Chapter 2468: Chapter 1829: The Old Fox and the Young Fox

In the case of Bai Xiaosheng, Cilio was determined to have acted out of impulse and not with premeditated violence or framing, and the judge gave a suspended sentence in court.

This result made Cilio almost collapse into his seat.

He almost thought he was going to jail, even feeling halfway there just moments before, which would have been a devastating blow to his life.

At last, at the final moments, he obtained redemption.

The result of this verdict left Cilio without time to react, as someone had already shouted in shock.

Naturally, it was Tike.

For Tike, the latter half of the trial felt like a rollercoaster.

Life’s ups and downs were too quick.

One moment he was confident of victory, even smugly revealing his true self in front of Mr. Brown.

The next moment, the situation reversed, and he lost completely.

This result was something Tike found utterly unacceptable. So, he instinctively shouted "unfair."

However, Tike’s reaction only brought the judge’s reprimand and a full room of surprised, puzzled, and amused gazes.

Though Cilio heard the verdict and felt all his strength drained away, seeing Tike’s ferocious outburst, he still felt a chill of realization.

The person he always thought was a coward, a puppet of his father, now exposed such a vicious side in front of his father, Wen Yan, and everyone present!

Considering the collective testimony from Fiewood and his people, Cilio realized belatedly what was happening.

This was undoubtedly Tike’s handiwork!

It was him who wanted to push Cilio into the abyss of no return, dragging his father down with him!

Even though his father had previously strongly supported him to take the position!

Cold-blooded, ambitious as a wolf!

Cilio, with shock and anger, felt a chill down his spine.

Someone could hide silently for so many years, meticulously planning everything in the dark, appearing as a loyal dog until one day revealing their wolfish fangs.

How terrifying!

The workplace is not just a clash of talent and ability; it’s also a battlefield of good and evil hearts!

At this moment, Cilio suddenly comprehended the advice his father had given him in the past and his painstaking efforts.

Without parental protection, if he moves too high with his current mindset, he might not even know how he would meet his demise.

At this moment, Cilio suddenly understood.

Tike came to his senses, not knowing how he stood up or why he shouted.

Tike looked around in confusion, seeing Mr. Brown coldly staring at him and Wen Yan looking at him with amusement, feeling as if he had fallen into an icy pit, his heart growing cold.

He had risked many trusted aides, making a gamble.

The result, a total loss!

The face he shouldn’t have shown was exposed to the most inappropriate people, as if all his disguises were torn off, laid bare.

He was done for!

Over ten years of hard work, gone to waste.

More than a decade of ambition for the future, desires hidden deep within his heart, all turned to dust in this moment.

Old Brown would never let him off, and Wen Yan, just by seeing this scene, would become suspicious and investigate him thoroughly.

Tike felt waves of dizziness.

He frowned as he thought hard, trying to figure out how he ended up losing everything and where exactly he went wrong.

All the evidence he had prepared, Brown had already prepared counter-evidence. Brown wasn’t a god, he didn’t predict the future, but because he knew in advance who would testify and had prepared accordingly. Perhaps, some of the witnesses were bought over before today to turn against him.

For Brown to accomplish this, he must have obtained the list of witnesses in advance, which naturally was provided by someone—

Bai Xiaosheng!

Moreover, although Cilio was proven not to have premeditated the assault, just his impulsive attempt to attack people from the Huaxia Business Group had international repercussions that could have led to a severe sentence.

But in the end, Cilio actually received forgiveness from the assaulted, the Huaxia Business Group, sparing him from imprisonment.

The core of all this was still—

Bai Xiaosheng!

Tike’s head began to throb like a drum.

He couldn’t understand why Bai Xiaosheng would act this way. Previously, wasn’t it found that Bai Xiaosheng had multiple conflicts with Brown, with Brown retaliating several times, making Bai Xiaosheng’s businesses fail? How could they suddenly come to some cooperation?

Did Brown compromise with Bai Xiaosheng before the trial?

Impossible, there wasn’t enough time. So, they must have come together earlier?

When? Why did Tike know nothing about it!

Tike frowned tightly, straining his already blurry eyes, trying to spot that figure.

Finally, he found it.

That exceptionally young face was calmly looking at him, with eyes filled with regret.

Despite the distance, Tike’s mind interpreted what those eyes wanted to say, "You lost!"

In his mind, Tike seemed to hear a woman’s voice, Caroline’s voice.

"That Bai Xiaosheng is difficult to deal with. Be cautious, if you make a wrong step, he will trap you!"

Caroline had told him this about Bai Xiaosheng more than once.

He had heard it so many times but never paid attention.

How could a mere child be feared?

Would he be defeated by him? Absurd! Even someone as cunning as Mr. Brown had been deceived by him for over ten years!
