Chapter 1015: 1010. Things That Should Be Done
Zhang Ran looked at Jiasen and the others with an expressionless face. Now that he had achieved final victory, the Rhode Family deserved to be punished.
Just as Jiasen himself said, the winner takes all and the loser is the villain; there was nothing to be said, and Zhang Ran would not have the slightest bit of sympathy.
"What kind of explanation do you want?" Jiasen took a deep breath and asked.
He knew that all of this was unavoidable and could only pray that Zhang Ran might soften his heart a little. Although this was a bit of a pipe dream, at this very moment, it was the only thing he could do.
In fact, even now, Jiasen still did not quite understand why his side had been so powerless to resist.
Although he knew that these were all Zhang Ran's calculations, things Zhang Ran had prepared long ago, and even more so, what Zhang Ran called the irresistible trend of the times.
But for many things, even if Zhang Ran laid them out in the open, he still could not quite understand why the changes had been so fast.
However, thinking about this now was meaningless. Defeat was defeat; there was not the slightest reason to be argued.
Zhang Ran said, "You main members must spend the rest of your lives in prison. At the same time, send everyone who carried out the missions to Africa, and those who formally planned those matters back then must also be handed over."
Zhang Ran did not leave any room for sentiment by doing this; it was a stance completely intended to make the Rhode Family finish once and for all.
But upon hearing this, Jiasen only sighed. He knew his pipe dream had become a true pipe dream; Zhang Ran had not left him the slightest chance.
"Fine, give me one week," Jiasen sighed.
Sometimes, he did think about resisting. After all, in a situation like this, even if resistance failed, it seemed it couldn't get any worse, right?
But the fact was, Jiasen dared not resist, because a large portion of their family consisted of innocent people.
And this so-called innocence was only innocence regarding this matter involving Zhang Ran.
If they really resisted to the end, then Zhang Ran could fully utilize legal weapons to make these people finish completely as well.
Among them was Jiasen's son.
Jiasen knew what his son's situation was and had disciplined him, but it was of little use.
Fortunately, his son could be considered a good-for-nothing, and there was absolutely no possibility of his abilities threatening Zhang Ran.
Therefore, Zhang Ran had not mentioned these things from beginning to end.
Of course, the most important point was that Jiasen knew his son was actually a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong, or to put it more nicely, he knew how to read the situation.
He never went to offend people he could not afford to offend; in this regard, his son still had a good sense of things.
So Jiasen was not worried that he would go looking for his own death.
Three days later, Zhang Ran sat on the sofa, watching the television. The television was broadcasting a piece of news; this could be considered one of the biggest news stories in the United States over the past two days.
Not only in the United States, but also in those countries in Europe, this counted as a major news story.
The once-thriving Rhode Family was being investigated by the Investigation Bureau, and all core members had been arrested with conclusive evidence.
It appeared that this was all the work of the United States official authorities, but in reality, it was Jiasen himself who had handed over this evidence.
Just to put on such a show, at the final moment, Jiasen sold these people of his family for a good price.
After all, doing this gave the United States official authorities a huge boost in presence, causing the approval ratings of some people to rise by a large margin instantly.
Zhang Ran did not care about this; after all, there were some things that, once one reached his status, could not be done.
Like some small matters, then it did not matter; if the people did not report it, the officials would not investigate, and besides, it was not on their turf, so no one wanted to bother.
But if it involved a massive family like the Rhode Family, and one that also had very deep influence.
If Zhang Ran really acted himself just to satisfy a moment of spite, that would be called having something wrong with his brain.
Those who knew Zhang Ran understood that Zhang Ran was a bit emotional in many matters, but on some key issues, Zhang Ran rarely did so.
Just like since Zhang Ran returned, most of the things he had done were actually utilizing the law, and everything could be justified.
If it were not like this, the higher-ups would not support Zhang Ran so much.
After all, having reached this point, Zhang Ran still followed the rules; this was the best proof and was worth their support.
This was not just a question of whether the relationship was good or bad; there were too many things involved in this.
Furthermore, if Zhang Ran really took action himself, then people like the Rhode Family would certainly have some sense of "the fox mourning the death of the hare."
And by doing so, it would be even harder for Zhang Ran to break into the Europe and America market in the future.
Perhaps he would encounter unprecedented resistance.
This was not what Zhang Ran wanted.
And Zhang Ran now handed these matters over to the United States official authorities to do, even letting the Rhode Family handle it themselves; although the result was still miserable, everyone could accept it psychologically.
"Mr. Zhang, that side promises that they will finish handling these cases as quickly as possible. According to the fastest speed, I believe there will be a result within half a year," Aili said.
Half a year was already very fast; the things this involved were quite numerous.
This could also be considered an explanation given to Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran nodded, "Thank them for me. I won't show my face. I just hope that they will not receive special treatment in prison; this counts as my final request."
"I will convey Mr. Zhang's meaning up the line. I believe they will also carefully consider this request of Mr. Zhang's," Aili said with a chuckle.
He did not care about this; in any case, he had made a huge profit this time. Previously, although he was a super-rich man who had risen not long ago, while he was not afraid of those families with deep foundations in terms of wealth, he was still lacking in terms of connections.
But after going through this time, his shortcoming in this area had also been filled. This was the benefit of cooperating with Zhang Ran.
"Alright, then I will wait for your good news," Zhang Ran also laughed.
The final matter was resolved, so Zhang Ran could be considered able to relax a little, although there were still some other matters that needed to be handled.
But Zhang Ran did not intend to manage them; let these matters be handled by Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan. It could be considered a test Zhang Ran left for them.
"When will Mr. Zhang leave the United States?" Aili asked.
Zhang Ran smiled, "What? Is this an attempt to deport me?"
"I don't have that meaning, I just wanted to ask. At that time, I will arrange a banquet so everyone can gather," Aili said.
Zhang Ran thought about it and agreed. This was likely not just Aili's own intention; at the same time, Zhang Ran actually still needed to pull in some collaborators for the Huaxia side. This was something his current status required him to do.
"Then I will trouble Mr. Aili. One week later, I plan to return to Huaxia. If possible, let's set the time for then," Zhang Ran said.
"Alright, I will call Mr. Zhang at that time," Aili said.
