Chapter 2844: Chapter 1997: Witnesses In Position (Part 2)

After thinking for a moment, Bai Xiaosheng took out his phone and dialed a number.

He called Wen Yan.

Soon, the call was connected.

After a brief greeting, Bai Xiaosheng informed Wen Yan of the situation here and then said, "I think we can stir the grass to scare the snake again. Anyway, our people are already in position at various places, with clear targets. If there’s any movement here, any attempt to shrink and hide in other places would also more easily reveal flaws. Mr. Wen Yan, what do you think?"

"That’s pretty similar to what I was thinking."

Wen Yan supported the idea and offered some of his own suggestions.

The two of them conspired for a while.

Before ending the call, Wen Yan said, "You’ll have to be pushed into the spotlight again, working hard to become a thorn in the side of Morgan’s faction to cover for the work of our people in various places. But rest assured, I will always be your steadfast supporter here."

Bai Xiaosheng humorously replied, "I never shy away from the limelight."

Wen Yan chuckled softly, then seriously advised Bai Xiaosheng, "Be careful over there. Pay attention to your safety!"

"I will," Bai Xiaosheng sincerely replied.

After ending the call with Wen Yan, Bai Xiaosheng thought for a moment and then made another call.

"Is this Mr. Zack? I’d like to meet with you. Yes, there’s something I need to discuss. It’s very important," Bai Xiaosheng said.

Some matters needed to be arranged in advance.

After making the call, Bai Xiaosheng left the room, went downstairs, and waited in a café in the hotel.

About an hour later, Zack arrived.

And as Bai Xiaosheng instructed, he came alone, without even bringing his son Beno.

At this time, the café had few customers, making it a suitable place for discussions.

"Mr. Bai, why not meet at my office? Why here?"

Zack found Bai Xiaosheng and greeted him with curiosity.

"It’s more convenient here," Bai Xiaosheng smiled slightly.

After a brief greeting, a waiter came over and Zack ordered a cup of coffee.

When the coffee was served, Zack added sugar and milk and politely asked Bai Xiaosheng, "Why did you call me here? What is it about?"

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t rush to respond. Instead, he smiled and took out his phone, found a short video, and handed it to Zack while sipping his coffee.

Zack took the phone, puzzled, and opened the video. His smile froze, and his expression changed.

The video showed a meeting and conversation between Zack and Jonas.

The two of them secretly divided a considerable sum of money.

Zack couldn’t help but glance up at Bai Xiaosheng, forcing a smile, "Mr. Bai, where did you get this video?!"

Though he pretended to be calm, Zack’s eyes revealed shock and panic.

Anyone caught on surveillance would react this way.

Bai Xiaosheng shrugged, "Anonymous. Maybe one of your people, maybe Jonas’s, perhaps dissatisfied with their work, so they recorded something and sent it to me."

Zack narrowed his eyes, his expression completely changed, now looking at Bai Xiaosheng darkly, "I don’t understand why that person gave it to you?!"

Zack didn’t believe Bai Xiaosheng’s words and suspected that Bai Xiaosheng had someone perform a trick.

However, every meeting had seemed normal, and those present were indeed their own people.

This left Zack totally bewildered.

Something like this being recorded was a major problem. With Jonas backed by the group, if an investigation was initiated, Zack would be prosecuted too.

But compared to that, the immediate problem was the evidence in Bai Xiaosheng’s hands!

Did he want to use this as blackmail to buy his other piece of land for a low price? Zack looked at the young man in front of him with a complicated expression.

He had once considered this young man from Huaxia a benefactor, but now he made Zack feel a chill.

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t directly respond to Zack’s question. Instead, he took his phone again and murmured, "I have a lot of videos like this. There are ones of you with Jonas, and ones with the general manager of the Golun International Subsidiary. Mr. Zack, behind my back, you’ve taken quite a few extra benefits, and I didn’t know at all."

Zack stared intently at Bai Xiaosheng, subtly adjusting his breath to calm down, even managing to smile.

"If it’s because of this, Mr. Bai, you might not understand. This is a customary deal we had. I intended to explain it to you later. These interests shouldn’t mean much to you. If you want them, I’m willing to give them all to you. Our long-term collaboration shouldn’t be affected by these small gains, right?"

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Zack and smiled.

This smile made Zack’s face twitch, the smile hard to maintain.

"This isn’t about money, it’s a matter of principle," Bai Xiaosheng quietly said. "Whether it’s Jonas or the general manager of the Golun International Subsidiary, they can’t escape being dismissed and face the possibility of prison. And what about you, Mr. Zack? Although you’re not facing removal, you too would face imprisonment! This would also severely impact your family’s business!"

Bai Xiaosheng’s gentle words made Zack’s hair stand on end, his face pale.

"Mr. Bai, there’s no need to be so harsh!" Zack stared at Bai Xiaosheng, unblinking.

Bai Xiaosheng raised his coffee, sipping while gesturing with a finger to suggest that Zack should lower his voice.

Zack quickly looked around nervously, only relaxing when no one was watching.

"It’s not about being harsh or not, it’s about responsibility. I have to expose this," Bai Xiaosheng calmly said.

Zack’s pupils constricted, though curiosity mingled with his shock.

"Responsibility? What responsibility... who are you?!"

Zack realized the implication in Bai Xiaosheng’s words.

Bai Xiaosheng spoke unhurriedly, "I previously said our cooperation was my own business dealings with you, but in reality, it was using my friend’s wealth. Besides that, I hold another position."

Zack sat up straight, eyes fixed on Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t hide it, "Actually, I’m the business president of Zhenbei Group, Bai Xiaosheng."

Zack froze when he heard Bai Xiaosheng reveal his identity.

Zhenbei Group? Business President?

Isn’t that Jonas’s superior!

Wait, Jonas mentioned a business president was sent to support Ice Spring Valley Company financially.

Could it be him!

Zack could hardly believe it.

While waiting for him to process this, Bai Xiaosheng continued, "Jonas disregarded the group’s interests, and we’ve fully grasped his secret dealings. His greed and embezzlement are intolerable to the group! And as for the Golun International Subsidiary’s responsible person, I doubt they can escape legal justice either."

"So, what about you, Mr. Zack?" Bai Xiaosheng gently asked.

Zack’s face changed dramatically, showing a myriad of emotions every second.

Fear, anxiety, dread.

Such a business scandal could ruin his reputation, implicate his family, and cause a stock market crash.

Moreover, according to Domido City’s laws, he’d be jailed...

These consequences made Zack shiver.

"Of course, Mr. Zack, because of my presence, you have another choice." Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

This sentence was like a lifeline tossed to a drowning man.

Zack felt a glimmer of light in his muddled brain, clarifying his thoughts.

"What choice?" Zack asked anxiously.

"Become a witness."

Bai Xiaosheng replied leisurely.

Zack looked blankly at Bai Xiaosheng.

"Is there another option..." Zack murmured.

Bai Xiaosheng simply shook his head.

Zack thought for a full minute before gritting his teeth and saying, "I’m willing!"

Bai Xiaosheng’s smile appeared as he raised his coffee cup.

"This is a new collaboration. But rest assured, Mr. Zack, our original cooperation remains valid."

Zack took two deep breaths and also raised his coffee cup.

Within this short time, his eyes had regained a glimmer of determination, unlike the darkness and helplessness from before.

"Mr. Bai, I knew that being friends with you wouldn’t go wrong!"
