Chapter 2885: Chapter 2015: Success (Part 3)

Since we’ve succeeded, there’s no need to stay here any longer.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying got up, left money on the table, and followed Bai Xiaosheng out through another exit.

After Bai Xiaosheng and the others left, the old white man slumped in his seat, truly speechless for a long time.

Just then, the woman in the green dress unexpectedly walked in from outside.

When they recognized her, everyone fell silent, watching her closely, contemplating how this woman who stirred up two disasters could wreak such havoc.

The woman sensed something was off, yet she walked straight over and sat across from the old white man.

The old white man stared wide-eyed, looking at her as if she were a ghost.

The woman in the green dress glanced around awkwardly, then smiled and whispered to the old white man, "I just had to step out for a moment, dear. What was the number of your room you mentioned earlier?"

Upon hearing this, the old white man jumped as if electrocuted, looking at her as if she were a snake, threw down some money without a word, and fled.

When the woman in the green dress glanced over again, she realized the man had left, and was immediately taken aback, her gaze following.

The waiter came over to collect the money, and wistfully remarked to the woman, "Madam, you should check your own room; your husband was just causing a scene here."

"My husband!" The woman in the green dress suddenly changed her expression, sprang up, and hurried away.

Interestingly enough, she really did have a husband, and he really was on this cruise.

Seeing her figure retreat, the waiter sighed, commenting, "This world is truly crazy..."

...

Back at the secluded small terrace where the previous negotiations took place, Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying met with Lai Mo and Buchi.

Upon getting his phone, Bai Xiaosheng unlocked it and checked it out.

The files had indeed been copied over.

The content, without needing a detailed look, shocked Bai Xiaosheng internally.

By accident, they had landed a big fish!

This material was extremely important to them and couldn’t be shared!

"So, were the files all copied over?" Lai Mo asked Bai Xiaosheng.

In that moment, he saw the gravity in Bai Xiaosheng’s expression.

"You’ve seen them; according to our prior agreement, you should give them to us," Buchi added.

"I want to know how much your employers are paying you to acquire this material," Bai Xiaosheng asked.

Lai Mo and Buchi exchanged a glance upon hearing this.

"What do you mean by this?" Lai Mo asked cautiously.

"I’m sorry, this material is very important to us, and I can’t give it to you. But I can pay a sum of money, not to buy the material, but as compensation for breaking my promise," Bai Xiaosheng replied.

"That’s not right," Lai Mo said, forcing a smile.

"We’re professionals in this field; we can’t sell the same product to two different buyers," Buchi commented.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying listened attentively, understanding that if Bai Xiaosheng was acting this way, it meant the material was extremely important and couldn’t be disclosed.

"To get this material, we played a critical role; you two couldn’t have managed it. Since you didn’t get it yourselves, you’re not qualified to negotiate terms," Lin Weiwei scoffed.

"Trading in commercial intelligence is illegal," Lei Ying said succinctly.

Lai Mo and Buchi’s faces changed dramatically.

"You’re planning to ditch us!" Lai Mo shouted.

Buchi added, "So, you don’t want to give us the material? Fine, if we don’t get our million USD, we won’t let you have peace either!"

"A million USD?" Bai Xiaosheng hesitated briefly, "I can pay you five million USD for my breach of trust. Do you need to reconsider?"

"Five..."

With one sentence, Lai Mo and Buchi were left speechless.

After a moment of silence, the two brothers exchanged glances for several seconds, seemingly reaching a difficult decision.

"Honestly, I’ve long thought about quitting this line of work; it’s too risky and stressful. I want to change careers," Buchi said to Lai Mo.

"I think you’re right," Lai Mo agreed.

Lin Weiwei was momentarily taken aback by their words, then both amused and annoyed, and remarked, "You two are actually quite easy to persuade."
