Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2263: Chapter 1714: One Versus Three

Even in the face of such a crisis, Bai Xiaosheng remained composed, without a trace of panic or anger on his face.

This aura of calmness, it must be said, is truly astounding.

The key point is that he is so young, yet possesses the poise to remain unflustered even if a mountain collapses in front of him. One wonders what heights he will reach in another twenty years.

Truly extraordinary!

Nick, Ma Weiqian, and Jin Yunxuan all thought the same thing.

Viewing Bai Xiaosheng as if he were a cornered beast, his calm demeanor oddly instilled a sense of pressure in them, a vague discomfort.

”Mr. Bai, the evidence is conclusive. Is there anything you want to say to us?” Nick sneered.

He was trying to take the initiative, attempting to counteract Bai Xiaosheng’s unsettling presence.

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t respond, instead walked to the side, pulled over a chair, and sat down confidently, crossing his legs.

Nick, Ma Weiqian, and Jin Yunxuan watched this.

He was sitting while they were standing, it was uncomfortable.

Should they also pull up a chair to sit?

But that felt clumsy and awkward.

The three felt even more uneasy.

”It was Caroline who orchestrated this against me.” Bai Xiaosheng looked at the three calmly, ”You have neither the motive nor the capability to deal with me.”

Bai Xiaosheng was openly contemptuous, dismissing them.

The disparity in social status aggravated their discomfort.

Their eyes subtly flickered, a slight shift in their hearts.

”Mr. Bai, what nonsense are you talking? Clearly, this incident is all because you drank too much at the party and got infatuated by a beauty. You’re trying to involve others now, uttering nonsense.” Nick naturally wouldn’t admit any connection to Caroline, he didn’t even mention her name.

Ma Weiqian also had a ”I won’t say anything” look on his face.

Jin Yunxuan didn’t speak, but pretended to look at Bai Xiaosheng disdainfully.

Even in front of Nick, she was so indulgent, not like a subordinate but more like a colleague.

Bai Xiaosheng silently noticed this.

”Is the soundproofing good here?” Bai Xiaosheng placed his hands on his crossed knee, glanced around the living room, and asked casually.

Nick didn’t expect Bai Xiaosheng to suddenly digress to such a topic, momentarily stunned.

”This is a suite only available to top-tier hotel members, the soundproofing is excellent. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be yelling so loudly earlier, it hurts my throat.” Jin Yunxuan snorted coldly.

This man also gave her a sense of oppression, she had to speak to counteract that discomfort.

Nick frowned at Jin Yunxuan, seemingly reproaching her for speaking too much.

Jin Yunxuan wasn’t afraid, muttering, ”What I said is the truth.”

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Jin Yunxuan and smiled.

He liked this personality.

It was a good point of breakthrough.

”Miss Jin, I don’t think you’re merely Nick’s secretary, are you? How could he casually entrust such an important role to a mere secretary?” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, ”If I’m not mistaken, you’re also close to Miss Caroline, aren’t you?”

Jin Yunxuan gave Bai Xiaosheng a sweet smile, ”I did just transfer to be Mr. Nick’s secretary, it’s been just a few days.”

These two were actually starting a conversation.

Nick’s brows furrowed deeply, ready to admonish Jin Yunxuan to speak no more.

”Mr. Nick, those people standing outside, they’re all your confidants, right?” Bai Xiaosheng spoke before Nick, asking him.

Nick narrowed his eyes at Bai Xiaosheng, ”Mr. Bai, is this chit-chat what you wanted to talk about? In that case, I don’t think we need to continue.”

Ma Weiqian couldn’t interject, nodding repeatedly.

Honestly, Ma Weiqian always wanted to muster courage before Bai Xiaosheng, but he always failed. Hearing Bai Xiaosheng speak with such presence, he couldn’t help but deflate.

At this moment, Ma Weiqian wished the conversation would end soon, waiting for the police to arrive and hand Bai Xiaosheng over to them would settle everything.

No need for extra complications!

Unfortunately, among these people, he was the one with the least say.

Facing Nick’s attempt to terminate the discussion, Bai Xiaosheng smiled, ”This room is soundproof, and everyone outside is your people. I’m sitting here being watched by you three. What I want to ask is, is there something you can’t speak freely about?”

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head disdainfully, ”The people Caroline employs, why are they so—timid!”

Bai Xiaosheng emphasized the last two words heavily, then looked at Jin Yunxuan and smiled, ”Not as good as this Miss Jin.”

Jin Yunxuan heard this and couldn’t help but show a hint of pride.

Nick’s face turned dark blue, intending to open the door and end the conversation.

”Miss Jin, then I’ll have to ask you to convey some words to Caroline.” Bai Xiaosheng said languidly.

Nick just took a step, then stopped again.

He also wanted to hear what Bai Xiaosheng had to say.

Jin Yunxuan nodded and said to Bai Xiaosheng, ”Gladly, but you need to hurry, I think the police will be here soon.”

Bai Xiaosheng nodded slightly, said leisurely to Jin Yunxuan, ”How did things get to this point, is it really necessary? Can’t we sit down and talk properly? Is Caroline after favorable terms, concessions, or my global commercial resources? She can just discuss with me, it doesn’t have to be this uncompromising, does it? Those past events were all misunderstandings! Though I rejected her last time, that doesn’t mean there’s no room for negotiation. Is it really necessary to escalate to this point? Hmm!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s words were practically a veiled plea to Caroline, suggesting they smooth things over with cooperation and benefits.

His expression no longer appeared so ”assertive.”

Jin Yunxuan was taken aback, then chuckled lightly.

”Mr. Bai, I wondered why you were so composed, turns out you were planning to save yourself using your resources.” Jin Yunxuan chuckled, ”Don’t you think it’s a bit late? If Miss Caroline has decided to act against you, she won’t easily change her mind because of this!”

Jin Yunxuan thought Bai Xiaosheng had yielded, couldn’t help but say so.

Next to her, Nick’s expression suddenly changed, yelling at Jin Yunxuan, ”Stop it, Jin Yunxuan, have you gone mad bringing up Miss Caroline!”

Ma Weiqian’s face also changed.

Jin Yunxuan shrugged, seemingly disdainful of Nick’s nervousness, ”Mr. Bai is right, this room is soundproof, outside are our people, what can’t be said? Anyway, the three of us are deeply involved, who can impart anything outside?”

Jin Yunxuan spoke, glancing at Ma Weiqian.

Ma Weiqian quickly laughed, ”Definitely not!”

”Hmph!” Nick grunted in a dark voice.

This woman sent over was indeed accustomed to staying beside Miss Caroline, proud and indulgent.

”No wonder even Mr. Bai couldn’t tolerate you, Mr. Nick, you’re being overly cautious!” Jin Yunxuan sneered.

Nick couldn’t be bothered to respond to her.

”Mr. Bai, is that all you want to relay to Miss Caroline, just begging? I will certainly pass it on, but I can’t guarantee she’ll let you off because of it.” Jin Yunxuan spoke lazily to Bai Xiaosheng.

By now, she felt as though she were standing above this man.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

That earlier ”pleading” expression was swept away, replaced again by his usual calmness.

”Of course not, the words I wish to relay to Miss Caroline consists only of one sentence, Miss Jin, please ensure it’s communicated.” Bai Xiaosheng said.

At this moment, the door was knocked.

The police had already arrived.

Bai Xiaosheng said each word distinctly to Jin Yunxuan, ”Tell Caroline—”

”If this continues, she will bear the consequences!”
