Chapter 310 Bankruptcy
Seeing this, Jiang Ran's face turned cold as she looked down at her with disdain and contempt in her eyes. She then sneered, "You brainless idiot!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
An Li stared intently at Jiang Ran's departing figure, her face ashen, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms, yet she could not conceal the humiliation and anger in her heart at this moment. She wished she could grind Jiang Ran to dust to vent her hatred!
On the other side, Si Yanxiao listened to the news from the bodyguard with a gloomy expression. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he tapped the table lightly with his fingers. He asked in a cold voice, "Didn't she say anything?"
"Yes." The bodyguard bowed slightly and replied in a deep voice, "After Madam returned, she dismissed us and did not say what would happen to the An family."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's eyes suddenly turned cold, his lips pursed slightly, and he said in a cold voice, "Fine, I understand."
Seeing that Si Yanxiao had no further instructions, the bodyguard responded in a low voice and turned to leave.
Just as he left, Gu Nan approached him. He quickly stopped and respectfully greeted her, "Assistant Gu."
Gu Nan nodded slightly and pushed the door open to enter.
Seeing Si Yanxiao's displeasure, he already had a plan in mind. He raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise, "You found out?" "Yes," Si Yanxiao replied in a deep voice, unconsciously rubbing his fingers, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Before Gu Nan could ask, he coldly ordered, "Issue an ultimatum to all companies that cooperate with the An Group. Anyone who continues to cooperate with the An Group is making an enemy of the Si family."
"There are also overseas groups secretly funding him, so A-Yu can directly suppress him. I don't want to hear any more news about the An Group!"
Although his tone was indifferent, his words were full of coldness, implying that he wanted the An Group to go bankrupt.
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan instantly realized that An Li was involved in the matter. She curled her lips into a sneer and sneered, "What a pity... a century-old company has been ruined in her hands. I wonder what her life will be like from now on?"
It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality, but easy to go from frugality to extravagance. Now she has completely become a sinner to her family, and the entire group and the An family will be implicated. She will have no way out in the future.
Upon hearing his lament, Si Yanxiao immediately cast a cold glance at him, his gaze sharp as a glint of cold light.
Gu Nan noticed his gaze and immediately gestured for him to shut up.
Si Yanxiao's expression turned cold, and he asked in a deep voice, "What? Feeling sorry for me?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan quickly distanced herself from the situation and exclaimed in surprise, "How is that possible?"
"That kind of woman has a heart of stone, can't judge people, and is stupid without realizing it. Would I feel sorry for her?"
Having said that, fearing that any words might upset the gloomy Si Yanxiao, he quickly made an excuse to go take care of something and turned to leave.
Si Yanxiao lowered his gaze to the window, a cold glint flashing across his face. He parted his thin lips and murmured, "A century-old enterprise? Ha..."
Three days later, the news that An's Group had declared bankruptcy overnight instantly became headline news in major business circles, and its popularity remained high for a long time.
Everyone wondered what could have happened to cause such a massive company to collapse so suddenly.
Some people who saw through the situation vaguely realized that it might be related to the suppression by the Si Group some time ago, but no one dared to reveal the news.
To outsiders, the rapid bankruptcy of the An Group seemed like a temporary event, but no one knew the immense pressure An Mingcheng had endured in those short three days.
As before, all major partners quickly proposed to terminate the contracts, and some even went so far as to breach the contracts and offer compensation. This happened one after another without exception.
No matter how much he pleaded, there was no room for negotiation.
Even the overseas investor suddenly announced that he was on the verge of bankruptcy. He held on for three days and finally saw the situation clearly.
The person behind this probably wanted this outcome; any further futile struggles would be pointless in the face of such an overwhelming difference in strength.
After the official bankruptcy announcement, many people sighed, lamenting that even a century-old enterprise is nothing more than this. They recalled how the An Group had once been a force to be reckoned with, even daring to challenge the Si Group, but now it seemed utterly insignificant…
When Jiang Ran learned of this news, it was the butler who specifically mentioned it. Si Zuochen and Si Youlin, who were standing nearby, were initially surprised, but then instantly understood.
