Yan Kailin played two rounds of games. Seeing that Chen Qizhao was still sitting on the bed without moving, he was about to play two more rounds of games when he suddenly saw a WeChat message from his brother Yan Kaiqi pop up. He suddenly thought of something and immediately sat up straight: "Brother, take a book."

"What's wrong?" Chen Qizhao looked at him puzzled.

Yan Kailin randomly picked up two books from the desk, stuffed one into Chen Qizhao's hand, and took the other in his own hand, "Just pretend, I'll take a picture to deal with my brother."

He raised his phone to take a selfie with Chen Qizhao behind him, and after a click, he said, "My brother has been nagging me to study lately, and he said that if I don't study well, I should go back abroad and let my dad watch me. I took two photos and posted them on WeChat Moments to show off. I told him this morning that I came to your place to study."

Chen Qizhao: “…”

"Hey, I'm a college student now. Is it easy for a college student to play games? Do you think there is anyone who looks after his brother like this? I was just thinking of finding him a girlfriend to take care of him..." Yan Kailin finished posting on WeChat Moments and picked up his phone again with satisfaction, "Do you think workaholics like them don't have the heart to fall in love? Shi Ming is single too."

Chen Qizhao lowered his eyes, "Aren't you single too?"

Yan Kailin: "Ah, that's because I didn't like it."

Chen Qizhao put his phone aside and listened to Yan Kailin babble about how many pretty girls there were in school. He looked through the things in his mailbox and saw nothing new. He caught a glimpse of the book Yan Kailin had just brought over and suddenly remembered something. He said, "I'm going to the library."

"Ah?" Yan Kailin asked, "Why are we going to the library?"

Chen Qizhao: “Study.”

Coming to the library was inevitable for Chen Qizhao, not to study, but to look up some information.

The collection of books in the library of S University is second only to that of the library of S City. Some information that is difficult to find on the Internet is also briefly mentioned in the library. He searched for some book information on the Internet, and finally had to come to the library to take a look.

According to the partial confession of the driver Lao Lin, there are actually still many doubts about the aromatherapy. According to his confession, he did not change the aromatherapy privately. It was just that the strange number he communicated with told him that the special aromatherapy box would have a special mark, and he just put the aromatherapy with the special mark on Chen Jianhong's car.

Chen Qizhao also had someone investigate, and found that the identification code engraved on the bottom box of the problematic aromatherapy had one more digit than that of other aromatherapy products. They followed up with the aromatherapy shop, but the aromatherapy shop denied that these things came from their store. There was no evidence in this matter, so the suspicion returned to the aromatherapy shop and the aromatherapy shop delivery staff, and the clue was cut off.

After all, he was not a related major, so if he wanted to look up questions about aromatherapy, he could only go to the library to look up information about the compound, the production process of aromatherapy... and see if there were any clues that he had missed.

There are a lot of people in the library recently. Chen Qizhao went to the relevant book area to look for two books, but couldn't find a seat. Finally, he thought of a place.

The library area nearby was where Shen Yuhuai had brought him last time, and there were still several empty seats by the window, but the seats where they sat last time were already occupied by students.

Chen Qizhao found a seat near the inside and sat down, putting a few books aside.

He didn't like coming to the library before. When he was studying in his previous life, he loved to play. He would either go out with Cheng Rong and others, or stay alone in the dormitory reading professional books.

At that time, he had good grades and did whatever he wanted relying on his abilities. Some of these skills were accumulated during college... He was carefree at that time and learned things very quickly. Others praised him for being smart, but he actually thought he was stupid because he couldn't see through people.

As soon as he turned the page, the person who came to his mind was Shen Yuhuai who sat opposite him last time.

His eyes were slightly startled, and the pen in his hand turned a circle. The other person's beautiful hand seemed to be right in front of him.

Chen Qizhao put down his pen, opened his hand and looked at his palm.

There was a deep meaning hidden in his calm and indifferent eyes. He opened and closed them, but couldn't find any similarities with his hands. He felt like something was missing.

In the Ninth Research Institute, Shen Yuhuai sat in the lounge with a cup of coffee and two unread books in front of him. Sitting opposite him was Liu Sui, who was typing away on his paper, in stark contrast to Shen Yuhuai's leisurely demeanor.

