Chapter 2843 - 1997: Witnesses in Position

Chapter 2843: Chapter 1997: Witnesses in Position

For three consecutive days, Bai Xiaosheng has been lying low in Domido City, quietly observing the changing circumstances.

Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, and the local staff from the headquarters’ Monitoring Department have all been deployed, acting according to the original plan.

During this period, reinforcements sent by Wen Yan arrived continuously, and they were also spread out.

Bai Xiaosheng also communicated with Wen Yan, and additional reinforcements sent to other parts of Oceania were assigned to local personnel, using a "veteran guiding novice" approach to ensure there was no idle manpower.

Interestingly, although Bai Xiaosheng clearly denied being in Lagodi, Fei’er continued searching for his whereabouts there, seemingly unable to return for a while.

Currently, Bai Xiaosheng has set up a stage in Domido City, where Zhenbei Group’s Ice Spring Valley Company, Zack Company, and Golun International Subsidiary are like puppets, unknowingly performing a great show under his control.

As an unseen spectator, Bai Xiaosheng has never appeared in many scenarios, but he is intimately familiar with every scene and even every detail.

For example, the private meeting between Zack, Jonas, and the Golun International Subsidiary’s general manager.

For example, the private mortgage loan agreement signed between Zack and the Golun International Subsidiary’s general manager.

Or, the meeting between Zack and Jonas where they completed the final step of a loan transaction.

Much of the crucial information was told to Bai Xiaosheng by Zack, but even more was "seen" by Bai Xiaosheng himself.

In this context, the efficiency and methods of the Zhenbei Group’s headquarters Monitoring Department must be mentioned—they are even able to covertly acquire some footage, even of private talks where no outsiders are present, sometimes even from multiple angles.

This footage will serve as compelling evidence for the group headquarters.

Of course, issues with just one or two company heads are insufficient to effectively accuse higher-level figures or threaten people like Vice Chairman Morgan.

But this is not in vain.

Powerful animals have sharp claws and teeth. While it may be difficult to shake the body at once, cutting off the claws and teeth—enough of them—can severely weaken it, hastening its downfall.

One or two individuals or companies can forcibly justify, evade, and explain away issues.

If a large number of "cases" emerge, Vice Chairman Morgan and others won’t be able to justify themselves and will be embarrassingly out of the picture!

Bai Xiaosheng is working with this mindset: on one hand, gathering information to turn local incidents into "cases," while having Monitoring Department staff in Oceania closely watch enterprises related to the Morgan Family, especially those linked to group enterprises, for covert investigations.

Similarly, Bai Xiaosheng also has his people focus on the Caroline Family.

Compared to the Morgan Family, the Caroline Family’s shady businesses are less concealable, as they often serve as cover for the Morgan Family, making them easier to track.

Moreover, Bai Xiaosheng has planted the most covert spy next to Caroline—her own brother, Robert.

If a breakthrough occurs with the Caroline Family, the Morgan Family will struggle to remain unaffected, and vice versa.

However, this cannot be rushed; it requires a gradual, long-term effort to be effective.

Bai Xiaosheng is patient and enduring.

On the fourth day, with funds all in place, the Ice Spring Valley Company held a grand press conference, inviting various media to announce compensation for the Golun International Subsidiary’s losses.

In front of the media cameras, Jonas spoke passionately and eloquently on stage.

"...Although this incident was largely due to natural disasters, some human errors on our part contributed to Golun International’s losses. As a subsidiary of Zhenbei Group, Ice Spring Valley Company is a responsible and accountable company. With the support of the group headquarters, we have decided to fully compensate Golun International Subsidiary’s losses. Here, we also thank people from all sectors, the media for their attention, and thank everyone for their trust and support..."

At this moment, sitting in front of the TV, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but smile.

"This Mr. Jonas is quite capable and intelligent, using this to advertise for his company, adding glory to the group. If this gets back to headquarters, he will no doubt receive a lot of praise. The bigger the stir, the safer he might think he is."

After Jonas’s speech, the scene shifted to the Golun International Subsidiary’s general manager, who also stood up to speak.

The general manager lavishly praised Zhenbei Group and Ice Spring Valley Company, flattering Jonas for his responsibility and the big corporate aura he exudes.

The scene was filled with applause.

Bai Xiaosheng wanted to laugh at the screen, "These two make quite the business couple, so adept at public performance."

Then, Bai Xiaosheng muttered to himself, "I had Kelson in Europe send Jonas’s Ice Spring Valley Company a business deal, which was signed and paid yesterday. This profit will likely be withheld by Jonas to pay his debts, and he might also pocket part of it. By today, they have almost committed all the mistakes they could make, and it seems I have gathered enough details for my ’case’."

The press conference was still underway, but Bai Xiaosheng felt there was no longer any need to watch, so he turned off the TV.
