Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!

Chapter 623 - 14: Little Sister-in-Law (14)

"Don’t worry, darling, I will investigate thoroughly."

"Si Yang, I’m thinking, why not turn their trick against them? Make them believe you’ve fallen for it? Then we can draw out the people behind this? Otherwise, if you show no signs, they might become alert, and things could turn ugly in the future."

Bai Siyang thought for a moment and understood his wife’s intentions.

"Alright, let’s go with your plan."

Bai Siyang ordered a thorough investigation, including the phone number that sent him the messages, as well as monitoring the home and company.

If they truly can track his wife’s movements, that would be terrifying.

Bai Siyang quickly laid out his plans, sending texts to the opposite party, indicating willingness to hand over the project, in exchange for video destruction.

Hu Angran received the message and smiled, satisfied.

However, he still planned to arrange another meeting with Li Shuning; only by truly capturing her would he feel secure.

Of course, he had a backup plan.

Even if he failed to win over Li Shuning, if she traced it back to him and tried to hold him accountable, he wouldn’t be left helpless.

He secretly used a pinhole camera to capture the meeting with that woman, placing it on a button on his clothes, where it remained unnoticed unless carefully inspected.

If the story about the sister-in-law scheming against the wife was leaked, it would certainly be scandalous, wouldn’t it?

He didn’t believe the Li Family would take it lying down.

Thus, he wasn’t worried about being discovered in his pursuit of the project.

Of course, it was best if they didn’t find out, considering the recent intense competition for that particular project.

The Bai Group was full of talent, and their proposal was bound to be excellent, greatly increasing his chances to win the project.

Yet he wasn’t completely confident in securing the project, so there was no need to act prematurely.

Bai Xiaojun went back to the main company several times in the past few days, eager to learn details about this project.

Although the other party claimed they received a message saying her brother had abandoned the project, Bai Xiaojun inexplicably felt unhappy, wondering if her brother sacrificed the company’s interests for an already tainted woman.

Though Bai Xiaojun originally intended for Bai Siyang to act this way, when Bai Siyang actually did it, she felt upset.

In Bai Xiaojun’s plan, her brother would lose both the person and the project due to his wife’s betrayal, thus sparking hatred in his heart.

At the main company, Bai Xiaojun noticed the project’s team members looked somewhat disheartened, and discreetly asked around, learning that indeed, her brother had abandoned the project.

It turned out that everyone knew he was preparing to disband the crucial project team, hence their dejected expressions.

Bai Xiaojun stealthily came and stealthily left.

Though she felt unhappy, she wouldn’t sabotage her plan.

It’s only one project, isn’t it? It doesn’t mean much to the Bai Family.

As long as she could drive Li Shuning out of the Bai Family, she was willing to do anything.

Bai Xiaojun believed she could sneak in and out without her brother noticing, and even if he did, it shouldn’t matter, as she hadn’t done anything wrong, right?

However, Bai Siyang, who had been keeping an eye on the news at home and at the company, heard from his people that Bai Xiaojun had visited the project team.

Like a bolt of lightning splitting the darkness of night.

Some thoughts inexplicably flashed through Bai Siyang’s mind.

Could it really be like that?

Yet after so many coincidences, he couldn’t believe they were just coincidences.

Damn it, what exactly was the reason? Why would she do this?

Bai Siyang felt a pang of pain in his heart; this sister, although not biologically related, had grown up under his care, always cherished as if she were truly his sister. So, why did she do these things?

Starting with making things difficult for his wife, then deliberately framing her, followed by taking misleading photos, deceiving his wife, speaking about his past to anger her, leading to her twice leaving home.

Those two instances coincidentally happened when Hu Angran invited his wife for meals.

He couldn’t believe his sister was innocent.

The sender of the photos might indeed be Hu Angran.

He had already investigated, and the phone number wasn’t registered officially.

So, it wasn’t certain it was Hu Angran.

But no matter, a few days would tell who it was.

He had carefully prepared bait; if the person didn’t take it, his efforts would be wasted.

A week later, the project finally officially opened and began searching for a cooperative company.

Each company arrived with their respective proposals.

Bai Siyang attended as well.

Earlier, Bai Siyang had emailed the party with his meticulously prepared proposal.

When Hu Angran saw Bai Siyang, he was a bit uneasy, confused—hadn’t Bai Siyang agreed not to participate? So why was he here?

Likewise, Bai Siyang spotted Hu Angran.

He merely gave a small smile; the real show was yet to come, especially if it truly was Hu Angran, hmph.

Inside the meeting room, after the proposals were submitted, the responsible person began reviewing them.

Of course, the person in charge couldn’t disclose the proposal content immediately, as that would amount to leaking company secrets.

However, a few days later, the project was finalized at Chenxi Company.

Which was Hu Angran’s company.

Hu Angran was overjoyed, and upon securing project funding, he began preparations.

At this point, he couldn’t be bothered with the other issue.

Naturally, completing the project required purchasing various materials.

The proposal outlined the related materials explicitly.

After Hu Angran went for procurement, Bai Siyang received the news.

Indeed, it was him.

When Hu Angran was set to showcase his abilities, he suddenly realized many materials listed in the proposal couldn’t be sourced.

What was going on?

He busied himself, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t acquire those materials.

This project was massive, with significant profits, or so many companies wouldn’t have competed over it.

The client company periodically checked the progress.

When verifying the progress, they found Chenxi Company hadn’t met the proposal’s deadline, which constituted a breach of contract.

This breach resulted in a substantial debt.

Hu Angran was overwhelmed with worry.

He had started from scratch, while Bai Siyang’s proposal was purposefully filled with pitfalls; the reason those materials were unavailable was Bai Siyang’s doing.

The proposal was realistic, but also extraordinarily appealing, and Bai Siyang wasn’t certain if it would be chosen.

However, once Hu Angran started procuring materials, Bai Siyang knew it was him.

His proposal was rather unique, and the materials were distinctive.

Once Hu Angran began procurement, Bai Siyang instantly knew it was him.

Naturally, he immediately initiated actions.
