Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1072: Chapter 1072: Fortunately, He Gained Nothing

Chen Yucheng flipped through the items taken from Guo Yunxin’s safe, his eyes overflowing with ecstatic surprise.

Ordinary people would keep some accounts, documents, as a last resort, which was understandable.

Especially when dealing with nefarious deeds, no one wanted to be treated as an expendable pawn, nor did they want to be betrayed by a comrade.

Keeping a backup plan was a compelled necessity.

However, for someone like Guo Yunxin, to have his own handcrafted ledger with annotations,

That was rare!

Not only that, he even kept a diary, meticulously recording who said what crucial words, when and where.

This was too comprehensive!

No wonder when Bai Xiaosheng spoke of Sun Youhe, even someone as crafty as Guo Yunxin got scared and subconsciously glanced at his secret safe, because it was as if he was hinting at him!

Looking at the evidence, Chen Yucheng roughly counted.

The number of people involved was even more than they had discovered!

”Is this everything?” Lin Weiwei looked over the items and then at the empty safe.

For now, it appeared so.

This big group could be called a gang.

But thinking of Shen Peishen again made one feel that the number of these people was really not that large.

Thus, Lin Weiwei was doubtful.

However, there was indeed nothing else left in the safe.

”We should say, these are all the contents of this particular safe!” Chen Yucheng looked up, ”But it doesn’t mean that Guo Yunxin doesn’t have similar safes elsewhere!”

”Separating them for storage is safer!”

After speaking, Chen Yucheng paused slightly, his gaze flickering, ”Or perhaps, these are all the people associated with Guo Yunxin!”

”For a large organization, the bigger its personnel, the more likely it is that a problem with one member can affect a whole group and even spread further! This terrifying domino effect can sometimes even endanger the safety of the entire group!”

”If the organization is effective, a large group could divide into several smaller groups that cooperate with each other while keeping their connections shallow, couldn’t that be more secure!”

”This way, if a small group encounters a survival threat, it’s possible to decisively sever ties without affecting the security of the larger entity!”

Chen Yucheng spoke gravely, ”If it were me, that’s what I’d do.”

This is why some big brands create many smaller sub-brands with different names: it’s a consciousness of spreading risk.

Not to put all one’s eggs in one basket!

Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, and Xiao Qiang nodded as they listened, agreeing with Chen Yucheng’s judgment.

Chen Yucheng speaking so openly, in fact, also represented his trust in Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

He witnessed the understanding between Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying.

Also, given Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying’s lack of surprise when seeing these items, he knew that these people were Bai Xiaosheng’s trusted insiders!

Completely trustworthy!

Bai Xiaosheng had previously analyzed Guo Yunxin with me, mentioning he’s very likely to be a person who keeps ledgers and writes journals. At that time, I didn’t take it seriously, but now it seems, he guessed correctly! His ability to read people is more accurate than mine!

Chen Yucheng inwardly sighed but increasingly admired and praised Bai Xiaosheng.

”What should we do now, take photos of these items to serve as evidence?” Xiao Qiang couldn’t help but ask.

In his view, this was a cautious approach, to avoid alerting the target.

”What photos? Of course, take everything,” Lin Weiwei gave him a surprised glance and unabashedly stuffed all the items into her briefcase.

”Is that really okay? What if Guo Yunxin comes back and finds his stuff missing...” Xiao Qiang couldn’t help but continue, ”What if he prepares in advance and destroys the evidence!”

To him, this seemed a bit rash.

Lei Ying smirked, took out a tube of toothpaste-like substance, and carefully squeezed it into several spots inside the safe until the entire tube was used up, then he gave a nod and closed the safe door.

”This is a powerful adhesive I composed myself, very effective. When Guo Yunxin tries to open this safe, he’ll find that although the combination is correct, it just won’t open!”

”I believe he won’t easily look for someone to lock pick, and finding a completely reliable and trustworthy locksmith takes time!”

”And even when the locksmith arrives, how to open a door completely glued shut! Unless, using a blowtorch to cut!”

As Lei Ying explained, Xiao Qiang was stunned, and even Chen Yucheng’s eyelids twitched.

The way these people went about their business had a certain mastery to it.

Even the subsequent preventive measures were meticulously considered...

”Actually, there’s one thing that I’ve been very concerned about!” Chen Yucheng looked at Lin Weiwei and said, ”We’re all insiders, so I’ll just say it.”

Lin Weiwei was intrigued and immediately nodded.

”Weiwei, why did Xiaosheng so decisively give up on forcing Guo Yunxin to submit?”

