Chapter 2077: Tail Revealed

A slight smile unconsciously curved the corners of Pi Yangyang's mouth.

"Chairman, you don't mean for me to go to my fourth uncle about the bidding process..."

Bai Kaixuan voiced his suspicions, but he dared not say them outright.

Pi Yangyang said calmly, "Can you persuade him to meet with me?"

Bai Kaixuan looked troubled. "This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. He's one of the people in charge of the Xingyi Industrial Park project, and he definitely needs to avoid suspicion at this time."

Pi Yangyang chuckled softly and said easily, "It's alright, don't be embarrassed. I was just saying it casually. He has his principles, and I can't force him to violate them because of this project, can I?"

Bai Kaixuan breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding, Chairman. However, I will try my best, but whether it will be successful is hard to say."

"If it's okay, then it's okay; if it's not, then don't force it," Pi Yangyang said.

Bai Kaixuan said with a wry smile, "To be honest, a few days ago, my eldest brother Bai Kaixin, along with my two brothers Bai Kaishan and Bai Kaijin, went to see him, but were turned away..."

"Oh, he didn't even see Bai Kaixin?" Pi Yangyang asked, somewhat surprised.

"Bai Kaixin and his group went to deliver gifts, but not only did Fourth Uncle refuse to see them, he also had Fourth Aunt kick them out..."

Bai Kaixuan replied.

Pi Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, it seems your fourth uncle is indeed a man of principle. Let's not make things difficult for him."

After a brief silence, he said meaningfully, "During this period, I'm sure quite a few companies have come to your village to discuss demolition and relocation. If you want to get a piece of the pie from this project, you know what to do, right?"

Bai Kaixuan's eyes flickered, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded, saying, "I understand."

Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, said nothing more, and asked the waiter to prepare the dishes.

He believed that Bai Kaixuan was a smart man who knew what he should do.

Bai Kaixuan ate the meal with a heavy heart.

He always felt that Pi Yangyang had come to him, but he couldn't help her at all, and he felt extremely guilty.

Moreover, whether the Yan Group can secure the Xingyi Industrial Park project is also related to whether Bai Kaixuan can make money in the future.

If he can help, he will certainly do so without hesitation.

He knew his fourth uncle very well.

Although he and Bai Xiaopeng could talk, Bai Xiaopeng would always refuse when it came to matters of principle.

Back then, Huading Building Materials approached Bai Xiaopeng, hoping to use his connections to reach several infrastructure companies and establish long-term cooperative relationships.

However, Bai Xiaopeng immediately refused, saying that he could not make an exception, because once that was done, his job would be difficult in the future.

Bai Kaixuan felt that his fourth uncle was too eager to improve himself, and he couldn't force Bai Xiaopeng to follow suit, so he didn't force him.

This matter had been weighing on his mind, and he felt uncomfortable every time he thought about it.

Otherwise, how could Huading have reached such a precarious situation?

But when it came to the demolition issue, Pi Yangyang knew exactly what to do.

To align ourselves with the Yan family, we must deter those companies and clear the way for the Yan Group.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Bai Kaixuan asked Kang Dezhu if he was willing to stay in the capital and stay by Pi Yangyang's side.

Kang Dezhu immediately agreed with delight.

At Huading, although he was the security captain, everyone treated him like a fool.

Even his brother-in-law looked down on him and often spoke coldly to him.

If it weren't for his sister Kang Jie protecting him, he would have been kicked out of Huading long ago.

Since meeting Tie Niu, the two felt like they had known each other for a long time and wished they could spend every day together exchanging martial arts techniques.

Upon hearing that he could stay, he immediately agreed with great joy.

Bai Kaixuan pulled out a wad of old banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Kang Dezhu, saying, "This is all I have on me. Take this and buy yourself some clothes. From now on, when you're with Chairman Pi, be obedient and don't cause him any trouble. I'll have your brother-in-law bring you your personal belongings..."

Kang Dezhu took the old man's head and nodded excitedly, "I know... I will definitely listen to him."

"Alright then, I'll head back now."

Bai Kaixuan breathed a sigh of relief and bid farewell to Pi Yangyang.

After Bai Kaixuan left, Pi Yangyang stood there for two or three minutes before returning to Yan's Group with Tie Niu and Kang Dezhu.

"Zhu Zi, from now on you'll be my bodyguard, just like Tie Niu. Is that alright?"

Upon reaching the car, Pi Yangyang asked.

