You could hear a pin drop in the study. Chen Shiming paused for a moment when he heard this. "Are you saying that it is possible to find the person who passed the message in the meeting room?"

"I just said there was a traitor, but I'm not sure if it was the one in the conference room." Chen Qizhao shook the pen holder, and a memory chip inside it shook a few times. "Someone has been following me for several days."

The voice on the phone was nonchalant, as if tracking was just a trivial matter in the eyes of the other party.

Chen Shiming's eyes suddenly darkened, and he said sternly: "Chen Qizhao, you should have told me earlier that someone was following you. Now is different from before. Who knows what Lin Shizhong will do. The people he is looking for are all desperate criminals..."

"The tracking time is quite long, which means he is suspicious of me and is investigating me." Chen Qizhao continued Chen Shiming's previous answer, "If you can't find anything on a person for a long time, with your shrewdness, would you just investigate him?"

Chen Shiming didn't say anything.

"You can't, and neither can Lin Shizhong."

Chen Qizhao put down the pen holder and said, "Who will they investigate? They will investigate people who are related to him and have contact with him. These people are reasonably within their suspicion and sight range. Let's not talk about those people wandering around outside taking pictures... Let's look at fixed locations, such as the group headquarters."

Chen Shiming frowned, "I will investigate you, and I will investigate me too."

He understood Chen Qizhao's intention: "You want to lure him out."

"You are too conspicuous. If we follow you and investigate you, it will be too easy to be exposed." Chen Qizhao continued, "If I were Lin Shizhong, I would not investigate you, but your assistants and the business you handled... But if you investigate me."

"Isn't there a person who is defenseless and very obvious?"

Late at night, in the dormitory building of the Ninth Institute.

The door opened.

Liu Sui was working on his thesis, his eyes blurred by the data. When he saw Shen Yuhuai coming back, he was surprised and said, "No, Yuhuai, why are you back at this time? I thought you went to live in the city."

"I have something to deal with." Shen Yuhuai put his backpack on the chair and glanced at Liu Sui's screen. "Has this part of the data not been sorted out yet?"

"No!" Liu Sui said painfully, "If only it were that easy."

Shen Yuhuai didn’t respond to him, took a pair of pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After coming out, he went to the water dispenser and poured a cup of warm water, then placed it on the table.

After finishing his business at the police station, Shen Yuhuai came back and read the memory card. After clicking it, it was full of photos of Chen Qizhao during this period. The time and regional span is very wide, including photos of schools, companies and even bars. Shen Yuhuai frowned slightly, took a sip of water, and flipped to the earliest photo in the memory card.

It was five days ago.

This person followed Chen Qizhao for five days.

Shen Yuhuai frowned slightly and flipped through the photos from beginning to end.

Liu Sui slid back on his chair, "Yu Huai, do you have a backup of the data you used last time in the dormitory? The one with A0123, I want to find some data for reference."

When he slid in front of Shen Yuhuai, he saw a photo page disappear in a flash.

"Oh my god, you're not looking at any female idols, are you?" Liu Sui suddenly became interested, "Let me see which goddess can make our Shen Xueba fall in love with her."

"There is no copy, is the draft data okay?" Shen Yuhuai said.

Liu Sui hesitated: "Why do I feel like you are trying to change the subject? Are you really looking at the female idol?"

Shen Yuhuai looked at him, "Do you want it?"

“Yes, yes, yes!” Liu Sui: “Draft data is fine too. I’ll go over there tomorrow to compare it.”

Shen Yuhuai took out a notebook from his backpack and gave it to him.

Liu Sui had just taken the notebook, but before he could hold it firmly, it was suddenly taken back.

Liu Sui: “?”

Shen Yuhuai: “Wait.”

Liu Sui watched Shen Yuhuai take the notebook back, and after turning to a certain page, he tore it off directly, and then turned the notebook to one of the pages, "What did you tear off?"

"Useless waste manuscript." Shen Yuhuai handed him the notebook: "This page is A0123."

Liu Sui watched him put the so-called useless manuscript into the book. Why didn't he throw away this useless manuscript?

He looked at Shen Yuhuai sharply: “Yuhuai, something is wrong with you tonight.”

Shen Yuhuai opened a certain document, and the unfolded information was densely packed.

Liu Sui got excited. "It's almost 12 o'clock now. You always went to bed at 11 o'clock in the past. Today you went back to the dormitory before the curfew. Now you're not sleeping but staying downstairs looking at unknown photos. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you're acting like a guilty thief."

Shen Yuhuai took a sip of water, “There will be an experiment at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning. If you go to deal with the paper now, you still have time to sleep for 5 hours.”

Liu Sui: "...You have calculated my work efficiency very accurately."

He turned around and walked away, but stopped after taking two steps: "If it's not a female idol, could it be a girlfriend?"

No one answered the question, and Liu Sui was about to leave in boredom.

Suddenly a voice sounded behind him.

Chen Yuhuai said: "Chasing."

Liu Sui was shocked: "Chasing someone?! I'll go!"

"Wait... I remember you seemed to be going to S University today. Damn, S University?!"

Shen Yuhuai glanced at the time, “It’s 12 o’clock, why aren’t you leaving?”

Liu Sui: “…”

"You aroused people's interest but then poured cold water on it."

After taking two steps, he came back and asked, "You really won't tell me?"

Shen Yuhuai said nothing and continued to read the document.

Seeing that this man was damn stubborn and he couldn't get any information out of him, Liu Sui had no choice but to go back and continue working on his paper.

