Shen Yi held his phone and called Assistant Chen.
He didn’t have time to handle today’s matter and had entrusted it entirely to Assistant Chen. The phone was answered soon after dialing.
"Manager Shen," Assistant Chen said as he walked toward a quiet corner.
"How’s the investigation going?" Shen Yi asked in a deep voice.
Assistant Chen replied, "We’ve caught the person who hit the missus with the bike."
"Which company?" Shen Yi asked bluntly.
He only wanted to know the result, although he still couldn’t understand how those people knew that the document Wanwan was carrying was the tender plan for this bid. However, since they went directly for the file Ye Wanwan was holding, it surely must have been useful.
Assistant Chen continued, "At first, he wouldn’t admit it, insisting he wasn’t the cyclist. When the police showed evidence, he said he was just cycling too fast and didn’t hit anyone—it was the missus who fell by herself. But..."
Assistant Chen felt it was very strange himself and paused for a few seconds before truthfully reporting, "It wasn’t until now that the man admitted he was paid to do it. He didn’t intend to hit the missus, just to scare her a little and cause some injury."
"As for who hired him, he didn’t know. He just got a phone call and then received thirty thousand yuan as a down payment, so he did it."
When the police asked the man, "You just wanted to cause some injury?"
The man even said arrogantly, "For such a small amount of money, do you think I’d kill someone?"
"The police have found the account that transferred him the money, and we will soon know who it was," Assistant Chen said.
"That man, don’t let him get out of the police station easily," Shen Yi said indifferently, but that one phrase made Assistant Chen’s skin crawl, and he responded hastily, "I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yi stood by the window for a while before finally turning around and sitting back at his desk.
The bidding meeting was on Tuesday, with only one day left. It was definitely too late to prepare again, and Shen Yi had already anticipated that Jinghong was likely to miss out on this bid.
But as he comforted Ye Wanwan, Jinghong wouldn’t falter just because it lost this cooperation.
He could let go of the cooperation, but the fact that someone would target his wife Shen Yi over such a not-so-significant deal meant they really didn’t take him seriously.
Shen Yi pulled at the corner of his mouth unintentionally, smiling with a face full of indifference.
About half an hour later, Shen Yi’s phone vibrated. He glanced at it, saw that it was Assistant Chen calling, and answered the phone.
"Manager Shen, we’ve found out—it was He Jiayi, the second young master of He Corporation!" Assistant Chen reported the results they had just discovered.
"He, Jiayi?" Shen Yi repeated deliberately, his brow furrowing.
Shen Yi had no impression of the name He Jiayi, but he knew of He Corporation—it was He Qingyun’s family business, wasn’t it?
How was it related to that woman again?
On the phone, Assistant Chen continued, "The police have now gone to the He Family to look for people. I will report the follow-up matters to you later."
"Alright," Shen Yi hung up the phone, his gaze resting on the computer screen. He wasn’t looking at the information on it but was thinking about He Corporation.
Logically speaking, He Corporation had a slim chance in this bidding. To put it bluntly, He Corporation simply didn’t have the capability to complete such a large project.
