Chapter 2084 Can We Lock Down This Person?
Lao You Tea House.
Bai Kaixuan sat opposite Pi Yangyang with an embarrassed and nervous expression. He held the teacup in his right hand, turning it around and around. He moved his mouth several times, but each time he hesitated to speak.
"Just say what you have to say, don't hold it in."
Pi Yangyang remained calm and composed, yet he could see the tension in Bai Kaixuan's heart.
"Chairman Pi, I'm sorry," Bai Kaixuan finally spoke, saying guiltily, "My father has recently been influenced by my older brother and a few others, and he's become very hostile towards you and the Yan Group, so..."
“I know.” Pi Yangyang picked up his teacup, took a gentle sniff, and said calmly.
"You know?" Bai Kaixuan was slightly taken aback.
Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, "It's not surprising that your brothers have been bribed."
"Yes, they were bribed by Bai Zheteng and his gang, and they've been speaking up for them the whole time. In this negotiation, they actually lowered their demands on their own initiative, completely disregarding the interests of the villagers."
Bai Kaixuan said somewhat indignantly.
"Oh, what conditions did they offer?" Pi Yangyang asked, seemingly quite interested.
Bai Kaixuan thought for a moment and said, "Originally, we agreed that the demolition compensation must be 1.5 times the market price, and it was also required to be allocated to 100 shops in the village, while also creating jobs for 500 to 1,000 people..."
"However, this time my older brother and his family offered to pay only 1.2 times the market price as compensation, and they didn't mention employment anymore... Later, I asked them to pay a deposit of 20 million yuan. I originally thought they wouldn't agree, but to my surprise, they agreed very readily."
Pi Yangyang said "Oh," and asked, "Bai Zheteng is so agreeable?"
“It’s not Bai Zheteng, it’s Liao Sen,” Bai Kaixuan said. “On the surface, it’s Bai Zheteng and his son talking to us, but the one who really makes the final decision is Liao Sen.”
Liao Sen's image flashed through Pi Yangyang's mind. He wasn't surprised by Bai Kaixuan's words and nodded, saying, "What other agreement did they reach?"
Bai Kaixuan thought for a moment, then said with a puzzled look, "There's something strange."
Pi Yangyang asked calmly, "What is it?"
Bai Kaixuan said, "It's that Liao Sen. He seems very interested in the back mountain of our Bai family and the Wu family. He and our eldest brother have gone to the back mountain to survey it many times. This time, he directly proposed that he not only want to rent the back mountain of our Bai family, but also the back mountain of the Wu family."
"What's even more incomprehensible is that he actually raised the deposit to 50 million on the condition that we help him take over the back mountain of Wu Village as well."
Pi Yangyang's eyes flickered, and he was also very puzzled.
He had long realized that Liao Sen and his group had been keeping an eye on the back mountains of Bai Village and Wu Village.
A few days ago, when he went to build the beast-suppressing tower for Wu Village, he carefully examined the entire mountain again, but still couldn't see anything special about it.
To say that place is very important is not really true.
On the industrial park planning map, considering the complexity of the two villages and the Chinese people's attachment to their ancestral graves, that area was not a mandatory choice.
Moreover, Guangda Metallurgy, a subsidiary of the Yan Group, is located on one side of these three mountains. He specifically went to Guangda Metallurgy to investigate, and found that none of the company's senior employees knew anything valuable about the back mountain.
It turns out that Guangda Metallurgy had a slag landfill on the back mountain of Wu Village. Later, the Wu family felt that the landfill affected the feng shui of their ancestral graves, so they terminated the contract and spent a lot of money to clean up the slag in the landfill.
For many years, no one knew what was so special about that back mountain.
"Did Bai Kaixin and the others agree?" Pi Yangyang asked, pulling himself out of his thoughts.
Bai Kaixuan nodded and said, "Fifty million, how could they possibly refuse?"
Pi Yangyang smiled slightly, "I'm afraid this money isn't so easy to earn."
“Yes, the people of Wu Village may not listen to them,” Bai Kaixuan said, deeply agreeing.
After thinking for a moment, he said hesitantly, "Chairman, I have another strange idea."
Pi Yangyang immediately perked up, "Go on, tell me."
“I always felt that Liao Sen and his group had very strange identities,” Bai Kaixuan said.
