Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 821: 821

Zhongjing Airport, VIP room in the departure hall.

Bai Xiaosheng and his party filed in.

With over an hour left before boarding, Bai Xiaosheng decided to eat something and rest a bit here first.

”Please have a seat,” Bai Xiaosheng stood firm, gestured for Mr. Jiuzheng, who was behind him, to take a seat, then sat down opposite him.

Chen Jiuzheng’s face was overcast as he glanced coldly at Bai Xiaosheng and walked toward the seat.

The three Affairs Assistants took their seats respectively.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying had gone to buy food and had not yet returned.

After sitting down, Chen Jiuzheng pulled out his phone, and realizing Bai Xiaosheng was looking his way, immediately shook the phone and sneered, ”Affairs Officer Bai, why are you looking at me like that? Are you suggesting I can’t use my phone?”

”As you wish,” Bai Xiaosheng shrugged and said with a light smile.

Chen Jiuzheng deliberately held up his phone high, tapping away as if he was sending a message, as if he was contacting his elder brother, Chen Jiutian.

In fact, even if he were truly contacting Chen Jiutian, he wouldn’t do it now, and definitely not in front of Bai Xiaosheng!

Bai Xiaosheng simply smiled indifferently.

A notification sound went off, and Bai Xiaosheng also took out his phone to glance at it.

The last of the dispatched Affairs Assistants had sent a message: Evidence secured!

Before leaving the Chen Family, not everything Bai Xiaosheng said was the whole truth.

Now, all the investigations had ended, all the evidence verified, and sent back to headquarters.

Whether the Affairs Assistants returned or not was now irrelevant, as all materials were complete!

With these alone, Chen Jiuzheng was utterly finished.

His position was bound to be utterly stripped.

Those involved, like Chen Changluo and others with especially grave involvements, would also be dismissed from their duties and handed over to judicial authorities!

Thinking of such a huge pest about to be eliminated, Bai Xiaosheng felt a surge of satisfaction.

The corporation was his, and he absolutely wouldn’t allow such miscreants to exist!

In Bai Xiaosheng’s mind at that moment, the voice of Red Lotus also rang out.

”For completing the thorough investigation of Anjiang Province’s regional industry head, Chen Jiuzheng, and cutting off corrupt and rotten senior management from the corporation, reward points, fifteen points!”

”In the Affairs Officer stage, all earned points are increased by twenty percent, and additional bonus points of three are awarded.”

”Currently, the total score for the Affairs Officer rank is eighteen points, eighty-two points away from the rank of Senior Affairs Officer!”

To gain eighteen points in one go, nearly a fifth of the way there!

Although Bai Xiaosheng still felt it was a bit too little, considering he had taken down a provincial industry head.

Having received the points, Bai Xiaosheng was naturally in a good mood.

”I wonder how many points a regional head will net me,” Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself, and flashed a smile at Chen Jiuzheng across from him.

Chen Jiuzheng, still pretending to fiddle with his phone, watched Bai Xiaosheng warily and suddenly caught sight of Bai Xiaosheng’s inexplicably strange smile, complete with a mouthful of shiny white teeth, giving him a sudden spine-chilling feeling, making his eyes grow more vigilant, as if thinking, ”I just knew you were spying on me, I knew you were up to no good.”

Bai Xiaosheng was blissfully unaware of the immense psychological torment he had inflicted on the man.

After putting away his phone, he glanced at Chen Jiuzheng and said with a smile, ”Mr. Jiuzheng, could you please call Mr. Jiutian for me? I’d like to speak with him.”

”Why should you use my phone and not your own?” Chen Jiuzheng frowned instantly, his eyes becoming cautious.

”To save money,” Bai Xiaosheng said earnestly, offering a rather absurd and speechless reason.

Chen Jiuzheng really didn’t want to deal with Bai Xiaosheng.

But then, a thought struck him.

It would actually be good for Bai Xiaosheng to use his phone for this call; it would let his brother, Chen Jiutian, know that Bai Xiaosheng had arrived!

And that he was with him!

The change in Chen Jiuzheng’s expression did not escape Bai Xiaosheng, who couldn’t help but smile.

