Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1189: Chapter 1163: Someone asked me to pass a message to you.

The day Bai Xiaosheng launched a full-scale offensive was, for the Wu Family, simply a day in hell.

Twelve Wu Family enterprises suffered attacks from all quarters.

Moreover, every once in a while, even more severe problems would surface.

The entire Wu Family was as if mired in quicksand or sucked into a whirlpool, watching their business and wealth being devoured bit by bit.

With each passing hour, even minute, the Wu Family’s businesses were accumulating terrible consequences.

It is believed that after this ordeal, the Wu Family may have to pay a thousand times, perhaps even a hundred thousand times, to make up for the losses.

And some losses might not even be recoverable!

For Wu Dazun, this calamity was a pain that cut to the bone.

He sought help from Cheng Liu, to no avail. Cheng Liu instead warned him that only by taking a firm stance could they hope for a ”good outcome.”

He begged Bai Xiaosheng for mercy, but Bai Xiaosheng said just one sentence to Pi Dalei, whom he had sent, and then expelled him.

”Not a friend, then an enemy!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s meaning was simple; the Wu Family had no right to waver.

Either side with him or...

Die!

However, even if they sided with Bai Xiaosheng, they would still face Shen Peishen’s troubles afterward. The Wu Family’s tomorrow would be as today—still facing disaster!

Thinking this, Wu Dazun felt an unbearable weight on his shoulders, making it even harder to decide.

In the span of a day, he almost wished he could turn his hair white from worry.

For the Wu Family to survive, they ultimately had to choose between the Shens and the Bais, with no third path available.

But which one to choose?

One was Shen Peishen, powerful and shadowy, operating in the dark for many years.

The other was Bai Xiaosheng, untested and fearless, with a background deeply unnerving upon closer inspection.

Aligning with Shen Peishen meant gritting their teeth and holding on through the current storm in anticipation of the rainbow that would follow.

Aligning with Bai Xiaosheng meant facing the raging storms ahead, possibly even more severe crises than today.

It was a gamble.

Though business often resembles gambling, when life and death hang in the balance, decisions are not made so easily.

Bet right, and the Wu Family’s future will flourish; bet wrong, and they might be completely finished.

Wu Dazun agonized until the sky grew dark, wishing he could just buy some dice and throw them, hoping the heavens would reveal a clear path for the Wu Family.

Just as Wu Dazun was wavering and troubled,

Someone came visiting.

It was Guo Fengyang, the owner of Dayu Inn.

Nandu is a near top-tier, bottom-tier special administrate city, not quite on par with the few top-tier megacities, but not to be underestimated either.

Dayu Inn is located in the suburban area of Nandu, near both a park and a lake, with extensive grounds. Doing business there is a symbol of strength in itself.

Moreover, Guo Fengyang was not someone simple; even Wu Dazun didn’t dare to offend him lightly.

When Wu Dazun learned that his son Wu Yangwei had assaulted the dock manager of Dayu Inn, he even sent someone to apologize and consoled the assaulted manager.

When had the Nandu Wu Family ever extended such courtesies to other local enterprises?

Probably only Guo Fengyang received such treatment.

However, at the moment, Guo Fengyang’s visit to Qinggang was indeed surprising to Wu Dazun.

Although currently overwhelmed with troubles, Wu Dazun personally welcomed Guo Fengyang into the reception room.

Just as Wu Dazun was about to ask Guo Fengyang the purpose of his visit, Guo Fengyang took the initiative to speak first.

”Young brother Wu, I understand both your plight and the Wu Family’s situation. I have come here this time to deliver a message for someone.”

Guo Fengyang got straight to the point as soon as he spoke.

”Brother Guo, you know about my situation?” Wu Dazun, detecting the hidden meaning in Guo Fengyang’s words, couldn’t help but stare into his eyes and ask, ”Relaying a message? Who are you representing, and what message are you delivering?”

Besides Guo Fengyang’s tone, his attitude also caught Wu Dazun’s attention.

