Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1195: Chapter 1169: No Clues, Can Buy

Nanyu City, a rising new city in the country, ranks among the top ten in the list of potential in young cities.

Walking through this city, one feels most intensely its dynamic pulse.

The phrase ”changing every day” is not enough to describe it.

The official slogan, however, is quite fitting—

”One day a Nanyu, ten years a new face!”

From 2008 to now, in just a mere decade, Nanyu has become a strong economic city, a new suitable place for living, with rapid development that is astounding and has become a top choice for many Asia-Pacific international conferences.

Enterprises in Nanyu, over these years, have all found their own big or small opportunities.

Early in the morning.

Bai Xiaosheng and the other two who had just arrived in Nanyu didn’t rush to find a hotel to stay, instead, they dragged their luggage to a clean and tidy breakfast spot by the road to eat.

Firstly, they were hungry.

Secondly, they wanted to experience the morning light of Nanyu.

Even if you read many materials, the best way to truly understand a city is to experience it in person.

Bai Xiaosheng and his companions arrived early, and when they entered, there were only a few other diners.

They picked a quiet table by the window so they could eat while chatting and look out at the city through the window.

The breakfast was rich.

The restaurant offered a variety of foods. From hot noodles to tofu pudding, from various sweet and salty porridges to soups, everything was available; including baked goods, shaomai, pancakes, rolled pancakes, soup dumplings, reflecting a mixture of culinary styles from the north and south, and each snack was very tasty.

”Speaking of which, our Senior Affairs Officer Shen really has a good eye. Look at the cities he chooses, they all are places with potential and room for development. Places like these have bright prospects and many opportunities. Whether it is supporting trusted followers or utilizing resources for external enterprises, profits are enormous. Also, as these places develop quickly, the enterprises perform well, leading to fast promotions, essentially a direct pipeline to send his own people to the headquarters. Naturally, his associates tend to cluster together.”

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Nanyu bathed in the morning light through the window, feeling somewhat moved.

Shen Peishen was not an ordinary person, others may scatter their subordinates, but his formed clusters.

Initially, Bai Xiaosheng found it strange, but then realized it was quite reasonable.

From this perspective, Bai Xiaosheng actually admired Shen Peishen.

Just as Shen Peishen had always admired him.

Unfortunately, the two held different ideals, destined to walk different paths, destined not to be friends.

”How good Shen Peishen’s foresight may be, or how many people he may have, in the end, he is just delivering performance quotas to us. I heard that our major inspection in Nandu and Qinggang has particularly upset Shen Peishen, it seems we really hit where it hurts.”

Lin Weiwei said with a cheerful smile, delicately nibbling a small soup dumpling, gently sipping the broth first, then taking a small bite, chewing and savoring.

While eating, she continued, ”This time we’ve taken the battle to Nanyu, launching a surprise attack, making a big move, it’s bound to make Shen Peishen cry! Probably, he’s truly been severely weakened, and from now on he might just honestly keep a low profile.”

Lin Weiwei was quite excited and optimistic.

Lei Ying was engrossed in eating his noodles.

Large chunks of beef with fresh tender greens, mixed with a big spoonful of bright red chili, made it fragrant and spicy, the soup and meat both delightful, causing him to perspire finely on his forehead.

”Do not underestimate your enemy’s intelligence!” Lei Ying reminded amidst his busy eating, ”Especially someone who can manage such a large operation, isn’t simple!”

Along their journey, they had come to know just how many ”subordinates” Shen Peishen actually had; the numbers they uncovered were astonishing. These were all ”clustered” together, as for those scattered elsewhere, they probably exist but are hard to trace.

Lei Ying was just stating a calm fact.

Lin Weiwei felt somewhat unconvinced.

She thought, having won a great victory, shouldn’t one be inspired and uplifted, filled with fighting spirit? Being too cautious was excessive.

Also, who underestimated the enemy’s intelligence!

Those who need attention, naturally still require attention!

Hearing Lei Ying’s words, Bai Xiaosheng paused with his chopsticks, thought for a moment, and then nodded seriously, ”Now that you mention it, I also feel, being cautious as an opponent to Shen Peisheng is better! I myself... seem to have been a bit too hasty!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s hastiness was indeed explainable.

