Milo and his father, Anlos, meet with Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Feiqiu on a yacht. Anlos reveals he knew they would be there and implies he has insider information about an agreement between the Hogson Family and Oshan. Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Feiqiu are surprised by Anlos's intelligence and knowledge, leading to a private discussion.

Bai Xiaosheng gazed at Anlos, thinking that since he dared to speak so openly, he clearly wasn’t afraid to explain how he’d gotten the information.

"Speaking of which, this information actually came from someone close to Mr. Awak Wak Lakla. I’m guessing Brady also received the same intel." Anlos smiled at Bai Xiaosheng and said, "Speaking of Brady, ah, he’s in the same conglomerate as you, but he reports directly to your Chairman, doesn’t he?"

Before Bai Xiaosheng could speak, Chen Feiqiu sneered, "Mr. Anlos, are you implying that Bai Xiaosheng leaked the information?"

Framing him, setting him up?

At those words, Anlos immediately shook his head. "No, no, don’t get the wrong idea. I never said that, and I have no intention of sowing discord. The person who passed us the information was someone else."

That made Bai Xiaosheng’s heart stir, and he recalled what Anlos had just said.

The one who leaked the information was someone close to Chen Feiqiu...

Chen Feiqiu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Anlos and said, "That kind of high-level private arrangement ends up becoming common knowledge! Mr. Anlos, stop circling around. Who exactly gave you the information?!"

Anlos didn’t rush to answer. Instead, he smiled and looked at Bai Xiaosheng, as if waiting for his reaction.

"It was the Supreme Chieftain or Lady Daliya who sent someone to pass along the information, wasn’t it?"

Bai Xiaosheng said slowly.

At those words, Chen Feiqiu froze, staring at Bai Xiaosheng in astonishment.

His parents were the ones who gave the information to Anlos and Brady?

Anlos immediately laughed. "Mr. Bai Xiaosheng really dares to think, and he’s sharp!"

Those words were, without a doubt, an admission!

Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

For him, this hadn’t been hard to guess.

Chen Feiqiu, stunned for a moment beside him, suddenly worked out the "logic" in it all.

The three giants whose commercial pressure on Oshan his parents needed to resolve—once one side was breached, getting the news to the other two as quickly as possible would bring huge benefits.

It would prevent the one who had agreed from going back on their word and would keep the other two from wavering!

The Oshan business pie was only so big; once the Hogson Family had cut off a slice, how could the remaining two, upon learning of it, not feel anxious?

It would push the situation forward and toward resolution!

Anlos coming to see them in person this time was proof of that!

"So in a little while, that Mr. Brady will show up too, won’t he?" Chen Feiqiu couldn’t help muttering.

"He probably won’t. He’s in East Africa right now; the earliest he could fly back is tomorrow, whereas I just happened to be nearby." Anlos said with a smile.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng looking at him, Anlos added a few more lines, "In fact, Hogson had previously put out word that he wanted to ’make amends’ for his son’s mistakes, so I knew his intentions weren’t pure. I originally planned to get ahead of him and pay a visit to the Supreme Chieftain first, but I was still a step late. To be honest, I really didn’t expect you to conclude talks so quickly! It seems the Supreme Chieftain places a lot of trust in Mr. Bai Xiaosheng."

"You overpraise me."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

Only then did Chen Feiqiu fully understand the ins and outs.

Then he suddenly thought that his parents being so "proactive" in spreading the information might also carry a bit of an intention to "urge" Bai Xiaosheng and him to pick up the pace.

Could it be they also wanted to create some difficulties for Bai Xiaosheng, to test him a bit, to see just how capable he was, how he would handle the situation under such circumstances, so they could decide to what extent Oshan should cooperate with him...

It couldn’t be said that such a possibility didn’t exist!

Chen Feiqiu secretly swallowed, feeling a surge of emotion.

No wonder he had to start from scratch, learning economics and politics; so this was how deep the water ran...

"Besides, I’ve received another piece of information. Of course, it has nothing to do with Oshan; it’s something I obtained entirely through my personal channels, but it does have a bit to do with Mr. Bai Xiaosheng." Anlos smiled. "I heard that after going back, Hogson stripped his son Alger of all positions, sent him back to their hometown under house arrest, and is making him start over from scratch in his academic career. To be frank, based on what I know of Hogson, he will definitely use the harshest, most demanding methods to remold his son. I fear that poor Alger would rather go sit in prison for a few years instead."

Bai Xiaosheng had thought it might be some major news; instead, it turned out to be Alger’s misfortune.

He simply listened and felt nothing.

Anlos noticed this and couldn’t help but chuckle. "I heard that Alger was one of the people who went after Mr. Bai Xiaosheng back then, and yet he alone managed to stay untouched. Now that you’ve heard he’s in trouble, Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, aren’t you pleased?"

"Is that how Mr. Anlos sees me?" Bai Xiaosheng said with a wry smile. "Something this minor isn’t worth my attention."

At that, Anlos smiled approvingly and nodded. "You really are someone meant for bigger things. I wonder if that little bastard Milo can manage to learn a bit more from you."

"Ah, yes, and that woman named Lisa." Anlos continued, "The Hogson Family has secretly put out a bounty on her. I’d guess she’s now fleeing in panic and doesn’t dare linger on this continent any longer."

That was another piece of information.

Anlos had only mentioned it casually, not expecting it to provoke much reaction from Bai Xiaosheng, but he didn’t know that Bai Xiaosheng’s heart actually gave a slight jolt when he heard it.

He recalled that Lisa’s backer was Caroline.

That woman was tireless in plotting revenge. Bai Xiaosheng silently resolved that once he found an opportunity, he would make sure Caroline was completely eliminated from the board and would no longer be entangled with him.

Their chat with Anlos had reached this point, and they still hadn’t gotten to the main topic.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Anlos and said bluntly, "Mr. Anlos, I don’t believe you came empty-handed. Why don’t you put your business plan on the table, and the three of us can discuss it. Since the Hogson Family has already made their move, I’m sure you don’t want to fall behind Brady. On this matter, rest assured: although Brady and I are in the same conglomerate, public is public and private is private. Right now I represent Oshan’s interests! I won’t let you get the short end of the stick!"
