779: Didn't Even Know How to Lie

Didn't Even Know How to Lie

Chen Lei nodded at Jian Ai with a cold expression and said, "This is too strange."1

Obviously, Chen Lei had already smelled something unusual.

"Sit down and talk." Jian Ai let Chen Lei sit in the chair in the corridor.

After sitting down, Chen Lei said, "Someone is deliberately causing trouble for East Sea Real Estate. Moreover, they're using my Century Group."

Jian Ai nodded. "These are also my thoughts. The development of East Sea Real Estate is blocking others."

Chen Lei sighed. "I've read the newspapers for the past two days. The other party found quite an authoritative newspaper company, and they bought quite a lot of headlines. Although this trick is not presentable, it can cause quite a negative impact on East Sea Real Estate."

As he spoke, Chen Lei looked at Jian Ai worriedly. "You have to know that if there are frequent accidents, the higher-ups will stop the project."

Jian Ai understood. "This is also the other party's ultimate goal."

Creating a negative impact and stopping the East Sea Real Estate project to hinder the company's development was killing two birds with one stone.

"We still have to investigate this matter. We can't let it develop. There are hundreds and thousands of workers at the construction site. No one knows how many they bribed," Chen Lei said truthfully.

"The company already sent people to investigate."

Jian Ai couldn't help but look at Bai Zhou. "Take me to see the other two injured workers."

Whoever started the trouble should end it. To get some clues, they had to find a breakthrough in the workers.

In the inpatient department.

Jian Ai and the rest went to the first worker's ward where the worker fell and broke his leg.

In the ward, the worker's leg in a cast was suspended in mid-air. A slightly plump woman was peeling an apple beside the bed.

The worker didn't know Jian Ai and Bai Zhou, but he knew Chen Lei.

Perhaps out of guilt, the moment he saw Chen Lei, the worker's eyes revealed panic and uncertainty.

"Chairman Chen, why are you here?"

The patient's name was Wang Zhi. He was an old employee of Century Group's construction team. When he saw Chen Lei, he wanted to force himself to sit up.

Chen Lei quickly waved his hand. "Don't move if you're injured."

Wang Zhi nodded in embarrassment.

The slightly plump woman should be his lover. She looked as if she had just rushed over from her hometown. When she saw Chen Lei and Bai Zhou, she couldn't help but look reserved. She stood up and quickly moved stools for them to sit on, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Bai Zhou spoke first. "Hello, I'm the general manager of East Sea Real Estate. My surname is Bai. I came especially to visit you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhou's gaze landed on the man's leg. He asked faintly, "Are your injuries serious?"

When Wang Zhi heard that Bai Zhou was the general manager of East Sea Real Estate, the aura on his body shrank. He kept blinking, as if he was nervous.

After all, he was just a worker. How could he know how to hide his emotions? In addition to Bai Zhou and Chen Lei's powerful auras, they had already imperceptibly suppressed the other party's nerves from the moment they entered.

Even if the two of them asked nothing, guilty people couldn't even get past themselves.

Wang Zhi laughed dryly and said, "My leg is broken."

He didn't know how to feel when lying. How could he smile when his leg was broken?

They saw through it but did not expose it. They only stared at him together.

After a while, Chen Lei said, "About the compensation…"

At the mention of compensation, Wang Zhi's gaze suddenly changed. He looked up at Chen Lei with sparkling eyes.
