Chapter 544: 540. Little Tricks Are Useless (Please Subscribe and Vote)
Jin Meng's words made Rong Huaqiang very uneasy; how did this get dragged into the matter of a kidnapping?
However, to Zhang Ran, his words were clearly a lie; that was not what was said earlier at the entrance of the orphanage.
Rong Huaqiang looked at Jin Meng; he still understood Jin Meng somewhat. Although he was not his direct subordinate, he had some understanding of all his subordinates; this was his habit.
Rong Huaqiang discovered that Jin Meng did not seem to be lying, so he frowned and said to Zhang Ran, "Mr. Zhang, is there some misunderstanding here?"
Zhang Ran could truly no longer suppress his anger at this moment; these two were still putting on an act in front of him.
Zhang Ran took a deep breath and said, "Fine, since you say it's a misunderstanding, then let it be a misunderstanding. You, Rong, if your company doesn't go bankrupt within a week, then it is I, Zhang Ran, who is incompetent."
"If Nannan suffers even the slightest accident, even if she loses a layer of skin, you had better pray that you have no evidence of any illegal or criminal activities. Otherwise, if you are ever able to get out, I, Zhang Ran, will kneel and kowtow to you."
After saying this, Zhang Ran turned and left. He did not want to stay; staying was meaningless. It seemed the authority he, Zhang Ran, had established was not enough.
While he said a week, in reality, the time in Zhang Ran's heart was only three days.
As he walked, Zhang Ran took out his phone and began to make calls; this time, he was truly incomparably furious.
A part of it was because of Big Sister, a part was truly pitying these children, and another part was that such matters themselves enraged Zhang Ran.
Since his return, the ultimate goal of everything Zhang Ran had done was only one: to protect the safety of his family.
For such a long time, Zhang Ran had not moved against the children of his enemies without reason, a large part of which was to not leave them any psychological excuses.
Even though these people were spending money that originally belonged to Zhang Ran, Zhang Ran had not moved against them.
Tian Yaohui's son and Zhuo Fan's son were both accidents.
Although Rong Huaqiang did not know the relationship between Big Sister and Zhang Ran, since he dared to do this, he might truly dare to move against Zhang Xiaotao and the others.
This was something Zhang Ran absolutely could not tolerate.
Rong Huaqiang panicked. Zhang Ran had even said those words, proving he was serious and not just trying to scare him.
Rong Huaqiang might not be too clear on how much ability Zhang Ran had, but he understood that if Zhang Ran really wanted to bring down his company, it really wasn't very difficult.
Come to think of it, he, Rong Huaqiang, was also a figure in Xi City, but compared to Zhang Ran, he was far, far inferior.
Never mind Zhang Ran, even Tian Yaohui and Zhuo Fan, who had been put away by Zhang Ran, were much stronger than him.
He had just thought that this matter was not a big deal; at the very least, according to the personality of Zhang Ran he understood, nothing would happen.
And the sense of responsibility he displayed should also allow Zhang Ran to remember him.
This was the goal he wanted to achieve, and this was also the reason why he had been neither humble nor pushy, and even subtly retorted to Zhang Ran a few times.
It must be said that society is truly a great dyeing vat, fully capable of turning a person into someone else silently and imperceptibly.
Who could have imagined that this Rong Huaqiang before him, with his complex thoughts and who had thought of so many things in such a short time, was once just an honest and simple man.
He had even felt uneasy and restless when speaking a few words to people in the city.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment," Rong Huaqiang shouted hurriedly. He could no longer care about his image and stumbled as he went to chase after Zhang Ran.
However, just as he was about to get close, he was blocked by He Yong.
"Mr. Zhang, it really is a misunderstanding. I really don't know anything about Nannan. Mr. Zhang, please wait, I will definitely give you an explanation," Rong Huaqiang said anxiously.
Zhang Ran stopped his steps and sneered, "A misunderstanding?"
"Really, Mr. Zhang, it really is a misunderstanding. No matter what kind of bastard I, Rong Huaqiang, am, it is impossible for me to do something like kidnapping a child. Please believe me. If I am lying, may I be struck by lightning, no, may I and my family all die a horrible death." Rong Huaqiang could not care about anything else; he dared to swear any kind of vicious oath.
Because he was clear that if he did not give Zhang Ran an explanation tonight, then his company would truly be finished.
Even he himself would go inside. Rong Huaqiang was very clear that over these many years, aside from the beginning when he kept to his duties, he had done no shortage of overstepping things afterward.
Added to the connection with Zhang Ran, it would be very, very difficult for him to get out.
Therefore, he completely lacked that calm and composed appearance from just a moment ago.
Jin Meng was completely stunned. Previously, he had felt that his boss had a lot of poise, even when facing this person who seemed to have a high status, he was reasonable and had evidence.
And the current Rong Huaqiang was somewhat disheveled; one of his slippers had even been kicked off, but he did not feel it in the slightest.
At this moment, Jin Meng also knew that he had truly offended someone he could not afford to offend.
Zhang Ran stood and looked at Rong Huaqiang, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said indifferently, "Fine, I will give you one more chance."
Although he could not stand the current Rong Huaqiang, in reality, the current Zhang Ran was in a weak position. This weakness was not a gap in status, money, or aura, but that Nannan was in their hands.
Zhang Ran would not put Nannan in danger just to vent his anger; that was not his personality.
Therefore, no matter how uncomfortable or angry Zhang Ran was right now, he needed to save Nannan first.
Seeing this scene, Rong Huaqiang felt his heart relax and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, thank you, Mr. Zhang."
"Enough nonsense, hand Nannan over to me now, and she must be completely unharmed," Zhang Ran said coldly.
Rong Huaqiang nodded hurriedly, then looked at Jin Meng and scolded angrily, "Little Jin, how could you dare to do such a thing? What have I usually taught you?"
He first wanted to truly wipe this matter clean from himself. Although it really had nothing to do with him, as long as Zhang Ran did not believe it, then everything was in vain.
Jin Meng said with a mournful face, "Brother Rong, I really didn't lie to you. This matter was not done by us, and I, Jin Meng, would not do such a thing either. Brother Rong, you have to believe me."
Zhang Ran said at this time, "I am not here to watch you shift blame onto each other, and even less to watch you act."
"Also, I will put my words here: regardless of whether this matter was done by you or not, as long as something happens to Nannan, none of you will be able to run."
Zhang Ran was worried that they were stalling for time. As for what the purpose was, Zhang Ran did not want to guess, nor did he want to know; he only wanted the child to be completely unharmed now.
Rong Huaqiang did not dare to play any more of his little tricks and asked anxiously, "Little Jin, tell me the truth. I truly cannot afford to offend this Mr. Zhang. You heard him too; I cannot protect you, but as long as you hand the child over, I guarantee that even if I have to exhaust all my strength, I won't let you stay inside for long. And after you come out, I will give you shares."
