Chapter 1047: Chapter 1047: We Really Helped

The person sitting between Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei was a man in his forties.

Well-groomed, sporting gold-framed glasses, and dressed in a business suit, he had an air that seemed incomparable.

He resembled the young CEO type from a romantic drama.

However, his eyes were straight and bloodshot, and his face was so clouded it looked almost like it could wring out water.

He was tightly clutching a black leather briefcase, seemingly afraid someone might snatch it away.

Honestly, anyone who encountered such a travel companion would feel quite uncomfortable.

Who knew if this person’s emotional state might affect them.

However, what Bai Xiaosheng noticed was his expression.

Anxious, restless, irritable, tense...

How many emotions could manifest on one’s face at once was a question perhaps only medical or scientific professionals would consider.

Bai Xiaosheng was neither, yet he paid the same attention.

Over the past year, Bai Xiaosheng had pondered a lot.

Only through this could he advance his perceptiveness.

To hone his skills, Bai Xiaosheng also made a habit of observing passersby.

Of course, as his perceptiveness advanced, worthy subjects became increasingly rare.

This man might be one of them.

Not only were his emotions stacked on his face, but they kept changing subtly.

Spur of the moment, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

The man, clearly unsettled, was yet sharply vigilant.

Bai Xiaosheng merely looked a bit longer, and the man suddenly looked up, his gaze alert and glaring fiercely at Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng offered an apologetic smile.

It was indeed his own fault for staring a bit too long.

The man, already irate, didn’t need someone staring at him.

Scowling at him was justified.

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t think the man was in the wrong; he was just overly focused.

"Hello, would you mind switching seats with me? We’re together," Lin Weiwei asked the brooding man with a smile.

Weiwei looked sweet and amicable, and she was polite.

Normally, even if someone was annoyed, a normal person wouldn’t reject such a reasonable request from a beautiful woman.

"No!" The man almost didn’t hesitate, his refusal cold and blunt, causing Lin Weiwei’s smile to freeze.

Then he hugged his briefcase tighter and bowed his head in silence.

Lin Weiwei, fuming, looked at him but was at a loss.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Lin Weiwei and gestured for her to sit down, indicating there was no need to fuss over this.

After all, it was the man’s own seat; whether to give it up or not was his right, and no one could force him.

Reluctantly, Lin Weiwei shrugged and sat on the other side.

She understood the reason and there was nothing to fuss over.

Bai Xiaosheng sat next to the brooding man by the window and took out his phone to log into the corporate intranet to check the information he wanted to know.

Information about Chen Yucheng.

While using his phone, Bai Xiaosheng felt a bit annoyed.

Why had he gotten curious yesterday and tried out the "virtual login" feature? Although AR was visually convenient, it cost money.

That was indeed painful!

Actually, using the phone was also quite handy.

Of course, since the points were already deducted, dwelling on it was useless. Bai Xiaosheng then focused on his screen.

He hadn’t realized, but this Chen Yucheng was truly extraordinary!

Over the years, his performance had been remarkable, even nearly catching up to Lin Yu in some years.

"Elder Xia wasn’t wrong. If it weren’t for my arrival, he would definitely have been Lin Yu’s biggest competitor," Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.

But as he browsed the information, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly found something that made him frown.

Apart from the lawsuits against Chen Yucheng, there were also two Affairs Officers calling for an investigation into him, one of whom was unknown.

The other, however, made Bai Xiaosheng concentrate.

Lin Yu!

A few days ago, Lin Yu submitted a sizeable inquiry, directly targeting Chen Yucheng.

"Even he’s taking action?" Bai Xiaosheng murmured with a slight furrow in his brow.

Bai Xiaosheng was quite "trustful" of Lin Yu.

Although sometimes Lin Yu might not dig deep enough when holding people accountable,

those he targeted usually had issues!

"Chen Yucheng, have you been framed, or have you genuinely fallen?" Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but mutter, "I really do want to meet you soon!"

In a moment of unguarded emotion, the words "Chen Yucheng" came out a bit louder than the rest.

Nevertheless, it was still a whisper.

The brooding man next to Bai Xiaosheng suddenly turned to look at him, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Bai Xiaosheng noticed the man’s gaze and looked up.

The man shifted his eyes away.

