Since that phone call, Yi Hong had never given up on investigating the identity of the “mysterious person”, but he found nothing.

When he attempted to return the call, he found that the phone was switched off.

Just as he was about to hire a private detective, officials from the Commerce Bureau and the Bidding Office came knocking on his door.

“Yi Hong, you are suspected of using unfair means to obtain your competitors’ floor price at the Municipal Parcel No. 3 bidding event. Now, please come with us.”

At that moment, Yi Hong stayed composed, a feeling of tranquility washing over him as if the storm had passed and the dust had settled.

“Take him away.”

Just when the outside world thought that Yi Hong was doomed this time, his secretary, Zhang Cheng, submitted a crucial piece of evidence to the relevant authorities.

The next day, Yi Hong was released.

Shen Qian received the news and had a fit of rage in his office.

Liu Hui stood by his side, trembling all over. “How could this happen? How is it possible?”

He had risked everything by reporting Yi Hong, and the relevant authorities had initiated an investigation. At this stage, why would they suddenly release him?

Shen Qian answered a phone call and looked at Liu Hui with increasingly icy eyes. “Fine, I understand. Carry on as planned.”

“Mr. Shen…”

“Liu Hui, it seems you didn’t take my warning seriously. Do you know the consequences of trying to ride two horses at once?”

The man turned pale and sat down, defeated.

He promised Shen Qian to report Yi Hong, and in exchange, Shen Qian wouldn’t pursue the matter of him leaking company secrets. Additionally, he would receive one million in cash and an M-country green card.

In reality, Liu Hui had concealed something from Shen Qian from the beginning. Not only did he accept money from Hengyi, but he also received favors from another competing company. Essentially, he had leaked the floor price to two different companies at the same time. Now, Zhang Cheng had submitted evidence of him accepting bribes from the other party to the Commerce Bureau and Bidding Office.

As a result, Liu Hui’s personal reputation took a big hit. Without physical evidence, they had no choice but to release Yi Hong.

“Mr. Shen, I know I made a mistake. Please, you must save me…” The grown man cried with tears and snot streaming down his face.

Disgust flickered in Shen Qian’s eyes. It was this idiot who had ruined his plans!

Soon, officials from the Commerce Bureau arrived. “Who is Liu Hui?”

Before this, Shen Qian had only said one thing to him, “You’re a smart man, you have a wife and daughter. You should know what to say and what not to say.”

Liu Hui closed his eyes in agony, tears of regret streaming down his face.

Shen Qian grabbed his phone from the table, dialed a number, and stated, “Let’s move forward with the plan. No matter the price negotiations or concessions required, ensure that Yi Hong signs the investment intention agreement.”

“Yes.”

In Jingdu, on Qingtong Street, there was an ordinary rented room.

“Is this okay?” Zhou Chi swallowed nervously.

Shen Wan leaned against the table, holding a box of coconut juice. Upon hearing Zhou Chi’s question, she took her mouth off the straw. “Why wouldn’t it be? Yi Hong has been released, and 1 believe he’ll be coming over soon…”

She hadn’t finished speaking when her phone rang.

Zhou Chi gazed at Shen Wan with admiration, but she simply responded with a light smile, seemingly modest about herself.

“Mr. Yi, are you well?” Shen Wan answered the call, still using the voice-changing software, her cute and sweet loli voice contrasting sharply with the heavy topic they were about to discuss.

“How should 1 address you?” Well, Yi Hong didn’t know how to address her, so he asked directly.

“My last name is Wan,” she casually mentioned, using her first name as her last name.

“Mr. Wan, thank you for helping me.”

“Don’t mention it. I just spoke a little. I didn’t do anything.”

“You’re being too modest. If it weren’t for your information, I wouldn’t have had someone investigate Fenghua, and 1 wouldn’t have been able to obtain evidence of Liu Hui and their involvement in bribery. This time, we managed to turn the situation around thanks to your assistance.”

“Are you still interested in my previous proposal?”

“Don’t worry, with me in the North Sea area, Tian Shui Real Estate won’t have any chance to develop. I’ll make sure of that.”

Shen Wan smiled and said, “I’m excited about our future cooperation.”

Yi Hong was in good spirits, not because he cared so much about that piece of land, but because he couldn’t contain his excitement at making Shen Qian lose face.

The secretary walked in. “Director Yi.”

“Zhang Cheng, you came at the right time. Thanks to your quick thinking, the situation didn’t escalate too badly. I’ve approved your paid leave for the second half of the year, and I’ll cover all expenses. You can pick a destination for yourself and your girlfriend to unwind.”

“Thankyou, boss!”

“What do you have there?”

“Oh, this is the investment intention agreement for the Langhun Luxury Villa Area. They’ve been pressing us for it.”

Yi Hong accepted the document. This project had been under negotiation for a significant duration, and both parties had maintained relatively smooth communication. An internal company assessment had revealed substantial profit potential. If it weren’t for the bidding turmoil resulting from this incident, they would have finalized their cooperation agreement much earlier.

Yi Hong quickly glanced over it, confirming a few critical details, and then swiftly signed his name.

“That’s it.”

“I’ll contact them right away.”

Shen Wan exited the voice-changing software and returned the phone to Zhou Chi. “Keep your phone on during this time.”

“Isn’t everything over?” Zhou Chi asked, puzzled.

Shen Wan thought of the time in her past life when Yi Hong’s investment had failed, and a large sum of money was locked up, eventually leading to the company’s bankruptcy. Could it be related to Shen Qian?

She wasn’t sure.

“Let’s wait for now.”

Regarding what they were waiting for, Zhou Chi didn’t inquire, and Shen Wan didn’t disclose..
