Chapter 951: Then You Make the Call
Chapter 951: Then You Make the Call
Bai Wanli had already noticed the eight beautiful women across from him by the time he arrived—he’d been sizing them up. He knew one thing for sure: such super beauties don’t just appear out of nowhere. If they did, they would undoubtedly have bodyguards with them. Yet, there was only a thin old man by their side. There could only be two reasons for this: either the thin old man was a master in his own right, or these women were capable of protecting themselves. Otherwise, women of their caliber wouldn’t be showing their faces so freely.
Bai Wanli had carefully scrutinized each of the women in his mind, yet he couldn’t match any of them with the famous beauties from Tianhai. This only deepened his suspicions about their origins. He knew that women of such caliber were not ordinary—they were beyond the reach of common households. Not to mention, the astronomical costs of simple beauty maintenance, let alone the fact that these women were so intimately close to each other, suggesting they were together. The power behind them must be unimaginable.
At this point, Bai Wanli finally understood what was going on. Judging by his son’s usual behavior, his son must have seen these beautiful women and lust got the better of him. He wanted to do something with them, which angered them, and in turn, they acquired Bailong Real Estate. It had to be the case.
Glancing at the dozens of people lying on the ground, even a fool would understand that they had been dealt with by the people opposite. The strength displayed was astonishing. Although he couldn’t tell if it was the work of the old man or the women, this detail was irrelevant. What mattered was the outcome—that the people before him were not someone they could afford to provoke, they were completely out of their league.
Bai Wanli was even more speechless about his son in his heart. He really wanted to strangle that no-good son of his. He couldn’t understand what kind of nonsense his son had in his head—not knowing who he could afford to offend and who he couldn’t. And now he had kicked the iron plate, dragging the entire Bai Family into the mess. Now that Bailong Real Estate had been acquired by these women, if he did not show sincerity and negotiate properly today, the Bai Family might as well be finished!
As Bai Wanli apologized, he was also thinking about how to broach the subject of Bai Long Real Estate with the other party. He truly did not want to lose Bailong Real Estate, the business he had painstakingly built up over more than a decade. If Bailong Real Estate was gone, he would not even have a home to live in, everything would be taken by the banks to settle debts. He’d probably end up down and out, homeless in the streets. So now, he was putting on a very humble front; he did not want to lose everything he currently had.
"Is this your son? Well, since you’re here, I’m too lazy to do it myself. Should I break his left leg or his right leg? You decide," Qian Duoduo said coldly. Although Bai Wanli had arrived with a very humble attitude, it was far from enough. Bai Daqi had openly harassed them, an offense they could not tolerate. Now Qian Duoduo was leaving the choice to Bai Wanli. For a scumbag like Bai Daqi, she truly didn’t feel like lifting a finger.
"How could you possibly forgive him? Do you know what your son just said?"
"Given what he has just said, there’s no way we can forgive him today."
"He is despicable, who knows how many girls he has ruined on a normal day."
"This is only today because he encountered us. If it were any other girl, it certainly wouldn’t end like this."
...
The women were listening to Bai Wanli plead for Bai Daqi and immediately expressed their unwillingness. From their perspective, Bai Daqi, who had likely taken advantage of his bodyguards to harass countless girls, was completely transparent to them. How could they be expected to forgive Bai Daqi so easily? That was simply out of the question.
Zhu Tao glanced over at Bai Wanli and the others, assessing them. He didn’t spot anything particularly dangerous—just an AA-grade expert. Zhu Tao didn’t bother to pay much mind, continuing to stand by without moving.
"Ladies, my son did do wrong, but that doesn’t mean his legs need to be broken. I’ve already apologized to you all. Can we let bygones be bygones? There’s no need to make things too stiff. If it does come to that, it’s no good for anyone. Plus, I have one more request, I hope you would be generous enough to drop the acquisition of Bailong Real Estate. I, Bai Wanli, am not alone. I also know billionaires. If we insist on going on, none of us will end up with a good outcome."
As Bai Wanli heard the women across from him speak like this, his face immediately darkened. He was also a bit embarrassed; after some thought, he still suppressed his anger, and spoke slowly. He hadn’t expected these women to say such things, insisting on breaking his son’s legs—how could he accept this? No matter what, his son’s legs had to remain intact.
