Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2469 - 1829: Old Foxes and Young Foxes (Part 2)

As the thought reached this point, Tike vaguely caught the sound of Brown's voice, asking, "Mr. Wen Yan, I believe you've already made a decision, haven't you?"

Without delay, Wen Yan's voice, tinged with a smile, responded, "Someone, take note."

"The former Deputy Executive President of the African region, Cilio, experienced a moment of agitation and sought personal retribution. This was a purely personal act of willfulness and did not result in serious consequences. As he is currently suspended and caused no reputational damage to the group, the organization will not interfere in private matters. Consequently, no action will be taken."

It was evident that Wen Yan was absolving Cilio, a display of utter shamelessness as they clearly sided with their own!

A suffocating pressure built within Tike's chest.

"The heads of companies such as Fiewood, collectively accused of defamation, have violated ethical standards and, indeed, exhibit issues of factionalism and private interests. A comprehensive investigation will commence immediately. As for those orchestrating these events, regardless of their standing, they will not be tolerated!"

These pronouncements were unmistakably aimed at him.

Tike felt much like a beached fish, struggling even to draw a breath.

"Thank you, Mr. Wen Yan, for your judicious decision," Mr. Brown conveyed with a smile. "And my gratitude also extends to Mr. Bai Xiaosheng!"

Brown's final statement solidified Tike's suspicions.

Tike fixed his gaze upon Bai Xiaosheng, his mind a whirlwind of anger, Brown's and Wen Yan's words echoing in his ears, rendering him unable to process anything further.

"Tike, are you content with this outcome?" Brown inquired with a grin, turning his attention to Tike. "Do you have any further remarks, any alternative course of action?"

"Bai Xiaosheng!" Tike suddenly bellowed these three words, his features contorted in distress.

He then staggered and promptly collapsed.

First, his outcry disrupted the proceedings. Amidst the judge's reprimand and the murmurs of the crowd, he furiously shouted Bai Xiaosheng's name before finally falling to the ground.

Overwhelmed by rage, Tike lost consciousness.

This abrupt event triggered a minor disturbance within the assembly.

Numerous individuals called for a doctor, but this was a courtroom; no medical personnel were present. Staff members swiftly arranged for an ambulance.

The judge also hurried over, inquiring if anyone in attendance possessed medical knowledge and could administer emergency first aid to Tike.

Among those present, there were no medical experts, only officials and businesspeople accompanied by their aides; none were skilled in this area.

At this critical juncture, Bai Xiaosheng spoke up, "Allow me. I have learned first aid; permit me to examine him."

The onlookers promptly cleared a path, enabling Bai Xiaosheng to approach.

Bai Xiaosheng was genuinely prepared to assist. After all, regardless of the intensity of workplace conflicts or personal animosities, preserving a life takes precedence.

The crowd eagerly helped move Tike to a more open space.

Indeed, this Mr. Tike was quite substantial, requiring the combined effort of three strong men to lift him; those lacking sufficient strength could not manage.

Upon reaching Tike, Bai Xiaosheng conducted a remarkably professional assessment.

Although not a medical student, Bai Xiaosheng had the advantage of Red Lotus, a super artificial intelligence, at his disposal. Accessing information on first aid protocols was a simple matter.

Following his examination, Bai Xiaosheng confidently informed those nearby, "Mr. Tike possesses an obese body type and suffers from hypertension. This fainting episode was triggered by a moment of severe emotional distress. We lack antihypertensive medication and the necessary equipment to ascertain the specific condition. Therefore, we can only slightly elevate his head to address postural hypotension and turn his head to one side to prevent suffocation."

Given the limitations of the scene, this was the extent of the immediate care possible.

The judge, unable to suppress his unease, wiped the sweat from his brow, muttering, "So, being overweight and having high blood pressure is this perilous..."

This judge himself did not appear particularly slender...

It was a known fact that many foreigners had a preference for high-calorie, high-fat, and excessively sweet foods, naturally leading to a higher prevalence of obesity...

Bai Xiaosheng patiently elaborated, "Obesity and hypertension are often underestimated as mere conditions, but they are, in reality, exceedingly dangerous. If they surpass a certain threshold and are subjected to external stressors, acute symptoms can manifest. Prompt, effective medical treatment and regular exercise can be life-saving; otherwise, the consequences could indeed be fatal."

Bai Xiaosheng's explanation, delivered in his impromptu role as a medical responder, elicited frequent nods of agreement from the judge and the others. However, no one observed that Tike, after being moved, had taken a breath and begun to regain consciousness.

As a result, he dimly perceived Bai Xiaosheng looking at him and uttering something akin to "fatal." He saw the judge and Wen Yan, one shaking his head with regret, the other nodding in agreement.

A sudden jolt struck Tike's heart, an overwhelming sense of fear coursed through him, his eyes rolled back, and he once again lost consciousness.

"Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, it appears he awoke briefly only to faint again. What transpired?" someone who had witnessed the event inquired with palpable shock.

Bai Xiaosheng paused, his gaze fixed on Tike.

"Ah, this might be related to one’s state of mind. A calm mind suits a robust body, and a robust body suits a calm mind. This means everyone should always maintain a tranquil heart and act according to their true intentions. Otherwise, you see, once they are stimulated, they’re more susceptible to illness..."

Bai Xiaosheng seamlessly transitioned from the role of a temporary doctor to that of a life coach.

In an instant, all the dignitaries present seemed to have experienced a profound realization, nodding their heads frequently.

They genuinely believed his words.

Wen Yan offered a smile, remaining silent.

Brown, positioned beside Bai Xiaosheng, glanced at him and murmured, "Thank you."

Bai Xiaosheng understood the reason behind this "thank you," so he smiled back, whispering, "You’re welcome."

The trial was thus brought to a temporary halt.

Subsequently, Tike was transported to the hospital.

Wen Yan was slated to go directly from the courtroom to the airport, returning to headquarters to debrief the vice directors on the events that transpired here. Therefore, he bid farewell to Bai Xiaosheng at the courtroom entrance.

Bai Xiaosheng was preparing to return to his own residence when Brown immediately expressed his desire to escort him personally, extending an invitation for Bai Xiaosheng to join him in his car.

Bai Xiaosheng immediately turned to Hou Yuncheng to seek his input, after all, he had arrived with Hou Yuncheng’s vehicle.
