Downstairs of Ruihong's subsidiary, the police technicians who came analyzed the locator and determined that it was a specially made locator.

"This thing is now activated, and your location is being monitored in real time." The technician continued, "I'm not sure what the other party is planning, but the battery of this thing can only last about 9 days."

The police were registering the situation. Due to the special location of the locator, some of the information was registered in Ruihong Company in order not to alert the enemy. After Chen Shiming communicated with the police, he talked with Special Assistant Xu. After confirming that there was nothing unusual in the company, he continued to talk about the current plans and arrangements in the company.

Chen Shiming was thinking that the battery has a short shelf life and it is impossible to confirm when the other party will take action. It is easy to dispose of the battery, but Chen Shiming was wondering who would put this thing in his car and what the purpose was. Was it simply to track him, or was there some other intention?

As he was thinking, he saw Chen Qizhao standing not far away.

Chen Qizhao was on the phone, "Has Chen Jianhong arrived at the company?"

Xiao Zhou, who was already in the company, returned to his workstation after finding out the news. "Yes, Mr. Chen arrived half an hour ago and has already entered the office to handle official business."

He didn't understand why his boss suddenly asked this question, but he still told his boss what he saw as instructed.

"Reduced your field work during this period. If there is anything, let Feihong's people handle it." Chen Qizhao looked at the police who stayed near the vehicle to collect samples with a slightly depressed look, "Keep an eye on Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming. If they go out or have other situations, report to me immediately."

Xiao Zhou just said "OK" when the call was hung up.

After Chen Qizhao hung up the phone, he looked towards Chen Shiming's position and found that he was also looking at him. He had no choice but to walk over and ask, "Why are you looking at me?"

Chen Shiming asked: "Who are you calling?"

"Xiao Zhou." Chen Qizhao waved the call record in front of him and said, "I can't go to the company. Let Xiao Zhou find it for me."

He listened as Special Assistant Xu discussed this week's schedule with Chen Shiming.

Special Assistant Xu continued to communicate with Chen Shiming about this week's schedule. After talking about the business trip, he mentioned the special meeting next week: "The two projects that our team is going to take over this year should be on the agenda next week. The development of the Longcheng project and the acquisition of Shengming are both scheduled to be held next week. Our team has completed several projects this year. This special meeting at the beginning of the year can determine the project plan for the first half of the year."

Chen Shiming nodded: "Please compile the information of the two projects I mentioned before and put them in my office for the meeting next week."

Special Assistant Xu said: "Okay, I will arrange it as soon as I return to the company."

After Chen Shiming finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that Chen Qizhao beside him looked thoughtful. He asked, "What are you thinking about? Go to the special meeting when the time comes. When the non-macro project is finished, you can also take the project and become the new project leader based on your ability."

Chen Qizhao suddenly asked: "Which projects are you planning?"

"Longcheng and Shengming." Chen Shiming said.

Chen Qizhao asked again: "Are there many people competing with you for the position of person in charge?"

"There will be special meetings for each project within the company, and at that time the project teams within the group will choose or compete based on their own circumstances." Special Assistant Xu explained: "Longcheng and Shengming are both large projects, so there are naturally many competitors."

Chen Qizhao uttered an "oh" and looked straight at Chen Shiming, and said in a somewhat naive tone: "If you can't attend this project... then won't they lose a competitor?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Shiming and Special Assistant Xu both stopped talking.

"Isn't that what's played out in TV dramas? They just create a car accident or something so that the competitor can't go to the scene." Chen Qizhao's tone gradually became calm. "For example, they put a locator on your car, and then they find a car to hit you. Wouldn't that mean you won't have a strong competitor?"

"I'm just kidding. Why are you guys so serious?" Chen Qizhao shrugged. "Or maybe you've offended someone in the company, and they can't stand seeing you doing well, so they might want to cause trouble for you."

Chen Shiming glanced at Special Assistant Xu out of the corner of his eye, and the latter immediately walked over to communicate with the police and seemed to say something. The police on the other side then walked over quickly and planned to talk to Chen Shiming.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around him, Chen Qizhao took a few steps back, and his tense body relaxed at this moment.

The car accident made Chen Shiming notice that all the aromatherapy in the house had been sent to Shen Yuhuai for testing, which would take at least some time... But basically some things have been settled. Chen Shiming would definitely be alert if he knew about this. As long as Chen Shiming told Chen Jianhong about this, his father Chen Jianhong would also notice this problem, and it would not be easy for Lin Shizhong to take action against them again...