Thinking this, Bai Wanli pushed down his anger and continued to speak, but there was something else in his words. He wanted these women to know that he, Bai Wanli, was not someone easily provoked. Although he wasn’t a match for the people across from him, even a clay Buddha has fire when provoked. If things did come to a head, then all would be broken and destroyed—that would be just fine. Anyway, things were already as bad as they could be; nothing else mattered. There was nothing to lose in the current situation.
"Senior Sister, he says he knows a trillionaire, you decide what to do," Qian Duoduo burst into laughter upon hearing Bai Wanli’s words. She really hadn’t seen it coming; Bai Wanli was such a character! Bailong Real Estate was snapped up in an instant, and he still didn’t know who he was dealing with. Now he was actually flaunting a trillionaire connection. Wasn’t this a joke? Waving around a trillionaire in front of Senior Sister was like showing off a sword in front of Master Guan; was there any tycoon who didn’t fear her?
With that thought, Qian Duoduo gave Chu Meng a meaningful glance, implying quite simply that it was time for Senior Sister to step in and let this Bai Daqi understand that his so-called trillionaire was nothing compared to her.
The girls, hearing this, all covered their mouths, snickering quietly amongst themselves. They looked at Bai Wanli as if he were a clown. Senior Sister’s fame was well-known throughout the world; which tycoon wasn’t afraid of her? Even Lin Jie, Ye Xiaoyu, and Mao Rongrong, who usually stayed within the campus, knew what kind of figure Senior Sister was in the world financial circle. And yet, here Bai Wanli was, pulling out such a backer... It was just too funny...
"Sister Leng, this guy is truly something else."
"Mhm, he’s not much better than his son."
"To talk about a trillionaire in front of Senior Sister Chu Meng, I really don’t know what he’s thinking."
"What do you think will happen later?"
"No need to ask, it’s bound to be spectacular."
"Will Bai Wanli be scared stiff?"
...
They whispered among themselves, occasionally glancing at Bai Wanli, trying to figure out just why he would concoct such a plan. To mention a trillionaire in front of Senior Sister, it seemed he was deliberately seeking discomfort. If Bai Wanli knew Senior Sister’s true identity, would he still be standing there so confidently...
"The trillionaire you mentioned, who is it?" Naturally, Chu Meng had seen Qian Duoduo’s signal and understood what she meant. She also found the situation amusing, thinking that Bai Wanli was really something to boast about a trillionaire backer in front of her. It left Chu Meng at a loss for words. She wouldn’t have bothered with Bai Wanli, but hearing his claim, Chu Meng grew curious about who this trillionaire was, so she casually asked, devoid of any emotional undertone.
"He is Yuegang’s trillionaire, Wang Pu. We have a very good relationship. It’s better to discuss matters amicably," Bai Wanli, hearing Chu Meng say this, felt a sense of relief. He thought it was fortunate he had brought up Wang Pu. Now he had something to leverage in negotiations. Maybe with Wang Pu intervening, he might persuade the woman in front of him to give up acquiring Bailong Real Estate. That would be more than ideal.
"Well, why don’t you go ahead and call him, see if he can help you out," Chu Meng replied, upon hearing the name Wang Pu, she was quite reassured. As long as it wasn’t Shen Yao’s father, Shen Tian, she was unconcerned. Other than that, no trillionaire was of any significance to Chu Meng; they were just a bit more trouble, nothing too serious.
Bai Wanli looked at Chu Meng a second longer upon hearing her response. He couldn’t help but speculate further about who this beautiful woman might be. How could she be unmoved by the mention of Wang Pu? It was impossible; no matter how powerful the woman, she couldn’t possibly stand up to Wang Pu. She must be bluffing to intimidate him. Impossible!
At this idea, without the slightest hesitation, Bai Wanli dialed Wang Pu’s number, hoping to call upon Wang Pu to resolve the situation. A few years back, he had by chance saved Wang Pu’s son, and now it was the perfect time for Wang Pu to return the favor.
"Brother Wang, this is Bai Wanli. I’ve got a bit of a situation here. I hope you can help me out. My Bailong Real Estate has been acquired..." Bai Wanli made the call and, wanting Chu Meng to hear clearly, deliberately switched the phone to speaker. After greeting, he explained the acquisition of Bailong Real Estate, hoping Wang Pu would step in and save the company. If Bailong Real Estate was saved, he’d have the capital to deal with the women in front of him.
