Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1939: Chapter 1517: This Isn’t Right!

Baldhead carefully accompanied Bai Xiaosheng and his group as they exited the alley. Outside the alley, several cars were parked, all brought by Baldhead’s crew.

This time, following the arrangement of the ’Great Master’, Baldhead and his crew had come to ”invite” Lin Chensheng, or Mr. Lin, and they were thoroughly prepared.

Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying boarded a custom-made business-style MPV, luxuriously furnished. According to Baldhead, this was one of Brother Wu’s personal vehicles, worth several million even without modifications.

To give Bai Xiaosheng and his friends some private space, Baldhead took the front passenger seat, leaving the passenger compartment for just the three of them. The front and rear compartments were almost completely separated, with only a small window for communication. Of course, unless Bai Xiaosheng and his companions initiated conversation, Baldhead would not disturb them.

Sitting on seats as comfortable as first-class ones, Bai Xiaosheng felt quite at ease. The car’s leather seats were spacious and comfortable, equipped with top-tier audio and a wine cabinet filled with bottles costing thousands.

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t hold back and opened the most expensive bottle for them to taste.

”Didn’t expect Brother Wu to really know how to enjoy life,” Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but smile, ”I thought he was just a gambling industry mogul, but turns out he’s associated with the Hong Family!”

The gambling industry is legal here, often accompanied by other businesses.

It seems that Brother Wu must be involved in other enterprises as well.

”Xiaosheng, did you notice something unusual about this car?” Lin Weiwei suddenly leaned over and asked.

”What?” Bai Xiaosheng asked curiously.

”There’s a scent of perfume,” Lin Weiwei replied.

Bai Xiaosheng took a light sniff, indeed. He had actually noticed it upon entering the car but didn’t pay much attention. Now that he thought about it, Red Lotus quickly analyzed it for him, revealing it as a limited edition luxury brand perfume—”Angel’s Secret Garden”.

”This car must have recently chauffeured a woman. The scent lingers strongly, indicating that the woman spent quite some time here. Brother Wu is quite the playboy,” Lin Weiwei teased.

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled. However, he had a slightly different understanding. ”Angel’s Secret Garden” was not an ordinary perfume; since angels are genderless, the fragrance was unisex and could be used by men as well.

Two images immediately surfaced in Bai Xiaosheng’s mind:

One, a woman with a unique taste, short-haired, cool and handsome, yet with a rough demeanor resembling a slick opera star. The other, an effeminate man fond of wearing perfume.

However, regardless of which image Brother Wu fit, it would make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Don’t overthink it, don’t overthink it! I’m just going to discuss some business and leave when it’s done!

Bai Xiaosheng quickly shook his head, trying to shake off the improper assumptions in his mind.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng suddenly shaking his head, Lin Weiwei grew curious, ”Xiaosheng, what’s up?”

Lei Ying also glanced over in surprise.

”Oh... nothing, just a stiff neck, moving it around...” Bai Xiaosheng murmured.

Sitting in this car, with the curtains drawn, one couldn’t hear the outside noise or see the bustling city under the night sky. Everything felt smooth without a trace of jolting.

The three of them sipped wine and listened to music, quite relaxed.

The car drove for an hour before coming to a halt. Someone came to open the door.

The person was dressed as a hotel bellhop. Upon seeing Bai Xiaosheng and the others, he beamed a welcoming smile and bowed in greeting.

Bai Xiaosheng and his friends got out one by one, realizing they were at the entrance of a five-star hotel. Baldhead also got out, walked over, waved away the bellhop, and smiled at Bai Xiaosheng, ”This place should be familiar to Mr. Lin, one of Brother Wu’s enterprises.”

”Is it now? I didn’t know that,” Bai Xiaosheng replied deliberately.

Baldhead grinned, ”You must be joking. Isn’t this hotel, the venue behind it and the adjacent shopping mall all under Brother Wu’s management? You would know that.”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, but inwardly thought, ”Indeed, Brother Wu oversees the Hong Family’s other businesses besides gambling. That’s quite advantageous!”

Baldhead led the way, guiding Bai Xiaosheng and the others into the hotel. However, they didn’t go upstairs but passed through the hotel lobby, heading to the back.

Baldhead mentioned that Brother Wu wanted to meet Bai Xiaosheng at the private club located behind.

The fact there was a private club attached to this five-star hotel?

It was indeed a hidden gem.

Bai Xiaosheng and his friends grew more intrigued.

Leaving through the back of the hotel, they entered a garden, with lights gently and mysteriously illuminating the area. Well-dressed people rushed by, exuding an aura of sophistication.

