Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1263: Chapter 1214: Shen Peishen, Has Arrived

Bai Xiaosheng chatted with Xiahou Qi for a while, less than ten minutes, when a rapid knocking sound came from outside the door.

Afterwards, Lin Ke simply pushed the door open and rushed towards Xiahou Qi, urgently saying, ”Elder Xia, Shen Peishen really brought people here! They have entered the west gate of the hospital and are heading this way!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng was not surprised at all, instead, he laughed.

”I said it, such a good opportunity, Shen Peishen would not miss it!”

Xiahou Qi also smiled, ”Indeed! Old Shen, this man, he really excels at seizing opportunities. Just now, the Affairs Officers who are loyal to me have returned, and he can just use the excuse of visiting me to organize their arrival. Let them have a good look; this old man, unconscious here, how utterly useless I am. Even waking up is indefinitely deferred. Among those people, some will inevitably feel desperate and see their future as bleak. In this way, their resolve wavering, or even switching allegiances is quite possible. When it comes to playing mind games, Old Shen is quite strong!”

Lin Ke urgently said, ”Now is not the time for sentimentality, old man! I’ve already had Yu Ying hide away, and Wang Mubei has gone to meet them. Now, you should quickly get back into bed. Also, Sheng, you need to adjust your emotions too, and don’t give anything away when they arrive.”

Lin Ke had already started giving orders.

Bai Xiaosheng and Xiahou Qi looked at each other and smiled, the old and the young both promptly agreeing.

”Alright.”

”I will leave it to Officer Lin to arrange.”

Lin Ke glared at the two of them with irritation.

Xiahou Qi gestured towards a corner of the room, to the isolation ward, and said to Bai Xiaosheng with a smile, ”You know, it’s not bad lying in there and sleeping. The soundproofing is good, the bed is soft, and they can’t go in, only able to glance through the glass window from afar. There’s no need to worry about giving anything away.”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, ”Then you better go now. I’ll wait for Shen Peishen to come and then ask for a leave, take a rest, and then go deal with important affairs at our group’s headquarters.”

Bai Xiaosheng spoke casually, but there was a different implication flickering in his eyes.

Xiahou Qi gave him a profound look.

This kid, he’s not an easy one to handle!

Even if it’s just ”taking a leave,” I’m afraid he will cause a stir!

However, Xiahou Qi didn’t say much more and stretched, heading towards the isolation ward.

Lin Ke hurriedly followed.

They still needed to connect some equipment to the old man, at least to make it look convincing.

Of course, the equipment had been tampered with in advance.

Bai Xiaosheng stayed here, waiting for Shen Peishen and his group to arrive.

...

Ten minutes later, Shen Peishen led nearly a hundred people, marching through the corridor, heading straight for Xiahou Qi’s ward.

Although there was a large number of followers, these people were highly disciplined. As they marched, apart from the rustling whispers and discussions, they were overall very quiet.

Wang Mubei and Cheng Liu led the way in front.

It was Wang Mubei who met Shen Peishen and the others downstairs in the small building.

The Affairs Officers in this group were loyal to Xiahou Qi and had also heard some rumors about Wang Mubei.

Of course, these were spread by Shen Peishen’s instigation.

As a result, Wang Mubei was truly branded a traitor, and even if he still had any ambitions, with the crowd condemning him, he had no choice.

Along the way, Shen Peishen also exchanged a few words with Wang Mubei.

”Has Bai Xiaosheng arrived?”

”Your face... was it Bai Xiaosheng who hit you?”

Wang Mubei responded with ”hmm hmm”, seeming somewhat dispirited.

”Really too audacious, such rudeness! Later on, I must teach him a lesson! To not let you suffer this injustice in vain.”

Shen Peishen patted Wang Mubei’s shoulder, speaking in a soft and gentle Whisper.

Wang Mubei nodded again and again.

Hidden smile on Shen Peishen’s face.