With a disdainful look, he coldly scoffed, "Serves you right!"
An Li's behavior was already extremely despicable to them, and the An family did not teach her anything. Birds of a feather flock together, so what kind of good person could she be?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran remained calm and showed no surprise, clearly indicating that this outcome was within her expectations.
He then responded in a low voice, and after the butler left, Si Youlin couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Don't you think this is very sudden?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran slowly shook her head. The two of them had kept Si Yanxiao's injury a secret from others, so they didn't know the reason for the sudden targeting of An Li.
Jiang Ran didn't say it outright, but she had something on her mind.
The bodyguard she was with was one of Si Yanxiao's men, and he would definitely report her every move, which would save her a lot of trouble.
Si Yanxiao is vengeful, and the An family's bankruptcy was inevitable. It's just unexpected that even the group that funded them would be implicated...
At the same time, Anli was also condemned by her whole family, and only then did she realize how ridiculous her previously proud behavior was.
Originally, Si Yanxiao hadn't completely wiped them out, leaving them some room to maneuver, but now he's showing absolutely no mercy.
After this incident, the An family went bankrupt, and An Li could no longer stir up any trouble. In high society, people would only scoff and condemn her for trying to fight a losing battle and overestimating her own abilities.
Jiang Ran knew very well that An Li was just a trigger, and the real manipulator was still watching this farce from behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran went to find Si Yanxiao to discuss it together.
Si Yanxiao was handling official business in his study when he heard a sudden knock on the door. He was flipping through documents when he said in a deep voice, "Come in!"
Jiang Ran pushed open the door and entered. Si Yanxiao didn't even look up, and asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"
"I'd like to discuss the matter of Gu poison with you," Jiang Ran replied slowly.
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao paused in his actions, looked up, and saw that it was Jiang Ran. A look of surprise flashed across his face, and he quickly said, "Sit down and talk."
Jiang Ran nodded slightly and did not refuse. As soon as she sat down, she heard Si Yanxiao ask in surprise, "Gu poison? What do you mean?"
"Your sudden fainting spell was caused by evil magic and poison. This kind of poison originated in the Western Regions, and it's likely closely related to the person behind it all..."
Then, Jiang Ran recounted the entire backstory of the Gu poison and the evil magic, as well as the numbing effect of the poison on the nerves.
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's expression suddenly darkened, his brows furrowed, and he coldly rebuked, "You're courting death!"
"I was lucky to escape this time. If it really happened to you, wouldn't we be helpless?"
Although Gu Nan didn't mention anything else, it made it clear that An Li wanted to deal with Jiang Ran, and he was just implicated.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran was taken aback. She hadn't expected that his first thought at this moment would be her safety, and a wave of emotion washed over her.
Then, his expression turned slightly somber, and he replied in a low voice with a hint of helplessness, "So everything has a cause and effect. By a twist of fate, I was saved in an unknowing way."
After saying that, Fu spoke again in a deep voice: "The most important thing now is to find that person. Otherwise, the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. If there is a next time, we may not be so lucky."
"Hmm." Si Yanxiao's eyes narrowed, and he replied softly, "I will send someone to investigate this matter and handle it myself."
"Okay," Jiang Ran replied softly.
After the two reached an agreement, they chatted casually about the whereabouts of the An Group for a few more minutes before Jiang Ran turned and left.
Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes and stared blankly at her departing figure, his lips slightly pursed, a thoughtful look flashing across his face.
He suddenly found himself feeling inexplicably awkward when facing Jiang Ran, a feeling he had never experienced before in his life.
Even when discussing cases worth hundreds of millions, he can remain calm and composed, but when it's her in front of him, he panics for a moment.
Si Yanxiao's gaze darkened slightly, and he suddenly reached out and covered his chest, his expression unreadable.
The news quickly reached Jiang Yuechen's ears. Upon receiving the information, Jiang Yuechen went directly to Jiang Ran's house. When the butler saw the visitor, he greeted him respectfully in a low voice, "Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Yuechen nodded slightly, then asked in a low voice, "Where is Aran?"
