Chen Hao
Chapter 27 Headquarters
At the top of a luxurious office building exceeding 38 floors, a middle-aged man was dressed in a neat suit, his face looking weathered and dignified. His palms were large and powerful, his eyes bright and piercing. Even though he was middle-aged, the body hidden beneath the neat suit still possessed explosive power.
At this moment, he stood before an old man and said in a deep voice, "Big Boss, something happened in the South District. Liang Tianyu is dead. Although there's no clear identification of the target, he was definitely murdered!"
A hint of astonishment flashed in the old man's slightly cloudy eyes, but it quickly disappeared: "Liang Tianyu, that little guy, was too eager for success, and he didn't leave any room for maneuver in his actions. He offended too many people. I said long ago that something would happen to him sooner or later!"
"..." The middle-aged man did not speak.
"A little guy who was quite capable of making money, it's a bit of a pity... But a branch manager isn't too significant of a loss to us. Let him die." The old man casually waved his hand, "By the way, who is Liang Tianyu's deputy in the South District branch?"
"It's Ren Xiao," the middle-aged man said.
"Ah, Little Xiao, she is capable enough, and her background is also..." The old man's tone became somewhat ambiguous here, glossing over it in a single sentence and not making it too clear: "Let her take Liang Tianyu's position."
"I'll issue the notice immediately," the middle-aged man nodded.
"Tell Ren Xiao that the first thing she needs to do after taking office is to dig out and kill the person who killed Liang Tianyu!" The old man's gaze was still extremely calm, but his words were exceptionally cold: "If she can't handle this matter, I'll remove her from her position at any time!"
"Yes!"
The old man stood up, looked at the increasingly strange world outside the window, and said in a deep voice: "I've been in the business world for fifty years, but I've never been able to step into the highest circle. It's not that my ability isn't enough, it's just that there's no opportunity! Now that the world has changed, it's the best opportunity for us. We must seize this opportunity and soar!"
For this old man, the life and death of a small Liang Tianyu was simply not worth his attention.
It was just that Liang Tianyu was always his subordinate, bearing his label.
Therefore, he couldn't ignore Liang Tianyu's death.
Otherwise, he would no longer be a suitable person in power!
He would not be worth following!
An hour later, a document was issued to the general manager's office of Tianrun Company in the South District.
With the arrival of this document, Tianrun Company officially changed hands.
...
Just when the entire Tianrun Company and even the South District were in turmoil, Li Tianran had already handled everything and driven back to the farm.
After killing Liang Tianyu, he found a personal cell phone on Liang Tianyu's body.
And through the information on the phone, he found the location where Uncle Nan was being held.
It has to be said that Liang Tianyu was indeed a born bastard, and he didn't completely trust even his own partners.
On the same day that Xiao Tian found him, Liang Tianyu secretly sent someone to Uncle Nan's house to arrest Uncle Nan, and he was secretly held in an uninhabited house in the suburbs.
And the guards at this location were also his confidants.
But just now, Li Tianran drove to the detention location, only to find that the people responsible for guarding Uncle Nan had already left.
It had been two hours since Liang Tianyu had an accident.
Perhaps because they heard the news of their boss's sudden death, Liang Tianyu's lackeys were terrified. They didn't know whether their boss died in an accident or due to the company's political struggle.
If it was the former, it would be fine, but if it was the latter, then they would be in danger...
After weighing the pros and cons, they were afraid of being purged, so they ran away, regardless of the hostages!
Li Tianran successfully rescued the imprisoned Uncle Nan from the house, but he seemed to have been knocked unconscious by some kind of drug and had not woken up yet.
Li Tianran parked the car at the entrance of the farm and glanced at Uncle Nan, who was lying unconscious in the back seat, and sighed slightly.
Although the whole thing had been dealt with, it was finally a near miss for him.
But Xiao Tian was really dead.
Although in a sense, Xiao Tian deserved it, but... for some reason, Li Tianran's mood was still a little heavy.
It wasn't because he sympathized with Uncle Nan and his son, but because he knew that from today onwards, he would no longer easily give his trust to anyone other than Hanhan.
Although the apocalypse had not brought any changes to his life, it had completely changed his heart.
From a young man who still believed in true feelings to a cold and resolute mature man!
"It hurts..." Just at this moment, Uncle Nan suddenly made a low groan.
Li Tianran raised his eyes to look over and gently shook Uncle Nan's shoulder: "Uncle Nan, wake up!"
Soon, Uncle Nan opened his eyes groggily, froze for a moment when he saw Li Tianran, rubbed his eyes hard, and asked stutteringly after confirming that he had not misread: "Little...Little Li, boss? Is it really you?"
"It's me." Li Tianran nodded.
"What's going on? I remember I was kidnapped before... and imprisoned in a small dark room." Uncle Nan covered his head, trying hard to remember.
Finally, he remembered everything, including Xiao Tian saying that he was going to sell Li Tianran.
Uncle Nan's body suddenly felt as if he had been splashed with cold water, stiffening in place.
"Little Li, boss, where is Xiao...Xiao Tian?" Uncle Nan swallowed and asked with red eyes.
He suddenly had a premonition that since Xiao Tian said he was going to sell Li Tianran and took action, but now Li Tianran was safe and sound, then Xiao Tian's end would naturally be...
He didn't dare to continue thinking about it, so he could only ask Li Tianran.
"Xiao Tian, he..." Li Tianran hesitated for a moment, but still decided to tell Uncle Nan everything that happened.
Five minutes later, after Li Tianran finished speaking, Uncle Nan was already in tears.
"He made a mistake, but he also tried his best to make up for it." Li Tianran looked at Uncle Nan and said, "I forgive him."
Uncle Nan was crying with tears streaming down his face: "But I can't forgive myself! Before all this, I originally had a chance to prevent these things from happening, but I didn't do anything because of my selfishness and greed. This is God's punishment for me!"
Li Tianran took a deep breath and said, "Everything has become a fixed number and cannot be changed."
"Yes, there is no regret medicine in the world." Uncle Nan looked up at Li Tianran and asked miserably, "Little Li, boss, what are you going to do with me?"
Li Tianran was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and then said, "Actually, when I was in the house, I thought about killing you to get it over with... but now I've changed my mind."
For a middle-aged single man, the only motivation to support him in surviving in the apocalypse was his son.
Now that even his son was gone, what was the use of money and wealth to this man?
His heart was dead.
And a person whose heart is dead will not betray others.
"Little Li, boss, I know you are kind-hearted..." Uncle Nan said with red eyes and a miserable smile: "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
At this moment, Hanhan was standing on the balcony on the second floor, looking at the entrance of the farm, blinking her eyes and using a watercolor pen to paint on the white paper in front of her.
While painting, she said, "Big brother is still the cleanest blue, and that Uncle Nan has turned into... a dead gray, the same color as his son was when he was in bed!"
