The lively music continued by the swimming pool. Among the young people who were having more and more fun, there was a man sitting on a beach chair by the swimming pool, looking at the excitement on the opposite side from afar. The man in blue casual clothes shook the champagne and his eyes fell steadily on Chen Qizhao who was sitting on the sofa across the swimming pool.

Yan Kailin didn't want to mess around in front of other people's cameras, so he pulled Chen Qizhao to sit on the sofa and greeted the people who came. He saw some little stars flirting with each other not far away, "Why are these people always flirting with us?"

"Maybe I'm interested in you." Chen Qizhao lowered his head and picked through the photos sent by Yan Kailin. He chose one that was pretty good and hesitated a little at the sending interface.

Yan Kailin looked over and asked, "Brother, what are you doing? Posting to your Moments? What did you post?"

Chen Qizhao's fingers paused for a moment, and when sending the message, he checked the box so that only Chen Yuhuai could see it, and then said, "Not sent."

Yan Kailin glanced at his circle of friends in disbelief, but he really didn't see anything posted by Chen Qizhao. He was wondering, when suddenly he saw a person not far away walking straight towards them.

"Kailin, long time no see." The man sat down next to him, and the beautiful woman who came with him sat down next to Chen Qizhao very comfortably.

Chen Qizhao, who was on the friend circle interface, raised his eyes slightly and saw a beautiful woman shaking a champagne glass beside him. He didn't say anything, but looked at the man who was communicating with Yan Kailin.

After taking a look, he remembered who this person was.

The relationship between the Sun family and the Chen family is just average. They have no business dealings and don't have much contact in daily life. But the Sun family and the Lin family are not ordinary. The transportation lines of some of the Lin family's products are run by the Sun family. The two families have cooperated several times, and the relationship between the Sun family and the Lin family is pretty good.

"Qizhao." Young Master Sun raised his glass slightly.

Chen Qizhao didn't say anything, but didn't refuse either, and clinked glasses with him.

With just this clink of glasses, the champagne glass was empty, and Chen Qizhao raised his glass towards Young Master Sun.

Young Master Sun stopped sipping his drink and had no choice but to finish it as well. "Qizhao can drink quite well."

Chen Qizhao and Yan Kailin were originally sitting on the sofa here. When they saw Young Master Sun coming over, a few people who had always wanted to come up and chat also followed over, and gradually a few people gathered around the sofa. Cheng Rong was originally walking with his girlfriend, but when he saw Yan Kailin having fun, he came over to join in the fun.

Young Master Sun mingled among them, watching Chen Qizhao clinking glasses with Yan Kailin and drinking next to him.

Once things get lively here, drinking table games start. Now that Young Master Sun has come over here, it would be inappropriate for him to leave at this time.

It was just this one participation. Young Master Sun's relationship with Cheng Rong was usually just that. He had attended Cheng Rong's drinking parties a few times and knew how crazy this group of people were when playing games. But this kind of game is just like that after all, more people don't necessarily mean more people will drink.

After everyone rolled the dice and made their decision, Young Master Sun just observed Chen Qizhao in silence.

When he looked at Chen Qizhao, he found that Chen Qizhao was occasionally looking at him, his eyes were clear and clear, and occasionally he avoided his gaze.

"It's boring to drink this little." Chen Qizhao, "How about blowing the bottle?"

Yan Kailin loves the excitement: "Okay!"

Chen Qizhao looked at Master Sun, "Master Sun, is this okay?"

"Okay." Young Master Sun came here for Chen Qizhao this time. Sometimes it is always easier to talk when you are drunk, and playing games is also his chance. He kept looking at Chen Qizhao from time to time, and every time it was Chen Qizhao's turn to call, he would find a way to open his dice.

But he soon discovered that these were just his illusions, because every time the dice were opened, he was always the unlucky side. The key point is that this group of people play big, and if he loses, he will be faced with a whole bottle of champagne next to him.

"Why are you so slow in drinking?!" Yan Kailin said dissatisfiedly.

Liu Kai also joined in the fun, "Young Master Sun, how much is this? You can't afford it, right?"

Young Master Sun noticed Chen Qizhao.

Chen Qizhao didn't say anything, but looked at him calmly.