But after a while, Chen Qizhao's eyes suddenly became cold again.

The timing is right, there is something that should be released at this stage.

After calling the police, Chen Shiming returned to the company headquarters in the afternoon.

Not long after he arrived, he went straight to Chen Jianhong's office.

Chen Jianhong had heard Chen Shiming's brief explanation on the phone. As soon as Chen Shiming arrived at the company, he immediately called him over and asked, "Are you okay this morning?"

"It's okay. We called the police right after Qi Zhao found the locator. The matter has been handed over to the police." Chen Shiming explained: "I'm not sure if my car is the only one with the problem, nor am I sure who put the locator in the car. To be on the safe side, I asked the police to disguise themselves as people from the Municipal Bureau to check the parking lot. If there are other results, they should be available soon."

His car had just been sent back from the parking lot, and the parking lot was most likely the biggest problem.

"Who would do that in your car..." Chen Jianhong pondered, "Where's Xiao Zhao? Was the kid scared?"

"He's fine... I should be looking for something in his office now." Chen Shiming thought of what Chen Qizhao said in the morning, and his tone sank slightly: "I have been very active recently. I suspect this incident was directed at me. The person who did it may be someone who is my direct competitor in the company."

He told Chen Jianhong the validity period of the locator and the results of the police investigation.

"Who do you suspect?" Chen Jianhong.

Chen Shiming said: "If it is because of past conflicts that they want to attack me, then it could be the departments I am investigating. If it is a recent conflict of interest, then it could only be the two meetings that are about to be held at this time."

"My project team has planned two projects, Longcheng and Shengming. Only the special meetings for these two projects were held within the battery's shelf life."

Chen Jianhong pondered: "What do you want to do?"

"I want to set up a trap. The quickest way is to find out who will be the ultimate beneficiary."

Chen Shiming's eyes were stern. "I hope you can keep the status quo before the meeting next week. I will arrange other things... No matter what happens, you just need to follow the original process."

Outside the office, Chen Qizhao glanced at Chen Jianhong's office. Chen Shiming had been in there for at least half an hour.

He walked side by side with Xiao Zhou, passed Chen Jianhong's office, and headed in the other direction.

"The Shengming meeting room is probably over here." Xiao Zhou continued, "Boss, how did your stuff fall over here?"

"I just happened to pass by here last week." Chen Qizhao pushed open the door of the conference room, saw the spacious scene inside, noticed the projection console in the conference room, and quickly closed the door, "Which side is the computer room on this floor?"

Xiao Zhou pointed to a certain location and said, "Over there."

Chen Qizhao looked at it thoughtfully, and then said, "It's okay, let's go."

Shengming acquisition meeting next Tuesday...

Once some things were confirmed, he suddenly lost his usual patience.

Chen Qizhao glanced at the computer room in the distance.

Why are you going this way...

Of course, he had a good idea, a good idea that would ruin Jiang Yuze's reputation.

This good show is about to begin, and the protagonist naturally has to dress up and appear.

-*

On the eve of the storm, Shengming Company.

The news of the acquisition had spread, and the employees within the company were a little unsettled. After the last high-level meeting, everyone came out of the conference room with their own thoughts. They saw a middle-aged man with a stubble on his face and an agitated mood. No one else looked at him much, nor did they look at his distraught appearance. Some even gloated, thinking that this man didn't know whose slander he listened to and sold his shares in advance, but ended up owing a debt when he encountered problems.

Coming to the company now will not help, so can he still expect people in the company to help him?

One of them stared at the middle-aged man for a while, then returned to the office and made a phone call to report the details of the meeting.

After Jiang Yuze received the notification from Sheng Mingfang, he finally showed a satisfied smile on his face after working hard for several days. "Other things will proceed as planned. I will tell you who is in charge after Chen's meeting next week."

"Okay." The person reporting said, "But Brother Jiang, that guy just came to the company to make trouble again. How should we deal with his matter?"

"He is not a shareholder of your company now. The security guard takes the money but does not do his job? Just kick him out." Jiang Yuze said in a light tone, "You don't need to tell me about this kind of thing. He is in this situation by himself."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and glanced at the project book on the table.

Thinking of the Sheng Ming plan, Jiang Yuze's face darkened. This was originally a sure win, but for some reason it took him and General Manager Lin so much effort. General Manager Lin invested a lot of money in it. After finally settling the Sheng Ming matter, Chen's side also started to propose the Sheng Ming acquisition agenda as planned... But some people just wouldn't listen. It would be better for them to just follow the crowd and reap the benefits, but they had to go against him and General Manager Lin. He could only teach them a lesson.

