Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2016: Chapter 1560: A Woman Whose Schemes Are Like a Demon

Landvo listened as his wife revealed the answer. When he found out that the person who had come to trouble his family was Bai Xiaosheng, his entire face became filled with fury, his look was terrifyingly dreadful.

”FUCK!” Landvo roared, slapping the glass of red wine off the table.

The wine glass hit the ground and shattered, the red wine splattering conspicuously.

”Bai, Xiao, Sheng! Fine, very fine!” Landvo gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with venomous resentment, wishing he could tear Bai Xiaosheng apart to vent his anger.

It’s not that Landvo lacked restraint or was bad at hiding his emotions, but dealing with those old folks lately had exhausted him mentally and physically, so in front of his wife, he didn’t need to disguise himself; he could get angry if he wanted, curse if he wanted.

After roaring and venting his anger, Landvo calmed down a bit. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him, and he squinted at his wife, Catherine, as though he realized something, ”The way you’re hiding and telling me about this, it’s not like you! Are you trying to add fuel to the fire? Do you feel that your mother and brother were humiliated and can’t take it, so you want me to launch a revenge?”

What kind of person is Landvo? To reach his current position, he isn’t stupid or a fool. Even when emotionally out of control, he quickly sensed there was more to the matter.

Catherine nodded calmly and admitted, ”A bit of that, indeed!”

Landvo scrutinized Catherine, remaining silent as he continued to listen.

While Landvo was devious, Catherine was not far behind!

Otherwise, how could Catherine become both his wife and his most capable assistant!

Catherine’s perspective wouldn’t be swayed by trivial personal grudges.

To urge her husband to fall out with someone of equal status over minor resentment isn’t her style.

If personal vendettas impacted wealth and long-term interests, wouldn’t that be utterly foolish!

”Do you have anything else to tell me?” Landvo stared at Catherine, he asked.

Catherine leaned back against the sofa, swirling the wine in her glass, and said unhurriedly, ”At first, I really wanted to vent for my mother and brother, but after analyzing it, I realized there’s no benefit in clashing head-on with that Bai Xiaosheng from Huaxia. It would only increase the risks of our current operations, it’s not worth the loss! So, I considered abandoning the idea of revenge!”

Landvo listened quietly.

”But then, upon reviewing the whole situation, something felt off,” Catherine sipped her wine and said in a deep voice while looking at Landvo, ”That Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t be so arrogant as to brazenly come running across the ocean to your house, where he knows you are practically a superior, and openly harass your family! So afterwards, I asked Meifu who had woken up about the details!”

Landvo’s eyes showed interest.

”Meifu said that Bai Xiaosheng clashed with his subordinate—Ruby, who manages grey industry—before meeting him, while keeping his true identity hidden!”

Catherine’s words made Landvo frown.

”This means Bai Xiaosheng had touched the edge of our underground dealings and probably sensed something. Otherwise, he wouldn’t need to hide his identity until a critical moment to protect himself!” Catherine said in a deep voice.

Judging from these two points, she boldly hypothesized and hit the mark.

Landvo nodded.

Catherine continued, ”I had Meifu recount every word he exchanged with Bai Xiaosheng, not missing a single punctuation mark. Although I only got about fifty to sixty percent of the content, I deduced one fact...”

Landvo immediately looked at Catherine.

”That Bai Xiaosheng was probing Meifu!” Catherine’s tone carried a hint of strangeness, ”Why would he be probing Meifu?!”

This question was enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.

Even Landvo appeared solemn.

”Regrettably, Meifu didn’t immediately detect his intentions,” Catherine sighed.

”Did that Huaxia person discover something on my turf? Did he find out about our business!” Landvo said in a deep voice.

Over the years, it wasn’t just one person who suspected Landvo of embezzling. Some intended to share the pie, becoming his ”friends,” while others wanted him dead, naturally becoming his ”enemies,” but unfortunately, not a single ”enemy” had their wishes come true!

And Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t succeed either!

With personal grudges mingled with personal interests, even Landvo was truly harboring murderous intent towards Bai Xiaosheng.

”So what do we do next?” Catherine asked.

In fact, she was always the one to make suggestions, not the one asking for solutions.

”What’s your suggestion?” Landvo looked at her.

”My suggestion is to have someone contact him and see if he insists on going after us. If everyone can get along, then I’ll accept the issues with my mom and brother. But if it doesn’t work out, then let’s settle new and old scores together!” Catherine’s eyes turned vicious, ”Letting this legendary young man from Huaxia fall in South America doesn’t sound bad!”

Watching his wife, Landvo slowly revealed a smile, ”It seems like you already have a plan to ruin him completely?”

Catherine pursed her lips and smiled, a chilling smile.

There’s a saying in Huaxia: There’s nothing more venomous than a woman’s heart!

Meanwhile.

In New Orleans, Bai Xiaosheng and his two companions checked into their hotel room. After a day’s discussion, they had some preliminary plans.

Bai Xiaosheng was summarizing with them—

”Meifu and that Ruby are definitely two key figures involved with Landvo’s grey industry. Lei Ying, you’re responsible for keeping an eye on them! Regarding certain special ways, you understand them; spend however much, don’t worry, I’ll cover it! Find your own people! Make sure to find clues, even evidence, in the shortest possible time!”

Lei Ying nodded, accepting the command.

”Weiwei, as we agreed, you’re in charge of logistics and communication with Elder Xia’s side. Have the best financial, economic, and business analysts from home join in to assist. I want them to analyze any commercial clues in the shortest time, preferably drawing inferences from one instance to another!”

Lin Weiwei nodded.

”As for me, I’ll be engaging with Jiang Kuo, the people at headquarters, and others like Fang Beijun, probing discreetly. I can’t tell them the truth to prevent any leaks, but probing and analysis will still get us what we want!”

Bai Xiaosheng established the strategy and emphasized while looking at the other two, ”Most of our opportunities lie before Landvo returns, maybe even before then! I believe with his alertness and abilities, he will definitely notice we are up to something! Therefore our time is short!”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying both nodded.

”Don’t worry!”

”We will uncover something!”

Bai Xiaosheng gazed into the distant void and said in a deep voice, ”This time, being the away team means there are many unfavorable factors for us!”

”But since I’ve decided to get involved, I, Bai Xiaosheng, absolutely cannot return in defeat!”

”Perhaps, this is precisely my opportunity!”

As Bai Xiaosheng thought of this, he suddenly heard a crisp sound that others couldn’t, coming from Red Lotus’s notification.

”Freeze period for promotion tasks: Ended!”

”Promotion task release!”

”Investigate and report the head of the South American district to the company until the other party is punished!”

”Upon completion of this task, you will be promoted. Due to the selected side task in this stage, the score gain in the next stage will increase by five percent! The next stage’s position will be uncontrollable! The assistance obtained in the next stage will be in a weaker category!”

The promotion task was finally issued!

Bai Xiaosheng’s heart grew increasingly fiery.
