Eric nodded and immediately turned to face the guests.

At this moment, the guests were still in a state of panic and unsettled.

However, security guards have already come in to maintain order and are trying their best to calm everyone down.

Eric spoke directly, saying, "I'm so sorry that the unexpected incident tonight has startled you all."

I just finished talking to my in-laws and learned the whole story, that's how it happened!

He paused, then continued, "Just now, my men took immediate emergency measures to cordon off the scene to prevent the situation from escalating further."

Taking advantage of the moment the lights went out, the murderer actually killed me, his nominal grandson, Zhou Si.

We don't know who did it yet, so we'll have to ask you all to stay here for a while.

After all, later on, when the police arrive, everyone will inevitably need to cooperate with the investigation in order to find out the truth as soon as possible.

However, the guests seemed quite dissatisfied with this.

They all said, "Why should we stay here? In that chaotic situation, the murderer was able to commit the crime. What if he attacked us too?"

"Yes! Can you guarantee our safety? If not, we'll leave now!"

"That's terrifying. They can hit bullets accurately even in the dark. The emergency lights are on now. Who knows if we'll be next?"

"No, we can't stay here. We can't risk our lives."

With everyone chiming in, the atmosphere suddenly became tense again.

At this point, a guest chimed in, saying, "I think you might be overthinking it."

Perhaps their real target is this young master of Lantes?

Think about it, this young master, although he is young, is exceptionally ruthless and decisive in his actions.

The fact that he was able to create such a large company in such a short time demonstrates that his methods and abilities are extraordinary.

As everyone knows, in the struggles of the business world, it's inevitable to offend some people.

However, we have no idea how many people he offended in private.

Perhaps this incident is an opportunity for someone to seek revenge.

"What you said makes sense."

Someone chimed in, "Otherwise, why would so many people refrain from attacking him, and only target him? This was clearly premeditated."

"I heard that since he returned to Lantes, the whole company has been in chaos and there has been no peace. He has replaced a whole batch of senior management personnel."

Even his half-brother has disappeared; he might have already met with some misfortune. He was the one who did it.

"So, in that case, the killer really was after him?"

After being guided in this way, the people present became suspicious and began to re-examine Zhou Si.

Some even began to believe that this sudden turn of events was a revenge plot.

Eric was very satisfied after seeing it.

This was exactly what he wanted to achieve.

But he didn't show it on his face; instead, he pretended to be sad and regretful.

He spoke slowly, his tone heavy, "Gentlemen, Zhou Si is gone. There's no point in discussing this anymore."

Regardless of whether he made too many enemies and brought about this misfortune, the dead should be respected, and he should be given the most basic respect.

Of course, the murderer still needs to be found.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, and continued, "As for you all... rest assured, with so many eyes watching, the other side will probably not dare to make a move easily again."

The guests agreed.

And so, they stared at each other as if under a searchlight...

In this subtle and tense atmosphere, Eric gave a smug smile.

He continued, feigning grief, "As 'family,' I, the son-in-law and in-law, have lost my beloved son and grandson. At this moment, I am too heartbroken to speak."

So, before the police arrived, I announced something on their behalf: the future development plans for Lantes.

Next, Lantes will merge with the Loo Group, and the original person in charge will change from Zhou Si to the original heir, William.

As for David, he will continue to assist Lants in returning to its original position as chairman!

That's a nice way to put it, but David didn't understand.

His so-called chairmanship is probably just a nominal title, without any real power or influence.

The Bond family has clearly laid out a plan to completely annex Lantes and bring it under their sphere of influence.

Faced with this situation, the old man felt extremely angry and helpless, his chest aching with rage, yet he was powerless to change the status quo.

Now, not only is his life in someone else's hands, but his wealth is also in grave danger.

Ah Si was his most beloved grandson, so why did he have to die?

If Ah Si were still alive, perhaps things would be different.

But now, it's all too late to turn back.

The old man was overcome with grief and couldn't help but think: Was it because I was too lenient with the younger generation when I was young, letting them run wild without any restraint?

So this is why he suffered such retribution?

To make this elderly man bear such a heavy blow!

The tragedy of an elderly person outliving their child, and the loss of a family's century-old wealth, is a stark reminder of the tragedy.

The guests were no longer surprised by Eric's words.

After all, there were rumors from the beginning, plus the shock of people dying.

The news wasn't actually that explosive.

However, some of the quick-thinking guests present had a vague feeling that something seemed amiss.

No matter how much David and the old man were affected, it's impossible that they couldn't even speak a word properly.

Why should an outsider interfere in such an important matter as announcing the person in charge?

Moreover, after the incident, the two of them remained in that standing position without moving.

This posture is clearly not quite right.

For some reason, I always felt that the expressions on their faces didn't seem like the sadness of losing a son and grandson, but rather more like anger, dejection, and resentment.

Before the guests could even process what was happening, the first to be completely bewildered were all the Lantes' clansmen and shareholders.

The shareholders looked bewildered and questioned, "What nonsense are you talking about? How did Lants change hands to William? Did you consult us shareholders beforehand?"

The reason they support Zhou Si is because of his abilities and powerful network of connections. Can William replace him?

Even though the person is gone, it's wrong to change the person in power so hastily!

This decision is hard to accept.
