Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: You Are Also My Friend

"Shang Kaiwen is so eager to secure this man’s investment; this overseas Chinese must be very wealthy!" Bai Xiao knew all too well the opportunistic nature of Shang Kaiwen. With her personality, this was indeed an urgent moment. Bai Xiao had tripped her up so many times in this life, making her journey anything but smooth, likely requiring a large sum of money.

Jiang Shaoqing hadn’t been idle either. He had virtually forced the Shang Family into a corner, with many of their investments encountering problems, suffering repeated defeats.

In recent years, the Shang Family had significantly declined, with their business territory shrinking outside the Capital City circle.

If Shang Kaiwen wasn’t anxious to rise again, Bai Xiao wouldn’t believe it.

"Who is this person?"

It’s possible she might actually find someone foolish with too much money to invest.

"I’ve investigated this person. Bai Jingshan, currently fifty years old, was originally a native of the Capital City, the only son of the elderly Bai Wanyu. Over twenty years ago, when his parents were labeled as capitalists, he was sent down for reeducation with them.

His parents suffered various criticisms in the reform farm; after his father Bai Wanyu succumbed to illness, his mother committed suicide, leaving him alone at the farm. Just before being rehabilitated to return to the city, likely overwhelmed by the blows, he disheartenedly left with the uncle who came to find him for Nanyang, and he’s been gone all these years, founding the Bai Group.

According to the information I have, Bai Jingshan is now the president of the Bai Group, personally owning 56% of the shares, with the group’s total assets reaching 8 billion U.S. dollars.

Moreover, it’s increasing conservatively by 1 billion annually, and Bai Jingshan, reportedly highly educated and intelligent, is considered a terrifying person. Calm, wise, and ruthless, he’s been virtually invincible in the business world all these years. noveldrama

Oddly, he has no weaknesses. The uncle who took him out passed away years ago, and though he once had an ex-wife, they are divorced. His daughter lives with the ex-wife.

The relationship isn’t particularly close; reportedly, his ex-wife and daughter took a substantial amount in alimony and child support. His daughter relies on his education fund for living expenses, but he never meets her demands.

He’s said to have many confidantes, but none he particularly cares for, never maintaining a long-term relationship, always keeping it non-committal.

This time, Shang Kaiwen is trying hard to secure investment from Bai Group’s Asia division, putting in considerable effort."

Jiang Shaoqing, of course, conducted thorough investigations; knowing oneself and the enemy ensures victory in every battle.

Moreover, Shang Kaiwen is evidently Bai Xiao’s enemy.

"What’s Bai Jingshan back for this time?" Anything Shang Kaiwen wanted to achieve, Bai Xiao would spare no effort to sabotage. Since Bai Jingshan was the coveted prize in this woman’s eyes, she naturally couldn’t let her succeed.

"Shang Kaiwen has already hired three private detectives, while Bai Jingshan has also hired one, reportedly looking for a woman whose name and appearance are unknown, with only a Jade Pendant belonging to her. Finding a living person based on just that is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

But I think Bai Jingshan might interest you too, as the woman he’s looking for happens to be near your hometown." Jiang Shaoqing sometimes finds many things in this world mysterious; such extraordinary coincidences are hard to believe.

"Liupan Village?"

Does Bai Jingshan have any connection to the Bai Family?

Impossible, Bai Xiao shook her head; she had never heard of Bai Jingshan in this life or the past, indicating no intersection with him in her past life, so he hasn’t appeared in her vision, which means no information on him exists.

However, perhaps something related did occur, just unnoticed by her. Since her siblings were gone in a past life, she never returned to Liupan Village afterward, as it became a place of heartache. How could she possibly go there to reopen her wounds?

If there’s a connection to the Bai Family, she might be able to take the person from Shang Kaiwen’s hands, not needing investment but still able to trip her up.

"Yes, reportedly his reeducation labor site was in Liupan Village, and the woman he’s seeking was supposedly a young intellectual from the area. Those people have long scattered all over, so finding this person surely requires considerable effort."

"Did he say why he wants to find this woman?"

"Reportedly, she’s a benefactor of his."

Who knows Liupan Village’s matters better than her?

"Thank you for my uncle’s affairs. I want you to help my uncle investigate this trading company, including its background. I think my uncle signed the documents, which is fine, and can be obtained through normal procedures.

But the strange part is that they managed to transfer half a million into my uncle’s account, which wouldn’t just casually appear there. There must be something more to it. I’ll try to find a way to meet my uncle and ask him specifically about the situation, and I ask you to investigate and gather related evidence."

She initially cooperated with Jiang Shaoqing precisely for the resources he held.

This is the moment to utilize it.

"Understood, I will help you thoroughly investigate here. I just remind you, you’re a soldier, don’t take unnecessary risks. Consider An Zhiyuan, as his wife, if something happens to you, with An Zhiyuan’s temperament, he might do something even more dangerous. As your friend, I advise you sincerely," Jiang Shaoqing said, choosing his words carefully, hoping Bai Xiao wouldn’t act rashly! This woman’s destructive power wasn’t unknown to him! She appeared gentle but hadn’t been inactive over the years.

But one must know, if this woman wanted, she could quietly eliminate you at any moment! He had witnessed such skills! The affair with Shang Kaijie back then remained fresh in his memory.

Of course, he was on Bai Xiao’s side! But he didn’t wish for Bai Xiao to act unscrupulously.

Crossing one’s own bottom line! One easily ends up enamored with settling scores through violence.

He didn’t wish for this girl to become a murderous demon.

Bai Xiao laughed softly, "What are you afraid of? I’m not a mad killer; I have my limits too! As long as it doesn’t touch my bottom line, within my capacity, I won’t indiscriminately harm the innocent. Major An is quite safe, thank you as a friend for considering him.

Poor thing, poor thing."

"Poor for what?"

Jiang Shaoqing couldn’t stand her feigning innocence, mocking him.

"Poor for always treating you as a friend, poor for having wasted my thoughts."

"I... I also consider you as my friend. Anyway, you and An Zhiyuan should behave well." Jiang Shaoqing, pushed by Bai Xiao, revealed his innermost thoughts, feeling a bit embarrassed, cloaking his concern with a harsh tone.

He angrily ended the call.

At the moment he put down the receiver, he could still hear Bai Xiao’s melodious laughter lingering, echoing for days on end.

This woman was his nemesis.

Yet, the raised corners of his mouth couldn’t hide the admiration welling up within.

This woman was simply too aggressive, effortlessly penetrating one’s defenses and touching one’s heart.
