The suburban parking lot is not far from S University, and Chen Qizhao originally planned to call a car to go there after he came out. It can be seen that Shen Yuhuai followed him out, and when he heard that he was going to the suburban parking lot, he wanted to take him there. Chen Qizhao hesitated for a few seconds and then agreed.

It’s a bit troublesome if you don’t have a driver’s license, and sometimes it’s not very convenient to travel.

“Why do we have to go over there at this time?” Shen Yuhuai started the car and asked casually, “What happened?”

"Something may have fallen over there." Chen Qizhao glanced at Shen Yuhuai and lied, "It's my mother's earring. It seems to have fallen in the car. She asked me to help her find it when I go to practice driving." After he finished speaking, he felt that this matter was not urgent, so he had to change the wording: "That earring is very important. If it is lost for a long time, someone might take it away..."

Shen Yuhuai nodded and said, “Then we must go and find it right away.”

Chen Qizhao breathed a sigh of relief, covered his face with his backpack, and lowered his eyes to check the contents of the email on his tablet. The photo of Master Liu and the gangster in the restaurant has been sent to him. He looked at the "gangster" carefully, but had no memory of him and he was a stranger. He guessed that if it was something arranged by Jiang Yuze or Lin Shizhong, they would not communicate with Master Liu in public. Most likely, this gangster was someone they hired.

The only way to investigate is to follow the clues... Chen Qizhao quickly edited another text message and asked the other party to pay attention to the people who had contact with the gangsters recently.

After doing all this, the car had already turned into the intersection where the parking lot was located, and Shen Yuhuai asked, "Is this the road?"

Chen Qizhao: "Drive about another kilometer."

Shen Yuhuai's car was driving at a steady speed. While Chen Qizhao was looking down at the message, the other party had already turned the car into the intersection, and the parking lot was right in front of him.

Chen Qizhao stuffed the things into his backpack, opened the car door and got out, "Brother Huai, you go and do your work first, I'll go back after I finish looking for it..."

Shen Yuhuai got out of the driver's seat and closed the door, "It will be faster if two people find it."

Chen Qizhao's eyes paused slightly.

Shen Yuhuai asked, “Aren’t you leaving?”

“…Let’s go.” Chen Qizhao suddenly realized that he didn’t seem to be able to refuse Shen Yuhuai.

People were still working in the parking lot. Upon hearing that Chen Qizhao was coming, the manager of the parking lot quickly ran out. When he heard that Chen Qizhao was looking for earrings, he asked for details. Chen Qizhao glanced at the manager and said, "I don't know which car it was lost on. Which vehicles have been sent here for repair recently? You might as well take me there."

Seeing that Chen Ershao was in a hurry, the manager immediately took him to the maintenance workshop, but he was only halfway there.

"Call the technicians in the repair shop to the office and ask them if they found anything during the repair process." Chen Qizhao looked at the employees in the workshop and said, "We'll ask them to help find it later."

Seeing this, the manager said, "Well, it's possible that they found it and took it away and put it somewhere else."

Chen Qizhao added: "If you haven't found it, you can ask the master to drink tea there and wait for a while, and I will go over to ask him when the time comes."

Shen Yuhuai glanced at Chen Qizhao briefly after hearing this, but did not speak.

There were only three vehicles sent by the Chen family for repair this time, one of which happened to be the travel vehicle of Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming. The family's vehicles are basically regularly inspected and repaired, and after the inspection is completed, they will be sent back to be replaced with other vehicles. Chen Qizhao quickly identified Chen Shiming's vehicle and said, "I'll go look for it over here."

Shen Yuhuai's eyes fell on the business car next to him, "Okay, then I'll go over there."

Several employees from the parking lot also came to help, and Chen Qizhao asked them to tell him if they found any small items.

Seeing Shen Yuhuai go to the business car, Chen Qizhao quickly walked to the side of the vehicle, first checked the outside of the vehicle, and found no problems with the tires. He casually asked the staff who followed him, "Who is responsible for the maintenance of these cars?"

Upon hearing this, the staff pointed to Chen Qizhao and said, "Oh, this is Master Liu, and the two cars over there are Master Chen and Master Tang."

"It should be almost fixed, right?" Chen Qizhao opened the back door of the car.

The staff answered every question: "It has been repaired. Someone will come to take the car away in the evening."

