Chapter 2083 Even if it's directed at me, I'll still do it.

"Chairman Pi, I'm so sorry... about my dad, and my older brother..."

Sweat beaded on Bai Kaixuan's temples as he stammered, unsure how to explain.

Pi Yangyang said nonchalantly, "You don't need to feel guilty, this has nothing to do with you. How about we find a place to sit down?"

Bai Kaixuan immediately nodded and said, "There's a teahouse outside the village, shall we go there?"

Pi Yangyang said nonchalantly, "You can arrange it."

Bai Kaixuan immediately got into the car and drove out of the village with Pi Yangyang and the other two.

Just as they left the Bai family courtyard, Bai Kaixin and three others also came out.

"Big brother, it seems that second brother has indeed reached some kind of agreement with this guy surnamed Pi." Bai Kaijin said in a low voice as he watched the car drive away.

Bai Kaishan said, "From what I understand, Huading Building Materials has already signed a supply contract with Yan's Group and has begun supplying materials to Yan's Group's TCM hospital construction site. It's certain that they have reached a deal."

A cold glint flashed in Bai Kaixin's eyes as he nodded and said, "No wonder, no matter what we say, he always jumps out to object! It seems that the man surnamed Pi may have really given him some promise, or even some benefits."

Bai Kaijin said, "He doesn't even realize that although our father values ​​Bai Kaixuan because of our fourth uncle, Bai Kaixuan has been unable to arrange for our father to meet with our fourth uncle for the Xingyi Industrial Park project. Now our father has seen clearly that Bai Kaixuan is unreliable and will no longer give him a good face."

Bai Kaixin and Bai Kaishan nodded in unison, deeply agreeing.

But Bai Kaiyi said, "Eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, and second brother are also doing this for the Bai family. This industrial park project can be said to be our Bai family's only opportunity. If we don't make good use of it, we will never encounter such a good thing again."

Bai Kaishan sneered, "Fifth brother, how much did the second brother give you to make you protect him at every turn? He did it for the Bai family, but aren't we doing the same? Everyone knows this is a rare opportunity, and of course we want to fight for more benefits for everyone."

Bai Kaiyi thought for a moment and said, "But I always feel that the Bai Group seems to have some ulterior motive. They are never sincere."

Bai Kaixin said in a deep voice, "If they're not sincere, then who is? They've agreed to all our conditions, and they're even willing to rent the back mountain for three times the compensation price. Where can you find such a good deal?"

"This is strange. That piece of land doesn't seem that important, does it? Why are they acting like they absolutely have to take it?"

Bai Kaiyi frowned and said.

"Who cares about him? As long as the money is there, we don't need to worry about anything else. Anyway, that place used to be the ancestral burial ground of the Bai and Wu families. The fact that it can be sold for such a price is a blessing from our ancestors."

Bai Kaijin waved his hand dismissively, appearing completely indifferent.

"Fifth Brother, what are you doubting? Do you still suspect there's some treasure buried down there?"

Bai Kaishan scoffed.

Bai Kaiyi was speechless.

Both he and Bai Kaixuan suspected that there might be some unknown secret about that land. They even went to the back mountain to investigate many times, trying to find out some clues.

But in the end nothing was found.

There's no way there could be any treasure. When the graves were relocated, the entire mountain was basically dug up. If there really was treasure, it would have been discovered long ago.

Hearing his brothers' sarcastic remarks, he didn't continue speaking and drove away alone.

…………

On the way back to the capital, Bai Yuanji said indignantly, "Dad, how did that kid know Shaoqing had psychological problems? I think he tampered with the medicine he gave Shaoqing!"

Bai Zheteng said, "Without any evidence, even if we suspect him, how could he possibly admit it? Several experts, and that master of traditional Chinese medicine from Japan, all say that Shaoqing became like this because he was provoked, but no one can give a conclusive answer. Even if he really did do it, what can we do without evidence?"

