Shen Yuhuai's hands were steady, and after determining the position, he pressed towards that spot.

Chen Qizhao lowered his head slightly and continued, "Maybe I didn't sleep in the right position last night, so I got a stiff neck."

Shen Yuhuai said: “Well, sit up straight.”

Chen Qizhao paused slightly, and the next moment Chen Yuhuai put both hands on his shoulders, with his slightly open hands covering his shoulders and moving down, his thumbs pressing accurately on the butterfly bones on his back.

The next second, Chen Qizhao involuntarily straightened his back slightly along with his hand, and the numbness became even stronger.

The slightly cool fingers had just the right amount of strength, pressing smoothly near Chen Qizhao's cervical spine, and pressing along the tendons and bones to under Chen Qizhao's clothes, as if they were smoothing out the pain in the veins, but also like they were teasing, and each press hit Chen Qizhao's spot.

“Brother Huai, how could you know these things…?” Chen Qizhao paused for a moment.

Shen Yuhuai said: "When I was an undergraduate, my roommate studied Chinese medicine, and he taught me."

Chen Qizhao no longer felt any pain, but was a little numb.

When the other person's hand loosened, he still felt a little unsatisfied.

"It depends on the situation if your neck is uncomfortable. If it's still uncomfortable tonight, you may need to go see a doctor." Shen Yuhuai helped Chen Qizhao straighten his collar, and then said, "It usually takes half a day to get better. Let's eat first."

Chen Qizhao: “Yeah.”

Shen Yuhuai sat next to him. Chen Qizhao next to him had already started drinking soy milk, but his eyes stayed on his fingertips. He rubbed his index finger and thumb. The touch just now seemed to still remain on his fingertips. He was a little absent-minded.

Chen Qizhao drank soy milk, his eyes seemed to stop at one point, he didn’t look at Shen Yuhuai, but asked: “Brother Huai, do you have time in the evening?”

Shen Yuhuai came back to his senses, “Yes.”

In Chen's office, Chen Shiming reported the recent situation to Chen Jianhong. After locking in Chen Liyao, they followed Chen Liyao's movements in the company and his interactions with various departments, and then identified several people who were not on Chen Qizhao's list. They cannot rush into dealing with the Lin family. They must first eliminate the group's internal hidden dangers and collect enough evidence before they can attack the Lin family.

But now I have encountered a little problem.

"The direction of our investigation should be correct, but there were some problems in the process." Chen Shiming originally targeted the person and then the project. For example, the marketing manager they investigated had been progressing smoothly, but key evidence was missing at certain junctures, and even misleading evidence appeared.

This was a situation that had never happened before. It was as if the other party had discovered their actions and was secretly using other means to hinder their investigation progress.

After Chen Shiming explained the situation to Chen Jianhong in detail, he said, "This problem is not only happening in the marketing department. We are investigating three projects that have this problem."

"If the investigation progress is slowed down, they will have more time to finish it." Chen Jianhong realized the problem. "This shouldn't be the case. This is a little different from the previous situation."

Ever since Jiang Yuze was arrested, they have basically locked down Lin Shizhong, and the investigation has been progressing smoothly.

Lin Shizhong seemed eager to finish, and he revealed his flaws in many places. Combined with the list given by Chen Qizhao, as long as they followed the original plan, the purge of the Chen family would be completed quickly. But in the past two weeks, Lin Shizhong seemed to slow down, as if he had noticed their actions and started to fight back.

"The Lin Group has a deep foundation after all. Jiang Yuze only caused an internal problem, which has no major impact on the Lin Group as a whole. With his ability, he was just panicked at first, but after he adjusts himself, he will find a way to fight back against us."

Chen Jianhong did not doubt his 'old friend's' ability. After all these years, he still had some understanding of Lin Shizhong. "It's just that he reacted too quickly. I thought we could delay it for another half a month."

Chen Shiming frowned slightly and said nothing.

Chen Jianhong looked at his eldest son who was already able to handle things on his own and said, "Don't rush into anything. If we can't handle it here, we can only give him some trouble without affecting our progress."

