Chapter 134: The Bai Family's Plan and the Medical Conference

The Bai family had severely underestimated Nine Heavens. After all, they had the police on their side. The evidence that was handed over to the police had been sent neatly in a package back to the Bai family. Such instances were not uncommon in the Imperial Capital; high-ranking government officials, the police and large corporations were all colluding in order to bar outsiders from trying to gain a foothold in the country.

The Chen family was caught off-guard by Nine Heavens’ unannounced offensive, in which solid evidence of them colluding with officials and powerful businessmen was revealed to the public. In such a circumstance, the Supreme People’s Court had no choice but to carry out strict punishment on the Chen family for their crimes. As China was now cracking down heavily on corruption, the Chen family had virtually no chance of buying their way out of the accusation. Fear of Nine Heavens has been sowed into the hearts of the people. Many startup businesses were extremely jealous of how fast the company was growing. Still, they had not the guts to make a move against Nine Heavens due to the fear of a heavy reprisal.

However, the masses were puzzled by why Nine Heavens was challenging the Bai family so suddenly.

Did they have evidence that, beyond the shadow of a doubt, could end the Bai family, or had they finally lost their minds?

According to the rate at which their company was growing, the higher-ups must have gone mad to go against the Bai family. Many were watching with keen eyes to see how this situation was going to develop.

On the 67th floor of the Bai Enterprise Tower, the current director, Bai Ting sat on his plush, executive chair. Whilst smoking a cigarette, he stared at the numbers on his computer screen with bloodshot eyes. The dark circles under his eyes were prominent, evidence of sleep deprivation for the past few days.

His entire office was filled with smoke so thick that his secretary almost couldn’t find him when he entered the room. “Director, the managers of the Li and Xu families as well as Dong Shi’s have arrived. Would you like to meet them?”

The Bai Enterprise has recently been investing in real estate. These were the families who, apart from having close ties with the Bai family, were also cooperating with them. As soon as they caught wind about the rumours of the Bai family’s crime, they sent their managers over to Bai Enterprise for an emergency meeting.

During such times, sitting here, awaiting his death was not an option for Bai Ting. After losing a batch of smuggled goods, a significant portion of Bai Enterprise’s liquid assets had become frozen. In times like this, they could only rely on their shareholders as well as their allies for financial support.

“Director Bai.” The men, who were already seated in the conference room all stood up and bowed to greet Bai Ting as soon as he entered the room. Gesturing for them to sit down, he started speaking. “I am aware of why everyone has gathered here today. As such, I would like to provide you with an explanation. I have already devised a plan to deal with such circumstances.”

Bai Ting then motioned for his secretary to start the slides. He then rose up from his seat and made his presentation personally. “I assume that everyone here already knows what sort of company Nine Heavens is. Here, take a look at this. This is their sales turnover that they have recently uploaded onto their official website. Their revenue has already exceeded over a hundred million. What about the rest that has yet to be announced? Mr. Li, let me ask you this. Has your annual sales turnover reached this level in the previous year?”

His remark was like a detonating bomb. Seated in the conference room were all businessmen. They knew very well that running a business was harder than it looks. They were all stupefied upon hearing Bai Ting’s words. “D-Director Bai, what are you hinting at?”
