Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 712: Chapter 712: Nagging Bai Xiaosheng_1

After hearing what Bai Xiaosheng said, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying nodded in succession.

”For brothers like Chen Jiutian, these millennium-old foxes definitely wouldn’t let an arrogant junior like Chen Changluo get in touch with any core stuff. However, Chen Changluo is still a trusted member of their own family, so there must be some shoddy connections, like strands of spider silk; thin, yet ultimately connecting a large web.”

Lin Weiwei, ever gentle and virtuous, immediately paraphrased based on her understanding.

”What we need to do is start from this thin strand to find the web and then clarify what’s at the center of the web,” Lin Weiwei said with a smile. ”Interesting, it feels a bit like spy warfare.”

”Now that you say that, I get it! This is a good approach!”

Lei Ying laughed heartily, ”Tracking and seeking clues is my natural forte. Besides, I don’t need to look for help. When I was a mercenary, I was a top special operator—tracking, reconnaissance, infiltration, stealth entry, lock-picking, every aspect was the best. Surely the Chen Family’s territory can’t be more dangerous than a war-torn zone!”

The cruelty of the battlefield naturally shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as a peaceful environment.

To Lei Ying, this all seemed trivial.

”What Weiwei said is correct. But this is not some kind of spy game. Society has laws, and we have principles. Even for your sakes, we absolutely cannot cross the line!” Bai Xiaosheng reminded them solemnly, and specifically looked at Lei Ying with a serious gaze. ”Also, you must never underestimate any person or any matter because of your own strength!”

”It will lead to losses!” Bai Xiaosheng said gravely.

When Lei Ying saw the look in Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, his expression grew serious, and he couldn’t help responding, ”Yes!”

His reply was resounding and powerful, like a soldier’s, and then he laughed.

”My goodness, just now, the tone of your voice and the look in your eyes were exactly like those of the instructor who used to train me, it really startled me,” said Lei Ying. ”That’s right! That’s what he taught me too. Survival on the battlefield: Never be complacent about your strength, even a lion uses its full force when hunting a rabbit! I’ve always remembered that. But in this long-lasting peace, I did forget a bit, and that’s my mistake!”

Lei Ying was someone who didn’t need much warning. Once he recognized something, he would never make the same mistake again.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded.

”Lastly, I want to emphasize that nothing is worth compromising your safety over! I’d rather give up on Chen Changluo than see any of you get into trouble! Lei Ying, one reason I’m having you go with Weiwei is to ensure her safety!”

Chen Changluo was known to have violent tendencies and should not be taken lightly.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng showing such concern for her, Lin Weiwei smiled sweetly.

”Weiwei, I also want to remind you, never act recklessly. If there’s trouble, call for Lei Ying immediately. Don’t act alone as a girl; it’s dangerous. If you disobey and I find out, the next time I leave, I’ll have you stay at Zhongjing Media as a director to live a stable life!” Bai Xiaosheng threatened.

Lin Weiwei stuck out her tongue, indicating she understood.

Only then did Bai Xiaosheng smile and say to the two of them, ”This time you two are going over there, we’re the client and they’re the contractors. If you have demands, you make them; if you’re not satisfied, you speak up. As long as the reasoning is sound, I fully support making some trouble for them. Don’t be polite with them. If Chen Changluo dares to give you a hard time, I’ll deal with him!”

”Consider this trip a benefit! Eat well, enjoy yourselves! Whether or not you make any gains really doesn’t matter!”

”Anyway, it was just a whim of mine. I have no expectations!”

Bai Xiaosheng tirelessly repeated this to them.

This seemingly fussing behavior warmed the hearts of Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

”Don’t worry, Xiaosheng. I’ve taken note of all you said!” Lin Weiwei said with a smile as she picked up her wine glass.

”No need for further words, everything is in the wine!” Lei Ying also picked up his wine glass.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and picked up his wine glass as well.

”Cheers!” ”Cheers!” ”Cheers!”

The three glasses clinked together, and the trio drank up.

After that, Bai Xiaosheng and the others didn’t talk about the matter again, instead, they chatted about amusing occurrences at work and in life.

The sound of laughter continued in the private room.

The small gathering didn’t break up until eight o’clock in the evening.

Surprisingly, Bai Xiaosheng was the only one who got slightly intoxicated, while Lei Ying seemed unaffected, and Lin Weiwei even more so.

Bai Xiaosheng declined the offer to be walked home by the other two; after all, the place where he lived was quite close by, and it would take only three to five minutes to walk back.

Persisting on his decision, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying had no choice but to let it be.

After leaving, Bai Xiaosheng slowly walked back in the evening breeze.

”When it comes down to it, there’s one more assessment for the training class, after which, it might no longer exist.”

”I also don’t know when Feng Li will return to start the final assessment.”

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but stretch his arms in a yawn.

”Also, should I try to rank first one more time?”

At this very moment, Bai Xiaosheng unintentionally started thinking and muttering about Feng Li.

Currently, she was in the Greater China Region Headquarters, in Xiahou Qi’s office, talking with the president of the Greater China Region.

”I’ll return to Zhongjing in two weeks to conduct my final assessment for this phase. I wonder who will take over and be responsible for the second phase?” Feng Li asked curiously, precisely as this topic came up.

Xiahou Qi let out a sly chuckle, his smile somewhat wicked.

If it were someone else asking this question, he might not necessarily disclose the answer.

Feng Li was considered half his disciple, steady in disposition, adhering to principles, and would never reveal even half a word to others.

Therefore, Xiahou Qi didn’t conceal it and directly spoke a name.

”Him!”

Feng Li’s eyes widened in surprise.

This person’s thoughts could be rather bizarre...

”Didn’t see that coming, did you?” Xiahou Qi said proudly, ”When the time comes, those candidates are going to have a tough time. Also, he shared some of his ideas with me, and I found them quite interesting.”

Xiahou Qi revealed a bit more.

Feng Li’s expression changed slightly, and she laughed, ”That’s really like him to think of such things that normal people would probably never consider! It’s just that...”

She was somewhat worried.

”True gold is not afraid of fire; those who are truly talented will surely withstand it,” Xiahou Qi muttered.

Half an hour later, Feng Li walked out of Xiahou Qi’s office and headed back.

Thinking about the Affairs Officer in charge of the next stage of assessments, Feng Li couldn’t help but frown slightly, repeatedly muttering under her breath in an almost inaudible voice.

”Bai Xiaosheng might suffer a big loss this time. Wouldn’t it be wrong for me to sit idly by!”

”Yet according to my principles, I shouldn’t intervene in this matter.”

”However, he has been of great assistance to my teacher, Huo Dong, and has even saved Qian Xun. By rights, it’s a favor I owe him!”

”But public is public, and private is private. They should not be confused. Furthermore, Elder Xia told me it was a sign of his trust in me! How could I betray Elder Xia’s trust!”

Feng Li stopped in her tracks, feeling agitated.

”So should I, or shouldn’t I give you a hand, Bai Xiaosheng!”