The car has been repaired... Chen Qizhao looked at the time. They will leave in the evening, so Liu may not have enough time to make any changes. If someone handed him something, it is more likely that someone put something in the car rather than doing anything to the vehicle itself.

Chen Qizhao lowered his head and searched around for things. Small items might be left in the car, but large items might not be left there. Judging from the photo in the email just sent, it looks like it’s in a box… Is there something that needs to be placed in the car without being easily noticed?

The parking lot employees were already checking the seat seams, but Chen Qizhao stepped out and went straight into the passenger seat. He checked every corner of the front seat but found nothing suspicious. Just as he was thinking about other places, he looked up and suddenly saw the rearview mirror.

A piece of jade and an amulet bag were hung on the rearview mirror inside the car. Chen Qizhao knew that all the cars in his family had this thing. It was an incense talisman that his mother Zhang Yazhi had specially obtained from the temple to pray for the family's safe travels. Chen Qizhao reached out to pinch the talisman bag, and felt the talisman paper inside through the cotton. He continued to pinch downwards, but suddenly stopped.

The next second, his face darkened a little and he took the amulet bag off the rearview mirror.

After opening the talisman package, he carefully took out the talisman paper from it, and finally saw a black object the size of a fingernail at the bottom of the package. He took the thing out, and his face suddenly darkened... If he guessed correctly, this should be a GPS signal device.

Someone asked Master Liu to put this thing because they wanted to use GPS to monitor the location of the vehicle.

Jiang Yuze knew that the Chen family’s vehicles would be regularly inspected and maintained. After this car leaves the parking lot tonight, Chen Shiming would use this car for travel for the next half month unless there were any accidents. It is difficult for Jiang Yuze to place people in Chen Shiming's assistant team, so it is not so easy to get Chen Shiming's specific itinerary. It is probably because of this that he took the risk of using a GPS locator, and the information that can be obtained by monitoring the vehicle's location... It is conceivable what the other party is thinking.

Chen Qizhao thought of the illegally driven truck that collided with Chen Shiming's vehicle in his previous life, and his fingers holding the transmitter tightened a little.

Thinking of this, he put the signal device back into the amulet bag and hung it on the rearview mirror.

The staff member happened to see it and suddenly felt that the second young master was a bit too exaggerated.

The earring won't fall there, right?

Chen Qizhao sat in the passenger seat without moving, his face gloomy.

On the other side, Shen Yuhuai followed other staff members to check other vehicles. As soon as he opened the front seat of the car, he smelled a strong scent of spices. The smell of engine oil in the parking lot was strong. When he smelled such a fragrance for the first time, Shen Yuhuai frowned unconsciously, and his eyes stopped and scanned the car aromatherapy on the right side of the dashboard.

The exquisite and simple aromatherapy box is placed on top, and seems to be the source of all the smells.

Shen Yuhuai asked, “Isn’t the smell of this aromatherapy a bit strong?”

"Oh, this is the aromatherapy that Mr. Chen likes. He always puts such an aromatherapy box in his car. This car was repaired two days ago, but it has been stuffy for two days without ventilation, so it is normal to have a strong smell." said the staff.

When the vehicle is driving, it will be ventilated and the smell of aromatherapy is to remove odor from the car.

The staff has been working in the parking lot for so many years that they are used to these smells. "Sir, let me look in the back seat. Are you in the front seat?"

Shen Yuhuai responded with a "OK", but his eyes were still fixed on the aromatherapy. Many cars have car aromatherapy installed, with either strong or light scents. Chen Yuhuai himself drives frequently and is also particular about the car aromatherapy. He changes the car aromatherapy every once in a while.

Having dealt with chemical products for many years, he is more sensitive to the smell of certain materials. The content of various aromatherapy materials has specific standards. There is no shortage of unqualified car aromatherapy or perfumes on the market, and long-term intake is also harmful to the human body, especially in a narrow space like a vehicle that is closed for a long time, and the harm caused by poor ventilation is even greater.

Shen Yuhuai searched the small gap in the front seat but found no small object resembling earrings.

When he was about to leave, his eyes stayed on the aromatherapy box for a moment. After hesitating for a long time, he moved slightly closer to the aromatherapy box and smelled the scent. He frowned slightly and took down the aromatherapy box directly.

