85: Chapter 85 Clues and Analysis

The people from the Chamber of Commerce and the Guild all sprang into action, knocking on doors house by house, and through mutual connections, quickly gathered all the nearby small vendors.

Chamber of Commerce Hall.

"Everyone, please don't panic. I've asked you all to come so late because there's an urgent matter that requires your help. We need to find someone. Whoever can provide a clue, I will immediately reward them 10,000 yuan," Boss Niu said, asking Gu Qingyi to distribute the photos to everyone.

Upon hearing about the 10,000 yuan reward, everyone's eyes immediately lit up.

"The person in the photo is the one I'm looking for. Please recall carefully if you've seen him. The time was around 15:25 this afternoon," Boss Niu continued.

"He was wearing a blue-black jacket, light brown casual pants, and black hiking shoes. He had fair skin and long hair," Boss Niu added.

"Ah! I remember now!" a woman in her 50s exclaimed.

"Oh! Tell me!" Boss Niu said excitedly.

"This afternoon, I did see a young man walk past my stall. He looked similar to what you described. The young man was very neatly dressed, so I remembered him clearly. He stood on the street for a long time without moving. I asked him if he wanted to buy something, but he ignored me. Later, he somehow fainted, and then a few people came and helped him away," the woman recalled.

"Oh, yes, yes! I also have some impression. This afternoon, it seems there was indeed someone who fainted on the street. I don't know if he's the person you're looking for," another person suddenly chimed in.

"That's right, that's right, I saw him too," two or three more people nodded and said.

"Then do you still remember what the people who helped him looked like, or if they had any distinguishing features?" Boss Niu continued to ask.

Everyone shook their heads. The woman thought hard but still shook her head in the end.

She couldn't remember.

Boss Niu immediately rewarded the woman 10,000 yuan, and the other speakers each received 1,000 yuan. The money was recharged into their transaction cards.

Everyone dispersed.

"I don't think Boss fainted; he was probably attacked," Zhang Yuankui analyzed.

"I think so too," Boss Niu agreed.

In their impression, Oriental Chen's health was quite good, and he had never suddenly fainted before.

"Then who do you think it could be?" Zhang Yuankui asked.

Boss Niu shook his head and remained silent.

After a moment of silence, Boss Niu instructed everyone to disperse, and told Celestial Fiend to come with him back to the office.

"Boss Niu, did you find something?" Zhang Yuankui asked after entering the office.

"I suspect there's an internal spy in the Chamber of Commerce," Boss Niu said.

"Oh? Tell me about it," Zhang Yuankui replied.

"When Mr. Dongfang came today, he left some decorations with me, which contained listening devices. Tomorrow morning, send someone to pick up a portion of them. Mr. Dongfang's original purpose was to avoid as much as possible having people with ulterior motives mixed into the Chamber of Commerce and the Guild. Unexpectedly, someone acted very quickly; before we even had time to set things up, something happened to Mr. Dongfang," Boss Niu briefly explained the situation.

"So, you already had suspicions about this?" Zhang Yuankui nodded.

"That's right. When Mr. Dongfang left the Chamber of Commerce today, he must have been targeted. And the other party obviously knew that Mr.'s identity was not simple and specifically came for him," Boss Niu analyzed.

"Logically, that shouldn't be the case. Usually, I haven't revealed anything in front of outsiders, so no one should have noticed his identity," Zhang Yuankui recalled.

"Some people might have already noticed. Mr. Dongfang went to Suiyang Anbu alone; that's a suspicious point. There are also a few people here at the Chamber of Commerce who probably know Mr.'s status. Over time, it's likely that Mr.'s high position in the Chamber of Commerce is no longer a secret," Boss Niu said.

"Moreover, I have someone here whom you've also met; her name is Gu Qingyi. She was brought back by Mr. from Suiyang Anbu before. Mr. has always been suspicious of her identity, but there haven't been any substantial findings. I can't determine now whether this incident is related to her," Boss Niu added.

"Then why don't we call her over and sound her out?" Zhang Yuankui suggested.

"No. Mr. Dongfang gave instructions that this Gu Qingyi cannot be moved lightly. If her identity is fine, she will be heavily used in the future. If there's a problem, she will also be of great use later. So, we can't touch her for now," Boss Niu explained.

"What time is it now? Boss's safety is most important," Zhang Yuankui disagreed.

"Wait a moment, I don't think today's incident is that simple," Boss Niu said.

"Tell me," Zhang Yuankui said.

On this point, Zhang Yuankui was still quite a bit behind Boss Niu. His military background made him unaccustomed to those convoluted matters. However, after becoming the president, he has improved a lot now.

"Mr. is not someone just anyone can take down. All those strange and wonderful pieces of equipment he has shouldn't just be for show," Boss Niu said.

"You mean, Boss deliberately let them catch him?" Zhang Yuankui understood a little.

"It's highly probable," Boss Niu replied.

Zhang Yuankui nodded and said no more.