Jiang Yuze opened the project book. Regarding the acquisition of Shengming, he had to choose a puppet that was easy to control.

On the other side, Sheng Ming, a middle-aged man, was kicked out by the security guards. He sat at the door of the company in a daze, attracting many sidelong glances from passers-by.

With trembling hands, he tried to pick up the documents that had fallen in front of him, when suddenly a man in a floral shirt and a mask appeared in front of him, kindly picked up the documents scattered on the ground, and finally handed them to him.

The middle-aged man said thank you, and when he looked up, he found that the man was still standing there.

"Brother." The man in the flowered shirt squatted down and handed him a cigarette with his motorcycle-gloved hands, then placed an envelope in front of him: "My boss asked me to give this to you."

The middle-aged man looked at him in confusion and lowered his head to open the package: "What is it?"

The man in the flowered shirt smiled and said, "It's something that helps others. My boss hates bullying the most."

The middle-aged man lowered his head to open the envelope, and as soon as he opened it, he saw several photos inside. They were all photos of Sheng Ming’s senior executives having private talks with someone.

His face changed, and when he looked up to see who was who, he found that the man in the flowered shirt had disappeared in front of him.

The man in the flowered shirt walked to the corner, sent an email to a special mailbox, then whistled a tune, got on his motorcycle, and left in a leisurely manner.

Time flies and a few days pass quickly.

The Chen Group has many meetings at the beginning of the year. The launch of larger projects means that the work of each project team will be confirmed soon. The meeting schedules are distributed to the senior executives of Chen. The Shengming acquisition meeting will be held at the headquarters tomorrow morning. As for the project leader for Shengming's acquisition, it has long been rumored within the company that although there are many competing candidates, the most competitive one should still be Mr. Chen Shiming.

In particular, Mr. Chen has been vigorous and resolute in recent times. He achieved many achievements last year and brought rich profits to the group.

The senior executives with voting rights discussed secretly and tried to find the right candidate for the benefit of the group.

When Jiang Yuze received the itinerary from Xiao Jiang, he had just finished a call with someone else.

"Chen Shiming has been visiting Mr. Chen's office quite often recently, and the conversations are quite frequent, but he should be preparing for the acquisition of Shengming." Xiao Jiang reported, "I saw Assistant Xu has been busy with this matter these days."

Jiang Yuze looked at the itinerary information shared on his phone and asked, "Why did he go to Ruihong last Thursday?"

"I asked around, and I heard that there was a minor problem with a project at Ruihong, and Chen Shiming happened to go over to take a look." Xiao Jiang said, "He only stayed at Ruihong for a whole morning, and soon returned to the company to get busy."

He then added: "As for Shengming's matter, many shareholders in the group prefer Chen Shiming to be the person in charge."

Jiang Yuze suddenly laughed, his tone a little cold: "That depends on him being able to attend the meeting tomorrow morning."

"What do you think those who attended the meeting would think of a person who couldn't even attend the meeting and couldn't present the proposal on the spot?"

Xiao Jiang was suddenly stunned, as if he didn't understand what Jiang Yuze said.

After he came out of Jiang Yuze's office, he suddenly saw Xiao Zhou coming out of the corridor near the conference room in a hurry. He even greeted him when he saw him.

"What's the hurry?" Xiao Jiang asked.

"Help the boss get something." Xiao Zhou held the documents in his hand and smiled apologetically: "Assistant Jiang, I have to get busy first, otherwise the boss will say something again later."

Xiao Jiang has seen this a lot in the past few days. Chen Qizhao's assistant is at best an errand boy. He also saw this person being instructed by Chen Qizhao to print things. He glanced at the end of the conference room and guessed that Xiao Zhou was probably in the office there. He didn't think much about it and quickly left his seat.

The Shengming acquisition meeting was scheduled for 9:30 in the morning. The shareholders attending the meeting had entered the meeting room one after another. The seats in the meeting room were gradually filled with people. Chen Jianhong, who was sitting in the chairman's seat, had already taken his seat. Jiang Yuze stood at the door of the meeting room, looking at the people who were gradually entering, and looked down at the real-time location on his mobile phone.

Time gradually passed to 9:25, and the conference room was basically full of people, but the place below the chairman's seat with Chen Shiming's name hanging on it was still empty.

