Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1192: Chapter 1166: The True Scheme

”Teacher, what do you mean by this?” Lin Yu couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment, ”Are you so certain that Bai Xiaosheng will win?”

Lin Yu glanced at Cheng Liu and continued, ”Then are we, who have been so busy and putting so much effort into arranging this scheme, not doing it to take down Bai Xiaosheng?”

Lin Yu was very puzzled, and he wasn’t the only one; Cheng Liu felt the same.

Could it be that the teacher’s arrangement of this deadly scheme was not intended to trap and kill Bai Xiaosheng?

How could that be possible!

Lin Yu didn’t believe it.

Neither did Cheng Liu.

They both could be considered direct members within Shen Peishen’s closest circle, having gone through countless ”evaluations.”

To them, Shen Peishen had no need to hide anything.

”When did I say that this scheme would definitely take down Bai Xiaosheng?”

Facing the doubts of Lin Yu and others, Shen Peishen smiled seriously, ”That is a Senior Affairs Officer! Plus, Xiahou Qi as the president, and the support from Zheng Honghu and Li Haofeng, two Senior Affairs Officers and higher, as well as Chen Yucheng and a large number of Affairs Officers.”

”Do you think, just with this public opinion deathtrap, you can definitively doom him? Do you believe it yourselves?”

Shen Peishen’s counter-question left Lin Yu and Cheng Liu speechless.

To be honest, when things looked very favorable, they truly thought that Bai Xiaosheng was finished this time!

His reputation would stink, ruined!

Such a significant Senior Affairs Officer, even if Xiahou Qi dared to employ and protect him, the headquarters of Zhenbei Group would not turn a blind eye!

They could also take the opportunity to criticize Xiahou Qi!

But Teacher Shen Peishen said that this scheme was not really to take down Bai Xiaosheng.

Then what was the reason for such a big investment, such a ”sacrifice”?

Just to cause some trouble for Bai Xiaosheng?

What for?

The two of them couldn’t understand.

”Do you really want to know what I truly want in all of this?!” This time, Shen Peishen chuckled and took the initiative to speak.

Lin Yu and Cheng Liu nodded eagerly.

”This is yet another time Bai Xiaosheng has outmaneuvered me, Shen Peishen; it’s another great achievement for him.”

”People, no matter how well-controlled their mindset, still have desires and emotions! It’s sainthood to truly achieve a state of neither joy nor sorrow.”

”Even Bai Xiaosheng, after winning against me time and again, will grow careless, exultant, and pursue further victories!”

”Then let him chase victories. In the future, I have prepared an even bigger victory for him to achieve!”

Shen Peishen spoke with a calm and collected demeanor, but this nearly ’feeding’ strategy left Lin Yu and Cheng Liu even more astonished.

Feeding Lin Yu achievements to help him seize the position of Senior Affairs Officer, that’s understandable.

But what about handing over victories to an enemy, an opponent...

”I do actually have some respect for Bai Xiaosheng, call it caution if you will.”

”So, before doing something truly significant, I need to keep this guy busy far from headquarters, busy with what he thinks is significant.”

”Not only that, I need to keep the attention of Zheng Honghu, Li Haofeng, and Chen Yucheng all on Bai Xiaosheng.”

”Outside, not inside!”

Shen Peishen laughed, ”Of course, these are just one of the goals, not the most important!”

Lin Yu and Cheng Liu listened intently.

”Actually, the reason I caused such a big trouble for Bai Xiaosheng this time is to make him seek help! To have someone sideline me, Shen Peishen.”

”After all, with or without me mediating in it, the results are completely different!”

Shen Peishen said this naturally.

This was not self-praise.

Lin Yu and Cheng Liu had previously lamented that the teacher hadn’t been stationed here to mediate.

Otherwise, Bai Xiaosheng would never have had, at least not so easily, a chance to turn the tables.

And the Wu Family might have been more firm, not so easily swayed.

To blame, it’s that all-day-long meeting that tied up Teacher Shen Peishen.

But as Lin Yu thought about it, a sudden insight flashed through his mind, and his eyes couldn’t help but narrow slightly.

Even though the teacher was tied up with the meeting, the possibility of consulting here or giving some guidance was not out of the question.

In the conference room, there’s only one toilet; if the teacher took a bathroom break midway, it was entirely possible to establish contact with them.

However, the teacher didn’t do anything—it was as if he didn’t care about the dynamics on this side at all.

The teacher isn’t a person of negligence, but this time, he chose not to inquire or ask...

”Could it be, Teacher, that even this meeting was part of your calculations, with something to gain?!” Lin Yu suddenly couldn’t help but exclaim.

Cheng Liu looked at Lin Yu in surprise, startled by this suggestion.

To be able to deduce the necessity and duration of this meeting from another matter, what a brilliant mind one must have!

Shen Peishen smiled admiringly at Lin Yu.