"That brat is despicable! He's ruined my Bai family like this, and he still dares to swagger around in front of us, making sarcastic remarks. I... I really want to slap him twice."

Bai Yuanji was clearly indignant and said angrily.

"Bear with it! Now is the time for the Bai family to have their chance." A glimmer of hope flashed in Bai Zheteng's eyes. "As long as we cooperate with Chairman Xia to secure the industrial park project, the Bai family will rise again, and may even rise higher than before. Only then can we, based on our strength and position, have a proper talk with him."

Bai Yuanji also said with anticipation, "That makes sense. By then, our Bai family will be able to dominate the capital. Even the Zhao family could be surpassed by us! As long as we get the final antidote for Shaoqing, we can have a negotiation with him on equal footing."

"That's the right way to think..."

Bai Zheteng nodded, leaned back, and prepared to close his eyes and rest.

But then Bai Yuanji suddenly remembered something and turned to ask in a deep voice, "Dad, what exactly is this General Manager Liao? Why is he so interested in the back mountain of the Bai and Wu families?"

Bai Zheteng opened his eyes again after closing them, and after a moment of silence, he said, "We don't need to know his identity. We just need to know that he works for Chairman Xia."

“But…” Bai Yuanji said with some suspicion, “I always feel that Liao Sen has a strange aura about him, and he doesn’t seem like a typical Chinese person…”

Bai Zheteng was suddenly taken aback and asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"It's not just him, but also several people around him, including Chairman Xia and Miss Xiao, they all give off a strange feeling."

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Zheteng's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "You mean... they are not Chinese?"

Baek Won-ki nodded and said, "Yes, I think they look a lot like Japanese people."

Bai Zheteng wasn't too surprised, but asked somewhat nervously, "Have you mentioned this suspicion to anyone else?"

Bai Yuanji shook his head, "No, I only have a suspicion in my mind, I have no evidence."

Bai Zheteng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

Bai Yuanji was suddenly startled, turned to look at Bai Zheteng, and asked with a look of astonishment, "Dad, did you already see it?"

Bai Zheteng sneered, "Although your father is old, I'm not senile! How could I not see that? If they weren't not Chinese, how could they have come to our Bai family and put such a big piece of cake in front of us?"

Bai Yuanji said in surprise, "But Dad, this project is under close scrutiny. Foreign investment is not allowed, let alone foreigners bidding on it... If the higher-ups find out, we'll not only lose everything, but we might also be implicated..."

"What are you afraid of?" Bai Zheteng interrupted him before he could finish, saying in a deep voice, "Our Bai Group is bidding now, we are the ones in control! Even if the higher-ups find out, so what? Can't we transfer funds from overseas? Besides, we've already smoothed things over with Miss Liu, what could possibly go wrong?"

Bai Yuanji was speechless, but still said with some worry, "What you said is right, but I feel they are Japanese! If my suspicion is true, this matter will be complicated! That is a key industrial park that the higher-ups are paying close attention to. If we let the Japanese take control of it, then we... will be guilty!"

"Guilty?" Bai Zheteng sneered. "Whether we're guilty or not, money decides! As long as we secure this project and make money, why would we be afraid of not being able to clear our names? Besides, if we don't cooperate with Chairman Xia and his group this time, will our Bai family still have a chance to rise again?"

Baek Won-ki remained silent.

He knew very well that Bai Zheteng desperately wanted the Bai family to rise again.

In fact, wasn't he the same?

He hadn't had enough of the Bai family's glory days.

This experience of falling from the clouds to the dust was extremely painful for him.

Now that we have this opportunity, if we don't seize it, who will give us another chance in the future?

He was just worried, after all, they were Japanese.

He always felt like he was betraying his country if he helped the J-country people win the project.

"Don't overthink it. Even if problems arise later, I'll take full responsibility!" Bai Zheteng saw the conflict in his heart and said in a deep voice, "As long as the Bai family has a chance to rise again, I'm willing to be condemned by everyone!"

These words left Baek Won-ki completely silent.