As if noticing his gaze, he raised his glass slightly and said, "Drink."

After several rounds, Master Sun learned his lesson and stopped taking the initiative to touch Chen Qizhao.

It's just that he didn't take the initiative to touch it, but Cheng Rong and others chased him and drove away, and in the end he became the one who drank for no reason. Before he could get Chen Qizhao drunk, he vomited first.

The excitement by the pool was seen by a man sitting on a beach chair not far away.

He shook his wine glass and watched Young Master Sun being helped to the side to vomit, his expression did not change.

Among the noisy crowd, his sight stopped at the young master of the Chen family who was talking to Yan Kailin in the middle. He saw that he was shaking the wine glass skillfully and drinking in a lazy posture, and it was obvious that he was having fun with the group of people around him.

Silently, the cell phone next to him lit up.

The man answered the phone, drank his wine and listened to the voice of the person on the phone. His eyes narrowed slightly, "Tonight? Then send a car to pick me up."

"Now I am? I just happened to be at the party and saw Chen Qizhao." The man retracted his gaze and put down the champagne in his hand. "I didn't see anything. Chen Qizhao did get along well with this group of people."

"Yeah?"

The man loosened his collar slightly, "That might be my illusion."

By the pool.

"There's something wrong with this guy surnamed Sun. He fired us twice and even instigated us to fire you. Did he think we couldn't see the situation?" Liu Kai saw people go out to vomit, and gloated: "He doesn't know how to play, but he is good at targeting."

Yan Kailin said: "I was wondering why he kept looking at me."

"I've been organizing the party for so long, can't I tell who is targeting me?" Cheng Rong has been on good terms with Chen Qizhao recently. Last time, Chen Qizhao even helped him and Liu Kai with a small favor. "Drinking is just for fun. It's boring to target people."

"Really? Didn't you have a good time? It's a pity that he's gone."

Chen Qizhao finished his champagne and kicked the dice at his feet under the sofa while pouring the wine. He glanced at the beach chair opposite and saw a man standing up from the chair.

They were playing games here just now, and there were quite a few people watching curiously nearby. It was indeed not easy to be discovered by blending in with the people watching the game and looking at them blatantly. The man opposite seemed to be drinking, but in fact he looked at them very frequently, as if he was always watching them.

Chen Qizhao couldn't help but concentrate.

If it had happened before, Lin Shizhong would most likely have attacked him like he did last time.

He came here on a whim, and even if Lin Shizhong wanted to make arrangements, it would be too late. Moreover, this party was not hosted by him, and there were too many uncontrollable factors. Lin Shizhong is now busy cleaning up the mess and has no time to deal with another controversial matter, especially one involving a large number of people.

It's just that he was curious, and there were too many people following him.

Lin Shizhong is indeed smart, but he would not arrange too many people to follow him at this critical moment. This would alert the enemy too much and make the Chen family vigilant. There is a Chen Liyao in the company, and there was someone in the school before, and now someone from the Sun family is coming... Adding the sight in the dark, he always feels that this matter is a bit strange.

Is it necessary to assign so many people to investigate him?

What went wrong?

"I'm going to the bathroom." Chen Qizhao said.

Yan Kailin was having a great time with others and just waved when he heard this.

Chen Qizhao walked towards the bathroom, always paying attention to the sights following him. When he reached the bathroom, some sights suddenly stopped. When he entered the bathroom, he unexpectedly saw a beautiful woman supporting the young master of the Sun family, who was holding the door of the toilet cubicle and vomiting into the bathroom.

He washed his hands slowly and looked through the mirror at the disheveled Young Master Sun behind him.

Suddenly I remembered something I saw unexpectedly in my previous life. Lin Shizhong liked to take advantage of people and also loved to stir up conflicts among others. The Sun family did have a decent relationship with the Lin family, but Lin Shizhong was just using the other party's channels. After the Chen family went bankrupt, Lin Shizhong established his own channels, and the Sun family was kicked aside in the blink of an eye, and ended up with an ugly ending.

Because it involved some illegal transportation, Lin Shizhong got away with it cleanly, but the Sun family not only got sued, but also went bankrupt later. At that time, Lin Shizhong didn't even see them, let alone lend a helping hand. He even stepped on them secretly several times. In short, it was a very ugly situation.