Kang Dezhu nodded immediately, "No problem."

He then opened the car door and said, "I can also be the driver."

Pi Yangyang was taken aback and asked hesitantly, "You can drive?"

Kang Dezhu said, "Yes, I drove here just now. My brother-in-law goes out on errands, and I drive him there too."

Pi Yangyang smiled, handed him the car keys, and then climbed into the back seat.

Tie Niu happily sat in the passenger seat, watching Kang Dezhu skillfully start the car, and said enviously, "Big guy, you can drive... that's amazing."

“I can teach you…” Kang Dezhu said without hesitation.

Tie Niu immediately deflated, saying somewhat dejectedly, "My brother said I'm not eighteen yet, so I can't take the exam..."

Kang Dezhu seemed a little disappointed and let out an "Ah," but then he grinned and said, "It's okay, I'll teach you when you're eighteen."

Seeing how familiar the two were, Pi Yangyang couldn't help but smile with relief.

"Zhu Zi, who taught you kung fu?"

He thought for a moment and asked.

“There’s an old master craftsman in my village, he’s incredibly skilled, he can break a tombstone with one hand,” Kang Dezhu said. “Unfortunately, I’m too clumsy, I can’t learn many of his moves…”

"You're really amazing. You managed to withstand so many people hitting you that day."

Tie Niu said with a look of admiration.

“Hehe, I can take a beating,” Kang Dezhu said. “Those guys haven’t eaten, so hitting me is just tickling me.”

"Impressive!" Tie Niu exclaimed in genuine admiration.

Pi Yangyang didn't ask any more questions. Kang Dezhu's physique was extraordinary. If he refined a few more Body Tempering Pills for him, Kang Dezhu would have an indestructible body in the future.

This person will definitely be of great use in the final battle against the Black Temple.

Last time in Africa, although he found the Black Temple's desert base, he was not in a hurry to take revenge.

Su Xueqing is pregnant, and he doesn't want her to worry.

Revenge can only be postponed until she gives birth to Little Pipi before she can confidently engage in the final battle against the Black Temple.

Just as he was lost in thought, Wei Hongyi called.

"Ninth Master, I've found some information that might be useful."

The call connected, and Wei Hongyi's slightly excited voice came through.

Pi Yangyang's spirits lifted, and he quickly asked, "What information?"

"The Bai Xiaopeng you asked me to pay attention to is not as simple as he seems."

Wei Hongyi replied.

Pi Yangyang's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his lips.

As expected, everything Bai Xiaopeng showed was just a facade.

He never believed that Bai Xiaopeng was as incorruptible as Bai Kaixuan claimed.

What era are we living in now? Even if Bai Xiaopeng is truly honest and upright, he shouldn't still be living in an old, dilapidated apartment of just over 60 square meters.

When you go too far with something, you'll inevitably expose your wrongdoing.

"Tell me, what did you find?" he asked excitedly.

"We found out that he has a mistress who handles his shady dealings..."

Wei Hongyi's voice was very low.

"There's a pair of hands outside?" Pi Yangyang repeated, then immediately understood.

Wei Hongyi said, "Yes, this person is called Liu Chang'e. Her official identity is the chairman of Beijing Yuehui Investment Consulting Company. In reality, she is Bai Xiaopeng's mistress and has been helping Bai Xiaopeng handle some clandestine matters."

Pi Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously said, "Just as I thought."

"The chairman had already thought of this?" Wei Hongyi was taken aback.

Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, "I was just guessing, I didn't expect to be right."

“This Bai Xiaopeng is very well hidden. We’ve been following him for several days, and he only goes between three places every day. He never goes out,” Wei Hongyi explained.

Pi Yangyang asked curiously, "Then how did you discover Liu Chang'e?"

“Just last night, Bai Xiaopeng went to Langfa and checked into the Hilton Hotel. Then our people discovered that a little over an hour later, Liu Chang'e also appeared at the hotel and went into his room.”

Wei Hongyi replied.

"However, Bai Xiaopeng left the hotel around 11 o'clock and returned to his home in Beijing. Liu Chang'e only left this morning."

Pi Yangyang couldn't help but smile slightly again, "Even the most cunning fox will eventually show its tail. So, you all keep an eye on Liu Chang'e and see who she's been frequently in contact with lately."

"Yes, Chairman." Wei Hongyi replied.

After hanging up the phone, Pi Yangyang looked out the car window, smiled coldly, and muttered to himself, "Integrity?"
