Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2038: Chapter 1575: The Clash Between Two People

Bai Xiaosheng sat across from Yun Guangzhi, his demeanor calm and collected, showing no signs of arrogance despite the public support and backing of the Qin Family, nor any agitation from being wronged. He appeared entirely composed and genuinely sincere about discussing the matter at hand.

Seeing this, Yun Guangzhi nodded secretly to himself.

With his keen perception, he could easily tell that Bai Xiaosheng was not putting on a front; he truly wasn’t the least bit restless or insecure!

This young man is quite something! Regardless of whether he’s done anything wrong, just this level of composure alone makes him far superior to those fools I’ve taught by more than a few times over! Yun Guangzhi nodded internally.

Of course, it’s best if Bai Xiaosheng hasn’t done anything wrong. If he has, it would definitely be something major! If a villain could achieve this young man’s level, who could ever handle him in the future!

While Yun Guangzhi scrutinized Bai Xiaosheng, Bai Xiaosheng was also examining him.

Judging by his appearance, this elder seemed to be a Huaxia person, appearing at least seventy or eighty years old, yet his spirit was so lively, his build as upright as ever, those muscles sturdy—no less than someone in their forties or fifties, and those eyes possessing an unparalleled penetrating gaze.

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t believe he was part of the police force here; it just didn’t seem like it, plus he wasn’t in uniform either.

But to be able to sit here, surely meant he was not a person of ordinary standing.

”Elder, how should I address you?” Bai Xiaosheng asked politely.

”Yun Guangzhi,” Yun Guangzhi replied, neither warmly nor coldly.

Yun Guangzhi. Bai Xiaosheng’s interest was piqued, and Red Lotus quickly searched his background. Upon ”seeing” this figure’s resume, even Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback.

Historically, there was a period when South America faced rampant problems, prompting the Twelve Nations to join forces to establish an international organization and a training school—the Twelve Countries Police Alliance, which could be considered the Hunter Academy of the police investigation sector, and this Yun Guangzhi was the chief instructor for the first ten terms, holding a lifetime position as Executive Director!

Besides this, Yun Guangzhi possessed an array of titles that would take up a four to five hundred-word page if stacked, and his honors and medals could cover an entire wall, with world leaders holding him in high esteem.

This person is truly a significant figure!

”Have you heard of my name?” Yun Guangzhi asked mildly, observing Bai Xiaosheng’s reaction.

Bai Xiaosheng’s surprise, though momentary, did not escape Yun Guangzhi’s keen eyes.

”You’re extremely well-known!” Bai Xiaosheng admitted.

A Huaxia individual, achieving such honors in this realm, inherently commands great respect. Moreover, Yun Guangzhi, being of Huaxia origin, has always been fervently devoted to Huaxia, consistently rallying for donations and aid whenever natural or man-made disasters occur domestically.

Bai Xiaosheng holds great respect for someone who never forgets their roots!

”As it stands, you are even more famous now.” Yun Guangzhi remarked with a chuckle, making a joke with Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng was quite the ”man of the hour”; this week, he had made headlines across major media outlets.

”I’d rather not have this fame. People often say fame brings woes; I’ve been traveling back and forth these days and it’s truly exhausting.” Bai Xiaosheng replied with a wry smile.

The young man still had room for humor. Yun Guangzhi found this unexpected.

However, Yun Guangzhi’s impression of Bai Xiaosheng improved slightly.

Soon after, Bai Xiaosheng looked at Yun Guangzhi and asked, ”Do you need me to recount everything I know because I can start right now...”

Before Bai Xiaosheng could finish his sentence, Yun Guangzhi gestured for him to stop.

”You must have said those things ten times already, if not more. If you repeat them, you’ll tire yourself out; I’ve reviewed all the case files, and frankly, I’m tired of hearing them too. Let’s talk about something else,” Yun Guangzhi said with a smile.

In Yun Guangzhi’s view, a smart person like Bai Xiaosheng, having explained things ten or so times, would have precisely covered everything without any slips. Asking more questions would be pointless. It’s better to chat about various topics without a fixed subject, guiding Bai Xiaosheng’s words to perhaps catch him in a slip during an unthought-out moment.

Moreover, Yun Guangzhi was keen to determine what kind of person Bai Xiaosheng truly was.

Is he loyal yet treacherous, or treacherous yet loyal?

This mattered greatly.

Yun Guangzhi was aware that some were manipulating public opinion, deliberately framing Bai Xiaosheng, yet he still had the academy urge various countries’ policing departments to expedite the situation, succumbing to those individuals’ wishes, effectively adding pressure on Bai Xiaosheng.

Through facing pressure, one’s defenses might falter, revealing their true nature.

Bai Xiaosheng candidly said, ”Since Elder Yun wishes to discuss other topics, apart from inconvenient privacies, I’m open to discussing with you.”

Yun Guangzhi nodded with a smile, satisfied with Bai Xiaosheng’s attitude.

”Huaxia’s development has been impressive in recent years; I haven’t been back in a few years. I’ve seen many astonishing infrastructure projects and new developments online; are these examples of certain regions, or is it a widespread trend...”