Chen Qizhao had heard about the Sun family once or twice in his previous life, so his memory of the family was not very deep.

Lin Shizhong has too many methods, including the vicious competition methods he is using now, devouring opponents to strengthen himself. He has always been like this, strategizing with a wave of his hand and finally becoming the biggest winner.

The beautiful woman couldn't support Young Master Sun by herself, so when she saw Chen Qizhao, she looked at him for help.

Chen Qizhao didn't even look at it. After washing his hands, he wiped them with a tissue, looked at the embarrassed man kneeling on the ground with interest, and finally threw the tissue into the trash can and left the bathroom.

-*

At 12 o'clock late in the night, the man at the table finished drinking the warm water in his hand and opened his mobile phone.

The message on the interface was still the previous conversation. Below the email he sent was attached with Chen Qizhao's brief reply. He stared at it for a moment, and when he scrolled through the updates, he noticed that Chen Qizhao's circle of friends had been updated an hour ago.

[-Zhao: Recently [Photo]]

He had seen a similar photo in Yan Kailin’s circle of friends not long ago, but this photo and angle were more realistic than the previous one. Shen Yuhuai clicked a like on the friend circle, and when he returned to the dynamics, he suddenly noticed a new message popping up in the message list.

Shen Yuhuai opened the address book and made a call directly.

After the call was connected, he asked, "Haven't you rested yet?"

"You haven't slept yet?" Yan Kaiqi's voice came from the receiver. "Then I'll tell you about the controlled items. You asked me to check the customs before. I checked the channels for you and there's nothing suspicious. But there's one thing I can remind you of. I looked at the agencies and companies you gave me and found that two of them have cooperation with Beijing."

"The capital?" Shen Yuhuai hesitated.

Considering the route for extracting controlled substances, he checked the large equipment and raw materials that needed to be extracted. This was not difficult to check, so he listed the institutions in S City that had registered to own the large equipment, and simply found the company behind the institution.

It's just that some of these institutions are foreign companies and involve relevant overseas channels, so he asked Yan Kaiqi for help in this matter. The Yan family has a wider overseas market, and it is easier for them to check some things than him, but it is obvious that the overseas line is broken.

"It's basically impossible overseas. The inspections in S City are strict. I will help you focus on the domestic market."

Yan Kaiqi said: "I checked their business. The two companies with strange backgrounds are those that cooperated with Beijing. I want to tell you something else. The information of these two companies is very strange. They are legal and compliant, but I can't find out which company they cooperated with. This means that someone is helping. It's hard to check if you want to, and it's easy to be exposed."

"So the focus is not on S City...but on Beijing." Shen Yuhuai asked: "Can't you find other public information?"

"We can't find anything that's out there, but I think you know, if it's something in S City, do you think the Chen family can't find it?" Yan Kaiqi said with a smile, "Chen Shiming is smart, he will definitely check things like dangerous compounds, but I don't think he's thinking as deeply as you do. After all, apart from professionals like you, who would think of using equipment to extract something so laborious."

Shen Yuhuai didn’t say anything, but was thinking about something.

"But I thought about it carefully, maybe you are overthinking it." Yan Kaiqi explained: "Businessmen pursue profits. According to what you said, it takes a lot of effort to extract this kind of thing. It's too much... a waste of effort to extract a small amount of something to make a problematic aromatherapy. This inexplicably increases the cost, and the possibility of extraction is not great. We have to find a skilled technician."

Shen Yuhuai suddenly said: "What if... it is not just extracted this time."

Yan Kaiqi was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"This type of compound is harmful to the human body, but its uses are not limited to this. It is also used in the industrial chain of other industries. You are right. Extraction is indeed laborious. I assume that such technology is mature. For the user, he thinks that the extraction method is safer than buying it on the market, so he chooses extraction." Shen Yuhuai pondered for a moment, "Of course I am just guessing."

There are so many things that can be done... From the funds needed to operate the equipment to the raw materials, if you really want to build such an industrial chain, you must have very mature technical personnel and operation systems. Things that cannot be found in the open will only be more dirty behind the scenes.

