Chapter 1760: Chapter 1410: Want to Hear My Advice? Berman spoke firmly, driving Bai Xiaosheng away. By rights, he should feel quite pleased. However, at this moment, there wasn’t a trace of satisfaction in his heart, but rather a vague, inexplicable irritation. All because Bai Xiaosheng’s reaction was simply too strange. Bai Xiaosheng’s harsh words were just like going through the motions, as if he said his piece and then left? Berman felt something was off, like something was missing. He was almost certain that after leaving, Bai Xiaosheng would definitely not take this lying down and just wait around for their investigation into him. Berman knew that Bai Xiaosheng would take action next, but he couldn’t guess what it would be, nor could he understand why Bai Xiaosheng left so swiftly, and this left him feeling unsettled. Besides, he couldn’t talk to Henry or Gian about this; if he did, he would reveal a less confident side of himself. So on the surface, Berman still wore a nonchalant expression. “This Huaxia guy Bai is really arrogant, daring to threaten us here!” Henry approached Berman, sneering. While speaking, Henry turned his face to look out the door, giving a mocking look even though from this angle, Bai Xiaosheng’s figure was completely out of sight. Gian also came over, chiming in, “Threatening the two of us in front of Mr. Berman, how audacious! He probably underestimated Mr. Berman’s connections and wealth, not knowing what respect really means!” Berman didn’t respond as they spoke, seeming distracted, which left them both stunned. They exchanged glances. Based on what they knew about Mr. Berman, when facing someone they could easily crush who didn’t know their place, he would certainly laugh at them. But today, in response to that strangely speaking Huaxia kid who left abruptly, Mr. Berman’s reaction… Henry and Gian communicated silently with their eyes, astonished. Mr. Berman had said that the person caused quite a scene in his manor and even assaulted his esteemed guest? At the time, Mr. Berman was also in the manor, so why didn’t he come forward to apprehend that guy named Bai? Later, why didn’t Mr. Berman report it to the police immediately to handle this matter? These incidents, both had heard of, were already full of curiosity. The rightful source is NoveI[F]ire.net Having encountered that guy named Bai and threatened by him, they at least knew that the young Huaxia man was incredibly wealthy! This made things a bit tricky! In this world, as long as you’re willing to spend money, many things can be done, including causing them significant trouble! So, after communicating with their eyes, Henry and Gian simultaneously looked at Berman. “Mr. Berman, we’ve always been on your side; you must help us fend off any adverse influences!” Henry said. “Exactly, especially concerning this matter, we really have left incriminating evidence in people’s hands!” Gian chimed in. Only then did Berman come to his senses, understanding their concerns. He knew they might be worried about their positions and hurried to reassure them. However, once worry arises, it’s not that easy to dispel with just a few words… Meanwhile, Bai Xiaosheng, accompanied by Grace, was walking through a corridor, not slowing his pace. Grace followed closely, her eyes fixed on his back. Having been rescued by Bai Xiaosheng before, Grace held immense trust towards him, believing he could deliver on his word and bring back Lai Yin today. Even later on, when Henry and Gian, heads of the Pharmaceuticals Administration and the City Safety Department respectively, showed up, and even Berman arrived, she still believed Bai Xiaosheng could handle it. However, the outcome was harsh—Bai Xiaosheng was seemingly “defeated” this time. Truth be told, at that moment, Grace’s heart sank. But before she could feel disappointed, Bai Xiaosheng told her they were now going to implement “Plan B.” Grace was truly taken aback, slowing her pace. Seeing Bai Xiaosheng walking further away, she hurried to catch up and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Do we really have a Plan B?!” In fact, she didn’t even know what “Plan A” was… “Yes, we do.” Bai Xiaosheng glanced back towards where they had come from, then looked at Grace with a mysterious smile, “I originally didn’t want to use excessive means, but they wouldn’t listen! So, they can’t blame me!” Bai Xiaosheng’s words left Grace dumbfounded, increasingly feeling like she couldn’t understand him. “Anyway, don’t ask too much for now, just follow me.” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile. Since Bai Xiaosheng told her not to ask, Grace really didn’t, even though she was somewhat impatient by nature. Grace followed Bai Xiaosheng out of the municipal office building, crossed the street, and walked along the road for a while. Curious, she observed Bai Xiaosheng’s steady pace, as if he was quite familiar with the area. Where was he taking her? In Bai Xiaosheng’s mind, with Red Lotus, searching maps and landmarks was as easy as pie, and the destination wasn’t far. “Here we are, follow me.” Bai Xiaosheng led Grace to a stern and imposing building in appearance; they entered without hesitation. Grace looked up in astonishment at the building, surprisingly, “Isn’t this… the municipal building?” The place where the mayor’s office is! What was Bai Xiaosheng doing bringing her here? Could he really be planning to appeal to the mayor? That’s not going to work! Moreover, without an appointment, they’re likely to never even see the mayor of Haru City. Grace saw Bai Xiaosheng already entering and hastily followed, whispering urgently, “Hey, wait up!” Catching up to Bai Xiaosheng, Grace quietly voiced her worries.
