Inheritance of Two Trillion
Chapter 1011 - 1111: How Can You Be Sure It’s Real?

Chapter 1011: Chapter 1111: How Can You Be Sure It’s Real?

Before Zheng Honghu announced the results, Lin Yu’s confidence had its reasons.

Up to that point, his performance was neck and neck with Bai Xiaosheng.

The key lay in the additional evidence gathered in the investigation of Lu Zhixin and Zhao Beiqing.

That is, from Li Qiushan and his group and the physical evidence they held!

At the moment, Bai Xiaosheng had the testimonial evidence, while he had the physical evidence.

But actually, there is a hierarchy between testimonial and physical evidence.

If the physical evidence is authentic, its evidentiary power is quite high.

Whereas testimonial evidence, strictly speaking, should be the testimony of witnesses and needs corroboration from other evidence to be accepted.

Generally, mere testimonial evidence is insufficient to ascertain its authenticity and validity!

Traditionally, where physical and testimonial evidence conflict, physical evidence takes precedence over testimonial evidence!

Moreover, Lin Yu had "documentary evidence" such as contracts and official documents!

The proof power of which was even higher than physical and testimonial evidence.

So, although outwardly both parties were equal, in truth, Lin Yu’s "evidentiary strength" overshadowed Bai Xiaosheng.

Quantified into points, it should have been a stable victory!

Yet why did Bai Xiaosheng end up winning!

Lin Yu’s complexion fluctuated between a steel blue and frost white.

He gritted his teeth, unwilling to believe.

And he would not accept it!

He had abandoned his principles of action but, in the end, it did not yield a victorious result!

Still ignorant of where he had lost!

Lin Yu could not accept it!

The crowd surrounding them was eerily silent.

Over seventy percent of them were shocked and in disbelief.

They stared at Lin Yu in surprise before their gaze shifted to Bai Xiaosheng, oscillating between the two.

Such an outcome was completely beyond their expectations!

In the crowd, Yu Ying’s eyes were wide open in shock, revealing disbelief.

It was she who had personally acquired the documentary evidence and given it to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu, to actually lose...

"Interesting, testimonial evidence actually overcame documentary evidence, or perhaps..."

Yu Ying’s gaze sharpened.

Seated in the resting area, Shen Peishen was also slightly taken aback, but it was only a fleeting reaction.

He quickly regained his usual expression.

"Truly unexpected!"

Xiahou Qi clicked his tongue in admiration, glancing at Shen Peishen.

"Yes, Affairs Officer Bai is so outstanding, it’s truly admirable," Shen Peishen smiled.

His demeanor showed no hint of anger or depression from Lin Yu’s defeat.

His emotional control had truly reached a high level.

Xiahou Qi gave a faint smile, watching Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Yu, taking in their reactions.

"Bai Xiaosheng really surprised me with his composure; calm in victory, which is excellent! Just for this composure alone, I recognize his eligibility to become a Candidate Great Affairs Officer!"

"Lin Yu... his emotional reaction is somewhat excessive. Alas, after dominating for years, to be defeated all at once, indeed a pity!"

Meanwhile, Zheng Honghu called to Bai Xiaosheng, "Officer Bai Xiaosheng, follow me!"

Then, Zheng Honghu walked towards Xiahou Qi and Shen Peishen.

Since these two were present, Zheng Honghu treated them as the "final judges" and showed them the final scores.

At the same time, he was to present the results of the inquiries regarding Lu Zhixin and Zhao Beiqing to Xiahou Qi.

Later, Lu Zhixin, Zhao Beiqing, and all the evidence would be handed over to the judiciary.

To put it bluntly, the company was only responsible for gathering evidence and conducting inquiries, not interrogations.

They managed the fine line very well, never overstepping.

Bai Xiaosheng followed Zheng Honghu all the way to Xiahou Qi and Shen Peishen.

The spectators also gathered around.

As soon as the result was announced, all eyes turned to Bai Xiaosheng.

Shock, admiration, reverence...

Their gazes followed him like spotlights, closely watching his every move.

In just over a year!

In just over a year, he had surpassed Lin Yu, who had been an Affairs Officer for several years, and triumphed over many to win the position of Candidate Great Affairs Officer!