Pi Yangyang asked calmly, "What are you suspecting?"
“I always felt that they weren’t Chinese,” Bai Kaixuan said hesitantly. “I could always sense a cold and greedy aura about them, and even when they were negotiating with us, their eyes showed indifference.”
Pi Yangyang's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Then what country do you think they are from?"
"J country people!"
Bai Kaixuan said without hesitation.
Pi Yangyang chuckled softly and slowly drank a cup of tea.
Bai Kaixuan quickly applied medicine to his wound and asked, "Something's not right with me?"
Pi Yangyang frowned and said, "Your feeling is probably right. But if they really are Japanese, why would they be so interested in the mountains behind your two villages?"
In fact, he had long sensed that Liao Sen and the others were not ordinary people, and realized that they should be from Japan.
However, he really couldn't understand why they were so interested in the back mountain.
"Chairman, I will do everything in my power to stop them from making the deal." Bai Kaixuan thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Although I may not be able to do it, at least I will make sure they don't succeed so easily."
Pi Yangyang hummed in agreement and said calmly, "The truth will come out eventually, so you don't need to be too anxious."
After saying that, he stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Alright, that's enough for today."
Bai Kaixuan stood up and asked, "Chairman, what about my fourth uncle..."
Pi Yangyang's eyes flickered for a moment, then he said calmly, "No need to look for him anymore. The bidding will open in ten days. Everything will be settled then."
Bai Kaixuan hummed in agreement and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
He mentioned the Yan Group to Bai Xiaopeng twice, but Bai Xiaopeng scolded him both times.
Although Bai Kaixuan knew that his fourth uncle was a man of strong principles, he still felt somewhat uneasy when he was completely turned away after asking him for help for the first time for a friend.
He especially felt sorry for Pi Yangyang.
Although Pi Yangyang didn't see Bai Zhenxing this time, he didn't care at all.
If the people of Baicun really cooperate with Bai Zheteng, they will inevitably end up with nothing.
He already has dirt on Bai Xiaopeng, and when it's exposed, Bai's Group's bid will be cancelled, and they will be banned from the industry.
Since there are still ten days until the bidding opens, let Bai Zheteng, Liao Sen, and others enjoy a few more days of hope and happiness.
The following day, he called Guo Weiguo.
"Director Guo, it's been a while. Do you have some free time lately? If so, let's have a casual meal together tomorrow?"
He answered the phone naturally.
Guo Weiguo said happily, "Mr. Pi, you finally remembered me. Tell me, what's the matter? There's no need for dinner, just tell me what you need, and I'll do my best to help you."
Pi Yangyang thought for a moment and said, "It's better to talk in person. If you're not free tomorrow, then let's do it another day?"
"No! Don't postpone it, let's do it tomorrow." Guo Weiguo immediately became anxious. "How about this, we'll go to Old Master Xue's house tomorrow and have dinner with him. Ziming will be back tonight."
"Oh, Xue Ziming is coming back? Okay, see you tomorrow."
Pi Yangyang answered decisively.
After hanging up the phone, he went to Muye Studio.
"Makino, have you found any clues about that bullet?"
Upon seeing Makino, he asked directly.
This matter had been on his mind all along, but he had temporarily put it aside because of the Xingyi Industrial Park project.
Now that Xue Ziming is coming back, it would be great if he could have information about that bullet.
Makino turned on his computer and said, "There's no useful information yet. However, I found on the dark web that someone once issued a wanted notice, offering a reward of ten million dollars to find the owner of this bullet..."
As he spoke, he opened a dark web forum and pointed to a wanted poster on it.
Pi Yangyang looked at it carefully and saw that there was also a picture of a bullet on it, which was exactly the same as the bullet on Xue Ziming's body.
“This wanted notice was issued three years ago, which means that the owner of the bullet took action three years ago,” Makino explained. “However, it also shows that this person doesn’t usually act easily, but once he does, he’s a sure-kill target.”
As he spoke, he scrolled through the forum, pointing to one of the replies and saying, "Someone commented here that this bullet belongs to a top sniper in the Middle East. However, he didn't provide much information, and it's still unclear who this sniper is."
Pi Yangyang stared at this line, and asked thoughtfully, "Can we pinpoint this person?"