”In my view, at that time he had already secured victory and there was no need to do so!”

”Did he have such firm conviction, such assurance, that whatever Guo Yunxin was hiding here, its value would outweigh the success that was already at hand?”

Chen Yucheng’s doubts were secondary; what really mattered to him was whether Bai Xiaosheng, the man he followed, acted impulsively at times, without considering the consequences.

That’s when Guo Yunxin unintentionally glanced over here. He saw it too, and he doubted.

But he wasn’t as decisive as Bai Xiaosheng, even giving up the nearly obtained ”results.”

Chen Yucheng wanted to learn a thing or two from the people around Bai Xiaosheng.

He was more concerned about Bai Xiaosheng’s way of doing things, and what they thought about it.

Lin Weiwei knew what he was thinking and immediately smiled, ”Brother Chen, Xiaosheng always reminds us that people’s emotions are unstable; yielding in a moment doesn’t mean they won’t regain their senses, and people can lie. But evidence doesn’t!”

”As for why Xiaosheng is so confident, you can understand that he has a keen perspective, able to notice things that others can’t!”

”If you want to know his reasons afterward, you are welcome to ask. I believe you won’t be disappointed!”

”But there’s one thing, both Lei Ying and I always remember, once this leader makes a decision, even if we don’t understand or see it clearly at the time, we will trust him unconditionally!”

”It’s not to say he has never made a mistake. But even if he does, he can still lead us to turn the situation around! That’s his real strength!”

”Brother Chen, since you’ve chosen to trust him, perhaps you could afford to be a bit more confident!”

Lin Weiwei’s simple words somehow carried an inexplicable force.

Chen Yucheng remained silent and then smiled, ”Next time, I’m willing to give it a try!”

Meanwhile, in another room.

Bai Xiaosheng and Guo Yunxin sat opposite each other, having already talked for twenty minutes.

The conversation was always under Bai Xiaosheng’s control.

However, Bai Xiaosheng’s thinking was surprisingly erratic, digressing as they spoke.

Just as Guo Yunxin couldn’t bear it any longer, Bai Xiaosheng would bring the topic back on track.

All of Bai Xiaosheng’s topics revolved around his acquaintance with Shen Peishen and Lin Yu, leading Guo Yunxin to believe that Bai Xiaosheng indeed wanted to foster ”goodwill” through him with his side.

With that thought, Guo Yunxin became more patient.

Sun Youhe had already fallen into Bai Xiaosheng’s hands, and his own lifeline was also in Bai Xiaosheng’s grasp.

He dared not offend this big shot.

After twenty minutes of talking, Guo Yunxin became increasingly restless, urging in his mind for Bai Xiaosheng to get to the point and stop discussing Shen Peishen and Lin Yu. It was time to talk about something substantive!

Guo Yunxin could hardly stop from urging him.

Just then.

Bai Xiaosheng’s phone rang with a notification sound.

He looked at it and immediately smiled.

What good news could make him smile so comfortably?

Guo Yunxin saw it and was curious.

Little did he know, the message was from Lin Weiwei.

Their good news was bad news for Guo Yunxin!

”It’s getting late,” Bai Xiaosheng said after putting down his phone with a smile, standing up. ”Mr. Guo, let’s end our chat here.”

His calm tone left Guo Yunxin momentarily stunned.

What was happening?

What did this mean?

Bai Xiaosheng, the Senior Affairs Officer, had come with a peaceful opening, then suddenly wanted to talk privately. After starting a conversation that lacked any substantial content, he now wanted to leave?

Guo Yunxin couldn’t understand.

Could it be that Bai Xiaosheng had hinted at something during their conversation?

And that he was too foolish to notice?

Guo Yunxin went over it in his head, but his thoughts were a jumbled mess.

”Senior Affairs Officer Xiaosheng, why are you in such a hurry to leave... That is, is there really nothing else you want to say to me?” Guo Yunxin hurriedly stood up and, with a forced smile, couldn’t help but ask.

”Hmm...”

Bai Xiaosheng thought for a moment.

Guo Yunxin was full of anticipation.

”Mr. Guo, take care!” Bai Xiaosheng gave a meaningful smile and strode away.

Guo Yunxin was dumbfounded.

Take care? Was that what Bai Xiaosheng wanted to say in the end?

As he watched Bai Xiaosheng walk away, Guo Yunxin hurried after him.

On the way to see Bai Xiaosheng off, Guo Yunxin’s mind raced—

”What exactly is Bai Xiaosheng trying to do with this move?”

”I should report this, just in case!”

”However, fortunately, he’s leaving empty-handed—for now!”