"I see." Chen Shiming said, noticing the sleepiness on Chen Jianhong's face, and asked in confusion: "Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

"I took a break." Chen Jianhong pinched his brows, "I'm still a little sleepy recently."

Chen Shiming became alert, "I remember the housekeeper took your blood pressure last night, and it has returned to the normal range. Why are you still dizzy?" He originally thought that Chen Jianhong's sleepiness and dizziness were due to his high blood pressure, but since the aromatherapy incident was exposed, the potential threat has been eliminated, and the situation should have improved.

Moreover, Chen Jianhong also paid great attention to his health during this period. He took medicine regularly after three meals and occasionally took emergency medicine when his blood pressure was high. It didn't make sense for this situation to occur.

"I'm just sleepy, but I don't feel anything unusual physically."

Chen Jianhong took a sip of water and took out the medicine he carried with him from the drawer. "Shi Ming, I am no better than when I was young. It is normal to have this kind of problem when you are older."

"I know. I'm just worried."

Seeing this, Chen Shiming said, "Didn't you take the medicine for three meals?"

"These are oral medications, but they're not very effective. Sometimes I feel sleepier after taking them."

Chen Jianhong spends a lot of time on business trips and in meetings, and occasionally external factors can cause his blood pressure to fluctuate. These medicines were prescribed along with his three meals a day for Chen Jianhong to take when needed.

Chen Shiming was a little confused, so he walked over, picked up the medicine bottle and looked at it.

There are still a lot of medicines in the bottle. Chen Jianhong takes oral medicines relatively rarely, occasionally taking one pill a day, or only one pill every two or three days. Apart from the simple instructions on the bottle, the rest of the medicine packaging had long been lost. He had some impression of this and had this medicine in his family's emergency oral medicine storage.

Chen Shiming said: "I remember that when the doctor prescribed the medicine for you, he avoided some special ingredients."

Due to the nature of his work, Chen Jianhong always gives special considerations when prescribing drugs. For example, drugs with sedative and hypnotic effects are generally not prescribed unless they are necessary.

"I did take care of it." Chen Jianhong said, "Maybe it's because I'm old, the medicine isn't working anymore."

Chen Shiming hesitated a little, "How long have you been taking this medicine?"

"I've been taking it since last year." Chen Jianhong frowned. He noticed the problem in Chen Shiming's words: "Are you saying there's something wrong with the medicine?"

These medicines are available in pharmaceutical companies and at home. He often came into contact with these medicines after he had health problems. This pill looks the same as the ones at home, so if there was a problem, he would have been able to miss it. And apart from drowsiness, he did not have any health problems during the examinations during this period.

"The situation is special now." Chen Shiming poured out a few pills from the medicine bottle. Judging from the capacity of the bottle and the remaining pills inside, this bottle should have been opened for several months. "We have this at home, too. To be on the safe side, I'll send them for inspection. Are all your medicines sent by Uncle Zhang?"

"He sent it here." Chen Jianhong suddenly thought of something, and his voice sank slightly: "But these medicines are in the drawer of the office, and there is no lock."

That means anyone who comes into the office could potentially switch medications.

Chen Shiming had a bad feeling.

At the same time, in the office of Lin Group.

Lin Shizhong had just finished a meeting and as soon as he returned to the office, he received a call request from someone. The other party seemed to have predicted the end time of his meeting and called on time.

I've been working with this person for so long, and his style of doing things has always been like this.

He was able to place another spy in the Chen Group before anything happened, so naturally he could also place someone in the Lin Group.

Even though Lin Shizhong was unhappy, he thought that their business cooperation still depended on each other's connections, so he could tolerate some things. "Hello?"

The male voice on the phone said, "Chen Shiming has found out about you, but you seem to be quite relaxed."

"He has no direct evidence, so it won't be found out so quickly." Lin Shizhong loosened his tie slightly and spoke in a normal tone.

The person on the phone sneered, "No direct evidence? He has already checked with the marketing department. If I act later, it won't just be your Lin Group that will be exposed."

"Marketing department?" Lin Shizhong's expression became serious. "He had been investigating the shareholders before, why did he suddenly go to the marketing department?"

