Chapter 286: Chapter 252 [From Heaven to Hell]

Whoosh!

In the silent hall, the cold words spoken by Zhao Meng sounded like thunder in Bai Luo’s ears, making him pale with shock!

In front of the desk, he stood stiff as if spellbound, motionless as he stared at Zhao Meng. It felt as though he was asking: How... How did he know?

"Gulp!"

The sound of his secretary’s adam’s-apple moving was the only response Bai Luo received.

At the door, the secretary, originally on his way to make tea for Zhao Meng, froze mid-step upon hearing Zhao Meng’s words, his legs heavy as if filled with lead, unable to move even an inch, his face a picture of horror!

"Huff~"

Hearing the secretary’s gulp, Bai Luo took a deep breath, tried his hardest to regulate his emotions, and without answering Zhao Meng, sharply commanded the secretary, "Get out."

"Yes... Yes, Director."

The secretary nodded in panic and fled from the office as if escaping.

"Director Zhao, I don’t know where you heard this information, but I can tell you with certainty that it’s not true!"

It must be said that as the Young Master Bai of the Bai Family, Bai Luo’s psychological quality was still quite good. After a brief moment of panic, his expression returned to normal, and his mind also cleared up a lot.

"It seems that Director Bai thinks he has done everything without God or ghost being the wiser?" Zhao Meng sneered disdainfully.

"Director Zhao, do you think someone of my status would commit such illegal acts?"

Even though he felt extremely uneasy inside, Bai Luo tried to maintain a calm facade with the thought that he hadn’t left any trace behind, "I hope Director Zhao isn’t deceived by rumors and illusions."

Just as Bai Luo was refusing to budge, Zhao Meng was about to present the evidence when he heard hurried footsteps from outside, and the aura of a martial artist approaching rapidly.

Creak!

A few seconds later, the office door was pushed open, and Wang Zhong rushed in with a look of panic.

"Young Master Bai..."

Because Zhao Meng had concealed his presence, Wang Zhong hadn’t sensed him and thus, walked in intending to report something to Bai Luo. Upon seeing Zhao Meng, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"Uncle Zhong, is there something wrong?"

For some reason, seeing Wang Zhong burst into his office in such a hurry, Bai Luo’s repressed fear shot up straight, so much so that he didn’t go so far as to blame Wang Zhong for his rashness.

"Buzz... Buzz..."

In response to Bai Luo’s question was the sound of a phone vibrating, coming from Zhao Meng.

Zhao Meng lifted his wrist, glanced at the communicator there, and after a moment’s thought, he answered it. The report from his subordinate came through the earpiece, "Director, those three videos have been uploaded to the internet."

"I know."

At these words, Zhao Meng was at first startled, then his mind cleared, realizing this must be the handiwork of Ye Fan.

"If I’m not mistaken, you came to inform Director Bai that three videos concerning him have surfaced online, right?" After ending the call, Zhao Meng turned to Wang Zhong.

"Uh..."

Wang Zhong was at a loss for words, his complexion extremely ugly.

"What... What videos?" Bai Luo could no longer feign calm; the muscles around his eyes twitched wildly and his heart climbed to his throat.

"Your evidence." Zhao Meng said indifferently, "To put your heart at ease completely, I will give you some time to check the internet yourself."

"Huff... Huff..."

Again, hearing Zhao Meng’s words, a voice inside Bai Luo’s head was telling him, the matter of him colluding with Chen Feilian to assassinate Ye Fan had been exposed, making his breathing rapid. He sharply turned his gaze to Wang Zhong, trying to gauge from Wang Zhong’s changing expression whether what Zhao Meng said was true.

Sure enough, he saw Wang Zhong looking self-reproachful.

Clunk!

This discovery shocked Bai Luo to his core, and he comforted himself utilizing the spirit of Ah Q: Impossible! Absolutely impossible to be exposed!

"Oh, I almost forgot, the office strictly prohibits accessing the internet, so let me just give you the video instead." Seeing Bai Luo standing there frozen, unmoving, Zhao Meng thought of something and, with a smile, handed a storage device to Bai Luo.

Gulp!

Looking at the storage device handed over by Zhao Meng, Bai Luo’s throat moved noticeably, his body shivered slightly, feeling as if Zhao Meng was handing him a grenade with the pin pulled, ready to blow him to smithereens at any moment.

"If Director Bai does not wish to see it, he is free to leave?" Seeing his reaction, Zhao Meng thought it pointless to toy with Bai Luo any further and decided to take Bai Luo away.

Without answering, Bai Luo, emotionally agitated, snatched the storage device.

Later, under Zhao Meng’s scrutiny, Bai Luo, with red eyes and gasping breath, swiftly turned on the office computer and shakily inserted the storage device.

He felt like a gambler in dire straits, desperate to witness the final outcome!

Seeing the names of the video files, Bai Luo’s body trembled violently, and then he instinctively clicked on the video.

The video opened, and the computer screen displayed the scene of Bai Luo’s office. In the scene, Bai Luo held a cell phone, his expression was excited and angry as he made a call.

