Li Feng stood in the corner of the market, and the scene in front of him still made him frightened.
He turned his head and looked at Chen Hong: "Chen Hong, even though we see these inferior ingredients here, we still need more direct evidence to prove that Zhang Qiang is related to this."
Chen Hong frowned: "Are you trying to say that we have to go to the store to investigate?"
"That's right." Li Feng nodded, "We have to ask the store's waiters and purchasers to see if they know the source of these ingredients."
Chen Hong was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Mr. Li, I'm a little worried. All the employees in the store in the second district of the city have been bribed by Zhang Qiang. Will they tell the truth?"
Li Feng looked at her, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Chen Hong, we can't give up looking for the truth just because of worry. As long as we show sincerity, I believe someone will be willing to tell the truth."
He patted Chen Hong on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to investigate. You just need to tell me which employees may know the inside story."
Chen Hong nodded: "Okay, Mr. Li, I will make a list for you."
That night, Li Feng led a team of capable people to the store in the second district of the city.
They investigated secretly and had in-depth discussions with employees.
However, as Chen Hong expected, most employees chose to remain silent or avoid talking.
"Mr. Li, it seems that the situation is not good." An investigator whispered, "These employees seem to have been bribed by Zhang Qiang."
Li Feng's face was extremely ugly.
He looked at the employees who chose silence in front of him, and his heart was filled with disappointment and anger.
But he knew that he couldn't give up, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to Mr. Xia.
He took a deep breath and decided to talk to an old employee himself.
"Master Wang, how long have you worked here?" Li Feng walked up to an old employee who was busy and asked softly.
Master Wang raised his head and glanced at him: "I have been here since our store opened. I have been here all the time."
"Then you must know the situation here very well."
Li Feng said, "We want to know if you know anything about these inferior ingredients?"
Master Wang was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "Mr. Li, I know something about the situation, but I'm afraid that if I speak out, I will lose my job or even get into trouble."
"Master Wang, don't worry." Li Feng said immediately, "We will ensure your safety and work. As long as you tell the truth, we will give you corresponding rewards and protection."
Master Wang was silent for a moment, and just when he was about to say something, there was a cough from the door.
Everyone looked back and saw Zhang Qiang walking in with a smile.
As soon as Master Wang saw him, his face immediately turned pale and his eyes were filled with fear.
"Hey, Mr. Li, why are you here?" Zhang Qiang walked up with a smile, "Are you here to inspect the work? Welcome!"
Li Feng looked at him, feeling unhappy in his heart.
He clearly knew that Zhang Qiang had a problem, but he couldn't expose him to his face.
He took a deep breath and decided to continue questioning Master Wang.
"Master Wang, what did you want to say just now?" Li Feng asked.
But at this time, Master Wang tightened his lips and did not dare to speak anymore.
He looked at Zhang Qiang in fear, as if begging him to let him go.
Zhang Qiang smiled proudly, as if to say, look, they are all afraid of me.
When Li Feng saw this, he was filled with anger.
He knew that he would not be able to get any useful information at all if he continued like this.
He decided to change his strategy and question Zhang Qiang directly.
"Zhang Qiang, do you know why I come here?"
Li Feng said coldly, "Mr.
Zhang Qiang's expression changed when he heard this.
But he quickly regained his composure: "Mr. Li, this is completely slander! I was wronged! I can guarantee with my personality that the ingredients in our store are of high quality and safe!"
He spoke impassionedly, as if he had truly been greatly wronged.
But Li Feng saw a trace of panic and uneasiness in his eyes.
"Okay, you say you were wronged."
Li Feng sneered, "Then let's investigate. If you are proven innocent, I will apologize to you, but if you are proven guilty..."
"I will accept the company's investigation at any time!" Zhang Qiang interrupted, "I believe the company will give me a fair judgment!"
In the next few hours, Li Feng led people to conduct a careful search in the store.
They checked purchase records, ingredient quality, employee statements, etc.
But strangely, they did not find any clues that could prove Zhang Qiang's guilt.
On the contrary, all evidence shows that Zhang Qiang is a good leader who is serious and responsible and deeply loved by his employees.
This made Li Feng very confused and angry.
He knew there must be something wrong with Zhang Qiang, but why couldn't he find any evidence? Is it really possible to let this person get away with it?
…
By this time, it was almost dawn.
Li Feng returned to the company full of confusion and anger.
He directly found Xia Ye and told Xia Ye in detail what had just happened in the store.
"Mr. Xia, I really can't understand."
Li Feng said excitedly, "We clearly know that Zhang Qiang has a problem, but we can't find any evidence. He is like a cunning fox who can always cover up his crimes in advance."
Xia Ye listened to his complaints with a calm expression.
He didn't respond immediately, but picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip gently.
Upon seeing this, Li Feng gradually calmed down and waited for Xia Ye's analysis and instructions.
After a while, Xia Ye put down the tea cup and spoke slowly: "Li Feng, why do you think Zhang Qiang accepted our investigation so confidently?"
Li Feng was stunned: "Confidence? You mean, he was prepared in advance?"
“It’s not just as simple as being prepared in advance.”
Xia Ye shook his head, "I think he is convinced that we will not find evidence for him, and this confidence probably comes from the support of someone behind him."
"What do you mean..." A flash of surprise flashed in Li Feng's eyes, "Search to the bottom of the river?"
"That's right." Xia Ye nodded.
"If Zhang Qiang really has some connection with Lao He Di, then everything makes sense. In order to protect their own interests, Lao He Di is likely to help Zhang Qiang cover up his crimes in advance, and they may even provide some kind of Guarantee, let Zhang Qiang believe that even if we investigate, we can’t find evidence.”
Li Feng gradually became clearer after listening to Xia Ye's analysis!
He took a deep breath: "Mr. Xia, I understand. What you mean is that we should start with the relationship between Zhang Qiang and Lao Hedi to find out the true connection between them."
"exactly."