The garden was just a corridor leading to an area that resembled a traditional Chinese courtyard, though the buildings within the surrounding walls were all Western-style villas. Baldhead led Bai Xiaosheng and his companions to the innermost part. Along the way, there were two gatehouses, each guarded by sharply dressed bodyguards.

At the first gate, Baldhead’s crew was stopped.

They weren’t qualified to proceed further.

Even Baldhead was halted at the second gate.

”The Great Master sent me to bring this Mr. Lin here, whom Brother Wu wishes to meet!” Baldhead emphasized to the two guards.

The two remained expressionless, merely nodding slightly, casting indifferent glances at Bai Xiaosheng and his entourage, ultimately fixing their gaze on Bai Xiaosheng with a hint of suspicion.

”This gentleman, are you sure?” a guard couldn’t help but ask Baldhead.

”I’m certain, and absolutely sure! The Great Master ordered it!” Baldhead thumped his chest in assurance, evoking the Great Master’s name.

Only then did the guards remain silent.

Although they recognized the former Mr. Lin, this unexpected Mr. Lin wasn’t the same individual. However, there are many Lins, and Mr. Lin was not unique; perhaps Brother Wu wanted to meet this particular one.

Didn’t Baldhead mention that the Great Master had confirmed it, so there was nothing to worry about. The Great Master would handle any issue, freeing them from unnecessary concerns...

”Is the Great Master inside?” Baldhead cautiously asked.

One guard acted as if he hadn’t heard, ignoring him.

The other guard said, ”The Great Master had something else to attend to and isn’t here now. However, he did mention this matter before leaving, and Brother Wu also gave explicit instructions. Here’s the deal: I’ll take this gentleman in; you take the other two to wait in the front building.”

Baldhead knew the rules and immediately nodded.

But with the Great Master absent, he felt slightly disappointed that he couldn’t showcase his capabilities directly before him.

Nevertheless, since Bai Xiaosheng agreed to come, Baldhead had already made the call here, so the Great Master must be aware.

A reward would be inevitable later on!

Hearing that only Bai Xiaosheng could proceed, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged worried glances.

Judging by the setup, Brother Wu didn’t seem like an easy character. If Bai Xiaosheng was not Lin Chensheng but was impersonating him, what if Brother Wu reacted angrily and ordered a punishment for Bai Xiaosheng? It was unpredictable!

Without Lei Ying by his side, Bai Xiaosheng would face a crowd alone, essentially fighting solo, assuming considerable risk.

However, refusing wasn’t an option as this was their territory, and they had to follow the rules. Otherwise, there would be no negotiation.

So, what to do?!

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying immediately looked toward Bai Xiaosheng.

”Go ahead, don’t worry. I’m just having a chat with Brother Wu; it’s not a problem,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled, reassuring Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

Actually, he was quite capable; even if he couldn’t win in a fight, he could escape. With Red Lotus boosting his body’s hormonal response, no average person could catch up with his speed and agility.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying glanced at the bodyguards again.

Lowering her voice, Lin Weiwei told Bai Xiaosheng, ”Be careful!”

Lei Ying added, ”Call if there’s trouble!”

As long as Bai Xiaosheng made a call, even at the slightest hint of danger, Lei Ying would rush in to rescue him, regardless of any obstacles!

Bai Xiaosheng nodded with a smile.

Baldhead took Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying away. As they left, they turned back to glance at Bai Xiaosheng one last time.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaosheng was being led inside by a bodyguard.

The final courtyard was even more beautiful, with the scent of flowers filling the air.

The building inside was warmly lit, exuding gentle ambiance.

The guard at the gate of the courtyard led Bai Xiaosheng to the building entrance, where another guard escorted Bai Xiaosheng upstairs. Finally, at the elevator entrance, a female butler awaited, ready to guide Bai Xiaosheng to the designated room. Each ”handoff” involved another round of scrutinizing Bai Xiaosheng’s identity, as if slightly incredulous. Yet, the prior instructions were consistently reiterated and confirmed as valid.

To reach this point required passing through several security checks. Even Bai Xiaosheng was impressed by Brother Wu’s elaborate setup!

Arriving at a room’s entrance, the woman butler unlocked the door and gestured invitingly for Bai Xiaosheng to enter.

Bai Xiaosheng felt something was off but still stepped inside.

Once inside, the door closed behind him and audibly locked.

Bai Xiaosheng paused, observing the scene before him, suddenly apprehensive.

Something was not right!
