"President Bai, didn’t you just finalize a deal with Gong Group? It’s ruthless to burn bridges, the Gong Family might..."
Bai Zhengxian sneered, "So what if I did? Once the ship departs from the Gong Family Port, the Third Young Master becomes useless. Besides, the Third Young Master and the old man haven’t seen eye to eye for a long time. Now with Gong Yao and my daughter together, do I even need to say who will own the Gong Family without the Third Young Master?"
The crowd was silent, exchanging glances.
Bai Zhengxian raised his glass and took a sip of his drink.
"It doesn’t matter if you disagree."
As the crowd was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Bai Zhengxian slowly continued, "Then you’ll accompany the Third Young Master on his journey."
"..."
There was a sharp intake of breath in the meeting room.
Those present bit their inner lips, realizing Bai Zhengxian held leverage over them, it was a dead end either way.
Might as well take a gamble.
Someone immediately stood up and said, "We will follow President Bai’s arrangements."
Bai Zhengxian raised his glass, "Rest assured, the future of Jing City will be under all your control."
In the face of profit, everyone is a gambler.
The group stood and raised their glasses, then started to discuss the next steps.
...
Outside the door.
The incident with Bai Ruoshu and Gong Yao created enough chaos for Chu Yin to escape the driver’s monitoring.
After Bai Zhengxian left the lounge, she quietly followed him until he entered the second-floor meeting room.
Chu Yin watched for a moment, and just as she was about to step forward, the meeting room door opened again.
Bai Zhengxian’s assistant entered the room opposite with a laptop.
When he came out again, the laptop was gone.
By the way, he repeatedly confirmed the door’s lock, there must be something important on that laptop.
Once the assistant returned to the meeting room, Chu Yin quickly stepped forward.
She pushed the door twice, inspected the lock, and drew a card from her bag, sliding it into the door gap several times.
With a click, the door opened.
Chu Yin had once played a thief who died within a minute of appearing in a role.
To fit the role, the director had her practice opening doors with a room card for a long time.
Unexpectedly, she was now using it a second time.
Entering the room, Chu Yin found it was Bai Zhengxian’s temporary office.
There were many documents on the desk.
And that laptop.
Chu Yin didn’t immediately step forward but cautiously observed the surroundings, ensuring there were no traps before approaching.
She opened the laptop, and the password entry screen popped up instantly.
Chu Yin hesitated, how could she possibly know Bai Zhengxian’s password?
Calm down, calm down.
Everyone’s password has meaning and must relate to themselves.
Bai Zhengxian was deeply guarded, difficult to fathom.
But from discussions with Lin Zhiyi, she discovered he was very fixated on their face.
So far, the one who made Bai Zhengxian most satisfied was Lin Zhiyi.
Appearance, personality, seemed to match his requirements.
With this thought, Chu Yin took a deep breath, her fingertips trembled as they approached the keyboard.
She entered Lin Zhiyi’s name.
The screen flickered, and it opened.
Chu Yin was stunned for a few seconds, somewhat disbelieving.
No time to be excited, she quickly examined the computer.
She thought it would be smooth, but as she opened file after file, there was nothing special.
Chu Yin listened to the noise outside while looking at the computer.
With each click, she felt her breath becoming more urgent, and soon sweat dotted her brow.
Did she guess wrong?
No.
Since he brought the laptop to the meeting room, it must have had a purpose.
Chu Yin’s mind suddenly lit up, and she directly clicked on the recently used files.
Sure enough, in the list, there was a file called ’Invoice.’
Upon opening, there were many files with names written.
Among them was a man who forced bikini-clad women to dance on the ship.
Chu Yin clicked on the man’s file, and what opened were indecent photos and financial transactions.
She instantly realized.
These were the leverage against those people.
Chu Yin pulled out her phone to quickly take photos of the evidence, but her hand paused a second before pressing the shutter.
The phone had been returned to her by Bai Zhengxian today.
Whether he tampered with her phone, she didn’t know.
Chu Yin decided not to risk it, put down the phone, and chose to print the files instead.
While printing, she deleted the print traces.