"Strange? Where's Mr. Chen?"

"He probably hasn't come yet."

"That shouldn't be the case. Mr. Chen always arrives early for meetings and is rarely late."

Jiang Yuze came in from outside the meeting room, noticed Chen Jianhong's eyes, and walked over, "Boss Chen, I just asked someone to check, and Young Boss Chen is not in the company."

Chen Jianhong looked at Jiang Yuze, "He came out earlier than me this morning, why hasn't he arrived at the company yet?"

Jiang Yuze's expression remained unchanged. "I called, but Mr. Chen didn't answer."

Chen Jianhong said: "Go out and fight again."

Jiang Yuze took the order and left the meeting room. Standing in the corridor, he opened an app on his mobile phone. The real-time location shared by him showed that he stopped at a certain intersection. His eyes were indifferent, and then he deleted the programs in his phone, clearing all traces, and pretended to call Chen Shiming again.

But he knew that Chen Shiming would not come.

Jiang Yuze admired Chen Shiming very much, but Chen Shiming repeatedly ruined his plans. For his own benefit and General Lin's plan, he had to take action against Chen Shiming... This was also Chen Shiming's fault for not knowing what was good for him. If he had stopped, he wouldn't have ended up in the current situation.

He listened to the no response from the other end of the phone and stood at the door for five minutes before finally going in to report to Chen Jianhong.

It's already 9:30 and the meeting time is up.

The other people in the meeting room looked at a certain seat that was empty and looked towards Chen Jianhong who was in the chairman's seat, as if waiting for him to make a decision. Some senior executives were even more puzzled and asked around to find out what happened. After asking around, they found out that Chen Shiming had not arrived at the company since morning.

There was an important meeting on the Shengming acquisition this morning. Chen Shiming, the most likely candidate to be in charge, has not yet appeared at the group headquarters.

More and more people were criticizing secretly, while some people were gloating. They had been unhappy with Chen Shiming for a long time, and now Chen Shiming had not shown up yet when Shengming acquired such a big project. This meant that something that was originally a done deal might take a turn for the better. As long as their proposal received enough votes on the spot, it would be enough to snatch the project.

For a moment, Chen Jianhong remained silent, but others had already come up with new ideas.

Those who want to run for this project are very excited.

Jiang Yuze's gaze lingered on one of the candidates for a moment, then he quickly retracted his gaze and reminded, "Mr. Chen."

Chen Jianhong looked around, his serious face showing no extra emotions, but he was dragging time and walking backwards little by little.

"No way? Why hasn't Chen Shiming come yet?"

"This is not normal... Look, Mr. Chen's face has turned dark."

"Did something happen on the way?"

Finally, someone spoke.

"Mr. Chen, it's been more than 10 minutes..."

The man spoke up boldly: "Isn't it time to start this meeting?"

Chen Jianhong closed his eyes slightly, then opened them: "Then open them."

Hearing Chen Jianhong's agreement, Jiang Yuze laughed secretly in his heart, raised his hand to signal the person who was controlling the computer in the conference room, telling him to prepare to start the meeting. He glanced at Chen Jianhong, then looked at the other people in the meeting room, and then said, "Let's start today's meeting. The content of this meeting is..."

Chen Shiming did not arrive at the meeting room. Next, he just had to advance Sheng Ming's meeting process according to the plan, and let the people arranged in advance bring the ballots to the meeting room during the final voting session. Originally, with Chen Shiming present, some stubborn elements in the top leadership were difficult to shake. Now that Chen Shiming is not here, and he blatantly missed such a meeting without asking for leave, Chen Jianhong has no reason to convene this meeting again to pave the way for his son. The remaining people with voting rights must either abstain from voting or choose a new person in charge on the spot.

At this time, it becomes very important to bring votes and incite others. Jiang Yuze has made preparations in advance. As long as Chen Shiming is not present, everything can go according to his and General Lin's plan.

Just at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the conference room.

Jiang Yuze, with his back to the projection, was still reading the meeting draft. When he looked up, he suddenly noticed that everyone's eyes were on him. He was slightly surprised. His years of experience in presiding over meetings allowed him to remain calm and continue presiding over the meeting according to the script he had prepared in advance. However, this time, just after he read two sentences, the assistant closest to him suddenly pointed at the screen behind him with a trembling voice, "Assistant Jiang, look behind..."

Jiang Yuze was surprised when he heard that. He turned around and suddenly saw his figure appear on the huge projection in the conference room.