Who else could there be!

This time, the impact Bai Xiaosheng had on everyone.

Was even stronger and more real than when he initially held the Chen Brothers accountable!

Many people’s gazes were fervent.

Bai Xiaosheng had become their new idol!

In the crowd, Lin Yu’s forehead veins were prominent, his gaze fixed, and his hands clenched into fists tightly.

From extreme confidence to defeat in one move.

From being the pride of everyone to being surrounded by sympathy and ridicule.

The contrast was so stark!

So huge it was like a mountain pressing on his heart.

It was too much for Lin Yu to bear.

Yet, he still followed them.

Zheng Honghu handed over a set of evaluation results to Xiahou Qi and Shen Peishen.

Two highly respected individuals perused the document.

Xiahou Qi was okay.

After reading it, Shen Peishen’s eyes narrowed slightly, showing some surprise.

Lin Yu had been staring at his mentor, swallowing hard, feeling guilty for not living up to his teacher’s cultivation and support.

However, when he saw Shen Peishen’s moment of surprise, his eyes suddenly widened.

He wanted to see the final scores.

This desire was incredibly strong, and seeing his teacher’s reaction made him even more anxious.

He wanted to see!

He needed to see!

"Sir Shen, may I take a look," Lin Yu asked.

His voice was a bit hoarse.

This request made everyone look at him.

Ignoring the gazes of others, Lin Yu stubbornly stared at Shen Peishen.

Shen Peishen hesitated for a moment, exchanging glances with Xiahou Qi.

Finally, he passed the score sheet to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu quickly stepped forward to receive it.

People behind Lin Yu also crowded around, sneakily peeking over.

Zheng Honghu didn’t stop them.

After all, it was going to be made public eventually.

Lin Yu looked only at his and Bai Xiaosheng’s scores.

First was the performance score, where he even slightly surpassed Bai Xiaosheng.

Then, the scores for the follow-up investigation regarding Lu Zhixin and Zhao Beiqing.

Lin Yu’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and he exclaimed, "This is impossible!"

"How could the gap be so wide, I... I’m not even close to his fractional score!"

Lin Yu’s eyes filled with blood, incredulously staring at Zheng Honghu.

Surprised, disbelieving, and even faintly angry.

Why...

Why would he, holding documentary evidence, score only a fraction of Bai Xiaosheng, who had merely testimonial evidence?

"Great Official Zheng Honghu, regarding the final results of Officer Bai Xiaosheng and Officer Lin Yu, both Mr. Xia and I trust your judgment, but what is the basis for these scores? This gap seems a bit large," Shen Peishen also said.

Losing was one thing, but losing clearly was another!

Even in death, one must understand the reason!

Lin Yu looked towards Zheng Honghu.

Zheng Honghu was calm and unruffled, telling Xiahou Qi and Shen Peishen, "About the detailed inquiry process, there are videos, and I will also provide a detailed report."

"I can only say that only thirty percent of the evidence provided by Officer Lin Yu later was true! The rest was false."

False evidence?

False evidence!

"Impossible!" Lin Yu shouted angrily, "Is it because those two people didn’t admit it, or because the testimonial witnesses brought by Bai Xiaosheng denied it, that you think my evidence is false?"

He couldn’t accept it!

"No," Zheng Honghu looked at Lin Yu calmly, not at all angered by the confrontation.

"Officer Bai Xiaosheng also provided documentary evidence, which contradicts yours and matches the testimonial evidence. Those two people admitted to those parts and denied yours."

Zheng Honghu gave Lin Yu a meaningful look, saying, "I don’t know where Officer Lin Yu obtained your evidence, are you so confident that those... are real?!"

This seemingly light question, like a bolt from the blue, struck Lin Yu dumb.

How can you prove that what you brought is real!

How could those possibly be fake!

They all came from...

Lin Yu’s mind roared, his eyes widened in shock towards Bai Xiaosheng.

Could it be that from the beginning, the evidence he had gotten was fake?

"The lost items might be mistaken, how I wish the person who took them—"

Bai Xiaosheng spoke innocently to himself, "would not use them!"
