Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2449 - 1820: Make Him Fall by Bai Xiaosheng (Part 2)

"What do you want to do?" Lin Weiwei inquired of Bai Xiaosheng, her voice laced with astonishment.

Lei Ying, equally perplexed, turned his gaze towards Bai Xiaosheng.

Neither of them had any inkling that Bai Xiaosheng possessed a secret weapon up his sleeve.

"I will arrange for someone to handle it and provide you with the outcome later," Bai Xiaosheng stated, unable to offer a detailed explanation. "Just try not to worry too much."

Upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s assurances, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying fell silent.

"For the time being, do not dwell on this matter, as I have a more significant task for you both," Bai Xiaosheng announced, activating a document on his laptop that detailed the commercial blueprint for Bichi City.

"Mr. Lu Yun and Jia Chengshan have just confirmed their willingness to invest substantially in the Bichi City commercial project. Elder Xia is overseeing the domestic arrangements, coordinating companies to participate. As for the companies under our private ownership, the two of you will be responsible for their management and deployment. I will discuss the specifics with you now..."

Bai Xiaosheng commenced the assignment of duties to Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

Both individuals immediately became engrossed, even taking out their phones to record crucial details and establish a schedule, ensuring nothing would be overlooked.

Consequently, the trio engaged in discussion for the entire afternoon.

Once all explanations were concluded, Bai Xiaosheng and the others found themselves parched from extensive conversation. They promptly prepared some tea to refresh their throats, then proceeded to engage in casual conversation on unrelated topics to clear their minds.

At that precise moment, Lin Weiwei’s phone suddenly rang. Upon retrieving it and seeing the caller ID, a smile instantly bloomed on her face.

"Who is calling that brings such joy to your expression?" Lei Ying asked from the side, his curiosity piqued.

Lin Weiwei made no effort to conceal the caller, showing the screen to Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying. "Today’s delivery..."

The name displayed on the screen was: Matilda.

"Delivery?" Lei Ying repeated, finding the term amusing.

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, adding, "It appears she wasn’t satisfied with the inability to deliver something today. Shall we hear what she has to convey now?"

Lin Weiwei nodded, made a shushing gesture, answered the call, and activated the speakerphone.

"Hello, Miss Lin?" Matilda’s voice emanated from the speaker, deliberately modulated to a low tone.

"It’s me, Matilda. What is it?" Lin Weiwei responded.

"It’s like this, Lin, I have something important to relay to you. Please ensure that no one else is privy to this conversation!"

Matilda’s voice carried a distinct note of tension.

Lin Weiwei glanced towards Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying, then leaned closer to the phone. "Go ahead, I’m in a suitable location to speak freely."

From the other end, Matilda paused for a couple of seconds, seemingly gathering a significant amount of courage before speaking again. "It’s like this: while I was accessing company files, I stumbled upon a document on the company network’s server. The initial section of this file happens to be the incomplete document you encountered at Yorko. It turns out it wasn’t the full version. I have since obtained the complete document, and I believe... you might find it valuable?"

Bai Xiaosheng and the others exchanged knowing glances.

It appeared their calculated pressure was indeed causing unrest. The opposition seemed poised to offer a significant

"I'll go pour some water," Bai Xiaosheng quickly got up to leave, seeking to avoid the brewing conflict.

"I need to use the restroom," Lei Ying flashed a quick smile at Lin Weiwei, also attempting a swift exit.

Lin Weiwei immediately pointed a finger at Lei Ying, issuing a playful threat, "I've noted every word you uttered. Moreover, your wife and I are connected on social media. I plan to relay your exact statement – 'women are all deceitful liars' – to her, word for word. Let's see how you end up kneeling on the washboard when you get home!"

Lei Ying, who had already begun his 'escape,' paused at a distance. He turned back helplessly to Lin Weiwei, protesting, "Those weren't my precise words; you're deliberately twisting things to frame me!"

Lin Weiwei simply turned her head away with a cold, dismissive snort.

Her expression clearly conveyed: Yes, I am framing you, and what about it!

...

Shortly thereafter, Matilda forwarded the file. Upon its arrival, Lin Weiwei, Bai Xiaosheng, and Lei Ying convened to examine its contents together.

The trio engaged in a lively exchange of insights.

"I had a hunch this company would be implicated; just look at this evidence!"

"In the previous quarter, these two businesses officially partnered five times, not just three. However, our findings indicate they secretly collaborated on at least two additional occasions..."

"Observe this section, and this one as well. It fails to corroborate our independent investigation. This strongly suggests the involvement of other entities. We should review news reports from that period; that's how we'll identify them."

The document Matilda supplied this time was a treasure trove of critical intelligence. Bai Xiaosheng and the others had never anticipated such vital information being concealed within.

At that precise moment, another email notification arrived from Matilda, inquiring whether the file proved beneficial to Bai Xiaosheng and his companions.

Choosing to feign ignorance.

Lin Weiwei deliberately typed a response: "It's somewhat helpful, but it doesn't feel entirely comprehensive. Perhaps you should remain vigilant; there might be additional components yet to be discovered."

This particular message caused both Fiewood and Matilda, who were intently scrutinizing their computer screens, to simultaneously knit their brows in confusion.

"I have a distinct feeling these individuals are feigning ignorance. They claim it's 'somewhat useful'? I'm practically divulging our most guarded secrets to them!" Fiewood grumbled in utter exasperation.

Matilda echoed his sentiment, muttering, "Indeed, what exactly are they attempting to achieve here?"

Fiewood was about to voice further frustrations when his phone suddenly rang. A glance at the caller ID caused him to immediately signal Matilda into silence. He answered the call, bringing the device to his ear.

"Hello?" Fiewood responded, his voice laced with deference as he lowered its pitch, "Mr. Tike!"

The call was, in fact, from Tike, the executive president of Zhenbei Group's African operations.

This individual, Tike, usually portrayed as affable and approachable – even described as 'gentle' by Cilio himself – addressed Fiewood with an unmistakable tone of command. Though his words were measured and calm, they compelled Fiewood to instinctively regulate his breathing.

"How are matters progressing, Fiewood? Is everything proceeding according to plan?" Tike inquired smoothly.

"Everything is advancing in a highly organized fashion; please be assured!" Fiewood replied, affirming his position as an absolute confidant.

"You are among the select few individuals in whom I place my trust," Tike stated. "Expedite the process. Instruct Bai Xiaosheng to reinvestigate Cilio. Opportunities to challenge someone like Cilio are exceedingly rare in this region, particularly when he hails from the headquarters... Regardless of the method, ensure that Cilio meets his downfall at the hands of this Huaxia individual!"
