Chapter 703 Right or Wrong
Zhou Yichen reacted quickly, nodding solemnly as he spoke.
"Yes, we didn't see it. We arrived quite late. When we got to the scene, Chu Yunting was dealing with two agents. After we rescued him, we learned that two other agents had taken Chief Engineer Huo away."
Chu Xin and I happened to pass by a house when we heard the sounds of fighting. We then discovered that Yang Zheng had encountered and stopped two other spies, and he was seriously injured in the process.
I'll say it again: if Chief Lu doesn't believe me, he can ask Chief Engineer Huo to testify; he's the most direct witness.
Old Ge couldn't believe Zhou Yichen's words at all.
He watched this child grow up; he was meticulous, rigorous, and measured in his actions. Although he was later led astray by the little girl Chu Xin, it was absolutely impossible for him to lie so smoothly.
He then looked at Lu Jianshe, his tone sympathetic, but his words carried a hint of sarcasm.
"Should we ask someone else? My people have explained the whole story so clearly, it can't be a lie. And look at that comrade surnamed Yang, he's so calm, he doesn't seem afraid of being investigated at all, so it probably isn't him."
Besides, you're acting without any sense of propriety. You shouldn't have gone to such lengths to go to the hospital and hold someone there like that. It won't sound good if word gets out!
Furthermore, instead of wasting your time, you should use it to train your own soldiers. So many men chasing one person, running all the way, and you still couldn't catch them? You only managed to catch two spies by sheer luck, and you're already feeling smug about it.
If it were one of his own people acting like this, he would definitely look for the reasons within himself first instead of showing off his power here.
Old Ge's words made the three people in the "debt default plan" except for Zhou Yichen twitch at the corners of their mouths. The old man's serious praise was simply laughable.
Ignoring the gazes of the other three, Zhou Yichen earnestly asked Lu Jianshe, whose face had darkened to the bottom of a pot, "So, do you still need me to call the witness over?"
Lu Jianshe's chest heaved with anger. These people didn't take him seriously at all. He blurted out in a fit of rage, "Does what he said when he came mean he was telling the truth? Ha!"
The anger in his voice was off the charts, proving just how furious he was, especially the last cold snort, which was full of sarcasm.
Zhou Yichen lowered his eyes and continued to retort calmly, "You can't assume someone is lying just because they don't agree with what they say, can you?"
Upon hearing this, Old Ge noticed the subtle tone in Lu Jianshe's words. He then saw Lu Jianshe's face contorted with anger, the veins on his neck bulging, and his usually serious lips twitching slightly.
Zhou Yichen's ability to infuriate people is getting better and better.
He finally realized that the conflict between the two was not simply a matter of "one wanting to find someone, and the other preventing him from doing so." They were clearly competing with each other and trying to make each other uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but turn his head and lower his voice to ask Chu Xin, who was closest to him, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Chu Xin wasn't guilty at all that the old man had seen through her. With a mischievous smile, she leaned closer and slowly said under Old Ge's curious gaze, "Want to know?"
Old Ge nodded, "Yes."
Chu Xin's smile widened, "Hey, I won't tell you!"
Old Ge, who rushed over to support these people as if his backside was on fire, only to be isolated himself: ...
Chu Xin nudged him with her arm again, blinked, and said, "Oh, why think so much? Anyway, you're our patriarch today. We'll take the lead if it's tough, but when it comes to showing authority and saving face, you're the one who has to step up. We absolutely can't let others boost our morale while diminishing our own, right?"
