Chapter 1231: Chapter 1194: In Great Fury

Bai Xiaosheng made several calls to Xiahou Qi, all of which went unanswered.

"Is Elder Xia busy in a meeting?" Bai Xiaosheng frowned, muttering to himself.

These past few days, the headquarters were also busy with meetings.

Bai Xiaosheng was aware of this.

Xiahou Qi mentioned that he would pin down Shen Peishen and his people at headquarters.

To avoid causing troubles here as much as possible.

Indeed, Elder Xia did exactly that!

But watching Shen Peishen wasn’t easy, and Bai Xiaosheng was also worried about Xiahou Qi’s health.

However, each time they spoke on the phone, the old man sounded vigorous, and since things were genuinely busy on this end, Bai Xiaosheng gradually put his mind at ease.

"Right now, Han Hefei is unusually cooperative, providing us with many valuable, yet temporarily inapplicable clues. Is this merely to stall time, a plan they prepared early?"

"When exactly did Shen Peishen learn about the incident here, was it after we made our move on Han Hefei... or before?!"

"These past few days, has Shen Peishen really stayed put at the headquarters? He could’ve defied orders, after such a major incident shook his foundation and threatened his life!"

"Thinking carefully, many things here indeed seem amiss!"

...

Pondering over these, Bai Xiaosheng felt inexplicably troubled.

However, he also firmly believed.

Regardless of what happened, Elder Xia would certainly be able to maintain control of the situation.

Currently, at the locations under investigation, several Senior Affairs Officers were overseeing things, communicating with each other, and no anomalies were detected.

"Am I overthinking it? Or is it just that underlying currents are surging, and Shen Peishen is merely plotting a counterstrike!" Bai Xiaosheng thought worriedly, furrowing his brows.

Little did Bai Xiaosheng know.

At headquarters, at this moment, a shocking change had occurred!

Even a dramatic scene of a palace coup had unfolded!

Xiahou Qi had collapsed under the impact of betrayal from his own people.

"Before things become clear, I shouldn’t speculate wildly and confuse myself!" Bai Xiaosheng reminded himself internally, trying to calm down.

Lin Weiwei, who had come with Bai Xiaosheng, held a tablet, occasionally looking at the information on it and then at Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng was deep in thought, still maintaining the posture of making calls, so Lin Weiwei did not go up to disturb him.

Finally, another call failed to go through, and Bai Xiaosheng put down his phone, deciding to stop calling Xiahou Qi for the time being.

Believing that Elder Xia, after finishing the meeting and seeing so many missed calls, would get back to him.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng put away his phone, Lin Weiwei approached and cautiously asked, "Brother Xiaosheng, what’s wrong, is there a problem with Han Hefei?!"

After visiting Han Hefei, Bai Xiaosheng had this demeanor, so Lin Weiwei naturally associated it with him.

Since Bai Xiaosheng himself was unaware of the specifics, he just shook his head with a smile at Lin Weiwei, motioned towards the tablet in her hand, and asked, "How’s it outside now?"

In Nanyu and surrounding provinces, hundreds of Affairs Officers and Assistants were investigating over twenty corporate groups, and the scope of investigations was expanding.

Almost every moment, there were inquiries about the direction of investigation, requests for authorization, demands for additional personnel, among various other issues.

"There are some tasks that need your attention!" Lin Weiwei handed the tablet to Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng temporarily set aside his concerns, took the tablet from Lin Weiwei, and walked to his temporary office to handle the affairs first.

After taking a few steps, Bai Xiaosheng still felt unsettled and turned to Lin Weiwei, instructing, "Weiwei, go and call Lei Ying back!"

Lin Weiwei was momentarily stunned, then nodded, crisply replying, "Okay!"

"We previously thought Han Hefei was too cooperative, so we overlooked it. Now, it seems, no matter whether he cooperates or not, we must intensify our efforts and expedite our pace! Even if they plan anything, we only seek to be fast and fierce! Even if the situation changes, we must cling tightly to their main weaknesses! Break through!"

Bai Xiaosheng seemed to be talking to himself, seemingly making a decision, then strode toward his office with determination.

Lin Weiwei quickly took out her phone and contacted Lei Ying.

Now, with Lei Ying outside, it would also take two hours for him to return.

...

Bai Xiaosheng worked in the office for two hours, until 1:30 pm.

During this period, those consulting Bai Xiaosheng clearly noticed that the style of the Senior Affairs Officer had changed.

More "aggressive"!

More swift and decisive!

It seems that he wants results by the afternoon whenever he gets a clue in the morning!

As a result, those below him couldn’t help but start to adapt to Bai Xiaosheng’s pace.

When Lei Ying arrived, Bai Xiaosheng was having lunch, eating a simple boxed meal voraciously.

Lin Weiwei was also eating by the side.

As soon as Lei Ying came back, Bai Xiaosheng greeted him, knew he hadn’t had lunch, and asked Lin Weiwei to get one for him.

The three of them ate in the office.

Bai Xiaosheng ate quickly, thinking about discussing with Lei Ying after finishing his meal on how to pry open Han Hefei’s mouth to get more useful information!

However, before he could finish his meal, Bai Xiaosheng’s mobile phone started ringing.

Bai Xiaosheng grabbed his phone, thinking it was Elder Xia calling.

"Is it her?!" Seeing the name on the caller ID, Bai Xiaosheng was extremely surprised, but still answered the call, his voice calm, "Yu Ying, are you looking for me? Is there something wrong?"

While Bai Xiaosheng was on the phone, Lei Ying was fervently gobbling down his food, chewing deliciously.

Lin Weiwei had started eating earlier and had already finished, now cleaning up.

Suddenly, there was silence on Bai Xiaosheng’s end.

Both Lin Weiwei looked up simultaneously without agreement and saw a scene.

Bai Xiaosheng seemed to be frozen, standing there.

His expression was one of unprecedented horror, as if he had heard some terrifying news!

Something bad has happened!

Both Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying thought at the same time.

Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes started to fill with anger.

However, he remained silent, his gaze ferocious.

"Understood," Bai Xiaosheng said these three words in a voice unlike his own.

Hoarse, deep, as if compressing a heavy emotion in his throat.

Then, his hand dropped, slamming the hung-up phone onto the table.

"Xiaosheng?"

"Sheng!"

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying called out almost simultaneously.

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t even look at them, he stood up and walked straight out.

In that moment, his eyes were blood-red and frightening.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying hurriedly followed him.

...

Shenhe Group, Assistant Office.

The Affairs Officer and assistant responsible for interrogating Han Hefei were eating lunch, and Han Hefei was also eating.

However, the quality and abundance of Han Hefei’s meal were significantly better, as he was not yet a prisoner and received a privileged treatment.

It was a calm noon, and both parties were enjoying their meal.

Suddenly, a loud "bang" erupted!

It was so loud it made people’s ears buzz.

One assistant dropped their chopsticks in fright.

Another one directly bit through their plastic spoon.

The door of the assistant office, connected with metal hinges, the top one flew off, causing the whole door to collapse.

If the force had been any stronger, perhaps the whole door would have been blown away.

Bai Xiaosheng walked in step by step from the outside, his expression gloomy, carrying a storm of fury.

"Out!" Bai Xiaosheng glanced at the Affairs Officer and assistant responsible for the interrogation, his voice hoarse.

Upon seeing him, the three people scrambled up in panic and fled as if escaping.

Han Hefei looked up at Bai Xiaosheng, continuing to eat his lunch calmly.

However, his lips curled into a rare smile these days.

A smile so refreshing, so proud!