"Sometimes I really envy geniuses like you. Seeing you have so much free time, I really envy you and want to hit you." Liu Sui angrily drank a sip of Coke, and then said, "Don't drag me to S University during the break today. I must finish writing this part."

"Okay." Shen Yuhuai responded briefly, and then turned the page in his hand.

"I noticed that you've been going to S University quite often recently. If you don't eat at the institute cafeteria, you'll go to the S University cafeteria. Last time, you even had the sudden idea of ​​going to a food stall for a late-night snack. Didn't you rarely eat late-night snacks before?"

Liu Sui recalled that one day they were busy in the laboratory until late, and everyone else went to the dormitory to rest. He wanted to order some takeout, but Shen Yuhuai actually suggested going to S University to eat at a food stall.

As a result, when he arrived at the place and ordered something, he was the only one eating in the end, and Shen Yuhuai was looking at his phone next to him.

"Is Qizhao very busy recently?" Liu Sui asked, "He didn't come to the food stall last time. College students are so good. When I was an undergraduate, I had a rich nightlife. But he is so honest. When he came to a big melting pot like a university, he must have been drinking all night with the club..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuhuai raised his head slightly and glanced at Liu Sui, “Are you not going to write your paper today?”

"Writing, isn't it just a few words?" Liu Sui sighed, and glanced at the books next to Chen Yuhuai's desk. "You are so free, why are you reading these psychology books?"

He was halfway through his speech when he saw Shen Yuhuai standing up with a book in his hand.

Shen Yuhuai: “I’ll change the lounge.”

Liu Sui: “……!”

Shortly after leaving the lounge, Shen Yuhuai received several text messages about the last aromatherapy inspection report. Because there were controlled substances, he used Shen Xuelan's connections to look into the ownership of the controlled substances. Apart from government agencies, there were only a handful of pharmaceutical companies that circulated these controlled substances on the market in S City. They were generally used for research or special purposes, and private purchase was simply not possible.

"Are these the only companies we found?" Shen Yuhuai asked.

The person on the other end of the phone said, "Yes, all the company information has been sent to your mailbox as you requested."

"Okay, I'll trouble you to check something later."

Shen Yuhuai hesitated slightly, and he quickly skipped over the information. He could find these things, and the Chen family should be able to find them as well. However, from what Shen Xuelan said, it seems that the matter of Chen family aromatherapy has not yet been completely concluded, so it is very likely that no problems were found on the controlled items.

The companies listed in the information are all well-known companies in the market and there are no other problems.

When he thought of this, he suddenly changed his route and headed in another direction.

"You mean to ask how the compound can be extracted last time? There are many ways." The brother being asked hesitated for a while, "But no one should go through such a big detour to extract these things, because it requires professional equipment... and the cost is too high. It's completely unnecessary."

Shen Yuhuai thought for a moment, “Okay, I understand.”

The senior brother thought of something and handed a book next to him to Shen Yuhuai, “Oh, by the way, if you go to S University recently, please help me return the book.”

He smiled wryly as he looked at the pile of work around him, "I've been a bit busy lately, and I really can't get away."

"Okay." Shen Yuhuai took his book, and there was one more book accumulated in his hand.

After he left the office, he swiped the screen of his mobile phone and found that the conversation with Chen Qizhao stopped two days ago.

As for the matter of controlled items, we should wait until the results are found out before notifying him.

Shen Yuhuai's eyes sank slightly, and he clicked on Chen Qizhao's circle of friends first. The other party had not posted any circle of friends recently. After he quit his circle of friends, he originally wanted to quit vx, but suddenly remembered something and found Yan Kailin from his contacts.

I clicked on Yan Kailin’s Moments and noticed a photo he posted 2 hours ago.

The background of the picture is Chen Qizhao’s dormitory. Yan Kailin took a photo of the books on the table and also of Chen Qizhao sitting on the bed holding a book. The latter was not looking at the camera and was indeed holding a book in his hand, but the screen of the mobile phone placed next to him seemed to be still on.

A **photo.

