Chapter 1248 Seal

"Where are you?"

After the call connected, Pan Guangchen asked furiously.

"I don't even have a car, where else could I go? Of course, I'm at home."

Pan Hao still hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation, and didn't even notice his tone, still sulking about the Cullinan.

"Don't go anywhere, wait for me at home."

Pan Guangchen felt that this matter couldn't be explained clearly over the phone, so he hung up and hurried home.

He was powerless to stop the current situation with the company; he could only hope to find the cause as much as possible and solve the root of the problem.

Upon returning home, Chen Meiling and Pan Hao were both sitting on the sofa. Seeing him enter, Pan Hao asked with a sullen Face, "I say, what's wrong with you? Didn't you promise to buy me a car? Why haven't you delivered on it yet…"

In the past, no matter how much he threw a tantrum, Pan Guangchen would always speak kindly and eventually coax him until he was happy, but this time was different. Before he could finish speaking, a loud slap landed on his Face.

"Buy your sister!"

In extreme anger, Pan Guangchen slapped his son several times in a row. Pan Hao, completely unprepared, was utterly bewildered by the beating.

"Old Pan, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"

Chen Meiling, who always protected her son, immediately stepped forward, spreading her arms to shield him behind her.

"Get out of my way."

But today, Pan Guangchen seemed to have gone mad, showing no Face to anyone. He pushed her to the ground and furiously pointed at Pan Hao, asking, "Tell me, who exactly did you offend?"

Pan Hao saw his father lose his temper for the first time and was somewhat stunned. He touched his slapped cheek and said, "I… I didn't offend anyone."

Chen Meiling realized that something unusual was happening today. She got up from the ground and said, "Old Pan, what exactly is going on? What happened?"

"It's all because of this little beast. He must have offended some great Daoist, and now the company is being suppressed from all sides, on the verge of bankruptcy.

All our family assets are frozen. We can't even touch a single penny, do you understand? We have no money left…"

Pan Guangchen suppressed his anger and recounted the company's situation. Chen Meiling and Pan Hao listened, dumbfounded.

If there was one thing they feared most in this world, it was being without money. They were accustomed to a life of luxury and fine dining, and the consequences of being penniless were unimaginable.

It was precisely because of this that the two immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and reined in their usual arrogant tempers.

Chen Meiling swallowed and said, "Old Pan, is this related to our son? He's just a child. Did the company offend someone somewhere?"

"Child my ass! He's a damn 30-year-old man, how is he a child? When he's out drinking, fighting, and playing with women, why don't you say he's a child?"

Pan Guangchen raged, "I've already inquired. They said he provoked a big shot, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Old Pan, don't be angry. Since something happened, we'll figure it out slowly." After comforting her husband, Chen Meiling looked at Pan Hao, "Son, tell me quickly, who exactly did you offend?"

"I… I didn't."

Pan Hao was confused and genuinely couldn't think of any big shot he might have offended.

"Think again," Chen Meiling said. "Since they started suppressing our family company today, it should be a recent event. Think, in the last three days, especially yesterday, did you offend anyone?"

Pan Hao covered his head and thought seriously, "Yesterday, I went to a club with friends, found a few girls for a room, and then went drinking. I really didn't offend anyone."

Pan Guangchen suppressed the anger in his heart: "Think again. You must have offended some big shot without even realizing it. How many strangers did you interact with yesterday?"

"I really didn't interact with many strangers…"

Pan Hao thought through everything from beginning to end, finally remembering the BMW accident.

"Speaking of strangers, the most I encountered was during that accident. That old woman picking up trash definitely isn't it. Could it be that pretty boy who hit me?

But that's impossible. He's a pauper, not a rich person, and certainly not a big shot."

Pan Guangchen's expression changed: "Tell me again about the conflict last night, from beginning to end, the more detailed the better."

"It's just that I drank too much yesterday and pressed the brake and accelerator in reverse, and then…"

Pan Hao meticulously recounted the conflict from yesterday, from beginning to end, including how he managed to escape in the end.

"It must be him. This incident just happened last night, and today the company was sealed. It must be that person who did it."

Pan Guangchen, after all, was an experienced man and not as shallow as Pan Hao. He would never judge a person's identity or background based on their clothing.

"But he doesn't look like a rich person at all…"

"What do you know? Don't you know some people like to keep a low profile?"

Pan

Guangchen said, "Do you know who that person is? Is there a way to find him? It must be quick.

Only by gaining his forgiveness can the company have hope of surviving, otherwise our family will truly be completely finished."

"I… I don't know. I don't know him at all, and I don't know who he is…"

"Useless! What else can you do besides cause trouble?"

Pan Guangchen cursed him fiercely, then, disregarding everything else, desperately used his connections to search for Ye Bufan's whereabouts.

Normally, with his ability, finding someone wouldn't be difficult. But now the situation had changed. As the saying goes, good news doesn't leave the house, but bad news travels a thousand miles. The news of Guang'an Group being suppressed by a big shot had already spread.

When they saw his calls, some people directly rejected them, while others did answer, but they only offered polite platitudes. When it came to actual help, not one person stepped forward.

After a whole day of searching, Pan Guangchen still found no clues and no information about the other party.

Meanwhile, there was no turning point for the company either. On the contrary, the suppression from all sides became more and more frequent and intense.

He didn't go to bed all night, just sat alone on the sofa.

The next morning, when Chen Meiling and Pan Hao came out, they were startled. In just one night, Pan Guangchen's hair had turned completely white, and he looked as if he had aged ten years.

"Dad…"

Only at this moment did Pan Hao truly realize the seriousness of the problem.

"Old Pan, don't be too anxious. There will always be a way…"

Pan Guangchen's Face was filled with despair: "What way? Our Pan family is completely finished."

Chen Meiling was about to say something more when there was a hurried knock at the door. She went and opened it, and a team of uniformed people rushed in from outside: tax officials, industrial and commercial officials, and people from the Police Station.

"Are you Pan Guangchen? Your company is suspected of tax evasion, with an exceptionally large amount. Please come with us."

Two police officers handcuffed Pan Guangchen without a word and led him out.

"Wait a minute, by what right are you arresting people…"

Chen Meiling tried to stop them but was pushed back.

Two staff members in bank uniforms stepped forward and said, "Guang'an Group is now sealed, insolvent, and owes bank loans. All your family's property is now seized.

You must leave immediately and are not allowed to take any valuables with you."
