Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2364 - 1783: A Happy Ending (Part 2)

The bus driver, along with several guards, nodded in full agreement with Lin Weiwei’s statement.

Lei Ying then briefed the two individuals set to accompany him, using English to detail the circumstances and countermeasures, ensuring they stayed prepared for whatever came next.

While the group finalized every preparation, a sudden uproar echoed from outside.

Passengers on the bus peered out on instinct, spotting a massive wave of villagers surging from the settlement. Numbering three or four hundred, these sturdy tribal fighters sported fresh body oils and gripped spears tightly. Bursting with energy, they rushed ahead in orderly ranks, beelining for the bus door.

"What’s happening?" a voice cried out in alarm.

"That’s three or four hundred at least. Did the whole tribe’s prime fighters turn out? Are they... coming for us?"

"Impossible! Did Bai Xiaosheng tick them off so bad they won’t let anyone go?"

"Heavens, what on earth did Mr. Bai pull off? Assassinate their chief?"

Terror gripped everyone as they buzzed with anxious whispers, hearts pounding restlessly.

Soldiers clutched their rifles, palms slick with nervous sweat.

The driver fired up the engine in haste, fingers trembling as he fought the impulse to slam the accelerator and flee.

Warriors already clustered by the bus, clueless about the chaos, assumed an assault was underway and bolted to block the front, thrusting spears skyward in a threatening stance that spiked the fear inside.

Lei Ying’s gaze turned steely as he stared out, muttering, "Thousands or tens of thousands—it doesn’t matter. I’ll bring him back!"

"I’m coming too!" Lin Weiwei declared firmly, leaving no space for debate.

No crisis could shake these two from standing by Bai Xiaosheng.

With hearts suspended in dread, a shout rang out: "Look there—what’s that?"

Another glanced out and gasped, "Oh my God... am I seeing things?"

The three to four hundred warriors reached the bus flank, lining up smartly like an honor guard in a grand parade.

A crowd then escorted a handful of figures approaching, flanked by two tribal chiefs and a sharply attired elderly black gentleman, all clustering around a youthful man amid cheerful banter.

That youth was none other than Bai Xiaosheng.

Bus occupants gaped in stunned silence, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying no less astonished with bulging eyes.

"My God! What feat did Mr. Bai achieve? Take over as chief?" a whisper escaped someone.

No guesses needed—ten minutes on, Bai Xiaosheng boarded the bus.

"Thanks for the wait! I’m back," Bai Xiaosheng grinned at the group, adding, "Issue’s sorted, and I even sealed some deals."

The final remark targeted the other four merchants aboard.

They sat there gobsmacked, exchanging baffled glances.

"Come on, let me fill you in." Bai Xiaosheng approached smiling and dove into chat with the quartet.

Hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s blueprint for their ventures here, the four reeled in utter shock.

Post-discussion, Bai Xiaosheng recalled each one’s specialty. This round, he locked in heaps of deals, extracting commitments even from a local city’s vice mayor. Unfathomable!

What staggering fortune and deal-making genius allowed such triumphs?

Earlier tales of Mr. Bai’s feats had sparked their road-trip jests about joining his alliance. Now they beheld the young man’s genuine might firsthand!

One eyed Bai Xiaosheng and blurted, "If we say no to investing here, do we not leave today?"

Sharp as merchants, they sniffed the golden chance and craved profits, yet recoiled from force.

Forced pacts breed endless headaches down the line.

Bai Xiaosheng met their worries with laughter.

"No coercion here—it’s pure negotiation. Skip the investment? Fine by me; pals can snap it all up. These tribes’ ventures may be modest, but city hall’s full backing promises huge growth." Bai Xiaosheng smiled, rising to say, "So, you’re passing?"

Watching him turn away so casually, the group hastened, "Mr. Bai, hold up—we’re not saying no!"

"Right, just checking. A prime opportunity like this? We’re in."

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled at the sight.

He merely feigned his departure, or else these folks would suspect him of harboring "ulterior motives."

After all, letting go of such a prime chance without grabbing it simply wouldn't add up.

Bai Xiaosheng turned to the group and declared, "Actually, since you wanted to team up with me earlier, treat this as a welcome gift. Negotiate your deals right here, and those companies we intended to check out on this trip—I'll handle them all."

With those words from Bai Xiaosheng, tension melted away from everyone; they grinned broadly while expressing their gratitude.

Businessmen dread free handouts more than those chasing gains.

Right then, Bai Xiaosheng's phone buzzed to life.

Director Hou was on the line.

Bai Xiaosheng picked up, and Director Hou's anxious tone burst forth: "Sheng, how are things on your end right now?"

Bai Xiaosheng figured someone from the bus had called Director Hou for aid, so he chuckled into the receiver: "Relax, everything's smooth here—better yet, we've got great news."

Stepping aside, Bai Xiaosheng quickly filled Director Hou in on events; a relieved sigh echoed back: "That eases my mind! I was sweating bullets earlier, reaching out to contacts left and right. Knowing you're safe is a huge relief."

Bai Xiaosheng updated Hou Yuncheng on the partnership details.

This unexpected boon thrilled Hou Yuncheng; he agreed eagerly, promised to inform the bosses above, tossed in a few cautions for Bai Xiaosheng, then ended the call.

Bai Xiaosheng beckoned the businessmen off the bus to join the waiting two clan leaders and Vice Mayor Samba.

Meeting Mr. Samba once more, he clutched his phone and informed Bai Xiaosheng that Huaxia had reached out to the Naliya Government about him—the inquiry landed right on his desk.

As he spoke, Mr. Samba grew even firmer in his belief of Bai Xiaosheng's lofty position within the Huaxia Business Group, showing heightened respect.

"I just got a call too, and I've cleared things up," Bai Xiaosheng grinned at Vice Mayor Samba.

Next, Bai Xiaosheng gestured toward the businessmen trailing him and beamed: "These are prominent figures from our business group, ready to step in on the deals we talked about and pour investments here. Hash out the specifics with them."

Vice Mayor Samba along with the two clan leaders warmly welcomed the Huaxia businessmen, who reciprocated with equal enthusiasm.

Glancing at the clock, Bai Xiaosheng pulled Vice Mayor Samba aside: "Truth is, Nalinta City was on our original schedule. These folks will stick around now, but I still need to head there myself."

Grasping the situation and noting the bus staying put, Vice Mayor Samba summoned his two aides to ready his official vehicle for Bai Xiaosheng's trip.

"That wouldn't be right, would it?" Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile.

Truth be told, he had hoped to borrow a ride from Mr. Samba.

"It's only proper!" Mr. Samba responded with open-hearted warmth toward Bai Xiaosheng. "Without you, we'd have no deals sealed or tribal feuds settled. Riding in my car honors me. I only wish you'd stop by as my guest next time through Dilu City."

Bai Xiaosheng, of course, traded courteous words in return.

Then, Mr. Samba fixed a grave stare on his two secretaries and commanded sharply: "Hear me well—treat this gentleman with utmost care en route. In Dilu City, he ranks as our top VIP. Any hint of displeasure from him, and don't bother coming back!"

They bobbed their heads like eager chicks, gazing at Bai Xiaosheng in reverent fear.

Bai Xiaosheng offered fresh thanks to Mr. Samba, then with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, bid farewell to the crowd before heading to the vehicles. Mr. Samba provided not one but two cars; Bai Xiaosheng rode separately from Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, each paired with a secretary, and they departed once more.

Mr. Samba, the two clan leaders, the bus passengers, and all onlookers waved off Bai Xiaosheng's group together.

Until they vanished from view.
