Qin Siyue, who had rushed forward, still looked full of guilt. In her eyes, this incident was essentially Yu Zhou taking a blow for her. If she had been the one to step forward, Yu Zhou wouldn't have been attacked.
It was precisely because of this that a trace of confusion flickered across Yu Zhou's face as he lay in the hospital bed.
Could it be that they had already found the culprit? If not, Qin Siyue wouldn't have that expression.
"What exactly is going on? Has it been figured out already?"
Even though Yu Zhou felt that if someone was determined, it wouldn't be difficult to find the mastermind.
However, to find out in just one day was still beyond his expectations.
After all, that blow had felt like it was meticulously planned. In such a situation, it wouldn't be difficult for someone to distance themselves.
Yet, Qin Siyue showed no signs of doubt, as if everything had been revealed.
This made Yu Zhou somewhat incredulous. Even with Qin Siyue's capabilities, could she have figured out everything in just one day?
"It's not that we were fast, but that the other party didn't intend to conceal anything."
"It was Xu Nanfang, the one you got rid of earlier. He's going to develop in Shenzhen now, but he's still fuming and hired someone to do this."
"He was planning to leave for Shenzhen that very night, but I intercepted him."
Qin Siyue still sounded indignant as she spoke.
If it weren't for the matter of the factory, this would not have been of much consequence to Qin Siyue.
However, she held a forty-nine percent stake in the factory, and it was she who had initially proposed the venture.
Yu Zhou being attacked because of this incident was, in Qin Siyue's eyes, him taking a blow for her.
After all, she had never really exposed her identity in Jiangbei. If her identity were known to everyone, no one would dare to do such a thing, right?
It was understandable that Xu Nanfang harbored resentment towards Yu Zhou. However, Xu Nanfang did not know Yu Zhou's background. Naturally, he thought he would teach this new factory director a lesson before leaving, to vent his anger.
"Xu Nanfang?"
Yu Zhou was also taken aback. He hadn't expected this incident to involve Xu Nanfang in some way.
Although he had only met Xu Nanfang once and they had parted on unpleasant terms, Yu Zhou believed he had some understanding of Xu Nanfang.
How to put it? Xu Nanfang might not be a particularly clever person.
However, he was definitely someone who understood how to weigh the pros and cons. Otherwise, he wouldn't have so readily handed over the channels when asked.
Wasn't he just wary of some things Yu Zhou possessed?
Furthermore, he had handed them over after careful consideration and comparison.
It was precisely for this reason that Yu Zhou did not believe Xu Nanfang was the mastermind. The reason was simple: someone like him, who prioritized his own interests in all aspects, would not put himself in danger for revenge.
Perhaps he was not entirely unrelated to this matter, but Yu Zhou did not believe he was the mastermind.
"What's wrong? You look a bit puzzled."
Qin Siyue was surprised when she saw Yu Zhou's expression.
She hadn't thought much of it before. Since Xu Nanfang had been exposed and admitted to being the instigator, it meant there would be no further twists to the story. At least, she didn't know this person and therefore wouldn't be aware of any unusual circumstances.
However, Yu Zhou's expression, as if he didn't believe this answer at all, made Qin Siyue become vigilant.
"Although Xu Nanfang and I only met once, and our interaction was unpleasant, I believe I have some understanding of him."
"He doesn't seem like the type of person to do something like this merely for revenge, so I don't think this is as simple as it appears."
Although Yu Zhou did not directly state that it wasn't Xu Nanfang, as soon as he spoke, Qin Siyue and Qin Feng's expressions changed.
If it were as Yu Zhou said, then this matter would be quite complicated.
No matter how they looked at it, they hadn't expected there to be any hidden motives.
However, Yu Zhou was the victim, and someone everyone trusted implicitly. Therefore, when Yu Zhou said this, while others might not have fully believed him, they at least began to have doubts.
"Could it really be as he says, that there's another hidden story?"
Vice Factory Director Liang Xiaohai, after carefully recalling the events, also felt that the matter was not that simple.
Yu Zhou and the others didn't understand Xu Nanfang, but he understood him very well.
That was a man who wouldn't act without tangible benefit. Such an act, purely for the sake of venting anger with no gain, was not in Xu Nanfang's style.
However, to say that he was completely uninvolved was also impossible.
Therefore, Liang Xiaohai began to feel conflicted. At Yu Zhou's bedside, he poured out his impressions of Xu Nanfang.
Just saying this made everyone frown even deeper.
"Why do I feel like this is getting more and more muddled?"
Qin Siyue was somewhat indignant. Although Jiangbei wasn't her stronghold, under these circumstances, her partner being attacked in such a manner was tantamount to slapping her in the face.
Originally, she had planned to return to Wanghai yesterday, but due to this incident, she still hadn't left.
If this matter could not be thoroughly investigated, not only might there be a rift in the cooperation between Yu Zhou and herself, but it would also be difficult for her to find collaborators in the future.
After all, sometimes partners wouldn't thoroughly investigate the cause and effect of an incident. Many people, just like their initial analysis, would believe that Yu Zhou was just taking the fall.
This was, after all, a public assault. The severity of such an act was even worse than a street brawl between petty thugs.
If it wasn't investigated clearly, she couldn't account for it to herself, let alone to others.
"Don't worry, leave this to me. I will investigate it thoroughly for you."
"Boss Yu! For now, you should stop thinking so much and focus on recovering from your injuries."
Liu Bing, who had been standing outside the door without speaking, stepped forward. This incident was a major event for their reform office as well.
Therefore, he had also been waiting outside.
An investigation was certainly necessary. What if this was truly an internal issue of the factory?
If it wasn't thoroughly investigated, the reform work would be impossible to carry out in the future.
After all, Yu Zhou had only taken over the factory not long ago and was suddenly attacked.
Even if it wasn't directly related, people would inevitably connect this incident with the reform.
