Several security guards came over, shining their flashlights everywhere, and some students passing by also came over to watch.

There were several knives scattered on the ground, two of which were stained with blood. The three people who were avoiding the flashlight looked ruffians and did not look like students in the school at all.

The security guards realized the seriousness of the situation, and several of them subdued the three immobilized criminals and prepared to notify the school for handling. S University does not have strict control over entry and exit, and occasionally some outsiders come in. This time, the outsiders targeted the students and the situation was very serious.

Chen Qizhao was held by Shen Yuhuai's hand and left the dark corridor.

After reaching the bright place, Shen Yuhuai raised his hand to check and noticed that there were several broken skins on the back of his hand. He frowned slightly and looked at Chen Qizhao's other hand. "Hand."

Facing Shen Yuhuai's gaze, Chen Qizhao honestly took out his hands from behind his back. He explained: "It's not that serious, it just looks..."

The two stood at the entrance of the cafeteria, and light from inside the building came out.

Shen Yuhuai noticed that there were more broken skin wounds on the back of Chen Qizhao's right hand. His eyes darkened, and he gently pulled open the sleeve of Chen Qizhao's coat, noticing several shallow wounds inside, which should have been cut by a knife, and some of them were still bleeding.

Chen Qizhao looked at Shen Yuhuai and inexplicably felt guilty.

In fact, when he saw the three people, he had already made a plan. He first sent Yan Kailin away and sent a text message to the security booth. During this free time, he wanted to ask these people some questions. After all, it was not appropriate to ask too many questions when someone was involved.

He still had some confidence towards the three people. In his previous life, when Lin Shizhong was cruel, he once asked people to block his way home when he was alone after get off work. At that time, he suffered even more serious injuries. He had taken classes to learn some kung fu when he was young, but most of his ferocity was honed in his previous life.

However, in later civilized society, this issue was also strictly enforced.

It was impossible for Lin Shizhong to call on a large group of people to block him, and the security for Chen Qizhao's travel was also increased.

Chen Qizhao thought that if he had been more careful, the knife wound would not have been left.

Shen Yuhuai's voice became a little colder, "The wound needs to be treated in the infirmary."

At this time, a car parked nearby. Yan Kaiqi rushed out of the car, saw the situation here, and ran over quickly.

"Are you okay?" Yan Kaiqi ran in a hurry and was panting while speaking. He exchanged glances with Shen Yuhuai, and then looked to the other side. Yan Kailin was still standing in the crowd watching the excitement with a cup of milk tea in his hand, completely unaware that he might have just been in a life-and-death situation.

"This brat." Yan Kaiqi cursed inwardly. He glanced at the wound on Chen Qizhao's hand and probably knew something. "Take him to treat the wound. I'll take care of this."

Chen Qizhao frowned slightly. It was already strange that Shen Yuhuai suddenly appeared, so why did Yan Kaiqi come too?

Thinking that this group of people were coming for Yan Kailin, he asked, "I just asked those people, and they said that someone paid them 20,000 yuan to beat Yan Kailin into the hospital."

Yan Kaiqi's expression darkened for a moment, "Fuck, they are really coming for us."

Chen Qizhao thought for a moment, seeking revenge on the Yan family?

Yan Kaiqi arrived and took over the on-site handling. He negotiated with the school security and carried Yan Kailin into the car.

Chen Qizhao followed Shen Yuhuai to the infirmary to treat the wound. The wound did look serious on the surface. He sat inside and let the doctor treat the wound. Shen Yuhuai stood beside him and watched, with his hand on his back to support him.

It took some time to treat the wound. Shen Yuhuai asked about precautions, but Chen Qizhao didn't say anything.

By the time they were completely treated and left the infirmary, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Chen Qizhao looked at Shen Yuhuai and said with a little hesitation: "I won't do this next time."

Shen Yuhuai looked at Chen Qizhao after hearing this, "If you encounter this kind of problem, you can call the police first instead of being brave enough to do it alone. They brought knives today, you are lucky that nothing happened..."

The alley entrance was hidden and there were no obvious lights around it.

