Inheritance of Two Trillion
Chapter 1048: Ignorant of Favors

Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Ignorant of Favors

The man who originally had a gloomy expression now had bloodshot eyes and a murderous aura that reached several meters away.

He was holding half a brick in one hand and pointing at Bai Xiaosheng with the other.

"Give it back to me!" he shouted.

Bai Xiaosheng gave a bitter smile.

The item wasn’t taken by him, so what could he return?

"Your item is missing, but it truly has nothing to do with me. We came over to see if you needed help," Bai Xiaosheng tried to explain.

"You’re lying to me!" the man bellowed.

Bai Xiaosheng’s eye twitched.

What’s with this pitiful shriek?

He wouldn’t say "I’m not listening, I’m not listening" next, would he?

Two grown men, should they really be having this kind of conversation?

"Calm down for a moment and think about it. If we had stolen your item, wouldn’t we have just left instead of coming to find you!" Lei Ying reminded.

The man with the bloodshot eyes paused for a second, seeming to consider it.

Bai Xiaosheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"I’m not listening, I’m not listening!" Like a brick, the man charged over fiercely.

Bai Xiaosheng, "..."

"I knew you were no good when we were in the car, you, you’re in cahoots with them!"

Amidst a roar of anger, the man swung the half brick directly towards Bai Xiaosheng.

Lei Ying’s face darkened.

There used to be a time when he, with his quick temper, would have floored someone first and asked questions later.

With a look of helplessness, Bai Xiaosheng saw Lei Ying step forward and urgently advised, "Don’t hit him too hard, this guy can’t take it!"

"Don’t worry—"

As he spoke, Lei Ying slapped the man’s wrist with a palm, sending the brick flying, and his other hand aimed for the man’s face.

"—I’m just trying to help him come to his senses!"

Lei Ying initially meant to push his palm towards the man’s forehead but, on a whim, curled his middle finger and lightly tapped it with his thumb before flicking it out.

The classic orchid finger flick to the forehead.

Who was Lei Ying? His palm was as broad as a fan, and his fingers were almost as thick as thick steel bars.

"Pop!" There was a sound.

Even Bai Xiaosheng felt the pain, watching as the gloomy man’s head jerked back as if he had been shot.

Then.

The man clutched his head with both hands and squatted down, seemingly fainting.

This move was probably more effective than pepper spray.

Bai Xiaosheng sighed.

Meanwhile, he saw a large bump forming on the guy’s head.

Lei Ying stood in front of the man, bent down, and asked amiably, "Feeling more clear-headed?"

A shake of the head.

Seemed like he was even more dazed.

Lei Ying didn’t care and continued to ask, "Are you going to keep causing trouble?"

A shake of the head.

Seemed like he dared not.

Lei Ying stood up, smiled at Bai Xiaosheng, and made a "please" gesture.

Bai Xiaosheng could only give a wry smile.

Lin Weiwei ran over, panting, stood nearby, and curiously watched the scene unfold.

Bai Xiaosheng squatted in front of the man, "So, shall we find a place to talk? It looks like your things are gone, and there’s nowhere to chase after them, right?"

The man was silent.

He nodded his head.

Ten minutes later, the four of them were in a noodle shop.

Bai Xiaosheng and the others ate their noodles while the man just stared blankly at the noodles in front of him, not touching them.

"Eat up, things will always work out. You can talk to us about what happened," Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

The man looked somewhat miserable, he took off his glasses, wiped them with a tissue, and put them on again.

Truth be told, if he were a bit more rational, this was quite an attractive man.

Why insist on going mad with a brick, though?

"Earlier, I may have been rash. Please forgive me," the man said this much only, then picked up a cup of water next to him and drank it all in one gulp.

"Perhaps we can help you," Bai Xiaosheng kindly offered.

The man shook his head, "Some things, you can’t help with! My bag didn’t contain money, but it held someone’s future and fate. I came to Tianqiu to save someone. Now, I’ve screwed it up!"

"My only hope is that those with ill intentions will not get off without retribution! May thunder strike them down!"

The man cursed, while also glancing at everyone present.

That look, full of insinuation...

You still suspect we have ulterior motives?!

Lin Weiwei was somewhat annoyed.

Does this have a hint of indirect criticism?

Who here doesn’t have good intentions?

Lin Weiwei felt that this person was truly a bastard.