When the sound of typing on the keyboard was heard on the other side, Shen Yuhuai opened the book and put the so-called "useless waste manuscript" into the folder in the drawer.

After finishing, he reopened the memory card.

The photo that caught my eye was of Chen Qizhao. He was sitting relaxed on the edge of the playground, with his hands casually placed on his legs, as if he had just screwed on a bottle cap. He tilted his head and talked to the classmate next to him. Shen Yuhuai's gaze stopped at the other person's face, which was slightly red due to exercise. He closed his eyes slightly and reached out to pick up the warm water next to him.

He closed the photo and reopened the document he had received from the laboratory.

The Chen family's aromatherapy, the bizarre channel for controlled substances... and the person who followed Chen Qizhao.

Chen Yuhuai's eyes deepened slightly, and then he entered a line of keywords on the web page.

There are tall buildings everywhere and the roads are crowded with cars.

Good morning.

Xiao Zhou was walking through the staff area with the coffee he had just bought. He greeted someone and yawned as he walked into the office. Then someone came knocking on the door with documents and asked about the matter. He brought a few documents from Feihong Company. He quickly specified the content of today's work, and then hurried out with the documents to print.

For some reason, his workload began to skyrocket these days, and more or less business fell on him.

The boss's instructions also became more complicated. He was either asked to run to Mr. Chen's office, or to go up and down the stairs to get documents frequently. The number of phone calls he made every day also gradually increased.

In the past two days, the boss has suddenly become more diligent in coming to the company. He comes to the company whenever he has no classes, but he doesn't do anything else. He either stays in the office reading documents with the loud VX notification tone on, or makes a phone call and quarrels with the person on the other end.

All this was like a sudden test, forcing Xiao Zhou to put a lot of thought into dealing with it and try his best to satisfy the boss.

"Xiao Zhou, come to my place later." Special Assistant Xu happened to be walking over here, and seeing this, he said, "I have something to give you."

Xiao Zhou responded with an "ok", then looked down at what was still being printed, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Zhou Zhu, are you on the 7th floor again?"

“Looks like a busy few days!”

There were a lot of people coming to the printing room, and they all greeted Xiao Zhou when they saw him.

Xiao Zhou made a few prevarication remarks, took the printed materials and ran to the boss's office. After delivering the things, he turned and went to Special Assistant Xu.

It is a fact that Chen Qizhao's makeshift team is short of people in the company, and the longer the time goes, the more people will discuss it.

Seeing the only assistant under Chen Qizhao busying around all day, especially when the workload increased, the employees' private discussions became heated.

The tea room was bustling with people coming and going.

"Has Assistant Zhou been to Mr. Chen's place often recently?"

"It could be another project. Didn't I hear that Mr. Chen wanted to support the second young master? Maybe Mr. Chen wanted to give him a project. How could he not be diligent?"

"That's true. I seemed to have seen Zhou Zhu go to Mr. Chen's place a few days ago. It seems that Mr. Chen has really valued the Second Young Master during this period."

"But the relationship between the Second Young Master and Mr. Chen is still not good. When I passed by yesterday, I heard the Second Young Master arguing with Mr. Chen on the phone. I heard that Mr. Chen wanted to poach Assistant Zhou to work in his department, but the Second Young Master refused."

A man poured instant coffee, listened to the whispered discussions in the tea room, and finally poured a little sugar into the coffee.

As the boiling hot water poured into the cup, the discussions around him revealed more and more information. He was like an employee taking a break as usual, using the time it took to drink a cup of coffee to collect information from all directions.

"That's not true. Assistant Zhou and Special Assistant Xu have been getting close recently."

"It seems Assistant Zhou went to Special Assistant Xu's place again just now. I wonder what they were discussing there."

"That's not right. I just heard someone ask Assistant Zhou to go to the 13th floor. Isn't there a meeting there today?"

The cup was steaming. The man stirred the coffee, then left the tea room and walked out the glass door.

The employee elevator was on the other side. He glanced at Chen Ershao's office not far away and was about to return to his workstation when he suddenly saw Xiao Zhou coming out of Chen Qizhao's office and walking towards the elevator.

He seemed to be thinking about something, and walked a few steps outside with his coffee. He leaned against the glass door and saw Xiao Zhou enter the elevator.

Did you really go to the 13th floor? Assistant Chen Qizhao has indeed been more active these days.

The man took a sip of coffee, his eyes fixed on the vague elevator number outside the glass, and then left the spot.

Inside Chen Shiming's office.

Special Assistant Xu entered the office with the documents and saw his boss watching the surveillance camera at his desk. He said, "Boss, I asked someone to take Xiao Zhou to the 13th floor. I left the door of the conference room open for him to go in and take notes of the meeting."

The boss didn't know what was wrong during this period. In the past, he would ask others to deliver documents to the second young master's office, and sometimes he would have to go through several people. But something was wrong three days ago. If there were any documents or important matters, Xiao Zhou would be asked to run errands directly. The most important thing was that the second young master didn't even get angry with his boss about this matter.

Special Assistant Xu has been tossing back and forth in this uncertain relationship between his boss and his boss's brother for a long time, and he is becoming increasingly unsure of his boss's thoughts.

At this time, the boss suddenly said: "No need, give Xiao Zhou half a day off."

Special Assistant Xu: “Ah?”

Chen Shiming looked at the surveillance camera on the floor where Chen Qizhao's office was located and noticed someone following Xiao Zhou out.

If it happens once, it is a coincidence, but if it happens many times, it is inevitable.
