Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2321: Chapter 1760: A Guest Arrives

Ma Xiaoxiao was captured by Gan, and her brother and his accomplices were all subdued. Chen Feiqiu’s crisis was resolved with the help of Bai Xiaosheng and his team.

Chen Feiqiu, after being untied, grimaced and rubbed his wrists, stretching his ankles.

”I say, next time you take hostages, could you be gentler? This harsh treatment is inhumane!” Chen Feiqiu looked indignant, condemning Ma Xiaoxiao.

Will there even be a next time...

Is it really okay to offer such advice...

Bai Xiaosheng and his friends found it amusing.

Ma Xiaoxiao’s wrist was held by Gan, who was actively showing off, completely oblivious to her charms.

Ma Xiaoxiao winced in pain and kept struggling to feel a bit better.

Hearing Chen Feiqiu’s words, Ma Xiaoxiao quickly forced a smile and said, ”Brother Fei, it’s not what you think. There’s been a misunderstanding! We just... just wanted to borrow some money from you to solve our immediate troubles. We truly had no intention of harming you.”

Ma Xiaoxiao blinked her beautiful eyes, looking pitifully at Chen Feiqiu, trying to defend herself.

Nearby, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but chuckle, casting a teasing glance, ”You’ve already kidnapped and tied him up here, yet you say there’s no malice. This is the first time I’ve heard of such a way to borrow money.”

Knowing she couldn’t argue back, Ma Xiaoxiao quickly said, ”It was my brother... It was all them. They said they wanted to meet Brother Fei, so I brought him here. Who would have thought they wanted to kidnap! I truly had nothing to do with it! Even though I couldn’t stop them, I definitely wouldn’t let Brother Fei get harmed!”

This woman actually started clearing herself, pushing the blame onto others.

Lucky for her, her brother’s group was dazed and moaning, not hearing these words, or they’d be furious.

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, not arguing with her, and turned to look at Chen Feiqiu.

”If you had just asked me directly for help, I wouldn’t have minded lending you money, even considering not asking for it back. But kidnapping me—this is tolerable—” Chen Feiqiu said indignantly to Ma Xiaoxiao, ”You’re insulting my intelligence with such explanations! Intolerable!”

Ma Xiaoxiao’s face immediately fell, as she was about to say something, but Chen Feiqiu didn’t give her a chance, shouting, ”No more talking, Gan, call the police!”

In the end, Bai Xiaosheng and the others helped Chen Feiqiu call the police, providing them with detailed location information.

Chen Feiqiu and Gan stayed there, waiting for the police to arrive.

Seeing the inevitable outcome, Ma Xiaoxiao’s face turned pale, collapsing with sobs, whether truly afraid or just acting, it was impossible to tell.

Fortunately, no one paid her any attention.

Bai Xiaosheng pulled Chen Feiqiu aside and said, ”I have urgent matters to attend to at home, and I need to hurry and handle them. I’ll leave my colleague here to assist you, just in case. I’ll leave first, and we’ll get in touch later.”

Honestly, Bai Xiaosheng wanted to avoid trouble and leave early.

After all, as the Greater China Region Executive President of Zhenbei Group, it would be undesirable to end up in the news and attract a bunch of reporters for something like this.

Of course, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t directly explain his identity or the reasons for his inability to stay to Chen Feiqiu, mainly to avoid loose talk from Ma Xiaoxiao and her people.

”Alright, take care of your business. With your friend here, we can ensure nothing goes wrong,” Chen Feiqiu said, nodding without any doubts.

So, Bai Xiaosheng gave Lei Ying some last words before leading Lin Weiwei away.

Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei, without pressing matters to attend to at the company, took half an hour to find the pastry shop they originally intended to visit.

Upon arrival, they discovered a long queue of mostly young people, who had come to the shop known for its popularity on social media.

They queued at the end for an hour and a half before it was their turn, only to find the pastries sold out and new ones not ready yet.

Having come this far and queued already, they had to endure the wait patiently, spending a total of two hours to buy three servings of signature pastries and finally headed back home.

As they arrived at the headquarters entrance, they coincidentally saw Lei Ying getting out of a taxi, with everyone having arrived at headquarters.

