Zhou Yi thought he could do it too. After all, a man could never admit he couldn't!
Besides, simply finding the whistleblower wasn't particularly difficult for him. The only tricky part was how to explain to Qu Hongying the method and process he had used to identify the person.
Surely I can't say it was another tip from "a member of the public," can I?
A "member of the public" reported a whistleblower who was also a "member of the public." Doesn't that sound a little ridiculous?
"Hongying, given the current situation, do you think Rong Jinxiu has caught wind of anything?" Zhou Yi asked a crucial question.
The investigation was being kept secret to avoid alerting the target. But if the target had already been alerted-in other words, if Rong Jinxiu had learned about the Supreme People's Procuratorate's moves through her connections in Capital City-then a "secret investigation" served little purpose.
They might as well conduct the operation openly and confront her head-on, without being afraid to tell Rong Jinxiu, "Yes, we're investigating you. What are you going to do about it?"
"We can't be entirely sure! Judging by the fact that Rong Jinxiu hasn't postponed her plan to acquire and absorb Xinguang Factory, she probably hasn't been alerted. But she might also be so confident that she thinks we won't find any solid evidence and can't touch her. In that case, she wouldn't want to waste time-she'd want to make it a done deal as soon as possible!"
