Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 332: Chapter 332 Action Begins_1

Some women can outdrink men.

Bai Ran was one of them.

A whole bottle of white liquor would normally knock a man out, but Bai Ran was unaffected; she stayed completely sober!

The reason she pretended to be drunk was to look for an opportunity to escape.

Unfortunately, with several men always in the private room, she never found the chance.

Her complete anger and disappointment with Bai Shuanglei solidified. This man had completely erased his conscience and basic morals, even helping outsiders to ”kidnap” her. Bai Ran had decided she would no longer bother with Bai Shuanglei’s affairs!

Whether he lived or died, Bai Ran had done all she could, and from now on, they would be strangers to each other!

At the moment, her only thought was to escape!

Her cousin—Bai Fei—had managed to attend the banquet alone to negotiate with these people for her, which surprised but also moved Bai Ran.

Bai Fei was first her idol, but then his image was shattered due to family matters.

Yet now, he had once again made Bai Ran feel the warmth of kinship.

Bai Ran was happy that Bai Fei had escaped.

But she was curious about who had helped Bai Fei make his escape.

Listening to those people talk and hearing Lei Ying and Cheng Xiaosi’s descriptions, the image formed in Bai Ran’s mind was unexpectedly that of Bai Xiaosheng.

”How is that possible! My cousin is quick-witted and articulate. But he’s so frail, how could he possibly defeat these fierce and vicious men?”

Bai Ran dismissed the thought from her mind, concentrating instead on how to escape.

Now, with only two people in the private room, the chance to escape was greater, but the door was locked, and she had indeed drunk a bottle of white liquor, which would probably make her less agile.

Run out and cry for help?

Hao and his men could easily drag her back, reeking of alcohol, and claim she was having a drunken fit!

This wouldn’t work!

It might also provoke Hao and his men, who were capable of anything!

Bai Ran was extremely cautious.

As she pondered a more reliable plan, she overheard a secret.

A secret about Lei Ying, the most capable fighter of them all!

It turned out Hao had deceived him!

This was definitely valuable information!

Bai Ran felt excited.

However, would Lei Ying believe it just based on her word? What if he didn’t, what then...

After her excitement, Bai Ran calmed down again.

She still didn’t dare to act rashly, still considering a more secure method.

...

When Lei Ying led people out of the private room, Bai Xiaosheng and Yang Qian’er hurried into a shop next to Ju Feng Garden with few customers and sat down by the window.

With make-up and preparation included, rushing over took them less than ten minutes, an impressively quick sequence of actions.

Lei Ying’s mobility was impaired by his injury, and on their way back, they moved slowly. Upon reaching the first floor of Ju Feng Garden, Cheng Xiaosi even fell into his seat, clutching his stomach and grimacing in pain for quite some time.

After going upstairs, Lei Ying had another conversation and explanation with Hao, and when all those snippets of time were added up, it was nowhere near as quick as Bai Xiaosheng and his group.

Bai Fei didn’t follow Bai Xiaosheng and the others; he had a different task to complete.

”Why aren’t we taking action yet?”

Yang Qian’er, in her changed attire, couldn’t contain her excitement again.

She found the whole affair incredibly thrilling, like being a secret agent in a movie.

”What’s the rush?” Bai Xiaosheng drawled, and suddenly knocked the menu to the floor, bending over but not picking it up immediately.

As Yang Qian’er looked on in surprise, she saw that brawny man named Lei Ying, leading a few people in a hurried walk past the window.

During this, Lei Ying’s gaze swept over Yang Qian’er.

Yang Qian’er was startled, but thanks to her years as a journalist, she showed no fear and indifferently glanced back at him.

Only after they had passed did Yang Qian’er allow herself to pat her chest.

”What are you afraid of? With the makeup I’ve applied, even your own mom wouldn’t recognize how pretty her daughter’s become!” Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but joke.

”Go to hell!” Yang Qian’er hissed in a lowered voice.

Bai Xiaosheng stroked his chin, watching her with interest, ”That act just now, with your snobbish little look, was pretty good. I’ve discovered you’re actually quite alert and have a real talent for performing!”

Yang Qian’er rolled her eyes at him.

But she felt a bit proud being praised.

Bai Xiaosheng’s expression turned serious as he looked at her and smiled, ”That Lei Ying is no simple character. I had two plans depending on whether he stayed in the restaurant or not. If he didn’t come out, I’d have to find a way to get him out. Now it’s easier for us. Bai Fei said that group has six people; four have left. Inside, there are probably just that Hao guy and the man named Cheng Xiaosi who I fought with.”

”This time, Lady Luck is on our side!”

Bai Xiaosheng stood up and flashed a snow-white smile at Yang Qian’er, ”Let’s go, it’s your turn to take the stage!”

Bai Xiaosheng and Yang Qian’er left the restaurant.

As they went out the door, Bai Xiaosheng saw Lei Ying and his group’s retreating figures. He gestured with his hand and a rather large bird flew down from the overhead corridor railing. Bai Xiaosheng emitted a series of low bird calls, and the bird, cocking its head, turned towards the direction of Lei Ying’s group.

It took off, flapping its wings.

”You still have time for fun,” Yang Qian’er said, half irritated, half amused.

She’d seen Bai Xiaosheng toy with wild sparrows and was curious, though she didn’t pay it much mind.

”I’m not just playing, I’m helping Bai Fei... never mind, it’s too complicated to explain, it’s nothing...” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

Yang Qian’er glared at him, ready to get angry.

”Come on, I must hurry and explain the plan to you!”

Bai Xiaosheng leaned in and whispered in Yang Qian’er’s ear.

Yang Qian’er looked shock, then her eyes brightened and she nodded repeatedly.

”Got it?” Bai Xiaosheng asked with a smile, ”Put on a good show later. If you mess up, I’ll have to go all out in a fight. My arms are sore, my legs are weak, and my whole body aches—I’m no match for them in a direct fight.”

”Don’t worry. If I don’t act, it’s because I don’t need to. But when I do, I’m the best leading lady!” Yang Qian’er declared proudly.

”Then let’s go, best leading lady,” Bai Xiaosheng said as he gestured for her to proceed.

Yang Qian’er smiled and confidently took the lead.

Meanwhile, Lei Ying and his men had already started to make inquiries in each establishment.

The characteristics of Bai Xiaosheng’s group were quite distinct: two men and one woman.

Despite it being mealtime, the fourth and fifth floors were upscale dining areas that weren’t overly crowded, making it relatively easy to gather information.

As Lei Ying and his men were making inquiries from place to place, Bai Fei was seated in a restaurant a few doors down from Dingxiang Building, also by a window, keeping an eye on the situation over there.

Though his gaze held traces of fear, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

His mission was to keep an eye on these people and, if necessary, even reveal himself to stall them, ensuring the rescue operation Bai Xiaosheng was orchestrating went smoothly!

Bai Xiaosheng had also promised to arrange external support for him.

But where was it?

Bai Fei scanned around, but couldn’t spot any trace of the supposed backup.

No matter!

I alone must hold these people off!

Bai Fei steeled himself with determination and inwardly swore.
