CHAPTER 195: EXPENSIVE INFORMATION

When he finished reading the news, Master Hu laughed angrily. "This unfilial son! I told him countless times to come back and help his elder brother, but he always refused, saying he had no interest in business."

Throwing the phone back to his wife, he grumbled, "Look at him now! He didn’t even tell us he had returned, and he secretly became the CEO of Bai Group! He is really going to drive me to an early grave!"

Setting down her phone, Madam Hu gently rubbed his chest and said, "Don’t be angry. Be careful, your blood pressure might rise again."

Glaring at her, Master Hu pouted. "It’s your fault for spoiling that brat. If we had handed him over to my father, he would be obedient like his elder brother by now."

Madam Hu rolled her eyes at her husband’s words and asked, "Aren’t you satisfied after turning one of our sons into a workaholic robot? And now you want to target my second son too? Old Hu, are you looking for a beating?"

Noticing her darkened expression, Master Hu quickly stood up. "Ah, I forgot I still need to trim the tree!"

Before Madam Hu could catch him, he bolted out of the room.

Seeing this, Madam Hu rolled her eyes at his back.

After thinking for a moment, she said to the steward standing on the side, "Uncle, help me investigate the Bai Group. I want to know what is so special about this small company that made Chaoyang want to work for them."

Hearing this, the steward bowed slightly and responded, "Yes, Madam."

Picking up her phone, Madam Hu posted on her WeChat Moments with a smile on her red lips.

[My cute second son is back! Sisters, make sure to come to the welcome banquet later~]

As soon as she published the post, countless people liked and commented on it. Smiling in satisfaction, Madam Hu continued watching her variety show.

Meanwhile, in the director’s office of the Bai Group, Bai Yansheng was furious.

Sweeping everything off his large desk with one hand, he roared, "Argh! Damn it! How dare they fire me?!"

Crash! Crash!

As documents scattered across the floor and a ceramic cup shattered, Bai Yansheng stood there huffing and panting in rage.

Clenching his fists tightly, he muttered, "No. I can’t just sit back and let them kick me out without doing anything."

Pacing back and forth in his office, he said to himself, "Is there really nothing I can do now? No, there must be something. Think. I need to think calmly."

After a long moment, Bai Yansheng suddenly froze in his tracks, and his eyes lit up.

"That’s right! I still have Li Li. If she can get CEO Gui, then I can take back the Bai Group with his help."

Finding a solution to his predicament, Bai Yansheng regained his composure and called Bai Li.

When the call connected, his daughter’s sweet voice came through the speaker. "Father? Why are you calling me?"

Bai Yansheng’s expression softened when he heard Bai Li’s voice. As a smile bloomed on his face, he gently asked, "Li Li, do you still want to become CEO Gui’s wife?"

The moment she heard the question, Bai Li sat up straight on her bed. With her heart beating fast, she asked in anticipation, "Father, did you find a way?"

Bai Yansheng’s lips curved up as he asked, "Li Li, do you remember the thing Father gave you before, the one meant for dealing with the Xu family’s young master?"

Hearing this, Bai Li’s eyes widened in realization. Her lips trembled slightly when she asked, "Father, do you mean—?"

Before she could finish her words, Bai Yansheng interrupted her and said, "Father will arrange everything. You just need to give that thing to CEO Gui and do the deed."

Blushing when she heard her father’s words, Bai Li shyly replied, "Yes, Father. I will do as you say."

Satisfied with her obedience, Bai Yansheng added, "Father will let you know the location once I have the details."

Imagining a future filled with wealth and splendor, Bai Li’s eyes gleamed with vanity and greed. She nodded and said, "Alright."

After ending the call, Bai Yansheng dialed another number.

A few seconds later, a cold voice answered, "What is your request?"

"I want the location and itinerary of Gui Xiaoxu in the next few days," Bai Yansheng said calmly.

The man paused for a moment before replying, "That won’t be cheap."

Having dealt with Bu Gui Pavilion before, Bai Yansheng knew their services were expensive. However, their intel network was the best. If he wanted to trap Gui Xiaoxu, he’d have to pay the price.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Money is not a problem. How much for this information?"

The man calmly replied, "Three hundred million."

Hearing the price, Bai Yansheng almost fell from shock. "What?! Three hundred million?! I only want his itinerary!"

The man ignored his outburst and added, "Send the money within five minutes, or the deal is off."

Without waiting for a response, the man ended the call.

Clenching his phone tightly, Bai Yansheng cursed, "Damn it!"

He threw away more objects in a fit of rage before forcing himself to calm down. Seeing there were only three minutes left, he gritted his teeth and transferred 300 million to the encrypted bank account.

The second the transaction was successful, a man seated in a spacious room tapped his communication device.

Two seconds later, he said, "Brother Hei Long, someone just bought the Pavilion Master’s itinerary. He already paid 300 million yuan. Should I give him the real one or a fake one?"

Hearing this, Ke Ting turned to Gui Xiaoxu and said, "Boss, someone bought your itinerary for 300 million. Should we give him a fake one?"

Still focused on his laptop, Gui Xiaoxu asked, "Who is it?"

Ke Ting lowered his voice and asked over the comms, "Who is requesting the information?"

The man quickly checked the phone number and replied, "It’s Bai Yansheng."
