Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 822: Chapter 822: If You Want to Turn the Tables, You’ve Got to Go All Out!

”Bai Xiaosheng, currently a New-type Affairs Officer, formerly the General Manager of a directly affiliated subsidiary company under Zhongjing Media!”

”How could he possibly know the general managers of these provinces in East China, these subsidiary enterprises of the groups, how could he have any entanglements with them?”

”What exactly do you want to do with this trap, that you want to screw over someone with the surname Bai, extricate Chen Jiuzheng from his predicament, and at the same time keep me out of it?”

”You should know, all these enterprises are under my jurisdiction, they are all my subordinates, how could so many people be involved in an incident without me knowing!”

”Setting a trap at this time, no matter how you look at it, it looks like I’m framing Bai Xiaosheng! It’s a dead knot!”

”The onlookers of this trap include Mr. Xiahou Qi, the President of the Greater China Region, along with a host of Senior Affairs Officers and Affairs Officers, who are all no fools, but rather shrewd people. How can you guarantee that you can deceive them? Are you confident that it’s foolproof?”

”What exactly are you planning, brother, I want to hear it!”

Even though Chen Jiutian’s composure was greatly disturbed by Bai Xiaosheng, he still retained a certain degree of rationality.

He was doubtful about these issues and wanted to clarify them.

Zheng Honghu continued to look through the documents, paying no attention to Chen Jiutian who was speaking.

”Say something, Brother Zheng, don’t end up failing to fight back and drag me into it!”

Chen Jiutian, not receiving an answer, became anxious and snapped the document folder shut, preventing Zheng Honghu from continuing to read.

Zheng Honghu looked up, his face expressionless as he looked at him.

”What’s the matter!” Chen Jiutian’s eyes were frantic, staring into Zheng Honghu’s eyes.

”You want to counter Bai Xiaosheng’s move, rescue Chen Jiuzheng, use the people under your command, and still have Xiahou Qi and the Senior Affairs Officers not suspect you?” Zheng Honghu retorted.

He had been listening all along.

Chen Jiutian nodded repeatedly.

”Do you think it’s possible!” Zheng Honghu scoffed, ”Stay out of it? Are you thinking a bit too much!”

Chen Jiutian looked at him in astonishment.

If he couldn’t protect himself, and he naively jumped into this mess, wouldn’t that be seeking death!

What did Zheng Honghu mean? Was he playing him?

Chen Jiutian felt a rush of urgency.

”Speak up, say something!”

Zheng Honghu was quicker to react, he slammed the table and startled Chen Jiutian.

”How many times have I told you, I don’t want to implement this short-term strategy, it’s dangerous! Not only are you in danger, but I also face tremendous risk!”

”But what is the situation now, I don’t need to say it! If we don’t act, we are doomed, if we act, there is still a chance of life!”

”Yet you still want everything to be perfect, thinking of keeping yourself clear, with no risk at all? Is that possible! You’ve been in the corporate world so long, do you think— is that possible!”

”I’m telling you, you not only can’t stay out of it, but you also need to take the initiative to strike, to get proactively involved! Only by doing so can you turn the tables and turn defeat into victory!”

”Fortune favors the bold, there’s no need for me to explain this principle to you, right?”

Zheng Honghu’s stern rebuke left Chen Jiutian speechless.

Indeed, indeed!

With the situation as it is, he definitely couldn’t stay out of it; any ”unexpected situation” that occurs, especially something happening to Bai Xiaosheng, would make people suspect him first!

Affairs Officers are all cunning, Senior Affairs Officers even more so.

Xiahou Qi is the boss of these people, how could it be possible to deceive them!

Sweat beads suddenly formed on Chen Jiutian’s forehead.

His heart was already in turmoil, his rationality gradually fading.

A phone call from Bai Xiaosheng made him even more agitated.

He actually asked such a childish question!

”Zheng brother, it’s my fault! My mind... is in chaos! So, surely Zheng brother will help me! Afterwards, Chen will express his gratitude immediately, and in the group, any profit to be made, Zheng brother will have a share!”

Chen Jiutian’s words were earnest.

Now, he had no choice but to rely on Zheng Honghu, and he truly viewed Zheng as a lifesaver.

Zheng Honghu was pleased, he nodded and said apologetically, ”Just now, I was a bit agitated too, Chen brother shouldn’t mind. There is a way, and there are risks as well. However, I’ve calculated that the chance of success outweighs the risk! As long as you follow my method, turning danger into safety is not impossible!”

”Oh?”

Chen Jiutian’s eyes brightened, displaying a stance of eager learning, ”Teach me, Zheng brother!”

Zheng Honghu leaned forward and asked Chen Jiutian with a smile, ”Let me ask you, this Bai Xiaosheng, is just a general manager of a direct subsidiary, has a history of grievances with your Chen family, and couldn’t possibly have the connections within the group’s enterprises in Anjiang, let alone in the East China. So how did he get hold of those pieces of evidence against your brother Chen Jiuzheng, through what channels, by what means!”

Chen Jiutian was struck as if by a thunderclap, his eyes wide open.

Since the incident, he had been in a continuous panic, and he had completely failed to consider this question!

”Could it be that someone is supporting Bai, that he is a pawn others are using to attack me!” Chen Jiutian asked, staring at Zheng Honghu.

”That’s not important!” Zheng Honghu scoffed.

”Not important?!” Chen Jiutian was shocked and confused.

”What you are thinking is a conspiracy theory. However, Bai Xiaosheng’s evidence is solid. Do you think Mr. Xiahou Qi and others would listen to your suspicions and let off Chen Jiuzheng? Would they cease the investigation into your brother?”

Zheng Honghu scoffed, ”However, the conspiracy theory is correct! But it should be directed, not at some invisible and intangible behind-the-scenes manipulator, but rather—at Bai Xiaosheng!”

Chen Jiutian immediately focused his attention.

”Bai Xiaosheng, in just a few months, rose from deputy head of Zhongjing Media to general manager, and even became a New-type Affairs Officer. So young, don’t you think his rise was too fast? If he could get hold of Chen Jiuzheng’s evidence, couldn’t he also get others’?” Zheng Honghu tapped on the documents.

Chen Jiutian was puzzled.

”I’ll say it directly. This Bai Xiaosheng, through abnormal channels and by deliberately setting traps, has obtained evidence of neglect, greed, corruption of many important corporate executives, and has used it to extort and blackmail them for support and high-value assets!”

”You, Chen Jiutian, had already received messages about this. To expose this villain Bai, you didn’t hesitate to let your own brother face danger, to lure out this person, understand?”

”You are the righteous ones, Bai is the evil one.”

”These people must admit their own crimes, while also fiercely accusing Bai.”

”Of course, you can say that Bai is being instructed by someone behind the scenes!”

”We need to muddy the waters first. Once they are muddied, we can turn the tide! Before the investigation by the Affairs Department starts, you will have communicated sufficiently with your loyalists; there’s enough time!”

”By your suggestion, in public before Mr. Xiahou Qi, with many witnesses present, even the president of the Greater China Region couldn’t ignore it, right?”

”This is my train of thought!”

Zheng Honghu stared at Chen Jiutian, ”What we need to do is to make this flawed train of thought credible, at least to the point where most people believe it’s possible! That’s enough!”

Chen Jiutian listened in disbelief, murmuring, ”Is that even possible! This is too unconventional, too risky...”

”But, to turn the tide, one must indeed play a ruthless hand!”

”When should I report it?” Chen Jiutian asked.

”Tomorrow morning!” Zheng Honghu replied.

”Tomorrow?!” Chen Jiutian jumped, startled.

That was, too fast!