"Your guess is too scary." Yan Kaiqi became alert and said, "If what you said is true, then someone is doing these things in secret without registration. With a mature industrial chain, who knows what they are doing with these things."

In the room, Shen Yuhuai said calmly: “So I hope this is just my guess.”

He said, "After you send me the information, you don't need to check the rest. I'll think of a solution."

If this matter involves too many aspects, then asking Yan Kaiqi to investigate will only put the other party in danger.

At first he did not think too much about it, thinking that it was just a deliberate targeting by an enemy of the Chen family. However, as recent events gradually expanded, the matter of aromatherapy became more and more complicated, and there were more people following and secretly photographing Chen Qizhao. He always felt that there was an inexplicable big hand standing behind them, which might reach out to the Chen family at any time.

"Yu Huai, now that you've said this, I'll help you investigate." Yan Kaiqi stretched, "Besides, this is the Chen family's business. Our family also owes the Chen family a favor for Kailin falling into the water when he was a child. If Chen Qizhao hadn't been there, Kailin would have been dead by the time the two of us arrived."

Yan Kaiqi recalled that when he and Shen Yuhuai arrived, he saw Chen Qizhao holding Yan Kailin tightly, and the two of them were lying on the side of the boat, and he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. His brother Yan Kailin couldn't swim at all and sank as soon as he entered the water. He didn't know where Chen Qizhao got the strength to lift him up.

Thinking of this, he felt a little disappointed. "Then I won't disturb your rest for now. I'll tell you the rest tomorrow. I have to go and bring that brat back now. He has learned to lie after not seeing me for a few days."

Shen Yuhuai heard: "What?"

"What can I do? He took a bunch of photos to lie to me, and told me that he was studying at school with Chen Qizhao, but he went to a pool party and drank with people, and brought women with him." Yan Kaiqi didn't want to care so much, but when he saw the photos of Yan Kailin drinking with people and his face flushed, and there were two or three sexy beauties around him, "If I don't care about him, he will definitely cause trouble for me the next day."

Chen Yuhuai paused for a moment, "Who are you going with?"

Yan Kaiqi said angrily, "Who else can I follow? Chen Qizhao. This is the first time I know that studying can make you swim like a swimming pool. Even if I were to swim in the sea of ​​books, I would never swim like this with him."

"No more talking, I'll go take a look first."

Shen Yuhuai suddenly asked, “Are you at home?”

Yan Kaiqi paused and asked, "Yes, what's the matter?"

Late at night, when Shen Xuelan came out of the study, she heard noises outside the house.

She yawned and walked to the window, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Shen Yuhuai's car driving out of the garage, her eyebrows slightly frowned, "In the middle of the night... Is there a problem in the laboratory?"

The road is very quiet at night.

The direction of Yan's house was just on the way, so Chen Yuhuai went to Yan Kaiqi's residence to pick him up, and then navigated according to the address provided by the other party. After getting in the car, Yan Kaiqi said, "You seem to sleep very lately. You still have time to come out with me at this time."

Shen Yuhuai saw Yan Kaiqi’s tired look, “Next time you go out late at night, it’s better to call a driver.”

"I was planning to call someone, but now that you're here I'll just let it go." Yan Kaiqi, "I'd also like to trouble you to come out and be my driver, but I can just call a driver."

When the car reached the traffic light, Yan Kaiqi was still chattering to Shen Yuhuai about Yan Kailin.

Shen Yuhuai said at the right time: “At this age, people are playful, and sometimes you can just ignore it.”

Yan Kaiqi was furious: "Look at this photo, can you just ignore it?"

The photos in the phone are from Moments, and should have been taken by one of Yan Kaiqi’s friends.

Shen Yuhuai glanced over and saw Yan Kailin blowing into the bottle on the sofa by the swimming pool, Chen Qizhao sitting next to him with champagne in his hand, the sofa looked a little crowded, and the thighs of the people next to him were almost touching Chen Qizhao.

Yan Kaiqi pulled back his phone and swiped another photo to show Shen Yuhuai.

The photos were nothing else but those photos Yan Kailin posted of him pretending to study. One of them looked overly familiar. It was the one that Shen Yuhuai had liked in Chen Qizhao's circle of friends not long ago.

