Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1233: Chapter 1196: Can’t Go Back!

Zhenbei Group Greater China Region’s CEO, Mr. Xiahou Qi, suddenly became critically ill and was admitted to the ICU—Intensive Care Unit.

From Zhenbei Group’s headquarters far away in America, senior executives were sent to convey their sympathies promptly.

The Greater China Region’s first Senior Affairs Officer, Shen Peishen, was temporarily appointed as the acting CEO of the Greater China Region.

Once these three pieces of news spread, the whole Greater China Region was shaken!

Talking about Mr. Xiahou Qi’s condition, among the mid-and upper-level management in the Greater China Region, some sighed, felt emotional, and grieved, while others were delighted, content, and ecstatic.

Regardless of the stance or camp, or personal sentiments,

Everyone recognized that Mr. Xiahou Qi was a monumental figure in the Greater China Region.

Now, the sky had fallen.

Although Shen Peishen’s rise to the top was just a temporary assignment, it nearly declared a fact—

He would be the next CEO of the Greater China Region!

Thus, many people were worried, and many were overjoyed.

In any case, within a day, in just one hour, the feelings of the mid-and upper-level management at Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region were complex, but they had to admit that talking about the sky falling in the Greater China Region was not an exaggeration.

Rather, it was a change of heaven!

Li Haofeng, Zheng Honghu, and another female Senior Affairs Officer, Xu Youruo, who were investigating abroad, were extremely shocked and grief-stricken when they received the news, for they were all handpicked by Mr. Xiahou Qi, having a relationship with him that was part mentor, part father. Faced with such terrible news, it was hard for them to accept, and they immediately wanted to return.

Bai Xiaosheng contacted the three of them right away, and he chose to do so over video call.

”I’ve booked the earliest flight, I’ll rush back overnight!”

”I’ve arranged a driver over here, I’m setting out shortly, it doesn’t matter how many hours, I’ll drive back!”

”I’m already on my way to the high-speed rail station, it’s just seven hours by high-speed rail to Linshen!”

These three, regardless of their usual temperaments, were extremely agitated at the moment.

They wanted to rush back as soon as possible, to Elder Xia’s side.

Facing the three emotionally charged individuals, Bai Xiaosheng, on the other hand, was unusually silent.

”Sheng, you’re actually the closest to Linshen. Once you get there, you must remind the doctors to use the best medicine, the finest techniques, and if that’s not enough, arrange to transfer him to the capital, or even abroad! Elder Xia’s illness cannot be delayed for a single moment!” Li Haofeng urgently advised.

Zheng Honghu and Xu Youruo both said similar things.

”We can’t go back now!”

Bai Xiaosheng replied with a grave expression, in a slow and heavy tone to Li Haofeng.

His words made all three individuals’ expressions change; they were to some extent, incredulous.

”Elder Xia is in the ICU, and you still fucking sit there calmly? Are you still thinking about work, about the investigation, about performance?!”

Li Haofeng roared in anger, ”Bai Xiaosheng, are you even human! I was fucking wrong about you! Elder Xia was wrong about you!”

Of the three, Li Haofeng had the deepest emotional connection to Mr. Xiahou Qi, so much so that this gentlemanly and well-mannered man, upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s words, was enraged to the point of cursing vehemently.

His fury was practically erupting.

If Bai Xiaosheng did not have a valid explanation, it’s likely Li Haofeng would turn his back on Bai Xiaosheng for life.

Zheng Honghu and Xu Youruo hurriedly tried to mediate.

”Do you know? It’s because of this investigation, this very investigation that sent all of us away, leaving Elder Xia alone to face Shen Peishen and his cohorts, that he was literally exhausted into the ICU! Bai Xiaosheng, this is all because of you!”

Li Haofeng’s eyes were bloodshot, and he continued to bellow.

He was truly distraught.

Zheng Honghu and Xu Youruo swiftly consoled Li Haofeng, and again tried to persuade Bai Xiaosheng.

They suggested that work could be handed over to others for now; the priority should be to visit Elder Xia immediately.

”I admit, this matter has arisen because of me!”

Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t angry about Li Haofeng’s outburst.

After all, even the most rational person can lose their composure when someone they are deeply close, trust, and respect is in trouble.

He didn’t shy away from Li Haofeng’s angry words.

