Chapter 241: 237. Zhang Ran, you had this calculated long ago!

Zhang Ran arrived quite early, and everyone had only just started work. After Zhang Ran got out of the car, he saw someone who looked somewhat "familiar."

"Feng Hui, do you recognize him?" Zhang Ran asked, pointing at a person.

Feng Hui looked at the man, thought carefully for a moment, and said, "If I remember correctly, this person should be a director in the Production Department. His name should be something like Yu Mingzhi. Yes, that's the name."

Upon hearing this name, Zhang Ran's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he said indifferently, "Fire him."

After saying this, Zhang Ran walked straight into the building. He offered no explanation, nor did he ask another word.

Feng Hui was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly. He didn't ask any further questions, simply keeping the name in his mind; once everything was completely finished later, he would be the first to fire this person.

This was the first task the new boss had assigned, so Feng Hui definitely had to handle it well!

Along the way, Zhang Ran and his group attracted many people's gazes. Everyone was looking them over with curiosity; they had all heard about the events happening in the company over the past few days, and although it wasn't entirely accurate, they had heard at least something.

Zhang Ran ignored their gazes and walked straight to the conference room—the one in question. By this time, many people had already arrived, including Tian Yaohui.

Although these people did not yet know what the outcome would be, they knew that a result would definitely be produced today.

Tian Yaohui had already staked everything on one throw, and the Changshi Government already knew of Zhang Ran's speed, so any decision would have been discussed and finalized in the last two days; it would not be dragged out any longer.

Upon seeing Zhang Ran, Tian Yaohui did not speak, but simply sat quietly in his seat, closing his eyes to rest his mind.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the final moment of judgment.

Zhang Ran was in no hurry to announce the answer. Even if he said it now, he reckoned Tian Yaohui and the others wouldn't believe it, and he wasn't in a rush for the moment.

At this time, even if some people had an urgent need to use the restroom, they were holding it in. They didn't want to leave for just a few minutes only to find that earth-shaking changes had occurred upon their return.

Under such an atmosphere, the door to the conference room was slowly pushed open, and everyone's gaze snapped toward it.

When they saw who had arrived, Tian Yaohui's expression turned excited, and he stood up from his chair all at once. He knew the person who had arrived; it was the leader from the Public Security Bureau in charge of economic cases.

Tian Yaohui's emotions were surging at this moment. He believed this person was here to help him, because in the materials he had given to the Chang City leaders, he had indicated that Zhang Ran might have engaged in improper acquisition practices during the takeover process, and that there were also issues with the source of his funds.

And once the Changshi Government decided to help him, they would start from this angle to call a halt to Zhang Ran's acquisition plan.

If the Changshi Government had chosen not to help him, there would be no need to send anyone at all; they would have simply responded with silence.

Therefore, Tian Yaohui believed he had won! He had won his gamble again!

The others thought so too, and one by one, they seemed to heave a long sigh of relief.

They didn't want Tian Yaohui to lose, because once Tian Yaohui lost, it would correspondingly mean that their assets would shrink by more than half.

After all, the valuation Zhang Ran gave for Yaotian Group was only thirty billion, and naturally, they were unwilling to sell it so cheaply.

Some people even looked at Feng Lian and the other two elders with sympathetic gazes, but these three didn't seem to have any dejected expressions; they remained very calm.

This left them feeling somewhat puzzled.

Tian Yaohui didn't care about that; the look he gave Zhang Ran was filled with smugness and gloating!

Haha, Zhang Ran, you lost!

And you lost very thoroughly this time!

As long as he, Tian Yaohui, could survive this time, the matter of the shares would no longer be a heavy stone in his heart, because someone else was carrying it for him!

At this moment, Tian Yaohui felt the sky was so bright and the air was so fresh! If the occasion had allowed it, he would have wanted to sing a song!

It wasn't that Tian Yaohui lacked depth; on the contrary, Tian Yaohui's depth was greater than most people's, but the excitement in Tian Yaohui's heart at this moment was something others could hardly comprehend.

He, Tian Yaohui, knew very well what kind of person Zhang Ran was, and he was even clearer about Zhang Ran's capabilities. It could be said that ever since Zhang Ran returned, he, Tian Yaohui, hadn't slept a single good night; from this, one could see just how great his pressure was.

But now it was different. From this moment on, he, Tian Yaohui, would never have to worry about Zhang Ran again!

Zhang Ran saw Tian Yaohui's gaze and a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes. Seeing this, Tian Yaohui's heart suddenly skipped a beat, he didn't know why.

This happened in just a fleeting moment. At this instant, the police officer here spoke up: "Tian Yaohui, you are involved in the illegal occupation of others' property. We have now opened a case for investigation. Please come back with us to assist in the investigation."

As soon as these words were spoken, the joyful atmosphere that had just risen in the room instantly dissipated, and the air grew stagnant once again.

Tian Yaohui's face turned deathly pale, and he asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"You are involved in the illegal occupation of others' property. Please come with us!" the police officer repeated, expressionless.

Tian Yaohui slumped into his chair with a thud. The rise and fall had come so quickly that he could never have imagined it would turn out like this, because he felt he had done everything very well.

Even if Zhang Ran could find some things, they wouldn't be enough to open a case for investigation; they could only be suspicions.

Moreover, the attitude of the Chang City side also chilled him to the bone. This was not only not helping him, Tian Yaohui, but they were also going to go after him together.

Tian Yaohui's eyes bulged as he stared fixedly at Zhang Ran and said, "Zhang Ran, is it you who caused this? You have no evidence! You are operating in violation of the rules!"

At this moment, Tian Yaohui still wouldn't give up, or rather, he wanted to make a deathbed struggle.

Zhang Ran said expressionlessly, "Tian Yaohui, from the moment you made that decision, you should have thought of this scene."

Tian Yaohui didn't answer and continued to stare fixedly at Zhang Ran. At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and he seemed to have thought of something.

"Zhang Ran, you had this calculated long ago, didn't you? You knew long ago that I would use the employees as my trump card, didn't you?

So that's it. This was a trap you set for me. Your previous goals were all fake; this was your true purpose," Tian Yaohui muttered.

Not until this moment did he truly understand. Zhang Ran must have had some evidence in his hands, but this evidence shouldn't have been enough to finish him, Tian Yaohui—it might have even been difficult to open a case.

If Zhang Ran had had sufficient evidence, he wouldn't have needed to wait until now.

Before, this evidence hadn't been enough, but ever since Tian Yaohui made this move, it was enough. Because as long as there was evidence to prove certain things, and adding the fact that he, Tian Yaohui, had offended the Changshi Government this time, then everything was sufficient, and everything had become a matter of course!