"Buzz~"

Seeing this scene, and remembering the impulsive call he made to Chen Feilian that day, Bai Luo’s vision darkened, and he almost fainted!

"Hello, Young Master Chen, this is Bai Luo."

"Hello, Young Master Bai, may I ask why you are calling so late?"

...

Later, before Bai Luo could recover from his shock, the conversation he had with Chen Feilian that day started playing through the speakers, clearly reaching Bai Luo’s ears.

"How... How could this happen?"

Listening to the conversation from that day, looking at himself on the screen, Bai Luo asked himself.

There was no answer.

Bai Luo was like a fool, staring blankly at the computer screen until the video ended.

"Director Bai, do you need to watch the other two videos?" Seeing this, Zhao Meng walked to the desk and asked.

"Huff... Huff..."

Bai Luo completely ignored Zhao Meng’s words, like a gambler who had lost everything and couldn’t let go, he clicked on the second video.

Just like the first video, the second still showed him talking on the phone with Chen Feilin, which happened yesterday.

Soon, the second video ended, and Bai Luo, as if possessed, clicked on the third video.

The image flashed, and Bai Luo’s eyes widened in bloodshot horror as he saw two identically looking young men dressed in black kneeling on the ground.

"Who sent you to assassinate me?"

The first voice came from the video, a voice very familiar to Bai Luo—it was Ye Fan’s.

Facing Ye Fan’s question, Shi Feng and Shi Ling in the video remained silent, their heads defiantly raised, their eyes filled with anger and disdain.

"I have videos of Young Master Bai Luo of the Bai Family and Chen Feilin of the Qinghong Gang on the phone. Whether you talk or not doesn’t really matter."

Still no answer.

"I’m sure you’ve heard of the interrogation methods of the Yanhuang Organization. They have many ways to make you talk."

Ye Fan’s voice rose again, "It’s said that the leader of the Yanhuang Organization, Yan, can search through a criminal’s memory using immortal-like methods, hmm, essentially ripping apart the criminal’s soul to find the information they want from the vast memory bank."

"I’m giving you one last chance. If you still choose silence, then I’ll hand you over to the Yanhuang Organization right now for interrogation."

"No... don’t, I’ll talk, I’ll talk." In the video, Shi Ling was frightened and ready to ’confess.’"

"Shi Ling, shut up!" Shi Feng roared, putting on a tough front.

"Brother, do you want to endure the torment of the soul?"

With a frightened face, Shi Ling said, "You’re right, it was Young Master Bai of the Bai Family who contacted Young Master Chen to send someone to kill you, then Young Master Chen sent us to infiltrate Huaxia to assassinate you..."

"Tick-tock..."

Hearing this, Bai Luo was so shocked that his body shivered, cold sweat poured from his forehead like it was free, sliding down his pale face, and dripping onto the keyboard with a clear sound.

In front of the computer, he didn’t reach out to wipe the sweat; instead, he slumped in the chair as if all his strength had been drained, motionless, his face filled with horror!

On one hand, he felt that Ye Fan’s threatening words were too mysterious; on the other hand, he had to admit that Ye Fan had gone to great lengths to ensure the ’confession’ was genuine by deliberately having Shi Feng and Shi Ling resist stubbornly.

"Director Bai, to protect your image, I suggest you get up and come with me on your own. What do you think?" After smiling, Zhao Meng unplugged the storage device and asked.

No response. Bai Luo looked as though he had lost his soul, his eyes blankly staring at the ceiling, repeating over and over, "Why did this happen? Why did this happen??"

Whoosh!

As if to answer Bai Luo, Zhao Meng didn’t hesitate any longer, grabbed Bai Luo by the neck, and lifted him up like a chicken, striding toward the door.

Seeing this, Wang Zhong instinctively wanted to stop him, but then he thought of Zhao Meng’s identity and strength and abandoned this foolish idea.

At the same time, the fatally struck Bai Luo seemed not to have recovered from the blow and didn’t resist.

Creak!

Shortly after, the office door was pulled open, and Zhao Meng walked out expressionlessly, dragging Bai Luo along.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

In the hallway, many office workers were moving around, and they turned their curious gazes toward the sound of the door to Bai Luo’s office opening.

"Whoosh—"

The next moment.

The sound of papers falling echoed.

Those office workers, as if they’d seen the most unbelievable thing in the world, stared in shock at the scene before them, their minds filled with confusion: Bai... what happened to Director Bai?

No answer.

Zhao Meng, as if carrying a dead dog, passed by them with Bai Luo in tow.

The scene freezes.

This moment.

They tried hard to reconcile the pale-faced, lifeless-eyed Bai Luo with the once proud and imperious Director Bai, Young Master Bai of the Bai Family, and the President of the Hong Ding Club.

But—

No matter how hard they tried, the two figures wouldn’t overlap.

Heaven or hell in the blink of an eye.

PS: Sorry, I’ve been anxious lately due to various matters, often suffering from insomnia and a chaotic biological clock, which has led to late updates.

You’d better read it the next morning, and I will try my best to adjust as soon as possible.
