to this, which counted as tacit agreement.

In fact, he did not believe Jiasen would do such a thing at this time, because although Zhang Ran was on away ground, in reality, his status and position were already different.

As long as Jiasen chose to use some underhanded methods at this time, then those who would want to deal with him would not just be as simple as Zhang Ran.

By then, the Rhode Family would definitely be in an even more difficult position.

This was equivalent to digging their own grave.

It had not reached that moment yet, so for him to do this—and not even target him, Zhang Ran—was completely meaningless.

"Mr. Zhang, I have brought the person; do with him as you please," Jiasen said, taking a deep breath.

To do such a thing at this time was undoubtedly a heavy slap to their own family, and their already insufficient confidence was suddenly shaken even further.

But at this moment, Jiasen had to do this, because this way Zhang Ran could completely direct and act out a play himself.

And because of this matter, as long as this play happened, then most people would suspect their Rhode Family.

In this way, what they would need to face was even greater pressure, and at that time, it could truly be said there would be no chance at all.

Zhang Ran looked at Jiasen, smiled, and said, "You should handle this yourselves."

Jiasen was silent for a moment, waved his hand to have the person taken away, and just before leaving, he suddenly said, "Mr. Zhang, if back then..."

Zhang Ran interrupted his words directly at this time, "There are no ifs, facts are facts."

Jiasen took a deep look at Zhang Ran and said nothing more; he actually wanted to ask, if they hadn't betrayed him back then, what would it be like now?

But Zhang Ran did not give him this opportunity, because his motive for asking this was actually impure.
