Bai Xiaosheng faced a tense standoff with two rival groups, but his calm demeanor and a brief distraction allowed him to wait for backup. Two helicopters carrying armed soldiers descended, forcing the attackers to surrender. The situation was quickly resolved by Lekram's security and arriving police, leaving the attackers stunned and Cilio bewildered.

The assault incident involving Bai Xiaosheng has captured the significant attention of various high-level entities. The leadership of the business group promptly initiated discussions with Lekram and disseminated an internal directive, emphasizing the importance of safety precautions. Upon receiving news of the event, Lu Yun, Jia Chengshan, Dong Tianlu, and other associates quickly reached out to Bai Xiaosheng to convey their well wishes.

Lekram has accorded paramount importance to this situation, actively collaborating with the business group and extending continuous sympathies to Bai Xiaosheng, the individual affected. They have successfully isolated all assailants and established a specialized investigative unit to address the case.

Given Lekram's intensive investigation, it is anticipated that every attacker will be scrutinized thoroughly, potentially unearthing even the most trivial details of their past deeds, such as whose lunch they might have pilfered or instances of traffic violations.

However, from an external perspective, following deliberations with the Huaxia Business Group, Lekram has opted for a discreet handling of the matter, ensuring it remains out of public media attention.

Bai Xiaosheng and his companions were immediately placed under stringent protective measures on the very day they arrived at the business group's residence. They subsequently received a considerable number of visitors who came to check on them, express sympathy, and offer solace.

While Bai Xiaosheng himself sustained no physical harm from the attackers, he found himself utterly fatigued by the continuous stream of visitors.

It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying managed to secure a private meeting with Bai Xiaosheng and the others.

"Xiaosheng, the facility where we are residing is guarded by armed personnel, and there are even soldiers patrolling," Lin Weiwei commented to Bai Xiaosheng, framing it as an amusing anecdote regarding the excessive security.

Bai Xiaosheng offered a wry smile. "You wouldn't believe it; had I not vehemently objected, there would likely have been guards stationed right outside my door."

"Seriously? That's rather extreme!" Lin Weiwei couldn't help but exchange a surprised glance with Lei Ying.

Lei Ying chuckled. "Extreme? The Huaxia Business Group has facilitated substantial commercial collaborations for Lekram within a mere matter of days. They've practically treated us as walking ATMs. If the source of such wealth were to be harmed and consequently withdraw some cooperation or depart prematurely, the financial repercussions would be considerable. Does it still seem extreme to you now?"

Lin Weiwei responded with a shrug, finding Lei Ying's logic sound.

"I'm just curious about the status of the interrogations now, and whether those individuals who attempted to assault us have started confessing..." Lin Weiwei murmured to herself.

The specific outcomes of the inquiry remain undisclosed at this juncture.

Nonetheless, it was genuinely surprising that Cilio made a personal appearance during the attack today.

Previously, Bai Xiaosheng had orchestrated visits to various establishments with the explicit intention of provoking those operating behind the scenes. By systematically targeting the problematic enterprises belonging to Tike and Cilio, they unexpectedly triggered an assault that even drew out a significant figure like Cilio.

Despite this, another question occupied Lin Weiwei's thoughts: while one faction undoubtedly belonged to Cilio's group, who were the others involved?

The meticulously planned nature of the attack, from the sheer number of participants to the chosen location, suggested it was far from a spontaneous act.

Was a mere provocation sufficient to prompt such a risky and comprehensively orchestrated response?

This was the aspect that perplexed Lin Weiwei the most.

It appeared as though these individuals were already poised to intercept them, perhaps even anticipating such a scenario...

While deeply engrossed in these thoughts, Bai Xiaosheng calmly interjected, "You're interested in the interrogation progress? I'm aware."

"Hmm." Lin Weiwei, taken aback by the sudden statement, nodded rapidly before looking at Bai Xiaosheng with astonishment. "What... you know?"

Lei Ying also directed a surprised gaze towards Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng retrieved his tablet, navigated to a specific folder, and presented it to them. He explained, "As a direct victim, I am entitled to this information. Furthermore, my status as a member of the Huaxia Business Group confers a certain degree of privilege. The individual overseeing the investigation at Lekram departed my premises merely half an hour ago, promising to furnish me with immediate updates on the investigation's progress and findings. This contains the data provided by their personnel, and subsequent updates will be delivered here. It includes interrogation videos and transcribed images from this afternoon through the evening. Naturally, do not anticipate access to any classified information; such details are not shared with us."

Lin Weiwei, with burgeoning curiosity, took the tablet to examine its contents, while Lei Ying leaned in to observe.

"Wow, this Mr. Cilio is quite candid, revealing everything he knows?" Lin Weiwei murmured as she reviewed the video footage and transcript photographs. "He claims to suspect that you, Xiaosheng, are intentionally targeting him and his father in the business world, submitting detrimental information to the group headquarters for their downfall? He recently received an email indicating that your second-stage investigation report has been submitted to the headquarters?!"

At this juncture, Lin Weiwei couldn't help but look at Bai Xiaosheng with wide-eyed astonishment. "What he's stating – could it be related to the report we compiled not long ago?"

Lei Ying also turned his attention to Bai Xiaosheng, seeking clarification.

Bai Xiaosheng granted an affirmative nod, confirming its accuracy.

"Wasn't it forwarded directly to the main office? How did it fall into another's possession? Even if it reached a non-affiliated individual, wouldn't it have gone to Brown first? How did Cilio acquire it!" Lin Weiwei voiced her astonishment, "Who handed it over to him?! Was it Brown?!"

"A father understands his son implicitly. Brown is fully aware of Cilio's disposition; if he genuinely acquired our report from an external source, he would hesitate to confront his son. Furthermore, his son is already under suspension; presenting such information now would serve no purpose other than to incite him further," Lei Ying commented quietly.

Bai Xiaosheng offered a dismissive shrug, making a face.

Continuing her perusal, Lin Weiwei read aloud, "Cilio confessed that Xiaosheng's conduct here, along with the damages inflicted upon himself and his father, had left him exceedingly discontent, leading him to assault you... as an outlet for his rage? And he desired to ascertain if the supposed proof we submitted to the organization was fraudulent?"
