Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2264: Chapter 1715: The Storm Is Rising

Bai Xiaosheng was taken from the hotel to the Ganande police station for investigation. Nick, Ma Weiqian as witnesses, and Jin Yunxuan as the victim, went along.

The departure from the hotel was lively all the way.

The reporters who were arranged in advance chased and photographed all the way, making Bai Xiaosheng the center of attention. It won’t be long before this matter hits the media headlines.

This is an era of information explosion, where time is money. Some people were already editing pictures and information on site, uploading them directly to the internet to capture the first hotspot. There are quite a few such people.

The moment Bai Xiaosheng walked out of the hotel door, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.

The two were anxious and shocked, pushing through the crowd, trying to reach Bai Xiaosheng, but unfortunately there were too many people. The reporters were skilled at working in a crowd, even Lei Ying couldn’t push through.

Bai Xiaosheng, at this moment, appeared calm. He faced the overwhelming flashes peacefully and even glanced at Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying from afar, shaking his head slightly, indicating he was fine.

Finally, Bai Xiaosheng was taken onto the car and driven away.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying also got a car to follow closely.

Before Bai Xiaosheng was taken to the police station for interrogation and investigation, news had already flooded Ganande’s media outlets.

”Executive President Bai Xiaosheng of Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region was taken by the police for investigation!”

”Shocking! The young star of Huaxia’s business world has committed such disgraceful acts!”

”Violence, rape? The youngest distinguished businessman ever caught in a scandal!”

The investigation was yet to begin, but all sides were nearly confirming the claims, besieging Bai Xiaosheng.

In today’s era, once news explodes, it is received globally, faster than the speed of sound, faster than the speed of light.

In Huaxia, the news hit the headlines almost simultaneously, not just in Huaxia, but in Europe, South America, Australia, all made the front pages.

It was as if someone was operating in sync.

By midnight local time in Ganande, all the major figures close to Bai Xiaosheng had received the news.

Back in Huaxia, Xiahou Qi immediately convened Zheng Honghu, Li Haofeng, and other capable assistants to activate the emergency plan.

It has to be mentioned, thanks to Landvo’s pitfall in South America for Bai Xiaosheng, he realized the importance of crisis management from then on, and commissioned Xiahou Qi to establish the highest tier response team.

The aim was to avoid turmoil for all sides due to his incident and prevent the home fires from resuming.

By now, every imaginable contingency plan was fully prepared, though no one expected it to be used so soon.

With previous experience as a lesson, parties collaborating with Bai Xiaosheng stabilized the situation upon hearing the news, rather than rushing to make moves or staying out of it as before.

After receiving relatively stable feedback from all parties, Xiahou Qi finally sighed in relief.

Xiahou Qi was the first to call Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying across the ocean, learning that Bai Xiaosheng was under investigation and the two hadn’t been able to meet Bai Xiaosheng yet. The uncertainty made him anxious.

Xiahou Qi specifically instructed Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to inform him immediately upon receiving any news.

They hurriedly agreed and quickly hung up the phone.

Across the ocean, Xiahou Qi held his phone, heavy-hearted, murmuring, ”Sheng, you must have realized by now, it’s lonely at the top, especially for someone so young, unyielding, and unique like you! But if you pull through this, you’ll have grown another step!”

Xiahou Qi didn’t believe Bai Xiaosheng would behave as the media described.

In fact, everyone familiar with Bai Xiaosheng, aware of his character, didn’t believe it.

Simultaneously, global media voiced differing opinions, demanding truth and hoping for rational restraint in commentary.

This was part of Bai Xiaosheng’s prepared crisis response.

His allies and friends across continents and countries jointly activated media resources and crisis defense mechanisms.

Of course, this type of media defense mechanism was only to slow down the deterioration of the situation.

What happens next still depends on how things unfold with Bai Xiaosheng.

Even Xiahou Qi thought if the situation worsens, they might face a crisis like before.

Moreover, Xiahou Qi and others worried about another aspect, the reaction from Zhenbei Group headquarters!

At this moment, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were waiting for news about Bai Xiaosheng, while their phones were constantly ringing.

Bai Xiaosheng’s friends in Huaxia called, allies from various family groups called.

Even Wei Xuelian called immediately to inquire.

Others could be left aside, but Wei Xuelian needed a clear explanation!

Lin Weiwei promised Wei Xuelian with certainty that Bai Xiaosheng would never do such a thing.

Wei Xuelian interrupted her, saying she never doubted it.

Wei Xuelian said she would employ media resources from the Wei Family and Bai Family to neutralize the deteriorating opinion, and she herself would return to Ganande immediately.

For that kind of trust and concern, Lin Weiwei felt grateful.

After hanging up, Lin Weiwei still worried about Bai Xiaosheng.

However, the truth is, once public opinion forms, no amount of individual effort can suppress it.

In the face of public opinion, regardless of Bai Xiaosheng’s innocence, his reputation will be severely impacted.

Unless there is a major reversal.

Once entering judicial proceedings, the photographed moment of Bai Xiaosheng pushing Jin Yunxuan could likely serve as strong evidence.

All of this could further affect Bai Xiaosheng’s career!

Thus, from start to finish, Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, and everyone concerned about Bai Xiaosheng were anxious.

While all this was happening and fermenting, one person received news and updates first.

That person was Caroline.

At midnight, Caroline was still in her study, browsing the news on her tablet, listening to her secretary report various situations.

”This man truly isn’t simple. Voices appeared from all media immediately, trying to neutralize the public opinion. It seems we need more drafts, and the rhetoric needs to be more intense,” Caroline said to her secretary, ”Tell those big journalists not to sleep tonight, give me twice the number of drafts. No, three times!”

Caroline was determined to stir up the matter.

”Have Ambray hire the best law firms in America, and also hire a few of the most well-known ones, I want Bai Xiaosheng to lose the upcoming lawsuit!”

”Additionally, let the corporate allies voice their opinion, strongly suggesting the disposition of Bai Xiaosheng...”

Caroline, like a general in war, deployed her strategies systematically, aiming to end Bai Xiaosheng, or at least make him suffer, perhaps demote.

The secretary noted everything meticulously.

Just then, Caroline’s phone on the table rang. She glanced at the number and waved her hand to the secretary, ”You go ahead, implement my instructions.”

The secretary nodded promptly, withdrew respectfully, and closed the door.

Only then did Caroline pick up her phone, answering with a laugh, ”Hello, is it Vice Chairman Morgan!”

”Caroline, I didn’t expect you to pull a stunt like this.” On the phone, Vice Chairman Morgan laughed, ”Well, it was within my expectations. You muddied the waters enough, very good, then let’s take the opportunity to sink that Bai Xiaosheng into the river.”

Vice Chairman Morgan said straightforwardly, ”Starting tomorrow, I’ll make sure to voice to headquarters, the more the better. Then, I’ll deliver the final blow to the Bai family!”

Caroline laughed heartily, her eyes shining.

”With you taking action, he’s doomed!”