This kind of aromatherapy needs to be changed regularly, and the holder of the aromatherapy box is not that tight and can be easily removed.

After Shen Yuhuai took the lid off, he noticed that there were slightly dark marks on the light-colored aromatherapy inside, and he sniffed it closely, smelling a pungent smell that was different from the smell it emitted.

The staff saw Shen Yuhuai’s actions and asked in confusion, “Sir?”

"Hello, is there any alcohol and clean utensils in the parking lot?" Shen Yuhuai got out of the car with the aromatherapy. He glanced around but didn't see Chen Qizhao, so he had to say to the staff: "It's better to prepare a disposable plastic bag for me. I need to pack something."

The staff member paused for a moment and said, "Yes, I'll go look for it."

There were many tools in the parking lot, most of which were large tools for car repair. The staff saw that he seemed to want to take something from the aromatherapy, so they thought about it and decided to take disposable items. "We don't have any clean and disinfected items. How about this? Unopened disposable tableware."

“Okay.” Shen Yuhuai had just gotten out of another car and didn’t find this kind of aromatherapy in other vehicles.

This was the only car that had this kind of aromatherapy. Chen Yuhuai used a disposable spoon to dig out two pieces from the surface of the solid aromatherapy, one piece was clean aromatherapy and the other contained that bit of dullness. He asked the staff to get a clean parts bag and packed the two pieces of aromatherapy separately before putting the aromatherapy back in place.

The staff member didn’t quite understand: “Sir, what’s the problem?”

"It's not a big problem." Shen Yuhuai put the things away, "It's just that the smell is a bit strong. I'll take it back and see if there's something wrong with the ingredients."

When Chen Qizhao came out of the car, he happened to see Shen Yuhuai communicating with the workers in the parking lot. He walked over and saw Shen Yuhuai holding two small bags in his hands. He hesitated slightly and asked, "Brother Huai, what's wrong?"

"I was just about to tell you that I took some aromatherapy from that car and was going to take it back for testing."

Shen Yuhuai handed two bags of parts to Chen Qizhao, "I took two samples, one has a normal surface, and the other has already shown a chemical reaction."

Chen Qizhao's eyes darkened when he heard this. "Is there something wrong with the aromatherapy?"

"It may be a small problem. Who usually replaces the aromatherapy in this car?" Shen Yuhuai asked.

"The aromatherapy at home is usually my mother's idea. She likes this kind of fragrance very much, and usually she has it delivered to me through private order." Chen Qizhao walked over and took down the aromatherapy, his eyes slightly darkened, "This one?"

Shen Yuhuai said: “You can compare the smell of this with the smell in the car.”

Chen Qizhao had ridden in this car once or twice, but the smell in the car was not that strong at the time, so he did not notice the problem.

If Shen Yuhuai hadn’t mentioned this, Chen Qizhao would not have noticed the aromatherapy issue at all, because this was something Zhang Yazhi prepared, and he never doubted it.

After Shen Yuhuai finished speaking, he noticed that Chen Qizhao's face looked a little ugly, and he said: "It is also possible that there is a problem with the materials used. This will only be clear after testing."

"For custom-made items, there might be a small problem when the perfumer processed it, causing some of the ingredients to be uneven, but generally there shouldn't be any problem. I'll take it back for testing to be on the safe side."

Chen Qizhao didn't completely relax when he heard Shen Yuhuai say this. He thought about the GPS locator he had just found in Chen Shiming's car, and Shen Yuhuai happened to find the aromatherapy. He had always been paying attention to the tires or parts of the car, but never thought about these things. This was his negligence.

"How long will the test take?" Chen Qizhao asked.

"If it's fast, it will take about a week." Shen Yuhuai noticed the boy's slightly gloomy face and asked, "Have you found Aunt Zhang's earrings?"

Chen Qizhao came back to his senses: "No, maybe she forgot where she put it at home. I'll look for it when I get back."

Not finding anything else in the parking lot, Chen Qizhao did not touch the GPS locator and put the aromatherapy back to its original location. He followed the manager to the office and questioned three masters. He put the phone in their mouths under the pretext of the earrings, but found no other suspicious points. Except for the fact that Master Liu spoke a little strangely, he did not find any other problems.

But what is certain is that aromatherapy has nothing to do with these masters.

After the two came out of the parking lot, Shen Yuhuai sent Chen Qizhao back to school before returning to the research institute.

