Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1455: Chapter 1286 Advancing Again!

After three hours, the accountability session for Shen Peishen officially concluded.

The host was Soruns, President of the Europe Region. The ”jury” consisted of five Executive Officers from the Asia Region. Witnessed by two senior executives from the headquarters’ departments. In the end, everyone unanimously concluded—

The facts of the case against Shen Peishen were clear and the evidence was conclusive enough to draft a disposition report.

After the meeting, this report will immediately be submitted to the headquarters for the final review.

However, according to the procedure, Soruns and the two senior executives must also have a final conversation alone with Shen Peishen.

Shen Peishen also needs to sign the disposition document regarding him.

During this process, everyone except Soruns, the two senior executives, and Shen Peishen had to wait outside.

After being informed by Soruns, everyone left the conference room and stood in the corridor, quietly waiting.

Everyone felt a sense of lament to some extent.

An executive president of a major region, though just a stand-in, is like a ”warlord” of a region. Yet, the possibility of facing imprisonment was truly astonishing.

Considering Shen Peishen’s age, his gray hair, and the many years he endured to reach that position, the sacrifices and efforts he made are imaginable. In the end, however, it all amounts to nothing as he now faces introspection in prison. It is truly a pity!

Life is like this; once a wrong path is chosen, one must bear the corresponding consequences.

Bai Xiaosheng stood at the door, gazing at the conference room door, his heart filled with sighs.

The skills, abilities, and scheming of Shen Peishen should have been directed towards more fitting directions.

Had Elder Xia retired due to health reasons, Shen Peishen would have truly become the one in power, perhaps even leading the Greater China Region to greater heights.

How did it come to this!

What a pity!

Bai Xiaosheng silently sighed.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying stood by Bai Xiaosheng’s side.

Lin Weiwei suppressed her inner joy.

Lei Ying remained as calm as ever, which might stem from the temperament he developed during his earlier battlefield experiences.

Fang Beijun, Sophia, Ryan, and Chu Ruolan stood closer to Bai Xiaosheng. Whatever thoughts they might have had, they all kept silent, showing a sense of respect for the downfall of this once formidable character, Shen Peishen.

Yu Xingyao stood at the back of the crowd, continuously shifting his stance, seemingly uncomfortable in any position.

Lin Yu, Cheng Liu, and Shen Peishen’s associates had already been taken away by the people from headquarters.

Being Shen Peishen’s close associates, they would inevitably have to undergo investigation.

The best outcome for them might be termination. Even someone like Cheng Liu might face imprisonment.

When those two were taken away, they looked utterly dejected, barely able to lift their feet off the ground with every step.

They didn’t look at Bai Xiaosheng nor did they utter any harsh words on the spot.

Bai Xiaosheng had opposed them on many fronts, even causing them significant setbacks at times; they held grudges and talked about revenge. However, faced with such a predicament, they had no thoughts of confronting Bai Xiaosheng anymore, only concern for themselves.

Inside the conference room, the final conversation was taking place.

One might have thought it would take some time, but unexpectedly, the conference room door opened before half an hour had passed.

Soruns was the first to walk out, followed by two senior executives.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Soruns, his gaze questioning.

The others did the same.

After emerging, Soruns looked at Bai Xiaosheng, and then at the conference room, softly saying, ”Shen Peishen said he wants to see you. Then he’ll sign.”

The two senior executives from the headquarters also looked at Bai Xiaosheng.

In fact, even if Shen Peishen refuses to sign, it doesn’t matter much; the report can still be submitted.

However, Shen Peishen, after all, is a veteran of the group, and despite the unforgivable mistakes he committed, he has also contributed significantly.

This last ”wish” of his, isn’t too excessive and it can be fulfilled.

Bai Xiaosheng pondered briefly and then nodded.

”Alright, I’ll go see him!”

The Red Lotus hadn’t indicated the task completion, nor had it signaled a successful upgrade, likely due to Shen Peishen not having signed yet.

Of course, once the formal disciplinary document from headquarters is issued, Bai Xiaosheng’s task would be successful anyway.

However, Bai Xiaosheng genuinely wanted to see Shen Peishen.

It was also to bring a closure to everything.

After all, regardless of Shen Peishen’s ways of doing things, he was, after all, decent to him.

Soruns, seeing Bai Xiaosheng agreed, smiled and nodded, stepping aside to clear the doorway.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Bai Xiaosheng stepped into the conference room.

Soruns personally closed the door.

Despite everything, Shen Peishen was once a formidable figure, deserving a final bit of respect.

Bai Xiaosheng entered the conference room.

Seeing the vast empty room, with just one hunched figure sitting over there, like a wooden sculpture or clay statue, a feeling of indescribable desolation pervaded.

Bai Xiaosheng walked over.

Shen Peishen turned his head slightly, and upon seeing Bai Xiaosheng approaching, gestured with his mouth towards the seat opposite him.

”Let’s chat.” Shen Peishen said.

He no longer kept his back straight, his gaze no longer sharp, nor was he as imposing as before.

The ambition to hold power firmly within his grasp, and the desire for higher positions seemed to have completely vanished in the face of the final outcome.

It also took away the image-conscious, dignified Shen Peishen, leaving only an ordinary elderly man of his age.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded, walked over, and sat opposite to Shen Peishen.

Shen Peishen scrutinized Bai Xiaosheng, and Bai Xiaosheng looked back at him.

The two just looked at each other.

Much like the time long ago when Shen Peishen invited Bai Xiaosheng for a meeting.

Back then, one was an ambitious Senior Affairs Officer and the other was an emerging New-type Affairs Officer.