Wang Mubei being hit by Bai Xiaosheng and relishing in the schadenfreude by so many Affairs Officers who loathed him, must feel very dejected.

My present courtship will surely be twice as effective with half the effort.

Moreover, it will also show the following Affairs Officers that Wang Mubei has truly become one of Shen Peishen’s people.

With just a few simple words and actions, Shen Peishen’s schemes were quite intricate.

Indeed, the whispering behind their backs had grown a little louder...

...

Approaching Xiahou Qi’s ward, there stood two beauties, one tall and one short, on either side of the door—Lin Ke and Feng Li.

The two women looked at Shen Peishen’s group expressionlessly, their gazes icy cold.

However, after Shen Peishen walked over, the two women still greeted him emotionlessly.

”Sir Shen.”

Compared to their lukewarm attitude, Shen Peishen was much more polite toward them, acting like a kind elder, ”These Affairs Officers were out on an investigative mission when Elder Xia fell ill. Now that they have returned, I am bringing them to see Elder Xia.”

”I’m afraid the room won’t fit so many people!”

Lin Ke glanced at the group and said coldly.

”Even if we take turns entering and exiting in batches, it may still disturb Elder Xia. Why don’t you just bring a few representatives inside to visit?”

Feng Li was still polite. Her demeanor was gentle, and even when being indifferent, she was not as cold as Lin Ke.

”That...alright.” Shen Peishen agreed quite readily.

In truth, in front of hundreds of people, his willingness to follow the suggestions of two young ladies was also a gesture.

It was to show the others how amiable and open to advice he was.

On this day, with Xiahou Qi down, Shen Peishen as the acting president was the reliable and supportive presence that everyone could trust.

Shen Peishen was indeed making a painstaking effort.

After all, the direct subordinates he had accumulated over the years were all swept away by Bai Xiaosheng.

If he does not start now to cultivate new loyalists, how can his position be secure?

For Shen Peishen, being the acting president of the Greater China Region was tough and exhausting!

But it represented the pinnacle of power in this region!

A single command, and the law followed!

This was indeed fascinating!

...

In the end, Shen Peishen chose about a dozen people.

It seemed like a random selection, but in fact, these were the most reputable among the group of Affairs Officers, each able to gather a following.

Besides these, Shen Peishen also brought Lin Yu along, but did not have Cheng Liu or Wang Mubei follow.

The former did not need to occupy a spot inside, while the latter probably had no interest in seeing Bai Xiaosheng inside.

Feng Li, leading Shen Peishen and the twenty people, entered the room. Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were already inside; upon seeing Shen Peishen, they simply nodded their heads, their greetings perfunctory.

”Is Senior Affairs Officer Xiaosheng inside?” Shen Peishen pointed to the inner room door, asking with a smile.

”Yes, our Senior Affairs Officer Xiaosheng is indeed inside,” Lin Weiwei replied.

Shen Peishen nodded, showing no displeasure on his face despite Lin Weiwei’s lack of respect.

Lin Yu, beside Shen Peishen, was somewhat displeased but ultimately did not say anything.

At the moment, the teacher was presenting a congenial and affable image in front of these Affairs Officers.

Being able to tolerate insignificance is the ultimate demonstration of good manners and charisma!

The Affairs Officers who followed in, naturally recognizing Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, nodded their heads and greeted them warmly.

”These people have gone mad, why are they so enthusiastic toward Bai Xiaosheng’s assistants, even more so than toward the teacher!” Lin Yu was incredulous.

”Let’s go, follow me to see Elder Xia. Everyone, be gentle and don’t make any noise,” Shen Peishen reminded.

It’s essential to keep up appearances.

Although Shen Peishen appeared amiable and pleasant, in his heart he was silently reciting:

”Bai Xiaosheng, we’re finally going to meet!”

”This time, you’re coming back from outside to the headquarters. My turf!”

”Now, just watch how I’ll pressure you step by step and strip you of your actual power! I’m going to make you take a long vacation!”