Not long after Chen Qizhao arrived at school, he took a taxi back home. When he got home, Zhang Yazhi was there. She was a little surprised to see Chen Qizhao back. "Xiaozhao, why are you back at this time? Don't you have classes tonight?"

"No class." Chen Qizhao lied, "I think something fell into the car. I'll go look for it in the garage."

Zhang Yazhi asked: "Are you going to have dinner at home tonight?"

Chen Qizhao responded casually, and Zhang Yazhi had already asked the housekeeper Uncle Zhang to prepare more food in the evening.

After arriving at the garage, Chen Qizhao first checked the aromatherapy of each car parked in the garage. The aromatherapy of other cars was normal. Chen Qizhao also checked the amulet bag and other things in the corner, and did not find any other suspicious items. He kept looking in the garage, and Zhang Yazhi and the housekeeper came over to help him look.

"What did you lose that made you so anxious?" Zhang Yazhi asked, "Which car did you take last time?"

"A small accessory."

Chen Qizhao stepped out of the car and looked at the car in front of him with a serious look. The fragrance of this car was different from the one in the parking lot, but it had the same characteristics. When he smelled it closely, he could notice the difference in the smell of the fragrance.

Coincidentally, this is also the car that Chen Jianhong uses when going out.

Chen Jianhong doesn't specify which car to use when he goes out. He often changes cars according to different occasions, but he only uses a few cars regularly. Unfortunately, the two cars that Chen Jianhong uses most frequently have fragrance problems...

Chen Qizhao doesn't believe in coincidences. If there are too many coincidences, then they are intentional.

Zhang Yazhi didn't know what kind of accessory the child had dropped. She was about to ask what it looked like, but when she turned around, she saw Chen Qizhao standing in front of the car door with his back to her. She took two steps closer when her gaze suddenly stopped.

She saw that the veins on the back of Chen Qizhao's hand resting on the car window were popping up, and the knuckles of his fingers were slightly white due to the force.

Chen Qizhao closed the car door and turned around to see Zhang Yazhi standing a few steps behind him. "Mom, what's wrong?"

Zhang Yazhi seemed to have just reacted. She calmed down and asked with a smile, "No... Mom was just about to ask you what your thing looks like, and whether it will fall into your brother's car? Didn't you take his car to the company a few days ago?"

"Maybe." Chen Qizhao said, "Then let's not look for it for now."

After he said that, he walked to the side and glanced at another car when leaving the garage.

"Madam?" asked the housekeeper.

Zhang Yazhi took a deep breath and retracted her gaze. "Old Zhang, please ask a few people to help look for it. The child looks anxious, and the thing must be important."

The aromatherapy in Chen Jianhong's car, the locator in Chen Shiming's car... The first thing Chen Qizhao did when he returned to the house was to check the source of the aromatherapy. It was indeed custom-made by Zhang Yazhi. He found the box of the remaining aromatherapy in the storage room at home, and found the address of the private customization shop from the packaging of the box. After he took pictures of all of this, he glanced at the remaining aromatherapy.

When the Chen father and son came home from get off work, they were a little surprised to see Chen Qizhao at home. Chen Shiming even frowned slightly and looked at Chen Qizhao.

During the meal, Chen Jianhong talked to Chen Shiming about work for a few words, and suddenly noticed that Chen Qizhao's face didn't look good, and he didn't even take a bite of the food in front of him. During this period, Chen Qizhao spoke less at the dinner table, but not speaking did not mean that he had no appetite, especially since the dishes on the table were all his favorites.

"How are your studies going recently?" Chen Jianhong asked.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qizhao looked at Chen Jianhong and asked, "What's the problem with aromatherapy?" Was Chen Jianhong's cerebral hemorrhage related to aromatherapy in his previous life? What role did Lin Shizhong and Jiang Yuze play in it... Why did the spices purchased by Zhang Yazhi go wrong? Was it someone who swapped them in the middle, or was there something wrong with the store where they were customized? And why did these aromatherapy appear precisely in Chen Jianhong's car...

As he was thinking, he suddenly noticed that there were some white strands in Chen Jianhong's hair, and his hands hidden under the dining table tightened a little.

Chen Qizhao said: "Not bad."

