Chapter 808 Helping You One Last Time
Bai Yi probably already knew what Zhou Yi was going to say, but she didn't stop him, and fortunately, Zhou Yi didn't say anything either.
Perhaps he figured it out himself.
There was a long silence between the two.
Finally, Zhou Yi spoke.
“I know your husband’s hot pot restaurant is involved in a lawsuit, and I can help you with this case.”
"No need." Bai Yi had already considered this matter. "I originally wanted to ask you for help, but it's obvious that's no longer possible. I'll find another lawyer. Thank you for your kindness, Attorney Zhou. I appreciate it."
If it weren't for this incident, Bai Yi knew that Zhou Yi would have been a very good friend, or even a very good partner.
But she and he were no longer a good match, whether as friends or partners.
As Bai Yi got up to leave, Zhou Yi stopped her. "Bai Yi, we've known each other for so long, I want to help you one last time as compensation, okay?"
His last words were spoken very softly, and Bai Yi didn't hear them clearly.
Bai Yi wasn't clear on the specifics of the situation in Chongqing. If the matter was serious, the trial might start soon.
Finding a reliable lawyer in a short period of time is not only troublesome but also very time-consuming.
Since Zhou Yi had already gone this far, Bai Yi could only agree, "Then I'll trouble you."
Zhou Yi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, a relaxed expression appearing on his face.
...
After handing over his work, Bai Yi rushed back to Chongqing the next day.
Wang Ye said that the parents of the children in the hospital had already filed a lawsuit with the court, and he would probably receive a summons from the court within two days.
Meanwhile, Xing Jiu has also found out the results.
In this case, someone did receive money, but the other party contacted them privately by phone.
The money they received was transferred online via WeChat.
That person was very clever; they had already deleted all the phone numbers used for calls and the WeChat accounts used for transfers.
After listening to what Qiao Xing said on the phone, Wang Ye was completely taken aback. "What do you mean? Does that mean there's still no way to find out who did this?"
Qiao Xing comforted him, "No, since it's already done, it can't be perfect. It just takes a while."
Although the culprit has not yet been identified, with Qin Ce's involvement, the test results will be available soon.
Qiao Xing sent the results to Wang Ye's email address.
As soon as Wang Ye hung up the phone, he couldn't wait to open it and watch.
"I told you my shop wouldn't have any problems! The people who framed me are utterly shameless!"
Only after seeing the actual data in the report did Bai Yi finally feel relieved.
With this result, they finally felt confident.
"However," Wang Ye thought, the more uneasy he became, "if it's not a problem with the store, then what about those children at the hospital?"
Bai Yi said, "The hospital's results are probably true. Those children were indeed hospitalized because they ate something bad. The adults are the ones lying."
Wang Ye understood. "Do you think it's possible that those kids didn't get sick from eating at our hot pot restaurant at all, but for some other reason, and someone was jealous that my business was so good, so they gave those parents money to lie and insist that the kids got sick from eating at our hot pot restaurant?"
After analyzing the situation very carefully, Wang Ye noticed that Bai Yi was staring at him intently.
Wang Ye subconsciously touched his face. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Bai Yi shook his head. "It's nothing. I think you're right."
She suppressed a laugh, but what she really wanted to say was that Wang Ye seemed smarter than before.
But saying that would be a blow to him, so Bai Yi decided not to say it.
Once you know what happened, it's easy to find out who did it.
Because on this street, including Wang Ye's shop, there are only two hot pot restaurants.
After discussing it with Wang Ye, Bai Yi said, "I'll go talk to them with Attorney Zhou first. We have evidence now, so they definitely can't deny it."
Bai Yi's idea was that this matter should be handled without going to court. If the hot pot restaurant really did it, they would definitely be afraid of things escalating, and they would resolve the matter themselves without Wang Ye even having to confront them.
Wang Ye, however, felt a little uncertain. "What if they don't admit it?"
"It's a fact that the children got sick from the food. Since they're so eager to shift the blame to us, it's because they have a guilty conscience. This also proves that their store does indeed have problems, so they dare not deny it."
If they want to settle this matter, they must get the children's parents to admit that this incident has nothing to do with Wang Ye's hotpot restaurant, nor with their own business.
Those parents had already accepted bribes and done this once before. If they didn't agree, the people who gave them the bribes would naturally turn against them. If it were exposed that they were profiting from their children's misfortunes, they would suffer a greater loss.
Wang Ye suddenly realized, "Yes, I don't believe they can be as innocent as I am, with a clear conscience, and not afraid of being investigated at all!"
Looking at his confident demeanor, Bai Yi couldn't help but smile.
Wang Ye stared at her smile, momentarily lost in thought.
He didn't know if Bai Yi didn't smile often before, or if he had never paid attention to it, but now he suddenly realized that Bai Yi's smile was quite handsome.
At that moment, Wang Ye felt his heart beat faster. Afraid that Bai Yi would notice something was wrong, he quickly looked away.
"So, are you planning to go see that lawyer Zhou now?" Wang Ye asked.
Bai Yi nodded. "Mm."
She wondered if Wang Ye had ulterior motives for asking that question, so she asked him, "If you hire another lawyer, that's fine too, as long as this matter can be resolved, there won't be any problem."
"No, Attorney Zhou is fine too, after all, he's quite a celebrity in Chongqing." Wang Ye said this with a hint of sourness.
"However," Wang Ye thought for a moment and decided to tell Bai Yi, "there's something I think I should tell you."
Wang Ye found the photos He Fen had given him earlier and showed them to Bai Yi.
When Bai Yi saw the photo, his eyes widened in surprise.
How come you have these photos too?
Wang Ye told this for no other reason than that.
He actually understood very well that if Bai Yi really liked Zhou Yi, then he would choose to respect her.
After all, he and Bai Yi hadn't expressed their feelings for each other, and since it was a marriage of convenience, he couldn't deprive her of the right to like someone else.
But the person who took the photo clearly had ill intentions. Regardless of the relationship between Bai Yi and Zhou Yi, this kind of thing must be guarded against.
