Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2880 - 2013: Delay Tactics (Part 2)
Previously on Inheritance of Two Trillion...
This Binge in the water is at least at the level of a junior athlete, not easy to deal with.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said nothing more.
At this moment, a cheer erupted, and Binge had already reached the other shore.
Across the way, Fain reached out to pull Binge up.
Tiwei’er and Kuna, the two women, approached to offer a towel.
"Amazing, Binge, even more impressive than professional level!" Tiwei’er praised.
Kuna also showed an excited expression, raising two thumbs up.
Binge had a ’modest’ smile on his face, looked back at the other side, and said, "Haven’t competed with anyone in a long time, I’m rusty, but beating them is still fairly easy..."
Before he finished speaking, a dull splash echoed.
Binge fixed his gaze, and Bai Xiaosheng remained, but the big guy beside him had disappeared.
Binge immediately looked into the water, and he was startled by what he saw.
The big guy in the water was just like a diving shark!
With the first breath, he swam several meters further than Binge; when he surfaced to breathe, his breath time was slightly longer than Binge’s, but the length he swam underwater the second time was also longer than Binge’s.
Watching the big guy was like watching him glide through the water!
The strokes were neither beautiful nor graceful, but they maximized speed!
Is this still human... Binge couldn’t help but want to quip.
"What kind of swimming stroke is that, it’s so ugly." Tiwei’er frowned, naturally not going to praise the "enemy".
Kuna also put on a dismissive stance, intentionally saying, "Maybe they’ve never learned swimming or diving, completely self-taught."
"With this, dare to challenge us face-to-face." Fain sneered too.
The surrounding spectators were all pointing and discussing.
Binge remained silent.
Because he knew, the big guy was definitely an expert!
When Lei Ying swam back, Binge’s heart skipped.
As an experienced swimmer, he could naturally calculate the opponent’s speed was faster and took less time!
When Lei Ying swam back, breaking the surface at that moment, cheers erupted around them.
Even if the swimming style wasn’t elegant, the speed was undeniable.
Simply in terms of freestyle competition, the big guy won.
"This Asian is just like a diving shark, so fast, this must be athlete-level speed!"
"Faster than the previous one by about six seconds, what does six seconds mean!"
"I know, the difference between men’s and women’s 100-meter freestyle world records is only about five to six seconds, it’s the gap between men and women!"
"Giggling, that analogy is really inappropriate..."
Since it’s a competition, everyone is more concerned about speed than style.
Clearly, in terms of speed, Lei Ying was superior.
Bai Xiaosheng helped Lei Ying up, handed over a towel, and gave a thumbs up.
Lin Weiwei smiled brightly, looking across the way, and said, "Now they’re dumbfounded, let’s show them that there’s always someone stronger, one mountain is always taller than another!"
Lei Ying only smiled and said nothing more.
"The recent competition doesn’t count!"
Suddenly, a sharp call came.
Everyone present, including Bai Xiaosheng’s group, looked over.
Only to see Fain standing out across the way, pointing at Bai Xiaosheng, exclaiming loudly, "He was the one to initiate the challenge, and our gentleman accepted, but he didn’t participate, he sent someone else instead."
"It doesn’t count!"
"That’s right, it doesn’t count!" Tiwei’er also shouted.
"This is cheating, it doesn’t count!" Kuna echoed the shout.
People by the pool exchanged looks.
Strictly speaking, it seemed to be true...
The crowd immediately turned to Bai Xiaosheng.
"Just because they say it doesn’t count, doesn’t mean it doesn’t." Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but want to counter.
Bai Xiaosheng stopped her.
"If that’s the case, I’ll just swim a lap. Winning or losing isn’t important; the key is to buy some time." Bai Xiaosheng seemed quite open-minded about it.
"Don’t push yourself too hard. If you swim a bit slower, it might actually be better for us." Lei Ying agreed.
Looking at the time now, Bai Xiaosheng has managed to buy quite a bit of time for Lai Mo and Buchi. Moreover, Bai Xiaosheng had mentioned that with his adjustments, the instrument would easily open the door. Lai Mo and Buchi, even if a bit slow, should have rummaged through the place by now.