He longed for scores, for more and more scores.

He thought that in the next four months, by securing the last thirty points needed for promotion, he could rise to a role comparable to that of the President of the Greater China Region, making it the perfect opportunity to visit the Wei Family.

Just a few days ago, he had achieved another victorious fruit.

Bai Xiaosheng was also thinking about seizing the momentum and striking while the iron is hot, but now, having calmed down, he wondered: Could rushing lead to problems?!

Early this morning, Bai Xiaosheng chewed slowly and pondered over his breakfast, questioning his own heart.

He was not an impulsive person; even if there were justifiable reasons, he couldn’t be like this, he needed to suppress his desires.

Bai Xiaosheng questioned himself in his heart and also scrutinized others.

The irritability Shen Peishen displayed at headquarters, that must have been intentional, right?

A person like him, with profound cultivation, surely had a purpose in showing emotions.

Feigning demeanor?

Who was it for?

For Elder Xia, or for those associated with him?

After all, his subordinates had been overturned several times; if he didn’t make a stance now, wouldn’t that dishearten people?

Before Bai Xiaosheng could think it through or determine if it was related to him, his thoughts were interrupted by a shadow flickering before his eyes.

Bai Xiaosheng looked up and saw Lin Weiwei waving her hand in front of him.

Lei Ying was also sipping soup while watching him.

”What’s wrong?” Bai Xiaosheng asked in surprise as he looked at the two of them.

Why were they staring at him like that?

”Hmm, Weiwei, you were right, Sheng was distracted, he really didn’t hear your question,” Lei Ying muttered and continued eating.

Lin Weiwei gave Bai Xiaosheng a somewhat resentful glance.

”What... did you say? Say it again, I’ll listen carefully this time,” Bai Xiaosheng quickly said with a smile, ”Sorry about just now, Weiwei!”

”Actually, it was nothing much.” Bai Xiaosheng apologized, and Lin Weiwei immediately stopped being angry, even giving him a smile, ”I just wanted to ask. Xiaosheng, regarding this place, do we only have the clues from Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe? Even though you deduced from Lin Yu that there’s an issue here, once we really get here, where should we start our investigation?”

That was a question. They couldn’t just operate without a clue, blundering around like headless flies.

”In Nandu and Qinggang, if you don’t show up, in just three to five days, our absence there will be exposed. By then, Shen Peishen and the others will definitely be searching for us,” Lin Weiwei hesitated, but still said, ”Although, we had released news early on about going here, stopping by Guangyun and then Nandu, with Xu Huang firing two shots, this is still ultimately our destination, also one of their real ’bases’. Once they realize, they will arrange and be on guard against us here, and then it will get even more troublesome.”

At most four to five days, maybe even shorter.

That was the longest duration Bai Xiaosheng and the others could conceal their tracks, to seize the initiative.

If a point of entry existed, initiating quick action would be feasible, but the fear was if none existed...

Then their advance arrival these past few days would be meaningless.

”Regarding the clues about this place, I don’t know more than you do,” Bai Xiaosheng honestly said.

Afterwards, he explained, ”By hiding our tracks and coming here first, on one hand, it’s to investigate and see if we can find anything.”

”On the other hand, it’s also to make them lose track of us. When they suddenly discover we’re here, they are bound to react.”

”As soon as they make a move, then the clues and entry points will come!”

So, that was Bai Xiaosheng’s plan!

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying suddenly understood.

”One more thing, we may not have clues, but others do,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, ”We can buy them!”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged a glance, both immediately thought of that woman, ”Yu Ying!”

”But by doing so, isn’t it highly likely that our presence in Nanyu City would be prematurely exposed? That woman is very cunning! And there’s no guarantee she won’t sell this information to Shen Peishen!”

Yu Ying, ever since she revealed her true nature, was very much disliked by Lin Weiwei.

Especially because that woman was particularly frivolous with Bai Xiaosheng!

Hearing Lin Weiwei’s cautious words, Bai Xiaosheng smiled, ”We just made a big deal with her, asking for just three to five days of confidentiality, I believe she will agree. As for after three to five days, if she sells our whereabouts to Shen Peishen, even better!”

”Let her, be the one to strike the grass and startle the snake!”
