Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2223: Chapter 1691: Two “Private Conversations” (2)

Ma Weiqian’s eyes immediately held fear, and even the smile he forced out was somewhat distorted.

Lei Ying stared at him, making Ma Weiqian feel extremely uneasy.

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng walked into the restroom, where only Cooper was washing his hands by the sink, and no one else was around.

As Bai Xiaosheng approached, Cooper naturally noticed him and gave him a relatively genuine smile.

Bai Xiaosheng also smiled and said softly, ”Earlier, it was inconvenient, but here I’d like to say a few words to you, Mr. Cooper.”

”Oh? Sure!” Cooper smiled and said, ”What guidance does Mr. Bai have for me?”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, ”It’s not so much guidance, just some things that I can’t help but say.”

”Mr. Cooper, do you want to collaborate with our Zhenbei Group?” Bai Xiaosheng went straight to the point.

This question was very direct, and somewhat abrupt.

Cooper paused, looking at Bai Xiaosheng meaningfully, ”Look at what you said, the Zhenbei Group is one of the top enterprises in North America, and even on a global scale, it’s a rare business giant. Collaborating with Zhenbei Group is the wish of many aristocratic families, and naturally, our family wants to cooperate with the Zhenbei Group.”

Cooper continued, ”In fact, we have already started cooperation with more than one of your subsidiaries. This time, I was talking with Lady Ye Liena in the restaurant, which I believe Mr. Bai also saw. Maybe soon, news of cooperation between Kele KE Group and BL Technology will be released.”

Cooper spoke naturally, without any unusual sign.

This guy’s psychological quality is quite good, quickly adjusting his mindset.

However, in Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, he still seemed a bit pretentious and deliberate.

Despite the superb acting, it couldn’t fool Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes.

”Is that so? That’s truly delightful and congratulatory.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

Cooper immediately smiled, but before he could speak, Bai Xiaosheng continued murmuring, ”By coincidence, I recently wanted to propose to the group to conduct an examination on BL Technology. Because there are some problems in their cooperation with the Taylor Clan, which have harmed the interests of other companies for profit, affecting the group’s reputation.”

While Bai Xiaosheng was speaking, he was observing Cooper.

Cooper’s eyes showed a clear change but soon returned to normal, as he smiled and said, ”How could Mr. Bai tell such insider information to an outsider like me? This is really a bit... inappropriate.”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

If he hadn’t used a bit of strong medicine, he wouldn’t have been able to test Cooper’s real reaction.

”I only fear, Mr. Cooper, that in choosing partners, you might go astray.” Bai Xiaosheng said softly, ”Interests can sometimes blind people’s eyes.”

The Cooper Family and the Caroline Family have always had fissures, as Bai Yuefeng had told Bai Xiaosheng—so much so that it’s reached a point of hatred. Yet, they can still embark on the path of cooperation, which undeniably demonstrates that interests have a truly bewitching power.

Bai Xiaosheng was subtly reminding Cooper not to be blinded by the word ”interest,” and do things that shouldn’t be done.

Cooper gazed at Bai Xiaosheng, then suddenly smiled.

”I remember, Mr. Bai, you are the Executive President of the Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region, right?” Cooper chuckled lightly, ”Greater China Region, it’s...quite far from here.”

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Cooper and smiled, ”Across the sea, it is very far.”

”To be able to care about the healthy development of North American subsidiaries across the ocean, and still worry about the group’s reputation, I really admire Mr. Bai’s character and professional ethics. I hope one day to visit the Greater China Region to exchange some ideas with Mr. Bai.”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and nodded, ”Welcome.”

”Ah, there are friends outside waiting for me, so I won’t say much more. Please forgive me for leaving.” Cooper apologized with a smile, brushing past Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng did not stop him, nor did he say anything.

After Cooper left, he finally turned around, looking in that direction, and murmured to himself, ”Is it that they think I’m meddling, or do they really believe Caroline is invincible here?”

In Huaxia, there’s a saying ”A strong dragon does not suppress a local snake,” and it seems that here, there is a similar thought.

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head with a smile.

...

When Bai Xiaosheng returned, Cooper and Ma Weiqian were about to leave.

After all, with Bai Xiaosheng and the other three around, the two of them couldn’t really talk about anything.

With this ”unexpected event,” they probably wouldn’t discuss things again today, or even have contact in the short term.

Bai Xiaosheng bid farewell to the two, watched their backs as they walked away, and called over Lei Ying, whispering something to him.