If you scroll up further, you can see several more pictures.

Same scene, same people...

Shen Yuhuai: “…”

He was silent.

Yan Kaiqi asked: "Did you say that it was too much?"

The green light came on, Shen Yuhuai turned the steering wheel and responded, “Yeah.”

By the swimming pool, young people who were ready to play all night were having more and more fun.

When Chen Qizhao sat down, he glanced at the chair opposite the swimming pool. The man who had been sitting there was gone, and there was no sign of him coming back. He lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, then looked away, and those vague gazes following him seemed to disappear.

He checked the messages on his phone, but surprisingly, he didn't see any message from Chen Shiming.

In the past, when he went out to drink, Chen Shiming would either make a phone call or send a text message. It was rare that he was so quiet today. He skipped the message and looked at the updates on his friends' circle below.

When he clicked in, he saw the like that Shen Yuhuai had given him, his eyes lingered on the little red heart for a moment, and he noticed that the like was posted an hour ago, so he stopped his hand from wanting to cut it back.

It's almost 2 o'clock now.

At this time, Shen Yuhuai should have fallen asleep.

Chen Qizhao finished his champagne and said, "Let's go."

Yan Kailin was having a great time, and when he saw this, he said, "So fast?!"

"There are morning classes tomorrow." Chen Qizhao glanced at him and said, "Or do you want to skip class tomorrow morning so that your brother can settle the score with you?"

When the eldest brother of the Yan family was mentioned, Yan Kailin became timid and said to Cheng Rong: "Brother, see you next time."

Cheng Rong and Liu Kai were already used to this, and said, "I'll have someone call a car for you."

He didn't feel anything when they were playing, but Yan Kailin felt a little bit dizzy as he walked out of the villa. His steps were a bit slow and he was saying bad things about Yan Kaiqi as he walked. He pressed half of his body on Chen Qizhao and only did he not walk crookedly when he was supported by him.

When the car drove into the villa area, the music in the villa had already spread outside.

Yan Kaiqi was looking for a parking space among a crowd of luxury cars. Suddenly, he saw two people standing in the distance. He felt that they looked familiar. He said, "There's someone over there. Why does it look like Yan Kailin?"

Chen Yuhuai focused his eyes slightly, looked in the direction Yan Kaiqi pointed, and saw the boy standing in the night wind. From a distance, there was a person lying on the hood of the car next to the boy. Shen Yuhuai adjusted the direction and drove over. After a quick look, he could see the person clearly.

The boy stood in the cold wind and flipped the lighter skillfully.

With a snap, a flame lit up in the darkness, and he lit a cigarette while standing on the side of the road.

There were a bunch of cars parked outside the villa, and other people were still having fun inside.

The driver arranged by Cheng Rong had not arrived yet. Chen Qizhao asked Yan Kailin to lean on the car nearby. He glanced at the brightly lit villa. As soon as he opened the lid of the lighter, he saw light coming from the opposite side.

The light was heading this way, as if looking at them.

Chen Qizhao squinted slightly, unable to see the person clearly in the backlight, and said to Yan Kailin: "Wake up, the car is here."

Yan Kailin: "Come again! Do it!"

“Fuck him!!”

The drunk man has lost his mind.

Chen Qizhao: “…”

He simply didn't move, lit a cigarette, and planned to wait for the driver to come and help him.

But after the car stopped, the light was still shining this way.

Chen Qizhao narrowed his eyes and the car lights went out. He suddenly felt that the car looked familiar. He moved his eyes to the front of the car, intending to check the license plate.

"Yan Kailin!" A man came down from the passenger seat and walked towards them angrily.

Chen Qizhao was just thinking about it when he suddenly came to his senses when he saw the eldest brother of the Yan family. After a while, he saw the man in the driver's seat getting out.

The man stood tall, his familiar profile revealed in the dim light.

Soon, the man turned around, looked at Chen Qizhao, and closed the car door.

Chen Qizhao's expression paused, and he suddenly hid his hands behind his back, and the cigarette between his fingers fell to the ground. He looked at Shen Yuhuai silently, took two steps back slightly, and stepped on the smoke precisely.

He rubbed his heel slightly on the cigarette butt.
