Whale did not stop them, handing over the items and the controller to He Yong; He Yong did not show the slightest carelessness, searching them thoroughly from head to toe.

At the same time, he had Li Cheng, who was guarding outside, come in.

Li Cheng and his men had also rushed over at the first opportunity, but they had been arranged by He Yong to stay on the perimeter; the inside was already very well prepared, and with He Yong watching, it was secure.

Therefore, the outside also needed someone trustworthy to keep watch, and Li Cheng was a very good choice.

"Take this thing away," He Yong said.

Li Cheng looked at the box, said nothing, took it directly, and left.

They waited for a full half hour before word came from Li Cheng that the item had been secured and there were absolutely no problems.

At this point, even if Whale still had a controller, it was useless.

Whale did not stop them, and did not even cast a glance.

"You trust me just like that? You should know that if I go back on my word now, you won't have a single trump card left, and I really don't believe you have two of these things," Zhang Ran said.

Whale said, "I trust my judgment."

Zhang Ran looked at him, speechless, and said, "Being trusted by a guy like you is really not a good thing."

After saying this, Zhang Ran waved his hand and said, "You can leave now, remember what I said."

This was letting Ares and his men leave; as for these people like Ares, Zhang Ran did not take them seriously.

Moreover, these people like Ares had effectively placed their lives and livelihoods in Zhang Ran's hands, as all their information was now held by Zhang Ran.

"Brother," Ares said, unable to help calling out as he looked at Whale.

"It's fine, you've done very well," Whale smiled and said.

He then said nothing more; in any case, he would not survive today, as it was impossible for Zhang Ran to let him go.

He had also prepared himself.

Ares and the others looked at each other, then sighed, and one by one, they left the place.

They waited for another half hour or so like this; both sides were very quiet, and Zhang Ran did not urge anything.

It was not until some sound that seemed like static came from an inconspicuous place on Whale's body that Whale finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I really didn't trust the wrong person," Whale said.

"Heh, that makes it sound like I really enjoy your trust. Alright, enough nonsense, hand over the item," Zhang Ran said.

Whale did not dawdle any longer; he took a knife from the items He Yong had searched earlier, pried open the handle, and pulled out a USB drive from inside.

"Everything is in here, but it requires a password; if you enter it wrong once, the contents will self-destruct," Whale said.

Zhang Ran had someone bring over a computer, then signaled for Whale to begin the operation.

Very quickly, Zhang Ran saw some things, and the look in his eyes turned dangerous.

It contained the evidence Whale had collected over so many years, and the most damning piece of evidence was a video.

The video was not very clear, as conditions back then were limited, but Zhang Ran recognized those two people at a glance.

After watching the video, Zhang Ran closed his eyes for a long time before slowly saying, "What is the story behind this video?"

Whale said, "If you had investigated, you should know that back in '05, an accident occurred when one of their family members went out traveling."

Zhang Ran nodded to indicate he knew.

"You really did suspect it long ago," Whale said, laughing immediately upon seeing Zhang Ran's expression.

If Zhang Ran hadn't suspected it long ago, he wouldn't have known it in such detail; one had to know that this news had been suppressed at the time and hadn't caused any impact.

"So you're saying you did it?" Zhang Ran did not deny anything.

"That's right, I did it, but don't worry, to this day, they haven't suspected it; I did it very discreetly."

"You also know that in big families like theirs, there is too much infighting; this was just a tiny bit of it, and it could be considered an unexpected harvest for me," Whale said.

He had only wanted to kidnap that person to ask some questions at the time, but he hadn't expected to get such an unexpected surprise.

However, this surprise also effectively ended that person's life.

Over all these years, Whale had sought countless ways, but he had been unable to do anything to the people of that family.

They were not like Zhang Ran, where the family had so few people, and where family affection was very important in the Zhang Family, far more important than money and wealth.

Those people were different; family affection?

Heh, does such a thing even exist?

So many of Whale's methods could not be effective; the only method he could think of was to exhaust his family fortune to buy a Miniature H-Weapon to see if he could take a few of them down with him.

But ever since he learned of Zhang Ran's return, he immediately changed his mind; the only ones who could deal with these people were others of their same social stratum.

And these people would not clash unless there was a massive conflict, let alone take action against someone.

But Zhang Ran was different; Zhang Ran had a deep blood feud with them, the kind that would not end until one side was dead.

That was why he did this.

"I also didn't expect that you, the dignified Zhang Ran, would actually be so easy to trust others, and in the end, be played by them. Do you know how much benefit they gained after that incident?" Whale seemed to mock him.

Zhang Ran said coldly, "You'd better worry about yourself."

"Me? I'm a dead man walking, do I need to worry?" Whale did not care at all.

Zhang Ran chuckled, "Right, you're quite open-minded, but are you really willing to just die like this?"

"Are you saying you'll let me go?" Whale seemed somewhat surprised.

"No!" Zhang Ran said crisply and decisively.

Whale was immediately annoyed; he stared at Zhang Ran with angry eyes—this was just playing with him.

When Zhang Ran said those words earlier, he really had a glimmer of a desire to survive; after all, if one can live, who wants to die?

But the next moment, Zhang Ran shattered this fantasy, causing his previously calm state of mind to collapse instantly.

Zhang Ran looked at him and said, "Don't look at me like that. Before mocking others, you should think about yourself. It is very simple for me to play you, understand?"

Whale stopped talking; this guy Zhang Ran was simply petty and vengeful. He had only mocked him a little, and he had immediately paid him back.

However, Jingyu thought about it carefully; perhaps this was for the best. Zhang Ran had suffered such a great loss in that matter, and with his personality, he certainly would not let it rest.

"That's enough, I can't be bothered to waste any more breath on you. Go well on your way," Zhang Ran said as he picked up the computer and stood up.

Jingyu still wanted to say something, but the next moment, a gunshot rang out. Jingyu's eyes held a trace of astonishment and a hint of unwillingness; this unwillingness was caused by the sliver of hope Zhang Ran had just given him.

He Yong put away his pistol and signaled for the people nearby to carry the body away, though his eyes were filled with anger at this moment, as he had also seen the video and documents from just before.
