Chapter 1137: Chapter 1129: Please Eliminate Yourself!

The moment Bai Xiaosheng saw Lin Yu, he instantly understood—why there was a look of relief on Wang Ziyu’s face.

Was it because he felt he was among his own, that the student whom Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng valued the most was here, and thought that there might be a turn of fortune? Did he feel safe now?!

Bai Xiaosheng looked back briefly.

Wang Ziyu’s expression was calm, he nodded with a smile, and then gently closed the door behind him.

This was to give Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Yu time and space for a private conversation.

Bai Xiaosheng did not object to this.

Outside, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying saw Wang Ziyu turn around and stand at the door like a bodyguard, and even smiled at them, "Officer Lin Yu is inside, I think Senior Affairs Officer Xiaosheng would also like to talk to him alone. The snacks and tea are also ready inside; shall we just wait here?"

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged glances and nodded immediately.

Since Bai Xiaosheng inside the door had not objected, they agreed to the conversation, and waiting here was no harm.

In Wang Ziyu’s office, Lin Yu walked to the sofa area with a smile and gestured for Bai Xiaosheng to sit.

"Knowing Senior Affairs Officer Xiaosheng loves tea, this is freshly brewed tea I brought myself, given by the teacher, Huangshan Maofeng, let’s try it."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, walked over, "Since it’s Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng’s tea, it must be good."

"Hmm, it’s said to be from a hundred-year-old tea tree from the famous peaks of Huangshan. Not sure if it’s true, but it tastes nice and looks ’like sparrow’s tongue in shape, and yellow like ivory’; its characteristics are also genuine," Lin Yu said with a smile.

They sat facing each other.

Lin Yu handed over a cup of tea, Bai Xiaosheng looked at the tea in the cup and nodded appreciatively several times.

"The tea really is good, from a hundred-year-old tree on the famous peaks of Huangshan. It must be very valuable, priceless perhaps? Even if the treatment of a Grand Affairs Officer is high, perhaps it’s also out of reach," Bai Xiaosheng remarked.

Lin Yu’s eyebrows twitched slightly, then he smiled, "It wasn’t purchased by the teacher though. In terms of rules, the teacher has always been a role model for Grand Affairs Officers. This tea was a gift from his student."

"Is it from our group?" Bai Xiaosheng looked up with a smile.

Lin Yu looked at Bai Xiaosheng, then suddenly smiled without speaking.

He wouldn’t answer that question anyway.

Bai Xiaosheng studied Lin Yu’s face and found him calm and composed, which made him reflect, "It’s said one should view with admiration, those who have changed much in three days, yet we haven’t spoken deeply for over a year. I find Officer Lin Yu’s cultivation of mind quite impressive."

Lin Yu smiled too, "Yes, originally, I thought about aiming for Grand Affairs Officer."

But you snatched it away!

In Lin Yu’s eyes, a calm yet barely perceivable sharpness flickered.

"Let’s drink tea, drink tea!" Bai Xiaosheng raised his cup with a smile.

"Drink tea, drink tea!" Lin Yu, staring into Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, also smiled, lifting his cup to his mouth.

The taste was mellow and rich, the flavor deep and lingering.

This tea had an air of a gentleman’s grace, warm, pure, and refined.

Truly, the tea was excellent!

If people were like tea, how much less filth there would be in the world.

Setting down his cup, Bai Xiaosheng snapped back from his reverie, looked at Lin Yu, and chuckled, "Just now, I should probably address you as New-type Affairs Officer."

"No matter how new, I’m just an Affairs Officer. There’s no comparison with Senior Affairs Officer Xiaosheng, the true Grand Affairs Officer!" Lin Yu replied with a laugh, though there seemed to be some resentment in his eyes.

Just one step, only one step away, and Lin Yu could have transformed and become the Grand Affairs Officer.

But in the end, Bai Xiaosheng cut in front of him!

Lin Yu had been the standard for an Affairs Officer for several years, yet he could not top someone who had been in office just over a year!

To the point of becoming a joke in the department!

Moreover, this man had also won the heart of the woman Lin Yu liked!

Even if Lin Yu’s nature were tempered into steel or stone, he could never let go of his feelings toward Bai Xiaosheng!

After his failure to become the Grand Affairs Officer, Lin Yu truly felt low for a while, during which he increasingly revered the philosophies of Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng, those he used to disagree with.

Lin Yu even started to believe that his former self was incredibly foolish!

The path he adhered to, what did it yield him in the end?

Nothing!

Not even a reputation!

The losses, indeed, were significant!

After being downhearted and gloomy, Lin Yu constantly pondered one question—

If he had followed the path his teacher gave from the start, would everything be his now?

Regrettably.