"Chen Shiming knows more than you know." The person on the phone said, "I have already helped you finish the marketing department's affairs. Lin Shizhong, I told you that even though you have been playing with Chen for so many years, there are some things you have to guard against. Chen Jianhong can treat you as a brother, but other members of the Chen family will not."

Lin Shizhong's eyes darkened slightly as he listened to the person on the phone, but his mind was thinking of Chen.

Chen Shiming started to take action last year. Before that, he had no plans in this regard. Where did the Chen family get the information from? He has been investigating for so long, but he has not heard that the Chen family has planted anyone in the Lin family. Even if it was planted, very few people knew about the overall plan set by the Lin family against the Chen family, so it was impossible for any mistakes to occur on their side.

So something went wrong.

"You said before that you would investigate the Chen family." Lin Shizhong said, "Have you found out the source of the information in Chen Shiming's hand?"

"We haven't found any information yet. The person who sent the information to Chen Shiming was very cautious. At least, he has never appeared on the public network." The person on the phone continued, "Didn't you say before that Yicheng received an anonymous email? It is very likely that Chen Shiming also received an anonymous email. My people got some clues about the email address from Yicheng's shareholders. It's not easy to check. The other party is very vigilant. Chen Shiming is just a cover. You should be wary of this person. He has more information than we think."

Lin Shizhong said in a deep voice: "I know, but you can't find out who this person is. You suspected Chen Qizhao before. My people have been following him for so long, but they haven't obtained anything useful from him."

"But what is certain is that this person cares a lot about the Chen family." The person on the phone changed the subject, "He only sent an email about Yicheng's matter, but he seems to be very concerned about many things related to the Chen family. At least it is certain that this person has a vested interest in the Chen family. The Chen family cannot keep him."

Lin Shizhong had wanted to overthrow the Chen family for a long time, and even when the Chen family was in crisis, it would have been easier to overthrow them in one fell swoop. But Lin also encountered a problem at that time. He saw opportunities in the market channels of the Chen family. He was a businessman. Compared with the Chen family that could be overthrown in a short time, the various markets, channels, and connections in the Chen family had some things that he could not get.

So he changed his mind and kept Chen's for a few more years, using this behemoth to gain more benefits for himself with careful planning...But now the real estate industry is in decline, some of Chen's businesses have run into problems, and the group is seeking transformation. The value of Chen has been almost hollowed out. He had no intention of staying there in the first place. His original plan was to use Ruizhen Electronics and others to reasonably hollow out Chen and find a seemingly 'reasonable' reason for them to go bankrupt.

Things that have been used up should disappear from the market as he thought.

"I still have some things to clean up. I have to wait until these things are cleaned up, otherwise the fire will burn me." Lin Shizhong was silent for a moment and then said, "Don't worry, I want to see the Chen family fall more than you do. They have been used for so many years and they are no longer useful. If it weren't for the sudden events during this period, the Chen family would have fallen in the past two years."

"I don't care about the feud between your family and the Chen family. You can't drag it out for another two years." The person on the phone smiled and didn't take Lin Shizhong's words seriously. He said casually, "I've been covering for you for so long. I just didn't want the fire to get to me. Sometimes it's more important to sacrifice the pawn to save the king. You're very smart, and I don't need to say more."

At the Ninth Research Institute, when Shen Yuhuai came out of the laboratory, Liu Sui was watching with his hands in his pockets.

“Are you blocking people here?” Shen Yuhuai didn’t look at him, but picked up his phone to send a message.

Chen Qizhao has no class in the evening today, and he has been transferred to a class in the afternoon.

"Who else should I block if not you? You haven't been seen for the past two days." Liu Sui yawned, "I finally finished the data for the thesis, so of course I have to go out for a big meal tonight. You choose the place, I'll treat you."

Shen Yuhuai's gaze paused slightly on the mobile phone page, and the message on it stopped at a certain interface, "Change the time."

Liu Sui: “?”

"Aren't you free tonight? I don't see your name on the shift list."

Shen Yuhuai replied with a slight movement of his fingers, and then said, “Well, I have an appointment.”

