Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 902: 902 Chapter We Got Played by Bai Xiaosheng!

Lin Yu had not yet received any news; he was on a high-speed train.

Since boarding the train, Lin Yu had been silent, his eyes fixed on one spot, lost in thought.

Next to him, Gao Peng and Liu Yan were very puzzled; clearly, after deciding to send the report, Lin Yu had stopped agonizing over it.

Why had he become like this again?

The two couldn’t help but mutter to themselves in secret.

”Does the boss feel that things got too tense with Officer Bai Xiaosheng, and it’ll be awkward when they meet in the future?”

”It’s not a big deal, right? Officer Bai Xiaosheng set us up in JinPing, just look at what the Affairs Department is saying about the boss now.”

”But no matter what, Officer Bai Xiaosheng is Mr. Xiahou Qi’s personally appointed New-type Affairs Officer. We might not look at the monk’s face, but we should at least look at the Buddha’s face...”

”I hate to hear that! Even if Bai Xiaosheng has Mr. Xiahou Qi behind him, our boss has Sir Shen Peishen behind him. If he’s a New-type Affairs Officer, our boss is still the standard for an Affairs Officer. Should we really be so wary?!”

”Shh, keep it down!”

”What’s there to be afraid of, there are no outsiders here, who could hear me!”

As the two were guessing, they suddenly heard Lin Yu exclaim a phrase—

”No good! There’s a problem here!”

Gao Peng and Liu Yan were startled and looked at Lin Yu in surprise.

Lin Yu mumbled to himself, ”Bai Xiaosheng got the clues from Zhang Kai, which led him to Wuqiu. No matter how deeply the other party hid, unraveling the clues thread by thread, it’s impossible that not a trace, not a hint went undetected, right!”

”Moreover, after only two days in Wuqiu, he began drafting the report, even writing down the exact time he planned to submit it so clearly?”

”He wrote it, yet tore it up and threw it away, only for it to be coincidentally found and restored, and sent exactly to my doorstep?”

”In the ten-plus days of investigation, we really avoided each other perfectly, employees from the same company, didn’t anyone gossip, nobody mentioned it?”

...

Lin Yu kept muttering, his brows increasingly furrowed, his eyes showing shock.

He turned his face to look at Gao Peng, and said in a deep voice, ”We’ve been misled!”

”Ah, boss, what... what do you mean?” Gao Peng said blankly.

”The enterprise we are investigating is very likely... not the one related to Zhang Kai!” Lin Yu said, word by word.

”But that enterprise does have problems, serious ones at that!” Gao Peng stammered out.

Liu Yan also nodded, ”Yeah!”

”It’s a problematic enterprise, but it’s not the biggest worm in Wuqiu, we’ve been misled by Bai Xiaosheng!” Lin Yu asserted.

He was somewhat annoyed.

Only now, calmly reviewing from the beginning, did he realize the problem!

And there were so many problems!

”With all these issues, I actually overlooked them!”

”How could I be so confident that Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t find out I was in Wuqiu and wouldn’t take strategic countermeasures against us!”

”My mentor repeatedly warned me not to underestimate Bai Xiaosheng, yet I... still took him so lightly!”

Lin Yu kept chastising himself.

”How could it be, we didn’t have any contact with them at all, moreover, we hired detectives at a high price for surveillance, and even high-level detectives got confused and messed up? Are Officer Bai Xiaosheng and his people... that cunning?”

Gao Peng was still somewhat disbelieving, and even Liu Yan was filled with doubt.

They all thought that Lin Yu was overthinking it for a moment.

Although this possibility was extremely slight where Lin Yu was concerned.

”Why did the first detective, Zhang Wang, only follow for two days, and actually track for only half a day before adamantly quitting, not even agreeing to triple the salary? The person he recommended, we just trusted him like that, what if that Dongzi was actually Bai Xiaosheng’s man!” Lin Yu retorted.

In his rational thinking, Lin Yu’s mental sharpness was frightening.

Gao Peng and Liu Yan were asked until they were speechless with shock.

To say it was possible seemed too fantastical, could Officer Bai Xiaosheng be a demon?

To say it was impossible, but in reality, it truly was possible!

Even they dared not deny it!

”But this... it’s just too unbelievable!”

In the end, both Gao Peng and Liu Yan exclaimed in unison.

”Unbelievable?” Lin Yu murmured these words, recalling the man Bai Xiaosheng, ”He in himself is an unbelievable existence!”

Facing this person, I actually lost my reason and the most basic judgment!

Lin Yu thought to himself, had he lived too smoothly all these years, to the point of being hopelessly foolish when facing a formidable opponent?

Lin Yu was no longer annoyed but was reflecting.

He was not someone hopelessly foolish.

At least, he was able to detect problems quickly when the situation was still unclear.

His thinking ability was nearly on par with Bai Xiaosheng’s!

The gap between the two lay in the timeliness of information and the difference in support.

”But, I still can’t believe it...”

”Yeah, boss, might you be overthinking it because you’ve been too tired these days...”

Gao Peng and Liu Yan couldn’t help but say.

A series of speculations might be true, might not be. Taking it as truth directly, that wouldn’t be good.

Lin Yu’s expression returned to normal, reclining in his chair. Now that the report had been submitted, it was too late for anything else.

”Let’s wait, there will be a result. I hope I am wrong...” Lin Yu closed his eyes to rest, ”But I feel that I am right!”

”After meeting with the teacher, I will request once again to re-learn and train!”

”I hope the next time I clash with Bai Xiaosheng, I will win!”

This self-dialogue from Lin Yu left Gao Peng and Liu Yan looking at each other, perplexed.

Isn’t it a bit too pessimistic?

As the two were thinking, Gao Peng’s cellphone rang. He took it out and saw that it was someone from the Affairs Department, one of their own people.

”Hello?” Gao Peng answered.

Seconds later, his expression changed dramatically, ”What! What did you say, say it again!”

Liu Yan watched her normally composed partner in shock, wondering what could have startled him so.

After hanging up, Gao Peng swallowed hard and seemed somewhat dazed.

”What happened?” Liu Yan couldn’t help but ask.

Gao Peng looked at her and said with some difficulty, ”Officer Bai Xiaosheng, a few hours after we sent our report, also submitted a report!”

”Weren’t they supposed to send it tomorrow?” Liu Yan said.

What did it matter if Officer Bai Xiaosheng submitted their report early? They were still later than them.

”Could it be that this time, their report is more comprehensive than ours? That’s impossible, absolutely impossible!” Liu Yan insisted.

She was one of the investigators, how could she not know? The investigation was double and triple-checked for accuracy, and it was impossible for there to be any mistakes. Moreover, even if there were mistakes, the explanations would surely cover them.

”Do you still not understand?”

Gao Peng’s laugh was uglier than crying as he glanced at Lin Yu and said to Liu Yan, ”That phone call just now confirmed the boss’s judgment.”

”Officer Bai Xiaosheng, they weren’t investigating the same company as us!”

”What they found is the real big fish! What we caught was bait!”
