Chapter 865 - A Direct Confrontation (8)
Ruan Guosheng described the attack Ruan Zeyan as stemming from an old hatred between Ruan Zeyan and the KSI. That way, he could clear himself from suspicion.
Also, since it was an act of vengeance, it was natural for the KSI to kill Ruan Qishan and his entire family.
Ruan Guosheng observed everyone’s reactions and continued, “In this lifetime, my older brother had only one son, Ruan Zeyan. Zeyan was not an outsider, but the president of the company and the head of Ruan Shiyi’s clan. His status was extremely high and therefore, when this incident happened, it was ordered to be kept from the public. However, because of this, he became seriously ill and, in order not to cause fear, has kept it a secret. Now, the mansion is in a state of chaos and my elder brother cannot withstand the blow. Aunty is old, and when she heard that her grandson had gone missing, she became bedridden. Sister-in-law is a simple woman who cannot support anything. Tianya just gave birth and, despite feeling terrible, still has to take care of her child. As of right now, their family is incapable of taking care of company matters….”
Before he received news from Mike, that was all that he could say in order to avoid suspicion.
That way, when they got Mike’s phone call later, he would act devastated and shocked and say that Ruan Qishan and his family had been assassinated by the terrorist group in an act of revenge. Then, everything would seem genuine.
Ruan Guosheng was so happy that, if he weren’t in public, he would be unable to contain his smile.
Ruan Guosheng’s words clear, logical, and reasonable enough to convince everyone.
“Guosheng ah, since the situation has come to this, then what is to become of the company?” Old Fifth said while looking at Ruan Guosheng. “What will happen to the Ruan clan? In such a dangerous time, we must have someone who is willing to come out and bear the responsibility!”
Old Fifth’s words were like throwing out a brick and getting a jade thrown back, and gave Ruan Guosheng the perfect opportunity to recommend himself.
He smiled at Old Fifth. Ruan Guosheng was delighted at the moment but he could only say humbly, “Fifth Uncle, you’re the elder of the Ruan Family and so everything lies in your words.”
Old Fifth coldly smiled in his heart. This Ruan Guoshneg was obviously pretending to be obedient when it was convenient for him. But what could he do? Now, he had to lower his head since he was under the roof.
Ruan Zeyan was dead and Ruan Qishna had fallen. Now, wasn’t Ruan Guosheng the most powerful!
Old FIfth said, in a serious tone, “Ai. Who would have thought that something like this would happen to Qishan and his family. But even though we have been struck by tragedy, the Ruan clan cannot fall, the company cannot fall! Based on the rules, Ruan Mingxiao is the son of the head to the family and inherits everything.”
Ruan Guosheng’s eyes darkened upon hearing Old Fifth mention Ruan Mingxiao.
Old Fifth watched Ruan Guosheng’s expression before continuing, “However, right now, Ruan Mingxiao is much too young, and we can’t leave everything in the Ruan family in the hands of an infant. However, his mother, Ling Tianya is an intelligent woman. But she is a daughter-in-law that was married into the family, now that Zeyan is dead, will she remain a widow in the Ruan Family forever?”
Old Fifth’s words received sympathetic responses from the other clan members and the shareholders.
Old Fifth hesitated before continuing, “Therefore, right now, only Ruan Guosheng is suitable to bear responsibility for the company.”
Hearing Old Fifth mention him, Ruan Guosheng’s heart rate quickened, but he kept his expression subdued. “Fifth Uncle……I…..”
Old Fifth waved at Ruan Guosheng. “Technically, you are also my older brother’s son and share the Ruan Family bloodline. Now that the Ruan Family is in trouble, you are duty-bound to bear the responsibility.”
The shareholders and the other clan members present weren’t idiots. Everyone could tell that Ruan Guosheng and Old Fifth were working together.
