Chapter 109 - 95: Feng Yu Smelled the Scent of Progress
"Was it you or wasn’t it? It’s a simple yes or no question."
Feng Yu’s gaze swept over him, her voice rising sharply as she interrogated him.
Watching from the side, a strange look flashed in Chen Mo’s eyes.
’This is the first time I’ve ever seen Feng Yu so imposing and intimidating.’
’Especially with this expression, this tone, and this whole persona she has on.’
’It’s as if this is her in true work mode.’
He found it hard to connect the formidable Feng Yu before him with the one from dinner last time, who had seemed like a campus belle.
All he could say was that with a different "skin" on, her entire aura changed.
"I packed it, but I didn’t swap it, I swear!"
The delivery guy grew frantic, quickly raising his hand as if taking an oath to prove his innocence.
He was getting flustered mainly because he could tell Feng Yu suspected him.
Feng Yu stared straight at him, her gaze fixed for several seconds.
She observed the delivery guy’s subconscious expressions and reactions, relying on her experience and judgment.
’Feng Yu felt that this delivery guy probably really didn’t know anything.’
"Take this to the car. Let’s go check the station."
She turned to her colleague, intending to head to the express delivery station.
Express delivery followed a set process: packing, sorting, transport, another round of sorting, final delivery, and so on.
"Got it."
Her colleague borrowed the delivery guy’s small dolly, moved the cardboard box onto it, and prepared to take it away.
The contents of the box were now evidence, so of course, neither Chen Mo nor the express company could be allowed to touch it again.
"We’re taking this for now. We’ll bring it back to you once this is all over."
Feng Yu gave a small smile and explained the situation to Chen Mo.
Her attitude toward Chen Mo was completely different.
After all, Chen Mo was the victim.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Mo said with a grateful smile.
"It’s all part of the job."
Feng Yu waved it off and prepared to head downstairs.
Just then, a balding, middle-aged man came panting to Chen Mo’s doorway.
"Station Manager..."
When the delivery guy saw the balding man, he seemed to have found his backbone and quickly called out.
"Xiaoliu, what exactly is going on?"
The balding station manager asked Xiaoliu while still catching his breath.
A moment ago, Xiaoliu had only given him a brief summary; he wasn’t very clear on the details.
Now, seeing police officers in Chen Mo’s home, it was clear Chen Mo had already filed a report.
His heart sank. ’This is about to blow up.’
"Station Manager, here’s what happened..."
Xiaoliu quickly explained the situation in detail to the station manager.
While Xiaoliu was reporting to his boss, Chen Mo and Feng Yu didn’t interrupt, just watching quietly from the side.
The man was the station manager, and the upcoming investigation would require his cooperation.
It was good for him to be brought up to speed.
After listening, the station manager’s face turned ashen.
Although it wasn’t yet certain at which stage the swap had occurred, the fact that a swap happened was undeniable.
’If it was swapped after leaving our station, then I can breathe a sigh of relief.’
’But if it was swapped inside our station, my career as station manager is probably over.’
"You’re the station manager for this area’s Shuntong Express?"
Feng Yu glanced at him and asked with a serious expression.
"Hello, hello. Yes, I’m the station manager for this area."
The station manager forced a smile onto his face and nodded politely at Feng Yu.
"You must be Mr. Chen? I am so sorry this happened and for the loss it has caused you. We will definitely cooperate with the investigation and do our utmost to help you recover your losses..."
He then turned to Chen Mo, his face full of apology.
"I just hope that before the investigation results are out, you can refrain from posting about this online?"
"We promise that as soon as the results are in, if it’s determined to be our fault, we will absolutely give you a satisfactory resolution and compensation!"
After apologizing, the station manager offered his assurances to Chen Mo with another obsequious smile.
’Whether it happened at my station or at some other stage, the matter definitely needs to be suppressed for now.’
’Then I’ll report it to headquarters and have them send someone to handle it.’
’This incident has to be managed. If Chen Mo isn’t satisfied and posts this online... given how bad this is, a scandal like this could hit number one on the trending topics in minutes.’
’And if a competitor throws some money at it, it could stay number one for days.’
’So, I have to placate Chen Mo first.’
"Don’t worry, I won’t say anything before the investigation results are out."
Chen Mo’s expression didn’t change in the slightest as he spoke in a calm tone.
’Before the results are in, I really won’t say anything.’
’But after I get the police’s investigation results... that’s another story.’
’If they want me to stay quiet, we’ll have to see what kind of "sincerity" they can offer.’
"Thank you for your understanding!"
The station manager let out a slight sigh of relief and quickly thanked Chen Mo.
He understood Chen Mo’s unspoken message, but he could only deal with the present.
As for what happened after the investigation, that was no longer his problem.
Someone else could have that headache.
"I hope you will cooperate with our upcoming investigation."
Feng Yu added, seeing that the station manager was finished.
"I’ll definitely cooperate!"
The station manager nodded eagerly. ’How could I dare not cooperate?’
’I’m just a lowly station manager. I can’t just ignore the uniform she’s wearing.’
"Chen Mo, just wait at home for news. Trust me."
Feng Yu turned to Chen Mo and gave him a small smile.
"Okay, thanks."
Chen Mo smiled and nodded.
Of course he trusted Feng Yu.
Afterward, the group of four—Feng Yu, her colleague, the station manager, and Xiaoliu—returned to the station.