Liu Sui: “???”

Cheng Rong's surveillance information was sent two days later. The copied surveillance information included the surveillance of the villa entrance and the pool party on that day. Cheng Rong did not provide other surveillance information involving personal privacy.

As soon as he got the surveillance footage, Chen Qizhao checked the people around their sofa. There were many people staring at him, but there were only two people who stayed near the sofa for a long time. Chen Qizhao had some impression of one of them. When he went to the bathroom, that person followed him, but not for long.

Chen Qizhao had never seen these two people.

In addition, when Chen Qizhao checked the surveillance information opposite the swimming pool, he found that the surveillance information provided by Cheng Rong did not have any surveillance video facing that direction, as if that location had never been captured, but he remembered that there was indeed surveillance at that location at the time.

Chen Qizhao called Cheng Rong to ask, "Is your surveillance camera missing something? The location opposite us was not captured."

"Oh, that?" Cheng Rong said, "The surveillance cameras in the villa haven't been repaired for a long time. I brought you all the surveillance cameras with images. You said that the surveillance camera on the left side of the swimming pool seemed to be broken, and the machine didn't start. I can only take these pictures. Is there any problem?"

"I noticed that he seemed to have walked to the other side, and I wanted to see if it was captured on the surveillance camera." Chen Qizhao did not ask too much about the lost surveillance camera. "I'll check to see if it was captured. It might really be my illusion."

Cheng Rong: "Okay then, remember to tell me if you have any questions."

The monitoring is broken...

Chen Qizhao's eyes darkened slightly, and he immediately found the video clips that were closer. The surveillance footage of an area was lost for no apparent reason. It was normal for surveillance footage in a sparsely populated villa to have problems, but the footage he wanted was missing. There was indeed a possibility of such a coincidence, but Chen Qizhao didn't believe it.

Thinking of the man opposite him at that time, he looked through the surrounding surveillance cameras, but in the end he only found the footage of him leaving. This person seemed to know the location of the surveillance cameras and was very vigilant. The places he took when he left were all blind spots for surveillance. Except for the relatively clear images captured at the entrance of the porch, he could not be captured at other locations.

"It's strange to call it a coincidence..."

In the dormitory, Chen Qizhao was at a loss as to what to do in front of the video...but suddenly he remembered something. Although it was easy to sneak into a pool party like this, there were still two bodyguards guarding the door, most of whom were claiming to be Cheng Rong's friends...

"Do you have the video that was taken at the party that day?" When Chen Qizhao pushed open Yan Kailin's dormitory door, the latter was still lying on the bed and browsing his phone. Seeing this, he got up angrily, "Video!? Are you saying those idiots took it? If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been exposed to my brother."

It makes me angry to talk about this matter. After sobering up, Yan Kailin faced his elder brother's face, which was like a cold devil. He stayed at home for a whole day. He was almost 20 years old and had to copy the punishment while suffering from a hangover. When he finally escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, he realized that he would be caught by Yan Kaiqi that day because Yan Kaiqi had seen other people's circle of friends again.

"Is he a dog? Why can he find me just by sniffing other people's posts on WeChat Moments?" Yan Kailin sat there. "There are so many people posting on WeChat Moments!! Doesn't he pay attention to other things? Doesn't he just look for me everywhere when he opens WeChat Moments? Does he have a lot of free time?"

“…”

Chen Qizhao: "I don't think your brother saw the circle of friends. You should be wondering if someone tipped off."

"I also think that this is definitely not right. Someone must have been bribed by my brother." Yan Kailin reacted and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"Looking for someone." Chen Qizhao used Chen Shiming as an excuse and said, "Chen Shiming received the video, and my friends in the circle of friends have seen it. Do you have anything else?"

Yan Kailin got excited when he heard this, and cast a look of sympathy towards Chen Qizhao, "We just drank a little, it wasn't a big deal, do you think they would do that?"

“Not really.” Chen Qizhao quickly saw a lot of videos on Yan Kailin’s phone and said, “Send all these videos to me.”

"Ah?" Yan Kailin was puzzled: "What do you need these for?"

