"Did Achen tell you that himself?"
"Of course." Zhou Xinyao insisted, "That day you asked me to call him about how he settled the previous issue at TIM bar, and he just casually mentioned it. At the time, I didn't pay it any mind, thinking he might just see it as a small favor, unnecessary to delve into. But now that I think about it, it's too much of a coincidence."
Zhou Jingxian was deep in thought. Although he didn't believe Zhou Xinyao would make up such a lie, he also couldn't conclude that Zhou Mingchen had any exchange of benefits with the Sun Daily. Moreover, the TIM bar dispute arose because of Zhou Xinyao, it wasn't orchestrated. If what he meant by having Hongli Group handle it themselves is still what he intended, then the relationship here is too complex.