Just now, it was Shen Yuhuai who noticed the sound. If Chen Qizhao was injured and fell to the ground, and he did not arrive in time, the seriousness of the matter would be different. There are too many uncertainties in this matter. Suppose Yan Kaiqi didn't notice that Yan Kailin's phone was not reachable, suppose he didn't come over, suppose there were a few more people on the other side, the situation would be completely different.

"If you can't beat me, I will run away." Chen Qizhao said, "This is a school, there are people on the road."

Shen Yuhuai was speechless for a moment. He had no position to teach Chen Qizhao a lesson: "But what if something goes wrong?"

Chen Qizhao admitted his mistake very straightforwardly: "I won't do it again next time."

Shen Yuhuai looked at the boy who lowered his head slightly, and the words of condemnation on his lips could not be uttered for some reason.

At the door of the infirmary, two people were just standing there, with other students coming in and out.

Chen Qizhao felt that he was really unlucky tonight. He was caught beating someone by Shen Yuhuai, and he didn't get to ask any of the questions he should have. He obviously felt that Shen Yuhuai was angry. The two had been together for so long, and in his impression, Shen Yuhuai had always been a humble and gentle person, but when such a person was angry, he would not show it too obviously, but the tone of his speech would change.

Being caught beating someone by Shen Yuhuai was bad enough, he didn't want to deepen the bad impression.

He was just thinking about whether to add a few more words of explanation when he suddenly felt a heaviness on his head.

Shen Yuhuai rubbed his head with his hand, “Then there won’t be a next time.”

Chen Qizhao paused: "Are you angry?"

"Angry." Shen Yuhuai let go of his hand, "But I have no right to say anything to you."

Chen Qizhao lowered his eyes, "You..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yuhuai’s phone rang. It was Yan Kaiqi calling.

He didn't hear half of what Chen Qizhao said, and turned and walked a few steps away to answer the phone.

Chen Qizhao thought to himself, you can have this position.

"It's confirmed. These guys are just ordinary street thugs. They got into trouble a while ago and were approached by someone who wanted to teach Kailin a lesson." Yan Kaiqi said, looking at Yan Kailin who was as scared as a chicken. "They gave me a number. I've asked someone to check it, but Kailin said he didn't have any conflict with anyone else."

"Is Brother Zhao okay?" Yan Kailin asked anxiously, "I don't even know these people, how would I know why they want to see me."

Yan Kaiqi: "He's fine, go inside and stay indoors, don't go out during this period."

Yan Kailin walked into the house with a wronged look on his face.

"That's probably what happened. I don't think we can get anything out of these people." Yan Kaiqi said with a tired tone, "I know Kailin's personality. He's unlikely to have a conflict with others. He's most likely coming after me."

That is, the other party did give Yan Kaiqi a warning, and this warning was directed at Yan Kaiqi's family.

Most of the Yan family's industries are overseas, and the only person Yan Kaiqi cares about in China is Yan Kailin. The other party is threatening Yan Kaiqi by holding Yan Kailin's safety in his hands.

"Stop it after this matter is dealt with. You are not fit to wade into this muddy water anymore." Shen Yuhuai's voice was slightly cold. He asked Yan Kaiqi to investigate this matter. If the Yan family was involved in this dispute because of his problem, he did not want to see such a result. "He did not take more extreme actions. It is obvious that he is threatening you. In the short term, the other party should not have other means because the effect he wanted has been achieved."

Yan Kaiqi was silent for a moment. "Let's talk about this later. Tell Chen Qizhao to thank you for me. If he hadn't discovered it this time, Kailin would be in trouble."

Shen Yuhuai said a few words to Yan Kaiqi, and then said to Chen Qizhao: “Yan Kaiqi asked me to say thank you to you.”

Chen Qizhao's eyes stopped on Shen Yuhuai, his attention focused on the conversation between the two just now. He asked: "Did something happen to the Yan family?"

Shen Yuhuai thought of Chen Qizhao's risky behavior in the alley just now. He made an extreme move because Yan Kailin was followed. If he knew that Yan Kailin was involved because of Yan Kaiqi's investigation of aromatherapy, he would inevitably blame himself for it.

He does need to be told about this, but not at this stage.

“Someone is dealing with Yan Kaiqi. I guess the other party wanted to warn Yan Kaiqi so they attacked Yan Kailin.” Shen Yuhuai explained.