To be fair, Bai Xiaosheng himself was suppressing a raging fury, wishing he could fly straight to the headquarters and have a showdown with Shen Peishen and his associates.

However, that was not an option!

”Elder Xia, up until yesterday, still spoke to me. Do you know what he said?” Bai Xiaosheng said.

Li Haofeng glared angrily at Bai Xiaosheng but ultimately did not interrupt.

Bai Xiaosheng continued solemnly, ”Elder Xia said, ’Sheng, this might be our only chance, the real opportunity to bring clarity back to the Greater China Region. I have waited, a full twenty years for this opportunity!’”

”’Now, the opportunity has finally arrived, and I have to thank you, thank Haofeng, thank Honghu, thank Youruo.’”

”’I am also grateful, grateful for having you guys as the future backbone! The future of the Greater China Region is assured because of you!’”

As Bai Xiaosheng repeated the words Elder Xia said yesterday, it was as if the old man had a premonition and said a lot, unusually.

Bai Xiaosheng’s repetition carried a touch of sadness.

Li Haofeng’s eyes were already filled with tears.

Zheng Honghu, Xu Youruo were also silent and filled with sorrow.

”Twenty years!”

Through the video call, Bai Xiaosheng raised two fingers, looking at Li Haofeng and the two others.

”The old man waited twenty years for this opportunity!”

”Maybe you think this is Shen Peishen’s trap, and we’ve been duped, and that Elder Xia got played by Shen Peishen as well.”

”But what I am telling you now is, this is an opportunity! Whether you accept it or not, this is the chance to thoroughly dig out Shen Peishen!”

”If you persist, if you stay and with the fastest, even faster pace, dig out all those pests and sons of bitches, then that is an opportunity! Not a trap anymore!”

”If you go back now! Without you holding the fort, Shen Peishen has a hundred ways to turn the tables, do you believe that?”

”I know that actually, you all understand this, it’s just that you are deceiving yourselves!”

”Elder Xia waited twenty years, betting everything to create this opportunity for us, just to go see him for a moment, for the sake of your conscience at this moment, you want to give up? Is that really your conscience?”

”Then will your conscience be at peace in the future!”

”Elder Xia said he is reassured by having you, is he truly reassured!”

Bai Xiaosheng got more and more animated as he spoke, and finally he bellowed out loud, even pointing at Li Haofeng’s nose and shouting, ”Speak up, Li Haofeng, speak!”

”If you don’t care, then go back!”

Zheng Honghu, Xu Youruo looked at Bai Xiaosheng in the video in shock.

They were all in their forties or fifties, people who had been the Senior Affairs Officer for several years, and yet they were shaken by what Bai Xiaosheng said.

In the video, Li Haofeng stared angrily at Bai Xiaosheng, breathing heavily, opening his mouth but unable to say a word.

”We should go back, we should return to Elder Xia with a clear conscience! If you are truly anxious, then bring everyone to fight with all you’ve got, and thoroughly investigate all the scoundrels!” Bai Xiaosheng said fiercely.

Beneath the silence, Zheng Honghu and Xu Youruo finally spoke up again.

”I think Sheng is right!”

”I also agree with Sheng’s point!” - the Senior Affairs Officer.

They too agreed with Bai Xiaosheng’s opinion and even began to express their stance.

”I will deal with things here before returning!”

”Haofeng Senior Affairs Officer, let’s finish the job before we go!”

In the video, Li Haofeng’s face was grim as he stared straight at Bai Xiaosheng, suddenly yelling to someone outside of the video, ”Turn around, let’s go back!”

That was to his driver.

Li Haofeng agreed!

These three Senior Affairs Officers were, in an unprecedented move, following the lead of this young man, Bai Xiaosheng!

”Let me warn you in advance, Shen Peishen would be happy to see us return, but if we stand our ground, he will become anxious and will stop at nothing to force us to give up the investigation,” Bai Xiaosheng looked at the three in the video. ”You are all my seniors, so what do you say!”

”Hold the line!” Li Haofeng said.

The calmed him had a steely look in his eyes, regaining the demeanor of the Haofeng Senior Affairs Officer from the past.

Zheng Honghu and Xu Youruo also nodded in agreement.

Their gaze also hardened.

”Not one step...”

”Back!”

”Very well!” Bai Xiaosheng nodded decisively, ”Then next, everyone, give it your all!”
