Before Zong Zeyu executed the move to seize the car, he had conducted a thorough investigation into Hou Yi. The inexplicable car accident and the subsequent disappearance from the scene were actions that no normal person would undertake.
To clarify the situation, Zong Zeyu ordered his subordinates to review the surveillance footage from the Tong Le community. Indeed, they uncovered a clue: Hou Yi's car was parked outside the main entrance of the Tong Le community because, half an hour prior, Hou Yi had met with Tong Le inside the community.
Zong Zeyu had heard Tong Le mention Hou Yi from Yi Sheng Architecture before. Regardless of the nature of their collaboration, there was no need for them to meet outside her residence unless there was a special relationship involved.
After receiving the surveillance video from his subordinates, Zong Zeyu felt a twinge of jealousy; he disliked the idea of other men crossing boundaries with Tong Le. Naturally, curiosity compelled him to continue investigating Hou Yi. Within just a few hours, he had uncovered Hou Yi's background and experiences in detail, including information about his hospitalization due to the accident and even the location where it occurred.
Following the clues, since the accident happened near Tong Le's home and Hou Yi was severely injured, Zong Zeyu connected this with the serious injury on Tong Le's arm. Consequently, he ordered further investigation into Hou Yi's car accident, which turned out to be orchestrated by someone hired to kill him. Through a segment of roadside surveillance footage, he pieced together the entire incident.
Tong Le was Hou Yi's savior.
Upon learning this news, Zong Zeyu felt an even stronger emotional reaction; it was uncomfortable for anyone to think about their partner risking their life to save another man. His jealousy intensified, yet this act of selflessness was commendable, leaving him unable to blame Tong Le.
At that moment in his office, Hou Yi made no self-introduction and simply plopped down onto the sofa. Since Zong Zeyu had been rude to him, he saw no reason to be polite in return.
Hou Yi's gaze fell on a corner of the office where an extremely pink bed was placed. He chuckled softly at Zong Zeyu's peculiar preference.
Zong Zeyu showed no hesitation regarding the origin of that pink soft bed; placing it openly in his office indicated that he was ready to reveal his feelings without reservation. He set aside a drone and casually explained that it was for his girlfriend so she could rest here when she was tired.
Hou Yi naturally understood that "girlfriend" referred to Tong Le.
Feigning surprise, Hou Yi remarked, "Oh, Tong Le likes pink? I didn't know that! I thought she preferred blue. That Ding Dong Cat pajama really suits her."
With an exaggerated grin on his face, Hou Yi watched Zong Zeyu closely.
At that moment, Zong Zeyu leaned against his desk with a deep gaze fixed on Hou Yi; an unspoken tension filled the air as if a war without gunfire was about to erupt.
Zong Zeyu felt offended; having another man comment on his wife's pajamas crossed a line that stirred within him an impulse to give Hou Yi a good beating.
His expression gradually turned cold as Hou Yi noticed the change in his demeanor. Deliberately provoking him, Hou Yi said, "Is Zong Zong angry? It seems I've stumbled upon one of your little secrets."
Laughing heartily and stretching his arms over the back of the sofa, he surveyed the entire office leisurely. "Just now, I asked Tong Le and Ke Wenjie how much they would need to agree to divorce Ke Wenjie. Can you guess how much Tong Le quoted me?"
