Chapter 143: Reaching Too Far
Chapter 143: Reaching Too Far
Seeing Cui Dong closing his eyes, not saying a word and looking unmoved, Bai Song sneered.
Nowadays, there are still people who are loyal and not afraid of death.
He walked up to Cui Dong and blew a puff of smoke in his face. He smiled and said, "Cui Dong, you are loyal and righteous. You are willing to fight for your master without hesitation and are not afraid of death. I admire people with loyalty and backbone.
"But if you die, it's all over. What about your sister? Do you want her to be buried with you? Well, you two can depend on each other in the world of the living, and you can keep each other company in the underworld. I'll be doing a good deed!"
After saying this, Bo Song was about to go out.
"Wait!" Cui Dong hurriedly called out to him.
Bo Song stopped, raised his eyelids, and looked at him without blinking. The casual smile that was always on his face disappeared completely.
"You have worked under me for so many years, you know my rules and understand my character. I will not tolerate traitors.
"Whether you tell me or not, your life is at stake. But I can spare your sister's life at my discretion. I keep my word!" Bo Song's voice was filled with a hint of coldness and majesty.
Cui Dong shuddered unconsciously, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a hoarse voice: "I only know that it should be someone from the Sheng family, but I really don't know which master of the Sheng family it is."
"What do you mean should be?" Bai Song swept his sharp gaze over.
"He never identified himself, and I'd never met him. Every time he contacted me it was by phone. When he wanted to find me, he'd leave a sign at the phone booth at the pier, and the next day I'd wait by the booth at the agreed time, and then the call would come in.
"Master, I didn't recognize him as my master. He threatened me with my sister's life, so I had no choice but to do it!" Cui Dong said with tears in his eyes, enduring the pain.
"Then how did you guess that he was from the Sheng family?"
"He described my sister's dress and living habits in great detail over the phone, and even said he was right next to her and could kill her at any time. My sister serves in the Sheng Mansion and rarely goes out. Anyone who knows her so well must be from the Sheng family."
"Why did the Sheng family suddenly set their sights on the Bai family's porcelain business?" Bai Song asked half-doubtfully.
"I'm not very clear about it either, but he once mentioned Xinchuanling. He asked me if the second young master had been to Xinchuanling? He also asked me what the second young master was doing in Xinchuanling?" Cui Dong felt a burst of pain all over his body. He gritted his teeth, his forehead covered with sweat.
Xinchuanling?
Could it be that the Sheng family is also eyeing the underground fairy palace?
Before, when Bai Xun came out of Xinchuanling, he told him that there was a group of people hiding in the dark and watching them intently.
Could that group of people be from the Sheng family?
"Shipments are confidential. It's impossible for you to know in advance what the goods I'm going to ship look like and prepare substitutes. Do you have accomplices?" Bo Song's face was gloomy.
Cui Dong shook his head and said, "The porcelain plate was given to me by the person on the phone. He had placed it in the agreed place in advance. After I took it back, I replaced the original in the box with the replica, and then sealed the box. After I took the original, I put it back in the agreed place."
"Where is that place?"
"A safe deposit box at Guangyuan Bank."
"Guangyuan Bank? Isn't that the territory of the second master of the Sheng family?" Wang Zijin said with a frown.
The Second Master of the Sheng Family...
No wonder when I met the second master of the Sheng family in a western restaurant, he suddenly brought up the matter of porcelain.
He also said that the Bai family's porcelains were treasures, worth a fortune, and could not be compared with ordinary businesses.
Bai Song was still wondering why the Second Master of the Sheng Family claimed it was worth a fortune when everyone knew the Bai family sold counterfeits. Now it seems that the item he was talking about was the real thing, not a counterfeit.
"You only changed it this once?"
Cui Dong said quickly, "Yes, it was only exchanged once. He only asked me for information before, and the exchange was only done once."
"There are four porcelain plates in the box, three imitations and one authentic one. People who don't know the business can't tell the authenticity at all. How did you distinguish them? I didn't know you had this ability?" Bai Song asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I didn't identify it. The guy told me on the phone that the one on the bottom left was the real one."
After hearing this, Bo Song felt a chill in his heart.
The Sheng family's minions have already reached into the Bai family.
There may also be traitors in the kiln factory.
He frowned until he felt a burning pain between his fingers and realized that the cigarette was almost burnt out.
He threw away the cigarette butt and crushed it hard with his leather boot.
"These are just your one-sided statements. If you want your sister to live, you must tell the truth." Bo Song said calmly.
"Master, if you don't believe me, you can check it out. I was really threatened and had no choice but to do it." Cui Dong's face was pale and his brows were furrowed in pain.
Bo Song said, "I'll check it out myself. Fugui, get him a doctor. Don't let him die yet. This matter isn't over yet. It won't be too late to send him off after it's done."
"Yes, young master." Bai Fugui responded hurriedly.
Coming out of the basement, Bo Song strode forward, but the calmness on his face was gone.
"No wonder you wanted to keep the porcelain business in Yangcheng in secret. It has been targeted by people for a long time! But fortunately, it was discovered in time and the traitor was caught in time. In the future, send more people when shipping and keep a closer eye on it." Wang Zijin said.
"Heh, what's the point of finding only one traitor? What if that group of people bribed the crew to exchange goods on the ship later? What if the people hiding inside had already replaced the real ones in the kiln factory?" Bai Song's face was solemn.
If the traitor is not eliminated, this business cannot be done.
If this happens a few more times, the reputation of the Bai Company will be ruined among foreigners. How can it continue to do business in the future?
Wang Zijin looked worried. "What should we do? You can't always follow the ship when it ships, right? That's unrealistic! The Sheng family wants to control too many things, right?"
Sheng Family...
You're stretching your hand too far!
Bo Song gritted his teeth.
It seems that the matter of Fuyuanji needs to be made a big deal.
When I returned to Bai's Trading Company, I didn't see Bai Xun and Nanchun.
"Where are the second young master and the second young mistress?" Bai Song took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.
"I heard from Bai Dahai that the second young master and the second young mistress had lunch and went back to Baiyuan." Xu Shuisheng poured two cups of coffee.
"Oh, how's things going with Lieutenant Chen?"
"Since arriving in Yangcheng, Lieutenant Chen and his wife have been particularly keen on attending various gatherings and making connections," said Xu Shuisheng.
"Hmph, connections? Same as my cousin's." Bo Song sneered.
"Tonight at the Duan family in the west of the city, Mr. Duan's wife is holding a birthday party. Lieutenant Chen and his wife have also been invited." Xu Shuisheng said.
"The Duan family? Oh, Duan Pengfei. His wife is from Ancheng, so she should be acquainted with the Wu family." Bai Song asked, "Okay, be careful and don't reveal your true identity."
"Yes."
