Dong Tianlu and the Huaxia businessmen present were shocked when they saw Yang Xiaoyun. No one expected he would stand up to accuse Bai Xiaosheng of soliciting bribes and having intentions of smuggling artifacts.

Although it sounds ridiculous, these are not minor charges.

After all, Bai Xiaosheng carries the title of team leader of the business group, and the Yang Family is a major commercial family in Oshan. Their involvement in the investigation is justifiable in legal terms.

If the charges are proven, Bai Xiaosheng’s reputation would be severely damaged, and he would be completely ruined.

"Mr. Yang Xiaoyun, do you know what you’re saying!" Dong Tianlu couldn’t help but shout.

The members of the business group around her also voiced their indignation towards Yang Xiaoyun.

"This is simply absurd. With Mr. Bai Xiaosheng’s reputation and wealth, what bribe would he need to solicit from you, and why would he smuggle artifacts?"

"That’s right, this is sheer nonsense! I believe that Mr. Bai Xiaosheng’s character is nothing like that!"

"Mr. Yang, we are in a cooperative relationship here. How can you slander Mr. Bai like this!"

"Back then, Mr. Bai Xiaosheng overlooked past grievances and did not hold your family’s actions against you, even promoting cooperation between us!"

Facing the anger from everyone, Yang Xiaoyun’s trademark smile vanished from his face, and his expression turned stern.

So according to you, our Yang Family should be grateful to Bai Xiaosheng! Yang Xiaoyun sneered inwardly.

"You talk about how wonderful Bai Xiaosheng is, but that’s because you work with him. What you’ve seen is the glamorous side of Bai Xiaosheng; who knows what he’s like behind the scenes!"

Yang Xiaoyun challenged everyone in public, showing no fear.

As a result, the members of the business group were genuinely enraged, and their words became more intense.

Yang Xiaoyun stood in front of everyone with arms spread, sneering provocatively, "Do you think I’m wrong? Oh, it seems some of you are ready to fight, go ahead, I welcome it!"

With this provocation, the men in the business group were almost bursting with anger.

Seeing the situation on the verge of getting out of control, the journalists nearby were frantically snapping photos, all focusing on the Huaxia Business Group, clearly anticipating big news.

Neither Dong Tianlu nor Lu Tiandao were foolish. Seeing this scene, they quickly restrained their emotions and held back their more impulsive companions.

In a foreign country, on someone else’s turf, any overreaction could be magnified and distorted by the media, which they could not afford to suffer.

Fortunately, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, the two closest to Bai Xiaosheng, were currently not here, as they were busy seeking evidence to clear Bai Xiaosheng of suspicion.

If they were here, they definitely wouldn’t have been able to hold back.

Yang Xiaoyun waited for a while, seeing that the members of the Huaxia Business Group all remained restrained, giving him cold looks, he immediately realized that his small tactics were ineffective.

Yang Xiaoyun sneered repeatedly, raising his voice, "Since you are all reasonable people, then don’t block the way here; whether Bai Xiaosheng is guilty or not, whether he asked my Yang Family for bribes, or tried to smuggle our family’s treasured artifacts, go search his room and you’ll know, isn’t that a simple thing?"

Hearing this, the individuals leading the team stepped forward immediately, addressing Dong Tianlu, "Ma’am, we’re just following orders, please cooperate with us."

Dong Tianlu was silent for a moment, then looked at the other party, saying, "We are the Huaxia Business Group, not representing ourselves here. The Bai Xiaosheng you want to search is our leader; he’s not just an individual! Your large-scale approach here damages our interests and dignity! Without permission from our side, we cannot yield!"

Dong Tianlu stood her ground, as did the others.

The patience of the leading person seemed limited, as he stepped back half a step and beckoned, prompting more personnel to advance from behind, clearly intent on forcing their way.

Dong Tianlu and Lu Tiandao stood firmly together, looking coldly at the other side, with no one backing down.

At this moment, these people were united like never before.

Just as both sides were about to have a physical confrontation, someone shouted, "Wait a minute!"

Dong Tianlu and the others saw a commotion brewing from behind the other party.

Then, the people moved aside, clearing a path, and two people hurriedly walked through.

Dong Tianlu looked up and secretly breathed a sigh of relief—Hou Yuncheng had arrived!

Following Hou Yuncheng was Mr. Mira, the head of the Oshan Commerce Department.

This time, it was Mira who actively sought out Hou Yuncheng, saying he had heard that the relevant departments were investigating Bai Xiaosheng for soliciting commercial bribes and smuggling artifacts, and were on their way to gather evidence. Fearing a conflict with the business group, he invited Hou Yuncheng to accompany him.

With such a major issue at hand, Hou Yuncheng promptly dropped everything and came with Mira.

However, upon arriving, Hou Yuncheng found the perimeter swarmed with reporters, "long guns and short cannons" set up everywhere.

An undercover evidence-gathering investigation, no matter how keen the media’s senses are, shouldn’t have caught wind of it in advance.

Unless, they were deliberately informed before the operation.

Hou Yuncheng cast a long look at Mira at that moment, his eyes full of meaning.

Mira also noticed the exaggerated scene, yet forced an explanation, saying that recent investigations into Bai Xiaosheng had attracted media attention. Those people were camping near the business group’s base, and when this new incident occurred, they naturally called friends and arrived in droves.

Hou Yuncheng had no time to argue with Mira about this as he saw a conflict about to erupt.

With the escort accompanying Mira, the two of them managed to break through the crowd and get to the front.