A brief stare, less than a second, not even Bai Xiaosheng could clearly discern the other person’s expression in such a flash.

Bai Xiaosheng thought the other party did it unintentionally and didn’t think much of it, thus withdrawing his gaze.

After the earlier "conflict," it was better to avoid eye contact with his travel companion to prevent unnecessary friction.

The high-speed train continued on its course.

For three hours, Bai Xiaosheng’s fellow passenger neither made a sound nor moved, and showed no intention of sleeping, just sat there clutching his bag.

Wondering about what.

When Bai Xiaosheng went to the restroom, moving past the other person, he noticed his fellow traveler seemed constantly on guard.

Guarding against him!

"How interesting, could he be carrying a large sum of money in his bag? However, it looks quite flat; how much could it hold?" Bai Xiaosheng didn’t ponder further.

Out of courtesy, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t scrutinize the other person’s facial expression.

After all, the person had already made his distaste clear, and it would be tactless to keep staring.

Soon, the high-speed train entered Yandong and, half an hour later, arrived in Tianqiu City.

As the train came to a halt, Bai Xiaosheng was still seated while the gloomy man beside him suddenly sprang to his feet and rushed toward the door.

Was it really such a rush?

Or maybe he still didn’t trust him, thinking he didn’t look like a good person and was anxious to leave.

Being mistaken for a bad person by a woman might have been acceptable, but this was another man!

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but smile wryly.

He clearly looked clean and well-mannered, not at all like a bad guy!

Yet why did they make him feel like a fierce bandit?

But, since the other person had left, it wasn’t worth fussing over anymore.

However, when Lin Weiwei got up and came over, she couldn’t help but mutter, "That man must be sick! It’s good he left early to avoid causing us trouble if he got sick."

Lin Weiwei was still annoyed by that person’s attitude towards her.

Being a girl, she couldn’t bear being treated unfairly.

Bai Xiaosheng laughed cheerfully, offering consolation.

"Xiaosheng, Lei Ying is already waiting outside; let’s go," Lin Weiwei said with a sudden smile, not a person to hold grudges.

"Lei Ying is here? That’s quite a coincidence."

"What coincidence? He has been waiting outside for two hours."

Bai Xiaosheng was left speechless.

The two exited the station and met up with Lei Ying outside.

Lei Ying appeared refreshed and cheerful, clearly in good spirits after visiting his hometown.

"Alright, we are all here; let’s go." Bai Xiaosheng smiled and gestured grandly.

By the time the three of them came out, it was nearly noon.

Bai Xiaosheng thought they should first find a place to eat and chat with Lei Ying about the purpose of the trip.

While they were looking for a restaurant, they suddenly saw two people sprinting past them, one chasing the other.

The person behind was frantically shouting, "Stop!"

Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei were both stunned.

Was that not the gloomy man from the train?

Had his bag been stolen?

"It got stolen at last," Lin Weiwei murmured.

Keeping it so closely guarded was bound to attract thieves!

"What got stolen, and why say ’at last’?" Lei Ying asked, surprised.

"Chase!" Bai Xiaosheng didn’t have time to explain, and he dashed forward.

Frankly speaking, this fellow traveler wasn’t friendly and could even be annoying.

Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t someone to shout, "Stand up for justice" or intervene in every affair.

Yet witnessing this scene, he felt an inexplicable urge to help.

For no apparent reason.

As Bai Xiaosheng gave chase, Lei Ying, without a word, hurriedly followed.

Lin Weiwei, unable to stop them and unable to keep up, could only trail at a distance, hoping not to get lost.

Thus, the three of them ended up chasing into a dead-end alley.

A straight alley and they saw a figure standing there, looking lost and confused.

"Hey!" Bai Xiaosheng adjusted his breath as he shouted.

The gloomy man whirled around, eyes popping when he saw Bai Xiaosheng.

Not to mention Bai Xiaosheng; the powerfully built and naturally imposing Lei Ying following him was too fierce.

"I knew you were in on it, trying to steal my stuff. Damn it, give it back or I’m going to fight!"

The gloomy man roared in anger, picked up a brick from the road, and charged at them.

Bai Xiaosheng was stunned.

Lei Ying was stunned as well.

This was a misunderstanding!

They were genuinely just trying to help!

But how could they explain that to this frantic man? Would he believe it?
