Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1819: Chapter 1439: Is a Lin Family Getting Involved?

Reading the signs is a term that, if not delved into deeply, literally means observing what others say and their expressions, and gauging their intentions.

Of course, a more advanced form of reading the signs involves using some verbal guidance to deduce what the other party doesn’t want to say or is trying to hide.

Some people are innately skilled at this, such as Luo Zitian.

However, it’s evident that Luo Zitian didn’t expect to be caught off guard today. Bai Xiaosheng’s ability to control, judge, and analyze micro-expressions is worlds apart from his!

Even without using the Red Lotus System for analysis, Bai Xiaosheng can accurately determine the other’s psychological activities with a precision rate as high as seventy or eighty percent. If in contact for a long time, it’s practically like mind-reading.

Bai Xiaosheng was the first to sense Luo Zitian’s intentions.

Luo Zitian asked about Bai Xiaosheng’s relationship with Tengyun. Bai Xiaosheng said there was no relationship, which was evidently untrue. After all, people from the Lu Family are all Bai Xiaosheng’s friends, Lu Yun is even regarded as an elder by him, and Tengyun is also a key partner of Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region. There is a relationship, a deep one.

However, even with a small lie, Bai Xiaosheng’s ability to control micro-expressions could perfectly cover it, leaving no trace.

Listening to Bai Xiaosheng say he has no relationship with Tengyun, Luo Zitian trusted his own insight, but still felt a bit skeptical.

Logically, even though Zhengdong Province did not marry the Tengyun heiress, their romantic relationship is not a secret. Zhengdong Province’s mishaps were due to Tengyun, allowing them to take advantage of the situation. And with Shengsheng International facing difficulties, Tengyun and Lu Yun couldn’t possibly ignore the situation, not offering help.

The Yuema, Beifeng, and Haoyu groups predicted this, patiently waited for Tengyun to divert forces, and attacked at those points.

But now, the information Luo Zitian received suggested that Tengyun didn’t come to aid, and who Zhengdong Province brought in were merely his own friends?

Is Lu Yun ruthless enough to sacrifice his allies, or is there another plan?

Does Zhengdong Province hold no resentment towards Lu Yun or Tengyun at the moment?

Who exactly is Lin Sheng, this friend Zhengdong Province claims to have?

For a moment, Luo Zitian’s thoughts raced.

Meanwhile, he couldn’t ignore one question: could he have judged incorrectly?

Compared to Luo Zitian’s doubts, Bai Xiaosheng easily noticed his mental changes from the subtle changes in his gaze.

As it’s mentioned, they aren’t on the same level in terms of reading the signs.

”Mr. Lin, you aren’t very honest,” Luo Zitian suddenly shook his head and deliberately expressed disappointment, ”You say you have no relationship with Tengyun, but I cannot believe it.”

”Pardon me for being blunt, but I’m quite ignorant of Lin Sheng’s fame. Given your age, even if you’re talented, it’s difficult to get involved as a new shareholder in Shengsheng International without family, background, or resources to support. This involves a significant amount of money, and I believe our Mr. Zheng wouldn’t seek small investments.”

”I do know of a few powerful families with the surname Lin, but they’re unlikely to enter the Tengyun-Yuema rivalry. Even if you’re from one of these families, you might not have their support.”

”As I frankly acknowledge that I’m from Yuema, why don’t you just admit you’re from Tengyun? What can I do to you then? You’re under no pressure to deny it, and if you do, it becomes rather disgraceful!”

Luo Zitian’s expression became more mocking and disdainful as he spoke the final sentence.

He did it deliberately.

Few young people can endure this kind of provocation.

Lin Sheng just needs to reveal a tiny flaw, just one, and he’ll be able to break through and uncover secrets they can’t keep hidden.

”I truly don’t wish to answer this question. I have no relationship with Tengyun, whether you choose to believe it or not,” Bai Xiaosheng remained unmoved and denied again, frowning, ”Mr. Luo, are you sure that the Lin Family you know is truly the same one as me?”

Bai Xiaosheng spoke proudly, ”We want to intervene because we’re not afraid of anyone! We have that ability!”

In Luo Zitian’s eyes, at the moment Bai Xiaosheng spoke, he appeared full of pride, a pride belonging to a family.

