Chapter 203 Wei Tai Returns to the Scene
Xu Chi had prepared a brand-new cargo ship, and even though the sea was a bit bumpy, the ship was exceptionally stable once boarded.
He walked alongside Tu Yao, watching her look around.
He then asked gently, "What do you want to learn?"
Tu Yao quickly pulled a notebook out of her bag and said sincerely, "I want to learn... something illegal."
Xu Chi raised an eyebrow.
"For example, how are cargo ships typically modified for smuggling?"
"Couldn't routine ship inspections detect this?"
Tu Yao racked her brains to add, "How will they evade checkpoint inspections?"
"By the way! I've looked up some information on smuggling. The other side usually consists of dangerous individuals from abroad."
Tu Yao glanced around and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Chi, do you have any experience catching these people?"
Seeing that the problem was getting more and more outrageous, Xu Chi finally couldn't help but turn around and laugh.
Tu Yao laughed too: "Xiao Chi, I was just teasing you with the last few questions, just tell me the first two."
"I originally wanted to ask Uncle Cheng, but now I think you might know more about it."
Xu Chi forced a smile: "...Okay, I'll teach you everything."
After saying that, he led the people all the way to the warehouse.
Tu Yao listened very attentively, making detailed annotations in her notebook.
Xu Chi gazed at her tenderly, his words punctuated by casual questions.
"Tu Xiaomao, so when did you start to suspect the Bai family of smuggling?"
Tu Yao took notes diligently as she replied, "When I was in Yanjing, I helped Sangsang determine the transportation route and looked up the port city's maritime history."
Then it was discovered that a few months ago, a certain richest man in Hong Kong had suppressed the alliance below and even submitted a proposal.
The message is permeated with the prevention of smuggling.
Why take precautions? Of course, it's because someone is preparing to do it.
With the gradual improvement of various regulations and systems in maritime transport, the only way to find loopholes is to modify cargo ships.
"That very night, when I was moving materials with Sangsang, Uncle Cheng mentioned that Baijia Shipyard had converted a cargo ship a few months ago, which made me even more certain."
A smile appeared in Xu Chi's eyes.
By simply piecing together these seemingly minor connections, she confirmed her guess.
She immediately took action, boarding the cargo ship to absorb as much knowledge as possible that she had never known or learned before.
"Tu Xiaomao is really smart."
Tu Yao was silent for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Xiao Chi, aren't you going to ask me why I arrested the Bai family for smuggling?"
The young man on the other side blurted out naturally.
"Because you want to force out the mastermind behind Bai Chumeng and Chu Man."
Tu Yao's eyes widened slightly.
The two went up to the top floor one after the other.
The sea breeze blew in his face, and Xu Chi's smile widened as he continued, "We Tu Xiaomao people have always been clear about our grudges and favors."
She could clearly distinguish Lin Qiuping and Grandma Lin as two completely independent individuals, disliking one and valuing the other.
But when it comes to Bai Chumeng, she can't wait to "be held accountable."
"You think the real mastermind is hiding in the Bai family, and that he should reveal himself once Bai Chumeng and the Bai family are no longer of any use to him?"
Tu Yao was somewhat surprised, but suddenly, she was also somewhat unsurprised.
Koike, it seems like she always knows everything.
She immediately returned the favor by patting him on the shoulder: "Xiao Chi, you're smart too."
"But Tu Xiaomao, I can tell you definitively that, up to now, they haven't even had a chance to actually take any action."
Xu Chi frankly analyzed: "It will be somewhat difficult for you to solidify the charge of smuggling."
"The only evidence is those modified ships."
"But it's not time for ship inspection yet, and the authorities don't have a suitable reason to launch an investigation into the Bai family."
Tu Yao couldn't help but sigh, sat down on the spot, and looked at the sea in the distance.
The wind blew open the notebook filled with writing in her arms, turning the pages one by one.
“…I know, Koike.”
Tu Yao suddenly said softly, "But that alliance... it doesn't just include the Bai family, it also includes the Wei family."
Xu Chi's eyes flickered.
Tu Yao looked up at him with a smile: "I remember that Wei Tai is still imprisoned in Yanjing. If I'm not mistaken, she's a pawn, and she must hate Bai Chumeng and the Wei family very much now."
On the empty deck of the ship, she analyzed bit by bit, "...Sangsang said that there is a lot of infighting in Bai Chumeng's family."
"Then Bai Chumeng's current situation must not be very good either."
