Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 686: Chapter 686 I’ve always been here!_1

Zhang Xuan arrived and from a distance, he was startled by the significant commotion.

This floor was supposed to be soundproofed. What kind of noise were they making? Were they trying to tear the place down?

”Didn’t Zhihao convey my message to Lei Zha, that barbarian? He better not go too far!”

Zhang Xuan had practiced martial arts in his youth as well and naturally knew of Lei Zha’s prowess.

In his eyes, within Zhongjing, Lei Zha was unmatched!

He was only accustomed to brutalizing others.

”If he cripples my disciple, I fear this grudge will never be resolved in this lifetime!” Zhang Xuan couldn’t contain himself and ran over.

The people following Zhang Xuan were all shocked. Their boss, Director Zhang, had never been so undignified.

When he arrived at the private room, Zhang Xuan was stunned by the scene inside.

Lei Zha, shrunk down like a rat, was kneeling down before someone!

How could this be possible! Zhang Xuan was dumbfounded.

The fierce and bandit-like Lei Zha... how had he become like this...

Underneath Zhang Xuan’s shock was also a sense of shame.

By kneeling, Lei Zha had brought shame upon the Zhang Family.

”What’s going on!” Zhang Xuan bellowed angrily as he barged in.

However, Lei Zha ignored his arrival, continuing to kneel without even lifting his head to look at him.

Lei Ying cast a faint glance at Zhang Xuan; that look was like that of a wild beast.

When Zhang Xuan met his gaze, he suddenly shuddered. This person, for no apparent reason, reminded him of the time when he was young and visited the zoo, locked eyes with a lion behind the bars. The lion watched him quietly and deeply before suddenly stretching its paw out of the cage, swiping down from above.

Back then, the tip of that paw had been mere inches from his nose.

The terror that had nearly made his soul leap out of his body in that moment, during this brief eye contact, felt eerily similar.

Was this a man or a beast!

Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but take two steps back.

”Zhang Xuan, you’ve finally decided to show up!”

Sun Xuanbei looked at Chu Dashan, who Feng had dragged onto the sofa, still unconscious, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

”Elder Sister, you...”

Zhang Xuan intended to assertively say to Sun Xuanbei, ”Isn’t it going too far to make such a scene at my doorstep?”

But when he saw Sun Xuanbei’s frosty hair, and dimly recalled the past, the words caught in his throat, and what came out instead was, ”You’re still as spirited as you were back then!”

”Don’t try to cozy up to me!” Sun Xuanbei’s face was frosty as she pointed at Chu Dashan, ”That man is my disciple, and your people have beaten him to this state. Don’t tell me you knew nothing about it! And hand over that girl! From now on, let’s not see each other again!”

Sun Xuanbei’s resolute words sent a chill through Zhang Xuan.

”For decades, I’d always thought about what it would be like to see you again. I wasn’t hoping for much, just to have a good chat with Elder Sister, like we did in the very beginning. Unfortunately...”

Zhang Xuan took step by step, returning to the sofa and slowly sitting down, ”you still treat me with this attitude!”

Zhang Xuan looked aggrieved for a moment before raising his head to look at Sun Xuanbei with a fierce expression, ”Then I don’t need to be polite to you!”

”I won’t hand her over!” Zhang Xuan was adamant, speaking coldly word by word, ”This is Zhang Family territory. Here, what I, Zhang Xuan say, goes! Elder Sister, you think by bringing someone who can fight well, you can threaten me? You’re wrong! In Zhongjing, there are people who can threaten me, Zhang Xuan, but sadly, they’re not here, and you can’t bring them!”

Zhang Xuan’s words made Sun Xuanbei’s expression turn ugly.

Bai Xiaosheng, however, listened expressionlessly.

”Back then you looked down on me; now, you’re not qualified to negotiate terms with me!” boasted Zhang Xuan.

Sun Xuanbei’s eyes blazed with fury, but she was powerless to retort.

”Brother Zhang!”

