Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2381 - 1790: Why Am I Always the Unlucky One? (2)

The vehicle is owned by Tori, the deputy mayor from the adjacent city. Mr. Tori's chauffeur probably won't drop this issue so easily.

Peering through the window, Bai Xiaosheng watched their driver pull the incident-handling official aside. The chauffeur was clearly revealing the car's prestigious owner, transforming the official's harsh expression into sheer astonishment.

Bai Xiaosheng paid no mind to their conversation or the resolution unfolding there.

He simply grinned at Lin Weiwei and remarked, "We ought to head out shortly."

True to Bai Xiaosheng's prediction, their driver soon approached, tapped on Lin Weiwei's window, and cheerfully informed Bai Xiaosheng and the rest, "Honored guests, kindly move to the leading vehicle. My coworker will escort you to your destination. I deeply regret the holdup in your travels!"

"Thanks for your hard work!" Bai Xiaosheng replied with a faint smile.

"Just doing my job! Just doing my job! Sorry for making you wait here so long. Please pardon us." The driver answered deferentially.

Soon after, Bai Xiaosheng and his group exited the car and proceeded to the one ahead.

Meanwhile, Jenny glared furiously at Bai Xiaosheng's party, jabbing her finger their way as she quarreled with the official. Her words drifted over faintly: "Why do they get to go? They're part of this too."

The official shot back icily, "Apologies, madam, but lodge any grievances with me. I'm calling the shots here! With your behavior, I'm charging you with obstructing the probe and defying authority. Come along for questioning."

Jenny's outburst only dug her deeper into hot water.

This outcome was rather lenient; back in America, the repercussions would've been much harsher.

Bai Xiaosheng and companions brushed off the drama behind them and boarded the new car.

The engine roared to life, and they sped off.

Glancing back via the rearview mirror, Lin Weiwei noted with glee, "She won't be going anywhere for a while!"

...

En route, Bai Xiaosheng directed the driver to drop them at an East District hotel for the night.

Daylight was fading fast, and the earlier crash had eaten up their schedule, leaving no chance to inspect Zhenbei Group’s African branch.

Luckily, tomorrow morning's half-day would suffice for the tour.

Bai Xiaosheng planned to approach as reps from the Huaxia Business Group, not flaunting his own role, to lower defenses and draw out honest insights.

Naturally, they'd hash out the details once settled in the hotel.

The driver readily agreed to Bai Xiaosheng's wishes. Well-versed in Dilu City, he whisked them straight to the grandest five-star hotel around...

At the hotel entrance, the driver said goodbye, and Bai Xiaosheng thanked Mr. Tori profusely.

After registering, Bai Xiaosheng and the others headed to their suites.

Heading upstairs, Bai Xiaosheng told Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to unpack quickly and join him, prepping for the dawn visit to Zhenbei Group’s "Green Sky" branch.

As Bai Xiaosheng's team retired to their rooms, Jenny and her crew faced grilling at the station.

She wisely switched to a meek stance, owning all fines and payouts.

Pleased with Jenny's cooperation, the lead officer watched her complete the paperwork before asking, "Miss Jenny, got a guarantor locally? If they post bail, you're free to go."

To the question, Jenny mustered a grin and replied, "I've contacted my contacts. They'll be here any minute."

Even as she spoke, Jenny inwardly bristled.

Were it not for dodging a night in a grim "cell," she'd never drag locals into this. Flying from America for deals, not jailbreaks—it humiliated her and shamed her U.S. superior.

Right then, a soft rap sounded at the office door.

A cop leaned in and told the officer across from Jenny, "Chief, a lawyer's here for you. Claims he's Miss Jenny's bail bondsman."

The officer eyed Jenny, nodded, and instructed, "Bring him in."

The door swung wide, admitting a suited man with gold-framed specs and a leather case. He beamed at the chief first, then nodded warmly at Jenny.

"Hello, Chief. I’ve come to settle the fine and complete the paperwork for Miss Jenny. I represent the legal team at Green Sky Company."

Hearing this, the chief looked at the newcomer in surprise, "Green Sky, part of Zhenbei Group? Never thought Miss Jenny had such connections."

...

Jenny and her companions departed the police station alongside the lawyer, yet she frowned while casting a glance backward.

Her trip this time had definitely caused a huge stir, needing someone to bail her out from this place...

She had lost all face!

Smiling at Jenny, the lawyer remarked, "We prepared a suite at the top hotel since we knew you were arriving. Let me escort you there right now. Enjoy a relaxing bath and a solid night’s rest, and today’s frustrations will fade away quickly. You’ll feel great heading to the company tomorrow."

Jenny turned to him, flashed a smile, and gave a nod.

Next, they climbed into two vehicles waiting curbside.

The vehicles raced off toward the hotel.

As night fell, East District in Dilu City buzzed with activity. Still, to Jenny from a major American metropolis, it felt rather chilly and empty.

Right then, Jenny yearned only to reach the hotel, soak in a warm bath, savor a lavish meal, and crash into deep sleep, erasing the day’s fiasco and those infuriating Huaxia folks entirely.

Sixty minutes later, they pulled up at the hotel.

After assisting with check-in, the lawyer departed.

Back in her room, Jenny planned to have dinner delivered, skipping any trip downstairs.

Entering the room, Jenny discovered the hotel’s setup quite cozy. High-quality audio gear even sat there, lifting her spirits a bit.

She slipped off her high heels and headed to the minibar, pouring a glass of red wine and sipping it down, then another.

Jenny then strolled to the stereo and selected some calming symphonic tunes.

Wine paired with music created a truly delightful vibe.

Once the symphony ended, feeling inspired, Jenny set aside her glass and grabbed hard-soled shoes from her bag. Switching to upbeat dance tracks, she launched into her original workout routine blending tap, rumba, and cha-cha steps.

With the energizing beats, she shed her polite mask, unleashing her untamed side. Bursting with vigor, Jenny danced with full enthusiasm.

Hard shoe soles striking the room floor echoed sharply, filling her with thrill.

In her mind, that cursed Huaxia guy lay like the floor under her feet, getting stomped. Satisfaction surged through Jenny, prompting her to declare, "Don’t let me run into you again! Or you’ll regret it big time!"

Meanwhile, downstairs, Bai Xiaosheng and his group got interrupted by the racket overhead, pausing their talk to stare at the ceiling.

"What’s that noise from above?" Bai Xiaosheng wondered aloud.

Lin Weiwei scowled, "Sounds like dancing up there. What a nuisance so late!"

"Should I check it out?" Lei Ying offered.

Bai Xiaosheng dismissed it with a wave, "Nah, just phone the front desk to deal with it. That racket suggests whoever’s up there won’t keep it up long."

As if proving Bai Xiaosheng right, soon after Lin Weiwei contacted reception, the sounds from above stopped.

Lin Weiwei grumbled, "Gotta be some rude, overweight foreign woman upstairs, pushing at least two hundred pounds!"
