Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2915: Chapter 2029: A Mind as Cunning as a Demon (Part 2)

”I believe you will agree.”

Bai Xiaosheng spoke leisurely, ”I could have chosen not to mention this matter. Wen Yan and I could have coordinated secretly, plotted meticulously, and turned you against us to enhance our chances of success.”

”After Vice Chairman Morgan’s downfall, we would then turn our eyes on you to settle the score! Everything we agreed on privately is not fit to be exposed! Moreover, you broke the trust first.”

”By then, would an executive be bold enough to challenge Headquarters’ Surveillance Department? Even the Vice Chairmen would not consent! You would be isolated and without assistance, and when matters reach that point, questions of right and wrong no longer matter; the group needs to maintain its power and reputation, and we have an eighty to ninety percent chance of victory!”

”And before that, I did mention that you were kept in the dark, and when you realize everything, it would be too late!”

”Even if you concealed Vice Chairman Morgan’s plan, although I cannot guess his exact strategy, I know this time he might risk everything to eliminate me, considering Wen Yan possesses a status equal to a Vice Chairman, making it difficult to deal with.”

After saying this, Bai Xiaosheng paused slightly, and his voice changed.

”But when it truly comes to that point, Wen Yan will certainly realize that you have betrayed us, and he will turn around and focus all his efforts on you! Even if I no longer hold any position at Zhenbei Group, I could serve as his strategist, helping him to deal with you without charge! In that scenario, Vice Chairman Morgan could not protect you!”

In his final words, Bai Xiaosheng spoke with a chilling tone.

”You are threatening me!” Mrs. Margery’s gaze turned fierce, and she coldly snorted.

Bai Xiaosheng exhaled slowly, shifted his expression, and smiled, ”That is not the case. Also, if I were threatening you here, what would be the point? Wouldn’t you agree? As I mentioned, there is really no need for me to discuss any of this with you. The fact that I’m doing so now indicates some candor on my part, a certain posture. I’m slightly diminishing your gain, which you could view as a subtle retribution for concealing matters, yet it signifies that we won’t dwell on past deceptions and still wish to collaborate with you.”

Such eloquence, managing to say it all inside and out.

Mrs. Margery appeared with such an expression, soon followed by a mocking smile at the corners of her mouth, ”Your words indeed resemble giving a slap and then a sweet date, carrot and stick!”

Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t described it this way, but as Mrs. Margery put it, he did not object.

”However, you did certainly get one thing wrong.” Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, ”Everything I just said was the stick, and what I’m about to tell you is the carrot, the extra benefit prepared for you.”

Mrs. Margery’s gaze flickered with surprise and confusion while looking at Bai Xiaosheng.

At this point, she increasingly found herself unable to understand this young man.

Despite his young age, he’s as cunning and deceptive as a thousand-year-old fox, impossible to deceive.

Mrs. Margery could see the shadow of another person—Bai Zhenbei, the legendary figure in the Chinese community, who built the Zhenbei Group from scratch, currently holding six large regions globally, with thousands of enterprises big and small, countless top managers and entrepreneurs, an entity of admiration like a towering mountain.

Back when facing Mr. Bai Zhenbei, there was always a sensation as if any scheme would be seen through.

Mrs. Margery could not help but lament, if only the old chairman were still around, Vice Chairman Morgan and his lot wouldn’t dare act so brazenly.

But, in the end, it is another era now; the old chairman has already vanished without a trace, with no information on whether he is still alive.

Mrs. Margery sighed at the notion, and then calmly turned to Bai Xiaosheng, asking, ”What precisely does Mr. Bai mean by the extra benefit?”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled slightly and pointed to the door. Mrs. Margery glanced there and looked back at Bai Xiaosheng perplexedly.

”Right at the door.” Bai Xiaosheng softly said.

Mrs. Margery realized, her eyes subtly narrowed, she stared at Bai Xiaosheng, questioning, ”What exactly do you know?”

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t possibly bluff randomly without knowing anything!

”I studied face-reading under a master in Huaxia, face reading, you know, is a fascinating aspect of Huaxia culture.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled, ”To explain it scientifically or through high technology, it’s advanced facial analysis, including likeness comparisons. I’m quite naturally talented in this area, while others may see nothing unusual, I can discern even the slightest differences or similarities.”

At this point, Bai Xiaosheng seemed to drift off topic.

Mrs. Margery, however, patiently continued listening without interruption.

What Bai Xiaosheng mentioned was not mere mystification; with Red Lotus at his side, he could indeed notice things beyond ordinary perception.

”In certain angles and aspects, Miss Clark resembles you greatly.” Bai Xiaosheng softly said.

Mrs. Margery’s pupils shifted for a fraction of a second.

Ordinarily hard to discern face to face, Bai Xiaosheng kept observing her every change, Red Lotus continually activated tracking analysis modes, ensuring any minor shifts, imperceptible to the naked eye, were not overlooked.

It seems my speculation is indeed accurate!

Bai Xiaosheng thought inwardly, that Miss Clark is undoubtedly Mrs. Margery’s illegitimate daughter!

Thus, someone like Miss Clark, seemingly ”having no background,” could control such a strong enterprise within the Sixth Business Division and maintain herself as a ”pure element,” free from any ties with Vice Chairman Morgan’s family and the Caroline Family.

Any stream has a powerful source.

It was precisely due to this that Miss Clark could penetrate the top four candidate list for Executive President of the Sixth Business Division, with two merely for contrast, and the other most highly regarded being Kaleb, who is Vice Chairman Morgan’s protégé.
