On his way home from work, Chu Zhichen received a phone call from lawyer Lei. He informed him that the documents he had requested had been sent to his house, with the electronic version also being sent to a private mailbox.
Once he arrived home, Chu Zhichen changed his clothes and settled into the study. He retrieved the compensation documents from a stack of file bags.
The first page contained a general list, which provided the names, ID numbers, and contact information of all the individuals involved.
A total of 42 people had received compensation, including the private kitchen team, service staff, crew members, and all those invited to the yacht party that night.
Chu Zhichen meticulously checked the electronic version, but there was no sign of Zhang Che's name on the list.
Since the compensation required identity verification and the documents needed to be signed by the individuals themselves, this confirmed Qian Hua's statement that the bassist at the party was not the real Zhang Che.
The question remained: Who was this imposter posing as Zhang Che?
Furthermore, aside from Chu Zhichen himself, there were a total of forty-three people present on the yacht that day, indicating that one person had not accepted the compensation.
This individual was Zhang Kai, a waiter from that night.
According to the document, Zhang Che and Zhang Kai could not be reached after the accident, and there were no family members available to negotiate on their behalf. As a result, they were assumed to have abandoned their claim.
Was there a connection between Zhang Kai and Zhang Che?
Could another individual be impersonating Zhang Che?
Wanting more information, Chu Zhichen sent an email to lawyer Lei seeking his knowledge on the matter.
After waiting for some time, Chu Zhichen received a response from lawyer Lei, detailing the situation at that time. It was confirmed that both Zhang Kai and Zhang Che could not be contacted. Testimonies from other waiters and band members revealed that Zhang Kai and Zhang Che had managed to escape, but their whereabouts were unknown, and they never reappeared.
The yacht's stern had caught fire before exploding, allowing ample time for evacuation. Thankfully, no one was killed, and most individuals remained unharmed. To resolve the situation quickly, Li Zangqiu chose to handle it hastily, without any further investigation.
Chu Zhichen gripped the armrest of his seat, his knuckles turning white as he pondered. The band members had concealed Zhang Che's true identity, but had the other waiters concealed "Zhang Kai"?
A wave of unrest washed over him. This matter couldn't be dealt with publicly. He entrusted lawyer Lei with the task of investigating further.
After perusing the documents, Chu Zhichen couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity. In this world, there was an abundance of perplexing situations, just as there were people unaware of them.
Lost in his thoughts, he heard a knock on the door.
Chu Zhichen neatly packed away the files, turned off the computer, and responded, "Please come in."
Mrs. Chu entered holding a bowl of lukewarm soup. She placed it on the table and asked cautiously, "Xiaochen, you always lock yourself in the study as soon as you get home. Is there so much work that the boss is making you work overtime?"
Chu Zhichen replied, "No, I'm just going over some materials."
Mrs. Chu expressed her concern, saying, "Are those the ones Assistant Lei sent today? Are you involved in a lawsuit?"
