Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2392 - 1795: My Troubles Are Gone
Previously on Inheritance of Two Trillion...
Bai Xiaosheng initially suggested a detour to the "Green Sky" company, suspecting some underlying problems. His confirmed suspicions during this visit proved to be a significant discovery.
Moreover, Bai Xiaosheng alluded to another "big fish" surfacing, a revelation that caught both Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying by surprise.
"What other 'big fish' appeared?" Lin Weiwei turned to Lei Ying, her eyes questioning, and inquired.
Without hesitation, Bai Xiaosheng leaned in and confided in the two, "Doesn't Miss Jenny strike you as a bit... peculiar?"
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged a bewildered look.
While she certainly exuded an aura of a vengeful and ruthless temptress, the notion that there were further complications hinted at something deeper.
This perspective implicitly linked her to them and Green Sky.
"Is it because she's also affiliated with the group?" Lin Weiwei recalled Jenny's subtle intimidation of Mr. Samba's secretary in the lobby earlier, a memory that sparked a sudden understanding.
"Her affiliation with the group isn't the issue; the crucial point is, who dispatched her!" Lei Ying realized, voicing his thoughts more directly.
Bai Xiaosheng let out a soft chuckle. "Don't you think her English has a slight... Ganande regional inflection?"
His simple observation was sufficient without needing further elaboration.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were taken aback by his remark.
The Ganande English dialect is remarkably close to standard English, not deviating significantly enough to be considered a separate dialect. Even adept English speakers might miss the subtle nuances.
In any case, neither of them had noticed it.
However, upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng's assertion, they placed immediate trust in his judgment, given his exceptional command of numerous languages.
"A Ganande accent, doesn't that imply she's..." Lin Weiwei gasped.
She is, in fact, a direct envoy from North American region chief Caroline, who has harbored animosity towards them for quite some time!
After all, Ganande falls under Caroline's jurisdiction, and all individuals within her sphere of command are subject to her authority.
"Could this simply be a customary inter-company visit, and perhaps not as grave as we perceive?" Lin Weiwei mused.
Before Bai Xiaosheng could respond, Lei Ying shook his head. "Observe Jenny's inherent arrogance; is it typical of ordinary individuals? Even top executives don't often display such bearing. Remember Ye Liena and Melanie? Their past conduct bore similarities. Without Caroline's direct mandate, someone of her stature wouldn't arrive covertly and be received so discreetly by old Mr. John. It speaks volumes."
Lin Weiwei couldn't help but nod in agreement.
The critical question remained: what was Caroline's objective in sending Jenny?
It seemed highly improbable that it was merely for a straightforward visit!
Considering Caroline's prominent position, shouldn't she be engaging with the highest echelons of the African region's leadership, rather than dispatching an operative to interact with lower-level departments within Africa?
Was the business president of the African region aware of this?
Or had some prior understanding been reached between them!
Bai Xiaosheng had just confirmed the issues plaguing "Green Sky" company. Coupled with these two separate matters, the overall situation was likely quite complex and intriguing!
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying immediately focused, their brows knitted in concentration.
"I never expected we'd stumble upon such a significant figure this time," Lei Ying murmured.
"We must take definitive action. With the 'Green Sky' situation alone, Bai Xiaosheng, in his current capacity, couldn't afford to stand idly by," Lin Weiwei stated, glancing between them. "However, we are currently engaged in diplomatic discussions with Huaxia and are soon to depart for our next destination. What course of action should we take regarding this matter?"
Bai Xiaosheng couldn't possibly explain to Hou Yuncheng that an internal group matter required his absence for ten days to half a month; it wouldn't be a logical excuse.
If they were to follow the delegation first, who knew how long it would take before they could return? Furthermore, their presence here couldn't remain concealed indefinitely. If the opposing party detected even the slightest suspicion, all their efforts might dissolve into nothingness.
"Perhaps the two of us could remain to conduct the investigation while you, Xiaosheng, continue with the commercial delegation as planned?" Lin Weiwei proposed tentatively.
Was this, perhaps, the most viable solution?
Lei Ying concurred, adding, "It so happens that we have investments in Dilu City, so having someone remain to oversee affairs would be considered normal. Moreover, Mr. Samba has treated us with utmost hospitality as honored guests. His involvement could provide substantial support. Even if General Manager John doesn't give us his full attention, he would still defer to Vice Mayor Samba. Continuing the investigation shouldn't prove overly difficult. The primary challenge lies in ensuring thoroughness and maintaining confidentiality, which might naturally pace the investigation, allowing you ample time to conclude your own obligations."
Hearing Lei Ying's reasoned explanation, Lin Weiwei nodded in agreement, though a sense of unease lingered at the thought of not being by Bai Xiaosheng's side to ensure his well-being.
Bai Xiaosheng found the suggestion quite appealing, yet he couldn't help but shake his head. He murmured, "It's not that I doubt your capabilities. The issue is that if too many matters require your direct involvement, you risk exposure. Whether it's Jenny, old John, Caroline pulling strings from the shadows, or others, each one presents a unique challenge. I am concerned you might find yourselves cornered and unable to manage, ultimately falling prey to a scheme."
He knew Caroline's cunning all too well; her deviousness was on a different level. A moment's envy could lead her to make sudden moves, leaving Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying stranded, which filled him with unease.
"What should we do then?" Lin Weiwei inquired, unable to suppress her question. "Should we simply turn a blind eye and let these issues fester?"
As she voiced this, Lin Weiwei felt a pang of reluctance.
Lei Ying also knitted his brows, clearly unwilling to accept this.
Bai Xiaosheng considered for a moment before stating, "Let's return for now; we still have some time. I will attempt to discuss with Director Hou about extending my stay here for a few more days, at the very least to ensure your arrangements are firmly in place."