Lei Ying nodded, got up directly, and left again.

Bai Xiaosheng did not sit down to touch the coffee on the table, but instead called Lin Weiwei to walk towards the back door of the café.

Just out of the restroom, Bai Xiaosheng noticed that the café had a back door. It’s an alley, seemingly quiet as if no one is around.

Bai Xiaosheng led Lin Weiwei out the back door and walked in a direction.

The further they walked, the darker and more secluded the alley seemed.

After a while, Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but speak to Bai Xiaosheng, ”Xiaosheng, where are we going? Have you been here before? I feel like you’re... very familiar with this place.”

Bai Xiaosheng led the way with a sense of ease and familiarity.

”Yes, when I was at the hotel, sometimes I would come down for a walk. I’ve been here before,” Bai Xiaosheng replied.

In fact, when Bai Xiaosheng noticed the existence of the alley, Red Lotus had already searched the entire layout of the place, imprinting it in Bai Xiaosheng’s mind.

Bai Xiaosheng is certainly familiar with it.

This is indeed a good ”place.”

Lin Weiwei no longer spoke, following Bai Xiaosheng forward.

After a while, the two suddenly heard voices ahead.

A voice, very panic-stricken, ”You, what are you doing?! Big guy, don’t act recklessly! You’re limiting my personal freedom, it’s a crime!”

The voice stunned Lin Weiwei.

”Isn’t that... Ma Weiqian’s voice?” Lin Weiwei said in surprise to Bai Xiaosheng.

Judging by the voice, Ma Weiqian was suffering a kidnapping?

Bai Xiaosheng showed no surprise, continuing to walk forward.

Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but want to ask, should they call the police.

At that moment, Lin Weiwei heard another voice, deep and fierce, ”Shut up! Walk yourself, or I’ll knock you out and drag you!”

Lin Weiwei suddenly opened her mouth wide, looking at Bai Xiaosheng in disbelief.

The voice belonged to Lei Ying.

The so-called ”kidnapper” is Lei Ying?

No need for Lin Weiwei to think much, nor Bai Xiaosheng to explain, as Lei Ying appeared in their sight pressing Ma Weiqian.

Lei Ying’s big hand pinched the back of Ma Weiqian’s neck, Ma Weiqian grimaced and sucked in air, pleading while walking, ”Oh no, it’s about to break, my neck is about to break. Brother, big master, ancestor... I’ll walk by myself, I’ll walk by myself, I beg you slow down, ouch, ouch, it hurts...”

Bai Xiaosheng led Lin Weiwei towards them.

Upon seeing them, Lei Ying released his grip, pushing Ma Weiqian forward.

Ma Weiqian stumbled, battered and embarrassed, he raised his eyes to see Bai Xiaosheng, first hesitating, then rubbing the back of his neck in anger, ”Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, what do you mean by this! This is kidnapping, I’m telling you, this matter is very serious!”

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei, Ma Weiqian’s courage bolstered.

Because Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei are reasonable people, unlike Lei Ying, who is a brute.

Therefore, Ma Weiqian stepped forward to threaten.

”What kidnapping? We don’t know, and it’s none of our business, we’re just passing by. If you slander me, I can sue you for false accusations,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a light smile, looking at Ma Weiqian, ”We only saw you and Lei Ying having a personal vendetta, fighting here. With us as witnesses, you’ll be implicated too.”

Bai Xiaosheng’s words changed the color of Ma Weiqian’s face.

According to the mutual fighting claim, Ma Weiqian indeed couldn’t escape responsibility.

But the key point, mutual fighting? Could he even dare to touch a single finger of that man’s...

”Mr. Bai, the judgment of heaven and earth, how can you say this, if you say this, then I...” Ma Weiqian couldn’t continue his ”I.”

Lei Ying walked over and slapped Ma Weiqian’s shoulder heavily, shouting coldly, ”Don’t waste our time! If you keep talking nonsense, I won’t be polite!”

Ma Weiqian shivered in fright.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, speaking gently, ”Mr. Ma, no need to be nervous, I just want to chat with you for a bit. If you agree, we won’t trouble you.”

Ma Weiqian couldn’t help but swallow, cautiously looking at Bai Xiaosheng, exploringly saying, ”Then, what if I don’t agree...”

Bai Xiaosheng still smiling warmly, pointed at Lei Ying, ”Then I’ll have him persuade you to agree.”
