Chapter 157: Car Accident

The reason Zheng Qian was hesitating between the two plans was because he feared the Qijinyi Alliance would target Qianhe Group.

Looking at the map, Qianhe Group only had these two paths to take; as long as the opposition analyzed it carefully, they could reach the same conclusion.

However, it was impossible for the opposition to know in advance which one would be taken.

If the Qijinyi Alliance wanted to cause trouble, they could only choose between Bohai and the Huai River estuary. If they deployed defenses at both, the cost would be too high and not worth it.

Qianhe Group had just approached Wu Guangquan, the boss of the Huai River wharf, and immediately after, people from the Qijinyi Alliance went there?

How could there be such a coincidence?

Zheng Qian had brought back three orders from the bidding conference, each capable of bringing the company a profit of around one billion.

Two in Yezhou, one in Qilu.

If the company's ships docked at the Huai River wharf to specifically load and unload the export grain for the Qilu order, then efficiency would increase significantly.

But now, the money had been paid, and they could not even enter the wharf.

"There is a mole in The Group!"

Zheng Qian's employee benefits were already generous enough—twice as much as other companies—and he never expected that even with such treatment, a traitor could still emerge.

However, it was no surprise; even Xiao Xinhao, whom he had intended to promote, could turn against him, let alone ordinary employees.

Under the temptation of huge profits, what company wouldn't have a few moles?

"A mole? Not many people knew about this matter." Manager Li Tao was also surprised.

But apart from a mole in The Group, Manager Li Tao could not find any other reason why they were targeted so precisely.

"Then what should we do now? Zheng Qian, you make the call."

The battle between Qianhe Group and the Qijinyi Alliance started right here.

In all matters, one must secure the interior before dealing with external threats. Zheng Qian felt that he had to ferret out this mole first.

To investigate the mole, he had to start with the people around him.

Chen Weiqiang had also said earlier that very few people knew about the Huai River move, which meant it was someone close to them.

Then he would start the investigation with those around him.

It was preliminarily determined that the mole was the secretary of one of them.

There was no need to even mention Xia Xixi; she was definitely not the mole. Otherwise, the several women who had ambiguous relationships with Zheng Qian would have known about each other long ago.

"Brother Tao, go find Wu Guangquan again and ask him if we can secure the Huai River wharf for five hundred million."

"President Chen, contact the people in Bohai and see if they are willing to cooperate with us."

"President Liu, notify the legal department to sue the Huai River wharf directly."

Zheng Qian gave them a wink; these three sentences were actually a ruse.

The few of them immediately understood.

Since there was a mole in The Group, no matter what they did next, it would be futile. The opposition would learn of it through the mole and then set up defenses in advance.

Now that Qianhe Group's intentions had been exposed, even if they changed the plan and set up a base in Bohai again, the opposition would be prepared.

Therefore, they still had to take the Huai River route, and they had to do it by force, but Qianhe Group had to remain still for the time being.

If the information leaked from Manager Li Tao, the Qijinyi Alliance would definitely be the first to approach Wu Guangquan to talk about the wharf.

If the information leaked from Chen Weiqiang, then the people in Bohai must have been tipped off in advance, and surely no one would be willing to cooperate with Qianhe Group.

If the information leaked from Liu Shiqi, then the Huai River wharf would definitely allow the company's cargo ships to pass through normally.

After the meeting, Zheng Qian asked Xia Xixi to call Zhong Xiaoyao and Qin Xueli over.

Xia Xixi didn't need to be investigated, but the administrative special processing team under her still needed to be checked.

Even Zheng Qian didn't expect that the first task he would assign after the establishment of Qianhe Group would be to hunt for a mole.

Zhong Xiaoyao and Qin Xueli worked very hard, acting like they were part of The Group and loyal to him.

Since coming to Zhengxin Shipyard, Zheng Qian had gotten used to using his staff and had built trust with the tasks he assigned to the group; the two of them would definitely not be the mole.

So, sending the two of them to thoroughly investigate the mole in The Group was the most appropriate choice.

After entrusting this matter to Zhong Xiaoyao and Qin Xueli, both felt they carried a heavy responsibility.

"Remember, this matter must be kept confidential. Do not tell anyone else, understand?" Zheng Qian emphasized.

"After you go out, tell the people around you that I was very angry after hearing about being targeted, and that I am going to invest one billion to build a new wharf in the Huai River."

"Remember, only tell the people in our group; don't let anyone else know."

"As long as you can catch the mole, I will give you a one-million red envelope in my private capacity!"

"Even if you don't catch them, it doesn't matter. As long as you tried your best, I will also give a one-hundred-thousand red envelope."

One million??

After hearing this, Zhong Xiaoyao and Qin Xueli's eyes went wide.

Zheng Qian's generosity shouldn't just be out of hatred for the mole.

It must also contain some feelings for the two of them; otherwise, why would Zheng Qian give red envelopes in his private capacity instead of rewarding them in the name of The Group?

Qin Xueli and Zhong Xiaoyao patted their chests and promised Zheng Qian that they would definitely handle what he had assigned well.

The two had just walked out of Zheng Qian's office when Zhong Xiaoyao started with the sarcasm and veiled insults.

"Sigh, I don't know if President Zheng chose the right person this time. What if there's a mole among the people he chose? My mission will be impossible to complete." Zhong Xiaoyao sighed helplessly, looking at Qin Xueli intentionally or unintentionally.

This sentence immediately triggered Qin Xueli.

"Zhong Xiaoyao, what are you being so snarky about?"

"If President Zheng hadn't chosen you, I would be the first to report you to President Zheng as the mole. Let's see how President Zheng deals with you then."

"Hehe, what a joke. You think only you can report someone? Can't I report you to President Zheng as well?"

Two beautiful women with different personalities and styles quarreling—neither giving an inch—was actually quite cute.

Bystanders, while not understanding what they were arguing about, found the back-and-forth quite pleasing to the eye.

Zheng Qian saw that the time was about right and the necessary work had been arranged, so he drove home, ready to enjoy some alone time with Jin Lu.

The villa at Long Lake definitely couldn't be settled in a day; just processing the paperwork would take two or three days. For these few days, Zheng Qian still had to stay at Jiangshan International.

After all, with his father-in-law Jin Zhiyuan present, Zheng Qian still needed to put on a good performance and highlight how good his relationship with Jin Lu was in front of Jin Zhiyuan.

But just on the way home, a small truck came driving in the wrong direction, heading straight for Zheng Qian's car.

Beep beep beep beep beep!

The warning sound was blaring at maximum volume.

Zheng Qian hurriedly slammed on the brakes, but the other side didn't stop at all, and the two cars collided directly.

Bang.

The airbag deployed, and Zheng Qian slammed headfirst onto the steering wheel.

Everything went black, and he instantly lost consciousness...