Shen Yuhuai smiled silently and clicked a like on Yan Kailin’s circle of friends.

After exiting the Moments, he switched back and saved the photo of Yan Kailin on his phone.

Shen Yuhuai glanced at the book in his hand, and finally sent a message to Chen Qizhao.

He remembered that the other party had no classes tonight and should be able to come out for dinner.

When S University arrived, Chen Qizhao still hadn't replied.

Shen Yuhuai closed the car door and moved his hand slightly upwards, and all the recent chat records with Chen Qizhao were in sight.

The response time is slow.

Shen Yuhuai opened the address book and made a call.

After a few seconds, a reply came over the voice communication.

--'Hello, the number you dialed is turned off. '

Shen Yuhuai hung up the phone, and the fireworks background that flashed across the main screen of his phone was suddenly turned off, and he put the phone in his pocket.

The sky is getting darker and night seems to be approaching.

Shen Yuhuai entered the library and returned a few books at the front desk. After completing the formalities, he went up to the third floor and walked towards the familiar area.

But when he passed the rows of bookshelves and turned into the reading area, he paused for a moment.

Chen Qizhao didn't know when his phone ran out of battery and turned off. When he wanted to send a message to Xiao Zhou to ask him to do something, he noticed that the phone could no longer be turned on. He pinched his brows. Actually, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack to start from the aromatherapy production process. First of all, the production process of the aromatherapy shop was its industry secret, involving all the employees of the aromatherapy shop. It was possible that people in the aromatherapy shop were involved, or it was possible that other employees imitated the aromatherapy shop's craftsmanship to manufacture or replace it.

The method of looking for a needle in a haystack is not feasible, but at least it is certain that this matter is related to Lin Shizhong.

But I didn’t find any direct relationship between the aromatherapy shop and Lin Shizhong…

Chen Qizhao thought about related things aimlessly and packed his things on the table into his backpack.

At this moment his hand paused slightly, and he suddenly thought of a question.

Why did Zhang Yazhi go to that aromatherapy shop?

Regardless of whether there is a problem with the aromatherapy shop, if someone wants to make the same problematic aromatherapy, he must be someone who is very familiar with this aromatherapy shop. His original idea of ​​investigation was that Lin Shizhong knew that Zhang Yazhi often went to this aromatherapy shop, so he asked someone to make and replace it specially.

But why this aromatherapy shop? The prerequisite for all these situations to be true is that the other party must make Zhang Yazhi buy the aromatherapy from this store.

The aromatherapy at home was changed to the one from this aromatherapy store two years ago. Before that, Zhang Yazhi bought the aromatherapy at random from many stores.

The problematic aromatherapy may have appeared in the last year, connected to his previous life, and will continue for several years until his parents have health problems. Changing stores for a long time may cause information asymmetry, packaging problems, and differences in production processes, which may lead to Zhang Yazhi or Chen Jianhong discovering problems with the aromatherapy, so the best way is to let Zhang Yazhi buy from this store regularly.

In other words, they are familiar with this store and can make "aromatherapy" that is exactly similar in appearance and there is no obvious problem.

Secondly, they needed to get Zhang Yazhi to go to this store to make the purchase, and develop Zhang Yazhi into a long-term customer of this store, know in advance what flavor of aromatherapy Zhang Yazhi wanted to buy, and then replace the driver, in order to implement this perfect plan.

There’s no way that aromatherapy shop has no problems…and the person who asked Zhang Yazhi to go to this aromatherapy shop also has a problem.

Lao Lin is just the last link for the precise target.

This needs to be checked.

Chen Qizhao realized the problem, and just as he held the phone, he remembered that it was out of battery.

He quietly zipped up his schoolbag, and suddenly a book was placed on the table opposite him.

Chen Qizhao’s hand paused for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw Shen Yuhuai quietly pulling out a chair and sitting down opposite him.

The movement to leave stopped.

Chen Qizhao's gaze stopped at Shen Yuhuai's face. After pausing for two seconds, he asked silently, "Why are you here?"

Shen Yuhuai didn’t say anything, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the books next to Chen Qizhao, but he wrote a line on the notebook and pushed it over.