Life has no ifs, nor any hypotheticals.

Hence Lin Yu decided he would no longer entertain that "if" and, starting now, he would seize everything!

Lin Yu had become a steadfast supporter of Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng at a remarkable pace.

Bai Xiaosheng detected Lin Yu’s discontent and resentment.

About this, he merely smiled, comforting and encouraging him by saying, "Keep up the effort, I too came up from a New-type Affairs Officer, you can do it too!"

Lin Yu’s face flushed slightly.

These were words meant to encourage the younger generation, yet they came from Bai Xiaosheng, directed at himself!

Who did this Bai Xiaosheng think he was!

Bai Xiaosheng drank tea.

He too noticed the change in Lin Yu and felt regret, lamenting how a person who once was so upright could suddenly fall and stand against him.

It only showed that life was like a drama, human nature was ever-changing.

Facing such a Lin Yu, facing an almost pure enemy, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t mind teasing him a bit.

Lin Yu was somewhat provoked, but then he bowed his head to drink tea, hiding his impulse to burst out and strike the man across from him.

"I’m merely curious, Officer Lin Yu, how did you arrive here so coincidentally? Just as I started to contact Wang Ziyu, you appeared. Could it be that you were just nearby and Wang Ziyu called you yesterday?" Bai Xiaosheng asked.

The coincidence of Lin Yu’s appearance and the "relieved" expression of Wang Ziyu definitely had an inevitable connection.

The other side must have thought of a proper way to handle it.

Of course, they didn’t know what Bai Xiaosheng had obtained from the Zhang Family, from Xu Yuncong.

Otherwise, they would never send someone into this "certain death trap."

No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to take Wang Ziyu away!

Bai Xiaosheng thought, looking at Lin Yu.

Unfortunately, Lin Yu couldn’t read subtle cues or minds, unable to guess what Bai Xiaosheng was thinking.

Lin Yu just smiled, "I came directly from headquarters, I don’t even know Wang Ziyu; why would he call me?"

This statement made Bai Xiaosheng laugh.

"Let’s not beat around the bush here, there are no third eyes or ears," Bai Xiaosheng said earnestly. "Since I’ve set my sights on Wang Ziyu, I know he is one of Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng’s men. Whether you admit it or not doesn’t matter."

"However, my teacher once told me, it’s not always necessary to spell everything out," Lin Yu followed up.

That was an acknowledgment, yet not an admission.

"From New-type Affairs Officer to Senior Affairs Officer capturing Shangyun and resolving Shang Wenshu’s trouble, we took notice. My teacher said, you might have targeted Wang Ziyu," Lin Yu said. "So, I came."

He left much unsaid.

But if it was someone like Shen Peisheng, cautious and astute, terribly shrewd in his calculations,

thinking that Bai Xiaosheng was coming for this reason, wouldn’t surprise anyone.

"My teacher also said, you might have gotten your information from Guo Yunxin or Sun Youhe," Lin Yu added.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded involuntarily, "No wonder Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng is shrewd!"

A part of him admired that.

"So, you came here, regardless of whether Wang Ziyu sent you any information?" Bai Xiaosheng asked.

"He did not!" Lin Yu said, not minding revealing Wang Ziyu’s concealment.

This could be seen as a sign of disloyalty, but Lin Yu seemed unbothered, Shen Peisheng often reminded his pupil—

Don’t expect everyone to give everything up and be loyal to you!

Nor should you lightly speak of ’trust’ to anyone!

They gather around you for their benefit.

Then you might as well regard them as chess pieces!

The more Lin Yu considered his teacher’s viewpoints, the more he found them to be wise words.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at him and laughed, "Just now outside, I saw Wang Ziyu looking relaxed and at ease, I think you’ve already thought of a way to rescue him. Even facing me, a Senior Affairs Officer! Good, I really want to see, want to learn, how you could take someone away from me!"

Bai Xiaosheng was genuinely interested.

Lin Yu laughed too.

"I’ve often heard my teacher praising how capable Senior Affairs Officer Xiaosheng is, yet I didn’t expect you could also be completely wrong," Lin Yu said with a triumphant smile.

Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback and laughed, "What do you mean?"

"Who said I’m here to rescue Wang Ziyu?" Lin Yu laughed. "I came with conclusive evidence to investigate Wang Ziyu, and I’ve already reported this to headquarters, even before Senior Affairs Officer Xiaosheng! My teacher is now in charge of this matter."

"Senior Affairs Officer Xiaosheng, there’s nothing here for you anymore!"

"If you want to get involved, then please go and ask my teacher!"

Lin Yu’s smile was more than cheerful; it was triumphant.

Bai Xiaosheng, you may be a Senior Affairs Officer, but so what!

This time, please step out of the game!