”You went to buy pastries... only now returning?”

”You finished recording the testimony?”

The three were taken aback upon meeting.

As they walked inside, Lei Ying conveyed Chen Feiqiu’s gratitude to Bai Xiaosheng, saying, ”That young man expressed he wants to treat you to a meal before leaving Linshen to properly thank you, since you saved him—otherwise, he might have faced life-threatening danger.”

”Didn’t you tell him it was just a small effort from us?” Bai Xiaosheng laughed, ”Actually, it was you who acted; strictly speaking, you’re his real savior.”

Lei Ying chuckled, ”Wasn’t I following your lead? The credit should be yours.”

”This is an invitation from a future chieftain, we should honor it,” Lin Weiwei joked next to them, ”Make sure he treats us to a grand dinner.”

Lin Weiwei’s mention of ”future chieftain” seems exaggerated.

A chieftain is a tribal leader, and the size of tribes varies, so their power and status differ significantly.

Given Bai Xiaosheng’s current wealth and status, he wouldn’t seriously consider turning Chen Feiqiu into a resource for him.

Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying naturally understood it was a joke, so they laughed, ”Hearing you say this, we must go.”

”Indeed, for international friendship.”

With laughter, the three headed upstairs.

On their way, they encountered Feng Li, striding quickly with a phone in hand, seemingly about to make a call.

”Mr. Bai, I was just about to call you. I didn’t expect you all to be back!” Feng Li smiled upon seeing Bai Xiaosheng, put away the phone, and hurried over to greet Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

Feng Li is very professional and formal when greeting at headquarters, but she spoke freely without restraint with Bai Xiaosheng and his friends.

After all, she was friends with Bai Xiaosheng and his team.

”You were looking for me? Is there anything wrong?” Bai Xiaosheng asked upon hearing Feng Li.

”Well, a visitor has come to see you, and with Elder Xia not around, Mr. Li Haofeng is currently entertaining them,” Feng Li explained.

A visitor?

Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes gleamed with curiosity as he asked, ”Who is it, do you know?”

With Bai Xiaosheng’s position as the Greater China Region Executive President of Zhenbei Group, a visit to him, coupled with Mr. Li Haofeng hosting, must be from an industry notable.

”It’s Han Zizhi, the boss of Zhizhi Live,” Feng Li said.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s puzzled expression, Feng Li immediately added for clarification, ”It’s a tech company, primarily operating a short video community platform. You might not have heard of the boss Han Zizhi, but you should recognize his father, Han He.”

Han He?

This name wasn’t unfamiliar to Bai Xiaosheng; he’d heard it multiple times, though without any current connection.

In fact, on the Forbes Fortune list, Han He from Han Yewanhe Group wasn’t inferior to Lu Yun, even surpassing him and Dong Tianlu in some years. Though the differences weren’t significant.

Han He’s son, huh...

Bai Xiaosheng’s mind raced, immediately recalling information about this Han Zizhi.

In just a thought, Bai Xiaosheng had grasped some understanding of him.

He was a man around Bai Xiaosheng’s age, exceptionally capable, considered a business genius by financial media.

Utilizing the Han family’s wealth and connections, Han Zizhi established a strong live and short video platform, occupying a significant market share in the industry.

Additionally, he vigorously expanded the ecosystem under his brand, diversifying into electronics, toy manufacturing, clothing, portals, e-commerce... Involving dozens of areas, with rumors of ongoing collaboration with the automotive industry, hinting at launching new electric vehicles within the year.

This person is passionate about trends and chasing opportunities, truly bold and daring.

Yet, with such a broad business scope, are there no issues...

Bai Xiaosheng pondered, feeling somewhat skeptical.

Some of Han Zizhi’s ventures were beyond ”reasonable” boundaries.

”Shall I inform Mr. Li to dismiss them if you decide not to meet?”

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s silent deliberation, Feng Li mistook his hesitation as unwillingness to meet, tentatively offering.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying also looked at Bai Xiaosheng.

”Let’s meet,” Bai Xiaosheng said, recovering, smiling gently at Feng Li and the others.

”Honestly, I’m quite curious about this unexpected visit—what’s their purpose!”
