Upon hearing this, Old Master Bai was startled, his face showing disbelief, and he hurriedly asked anxiously.
"What? They actually did something like that! What exactly happened?"
Xiao Weiguo took a deep breath and then slowly began to speak.
"On the second night after that incident, when all our police officers were doing their best to apprehend these criminals, who would have thought that they had secretly prepared several hundred kilograms of explosives, attempting to blow up the entire Panlong Textile Factory to ashes."
If we hadn't been fortunate enough to obtain this intelligence and act swiftly to stop it, this case would probably have already spiraled out of control and become a huge scandal by now.
Despite his long and eventful life, and his extensive knowledge, Old Master Bai was still taken aback by such a heinous act, and was speechless for a long time. After a while, he came to his senses, his eyes wide with astonishment, and asked again.
"Is everything you just said absolutely true? How can there be such an arrogant and domineering person in the world?"
Xiao Weiguo nodded vigorously, let out a long sigh, and then said.
"That's absolutely right, Elder Bai. The situation was extremely critical at the time, and Jiao Bai was the first to arrive at the scene. At that time, those criminals were almost about to light the fuse, but fortunately, Jiao Bai was extremely skilled and stopped them. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
After listening to Xiao Weiguo's account, Old Master Bai's gaze immediately shifted to Jiao Bai, who was standing to the side, as if he wanted to confirm the truth of the matter with him personally.
Jiao Bai stood quietly, without saying a word, but his calm expression seemed to contain a thousand words.
Faced with the old man's questioning gaze, he simply nodded slightly to indicate his confirmation.
After receiving an affirmative answer, the old man remained silent.
He slowly withdrew his gaze, then turned around and put his hands behind his back.
His once imposing and sharp eyebrows were now tightly furrowed, like two locked doors, revealing his deep worry and unease.
Then, the old man began to pace back and forth in the room with heavy steps, each step seemingly carrying immense pressure.
It was truly shocking to hear this from Xiao Weiguo!
Not only was the old man completely unaware of this, but even Bai Ziyu, as a member of the company, had not received any definite information to this day.
At this moment, Bai Ziyu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and large beads of sweat slid down his cheeks.
It must be understood that if this terrible explosion were to actually occur, it would undoubtedly bring catastrophic consequences to the Panlong Group, which they control.
At that time, the damage will not be limited to economic losses.
Under intense public pressure, Panlong Group will inevitably become deeply entangled and unable to extricate itself.
In a short time, a flood of negative comments and doubts will likely come, causing Panlong Group's reputation to plummet.
It must be said that Lao Mo's move was extremely insidious and ruthless.
If his conspiracy succeeds, Xiao Weiguo and the entire Panlong Group will inevitably fall into an extremely passive and difficult situation.
For this reason, Xiao Weiguo harbored deep hatred for Lao Mo and vowed to eliminate Jiang Sheng to prevent future troubles.
Old Master Bai lowered his head slightly, lost in long and deep thought. Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and the surrounding air became heavy.
Finally, he slowly raised his head, and a bright light suddenly flashed in his previously dull eyes, as dazzling as a shooting star streaking across the night sky. Then, his gaze, sharp as a hawk's, locked onto Xiao Weiguo.
"These people are so arrogant and domineering, there must be someone backing them up, right?"
Old Master Bai's voice was deep and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority.
Xiao Weiguo's face remained calm and composed, without the slightest ripple, but inwardly he couldn't help but marvel at the old man's keen insight.
He nodded slightly, indicating that he was absolutely certain of what Old Master Bai had said.
Seeing this, Old Master Bai's eyes gleamed even brighter, and he continued to press for answers.
"Then let me make a bold guess: the power they rely on must come from overseas, right?"
Xiao Weiguo's heart skipped a beat, and he felt immense admiration for the old man's accurate deduction.
With just a few words of his description, he was able to quickly discern that the matter was connected to overseas forces. Such astonishing insight is truly admirable.
At this moment, Xiao Weiguo felt a surge of respect for the old man and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, praising him sincerely.
"The old man is indeed brilliant!"
Faced with Xiao Weiguo's undisguised praise, Old Master Bai simply waved his hand, his expression remaining calm as ever, and said softly.
"There is nothing difficult to predict about this. Our country has undergone many years of development and reform, and has always focused on internal governance."
The country has always done its utmost to create a harmonious, peaceful, and favorable environment for development for the people.
Therefore, judging from the current situation, there is absolutely no force in the country that would dare to commit such a rebellious act, openly challenging public order, good customs, and the bottom line of the law, and going against the tide.
Only overseas gangs would dare to do that. Am I right?
Xiao Weiguo nodded repeatedly.
“That’s right. Before this, the forces behind them called me and told me to prepare for their retaliation. Then all this happened. You know without me saying it. These overseas criminal gangs don’t take me seriously at all. This is just their first wave. There will be a continuous stream of retaliations to come.”
At this point, Xiao Weiguo stopped talking and instead turned his gaze to the old man.
"So, you know who ordered it?"
"Know."
Xiao Weiguo answered affirmatively.
"But right now I really don't know what to do with him."
"So you came to me this time wanting me to use some means to deal with those people?"
The old man asked in a serious tone.
At this point, no matter how rich Xiao Weiguo was as a businessman, he couldn't do anything about those overseas criminal gangs.
At this point, it is only natural to ask the government for help and request that the state use its power to deal with those people, and the old man's idea is not wrong.
However, Xiao Weiguo shook his head.
“Grandpa, it’s not what you think. You certainly have the ability to get rid of this person, but there are many people like him in the world. The reason they dare to target our Dragon Kingdom’s merchants is because some of our country’s decisions have made our national power unable to cover them. This has emboldened their arrogance.”
“Grandpa, you can use your connections to get rid of this person for me, but that’s not a long-term solution.”
He paused here, a sudden glint of light flashing in his bright eyes. Then he softly uttered a sentence.
"I will personally take action against these forces and eradicate them forever. Let them know that those who dare to offend my Dragon Kingdom, no matter how far away, will be punished."