With this in mind, whether Bai Xiaosheng wins or not doesn’t matter; swimming leisurely is actually more advantageous for them.
Lin Weiwei understood this reasoning, but she still didn’t want Bai Xiaosheng to make a fool of himself.
"Leave it to me." Bai Xiaosheng smiled at the two of them while stretching his wrists and ankles, and walked towards the pool.
The surrounding crowd, seeing Bai Xiaosheng ready to go, instantly felt a wave of anticipation.
On the other side, Binge and his group sneered disdainfully.
They didn’t believe Bai Xiaosheng could be stronger than Lei Ying.
If he were, why didn’t he step in earlier? Clearly, he showed a lack of confidence.
At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng stood by the poolside, staring at the water, while internally instructing, "Red Lotus, activate adrenaline, replicate swimming techniques..."
Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t verbalized his desire to win, but he didn’t want to lose either.
With Red Lotus’s response, Bai Xiaosheng felt a surge of excitement in his brain, a burst of explosive power ready to erupt from his muscles, and the techniques in his mind were as familiar as if he’d trained countless times.
In such a state, Bai Xiaosheng leaped into the pool.
He entered the water silently, with minimal splash.
Bai Xiaosheng’s body seemed unfazed by water resistance, and on that first breath, he surpassed Lei Ying’s distance.
Even Lei Ying, who was watching from the poolside, was stunned and couldn’t help but mutter, "This guy, turns out he’s the one hiding his abilities!"
Lin Weiwei also couldn’t help but widen her eyes, full of disbelief.
Previously, if Binge was like a fish in the water and Lei Ying like a shark, then Bai Xiaosheng was above them both, a perfect combination of speed and grace, almost like a mermaid living in the water.
After the initial surprise, everyone around couldn’t help but cheer.
Bai Xiaosheng swam through the water as if walking on land.
The composed elegance combined with speed left Binge, Fain, Tiwei’er, and Kuna across the way dumbfounded.
Even if they didn’t want to admit it, it was clear that the person in the pool was undoubtedly a high-level professional-grade athlete.
Otherwise, how could one explain the speed and professionalism!
A professional had come to beat them down; even if they wanted to deny it, so many people were watching!
Finally, Bai Xiaosheng broke the surface, climbing out of the pool amidst an overwhelming applause and cheers.
The faces of Binge and his four companions were incredibly hard to look at, yet they had to maintain their composure, reluctantly joining in with claps.
Lin Weiwei excitedly and smilingly draped a towel over Bai Xiaosheng as if putting on a victor’s mantle.
Lei Ying raised two big thumbs up.
At that moment, Bai Xiaosheng smiled, raised his arm, and signaled everyone to quiet down.
"Shh, the victor has something to say; everyone, quiet down."
"Quiet, please!"
The crowd gradually fell silent.
Once it was quieter, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and spoke aloud, "Everyone, feel free to drink up; it’s celebration time. Everything’s on their tab!"
On the other side, although Binge felt frustrated, he still forced a smile and raised his hand, "I’m buying drinks for everyone, enjoy!"
It’s often said that even if you lose, you shouldn’t lose face, and he could still handle the situation.
The surrounding crowd burst into cheers, rushing toward the bars on either side.
In the midst of the crowd, Binge and his group were tired from handling all the thank-yous and compliments, even the angriest Kuna had to strain a smile.
Seizing the opportunity, Bai Xiaosheng pulled Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying aside, whispering, "Let’s get out of here!"
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying immediately caught on and, together with Bai Xiaosheng, changed clothes and quietly slipped away.
As the three returned to the residential area, they happened to encounter Lai Mo and Buchi, disguised as repairmen, about to leave.
They were only leaving now.
Their pace was frustratingly slow; if it weren’t for Bai Xiaosheng and the others delaying things, they might have been caught red-handed.
Bai Xiaosheng and the others pulled the pair into a secluded corner without surveillance and inquired about their findings.
Lai Mo’s face was somber, "There were no documents in the luggage they carried; the documents aren’t on those four people."
Buchi also wore a face of dejection.
Bai Xiaosheng narrowed his eyes slightly, muttering to himself, "So that means, the documents are indeed with the middle-aged or elderly person!"
Though at least, there is still time before the ship docks and the journey ends!