Could it be, what Lin Sheng said is true!

He has no relationship with Tengyun!

That Zhengdong Province can call him because he trusts him to solve the problems?!

Most crucially, which Lin Family is trying to enter?!

Luo Zitian felt alarmed.

A Lin Family with the qualifications and ability, unafraid of the Yuema system...

There exists one!

And their origin is huge!

Could it be this young man is indeed from that Lin surname...

Luo Zitian scrutinized Bai Xiaosheng again.

Bai Xiaosheng had already gleaned this from Luo Zitian’s response and smiled, sipping his tea, exuding some of his aura.

Serving as the executive president of Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region, Bai Xiaosheng himself is nearly at the Tengyun Yuema bigwig level, with an unbelievably strong presence, previously hidden, making Luo Zitian feel hardly anything.

But at this moment, the more Luo Zitian observed, the more unsettling it became.

This young man is truly extraordinary!

He must come from some powerful family!

Luo Zitian immediately made a judgment.

”Actually, Mr. Luo was right about one thing,” Bai Xiaosheng placed down his teacup, looked up with a smile.

”Ah, what did Mr. Lin say?” Luo Zitian couldn’t help but asked in surprise, as he was a bit distracted.

Bai Xiaosheng casually continued with a smile, ”Mr. Luo said that in the business world, we should speak business; making money is what makes sense. I find this statement very reasonable! I came today because I’ll be investing in Shengsheng International shares tomorrow, it’s for making money! Such a great opportunity shouldn’t be missed! Although this might seem like taking advantage of friends, after all, it’s better to keep resources within the family! My intention, or our intention, isn’t to become enemies with anyone!”

Luo Zitian stared at Bai Xiaosheng, nodding lightly.

”Of course, if someone sees us as enemies...” Bai Xiaosheng smiled meaningfully and said seriously, ”then we will be a worthy adversary!”

Seeing the sharpness and confidence shining in Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, Luo Zitian couldn’t help but squint.

Afterwards, Luo Zitian forced a smile, ”Yes, yes, we’re all the same! Seeking wealth, not enemies!”

This ”Lin Family member” Bai Xiaosheng managed to strike fear in Luo Zitian’s heart.

Afterwards, the two chatted a lot.

They touched the Tengyun-Yuema competition but didn’t go deep.

They discussed Shengsheng International, some of which was useful and some useless.

In conclusion, they continued chatting casually.

Luo Zitian seized the opportunity to constantly probe Bai Xiaosheng, while Bai Xiaosheng was doing the same, although the former was unaware.

Luo Zitian delivered some shallow insider information as bait trying to extract more information, but after chatting for a long while, his gains were very small, inevitably feeling disappointed.

”It’s been an hour, Luo Zitian, you’ve almost overstayed!” Over there, Zhengdong Province couldn’t help but coldly snorted and spoke.

He allowed this Luo Zitian to sit and chat with Bai Xiaosheng, but it wasn’t meant to be an endless chat.

Seeing Zhengdong Province’s cold demeanor and impatience, Luo Zitian knew he had overstayed, smiled immediately, ”Well, I’ll excuse myself then, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Lin, I have things to attend to, I’ll take my leave!”

While speaking, Luo Zitian stood up, saying, ”No need to see me off, everyone.”

After speaking, Luo Zitian found the trio of Bai Xiaosheng seated steadily without showing signs of getting up, feeling a bit awkward.

Luckily, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and gave him an out, ”No need to see you off.”

Luo Zitian smiled awkwardly, hurriedly leaving the office with Guo Nan.

As he stepped out, Luo Zitian’s face darkened, his eyes serious, muttering softly, ”Lin Family! Which Lin Family is it?!”

With those words, Luo Zitian left hurriedly with Guo Nan.

In the office, Zhengdong Province looked disdainfully at the door, grumbling to Bai Xiaosheng, ”You really can chat with him! I saw he was always up to something!”

Bai Xiaosheng laughed, ”Actually, if you hadn’t spoken, I would have prompted him to go because we were almost done talking.”

What’s worth chatting about with him? Zhengdong Province wanted to ask.

”Rest assured, what he managed to find out is something I wanted him to know,” Bai Xiaosheng said, ”and I, too, from the bits of conversation just now, obtained some interesting information!”
