Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2548: Chapter 1864: No Free Lunch

The call Yang Yishan made to Bai Xiaosheng definitely doesn’t just represent her alone; it must be with the intent of the Yang Family behind it.

After all, when it comes to business matters, it immediately involves real silver or gold. Even if it’s just utilizing connections, the cost is real and tangible benefits.

The predicament Bai Xiaosheng and the others currently face is not simple, and resolving it will require immense effort.

Clearly, to solve such a big issue and spend so much, Yang Yishan alone cannot be making the decision on behalf of the Yang Family.

So, who directed her to make this call? Was it Yang Xiaoyun or Yang Junluo?

If they directed it, why didn’t they personally call to win favor? Wouldn’t it be better received as a goodwill from the Yang Family if they did it themselves?

Bai Xiaosheng is skilled in psychological analysis; he listened carefully and judged the meaning behind Yang Yishan’s words but didn’t detect anything unusual.

Perhaps, the Yang Family genuinely wants to help this time, maybe to strengthen their relationship and eliminate the influence of past misunderstandings and conflicts.

Or perhaps, Yang Yishan is unaware of other elements involved.

Bai Xiaosheng is not a conspiracy theorist; he doesn’t want to always think of others as malicious.

And since Bai Xiaosheng mainly excels at analyzing micro-expressions, it’s crucial to observe face-to-face. Just judging by tone over the phone can lead to inaccuracies.

”Then I will first thank Miss Yang and the Yang Family. I would like to hear your solution,” Bai Xiaosheng said over the phone.

Right now, the most pressing issue is resolving the predicaments faced by the business group. Other things need not be overthought; dealing with issues when they arise isn’t too late.

”Should I discuss it right over the phone?” Yang Yishan paused and said, ”Or should I come and find you, and we can chat slowly face-to-face.”

Bai Xiaosheng thought about it and indeed, such a big matter cannot be clearly explained with just a few words over the phone.

”If Miss Yang is free tonight, I would invite you for tea.” Bai Xiaosheng checked the time and roughly calculated the arrival to their accommodation and replied.

Their return time will be a bit late, so dinner together might not be feasible, but they could definitely enjoy some tea.

”Okay.” Yang Yishan agreed readily.

Bai Xiaosheng confirmed the appointment with her and then hung up the phone.

Within the bus, the debate continued. Everyone had compiled several response plans, but none were perfectly satisfactory, not every individual felt satisfied.

In fact, if Milo’s side doesn’t relent, there won’t be any perfectly satisfactory solution. Everyone is striving to find a solution that brings the least harm to their side.

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t tell everyone present about the matter with the Yang Family. After all, Yang Yishan just mentioned it, and Bai Xiaosheng doesn’t yet know the actual situation; prematurely disclosing it would not be appropriate.

”Everyone should return to their seats and rest for now. This journey is long, and everyone is tired from the day, so take a rest. If you have the energy, you can think it over; this matter is not urgent for now,” Bai Xiaosheng suggested.

Everyone nodded in agreement with Bai Xiaosheng’s suggestion and returned to their seats.

Bai Xiaosheng also returned to his seat, closed his eyes, and reflected.

The rest of the journey was calm and uneventful.

The convoy arrived back at their accommodations late at night.

After getting off the bus, everyone headed to the restaurant for a simple meal and then went back to rest.

After returning, Bai Xiaosheng instructed Lin Weiwei to prepare tea and dried fruits, and then patiently waited for Yang Yishan to visit.

The scheduled time was near now, so it shouldn’t be long.

Upon discovering how quickly the Yang Family learned of the news and acted, both Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying found the situation intriguing.

”I wonder if the Yang Family and Karan’s business world is up to something again. Are they sincerely trying to help, or do they have ulterior motives?” Lin Weiwei said defensively. ”The Yang Family isn’t exactly innocent when it comes to smooth-talking while stabbing in the back, Xiaosheng, we must stay vigilant!”

Ever since last time, Lin Weiwei never liked how Yang Yishan looked at Bai Xiaosheng, and she hated the Yang Family’s past deeds. That’s why she spoke this way.

”I actually think the Yang Family won’t act against us. Even if they hold grudges for being forced to bow to us, they won’t retaliate or seek revenge so soon, especially after signing the contract with our side. While the troubles we face are pressing, they aren’t crises—they’d be foolish to kick us when we’re down,” Lei Ying shook his head, disagreeing.

”Hmph, how can you be so sure? Having no sense of vigilance at all! Am I wrong to suggest caution?” Lin Weiwei retorted coldly to Lei Ying.

Lei Ying shrugged, mumbling, ”Just being objective, I’m just being objective.”

”Then you might be suspected of colluding with the enemy!” Lin Weiwei glared at him, a heavy charge thrown his way.

Lei Ying immediately shut his mouth.

As a married man, he knew that sometimes reasoning with women is futile...

Especially when they strongly believe they are right...

”Alright, alright, stop arguing. I’ll be mindful of these matters,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, mediating, ”You both are tired today, go rest early. I’ll talk with Yang Yishan alone later.”

This statement made Lin Weiwei furrow her brow, ”Are you two talking alone, behind closed doors?”

In Lin Weiwei’s view, a single man and a woman alone together behind closed doors in the deep night seemed rather sketchy!
