Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1766: Chapter 1412: You’re in Big Trouble!

Berman, Henry, and Gian walked together once more towards the interrogation room to meet Lai Yin.

It wasn’t because Berman had anything left to say to Lai Yin, but he wanted to use his display of power over Lai Yin to ”reassure” his two allies.

He wanted them to know he wasn’t at all afraid of that man named Bai.

After Bai Xiaosheng’s perfunctory ”warning” and departure, all three were left uncertain. When Berman stopped thinking about it, he noticed his two allies looked uneasy, as if worried about the trouble Bai Xiaosheng might cause them.

Berman thumped his chest and assured them not to worry, that Bai Xiaosheng was merely bluffing, and he hadn’t even paid him any mind.

However, it was clear that these words had little effect.

Berman was silent at the worst possible moment, leading Henry and Gian to assume that he, too, had reservations about Bai.

Once this feeling sets in, it’s hard to dispel.

So Berman thought, why not throw his weight around in front of Lai Yin to show these two that he didn’t care about Bai at all!

Berman’s way of thinking is indeed quite unique...

Returning to the interrogation room, they expelled the questioning personnel inside.

Berman sat arrogantly in front of Lai Yin, coldly sneering, his expression exaggerated.

”Mr. Berman, are you alright?” Lai Yin couldn’t help but frown and ask.

How come it seemed that after going out, this person seemed to have a few screws loose...

”I’m here to specifically tell you that your friend, that Bai fellow, has left!” Berman sneered.

Lai Yin’s eyes flickered, and he snorted coldly, ”You won’t even let us meet? As expected, Mr. Berman, you’re afraid of him!”

Berman was caught off guard before he could show his authority, and he retorted with a frown, ”Afraid? Afraid of him? In Haru City, I’m the next mayor, don’t you know that! In Haru, no matter what his background is, he’s the one who should fear me!”

Berman was infuriated by the notion that he was afraid of Bai Xiaosheng.

He wasn’t there to hear that, on the contrary, he was there to dispel such an ”absurd” thought.

A young man from Huaxia, thinking he can run rampant in Europe?

He’ll have to bow to me, in Haru City, I’m the biggest! Berman was filled with this notion.

”If you’re not afraid of him, why are you so agitated?” Lai Yin taunted Berman with a smile.

Berman’s eye twitched, ”Where do you see me agitated?”

Unable to handle the surname Bai, and now being mocked by Lai Yin, Berman was utterly frustrated.

Lai Yin smiled silently, stoking Berman’s anger to the limit.

”It was that Bai fellow, he left after saying a few things! At least he’s self-aware, even if he wanted to see you, we wouldn’t have agreed! He’s too naive, thinking he can threaten us with words? Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous! Honestly, I think he got scared! Otherwise, why would he run off!” Berman shouted angrily.

”Mr. Berman, you say you’re not agitated, but you’re practically shouting.” Lai Yin, instead, laughed, tilting his head to look at Berman and the others, ”That guy never wastes words, but every word he says comes true. Do you think he left to put his threat into action? Have you thought about...”

Lai Yin leaned forward, getting closer to Berman, and affirmed with a smile, ”He said he’d do it! You, and those two over there, you have big trouble ahead!”

Berman held his breath, glaring fiercely at Lai Yin.

He was there to flaunt his power, not to be warned, educated, or intimidated!

Behind Berman, Henry and Gian both had visibly unpleasant expressions.

Lai Yin saw it and laughed coldly in his mind, feeling satisfied.

He didn’t know exactly what Bai Xiaosheng had said, but it was clearly a threat, and Berman’s group was obviously shaken; otherwise, they wouldn’t have come to him to throw their weight around.

Let’s see if I can’t scare you!

Lai Yin cheerfully looked at the three of them.

Despite being a highly educated person, he also had a sharp tongue and a malicious side.

Berman was almost ready to flip the table, but seeing Lai Yin’s gloating face, he suddenly realized they’d been played by the man in front of him.

Lai Yin wasn’t stone or wood; he was a living person and wouldn’t just sit there waiting to be intimidated.

”Mr. Lai Yin, if you have such confidence in him, then keep it up! With my status, position, and wealth, if a few words from him scare me, I’ll admit defeat!” Berman calmed himself, looked at Lai Yin with a sullen gaze, and coldly sneered, ”Didn’t he talk about throwing money, hiring the best lawyers, investigation teams, getting the media involved to stir up trouble... So what! We can still keep you locked in here, seal off your lab, we can afford to drag this out, but can your experiments, those specimens, afford it?!”

Berman fought back.

Lai Yin finally understood what Bai Xiaosheng intended to do to save him, but according to Berman, they planned to withstand the pressure and drag it out on their side.

Lai Yin felt a sudden tightness in his chest, his gaze passing over Berman and landing on Henry and Gian’s faces, solemnly asking, ”Is this your plan too, to withstand public pressure?”

Henry and Gian exchanged a glance.

At this point, even if they were worried, did they have a choice?

”The next mayor will definitely be me!” Berman interjected confidently, ”Once I take office, even if Henry and the others are demoted, I’ll ensure they’re promoted again, with even higher positions!”
