Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Saving Lives through Translation_1

The person in front of him was around thirty years old, dressed appropriately, and exuded an air of bookishness as if he were a secretary or something of the sort.

”What exactly is going on? Explain it to me clearly! Why are you looking for a translator when there’s a life at stake?!”

Chen Ming furrowed his brows, pressing for answers repeatedly.

Human life is paramount, especially inside Mingzhu Tower, and Chen Ming naturally took it seriously.

Seeing that he was being questioned by Chen Ming, the man became both anxious and angry.

”Who are you, from the hotel? Then go find me a translator right away, if not, get lost! Lives are at stake!”

The man screamed at Chen Ming, raising his voice.

A chill flashed in Chen Ming’s eyes.

In Mingzhu Tower, no one had ever dared to speak to him like that.

Just as he was about to blow up in anger, Bai Xiaosheng quickly stepped in to separate the two.

”This is Mr. Chen Ming, the general manager of Mingzhu Tower! Brother, don’t be so anxious, you need a translator, right? I am it! Come on, lead us inside to have a look!” Bai Xiaosheng said.

Mingzhu Tower, in Tiannan, is a landmark building, and Chen Ming is definitely a high-profile figure.

Upon hearing this name, the man was also startled.

Overcome by his anxiousness just now, he hadn’t taken a clear look, but now seeing more closely, it was indeed Chen Ming who frequently appeared in the media, with his distinctive ”granny grey” hair contrasting with a face that looked particularly young.

”I apologize, I was too anxious earlier and did not recognize Mr. Chen.” Though saying this, there wasn’t the slightest hint of panic on the man’s face, just urgency, ”My name is Zhao Cheng, you can call me Cheng, and I really need a translator, a German translator!”

Knowing he was facing Chen Ming, he still remained calm.

This man’s identity was no simple matter!

”Cheng, what’s the situation inside?”

What Bai Xiaosheng could discern, Chen Ming had certainly noticed. At the moment, he was eager to find out what had happened and did not care about these details.

”Do you speak German?”

Cheng turned to ask Bai Xiaosheng, hoping yet fearing that Bai Xiaosheng would shake his head.

”I do!” Bai Xiaosheng nodded decisively.

”Then follow me quickly!” Cheng took the lead, running towards the private room.

Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Ming exchanged a glance, then swiftly followed, with Zhengdong Province trailing behind them.

The private room they entered was half the size of Qingyun Pavilion, but Bai Xiaosheng immediately noticed that this room was likely the real deal for aristocrats.

The several crystal chandeliers hanging overhead, Bai Xiaosheng had Red Lotus search it up, were worth around a million each, just these few lights alone amounted to tens of millions – truly extravagant!

The calligraphy and paintings on the walls, as well as the exquisitely crafted furniture filling the room, were also likely very valuable.

The world of the wealthy!

While reflecting, Bai Xiaosheng noticed that a banquet was being laid out in the private room, with waves of delicious food aromas tantalizing the senses, and the scent of wine filled the air.

However, the dining table was empty, with everyone gathered in the lounge area, surrounding a massive sofa.

Looking over, there were about a dozen men and women.

In the crowd, a woman’s voice could be heard, loud and quarrelsome, speaking rapidly and with agitated emotion, but it was clearly not Mandarin.

German, perhaps?

A thought crossed Bai Xiaosheng’s mind.

”Host’s need detected, activating the second auxiliary function—language conversion.”

”Language detected, German, Bavarian dialect...”

As Red Lotus’s voice reached him, the German Bai Xiaosheng was hearing instantly transformed into pure Mandarin.

”You, get away from me, I don’t trust you! If you come any closer, don’t blame me for being rude! I’m a former member of GSG-9, I could take you down with my bare hands!” a fierce female voice.

GSG-9, Germany’s ninth border guard, is one of the world’s most famous special forces.

Bai Xiaosheng was startled too.

In the famous first-person shooter game, CS, which he played, the police characters were modeled after GSG-9.

Now, he was seeing a real one, and a woman at that!

Bai Xiaosheng was quite curious.

”Bai, do you really understand German?” Chen Ming pulled Bai Xiaosheng aside and asked softly.

He worried that Bai Xiaosheng was only trying to pacify Cheng by going in to see what was happening.

”I truly understand German.” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

Chen Ming felt a bit surprised, but also very pleased.

”Make way, make way, the translator is here!” Cheng hurried over, shouting.

The people crowding around quickly stepped aside, looking over curiously.

Bai Xiaosheng quickened his pace, only to find that the doctor had already arrived but looked helpless to push through.

A woman with golden hair, brown eyes, and delicate cheeks was blocking the way, looking highly alert. Her figure was perfect, and she exuded a powerful aura.

She was like a fierce little leopardess, coiled and ready to spring into attack at any moment.

”Doctor Zhao, what’s going on here?”

Chen Ming saw the doctor, who was the on-call physician at Mingzhu Tower.

Behind that foreign woman, there was someone lying down.

”It was they who called for a doctor. I want to examine the patient, but this woman...” Doctor Zhao spread his hands with a sense of helplessness.

”I suspect someone has poisoned the food to harm Mr. Lu! This person has nefarious intentions!”

The woman, sensing that Chen Ming was the person in charge, shouted harshly.

Unfortunately, Chen Ming couldn’t understand her.

”Your suspicion is useless. Because of your suspicion, you prevent the doctor from getting close. What if the patient’s life is endangered?” Bai Xiaosheng stepped forward and questioned sharply.

His authentic and fluent German made the people around them light up.

Zhengdong Province looked on, eyes wide with disbelief, at Bai.

The woman was startled, then delighted.

”You speak German?”

”Does it sound like I’m speaking French?”

Bai Xiaosheng joked, nodding towards the person behind her with a serious face, ”Are you sure you’re protecting him and not trying to kill him?”

”What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I harm my own employer!” The woman snapped back.

”By blocking the doctor, you clearly want him to die. I am very suspicious that it was you who poisoned him,” Bai Xiaosheng pointed directly at the woman.

Her face changed, she became full of rage and made a move to pounce towards Bai Xiaosheng.

”What grounds do you have to suspect a doctor? If you can’t give a reason, it shows that you are the one who’s guilty.” Bai Xiaosheng said calmly.

Even if this woman didn’t understand Chinese, surely she ought to recognize the symbols on the doctor’s clothing and on the medical kit, right? How could there still be a misunderstanding.

Bai Xiaosheng was also puzzled.

”I saw him take out a lot of needles...” the woman glared fiercely at Doctor Zhao.

Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback for a moment and turned to Doctor Zhao, asking in Chinese, ”Are you a practitioner of Chinese medicine?”

”I am well versed in all types, but I am most proficient in Chinese medicine,” Doctor Zhao answered.

Understood! This woman had mistaken acupuncture needles for weapons.

Bai Xiaosheng explained to the woman, feeling both exasperated and amused.

Still unconvinced, the woman held onto the typical German stubbornness.

Bai Xiaosheng had to negotiate, allowing the doctor to use only the stethoscope and blood pressure monitor for the exam.

This time, the woman agreed.

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help wiping off a sweat.

Cultural differences truly could be fatal.

Despite the rapid spread of Chinese medicine in recent years, there were still many foreigners who did not accept or understand it.

Chen Ming watched as Bai Xiaosheng sorted things out with the woman, resolving the issue, and he was extremely joyful, giving Bai Xiaosheng a thumbs up.

Doctor Zhao was about to step forward.

Suddenly, a voice screamed.

”Lola, stop him!”
