Life Changing System

Chapter 248 Bai San

“Hello.” While Bai Chen was standing motionless there, he heard a man’s voice.

When he turned to the source, he halted. The speaker was a very familiar man. It was none other than Li Cong Tian, Li Lin’s father.

Bai Chen went silent. He did not respond instantly. He had not expected that he would meet Li Cong Tian and be greeted by him.

Come to think of it, it was only normal because perhaps Li Cong Tian had simply misunderstood that he was a relative of his 18-year-old self.

The reason why Bai Chen thought this was because it had also happened with Xu Xin Tong.

They were the same people anyway. Their faces still looked the same, despite the age difference; there was just with more maturity. Thus, it was only normal for people to think that they were relatives.

“Hello, Mr. Li.” After a while, Bai Chen responded.

“You know me?” Li Cong Tian was a little surprised.

“Of course, everyone in the city knows you. You’re Li Cong Tian, the current top business leader, and the wealthiest man in Xing Zhou city.”

Bai Chen said this with a calm voice. He did not show any excitement.

Other people would be quite excited and would be trembling to have this opportunity with Li Cong Tian because it did not happen easily.

A lot of people on the first floor were surprised to see that Li Cong Tian had greeted Bai Chen first.

They now wondered who Bai Chen was and where he was from to have made Li Cong Tian make his way up to him like that.

Hearing what Bai Chen said, Li Cong Tian understood. He nodded and looked at Bai Chen cautiously. Judging from Bai Chen’s calmness, he knew right away that Bai Chen was not putting on a facade.

Not very many people in Xing Zhou city could remain composed when talking to him.

These people were usually on the same level with him or higher. That was why he was looking at Bai Chen cautiously.

“You flatter me. May I know your name?” Li Cong Tian asked with a smile.

“I’m Bai San.” Bai Chen replied with an obvious lie.

In his 30-year-old form, he chose to go by the name ‘Bai San’.

“B…Bai!” Li Cong Tian’s facial expression suddenly changed. He exclaimed this with surprise, which startled his bodyguards.

Since they had been appointed to be his bodyguards, they had never seen Li Cong Tian act like this before until now.

That was why it was only normal that they were surprised about it. They started to see Bai Chen differently and also more cautiously.

They started to think that maybe the middle-aged man in front of them was not normal.

“Yes.” Bai Chen nodded. He did not understand why Li Cong Tian acted that way. “My name is Bai San.”

Li Cong Tian inhaled deeply. His heart pounded faster. Bai San’s last name was the same as Bai Chen’s.

It was much too hard for him to keep his composure after knowing that.

A moment later, Li Cong Tian started to calm down. He inhaled deeply again and asked, “Do you know Bai Chen? He’s around 18 years old. I think he greatly resembles you.”

Bai Chen was not surprised. He had already expected that Li Cong Tian would ask because it had happened to him before.

It was Xu Xin Tong who had asked him that time, although he had been in his 18-year-old form and the question had been different. He would still say that he was his own uncle.

“You mean Bai Chen, my nephew?” Bai Chen said.

His words greatly affected Li Cong Tian. It was as he’d thought!

He’d walked up to Bai Chen because he had not been sure about it. Now, he’d gotten his answer, which made his body shiver a little. His eyes widened.

‘This man also has a grand background like Bai Chen does. No, he’s his uncle, so maybe he is very more powerful!’ Li Cong Tian thought. He felt cold all the way down to his bones.

He was afraid that if he made Bai Chen angry, the Li family would not be able to cope with the consequences. Even General Huang Qian, his blood brother, and his wife Li Yu’s husband would not be able to handle things either.

The reason why Li Cong Tian thought so was that he had heard from Tang Zi Cheng that even the Tang family, one of the five big families in Beijing, did not want to cross him!

How could Li Cong Tian not feel cold all the way down to the bones?

Li Cong Tian’s face broke into a sweat. He felt like it was the first time in many years that he was actually scared of something.

At the time when he’d had to encounter Xi Dong from the Xi family, he had not fretted even a bit. This was incomparable to that.

“What are you doing at my company, Mr. Bai San? If you need anything, you can ask me,” Li Cong Tian said, his manner toward Bai Chen became politer, unlike before he’d realised who Bai Chen was.

Bai Chen could not help but go silent. He could not say that he was there to expose the embezzlement of someone in the company, Li Cong Tian’s company.

Li Cong Tian’s sudden politeness confused Bai Chen. He did not know why Li Cong Tian acted like that towards him.

However, Bai Chen finally decided that he would talk about embezzlement because it would be better with Li Cong Tian’s help. Li Cong Tian was the most powerful figure here anyway since he was the owner.

“My acquaintance’s friend asked me to investigate embezzlement of funds because his friend was accused of doing it. He’s a scapegoat,” Bai Chen finally said. Of course, it was a lie.

Hearing that, Li Cong Tian’s facial expression changed drastically. The embezzlement had been exposed here yesterday.

The one who had done it was a subordinate whom he’d highly trusted. He had been one of his closest subordinates. Even though he had not wanted to believe it, he had to with all of the incriminating evidence.

He had been so furious he had not cared to investigate further. He’d turned the man in immediately!
