Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: The Waters Here Are as Deep as the Sea

”First of all, what kind of existence is the Zhang Family, that they would be instigated to be bought over by a mere regional industry head? Does he even qualify! Moreover, to truly think that Zhang Xi of the Zhang Family has become senile!” Bai Xiaosheng sighed, ”That is our Mr. Xia’s old friend, an old fox! How could he be so easily manipulated!”

”Even the current helmsman of the Zhang Family wouldn’t agree!”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying listened intently.

”So if we want to get the Zhang Family moving, what do we need to do?” Lei Ying asked.

”Interests, of course!” Bai Xiaosheng affirmed confidently, ”Enough interests! Businessmen chase profits, and the more successful the businessperson, the more coldly they will choose the point of maximum benefit.”

”There must be someone who promised sufficient interests, making the Zhang Family willing to be the pawn, even at the risk of offending Mr. Xia.”

”Wang Ziyu?” Lin Weiwei couldn’t help asking.

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, ”He’s not qualified enough!”

Bai Xiaosheng recounted the words he had taunted Zhang Yudong with, saying, ”Was it Wang Ziyu who brought people to offer you terms, to cooperate in bringing down Shang Wenshu? You should also know when to quit while you’re ahead!”

...

”I’m afraid Shen Peishen might have personally gotten involved.” Bai Xiaosheng said, ”Of course, it’s not yet certain.”

Having said that, Bai Xiaosheng smiled, ”In fact, the Zhang Family can’t really be said to have offended our group. After all, they knew when to stop! Afterwards, they could claim it was a misunderstanding! Do you believe it? Even if we hadn’t appeared in time, the Zhang Family would not have continued to expand their victories, they wouldn’t have allowed the corporate enterprises of Shangyun to suffer a fatal blow. Furthermore, afterwards, Zhang Xi would send a note to Elder Xia, volunteering for punishment, claiming complete ignorance.”

How could Elder Xia tear up with an old friend when the other party bowed their head so low?

But if it was really as Bai Xiaosheng said, then even though the Zhang Family appeared to be defeated, in reality, they would be triumphantly victorious.

Could this be the case?

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were unsure.

”Next, Affairs Officers will jump out to accuse Shang Wenshu’s management of having problems, and gradually more and more people will criticize, eventually leading to Shang Wenshu being demoted or transferred.” Bai Xiaosheng sighed, ”Then, after some maneuvers, I believe the new regional industry head appointed here must be inclined towards Shen Peishen.”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with solemnity.

”The reason why the situation here has been completely obscured from headquarters, and we only sent an Assistant Affairs Officer later on, really, aside from Shen Peishen’s side being capable of this, there is no other!” Lin Weiwei said with a sigh.

Lei Ying nodded, ”It makes me think of another thing, why did the former general manager of Dacheng Group suddenly go crazy and insist on antagonizing the Zhang Family, thereby infuriating them... Perhaps, he was actually one of Shen Peishen’s people all along!”

Thinking through the whole affair, these speculations were actually not hard to conclude.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded.

However, Lin Weiwei was sceptical, ”This whole affair, going through such a huge circle, Shen Peishen himself goes to negotiate with the Zhang Family, all just to bring down Shang Wenshu? Is it for the position of regional industry head?”

Shangyun Province is not an economic powerhouse, its corporate enterprises, both in quantity and quality, are limited.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for the Zhang Family to push the local companies into such a plight.

Was Shen Peishen really making a move for this?

Is it worth it!

”Yeah, that’s what puzzles me too,” Lei Ying muttered, ”With Shen Peishen’s means, to seek a regional industry head position, does he really need to rely on external forces? Perhaps the concessions he offered to the Zhang Family to drive out Shang Wenshu cost far more than the internal expenses.”

Bai Xiaosheng thought for a moment and said, ”Unless, the position of Shang Wenshu is very special, and they urgently need it.”

”And then, they have another agenda!”

Bai Xiaosheng pondered.