Surveillance can be used to prevent it, but the endless number of mobile phones at the party is difficult to guard against. Chen Qizhao just flipped through his circle of friends two days ago and saw the man in someone else's short video. Helping Yan Kailin find the tip-off is a small matter, but being able to find out the man's true identity from the video is a big deal.

He returned the phone to Yan Kailin and said meaningfully, "Find someone to see who is leaking the information."

Yan Kailin: "I'll post it right away!!!"

Chen Qizhao added: "I want videos of the party."

Yan Kailin: "I understand! Never miss a blind spot!"

Chen Qizhao: “Yeah, very good.”

In order to catch the person who leaked the information, Yan Kailin put all his effort into looking for the video on WeChat Moments from two days ago. However, while he was still working hard, he suddenly saw Chen Qizhao stand up and walk out with his coat.

"Brother?" Yan Kailin asked in confusion, "Aren't you looking for a video?"

"Well, you go find it first, I have something to go out for."

Chen Qizhao was swiping his phone. The latest news on VX was that Shen Yuhuai was asking him if he had time to go out for dinner in the evening. His expression did not change, and he replied with a slight movement of his fingers, "Send me the video if you find it, and I'll tell you when I'm sure the person is there."

The place where I met with Shen Yuhuai was a newly opened hot pot restaurant outside the school.

Not long after Chen Qizhao returned to the dormitory, Shen Yuhuai sent a message saying that he was on the way. The Ninth Research Institute was not far from S University and they arrived there quickly. Chen Qizhao threw the cigarettes and lighter in his pocket on the table and changed into a coat before going out.

He took two steps and suddenly remembered something, so he opened the drawer and found that Shen Yuhuai's power bank was still in its original place.

Chen Qizhao's eyes paused slightly, and his gaze stayed on the power bank for two seconds.

He didn't take it and just closed the drawer.

Shen Yuhuai was still waiting for him at the original location. When Chen Qizhao went downstairs, he thought Liu Sui was there too. In the past, when Shen Yuhuai asked him to go out for dinner after get off work at the research institute, he would bring Liu Sui with him. But today when he went downstairs, he saw that only Shen Yuhuai was on the side of the road.

"Brother Liu didn't come today?" Chen Qizhao asked.

"He hasn't finished his thesis yet, and he said he'd treat us to dinner after he finishes it." Shen Yuhuai opened the car door, "Do you have something to ask him?"

"No." Chen Qizhao also opened the car door, so he asked politely.

After arriving at the hot pot restaurant, the two ordered their meals and Shen Yuhuai went to the bathroom.

Chen Qizhao was looking at his phone idly and noticed the message sent by the person in charge of keeping an eye on the Lin family to Chen Shiming ten minutes ago.

Now that the Chen family and the Lin family have not yet torn their faces apart, Lin Shizhong did not clean up the mess in a big way as he had expected before. Instead, he slowed down his actions during this period of time. Several clues he had caught before were covered up by unknown means, as if someone was following behind Lin Shizhong to clean up the mess for him.

Chen Qizhao's eyes darkened slightly. Lin Shizhong's movements were too fast.

Given Lin Shizhong's cautiousness, he would indeed do so, but this would affect Lin Shizhong's overall plan, just like being impatient to put on shoes before even putting on the socks on one foot.

Chen Qizhao thought of the plan he had made before and was thinking about how to find something for Lin Shizhong to do. When he clicked on the message interface, he saw the 10+ video sent by Yan Kailin. He clicked it to check it out in silence. Suddenly, he saw Young Master Sun holding a wine glass and talking to someone in the new video, and suddenly he remembered something.

If you are in such a hurry to put on your shoes, then this shoe will just fall off...

Chen Qizhao suddenly had a better idea.

“What are you looking at?” Shen Yuhuai put the ingredients next to him.

"No." Chen Qizhao turned off his phone and said in a normal tone, "I just saw a video."

He looked at Shen Yuhuai's actions and took the initiative to open the topic, "I just remembered that I forgot to bring my power bank."

Chen Qizhao looked at Shen Yuhuai, and then said: "I'll bring it to you next time."