However, if she got angry because of this, wouldn’t she be inviting insult?

Lin Weiwei silently composed herself.

Lei Ying’s expression was also somewhat gloomy.

Bai Xiaosheng, on the other hand, remained calm and composed.

"If everyone is indeed intending to help me out of goodwill, and if there is any misunderstanding here, then I, Zhang Wenxin, would like to apologize first. Let’s say I’m blind to kindness! I have other matters to attend to, so goodbye!"

After speaking, Zhang Wenxin stood up and, without looking back, walked away briskly.

"Hey!" Lin Weiwei frowned, seeming angry at the other’s attitude.

Insulting without insulting, thankful without being thankful, what’s with that!

"Forget it." Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, stopping Lin Weiwei and looked toward Zhang Wenxin’s retreating figure, "Until now, he doesn’t trust us, so let him be."

At this point, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t be bothered with that guy anymore.

"Let him be." Lei Ying took Zhang Wenxin’s bowl of noodles and began eating heartily.

After eating, the three of them, Bai Xiaosheng, took a taxi to a hotel they had previously selected and checked in.

This location was convenient for their investigations.

Once in the hotel room, the three sat down together, and Bai Xiaosheng told Lei Ying the purpose of their trip.

"This is the first significant task we’ve received since our promotion. We need to do it beautifully!"

Lei Ying flexed his neck, feeling excited.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and handed over a document to Lei Ying, "This is the evidence of Chen Yucheng’s issues sent to me by Elder Xia, printed at the high-speed train station before we came. We’ve seen the electronic version; take a look at this."

Lei Ying nodded, took it, and began to peruse intently.

After looking at the first page, he smacked his lips.

"This bank account under Chen Yucheng’s name has received tens of millions since three years ago, all large transactions, untouched. Recently, though, when there were inquiries, ATM footage showed Chen Yucheng himself. Tsk tsk, that should count as solid evidence! It seems there’s no way he can clear himself of this," Lei Ying sighed.

"The accounts that transferred money into this card all belong to those criminals’ private accounts. The next page has it!" Bai Xiaosheng said, "With such ’detailed’ evidence, and there’s a whole stack of it. Scary, isn’t it!"

"Do we still need to investigate then?" Lei Ying couldn’t help but ask.

This was already ironclad proof!

They could directly question this Chen Yucheng and then hand him over to the judiciary.

"Someone has paved the way for us to send Chen Yucheng all the way to jail!"

"I, however, don’t want to follow their path!"

Bai Xiaosheng laughed, "If Chen Yucheng is being framed, I can’t stand idly by!"

"If he really has serious issues, then I also need to find out the ’kind-hearted people’ who ’helped’ and take a good look at them!"

"Are those people really acting out of fairness and morality!"

Bai Xiaosheng’s words made Lei Ying nod seriously, "I think you’re making good sense!"

If this was truly for the benefit of the conglomerate, those people should have blown the whistle and exposed Chen Yucheng long ago.

But they didn’t!

Probably, Chen Yucheng had hit their core interests!

"Let’s investigate and drag those lurkers out of the shadows!" Lei Ying was still full of fighting spirit.

To him, the greater the difficulty, the more challenging it was.

Lin Weiwei also smiled; if Lei Ying had been this devoted from the start, he would probably be a complete workaholic.

Even now, he wasn’t much different.

"Read the materials thoroughly; tomorrow, we officially start work!" Bai Xiaosheng stood up, pointed at those documents, and smiled at Lei Ying.

Right at this moment.

In the same hotel, on the floor three levels down from where Bai Xiaosheng and the others were staying.

In the same type of suite, in the living room.

A tea set was arranged on the coffee table, and a man in his forties was handling the tea set.

A complex preparation of Kung Fu Tea.

The man had a calm expression, neither arrogant nor restless.

A man in his forties with fair skin and a well-maintained physique, he almost looked like a man in his thirties at a glance.

At this moment, all his attention was focused on rinsing and brewing the tea, seemingly undisturbed by anything from the outside world.

In the other half of the living room.

The floor was densely covered with various documents, laid out page by page, like a tiled floor.

Someone knocked on the door outside.

The man remained unmoved, just raising his voice to call out, "Xiao Qiang."

"I’ll get the door," a young man looking like an assistant replied, rushing to answer it.

The door opened.

There stood Zhang Wenxin, outside the door.
