It was no wonder she hadn't been able to find Wu Yongzhi's whereabouts before. She truly hadn't expected him to have undergone plastic surgery, adopted a new identity, and moved to a more developed city. This was truly a case of the closest thing being the hardest to see!
Feng Jie said in a deep voice, "President Ye, Wu Yongzhi is one of Ou Minghan's men. I only met him a few times at Ou's residence before and didn't talk much. I heard he specialized in doing dirty work for Ou Minghan, but I'm not sure if it's true..."
Ye Zhi nodded slightly. "It's true. Can you trace the identity of the person who sent the email?"
Feng Jie said regretfully, "No, the other party was very cautious. We can only trace that the email was sent from overseas at present."
"Overseas..." Ye Zhi's eyes deepened slightly.
It seemed that the sender of the anonymous email must be someone very close to Ou Minghan, which would allow them to extract such crucial information from the suspicious Ou Minghan.
This email was not so much sent to Feng Jie as it was for someone to use Feng Jie's hand to send it to her.
That person's target was her. And that person seemed to believe that she would definitely investigate after knowing this information.
It was also very interesting that the person chose Feng Jie as the recipient.
Although Feng Jie had been by her side for a considerable time, Ou Minghan's intermittent trust in him still made him firmly believe that Feng Jie was his most reliable mole.
As someone trusted by Ou Minghan, he would naturally know about this matter from Ou Minghan, but the other party chose to believe that Feng Jie was her person. It seemed that the sender of the email was at least more clear-headed than Ou Minghan.
Ye Zhi's gaze deepened. Someone Ou Minghan trusted implicitly had chosen to cooperate with her, using her to deal with Ou Minghan?
"President Ye, is the content of this email true?" Feng Jie asked with a frown.
"Most likely true," Ye Zhi replied, regaining her senses.
"I think it's better to be cautious," Feng Jie said worriedly. "What if this is Ou Minghan's own scheme, a trap set in advance, trying to lure you there this way?"
"It's not impossible," Ye Zhi said calmly. "But the possibility is small. If it's a trap, then there must be enough attraction, and it must be ensured that there are no significant losses even if it fails."
Feng Jie was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement. If this was Ou Minghan's trap, it was too crude. After all, for Ye Zhi, Wu Yongzhi's whereabouts were not that attractive. Moreover, if Ye Zhi didn't fall into the trap, Ou Minghan would have exposed his trump card.
"Then who sent this email?" Feng Jie's heart was filled with doubt.
"I do have a guess..." Ye Zhi said leisurely.
Seeing Feng Jie looking at her with curiosity, Ye Zhi shook her head slightly. "Forget it, my guess might not be accurate, there's no evidence. You go and get busy first, don't bother with this matter, I'll handle it."
"Okay." Feng Jie agreed.
After Feng Jie left, Ye Zhi quickly pondered how to handle this matter.
Wu Yongzhi definitely needed to be found, but it absolutely could not be done openly. Otherwise, it would alert the enemy. If Wu Yongzhi or Ou Minghan discovered anything amiss, then this excellent opportunity would be wasted.
As Ye Zhi was thinking, her phone suddenly rang.
The call was from Qi Xuan. Her expression relaxed a bit, and she pressed the answer button.
"A Zhi, my parents and your parents have discussed it. Our two families live close by, and we plan to spend the New Year together this year. They asked me to ask if you have any objections." Qi Xuan said.
"Then let's spend it together, I have no objections," Ye Zhi replied.
"Shouldn't you be on vacation? After the holiday, let's go buy fireworks together. Since the two families are celebrating New Year together this year, let's prepare more fireworks and have a blast," Qi Xuan suggested with a smile.
"Okay." Ye Zhi's mood also lightened.
"My parents invited your parents for dinner tonight, and they asked us to join. Do you have time?" Qi Xuan continued to ask.
"I have time. Pick me up after work," Ye Zhi replied.
Qi Xuan agreed.
"Qi Xuan, I need you to do something for me," Ye Zhi said. "This matter must be kept secret, and the less attention it attracts, the better."
"What is it?" Qi Xuan asked, somewhat surprised.
Ye Zhi didn't hide it from him. She told Qi Xuan about Feng Jie receiving the email.
"Wu Yongzhi had plastic surgery and is in S City?" Qi Xuan was also very surprised.
"Yes, he has changed his identity. Finding him might be difficult," Ye Zhi frowned. "Your connections are wider than mine. Help me contact a few reliable people and quietly investigate Wu Yongzhi's current identity. Find a way to locate him. Remember to keep a low profile and absolutely do not alert the enemy."
"Okay, leave this to me," Qi Xuan agreed. "I will find a way to locate his hiding place as soon as possible."
"Actually, regarding this, I have a rather immature idea," Ye Zhi said hesitantly.
"Tell me about it," Qi Xuan encouraged.
"I think I've been caught in a mental block," Ye Zhi frowned. "I originally thought that Ou Minghan would have Wu Yongzhi handle most things in the gray area or illegal matters, so he would send Wu Yongzhi to less developed cities below tier three.
However, I guessed wrong. He actually boldly sent Wu Yongzhi to a first-tier big city like H City.
So, is there a possibility that Wu Yongzhi, now in S City, is definitely not hiding in some rental room or corner of the city, living in fear day after day? Instead, he might be openly running a company or something similar, using the company as a shell to establish connections with people both above and below, and engaging in some illegal activities?"
"Ou Minghan is audacious and disregards the law. The situation you described is highly probable," Qi Xuan said in a deep voice, agreeing. "I will change the search scope and focus on the situation you mentioned first."
"Also..." Ye Zhi hesitated for a moment, then spoke. "If we find Wu Yongzhi, I think we can try to persuade him first, to get him to voluntarily expose Ou Minghan. I guess he must have had some friction with Ou Minghan recently. At least, Ou Minghan suspects his loyalty."
Ye Zhi thought this way, naturally because of that email.
If, as she suspected, this email was sent by that woman, then no matter what that woman's ultimate goal was, at least her current objective was to cut off Wu Yongzhi, Ou Minghan's capable 'arm.'
That woman must have been lurking by Ou Minghan's side for so long, and at such a time, she would sow discord between him and Ou Minghan, causing friction between them.
"Okay, I'll try," Qi Xuan understood her meaning and quickly agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
She had great confidence in Qi Xuan's ability to handle matters. Now, all she could do was wait. It was absolutely impossible for her to put herself in danger.