Taking out Shang Wenshu to secure the position of regional industry head in Shangyun Province might just be the beginning.

As Bai Xiaosheng and his group had taken down Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe with great fanfare, the actions here had not stopped, showing the importance.

Going around in circles and operating with external forces just showed how cautious Shen Peishen was.

Choosing the Zhang family, Zhang Xi, an old friend of Mr. Xiahou Qi, was also a smoke screen, preventing Mr. Xiahou Qi from quickly discerning their intentions.

So, what were they really after?

Bai Xiaosheng slightly furrowed his brows.

”Gandong Province’s provincial industry head, Wang Ziyu, is one of Shen Peishen’s people, and I remember that the industry head of a neighboring powerful province also seems to be under Shen’s influence. If they take over Shangyun Province, then in this large region, there will be three provincial industry heads under Shen Peishen’s control. Is Shen so enamored with this part of the world...”

Bai Xiaosheng muttered to himself, his thoughts suddenly bursting forth in his mind like a lightning bolt illuminating a blind spot in his cognition.

”Do you remember what Shang Wenshu once said? When there was a problem, he not only sought help from the Affairs Department but also reached out to his immediate superior, the regional head. However, the latter was overseas and couldn’t intervene!” Bai Xiaosheng asked urgently.

”Remember, what about it?”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying looked at each other and immediately responded.

Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze was piercing, ”Even if they were out of reach, that regional head could have easily informed Mr. Xiahou Qi!”

”After all, it’s their own jurisdiction. Such a big incident happened, and they’ve remained silent all this time, don’t you think...”

”Is that normal?” Bai Xiaosheng said.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying widened their eyes.

By that logic, it wasn’t normal!

”But if you were to say that regional head is also one of Shen Peishen’s people, I wouldn’t quite believe it either. Shen’s power is strong, but not to that extent. If he truly had that kind of strength, he wouldn’t need to go through the Zhang family!” Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke coldly, ”Perhaps, this involves yet another deal!”

”With Shen Peishen’s offer of profits in exchange for the regional head turning a blind eye, it wouldn’t be difficult!”

”If that regional head only thought Shen was targeting Shang Wenshu, it’s very likely they would have agreed!”

Bai Xiaosheng scoffed, ”The thing that the regional head might not know is that two people under him are already related to Shen Peishen. Once Shen takes another province, what does it mean if three provincial industry heads become disloyal to their own regional head!”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying listened with a chill building inside them.

After this conversation, they felt as if they’d uncovered a terrifying undercurrent, a whirlpool of darkness!

Bai Xiaosheng fell silent for a moment, his voice icy, ”If three or more provincial industry heads joined in testimony, that regional head might face an investigation!”

”And what if, on top of that, a Senior Affairs Officer is conspiring? What then!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s voice carried a sudden note of admiration, ”Look! Our Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng might be aiming to create not just a Senior Affairs Officer, but also a regional head! With more support, he would have the energy to seize the presidency of the Greater China Region...”

”No, what he really has his eyes on is probably even higher! With such a massive setup, he’s also aiming to climb one more rung, to gain strong backing for this ascent!”

The analysis was complete.

Though it was just Bai Xiaosheng’s speculation, it left Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying speechless from shock.

It seemed highly likely that what Bai Xiaosheng suspected.

If you looked at it that way, Mr. Shen Peishen was not merely a seasoned workhorse longing for the great distances.

He was, in fact, harboring ambitions that soared to the skies!

Before, Mr. Xiahou Qi had held him back, but now, as Mr. Xia’s health declined day by day, Shen Peishen’s opportunity was emerging, and he started to hasten his journey.

”Although these are my guesses, verifying them isn’t difficult,” Bai Xiaosheng said, ”After we say goodbye to Shang Wenshu and the others, we’ll leave, heading to Gandong...”

Before Bai Xiaosheng could finish, his phone began to ring.

He took out his phone, saw the name on it, and his gaze immediately became intrigued.

It was actually him!
