Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2398 - 1797: Only Speed Is Unbreakable_2

Authorization obtained, personnel requested, and the leader must bear the pressure.

In Bai Xiaosheng's estimation, this should be sufficient.

"Pressure? I'm accustomed to it. I'll arrange personnel immediately!" Wen Yan replied crisply. "I'll call you back within thirty minutes."

After concluding his conversation with Wen Yan and ending the call, Bai Xiaosheng couldn't help but inhale deeply, his gaze drifting into the distance.

At this very moment.

Across the ocean in America, in Ganande, within Wen Yan's office. Wen Yan also set down his phone, lingering in a moment of quiet thought.

Standing beside Wen Yan were Ruan Yu and the white-haired elder, Huang.

They had both overheard the exchange between the two men.

Ruan Yu couldn't help but voice his concerns to Wen Yan regarding the matter. "Regarding the situation Bai Xiaosheng mentioned, our people had already uncovered some initial leads. However, due to its sensitive nature and the lack of definitive proof, as per your directives, we've kept it under wraps and are conducting a discreet investigation. This time, the company known as 'Green Sky' has been on the move, and it appears they've sensed our surveillance, leading to substantial shifts in their personnel. From Bai Xiaosheng's words, it seems they've managed to acquire some critical evidence. But them just arriving in Africa... it's quite something..."

Ruan Yu felt as though Bai Xiaosheng and his team had stumbled upon an unexpected bonanza.

Huang chimed in with a reminder, "Young Master, this isn't merely a matter involving a few corporations. It implicates two colossal figures; Caroline alone is a formidable entity to contend with. They might retaliate fiercely in certain sectors or even forge an alliance. This presents a significant complication! Furthermore, it seems Mr. Bai Xiaosheng is unaware of the notoriously volatile temperament of the President of the Africa division. With his retirement looming, if a scandal were to erupt on his watch, who knows what repercussions might follow..."

"Perhaps we should inform Bai Xiaosheng of the full scope of the situation and advise them to suspend their current actions so we can deliberate thoroughly first?" Ruan Yu proposed.

"At the very least, we cannot allow Bai Xiaosheng's potentially rash actions to create further difficulties for us," Huang added.

Wen Yan listened without interruption as the two spoke, his gaze fixed on the horizon.

Ruan Yu and Huang found themselves at a loss for words.

"'That person' has still not met with Bai Xiaosheng," Wen Yan mused aloud. "Compared to my proactive engagement with Bai Xiaosheng, he appears hesitant to initiate contact."

The mention of 'that person' by Wen Yan instantly instilled a sense of gravity in Ruan Yu and Huang.

Wen Yan let out a sigh, his philosophical musing momentarily diverting from the immediate issue. He then refocused, stating calmly, "My active pursuit of Bai Xiaosheng's acquaintance and my selfless assistance are not aimed at acting as a guardian, micromanaging his every move. Flowers nurtured solely within a greenhouse will never truly mature."

"What I require is a partner who is bold and perceptive. Bai Xiaosheng has already demonstrated promising qualities in this regard."

"Entrust this entire endeavor to Bai Xiaosheng; let him claim both the accolades and bear the burdens! I shall grant him the necessary authority and unwavering support for all his needs!"

"However, I will deliberately withhold guidance on the truly perilous aspects, even if they are readily apparent to me and obscure to him. When undertaking any action, one must possess the fundamental discernment to ascertain whether they are treading upon a vortex or sinking into quicksand with each step. This is the most basic prerequisite for becoming my associate!"

Wen Yan declared in a low, resolute tone. "My hope is that he can successfully navigate the present challenge and overcome the ensuing complications!"

Ruan Yu and Huang exchanged a knowing glance, both nodding subtly in agreement.

They had consistently aligned themselves with Wen Yan's strategic decisions.

"Now, proceed with arranging the deployment of personnel to offer comprehensive cooperation to Bai Xiaosheng's team," Wen Yan instructed with decisive finality. "I expect this to be completed within twenty minutes!"

"Yes!" Ruan Yu and Huang responded in unison.

Approximately thirty minutes later, Bai Xiaosheng received Wen Yan's affirmative response. The personnel had been finalized and were ready for dispatch. Bai Xiaosheng need not concern himself with the approval from the higher echelons; as the head of the group's internal affairs department, not even the deputy chairman could sway Wen Yan.

Bai Xiaosheng felt immensely grateful for Wen Yan's steadfast support and, after ending the call, promptly reinitiated contact with Lei Ying.

In the realm of martial arts, speed is the ultimate advantage.

Currently, they were engaged in a similar high-stakes game of 'speed'. Regardless of the opponent's identity or their cunning schemes, if a timely reaction was not achieved, their probability of success would dramatically increase.

Should this matter be postponed even by a single night, unforeseen developments could arise, making immediate action the most prudent course.