Truly worthy of being the student he picked, such a quick response. Given time, surpassing himself was entirely within reach!

However, when compared to that young lad named Bai, he always felt something was slightly amiss...

Despite verbally insisting on eliminating Bai Xiaosheng, deep inside, Shen Peishen still felt regretful.

Truth be told, Bai Xiaosheng was the most perfect disciple in his heart!

Unfortunately, Bai Xiaosheng insisted on being irreconcilable!

Such a pity!

Each time Shen Peishen thought of Bai Xiaosheng, he felt a pang of heartache.

Now, he patiently explained his thoughts to Lin Yu.

”Bai Xiaosheng seeking help and countering, no matter how I think about it, I am the biggest trouble they face! Whether they can tie me up for the entirety of this day and distract me from matters concerning Nandu and Qinggang, becomes extremely crucial!”

”But in the matter of tying me up, neither Zheng Honghu nor Li Haofeng can manage it, not even any Senior Affairs Officer or several of them!”

A confident smile played on Shen Peishen’s lips, ”Only Xiahou Qi has the capability and the qualification!”

”Recognizing this, Xiahou Qi definitely counts as one! To save Lin Ke, to save Bai Xiaosheng, Xiahou Qi will tie me down. As for how, there are only a few methods after all calculations! The most reasonable one is to hold a meeting!”

”And I, also want to see, just what the physical condition of our Elder Xia is like! Whether he can endure this whole day of meetings!”

...

A content smile appeared on Shen Peishen’s lips as he looked down at his palm.

Recalling the time he supported Xiahou Qi, he felt, through his palm, Xiahou Qi’s thin and trembling arms, as frail as leaves trembling in the autumn wind.

This sense of weakness and frailty brought him immense pleasure!

”Xiahou Qi, Elder Xia, after all, you age faster than I do, your body isn’t as healthy as it appears!”

”I wonder if after this time, you might collapse from exhaustion or illness.”

”If not this time... what about the next time? Or the time after next?”

”Like the silkworm exhausting itself spinning silk until death, like the candle burning itself out until tears dry. Elder Xia, you are the kind who sacrifices oneself to light the way for others. Then I shall give you the opportunity to sacrifice yourself!”

”Of course, relying on chance and taking this indirect path, I wouldn’t place all my hopes on it.”

”The path I choose will be more reliable. When the time comes, if all these support pillars beside you are on Bai Xiaosheng’s side instead of yours, you’ll truly be left alone.”

These thoughts remained unspoken by Shen Peishen.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Peishen looked up, smiled at Lin Yu and Cheng Liu, and said only one thing—

”Actually, the key to taking down Bai Xiaosheng isn’t on him, it lies with Xiahou Qi!”

Without protection, Bai Xiaosheng is at everyone’s mercy!

Lin Yu and Cheng Liu couldn’t help but nod, their eyes bright as torches.

...

A night without words.

The next morning, a shocking news from Wu Media Group set the whole internet abuzz—

The ”Lin Ke Incident,” which had been the hot topic online these past two days, was revealed to be deliberately fabricated by a chief editor of Wu Media Group to create a media sensation and advance his career.

Now, the editor has fled, his whereabouts a mystery, and the company has reported this to the police.

Wu Media Group noticed the issue promptly, held themselves accountable, and immediately apologized to Lin Ke and to the Greater China Region of Zhenbei Group, declaring their willingness to accept all penalties and to compensate Ms. Lin Ke with millions in damages for defamation and emotional distress.

Suddenly, the whole internet was in an uproar!

Major media outlets and influencers rapidly followed up.

Those who had criticized Lin Ke a few days earlier subtly shifted their stance, now condemning the media violence brought by fake news and loudly calling for legislative control.

The news continued to simmer, keeping everyone talking endlessly.

Compared to the truth, people were far more interested in this surprising twist...

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Ke quickly extricated themselves from this hot issue and started a thorough investigation of the Nandu and Qinggang Group-related enterprises.

With the support of the local influencer Wu Family, partial ”plans” known by Wu Dazun of Shen Peishen’s faction, and deductions made by Bai Xiaosheng and others, many of Shen Peishen’s people were investigated and dealt with.

Great achievements were promptly reported to the headquarters.

Suddenly, the headquarters buzzed again because of Bai Xiaosheng.

”I always said that allegations against Senior Affairs Officer Sheng regarding corruption and abuse of power were groundless. Look, the news has clarified, and Officer Lin Ke has even received compensation!”

”We really shouldn’t have speculated about Senior Affairs Officer Sheng; he truly is a role model for our Affairs Department!”

”Look, Senior Affairs Officer Sheng has again sent a list of local problematic figures!”

”It must be them, banding together, bribing unscrupulous media people to frame Senior Affairs Officer Sheng!”

...

For a while, Bai Xiaosheng’s reputation soared spectacularly once again!