It wasn't just her situation within her family, but also the person behind her...
The greater the danger, the greater the profit; but if the other party doesn't get what they want, then only danger remains.
With her status and life threatened, Bai Chumeng could no longer withstand any further stimulation.
Xu Chi stared intently at her: "So..."
"So what if Wei Tai says he wants to fight to the death at this point?"
"Shouldn't the Bai family be eager to deal with those cargo ships?"
Tu Yao grinned. "...Do you think that suddenly dealing with a large number of ships might attract the attention of the authorities? Or, if we get caught red-handed halfway through the process, wouldn't that be enough to establish charges?"
Xu Chi gazed at her intently for a long while, then lowered his eyes and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"yes."
...
The Bai family has been in a state of utter chaos lately.
After the materials incident was classified as a business dispute, the Cheng family went crazy and wouldn't let go of them.
But they stand on the moral high ground, and a bunch of media outlets chime in, creating eight hundred headlines a day to mock them.
In the past two days, all the nephews and descendants of the Bai family have returned to their ancestral home one after another, and they have all turned their anger towards Bai Chumeng.
Bai Chumeng said with a gloomy face: "I have found a loophole. Those trucks are not ours at all. We are now tracing their origin according to the batch and model number."
"It just takes a lot of time to search."
Someone immediately scoffed: "So you mean there's been no progress at all?"
"Two days have passed, and all of the Bai family's collaborations are now suspended! The Cheng family is sticking to us, and if this drags on any longer, the Bai family will be finished."
"Grandpa, I suggest that if all else fails, we should make a tough decision and push Bai Chumeng out to take the blame. After all, it was her who had a brain fart and insisted on framing Cheng Sangsang!"
Bai Chumeng's expression changed instantly: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Don't forget, it was I who saved Xu Feng back then, bringing the Bai family back from the brink of death!"
"But now it's you who have ruined the Bai family!"
Some of the more timid ones muttered under their breath, "If he had died ten years ago, at least he would have been dragged down by Fang Ce and died innocent. But now, he's died a horrible death..."
Bai Chumeng gritted her teeth, but finally couldn't take it anymore and turned to leave.
The sound of cursing and swearing behind me could be heard incessantly.
"What, you can't stand it anymore and you're running away?"
"Where's her housekeeper? He's usually like a lackey following her around, but he's been nowhere to be seen these past couple of days."
...
Bai Chumeng walked faster and faster, running straight into the room.
"Why do these losers have the right to mock me!"
On the wall, a barely formed mass of black mist looked down at her from above.
His breathing was noticeably weak, and the mist kept dissipating and condensing, repeating itself endlessly.
Bai Chumeng paced anxiously back and forth: "Uncle Tiandao, when will you recover? Besides Cheng Sangsang and Tu Chaoxi, are the other people's luck not good enough?"
As if she had just thought of something, she said, "That Xu Chi, he's the richest man in Hong Kong. Could I go and deal with him?! Is he lucky enough?!"
The black mist finally spoke: "...I met him when he was a child. He was so sickly that he could die at any time. He had very little luck, but he became the richest man by virtue of his intelligence."
Bai Chumeng's eyes widened instantly.
...How could a billionaire have no luck?
How could there be no luck?
"You can't even beat Cheng Sangsang, yet you dare to dream of dealing with a business prodigy? Miss, how come I never thought you were so stupid?"
The black mist spoke with a mocking and resentful tone: "Originally, once he died, the Xu family would belong to Xu Bai. That's why I've been telling you to focus on Xu Bai and Cheng Sangsang all these years. But you've failed time and time again, and I've been dragged down with you and ended up like this!"
The voice gradually took on a sinister tone.
"Miss, if you're still hopeless, I'll have to solve this in my own way!"
"I think you've already guessed it. Over the years, I've been looking for more than just you. If you prove useless, I'll naturally find someone else. Don't blame me for being ruthless then!"
Bai Chumeng felt a sudden chill run down her spine, and instantly snapped back to reality.
"you……"
She clenched her fists tightly, almost forgetting that the person opposite her had never been her ally from the moment his identity was revealed.
When a crisis strikes, he is also the greatest danger...
Bai Chumeng swallowed hard... What should she do now...?
Just then, her phone rang.
The screen displayed Wei Tai's private number.
Bai Chumeng's eyelids twitched immediately, and she answered the call.
The next second, she was horrified, "What are you going to do?!"