Lei Ying had been anticipating Bai Xiaosheng's call.

He had already secured the evidence, though he had subtly altered certain aspects. If that woman, Jenny, detected any irregularities, she might report it, consequently shifting the dynamics of the situation.

Lei Ying also concurred that swift action was imperative; once a decision was made, they had to proceed, even if it meant acting with haste.

Upon receiving Bai Xiaosheng's call, Lei Ying was instantly invigorated. The news that additional personnel had been allocated further bolstered his readiness to act.

While Bai Xiaosheng, Wen Yan, and Lei Ying were all engaged in their respective preparations, the other party had just concluded a delightful meal.

Jenny and old John were still lingering over their dessert, their conversation flowing easily with laughter.

The meal itself had spanned two to three hours, which, for a leisurely French dining experience, was hardly an extravagant duration.

"Miss Jenny, please forgive my presumption, but I would still appreciate the opportunity to review the contract between us, just to get a feel for it. Naturally, I will also present the contract we have prepared. In fact, I have it with me right now," Mr. John said, tapping his bag with a smile directed at Jenny.

Some matters are best addressed with expediency; the sooner, the better, for the sake of peace of mind.

For reasons he couldn't quite articulate, Mr. John felt a faint sense of unease today, a nagging feeling he couldn't quite place.

Jenny glanced from Mr. John to his briefcase, a smile gracing her lips. "It appears, Mr. John, that your decisive nature is something you simply cannot shed."

"Very well, then. Agreed," Jenny conceded.

Mr. John's face lit up with immediate satisfaction.

Both of them bypassed their dessert, rising promptly to depart.

The attendants stationed outside promptly surrounded them as they emerged, guiding them away from the restaurant.

Once inside the car, they proceeded directly to Jenny’s current accommodation, which had been arranged by Mr. John. Feeling secure and reassured about the safety, Jenny felt at ease.

Upon reaching the hotel, the pair, accompanied by a few individuals, made their way to the suite.

Just outside Jenny’s residence, they instructed their attendants to remain outside while they ventured into the inner quarters alone.

Within the luxury suite of such a high-class hotel was a safe equipped with a robust security system. Jenny opened the room's safe to retrieve her box.

It was a dark-colored container with a matte finish, yet it exuded an impression of formidable strength.

During their lunch, Mr. John had heard Jenny repeatedly emphasize the box's attributes: its waterproof and fireproof capabilities, its resistance to theft, its construction from a high-strength titanium alloy, and its intricate locking mechanism featuring three distinct sets of bright and dark locks, where an incorrect entry would trigger a lockdown requiring a separate code sequence.

As Jenny produced the box and noticed Mr. John's gaze fixed upon it, she gently caressed its surface with her smooth, elegant hand, chuckling. "What do you think? With the documents secured inside, they are absolutely safe!"

Mr. John also chuckled and, exhibiting a touch of impatience, inquired, "Then, Miss Jenny, might you open it so I can examine the contract?"

In response, Jenny let out a laugh, leaned down to partially obscure the box, and began manipulating the locks.

At the final stage, the lock emitted a faint, distinct "click."

It... had locked!

Jenny stood there, dumbfounded.

Mr. John looked even more astonished.

"Did you perhaps enter the code incorrectly?" Mr. John couldn't help but ask.

Jenny furrowed her brow. "How could that be? I know this code by heart, as surely as I know my own birthday."

"So, what do we do now?" Mr. John was unconcerned with the precision of Jenny's memory.

Regardless, the box was now securely locked.

"No need to worry, there’s a backup unlocking procedure, though it is a bit intricate to operate," Jenny explained.

Mr. John nodded, observing as Jenny manipulated a small device on the corner of the box, initiating the backup code sequence.

This process consumed a considerable half-hour, during which small beads of perspiration formed on Jenny’s forehead.

Finally, with a soft "click," Jenny's face broke into a relieved smile, and she exhaled a long, deep sigh.

"Mr. John, please take a look!" Jenny beamed at Mr. John before opening the box.

Mr. John stared, mesmerized, murmuring, "Miss Jenny, your box possesses such a multitude of mechanisms; where exactly are the documents?"

"Aren't they right i..." Jenny began, looking over in confusion before abruptly freezing, her eyes widening in shock.

Then, a piercing shriek escaped Jenny's lips, "Where are my things!"

The documents, which had been secured within the double safety of the box, had inexplicably vanished.

Mr. John, witnessing this sudden turn of events, appeared even more bewildered.

At that precise moment, a disturbance reached their ears from outside.

A voice was heard exclaiming, "Who do you think you are? You cannot enter here!"

Following swiftly was a voice, somewhat familiar, "Refusing to enter? Very well, then kindly ask your Mr. John and that Miss Jenny to present themselves. We need to conduct an investigation!"