Chen Qizhao was slightly puzzled, and always felt that something was missing in Shen Yuhuai's words.

"Do you remember the last time I sent you the aromatherapy control material?" Shen Yuhuai continued.

Chen Qizhao's gaze paused for a moment, "I see, is there any new clue in this matter?"

"Yes, aromatherapy may not be a simple controlled substance input. It is very likely that someone used equipment to extract related compounds for processing and manufacturing." Shen Yuhuai looked at Chen Qizhao and told some of the known results of aromatherapy at this stage: "These organizations are not only active in S City, but also have business dealings with B City, but we don't know who the business dealings are with. There is a suspicious person in S City."

Chen Qizhao asked: "Who?"

Shen Yuhuai: “Lin’s Medical.”

The reason why I told Chen Qizhao about this was because I hoped that the Chen family would be more wary of the Lin family.

Whether there are any problems with Lin’s Medical remains to be confirmed, but we must remain vigilant.

When Chen Qizhao heard this, a line of thought came into his mind. "You said you have business dealings with City B, right?"

“Yes, but we are not sure which capital is behind City B.” Shen Yuhuai continued, “I will tell your eldest brother about this matter, and we will make adjustments to the remaining investigation direction later.”

He didn't say too many details. This matter was too dangerous, and it was not convenient to tell Chen Qizhao too much at this stage.

Now that the other party has become alert, it will not work to investigate openly. We have to find a way to remove the Yan family from this matter.

However, Chen Qizhao found a clue from the rare clues mentioned by Shen Yuhuai. The harmful compounds in the aromatherapy were extracted by an institution in City S, and this institution had some relationship with the Lin family, and some of its business involved City B... There was too much capital in City B, but Chen Qizhao only had one suspect.

Gu Zhengsong.

He was originally not sure what the relationship between Lin and Gu Zhengsong was, but if there was potential business dealings, then there would basically be interests involved.

This business is definitely not clean... maybe it's because of the illegal things that Lin Shizhong has done.

Chen Qizhao had a new idea in his mind.

Shen Yuhuai asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Chen Qizhao said subconsciously: "No."

Shen Yuhuai's gaze stopped at Chen Qizhao, and when he saw his bandaged wound, his heart sank a little.

He thought that Chen Qizhao probably didn't know that some of his little movements were very obvious.

Chen Qizhao came back to his senses and suddenly remembered what he had not said just now. His eyes fell on Shen Yuhuai.

Just as he opened his mouth, his stomach growled.

Perhaps because the place where they were standing was quiet, Shen Yuhuai's attention suddenly fell on him, and he laughed and said, "Are you hungry?"

Chen Qizhao didn't eat much when he went out with Yan Kailin that night. He was just staring at the people who were following him, so he wasn't very hungry.

“Actually, I’m not that hungry either.” Just as Chen Qizhao finished speaking, Shen Yuhuai’s phone rang again.

Liu Sui called. The laboratory staff didn't get off work until after eight o'clock. After get off work, a group of people went to the restaurant that Liu Sui particularly wanted to eat at last time. At this moment, Liu Suigang called and asked Shen Yuhuai if he had finished his work and whether he wanted to go there for a midnight snack.

Shen Yuhuai hurried over here as soon as he left the laboratory. A lot of things happened, and he hasn't had dinner yet.

“Are you guys grilling fish at school?” Shen Yuhuai responded, “I’m busy with something right now, it’s okay, you guys eat first.”

Chen Qizhao looked at Shen Yuhuai, and he thought of the time when he chatted with Shen Yuhuai yesterday. He said that he had been busy for the past two days and had no time at night.

In the past, under such circumstances, Shen Yuhuai would usually leave the laboratory at ** o'clock, and go out for a midnight snack with Liu Sui and other colleagues at night... So at this point, has Shen Yuhuai not eaten yet?

He rolled his eyes and said, "I'm hungry."

Shen Yuhuai's peripheral vision fell on Chen Qizhao's eyes, but he quickly retracted his gaze and changed the subject: "Where are you having dinner? Send me the address."

The dinner was held at the grilled fish restaurant in front of the school, a newly opened internet-famous restaurant that was bustling until the early hours of the morning every day.