The look in Guo Fengyang’s eyes was somewhat chilly and carried a hint of sternness.

The reason Wu Dazun treated Guo Fengyang with such courtesy, even with a sense of wariness, was because he knew that in the neighboring provinces, those truly low-profile business magnates, Wu Dazun had no say, but Guo Fengyang did!

And Wu Dazun had always been unable to find out Guo Fengyang’s background.

The unknown, was always the most terrifying.

Guo Fengyang didn’t say who sent him, but instead spoke indifferently, ”Your son Wu Yangwei hit my people on my turf, which is just a minor issue. However, his harassment of that young lady, she has quite the considerable background!”

Wu Dazun couldn’t help but be stunned.

Could it be that the woman his son had harassed had asked Guo Fengyang to come seeking retribution?

”If Brother Guo is here to accuse, I, Wu Dazun, offer a sincere apology on behalf of my son. With your words ’has quite the background,’ I’ll apologize wholeheartedly!” Wu Dazun forced a smile, ”Be it compensation or apology, please feel free to mention it. Whatever I can do, I’ll do. Ah, those incidents... compared to the trouble my Wu Family is facing right now, are they really much of anything?”

As he spoke, Wu Dazun’s heart stirred suddenly.

If Guo Fengyang was willing to help, by asking any several of the business magnates from the neighboring provinces of Nandu to mediate.

Would the troubles he was facing be resolved as easily as slicing through butter?

You must know, these business magnates were not like Wu Dazun, merely local hegemons.

They had influence all over the country!

Even, they have appeared many times at the same events as Mr. Xiahou Qi, the CEO of Zhenbei Group in the Greater China Region.

With this thought, Wu Dazun’s heart suddenly came alive.

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it became!

Those business magnates, second only to Xiahou Qi, if they were to intervene in the mediation, the Wu Family could truly ensure their safety!

Wu Dazun immediately changed to a smile, ready to make a request of Guo Fengyang.

As for the price that needed to be paid to make this happen, he was willing.

It was still better than the current situation!

However, before Wu Dazun could speak, Guo Fengyang spoke again first, his eyes showing a rare touch of mockery, ”Compensation? Apology? Brother Wu, I’m afraid you’re oversimplifying the matter!”

Hearing this, Wu Dazun was taken aback.

A sincere apology was oversimplified?

Guo Fengyang continued, ”Dayu Inn is in fact not my property, but that of the young lady’s family. Many major properties in these surrounding provinces are also owned by her family! And her position within the family... is extremely significant. Elder Feng, Elder Chen, Mr. Zhang, those big names, I believe you are aware of their status! Actually, they all work for that young lady’s family business. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Guo Fengyang’s words shocked Wu Dazun.

Elder Feng, Elder Chen, Mr. Zhang were the most famous of the low-profile big shots in the surrounding provinces.

They were all people from the family of the young lady mentioned by Guo Fengyang?

His son had even harassed that young lady!

Wu Dazun was terrified in an instant.

Wu Dazun vaguely remembered his son mentioning that the beautiful woman Wu Yangwei got himself involved with was with Bai Xiaosheng.

Instantly, Wu Dazun felt a hair-raising premonition.

A fearsome speculation loomed in his mind.

”That young lady sent me to give Brother Wu a message: your Wu Family’s actions have greatly angered her.”

”You now have only two choices: either help Bai Xiaosheng now, or...”

Guo Fengyang smiled, ”In Nandu, there will be no Wu Family!”

”Brother, don’t you think I’m just fear-mongering!”

Guo Fengyang stretched out his hand and gently patted the dazed Wu Dazun’s shoulder.

”The Wu Family in Nandu, famously powerful? It’s just that many important figures don’t bother to claim it! Don’t take your own family too seriously. If you don’t heed advice, for the Wu Family to go bankrupt and be excluded from the business community, it’s just a matter of one or two weeks at most!”

”I’ve delivered the message. As for which path to take, you choose!”
