Chapter 1777 - 1772: Easily Fooled?

"It’s Cao Meng calling again!"

As the phone rang once more, Xiaobei spoke calmly.

Lin Ya put down the apple she was holding and smiled gently, speaking with ease, "Since he’s calling again, let’s answer it. Once we do, we’ll know what his game is."

Nodding, Xiaobei chuckled, "Exactly, once he speaks, we’ll know who has won!"

In the past, Xiaobei and Lin Ya had made a bet.

They knew the winner and loser would soon be revealed.

Upon hearing Xiaobei mention the bet, she waved her tiny fist and exclaimed excitedly, "I think I’m definitely going to win!"

"What a coincidence! I thought so too!"

With a chuckle, Xiaobei answered the phone without hesitation.

After connecting the call, Xiaobei’s smile faded, and he spoke unemotionally, "What’s up now?"

"Master Xiaobei, I thought carefully about your proposal earlier, and I’ve agreed."

Cao Meng’s words came quickly through the receiver.

Xiaobei had expected this, so he remained calm and composed!

But Lin Ya was shocked.

Her mouth dropped wide open...

"Oh my God, he actually agreed? How is this even possible?"

She still felt it was unreal.

Because Xiaobei’s previous conditions were too demanding, so anyone with sense wouldn’t agree.

"Are you sure?"

As he asked back, Xiaobei glanced at Lin Ya, who looked astonished.

At that moment, Xiaobei really wanted to pinch her tender, chubby cheeks.

"I’m sure, very sure! As long as you transfer sixty million to me now to fill this hole, I’ll promise to do as you say from now on!"

"Remember your words. If you fail to deliver, I guarantee you’ll regret it!"

After saying this, Xiaobei directly hung up the phone...

...

"Family Head, did the other side agree to our demands?"

As Cao Meng set down the phone, the person who chose to stand by Cao Meng’s side quickly asked.

"I don’t know for sure. It seems like he agreed, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Meng heard a message alert.

Looking down, he broke into excited laughter.

Because it was a notification from the bank about a deposit.

"That idiot really transferred sixty million to me!"

After laughing wildly, Cao Meng felt a bit regretful, thinking he should have asked for more.

"What a squander of such a good opportunity!"

Reflecting on not asking for more earlier, he sighed silently.

Knowing the money had arrived, the person excitedly said to Cao Meng, "Family Head, with this sixty million, the elders in the family can’t do anything about you!"

"Yes! Alright, let’s prepare to head back now!"

"Okay!"

He agreed excitedly, hesitated a bit, and said, "Family Head, we really should stay in the family for good lately; otherwise, there may be trouble."

Cao Meng understood the trouble he mentioned referred to Xiaobei...

With a slight smile, he confidently replied, "Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal! After all, he’s just one person; I really don’t believe he’d dare go against our entire family!"

"True!"

...

"Xiaobei, did you just transfer sixty million to him so easily?"

Lin Ya looked at Xiaobei in disbelief, stunned.

She thought Xiaobei was too reckless...

After all, sixty million was just handed over!

Seeing Lin Ya’s astonishment, Xiaobei’s lips curled into a slight smile, and he softly said, "According to you, what should I have done?"

"At the very least, get a written agreement! So if he doesn’t acknowledge it later, we’ll have evidence."

Lin Ya spoke quickly.

She thought Xiaobei was being too rash; in her view, Xiaobei should have called Cao Meng over and made him sign an agreement in front of her, saving a lot of trouble later.

"That’s unnecessary! As for him reneging, it’s irrelevant; he can completely choose not to own up if he can face the consequences."

Noting Xiaobei’s confidence, she pondered and slowly nodded...

She’d thought it over just now; Xiaobei truly didn’t need these formalities because he had enough power to keep him in line.

"I hope he won’t renege, or he’ll really suffer!"

She knew Xiaobei was particularly serious, so if the other party didn’t self-destruct, it was fine, but if he insisted on self-destructing, he’d meet a very miserable end.

...

While Lin Ya commented, Cao Meng hummed a little tune in excitement.

"Before, I thought that Xiaobei was very shrewd, but now it seems he’s just a fool. I could easily mislead him and he sent me sixty million! I’m really curious how he’s survived this long!"

Hearing Cao Meng’s dismissive ridicule, the driver softly said, "Family Head, he might appear so confident because he believes you won’t betray him!"

"He thinks I won’t dare? Do you think I dare?"

"Well... I don’t know! I’m not familiar with him!"

"That guy, Xiaobei, does have his tricks, but compared to me, he’s still a bit lacking, so there’s no need to worry!"

"That’s good!"

Talking, they returned to the family place.

Watching everything ahead, Cao Meng sneered, "Going back this time, I must seriously deal with those family elders!"

He’d been dissatisfied with them for a while but never had the chance to deal with them properly.

But now, he felt the opportunity had arrived...

...

"Family Head, we’re ready to get off!"

Upon hearing this respectful offer, Cao Meng turned his head, seeing him politely opening the car door.

"Yes!"

With a slight smile, Cao Meng quickly got out of the car.

Originally, he planned to rest, but he quickly abandoned that idea, thinking dealing with those elders was the most important task now.

With this in mind, he swiftly headed to the Elder Council...

This attendant gave Cao Meng a glance, quickly following him.

He knew that starting today, Cao Meng would completely establish authority.

"Following him should lead to a brighter future!"

Murmuring this, he fondly touched the expensive watch Cao Meng earlier gifted him...

...

After pushing open the meeting room door, he saw all the elders sitting with solemn faces. Smiling lightly, Cao Meng said blandly, "Good day, elders! I heard you called for me earlier, not sure if there’s something very important?"

Speaking, Cao Meng casually walked to his seat, sitting down composedly...
