Chapter 1013: 1008. Paying for the Family One More Time

At this time, for the bank to allow Zhang Ran's people to follow along was already a sign that they had no regard left for the Rhode Family.

But in reality, this was merely the bank trying to curry favor with Zhang Ran.

From this, it can be seen that the current Rhode Family only holds this much status in their hearts.

Jiasen and Qiaosilin both understood this, so they felt some anger in their hearts at this moment, yet they were helpless.

At this very moment, they had no room to resist.

For two consecutive days, the people from the bank were busy, and Yin Long also sent people to watch; the effect of doing this was not actually of much use, but it was necessary to put on an attitude.

Believe it or not, as long as he relaxed things here even slightly, the bank might just start harboring some ulterior motives.

When these things were finished, upon leaving, Yin Long looked at the Luode Xiongmei and said, "The day after tomorrow, Mr. Zhang Ran will come personally to take over the company; I hope to still see everyone then."

After finishing, Yin Long paused and said, "This is an opportunity for resolution. I think you all do not want to continue entangling things further; if it goes on like that, it will not be a good thing for you."

"I have said all that needs to be said. Farewell!"

Watching the backs of Yin Long and his group as they left, Jiasen clenched his fists, wanting to be angry, but he discovered that, at this moment, he actually could not summon any anger.

After closing his eyes for a long time, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of Jiasen's mouth, "Qiaosilin, send out the notice; the day after tomorrow, everyone from the Rhode Family who participated back then must be present."

Although Qiaosilin was unwilling in her heart, she was powerless by this point.

Qiaosilin nodded silently, but someone on the side said indignantly, "Are we just going to leave it at this?

Even if we have lost, we cannot be subjected to such humiliation."

Jiasen looked at the person speaking and suddenly sneered, "Mike, don't think about walking away, and don't think about fleeing. If you flee, then it will be the other clansmen who suffer the consequences."

Upon hearing this, Mike's complexion changed instantly.

"It is true that we proposed the plan back then, and I and Qiaosilin were the leaders, which allowed the two of us to go from being peripheral figures to becoming the core of the family.

We have never denied this point, but the plan we proposed back then did not involve a direct assault on Zhang Ran and the others. Who was it that proposed that? At this point, Mike, there is no need for you to keep pretending, right?" Jiasen said to himself.

Back then, he and Qiaosilin had indeed led the plan, but they only wanted to use Zhang Ran to cause conflict between Zhang Ran and other families.

Incidentally, if they could guide Zhang Ran into clashing with them, or even both sides suffering, those were results they were willing to see.

But there was no intention of wanting to kill Zhang Ran by force in that; there were many other detailed plans in between.

Although that plan might have failed, relatively speaking, it was better than such an intense plan.

When the final plan was implemented, Jiasen and the others had been angry, but it was useless; they were still only peripheral figures at the time.

Although they rose very quickly because of this incident, at that time, they really were not people who could influence the family.

At that time, they also had no ability to question the family about anything, otherwise, it would only have caused their previous efforts to go to waste.

So they chose to acquiesce.

Over these years, they also learned who exactly made the plan to kill Zhang Ran by force, but speaking of it at the time would have been useless; after all, Zhang Ran had already disappeared for such a long time.

However, it is impossible for Mike to leave now.

Qiaosilin also said at this time, "Uncle Mike, don't think about other things. If you want to leave, you have to see if the rest of the family agrees.

Since Zhang Ran said he wants to resolve this once and for all, then based on my understanding of him, no matter what the result is this time, he will not continue to entangle things further.

At that time, the rest of our family can still live a stable life.

But if you choose to leave now, then that stable life will be very, very difficult."

Hearing the two of them say this, Mike's eyes became somewhat frantic, "Don't make it sound so nice. Isn't it just that you want me to go out and take the blame at this time?

To let me go and eliminate Zhang Ran's anger so you can preserve yourselves? You two were the real leaders of that plan back then."

Jiasen looked at Mike in this state and sighed, saying, "Uncle Mike, you still don't understand us."

As he spoke, he looked at his sister Qiaosilin and said, "Qiaosilin, do you think Zhang Ran will let us off?"

"No!" Qiaosilin said decisively!

She was very certain about this point; Zhang Ran was actually very soft-hearted at many times, just like how he opened his heart to the two of them—who were not favored by the family—because of his soft-heartedness back then.

But sometimes, Zhang Ran's heart could also be exceptionally hard!

At this time, no matter how eloquently they spoke, no matter how innocent they claimed to be, Zhang Ran would not let them off.

"You can also rest assured; when the time comes, Qiaosilin and I will do what we must do, and you... also need to bear the responsibility you should bear," Jiasen said indifferently.

At this moment, he had already given up on resisting; it was meaningless.

At this time, he also understood a sentence Zhang Ran had said before: most of the time, people can use many methods to seek benefits for themselves.

But in the face of the great trend, it is difficult to block it.

Now Zhang Ran is performing for them what is called an irresistible trend!

At this moment, what is blocking them is not just a single Zhang Ran, but also countless forces entangled within it.

It has formed a dense, airtight net that firmly covers them, leaving them powerless to resist.

Under the shroud of this great net, all their resistance is futile.

They had seen it before and had tried to resist before, but the more they resisted, the more despair they felt.

It seems this is exactly what Zhang Ran wants them to feel, to let them watch all of this in despair.

Mike still said unwillingly, "I did this for the sake of the family."

He did not want to be finished just like that, because he knew that once Zhang Ran knew it was him who did it, Zhang Ran would not let him off; perhaps his final end would be more miserable than everyone else's.

Jiasen said faintly, "Then why not sacrifice yourself for the family one more time now?"

"And have you forgotten? The Rhode Family has never been of one mind. Do you really think Zhang Ran doesn't know what you did?" Jiasen said mockingly.

Mike's complexion changed again and again. What did Jiasen mean by this?

Jiasen did not say much more; he actually knew that, in private, someone had long since sold out the family's secrets to Zhang Ran.

When he found out about this, he did not stop it, because there was no need; it had reached this point, and it could be considered giving others a way to survive, even if it was at the cost of them, it didn't matter.