[-I came to the library to return a book and happened to see you. Are you planning to leave? 】

Chen Qizhao took it and wrote.

[-I was planning to leave, but my phone is out of battery. 】

After a while, the power bank and charging cable were placed on the laptop and pushed in front of Chen Qizhao.

Men have long fingers, especially their index and middle fingers.

Just like in the dream, beautiful and delicate joints.

It’s cold and I want to touch it in my hands.

Chen Qizhao lowered his eyes and saw the words on the notebook.

[-Use this first if you are in a hurry. I remember your phone model is the same as mine. 】

Chen Qizhao had no reason to leave, so he picked up the power bank to charge his phone, and looked up to see Shen Yuhuai, who was sitting opposite him, had already turned the page of the book.

The scene suddenly brought back the last time when the two of them sat face to face studying.

But now that the same scene had happened, Chen Qizhao felt a little distracted. His eyes paused for a moment, not sure whether he was looking at the phone that was charging, or at Shen Yuhuai's handwriting on the notebook.

The surroundings were quiet. Shen Yuhuai held the pages of the book with his fingers, looking at Chen Qizhao who was lowering his head opposite him with a slightly higher vision, and was reluctant to turn the page.

When the boy lowers his head, you can see a small whorl of hair forming on his slightly soft hair.

If you look further down, you can easily see his loose collar and the protruding collarbone around it.

Shen Yuhuai retracted his gaze.

Neither of them communicated anymore, one was reading a book and the other was waiting for his phone to charge.

I don’t know how long it took, the phone turned on, Chen Qizhao opened VX and immediately sent a message to Xiao Zhou, and after editing the message and sending it, he came back to check the message interface and noticed the message that Shen Yuhuai sent him 40 minutes ago.

Chen Qizhao typed and replied to the message.

-[My phone ran out of battery just now, so I didn’t see it. ]

At this time, the screen of the mobile phone that Shen Yuhuai placed on the table lit up.

Chen Qizhao glanced over and seemed to see the other person's mobile phone screen.

The next second Shen Yuhuai picked up the phone.

There are replies in the chat interface.

—[Chen Yuhuai: Will you go then? ]

The Chen Group has been very active recently, especially the other issues left behind by Jiang Yuze, which are all key targets of observation. In addition, the list in Chen Shiming's hand has found several employees who have misconducted, and those with serious circumstances have been submitted to the legal department for prosecution... Special Assistant Xu assists his superiors in solving problems during these busy days, and is often so busy that he can't be found.

Xiao Zhou handled the non-macro business that he was in charge of quite well, especially after the business got on track in recent period. He had less work to do, so he had to run errands for his superiors or do some investments according to his boss's arrangements. The most important thing is investment. After he took over part of the work from Special Assistant Xu, he found out that his boss also invested in the entertainment industry. The artists he signed before were thriving and the dividends they brought were very considerable.

When these things were handed over to him, he dared not mess up, and he handled every matter very properly, for fear that some small problem might arise.

There has been a lot of commotion in the company recently, and there were layoffs a while ago, so things have to be done well. Not long after he walked out of the office, he passed by the tea room and saw several people gathered together for a discussion. A few young employees saw him and came up to greet him enthusiastically.

Xiao Zhou has seen this kind of situation a lot recently.

It seems that because the rumor that Mr. Chen favors his boss has spread in the company recently, and even plans to hand over several subsidiaries to his boss, more and more people are trying to get close to him. After all, his boss's team was still a makeshift one. Compared to Mr. Chen's team of assistants, which were full of elites, his boss only had him as an assistant...

Before, these people had discussed his boss's temper in a low voice, and had many complaints about his boss's changeable personality, and before, Mr. Chen had not been very partial to him. But now, when they saw what Mr. Chen was doing, they no longer discussed the boss's temper, but came to him more to inquire about the boss's preferences.

Xiao Zhou just dealt with it in a perfunctory manner. He didn't dare to say a word in front of the boss, nor would he mention the boss in front of these people.

However, the boss doesn't seem to be as concerned about the company recently as before. He has asked him to check some pharmaceutical companies. He is wondering whether the boss is planning to give up the entertainment industry and invest in the medical industry. What's even more strange is that the boss told him not to mention this matter in the company and even forbade him to use public printers or other company equipment.

