Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 345: Chapter 345 Hypnosis_1

Bai Xiaosheng used hypnosis on Hao.

From the moment Hao arrived, Bai Xiaosheng’s every action, including snapping his fingers and his suggestive speech, was all part of the hypnosis.

Actually, hypnosis isn’t as mystical as it seems. For some people with strong wills, it can be quite difficult to employ.

Hao was different. When he rushed over, his face was clearly overly joyous, believing himself to be safe and his guard at its lowest.

Even so, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t just use his voice and language to induce hypnosis; he had many other techniques at his disposal. When he locked eyes with Hao, even the frequency and number of his blinks were a strong suggestion.

These were things ordinary hypnotists couldn’t possibly achieve; Bai Xiaosheng could only reach this level with the help of Red Lotus.

After using it once, Bai Xiaosheng felt his brain foggy and burned, similar to the time he was at the Antique Jade City in Tiannan, when he gambled on stones—that feeling of brain ”overload.”

If I use it a couple more times, my brain might just ”burn out”; never doing this again! Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help muttering to himself.

Luckily, Hao was successfully hypnotized.

Lei Ying’s face turned dark as he stared at Hao.

Meanwhile, Cheng Xiaosi and the others tried to approach, but with a cold glare from Lei Ying, they immediately dared not move.

”It was only through a friend that I found out that the elderly couple had a son, a renowned expert in combat, who, according to reports, took on multiple masters from different countries, one against a dozen or twenty. He had joined the mercenaries and later became a commando.”

Hao’s eyes were blank, his face wore a smile, and he mumbled, ”Doing our line of work, mingling in the underworld, it’s very dangerous, I wanted to find an expert bodyguard as well, so... so I had Cheng Xiaosi look for someone, gradually approaching the old couple, deceiving them into playing the stock market and then encouraging them to borrow money to invest.”

”This elderly couple borrowed from all their relatives and friends, took out all their savings, and even their son’s US dollars from being a mercenary, totaling nine hundred and seventy-five thousand, all given to the investor. Once the investor got the money, he ran away, leaving the couple unable to repay their friends, and in the end, they could only sell their house. However, their house wasn’t worth that much, so I lent them thirty thousand.”

”When Lei Ying returned, I told him the money was borrowed by the old man, and I made him be my bodyguard for three years. This young man is a huge filial son, so naturally, he agreed...”

Hao’s ramblings revealed the truth about the past, and he couldn’t hide the smug look on his face.

”Actually, the investor and the one who bought the house, all those people were found by me! Only Cheng Xiaosi and I knew about this!”

Lei Ying’s face turned ashen instantly, his eyes brimming with murderous intent!

A pair of iron fists clenched with a crackling sound.

He glanced at the dumbstruck Cheng Xiaosi not far away.

Cheng Xiaosi almost knelt down.

He never expected Hao to reveal such a secret in public, the others wore expressions of astonishment, looking at each other in disbelief.

They too had not anticipated that Hao, always known for his loyalty, could be so despicable and shameless, manipulating Lei Ying into servitude for three years using such vile tactics.

And as for what deplorable deeds Hao might have done to them behind the guise of kindness...

Their faces suddenly turned ugly, and their glances towards Cheng Xiaosi became unmistakably hostile.

”Those things, they’re not my fault, it was all Hao’s doing, he ordered me, I was just a runner!” Unable to bear it, Cheng Xiaosi yelled out.

He had confessed!

This essentially confirmed Hao’s crimes.

Lei Ying raised his fist, aiming a punch at Hao’s temple.

Now, he truly wanted to kill this bastard; it was this animal who caused his elderly parents to rent a place outside, ashamed to meet relatives and friends for three years!

It was this bastard who made himself see him as a benefactor, loyally serving him for three years!

This man deserves to die!

Lei Ying could no longer control himself, harboring murderous thoughts.

His fist was only a dozen centimeters away from Hao’s temple when it was deflected by someone’s palm.

Lei Ying looked angrily at the person who interfered.

Bai Xiaosheng’s expression remained calm, his gaze steadfast.

”Do you want to kill him?”

”Forget it, your mom and dad are old, they need their son to see them off in their old age!”

Bai Xiaosheng, looking at Lei Ying, said softly, ”Don’t let white-haired parents send off a black-haired son.”

With a single sentence from Bai Xiaosheng,

Lei Ying, filled with murderous intent, suddenly lost his momentum.

”I’ll handle this matter,” Bai Xiaosheng said, patting Lei Ying’s shoulder with emotion.

This man was also a tragedy, crazed with martial arts, his skills unmatched by anyone, yet ultimately no match for the schemes of the human heart.

Hao, still staring blankly, was unaffected by the life-and-death situation he had just faced.

Bai Xiaosheng reached out and snapped his fingers in front of Hao’s eyes.

”It’s time to wake up.”

Hao’s head drooped, then he looked up blankly, staring at Bai Xiaosheng in astonishment, ”What, what happened to me?”

”You simply told some truths,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile. ”You made it quite clear how you framed Elder Mr. Lei back then.”

At those words, Hao nearly wet himself with fear.

That was the thing he had feared every moment for the past three years, becoming his mental burden.

That was also one of the reasons why Bai Xiaosheng could hypnotize him over this matter!

The heavier the heart knot, the easier it was to be hypnotized.

”What nonsense are you talking about? I, I, I... How could I possibly...” Hao swallowed nervously, glancing at Lei Ying, who was radiating a murderous aura beside him, and retreated in a panic.

”He’s spouting nonsense, Lei Ying, you, you couldn’t possibly believe it, right!” Hao struggled, but his face clearly showed sheer terror.

How could he possibly confess such a thing in front of Lei Ying!

Yet just now, he really felt as if he had been dreaming, unable to recall exactly what he had said, only feeling a great weight lifted from his heart.

”Brother-in-law, just admit it,” Cheng Xiaosi shouted. ”You confessed everything with your own mouth, all the crimes were ordered by you.”

By now, he couldn’t care less about anything else, quickly pushing his own issues onto his brother-in-law.

”Shut up, Cheng Xiaosi, what nonsense are you talking about!” Hao turned around angrily, only to startle when he saw Cheng Xiaosi being held by the men he brought.

Those men were looking at him with unfriendly eyes.

”Hao, we’ll have a good talk about our issues later,” Xiao Liuzi said with a cold huff.

This time, he was truly alone!

Hao was panic-stricken.

”You should be grateful for Lei Ying’s leniency; he didn’t kill you!”

Bai Xiaosheng said coldly, and Hao fell to his knees before Lei Ying, half-heartedly slapping himself while crying out, ”It’s my fault, Lei Ying, you can’t kill me!”

Lei Ying watched him silently.

”Death penalty can be pardoned, but the living crimes are hard to forgive,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a sinister smile to Hao, ”After all these years, you should make some compensation.”

Looking at Bai Xiaosheng’s smile, Hao couldn’t help but shiver.

This kid’s smile, how sinister!