Chen Jiuzheng’s innermost thoughts, translated by the Micro Expression Analysis System, were already presented in Bai Xiaosheng’s mind.

”Since Affairs Officer Bai is so thrifty, then please, use mine.” Chen Jiuzheng dialed the number and handed over the phone with a scoff on his face.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, unfazed, took the phone, and held it to his ear.

”Mr. Jiuzheng!” a deep and rich voice came through the phone.

”Mr. Chen, it’s me.” Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile.

”Who are you?” Chen Jiutian was startled at first, but then he woke up, his voice rising, ”You’re Bai Xiaosheng!”

”That’s right, it’s me!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s voice was warm and friendly, like that of a friend, as he spoke while also glancing at Chen Jiuzheng, ”I’ve come to Zhongjing for an investigation. Your younger brother? Very cooperative! However, he is somewhat verbose when answering questions. Two questions have taken us an hour. Of course, we have plenty of time to play with him...”

Bai Xiaosheng chatted with Chen Jiutian for over ten minutes.

During this time, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying both came back with food and drinks, and Bai Xiaosheng told them to eat first, while he got up and walked to the corner of the VIP room to continue talking.

Chen Jiuzheng ate with a cold face, unceremoniously, all the while keeping his eyes fixed on Bai Xiaosheng.

He too needed to conserve his strength to deal with these people surnamed Bai.

After finishing the call, Bai Xiaosheng returned chuckling with the phone in hand and passed it to Chen Jiuzheng, ”Mr. Chen Jiutian seems very busy, he doesn’t want us to disturb him, which is understandable.”

Chen Jiuzheng took the phone in silence.

”Affairs Officer Bai!” Lin Weiwei tenderly offered food to Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng took it with a smile, eating while watching Chen Jiuzheng.

This phone call may have seemed ordinary, but it was very crucial!

Firstly, it would put pressure on Chen Jiutian, making him even more flustered.

Secondly, it would give Chen Jiutian the illusion that Chen Jiuzheng was already tying him up in Zhongjing.

Furthermore, it would make Chen Jiuzheng believe that his brother knew they were on their way back to Linshen, so there was no need to get in touch any further.

Of course, this was the most ideal scenario!

Chen Jiuzheng could send messages within Bai Xiaosheng’s line of sight, or make a call when visiting the restroom to contact Chen Jiutian again.

Sending messages was more likely.

But for someone as suspicious as Chen Jiutian, it was very possible he’d assume it was a ”fishing” operation done using Chen Jiuzheng’s phone. Bai Xiaosheng had also intentionally joked during the call to ”lay the groundwork.”

Calling was also a possibility.

However, they would be boarding soon, and the call would probably have to wait until the early hours of the morning.

Bai Xiaosheng believed that Chen Jiutian wouldn’t be in the mood to answer then, as he would be ”very busy.”

Not only that, but Bai Xiaosheng decided,

After finishing their meal, during the wait to board and on the flight itself, he would have the Affairs Assistant question Chen Jiuzheng, keeping him constantly occupied, ensuring that once Chen Jiuzheng could take a break, he would only think of resting and sleeping.

Fatigue tactics!

Using every means to cut off the source of information to Chen Jiutian.

Bai Xiaosheng enjoyed his meal greatly, smiling sweetly at Chen Jiuzheng.

Chen Jiuzheng couldn’t be bothered with him and just buried his head, eating voraciously.

He needed strength! Whether for now, or once they reached Linshen!

”My brother is still the regional director, and we have Zheng Honghu, we might not lose!”

Chen Jiuzheng silently reminded himself to persist and not give up.

At this moment, in Chen Jiutian’s study at Linshen, the battlefront had shifted as he prepared a countermeasure.

The call from Bai Xiaosheng did indeed make him irritated and more anxious.

Under such a mindset, his analytical and decision-making abilities were greatly diminished.

However, his intelligence hadn’t failed him yet.

”Brother Zheng, you’ve seen the information too. There’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you!”

Chen Jiutian said to Zheng Honghu, ”The people you’re asking me for are mostly on my turf. Using them, how do you plan to trap Bai Xiaosheng? We need to save Jiuzheng and keep me out of it, too.”

”What exactly are you going to do!”