Just before getting off work, Xiao Zhou suddenly received a message from his boss. After taking a look at it, he took a detour to the elevator.

The elevator arrived soon and he pressed the button to go to Chen Shiming's office floor.

Just as the elevator door closed, someone came out from the corner, looked at the last floor the elevator stopped at, and then turned and left.

"It will take a longer time to investigate this matter. The collection of evidence and the follow-up of related issues, as well as Uncle Lin's confession and related evidence may take time to analyze." Chen Shiming had a headache. The driver, Lao Lin, was obviously insane. Despite his mental problems, he provided two clues about the mastermind behind the incident. One was a cell phone recording and the other was a photo.

The recording contains phone call recordings, which are evidence of strangers contacting him over the years.

The photo is very strange and blurry. It shows a person talking to someone in a black car. The license plate of the car is not in the photo, and the person's face is not in the photo. We can only tell the model of the car, but we have no idea what the photo means.

Reviewing recordings and analyzing photos are what needs to be done at this stage.

"From the interrogation, we can see that Lao Lin seems to be very sure that the person behind him is a lunatic, and he probably knows who this person is. But considering his interpersonal relationships and voice, we didn't find such a person in his social circle." Chen Shiming explained: "The only clues left are these two. Given Lao Lin's current mental state, it is difficult for us to ask him anything else. We can only check photos and phone recordings."

"But one thing is certain, judging from the information we have obtained from the group so far," Chen Shiming affirmed, "Lin's is indeed closely related, and there is one thing... The location where this photo was taken seems to be Yunning Road near the Lin Group, but Lin Shizhong does not own this model of car, so we cannot connect the photo to Lin Shizhong."

A vague piece of evidence.

Chen Jianhong frowned slightly. He suddenly felt dizzy for a moment and opened the drawer to take out the blood pressure medicine.

Chen Shiming looked at him worriedly, "Dad?"

"It's okay, my blood pressure is just a little high."

Chen Jianhong said: "You continue to investigate."

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

Chen Shiming called for someone to come in, and Assistant Xu came in and said, "Boss, Xiao Zhou said that they might have to re-investigate the matter of the aromatherapy shop."

After Assistant Xu finished speaking, Chen Shiming frowned slightly: "I really need to ask Mom about this matter."

"Let's go back and ask her tonight." Chen Jianhong took blood pressure medicine with the water, and then said: "But it may be a little later. She is going to a party tonight and may be back home very late."

In a high-end hotel in the center of S City, ladies in formal dresses were walking around.

Zhang Yazhi was holding a glass of champagne and talking to her little sister. She caught a glimpse of the movement at the entrance and paused to ask, "Is there anyone coming over there?"

"It should be Madam Gu, right?" said the noblewoman in a green dress. "You haven't come out for a while. Haven't you heard that someone from the Gu family in Beijing is coming? The host has invited Madam Gu tonight. We'll go over and talk to her later."

Zhang Yazhi had heard of this Mrs. Gu, "Then let's talk about it later."

"You've been worried a lot lately." The lady continued, "Since you're out here to relax, don't keep holding your anger in."

As Zhang Yazhi talked to her, she felt a little more relaxed.

The two of them chatted and didn't join in the fun over there.

After a while, Mrs. Jiang, who hosted the dinner, came over with a beautiful woman in a black dress.

Mrs. Jiang was very enthusiastic and introduced the beautiful woman, "This is Zhang Yazhi, the wife of Mr. Chen Jianhong."

Zhang Yazhi raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Gu in front of her, clinking her glasses slightly in greeting, "Hello."

"Ms. Zhang, I've heard people mention you." Mrs. Gu said gracefully.

After clinking glasses, the two chatted for a while and quickly became familiar with each other.

Mrs. Gu suddenly noticed the jade ornament on Zhang Yazhi's neck, and her eyes paused: "Ms. Zhang, this jade ornament is really beautiful in color."

Zhang Yazhi lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the necklace around her neck, and smiled: "Really? It's a gift from my child."