"Xiao Zhao doesn't have classes tonight. You finally got home, but why do you keep asking these questions?" Zhang Yazhi picked up some food for Chen Qizhao: "You have lost so much weight recently. Here, this is your favorite. Eat more."

Chen Shiming glanced sideways slightly.

After dinner, Chen Shiming asked Zhang Yazhi and learned that Chen Qizhao went to the car to look for something after returning. He wondered if Chen Qizhao had dropped something in the car. After a while, he noticed the car lights lit up outside the villa. He stood on the second-floor balcony and looked down. He saw that it was someone from the parking lot coming to change the car.

Thinking of the things that Chen Qizhao had dropped, he went out of the villa to take a look. Seeing Lao Lin handing over things to the people at the parking lot, he asked, "Did you find anything dropped from the car while you were repairing it these days?"

"Is it the earring?" The person at the parking lot thought Chen Shiming was asking about the earring, and replied, "No, we don't have it. The Second Young Master looked for it in the parking lot this afternoon, but couldn't find it."

Chen Shiming frowned. Did Chen Qizhao also go to the parking lot to look for it in the afternoon?

After the vehicles were handed over, the people in the parking lot drove away the other cars in the garage. Chen Shiming glanced at Lao Lin, who was parking and adjusting the position, and quickly returned to the villa.

"Young Master, the master is waiting for you in the study." said the butler.

Chen Shiming went to the study and found the documents on the desk already unfolded. They were part of what he had been investigating during this period, and they were related to the dispute between Lin and Yicheng. Some things are much easier to investigate once you find the direction, especially after focusing on Fu Yanyu and Fang Chengjie, the cause and effect of this matter has a reasonable explanation. For example, the direct reason why Yicheng treated Lin like a mad dog was actually Fang Chengjie. They believed that the mistake in the endorsement of Yicheng Medical's new product was a conspiracy between Lin and Fang Chengjie.

"Specifically, Yicheng's top management received an anonymous email, and Lin's related personnel had contact with Fang Chengjie." Chen Shiming said: "Fu Yanyu was also on our Feihong spokesperson list at the beginning. Later, because the other party stood up, we had to give up and choose Nie Chenxiao."

He looked at Chen Jianhong after he finished speaking, and after a brief pause he continued, "But if Nie Chenxiao hadn't exploded at the time, Fu Yanyu's sudden defection would have resulted in the collapse of our new product promotion."

Chen Jianhong closed his eyes, then opened them again: "Because the project failed, we will focus the main conflict on Yicheng who paid a high price to pry Fu Yanyu away."

"Yes." Chen Shiming said: "It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

He looked at his father quietly, not knowing if it was his illusion, but he felt that Chen Jianhong had aged a lot during this period of time.

"Next, I will focus on various external cooperation, and Lin will become our main direction." Chen Shiming said without saying much. He paused for a moment and said, "Please take care of your health."

-*

At night, Chen Shiming returned to his room and arranged other things. After finishing these, he went downstairs to pour a glass of water. When passing by Chen Qizhao's room, he saw a faint light coming from the crack of the door on the ground. He moved a little closer to the room, but did not hear any sound similar to that of typing on the keyboard in the room, so he left quickly.

And Chen Qizhao in the room took the remaining aromatherapy at home, found a clean utensil to dig out some fixed aromatherapy, sorted them out one by one, and planned to go to the research institute tomorrow to hand these things over to Shen Yuhuai to test them all.

As for the location of the aromatherapy shop, he has commissioned someone else to investigate, and it will take some time for the results of the investigation to come out. He walked to the window and saw the location of the garage on the other side of the garden, then his eyes swept to the locator on the table that he had just taken out of the garage.

Chen Qizhao has confirmed that this is a simple GPS locator, and its functions may have been streamlined in order to make it smaller.

The locator is currently in an activated state. After all, we are in the Chen family villa and have not moved over a large distance. The people monitoring behind the scenes probably won't have too many suspicions. He thought for a moment and based on the regular inspection time of the car at the parking lot and the battery time on the GPS locator, it would be at most two weeks.

Thinking of this, Chen Qizhao clenched his fists slightly.

The next morning, the Chen family got up one after another and went to work.

Chen Shiming went to the company early. When he got into the car, he suddenly saw a man running out of the villa. Chen Qizhao stopped his car and knocked on his window without saying a word, "I want to take a ride. I'm going to the company to find something."