Yun Guangzhi started to discuss seemingly unrelated topics.

”Alright, let’s discuss this.” With Red Lotus, Bai Xiaosheng naturally ”knew much,” and immediately began conversing with Yun Guangzhi.

Yun Guangzhi frequently posed questions, and Bai Xiaosheng responded by following his lead.

The topics weren’t fixed; they talked wherever the conversation led them.

However, Bai Xiaosheng soon discovered that during their idle chat, Yun Guangzhi would suddenly incorporate some very subtle and random questions.

Speaking of construction engineering, Bai Xiaosheng was involved in a ”bribery” case, which pertained to an infrastructure project.

”This old guy, actually beating around the bush with me!” Bai Xiaosheng suddenly realized.

To cover up a lie, you have to tell a hundred more lies to patch up the loopholes.

Yun Guangzhi was casually chatting, interspersing various questions, trying to find loopholes!

Naturally, Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t afraid; a clear conscience fears no accusation, speaking the truth would suffice.

However, Bai Xiaosheng truly admired this method of inquiry. Using the most casual conversation and least significant questions to make the other party lower their guard, indirectly probing, employing a strategic detour. This requires the person leading the conversation to have top-notch control over topics, and also the ability to dissect countless topics, weave around them without getting confused themselves.

In comparison, Bai Xiaosheng had previously used similar conversational skills, but compared to him, it was like a novice in the presence of a master.

Is this the method of the Chief Instructor of the Twelve Countries Police Alliance Training Academy?

Bai Xiaosheng was both shocked and a little excited.

Yun Guangzhi couldn’t just use this one technique for chatting and investigating Bai Xiaosheng; he then involved various conversation skills, all at his fingertips.

Some Bai Xiaosheng could detect immediately, while for others, he needed to ponder the conversation to understand.

Simply amazing!

The more Bai Xiaosheng chatted, the more interested he became; he directly asked Red Lotus to assist in recording and was learning stealthily while conversing.

Gaining some knowledge from a person like Yun Guangzhi already made Bai Xiaosheng feel greatly benefited.

This was something Yun Guangzhi himself perhaps had not anticipated. While investigating Bai Xiaosheng, this kid was actually ”learning” from him.

The more Yun Guangzhi talked with Bai Xiaosheng, the more he was convinced that this kid was honest and straightforward, not a great criminal or villain!

Yun Guangzhi trusted his own judgment and intuition a lot; without these skills, how could he have served as the Chief Instructor of the Twelve Countries Police Alliance for ten terms?

For those cases, this little guy was most likely framed. Yun Guangzhi thought privately.

Witnesses can be falsified, physical evidence too, fingerprints, with some effort, are not difficult to obtain in this era.

In fact, before he came, Yun Guangzhi had already investigated for a while and knew about Bai Xiaosheng’s incident at Andeliao Castle.

Yun Guangzhi deduced that Bai Xiaosheng’s matter being exposed was entirely orchestrated by Landvo, and in reverse-tracing those fueling the situation in the media, he also found traces of Landvo.

Obviously, Landvo intended to deal with this Bai Xiaosheng.

Before coming, Yun Guangzhi thought either Bai Xiaosheng had issues which were exposed, or he was innocent and framed.

Now, it seems the latter is the more probable.

At the end of their conversation, Yun Guangzhi concluded that Bai Xiaosheng was not likely to be problematic, but still, he didn’t want to immediately help Bai Xiaosheng clear his name; instead, he preferred to remain silent for the moment, using this opportunity to investigate Landvo.

Landvo is a cancer, with many illegal activities in South America. Yun Guangzhi had been eyeing him for a long time, but had never had the chance.

This time, Yun Guangzhi wanted to employ a strategy of ”fisherman profiting from the fight between the sandpiper and the clam”.

Of course, this meant that Bai Xiaosheng would have to endure some grievance and sacrifice.

But compared to removing a cancer, Yun Guangzhi was willing to play the villain for once.

About this, Yun Guangzhi felt no issue at all, much less guilt.

Living to his age, having seen too many things, he had long hardened his heart.

At the end of their conversation, Yun Guangzhi stopped talking, instead stretched lazily and said to Bai Xiaosheng languidly, ”We’ve been talking for two or three hours, right? I’m actually a bit tired, what time is it, I think we can wrap it up here.”

Bai Xiaosheng’s mouth was dry too, so he immediately nodded and said, ”Alright.”

As he spoke, Bai Xiaosheng raised his wrist to check the time. He was wearing the watch gifted to him by Sebastian, the old shop owner of Hugo’s Home.

”Quarter past eleven.” Bai Xiaosheng reported the time to Yun Guangzhi.

Sitting opposite Bai Xiaosheng, Yun Guangzhi, who seemed laid back, inadvertently saw Bai Xiaosheng’s watch and was suddenly taken aback.

Then, Yun Guangzhi’s expression changed, grasping Bai Xiaosheng’s wrist and pulling it toward him, his gaze fixed intensely on Bai Xiaosheng’s watch.

”Where did you get this watch!” Yun Guangzhi asked urgently.

There was an additional hint of excitement in his eyes!
