To Love You Again

Chapter 657 - Not be over soon

Guan Gao Huan was filled with rage and a nervous sense of urgency. His face turned deathly pale.

If his father came to learn of this, then everything he worked so hard for would really disappear!

He had to fix this.

Fix this immediately!

Guan Gao Huan was about to leave when a strong hand suddenly took hold of his arm.

"Third brother, do you know what is the meaning of this?"

Guan Gao Huan's head whipped towards the speaker.

Guan Gu Ri looked at Guan Gao Huan worriedly.

This news was obviously premeditated. Although he was dubious about his third brother's actions and behavior, he never doubted for once that Guan Gao Huan was not his brother.

At first, with Guan Xixin's constant avowal that his third brother was fake, he also had suspicions. But over time, with proofs and blood tests, he accepted his third brother had just changed so much that they could not find the past in him anymore.

Guan Gao Huan scowled. He was not in the mood to care about his image right now. He only thought about his master and of the terrible consequences of seeing this. He could not care less with the people here. He would take care of them later.

If Ming Zhi Yi found out that his real identity was leaked all over the news just prior to the crucial time of his plan, his master would undoubtedly be extremely merciless and destroy everything he owned.

Not just his current identity as Guan Gao Huan, but the hard work he had built and even his loyal subordinates.... They might all be crushed or killed.

Gunan would be left with nothing.

His eyes darkened dangerously, and Guan Gao Huan flung his arm away.

"I don't know. Someone who wanted my position must have done this to me. Brother Xixin is not here. He always spread rumors about me being a fake. He must have done this to destroy me."

"...." Guan Gu Ri was speechless as he looked at his third brother's leaving back.

It was only a brief moment, but he could sense anxiety and panic in his third brother's eyes.

Guan Gu Ri wondered.

If this news had not had any truth in it, why was there the need to act like you had lost something?

Guan Gu Ri's sixth sense was telling him that there was more than what meets the eyes.

He shook his head to shake off his thoughts.

Perhaps, his third brother Gao Huan was hit too hard by this news and thought that their second brother Xixin had done this...

However, Guan Gu Ri could not chase after and comfort Guan Gao Huan right now. As the headmaster of the Guan family, he needed to pacify the people inside the room first so that they could function properly.

Taking a deep breath, Guan Gu Ri turned to the head butler.

"This news will cause a huge blow on the Guan Empire's stock price. Make sure that it won't spread more than it already has. Give an official statement. No matter what, before we knew the details of this fake news, we need to defend my third brother, the current Chairman. We need to act immediately."

The head butler bowed. "Yes, Headmaster."

"And also, find out where Xixin is."

Although he did not want to believe this, Guan Gu Ri felt that Xixin had a hand in this.

"Find out everything you can regarding this fake news, and whoever sent this to the media. Send the report to me within half an hour. I want to know everything in it."

"Yes, Headmaster."

The head butler retreated for a moment to send out instructions.

Guan Gu Ri turned his head and looked at the people who were left dumbfounded, worried, or disbelieving in the conference room.

The bomb that was causally thrown out in the national news made these old people unable to make heads or tails of what actions to do at the moment, especially when the media was being stubborn.

"Everyone, please calm down. The Guan Empire will make sure that this will be handled as soon as possible. Whoever spread this will soon know the consequences of offending the Guan Empire. For now, all of you should return to your posts."

The people inside were finally awakened.

Then they noticed that the person who should have been the pillar of the Guan Empire was gone.

"Where is the chairman? This matter is solely related to him! He needs to stay here and solve this matter. Why did he leave?"

"Is he scared? If our leader is like this, we should change our leader to someone who will not abandon the Guan Empire when something like this happens!"

The elders who were unsatisfied with the result of the sucession trial were the first to question Guan Gao Huan's credibility.

It was only the first day yet the chairman was already being emotional, leaving them to handle the matter?

Guan Gao Huan's supporters could not stand the other faction criticizing their boss. When the matter of changing the chairman was put on the table, they became aggressive too.

"This is not Chairman's fault! It is the fault of whoever wants to harm the chairman and the Guan Empire."

"We will handle this so you should stay put and not create chaos, you old fools!"

The room was split into two opposing sides and people started to argue.

Guan Gu Ri felt his head ache. His face turned dark as he watched the chaos with cold eyes.

"Silence!"

Guan Gu Ri's cold command was infused with qi and reverberated loudly in everyone's ears.

Everyone stopped.

The new headmaster looked at the elders in his faction who started this fight.

"My brother is currently investigating this matter right now. Like everyone of you, he must be in a tight position. He is only appointed today and have not gotten used to handling things using the Empire's influence and resources. I'll talk to him and help him out."

Guan Gu Ri did not know the reason why his third brother left the room. He might have wanted to solve it on his own. If it really was the reason, then it was a wrong move, but it was understandable since Guan Gao Huan had just been appointed today and was still used to doing things in his own way.

"So don't worry about it. My butler will contact you regarding the things that you need to do. Return to your posts. We can only do things with calm hearts and rational minds. I expect everyone's cooperation."

While listening to his voice, the elders and the board of directors inside the conference room finally calmed down.

The headmaster was right.

However, unlike what they had thought, this matter would not be over so soon.
