The Pang Guoguo headquarters even wanted to take advantage of the situation to stir up some publicity, so that the Round and Fat ice drink brand would have no chance to recover.
Having been suppressed by the other side all along, they felt indignant.
The headquarters, on one hand, contacted the media to heavily hype the food poisoning incident at the ice drink shop, and on the other hand, sent Manager Zhou to cheer up the couple.
When Lawyer Zhang met the heavily made-up woman again, he said with a smile: "Ms. Chen, you and your husband are the heroes of the headquarters. The company will cover all your sonРІР‚в„ўs medical expenses and has also arranged someone to take care of the child."
The heavily made-up woman said gratefully, "Thank you, headquarters."
"No need to be so polite, we are all on the same side. The headquarters promises that after this matter is resolved, your franchise fee will be fully refunded, and the cost of the materials you use will be halved," Lawyer Zhang continued with the good news.
Upon hearing this, the heavily made-up womanРІР‚в„ўs expression became a bit excited.
She even felt a bit regretful, wondering why she hadnРІР‚в„ўt acted sooner, as it could have saved her a lot of money.
Now, the heavily made-up woman already foresaw a bright future, with their business booming.
Lawyer Zhang continued, "If the police still canРІР‚в„ўt find evidence, they will have to let you go, so please you and your husband patiently wait; youРІР‚в„ўll be out soon."
His words clearly reassured the heavily made-up woman.
Zhou Susu and her team were struggling to find evidence; without progress, they would have to release the couple.
Orders to release them had already been issued from above, but there were many suspicious points about the case. Zhou Susu was holding her ground and keeping them detained at the police station under immense pressure.
While Zhou Susu and the girl looked anxious, Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs expression remained calm as he said, "Since they deleted the video, itРІР‚в„ўs clear they have a guilty conscience."
Zhou Susu gave Ye Chen a sidelong glance: "Is there even a need for you to say that? Everyone knows it."
The girl observed the manner in which Zhou Susu and Ye Chen were speaking to each other and realized that the two knew each other.
"Big Brother, do you know this police officer sister?" the girl asked with a surprised expression.
Now she finally understood who had called the police.
Ye Chen merely nodded and didnРІР‚в„ўt speak.
However, Zhou SusuРІР‚в„ўs expression was grave; she was under a lot of pressure.
Seeing Zhou SusuРІР‚в„ўs worried face, Ye Chen reassured her, "I can find the evidence, donРІР‚в„ўt worry. But IРІР‚в„ўll need to visit the ice drink shop run by the couple."
Zhou Susu called over a police officer and said, "Xiao Zhang, drive Ye Chen to the Pang Guoguo Ice Drink Shop."
Officer Zhang looked Ye Chen up and down, and said coldly, "LetРІР‚в„ўs go."
Without waiting for Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs response, he headed straight outside.
Ye Chen felt a bit speechless; it seemed this young officer harbored some hostility towards him. But upon closer reflection, Ye Chen couldnРІР‚в„ўt recall having provoked this officer.
He guessed there was only one possibility: this young officer was Zhou SusuРІР‚в„ўs admirer, and seeing the woman he liked smiling at another man would make anyone uncomfortable.
It was quite understandable, but Ye Chen didnРІР‚в„ўt bother dwelling on it too much.
Ye Chen and Officer Xiao Zhang drove to the Pang Guoguo Ice Drink Shop, and after getting out of the car, they went inside.
Officer Xiao Zhang snorted, "Delivery guy, stop showing off here. We couldnРІР‚в„ўt restore the video; how could you, a delivery guy, possibly manage it? Stick to your deliveries and leave the case to us police officers."
He couldnРІР‚в„ўt believe a delivery guy could do what they couldnРІР‚в„ўt, considering the police had advanced technology.
"The fact that you couldnРІР‚в„ўt restore it shows youРІР‚в„ўre incompetent," Ye Chen retorted coldly.
In Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs dictionary, if someone gives you trouble, you must give it back just as hard.
Officer Xiao Zhang, hearing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words, felt a bit angry: "How can you insult like that? You have no manners."
Ye Chen ignored the officer and focused entirely on studying the surveillance.
In fact, he had hacking skills, and restoring the video would only take minutes.
Ye Chen pretended like he was working hard because he feared if Officer Xiao Zhang, who accompanied him, got suspicious.
Ye Chen originally wanted to come alone, but Zhou Susu insisted on having someone accompany him.
Seeing Ye Chen no longer engaging with him, Officer Xiao Zhang didnРІР‚в„ўt continue speaking. He was genuinely worried they might come to blows if things escalated.
After all, he was there on Zhou SusuРІР‚в„ўs orders, and losing face in front of her would certainly damage his image in her eyes.
Observation revealed Ye Chen had been studying the computer for nearly two hours when Officer Xiao Zhang suggested, "If itРІР‚в„ўs not working, letРІР‚в„ўs just go. DonРІР‚в„ўt waste time here."
Ye Chen didnРІР‚в„ўt respond and kept focused on his work. After a while, he sighed with relief and said, "All done, the videos are restored."
Hearing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words, Officer Xiao ZhangРІР‚в„ўs mouth dropped open in surprise, wide enough to fit an egg.
"Are you sure all the videos are restored?" Officer Xiao Zhang asked.
Ye Chen shook the USB drive in his hand and said, "YouРІР‚в„ўll have a busy night. All the videos are on here."
"Alright, letРІР‚в„ўs head back quickly."
Now, Officer Xiao ZhangРІР‚в„ўs attitude towards Ye Chen had decisively changed, holding more admiration for this delivery guy.
The two drove back to the police station.
Seeing the USB drive in Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs hand, Zhou Susu hugged him and said, "Ye Chen, youРІР‚в„ўre amazing. I knew there was nothing you couldnРІР‚в„ўt do."
Officer Xiao Zhang, seeing this, was already quite dismayed with jealousy, but there was nothing he could do since Ye Chen was indeed incredible.
Afterward, Zhou Susu called in several officers and said, "You guys split into teams and carefully review all the videos here."
The officers, upon hearing Zhou SusuРІР‚в„ўs words, said with drooping heads, "Captain, how long will this take?"
"YouРІР‚в„ўre not going home until youРІР‚в„ўve seen it all," Zhou Susu ordered emphatically.
After the captainРІР‚в„ўs firm order, the officers stopped talking.
Zhou Susu turned to Ye Chen and said, "Ye Chen, you should head back. WeРІР‚в„ўll review the videos first, and if we find any issues, IРІР‚в„ўll let you know immediately."
As a female captain supervising many male officers, Zhou Susu earned her authority by always taking the lead in tasks.
No matter how daunting or risky the work, she was always in the field with her comrades, never standing idly by.
Just as Zhou Susu was about to turn away, Ye Chen stopped her: "Wait, you donРІР‚в„ўt have to go through all that trouble. If we do it this way, thereРІР‚в„ўs too much workload."
"You have a way?" Zhou Susu looked at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression.
In the past, they always watched every video from the beginning.
Ye Chen smiled and whispered a few words in her ear.
The worry on Zhou SusuРІР‚в„ўs face instantly eased.
