Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2220: Chapter 1689: More and More Interesting

Out of suspicion about the conversation between Cooper and Ye Liena, Bai Xiaosheng agreed to let Lei Ying follow them and see what’s going on.

If there’s nothing amiss, that’s all the better, but should there be any issue, ignoring it now will lead to regrets later.

Besides, Lei Ying is a top-notch tracking expert, able to stealthily gather intel without being detected, thus avoiding any unnecessary misunderstandings.

His trust in Lei Ying’s ability is one reason Bai Xiaosheng permitted him to do this.

After Lei Ying left, Bai Xiaosheng continued dining with Lin Weiwei.

This matter couldn’t be rushed; Lei Ying would need some time.

However, it was just a quarter of an hour before Lei Ying returned.

Bai Xiaosheng looked up inadvertently and saw Lei Ying approaching, surprised.

They said Lei Ying was fast at his work, but this was too quick...

Could it be that the two drove away and Lei Ying couldn’t catch up?

If so, Lei Ying would surely pursue them.

Returning with empty hands would be a great humiliation for Lei Ying’s ability...

Lin Weiwei noticed Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze and looked over, seeing Lei Ying approaching.

”Why did you come back so soon?” Lin Weiwei asked in surprise. ”Did you lose track of them?”

Among the three, they were straightforward with each other, rarely avoiding any topic. Lin Weiwei was the only girl among them, and she had considerable ’authority,’ always speaking directly.

Lei Ying shook his head, denying, ”No, I didn’t lose track.”

Lei Ying sat down as he spoke.

”Then why did you return so quickly?” Bai Xiaosheng asked curiously this time.

Lin Weiwei also looked at Lei Ying.

”That’s because they’re just next door,” Lei Ying corrected himself, saying, ”Well, not exactly next door. There are two stores in between. You remember that cafe, right?”

Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei, thought briefly and knew the place Lei Ying referred to.

”They knew we were here and chose to discuss matters so close to us?” Lin Weiwei found it unbelievable and looked at Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng pondered silently.

Lei Ying spoke, ”Maybe they had a prearranged meeting time and place, which couldn’t be changed in time, not expecting to find us here.”

Lei Ying continued, ”In my opinion, even if they were discussing matters they didn’t want us to know, meeting us incidentally, moving to the next door to chat is a smart move!”

Lin Weiwei thought it over and agreed with Lei Ying.

Being ’in the dark’ and ’unexpected’ could actually make their conversation more ’secure.’

”And guess who I just saw!” Lei Ying suddenly had an air of mystery and said to the two.

This piqued Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei’s curiosity, and they couldn’t help but look at him.

”Did you see Caroline?” Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but comment.

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, directly rejecting Lin Weiwei’s guess, ”That’s unlikely. Given Caroline’s status, if she were to have a secret discussion, she’d choose a safer venue, such as at home, rather than a place like this. Right now, during her election period, she’s especially cautious about her actions and won’t involve herself easily. Moreover, Cooper’s identity may not be sufficient to engage directly with her.”

Their last encounter at the banquet was merely because Caroline had a reason to attend, and Cooper’s direct confrontation was more akin to a calf unafraid of the tiger.

Lin Weiwei felt Bai Xiaosheng’s reasoning was sound and looked at Lei Ying, ”So, who could it be? I get the sense it’s someone we know?”

Lei Ying stopped beating around the bush and directly told them, ”It’s Ma Weiqian!”

Ma Weiqian?

Lin Weiwei froze momentarily, then sneered with some disdain, ”I thought it was someone else, but it turns out, it’s just him...”

This Ma Weiqian is some kind of senior manager at Ambery Company, and he previously constantly annoyed Cui Chen and Cui Xuexue. At the medical association banquet, his attitude toward Caroline was like a begging dog, wagging his tail.

Well, she is his owner after all.

Lin Weiwei despises such people and was dismissive of even mentioning them.

”But, is Ye Liena really taking Mr. Cooper to meet him?” Lin Weiwei was still incredulous.

Ma Weiqian qualified to discuss matters with Cooper?

Could there be someone else?

But if anyone else was meeting Cooper and Ye Liena, wouldn’t they send a subordinate ahead first?

Both Cooper and Ye Liena showed up personally.

If someone had such pomp and circumstance that even Cooper would flip.

To think themselves bigger than Caroline.

Faced with Lin Weiwei’s doubts, Lei Ying shook his head, ”I don’t know.”

”It could also be true,” Bai Xiaosheng said, ”Ma Weiqian’s status is indeed lower than Ye Liena and Cooper, but not too low. Moreover, his backing with Ambery Group isn’t insignificant! If Old Ma got the authorization, naturally he could converse with Cooper!”

Bai Xiaosheng then stroked his chin, a smile playing at his lips, muttering to himself, ”It’s truly intriguing.”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying couldn’t help but look at him.

”Huh? Intriguing?” Lin Weiwei glanced at Lei Ying, puzzled and murmured, ”What’s intriguing about this?”

Lei Ying also looked at Bai Xiaosheng, his gaze questioning.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at them, laughing, ”I’m talking about the identities of these three being intriguing!”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were instantly enlightened.

Cooper represents his own family business, which is an enterprise outside Zhenbei Group.

Ye Liena represents BL Technology Company, a Zhenbei Group enterprise.

As for Ma Weiqian, he’s a representative of Ambery Company, Caroline Family business!

Meaning, Caroline’s family business, the group business she’s responsible for, and her family business’s competitor have representatives sitting together discussing matters!

What are they discussing?

This is the intriguing part!

Cooper seems an opponent, a competitor to Caroline, but in business, there’s no eternal enemy, no eternal opponent, only eternal interests!

By following this reasoning, Cooper might cooperate with Ambery, backed by Ma Weiqian.

But why involve a Zhenbei Group enterprise—BL Technology Company?

Bai Xiaosheng pondered.

In business cooperation, both parties exchange something to earn greater profits.

But what if Ambery wants to secure cooperation with Cooper without paying its price?

”Find someone else to pay!”

If BL Technology could pay the costs Ambery should pay, to secure Cooper’s cooperation, it’s entirely possible!

BL Technology Company’s new technology could indeed be adopted by Cooper’s enterprises, or Cooper Family’s other businesses might need it!

Here it involves using the group’s funds to foot the bill for one’s own business...

Considering what Caroline has done regarding the Taylor Family’s matters, it’s not impossible!

Bai Xiaosheng pointed out this possibility, and Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying nodded immediately.

”If that’s the case, we can’t ignore this! Xiaosheng, you just assumed position as the second-in-command at headquarters’ Surveillance Department, and there’s not been an act of authority, let this be the first blaze of the new regime!” Lin Weiwei said excitedly, ”Besides, we’re not afraid to offend Caroline, and we already have our differences! She won’t cooperate with us anyway!”

Lin Weiwei was very open about the clash with Caroline.

In her view, no matter how domineering Caroline was, she wasn’t a match for Xiaosheng.

”We indeed can’t ignore it,” Lei Ying added.

Even if they persuaded Bai Xiaosheng, he’d ultimately disagree; when it concerns the group’s interests, Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t let it slide.

”Then let’s go over and take a look,” Bai Xiaosheng decided.

But he seemed to have thought of something.

”This matter, thinking this way, seems reasonable, but when laid out, it feels overly smooth...” Bai Xiaosheng murmured.

Looked at from another angle, this could involve other possibilities!

Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes sparkled, and rather than expressing it, he smiled.

”This is getting more intriguing!”
