Chapter 593: 589. A Family Should Be Kept Together (Please Subscribe and Vote)

Looking at Mu Weiguo's calm appearance, Zhang Ran laughed in spite of himself: "Uncle Mu, is there not even a shred of guilt in the depths of your heart?"

"Doing this should be the most unfair thing to me, right? And do you think I would really be swayed by public opinion? Perhaps by then, you might have died in vain."

Mu Weiguo's expression did not change, though there was deep guilt in his eyes; finally, he sighed and said: "Mr. Zhang, I know I have let you down, our whole family has let you down, and I have nothing else to say. I accept this responsibility."

"At the same time, no matter what happens in the future, I accept it; it is the retribution our Mu Family has earned. However, by that time I will already be dead, and I cannot be bothered to worry about what happens after."

Zhang Ran laughed, "At this point, you are still prepared to die? All for the sake of resolving this hidden danger for your son?"

"What else can I do if I don't die?" Mu Weiguo said indifferently.

Yet, upon hearing this, Zhang Ran detected the sense of determination in his words, and at this moment, he completely cast aside the last shred of respect he had for Mu Weiguo as an elder.

Looking at this matter, although Mu Weiguo's words were full of indebtedness toward Zhang Ran, from the moment he made his choice, he had treated Zhang Ran as an absolute enemy.

That meal back then could be called Mu Jinyuan's choice alone, but in reality, it was also the choice of their entire family.

At that time, they all knew there was something wrong with that meal, but none of them refused, because they wanted to live a better life.

The facts were as they wished; they lived a life they previously wouldn't have dared to imagine, but now, they did not want to pay the price.

"Fine, then I won't stop you," Zhang Ran said as he stood up.

Now it was Mu Weiguo's turn to be stunned; he didn't feel any regret, but asked in surprise: "You aren't afraid?"

"It doesn't matter; one doesn't worry about debt when there is too much of it. In any case, I am just staying behind the scenes, and after half a year, everyone will probably have forgotten about this," Zhang Ran said indifferently.

However, as he walked to the door, Zhang Ran added: "But I also advise you to be a little later, so that your whole family doesn't have to struggle to catch up with you later."

Mu Weiguo's expression changed drastically, "Mr. Zhang, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Ran turned around and said with a half-smile: "Is it only allowed for you to start the fire, but not for me to light the lamp? There is no such logic in this world, is there?"

"Are you really not afraid that public opinion will ruin you?" Mu Weiguo's tone trembled slightly; he felt that he had always thought of Zhang Ran as being a bit too kind.

"Ruin me? Heh, let me lay my cards on the table for you here; it also happens to give you a choice," Zhang Ran said softly.

"Do you believe that when the time comes, I can make Mu Jinyuan do it himself, making him personally take your entire family down with him? I won't even need to go to any trouble, and by then, the news will only report that Mu Jinyuan couldn't bear the blow and took his own life."

Zhang Ran's tone was very light, but it was like a giant hammer slamming heavily into Mu Weiguo's heart.

"No, he wouldn't do that," Mu Weiguo finally panicked.

"He will. As long as he doesn't want Mu Yuan and the others to suffer endless torture before dying, he will do it," Zhang Ran said calmly.

After saying this, he opened the door and left directly.

Seeing Zhang Ran leave, Mu Weiguo slumped into his chair.

Would Zhang Ran really do that?

There was a high probability!

Because his death would certainly bring negative consequences for Zhang Ran—consequences that were very serious, potentially even inviting official investigations and restrictions.

If public opinion reached a certain point, Zhang Ran might even suffer huge losses because of it.

This was also the reason why he did it.

But if he didn't achieve the effect he wanted in the end, Zhang Ran probably wouldn't care about a few more lives, and as for Mu Jinyuan's choice, that was also very likely.

The once-determined Mu Weiguo was now speechless; he felt as if everything had been seen through by Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran chose to bear the consequences; he didn't care about these things, but could he, Mu Weiguo, afford not to care?

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Weiguo sighed deeply, his previously straight back instantly hunched over, and he began to silently clear the dishes.

Sitting in the car, Zhang Ran looked at He Yong in the front and asked with a smile: "Dayong, aren't you going to ask if I would really do that?"

He Yong said softly: "Brother Zhang, you only need to make the choice; leave the rest to me."

"This is different from your previous values," Zhang Ran laughed.

He Yong also laughed, "My previous values haven't changed, but when someone does something wrong, they need to be punished. Besides, they aren't the ones in the right, so there's no conflict."

Zhang Ran smiled and said nothing more; He Yong didn't ask another word, his heart already prepared.

After returning to the hotel, Zhang Ran went to where Zhang Sicheng and the others were, and only said one sentence.

"Prepare yourselves, the decisive battle is tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Zhang Sicheng and the others were immediately stirred up and exceptionally excited. While everyone else was still waiting for the situation to develop, waiting to see when to enter the fray and which side to take, Zhang Ran had already begun to close the net.

No one expected Zhang Ran to initiate the decisive battle so quickly. Does Galaxy Capital really have no capital left at all now?

Obviously not. Not to mention the money from those shareholders, Galaxy Capital itself had quite a lot, and just as Mu Jinyuan said, many other overseas capitals were eyeing this big piece of fat.

No matter when, they actually had the strength to fight, but Zhang Ran clearly did not want to give them that chance.

The decisive battle was about to arrive!

As for those who wanted to take this opportunity to make a good profit, Zhang Ran would certainly not give them that chance.

From the very beginning, Zhang Ran knew that to solve the problem of Galaxy Capital, he had to act quickly. Once it dragged on, he would fall into a passive position.

The money from those shareholders had only been withdrawn temporarily, and Nianrun would not really fight to the death with these people for Zhang Ran's sake.

Zhang Ran did not have such great charisma; he was very clear about this himself.

Therefore, he had been preparing from the start, or rather, the idea had formed in his mind when Mu Jinyuan unexpectedly lost seven billion to him.

It could be considered that Mu Jinyuan had taken the initiative to deliver this opportunity to Zhang Ran.

Seven billion was not a small amount, especially in terms of liquid capital; it was already a very large sum.

Coupled with the accidental discovery that Xiao Long was actually Qiu Qianyang, the timing was already ripe.

After Zhang Ran finished speaking, he left, leaving behind the excited and anxious Zhang Sicheng and the others.

However, at the same time, people like Xin Youmin had also received the news, and they were shocked by Zhang Ran's decisiveness and speed.
