Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1142: Chapter 1134: Inconceivable

Lin Yu returned to headquarters the next day, having originally booked a car for the afternoon to head to Nanyu City, ready to catch Bai Xiaosheng off guard once again.

He truly relished this, even found it somewhat addictive.

He loved to see Bai Xiaosheng’s angry yet helpless expression.

The ”security arrangements” for Nanyu were personally organized by Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng, who had communicated them on the same day.

By now, he believed that Nanyu was fully prepared. If Bai Xiaosheng were to go there, he would definitely meet with tight security. Any short-term breakthroughs would be wishful thinking.

After Lin Yu’s arrival, he would meet Bai Xiaosheng, ostensibly by coincidence, claiming he was also there to conduct investigations.

Even if Bai Xiaosheng didn’t believe it, he would have to begrudgingly accept it!

After all, the New-type Affairs Officer’s ”investigative authority” was comparable to that of a Senior Affairs Officer, as decreed by Mr. Xiahou Qi. Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t monopolize a city and forbid others from intervening, nor could he deny the New-type Affairs Officer’s power and blatantly order him to leave.

Later, Lin Yu would actively ”cooperate,” addressing whatever direction Bai Xiaosheng was investigating.

Not to help Bai Xiaosheng resolve issues, but to plug the gaps.

With Lin Yu on site, and with Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng orchestrating from a distance, along with the support of locals who were all on his side.

Did Bai Xiaosheng expect to achieve anything?

Dream on!

”This time, he’ll definitely get stuck in the mire, struggle every step of the way, and in the end, leave without gaining anything!” Lin Yu thought, even finding the idea thrill-inducing.

Unfortunately, Lin Yu’s beautiful imagination had not yet unfolded. Before noon, an investigative report was dispatched from Gandong.

Thirty companies in Gandong Province, including ten major corporations, were mentioned in the report: one demotion, four dismissals, and two prosecutions recommended! Besides that, from the remaining twenty companies, more than half had serious issues—deep accountability was encouraged for those responsible!

The report had created a storm within the department, rocking it like a ferocious hurricane.

Normally, there weren’t massive investigations and batch processing of problematic individuals.

But such a large-scale purge, snaring over seventy percent of major corporations in a province, was truly terrifying.

The critical part was that the evidence was irrefutable!

Even more outrageous, as mentioned in the report, each individual had only one or two, at most four, significant issues—minor, trivial matters were hardly mentioned.

This precision and ferocity, like sniping a vital point, struck with deadly accuracy.

In just one morning, every corner of the department was buzzing—all anyone could talk about was this matter.

”Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng is incredibly formidable; wherever he goes, he eradicates the problematic figures in a province! Where he passes, it’s like a baptism by fire, absolutely nothing remains!”

”Yes, his capability is terrifying. From now on, wherever Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng appears, it will surely unsettle the people, sending shivers down everyone’s spine.”

”What nonsense are you spouting? Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng is merely rooting out pests. Only those with guilty consciences need to fear!”

”Yes, yes, you’re right. It was just a slip of the tongue! But consider the whole country, with two or three dozen provinces; if Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng keeps this up, how are the rest of us to survive!”

”You all are just focussed on how thoroughly Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng is scrutinizing people, but have you noticed how little time he used! Think about it, he hasn’t been away from headquarters for long, and yet he’s uncovered so many problem individuals!”

”Hiss—yes! You’re right, we almost overlooked that! Indeed, it hasn’t been long, and the efficiency is almost too frightening!”

”Now, this will definitely please the lower-level managers; finally, they have their day to shine, their moment to rise!”

...

Not only were there exclamations of surprise and awe, but there were also a few conspiracy-laden whispers mixed in.

”Don’t you find it strange? Yesterday, Officer Lin Yu investigated Wang Ziyu, the provincial industrial head of Gandong, and today, Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng has rounded up all the problematic individuals there. And crucially, this occurred after Officer Lin Yu returned to headquarters!”

”I find it odd too, too coincidental and thought-provoking! Whether these two went there consecutively, or might have met there...”

”I heard, when investigating Wang Ziyu, Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng personally took charge, making the key approvals and swiftly and rigorously dealt with Wang Ziyu. This quick action, is it related to Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng’s arrival?”

...

After many suggestive remarks, the conversation took a certain turn.

”I heard that Wang Ziyu had been quite close to Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng’s side... Suddenly being so swiftly and sternly investigated, anyone would normally appeal to the headquarters, which is only human, but this Mr. Wang Ziyu quietly accepted it without any fuss. What do you think, is there something fishy going on here...”

”Are you suggesting a case of ’Zhou Yu against Huang Gai, one willing to lash out and one willing to endure’?”

”Doesn’t it seem like it? I heard that before being investigated, Wang Ziyu had already been targeted by Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng! This way, Wang Ziyu becomes a scapegoat, not only stopping Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng’s investigation but also enhancing Officer Lin Yu’s performance. Have you considered who Officer Lin Yu’s mentor is...”

”Wow, now that you mention it, this is really worth pondering!”

”Then, among those dealt with by Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng, many must be connected with Shen...”

”Stop talking nonsense, walls have ears!”

”True. Senior Affairs Officers are not to be messed with, not to be messed with!”
