Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2019: Chapter 1563: The Path Catherine Offers

Catherine discussed interests with Bai Xiaosheng, attempting to ”befriend” him, but Bai Xiaosheng claimed he wasn’t short on money? Clearly, this meant he didn’t want to ”go along with” them!

Is Bai Xiaosheng determined to expose Mr. Landvo’s affairs to the group headquarters, causing them to be discredited?!

Catherine slightly frowned and gazed at Bai Xiaosheng, her eyes carrying a hint of coldness. Raising her chin, she said, ”I know, Mr. Bai, you don’t lack money, but does anyone ever complain about having too much money? Naturally, the more, the better. Look at the Forbes Billionaire List, is there any tycoon who has ever retired after earning enough!”

”Besides, there has never been any grudge between us. Even if my family has offended you, I’ve already apologized. Moreover, Mr. Bai, you have already punished them. Isn’t that enough?”

”Mr. Bai, you have said it yourself: let’s not speak foolish things in front of sensible people, it’s just you and me here! You might as well tell me directly, what do you want?”

”Why make it a situation of mutual destruction!”

Catherine’s last sentence was spoken to Bai Xiaosheng in Chinese, already carrying a few hints of murderous intent.

In her words, ”you” had also been changed from the formal ”您” to the informal ”你”!

All these days, Catherine had been following the traces of Bai Xiaosheng and his two companions, tracing their path, and further speculating on how much they controlled.

But along the way, Catherine discovered she was completely being led by Bai Xiaosheng, chasing shadows everywhere.

Finally meeting face-to-face, it was deliberate on the other party’s part.

Bai Xiaosheng was becoming increasingly troublesome for Catherine.

Therefore, she tried her best to negotiate peace.

But if they truly had to tear each other apart, she would definitely spare no effort to deal with Bai!

”You’re exaggerating, Ms. Catherine, you’re exaggerating!” Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, ”What’s this mutual destruction nonsense, it’s too much. What I said just now was a joke, if it misled you, Ms. Catherine, I apologize. I admit, I like money, is that alright now? I would also love to befriend Mr. Landvo. Let’s set a time to meet with him, discuss some cooperation, and sign some joint agreements, shall we? If Mr. Landvo feels uncomfortable with me spending too much time in the South America region, I can pack up and return home.”

Bai Xiaosheng’s words were completely in line with what Catherine was saying.

It was, in theory, what Catherine had hoped for.

But she couldn’t feel happy about it.

Because Bai Xiaosheng’s words were too casual!

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t mention his private investigation of Landvo at all, as if it never happened, which annoyed Catherine.

Additionally, Catherine felt she couldn’t understand this young man’s thoughts at all.

”What do you think of this, Ms. Catherine?” Bai Xiaosheng asked with a seemingly sincere smile.

Catherine paused, gazing at Bai Xiaosheng before saying, ”Mr. Bai, you’re agreeing too easily, which makes me uncomfortable!”

Bai Xiaosheng immediately pulled a wry smile.

”If I refuse, you’re unhappy; if I agree, you’re still unhappy. Then, Ms. Catherine, why don’t you draw me a path?” Bai Xiaosheng said with an expression of helplessness.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng speak like this, Catherine’s expression softened, covering her mouth as she laughed, ”How could I possibly dare! You are an influential figure holding fort at one side; how could I draw a path for you!”

Though Catherine claimed she didn’t dare, she continued, ”Mr. Bai, you’ve been busy investigating in various locations these days, so we must make some gesture. We hope to offer you some company shares, which will result in over five hundred million US Dollars being transferred to your private account every year!”

Catherine offered Bai Xiaosheng a mountain of gold from the outset.

”We need your assistance in managing the ownership of these shares, you just need to provide information and sign. As for which companies, we cannot disclose it to you for ten years, but the money will definitely be there.” Catherine said with a smile, ”Transfer it to your account in America through safe channels.”

This woman, she really is quite formidable. Bai Xiaosheng secretly sighed.

Firstly, Catherine tempted Bai Xiaosheng with huge sums of money.

Secondly, she was enticing Bai Xiaosheng onto a pirate ship without telling him which one. Not revealing which company shares they were, worried he might openly accept them while secretly investigating.

After ten years, whether Bai Xiaosheng could abandon such a massive fortune in his account, and even if he wanted to wash his name clean by then, it wouldn’t be possible!

Most ingeniously, she asked Bai Xiaosheng to set up an American account. Once the huge fortune was transferred, they would have leverage over Bai Xiaosheng, enough untraceable, untaxed assets in that account to make him susceptible to a heavy penalty.

Once agreed, everyone on the pirate ship is tied together, neither of them can escape.

Five hundred million a year, in ten years that’s five billion!

Truly an amount one can’t spend in a lifetime!

Enough to tempt anyone to willingly take risks!

Frankly, even an executive president of a business division is worth that price!

The convenience provided to Landvo over ten years is worth far more than that!

What a calculation, what a strategy to ”turn an enemy into a friend”!

”Truly an irresistible temptation!” Bai Xiaosheng seemed intrigued, smacking his lips. ”So much money, if something goes wrong, it would mean hundreds of years in prison, right?”

Bai Xiaosheng essentially laid bare the trap Catherine had set for him.

”As you people over there say, ’fortune and glory are sought in danger’!” Catherine gazed at Bai Xiaosheng, smiling, ”If Mr. Bai is always our friend, what could possibly go wrong! And such a sum of money requires no effort on your part, we will handle everything for you. Is there an easier way to make money than this?”

There’s no denying, this woman is excellent at enticing people.

”As friends, is it not reasonable for me to offer some ’modest help’?” Bai Xiaosheng chuckled.

”It’s for all of us!” Catherine corrected with a smile.

In this world, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Even if she said there is, Bai Xiaosheng might not believe it.

”If even an executive president of a department needs fifty billion US Dollars to buy off, I wonder what the price would be for a position higher up!” Bai Xiaosheng seemed casual as he asked with a smile.

Catherine remained silent, her gaze sharp.

”Forget I asked.” Bai Xiaosheng joked with a laugh at her reaction, then continued, ”For such a big matter, Ms. Catherine, you have to let me think about it.”

Faced with this request, Catherine nodded, ”Alright.”

”How about a week, I’ll respond to you in a week.” Bai Xiaosheng replied.

Catherine directly shook her head.

”Then five days, or even three.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

Catherine seriously replied, ”Mr. Bai, you should know that from the moment I told you about this matter, you don’t have much time to think. We need your answer by midnight tonight!”

Bai Xiaosheng thought of delaying for time, but that’s impossible!

Catherine was well aware of this.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Catherine. This kind of woman, who competes with oneself every step, thinking everything through, is truly tough to deal with. The key is she doesn’t trust anything you say, won’t fall into your rhythm, but continues staunchly down her own path.

That means, no matter how convincingly you perform, it’s useless to her.

So it all comes down to relying on one’s own capabilities to decide who’s superior.

”By tonight at midnight?” Bai Xiaosheng nodded, ”Alright then!”

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng agree, Catherine’s face broke into a smile.

”But, what if I ultimately reject your offer?” Bai Xiaosheng suddenly asked with a smile, ”Then what will happen to me?”