The PPT that was originally expected to display the acquisition process of Shengming was replaced by another PPT at some point. A photo was displayed in the full-screen presentation. There were two people in the photo, one was Jiang Yuze who was presiding over the meeting, and the other was a senior executive from Shengming Company.

Chen Jianhong glanced sideways and frowned. After seeing the content of the PPT, he looked directly at Jiang Yuze.

Chen Shiming had asked him to hold back before, but since Chen Shiming was late for today's meeting, he knew that the situation was going in the direction he and Chen Shiming had expected. According to the original plan, he only needed to calmly wait for the progress of the meeting and observe the reactions of others on the scene to determine who would benefit the most from the meeting and who was most likely to be involved...

But Chen Shiming did not tell him in advance that the PPT for this meeting would be changed to this, nor did he tell him about this plan.

Chen Jianhong's eyes darkened slightly, and his scrutinizing gaze fell on Jiang Yuze, and he saw Jiang Yuze's panic for a moment.

"Please wait a moment." Jiang Yuze's self-possessed and steady face finally changed at this time. He pressed the electronic pen in his hand, but he couldn't adjust the content of the PPT. He sternly rebuked Xiao Jiang who was controlling the computer, "What's going on? This is not the original content of the PPT."

"Mr. Chen, I will explain this matter to you later." Jiang Yuze explained a few words to Chen Jianhong.

Xiao Jiang frantically operated the computer, but he couldn't change the page no matter what he did. He explained with a trembling voice: "I can't move it... This computer seems to be infected."

The computer is infected! ? Chen’s network security center did not call the police, so how could there be any poisoning? ?

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other in bewilderment, and then someone suddenly said -

"Isn't this Assistant Jiang..."

"Who's the other one? He looks familiar."

There were many senior executives present who were investigating Sheng Ming. Especially since there had been turmoil in Sheng Ming's senior management a while ago, in order to reasonably evaluate and examine this project, they naturally had a certain investigation and understanding of each senior executive of Sheng Ming. Now seeing the photos on the screen, they suddenly spoke up.

"Isn't this Mr. Liang from Sheng Ming's side..."

After these words were spoken, everyone in the venue looked at Jiang Yuze. As a senior executive of Sheng Ming, Special Assistant Jiang is the highest-ranking assistant under Chairman Chen Jianhong. His words and deeds have a wide influence. They looked at Jiang Yuze, then at Chen Jianhong, noticed the look of surprise on Chen Jianhong's face, and then looked at Jiang Yuze one after another.

What's the meaning? Wasn't it Mr. Chen's wish for Special Assistant Jiang to meet with Mr. Sheng Mingliang?

So what's going on? This Shengming acquisition meeting should have nothing to do with Special Assistant Jiang...

As if worried that the people present might not understand the meaning of the photo, a strange electronic synthesized voice suddenly appeared in the conference room's speakers. The electronic voice, word by word, was weird and creepy, and it read out the small notes under the photo.

"On February 16, Jiang Yuze met with Sheng Ming and Liang Rongchao."

Jiang Yuze's eyes darkened slightly and he looked at Xiao Jiang at the control console with a warning look.

Xiao Jiang was just about to find the power source and planned to turn it off directly.

"Wait." Chen Jianhong suddenly said, "Let it play."

Questioning and puzzled looks came from all directions. Jiang Yuze remained calm and was about to explain when the video on the projection suddenly changed. It showed nothing but a car, and the license plate number was clearly captured. Everyone present knew whose car this was. Having been in and out of the company for so long, everyone knew Jiang Yuze’s cars. The car in the picture was Jiang Yuze’s car.

But after a while, the expedited vehicles gradually passed by, and when Jiang Yuze paid the parking fee and left the parking lot, the camera suddenly zoomed in and captured Jiang Yuze sitting in the driver's seat. This car was different from the black car that Jiang Yuze had driven originally, it was a white car.

At the same time, in an office at the Chen Group’s headquarters, Chen Qizhao was sitting at his desk, with the noisy sound of VX notifications still ringing on his desktop computer. But his eyes were fixed on the notebook in front of him. The program on half of the screen was still running, while the other half was exactly the same as the projection in the conference room not far away.

After a video was played, Chen Qizhao pressed the Enter key with ease.

In the conference room, that strange electronic synthesized sound rang out again.

"On February 18, Jiang Yuze changed vehicles in the underground parking lot of Feihong Business Building and went to Feicui Road Business Building."