Outside the private room, a voice sounded, and Mou Yutian stepped in.

He had heard Zhang Xuan’s roar just now, but he had already reached the door.

What a time to arrive!

Yet after a moment of awkwardness, Mou Yutian ultimately braced himself and entered.

”Brother Mou?” Zhang Xuan was somewhat surprised to see him; out of politeness, he stood up.

Shen Yu, who followed behind Mou Yutian, looked as if he had done something wrong, his expression bitter, not daring to look at Zhang Xuan. He had no idea it would be this situation here; had he known, he wouldn’t dare to bring Mou Yutian along, not for anything.

”Younger brother Zhang, there’s a bit of an issue at my end—Secretary Zhang Meng from the mayor’s office personally came over to inspect the enterprise, so I must rush back. I came to say hello, not knowing you were busy here,” Mou Yutian said with a chuckle, apologetically, ”It’s truly an interruption; it was my unintentional fault.”

Mou Yutian apologized to Zhang Xuan.

”How about this, we’ll find a day, and I will specifically introduce you to Mr. Bai from Zhongjing Media. How’s that?” Mou Yutian said cordially.

Saying this in front of everyone present—both to give Zhang Xuan face and to alleviate the awkwardness.

Zhang Xuan’s expression brightened, and he nodded.

Mou Yutian was honoring him, and naturally, he appreciated it.

”Thanks a lot, Brother Mou,” Zhang Xuan laughed heartily, meanwhile casting a glance at Sun Xuanbei, the implication couldn’t be clearer: the foremost figure in Zhongjing’s business circle is showing me goodwill—this is the extent of my influence!

Sun Xuanbei focused, she naturally knew of Mou Yutian, often mentioned in the newspapers.

With the Zhang Family’s power already formidable, and now with the support of a figure like Mou Yutian, who could make them bow or yield?

Perhaps only people from the city government!

Could it be that we really overestimated ourselves this time, returning without accomplishing anything? The old madam secretly clenched her teeth.

”Brother Mou, since we’re going to meet, why postpone it? Isn’t today fine?”

A young voice came from behind Sun Xuanbei.

Sun Xuanbei turned her head in utter surprise.

Bai Xiaosheng leisurely stepped up, his face bearing a smile that was not quite a smile.

Upon seeing Bai Xiaosheng, Mou Yutian’s face changed instantly, and in disbelief he said, ”Young brother Bai, what are you doing here!”

”Me? I’ve been here all along!” Bai Xiaosheng said with a light smile.

Been here all along?

Mou Yutian was startled and couldn’t help but glance at Zhang Xuan.

Could it be that Bai Xiaosheng was included among the people Zhang Xuan scolded just now?

Zhang Xuan, seeing that there was something off in Mou Yutian’s gaze, felt a pang of alarm in his heart.

Mou Yutian had already rushed over to Bai Xiaosheng, enthusiastically extending his hand to clasp hands with him, ”It’s been a long time since Tianqing, and to think we’d run into each other here, young brother Bai, it’s fate!”

Who cares if the Zhang Family has a feud with Bai Xiaosheng—I absolutely cannot afford to offend him! Especially at this time! Mou Yutian thought to himself.

His reaction immediately woke Zhang Xuan to a realization—he suddenly understood the identity of this Mr. Bai, whom Mou Yutian was so eagerly showing enthusiasm for.

”You are the General Manager of Zhongjing Media, Bai Xiaosheng!” Zhang Xuan’s gaze heated up.

His address, with the added honorific.

Bai Xiaosheng acknowledged with a smile.

”This, this! I had no idea you were here, ah! My apologies, my apologies! No, you’ve seen me make a fool of myself, Mr. Bai!” Zhang Xuan didn’t know what else to say as he ran over with a full-faced smile.

Just moments ago, domineering and aggressive, now, on his own turf, he was eagerly trying to ingratiate himself with someone else!

Sun Xuanbei found it unbelievable and stared blankly at Bai Xiaosheng, ”Just what is the back story of this young fellow!”
