Chapter 978: Chapter 978: Upon Deliberation, Utterly Horrifying

Noon, Bai Xiaosheng and his two companions found a reasonably decent restaurant and got a private room, where they ate and talked.

"This is all the content that Yu Ying told us," Lin Weiwei said.

Just moments ago, Lin Weiwei had repeated the key points of the information that Yu Ying had shared, with Lei Ying supplementing on the side.

Over the past year, Lin Weiwei had also displayed a lot of talent.

Bai Xiaosheng had Red Lotus search for the most effective methods to train her.

Currently, although Lin Weiwei hadn’t achieved the legendary level of photographic memory or perfect recall, she was still able to memorize key information extremely firmly in a very short time without making mistakes.

The supplementary role of Lei Ying naturally had no chance to shine.

However, Lei Ying was happy to be at leisure, quietly eating and drinking.

After Lin Weiwei finished, she saw Bai Xiaosheng in deep thought and continued, "Although the substantial things she told us seem not much, we can still extract a few valuable clues from them."

Lin Weiwei detailed them one by one, and Bai Xiaosheng nodded continuously.

Lei Ying also stopped, no longer eating, and listened to Lin Weiwei speak.

"Today is Monday, and there are a few days until Friday. You Xiaosheng will attend the mediation at the Zhang Family, and you will meet Zhao Beiqing. Whether you can conceal your identity then is really debatable."

"So, I think we need to be fully prepared. Otherwise, Lei Ying and I can go check those few leads in the next few days?"

Lin Weiwei suggested.

"Allow me to think for a moment," Bai Xiaosheng said, his hands clasped together supporting his chin, his eyes distant.

Lin Weiwei knew he was thinking and did not disturb him.

Inside his mind, Bai Xiaosheng went over the content Lin Weiwei had spoken about.

Those few leads were all genuine and easy to verify, at least for Bai Xiaosheng, who had Red Lotus to search for useful information and easily affirm them.

However, the actual value of following those leads varied in significance.

And the more valuable the clue, the deeper it needed to be dug into, which would take even more time.

Starting the search now, the time until Friday was simply not enough.

Therefore, it required careful consideration.

Bai Xiaosheng thought for a quarter of an hour before finally looking up.

Seeing Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying watching him, he smiled immediately.

"If all we had was this information, we would be very busy. But luckily, we’ve got some other stuff too! I’ll tell you guys about it now!" Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, looking at both of them.

Lin Weiwei and the other person looked surprised, waiting to hear more.

"When you two were in the room with Yu Ying, I had a chat with that uncle!" Bai Xiaosheng said, "First off, I got their names, the uncle’s name is Li Qiushan, the muscular guy is Wu Tong, the woman is Fan Sihui; the one who fought with Lei Ying, one is Wang Qulin, the other is Chen Jiayi. And the one we knocked out first, his name is Yu Sansi."

Bai Xiaosheng intentionally repeated the names of those individuals.

Having experienced Bai Xiaosheng’s memory abilities countless times before, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were not surprised.

Bai Xiaosheng went over the names once again, mentioning which characters they contained.

This emphasis immediately alerted Lin Weiwei that there was something amiss, and she quickly took out her phone to search.

"No need," Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

In fact, as soon as Li Qiushan had told him, Bai Xiaosheng had Red Lotus start searching.

While there might be countless people with the same name in the country, by narrowing the search to Linshen and nearby provinces and cities, it was possible to quickly obtain valid information.

And afterward, Li Qiushan also introduced those people to Bai Xiaosheng.

"These people, they all come from Linshen and several surrounding provinces," said Bai Xiaosheng. "Guess what they used to do?"

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying looked at each other.

Before they could actually guess, Bai Xiaosheng already revealed the answer with a smile, "Every one of them was an entrepreneur, a leader, and their former enterprises were not small in scale either!"

"What!" Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were both shocked.

All those people were entrepreneurs?

How did they fall into such a plight?

"I had also guessed that they were all corporate workers, but the fact that they were leaders... that, I didn’t expect!" Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but be astonished.

"These people are in such a sorry state right now, yet they’ve gathered together to kidnap one of our group’s office assistants, just to find out some things about Zhao Beiqing. Interesting! Moreover, I feel their attitude is to treat Zhao Beiqing as the culprit!" Lei Ying’s eyes flickered. "That is to say, our Affairs Officer in charge of internal surveillance, actually caused six major companies outside our group to go bankrupt!"

Lin Weiwei looked at Lei Ying with a thoughtful gaze.

"I really want to know!" Lei Ying said. "How he did it!"

"The most exaggerated thing is that as an Affairs Officer, although he holds the same rank as a provincial industry head, it is only within our group. An Affairs Officer doesn’t have real power; at most, he can intervene in one of our group’s companies, but he can’t, like Xiaosheng in Yunhai, mobilize local businesses to assault companies outside our group." Lin Weiwei said. "Especially for not small-scale companies, it’s easy to falter in business once or twice, but to be completely driven to bankruptcy, that’s not so easy!"

Lei Ying also nodded in agreement.

This year, he too had come to understand much of the business world, well aware that a large company has its foundation.

A leader who can uphold a big operation, as long as the market currents aren’t too perilous or if they don’t self-destruct, it’s not so easy to fail.

"Yes, if it were Zhao Beiqing alone, he really wouldn’t have the ability to do it," said Bai Xiaosheng.

"However, when these entrepreneurs met Zhao Beiqing, it was when they were in considerable trouble, at a critical juncture between life and death. And a friend introduced Zhao Beiqing to them to solve their problems! Then, Zhao Beiqing helped, and their nightmare began." Bai Xiaosheng continued.

"If companies outside the group are in trouble, why would our group’s Affairs Officer, Zhao Beiqing, want to help them?" Lin Weiwei asked, frowning.

"The key is, what capability does Zhao Beiqing have to help them, making use of our group’s resources?" Lei Ying wondered. "He isn’t a New-type Affairs Officer, he doesn’t have that authority; besides, the group wouldn’t agree either."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

"He went to help with a bunch of ’friends.’ His ’friends’ were also major business owners, of course, none from within the group. Furthermore, even if he had the authority, he would definitely not use the group’s internal resources to help Li Qiushan and others!" Bai Xiaosheng sneered.

"Zhao Beiqing, in private, used external enterprises to help those businesses in crisis, taking advantage of the situation to plot against them?"

"This... sounds a bit incredible..."

"Although it seems unethical, it doesn’t seem to violate any rules, does it? Even if we report it, would the group punish him..."

Suddenly, Lin Weiwei said, "Xiaosheng, why do you emphasize that even if he had the authority, he wouldn’t use the group’s resources to help."

Lei Ying laughed, "Isn’t that easy to understand? Helping businesses with group resources would be public to public, but it seems Zhao Beiqing, in a private to private manner, relied on a group of ’friend’ enterprises to approach, deceive, and target those businesses in distress, then taking benefits from those ’friends’."

This pair gained a lot of experience over this past year; their insight into issues had grown increasingly clear.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, looking at the two of them, "There’s another reason I haven’t mentioned yet."

"Li Qiushan’s companies were actually all driven into a corner by our group’s enterprises! They were ’enemies’ who suffered defeat at the hands of our group!"

At this revelation, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

Businesses defeated by the group, and Zhao Beiqing was responsible for the "kill"?

"When it comes to this, we cannot but mention another person," eyes sparkling, Bai Xiaosheng continued. "The industry head of Hexi Province—"

"Lu Zhixin!"