When Chen Qizhao and Shen Yuhuai arrived, they saw four of Shen Yuhuai’s colleagues crowded around a large table. Liu Sui waved enthusiastically in this direction, “Yuhuai, this way!”

The restaurant was almost full, so Liu Sui asked the waiter to add more chairs.

Amid the bustle, Chen Qizhao sat next to Shen Yuhuai. The distance between the two chairs was small, so their arms were close together when they moved.

Liu Sui and others were very surprised to see Chen Qizhao's injured hand. They were even more frightened when they learned about the vicious fight that had just occurred in the school.

Liu Sui said: "S University needs to sort out this problem. There have been too many outsiders coming in and out recently, which threatens the safety of students."

"Then they will definitely deal with it. Just wait for the school to notify you. Last time, there seemed to be a stalker from another school? I heard from my friend that after that day, the school gate started to be guarded. I don't know how these people got in."

When Chen Qizhao heard them talking about the stalker, he frowned slightly: "Stalker?"

Shen Yuhuai said nothing.

"Yes, someone found out and reported it. It happened just last month or the month before last."

Chen Qizhao recalled that it was no wonder that there were fewer people following him in the school during this period. The people who followed him were basically near the company or when he was out. It turned out that the school was checking people and had imposed martial law here... His car was registered in the school, and the other people followed him in. Either the school guards were negligent, or these people also registered their vehicle information in the school.

However, since Yan Kaiqi is involved in this matter, the result should be found out soon.

Liu Sui said: "I'll ask them to add some more dishes. What will Qi Zhao eat?"

Chen Qizhao said: "It's all right."

Shen Yuhuai: "He has a hand injury, so he won't eat anything that's too greasy or salty."

Chen Qizhao nodded. At this moment, the cell phone in his clothes vibrated, as if someone was calling.

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

The bathroom in the store was not far away, and only after Chen Qizhao closed the door could he keep the hustle and bustle out.

He answered the phone, "Hello?"

The person who called was the person he had asked to investigate before, and he said that some investigation materials had been sent to his email.

Chen Qizhao thought of what Shen Yuhuai said not long ago, and asked, “What has Gu Shen done recently?”

"Gu Shen? He's still in S City. My people followed him for a few days, but didn't find anything." The person on the phone continued, "It seems like he really came to S City for tourism. He either went to parties with friends or checked in at attractions in S City. He's very cautious, and no problems have been found so far."

This is too cautious...

Chen Qizhao was very familiar with this kind of situation. It was like he was pretending to be a playboy, carefully playing a certain role. However, such acting is not without flaws. As long as the opponent reveals a little flaw, if you don't keep your balance, it will be easy for the whole situation to collapse.

The business between the Gu family and the Lin family is too secretive. Gu Shen hid it very well, and Gu Zhengsong didn't even show up in S City.

Since Lin Shizhong has already planned to take action against the Chen family, there should be some movement on the Gu family's side as well.

Chen Qizhao said: "There should be some movement from Gu Zhengxun recently."

The man in the flowered shirt on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and continued, "The boss knows a lot. I did get news recently that Gu Zhengxun did make some moves, and his target should be the assets of the Gu family that are kept in a private bank somewhere in City B. He and Gu Zhengsong are fighting fiercely, so he should take action during this period."

"Are you familiar with the Gu family?" Chen Qizhao asked.

The flowered shirt said, "It's OK, it's within the scope of business."

Chen Qizhao did not ask any more questions, but said: "Then I want you to send a copy of the information to Gu Zhengxun, and I will send it to you via email later."

The flowered shirt smiled and said, "No problem, just arrange it."

Chen Qizhao said a few words and hung up the phone.

He looked at a document on his phone and sneered in his heart.

The Chen family has already sided with Gu Zhengxun, so Gu Zhengxun has to help.

Not only does he want to help, he also wants to add fuel to the fire of the Gu family's struggle.

After leaving the toilet, Chen Qizhao stepped into the busy grilled fish restaurant and his eyes stopped at the group of people talking and laughing in the distance.

Liu Sui urged the waiter to serve the food, and saw Chen Qizhao coming over, "You've been gone for so long, Yu Huai ordered a meal for you."

Chen Qizhao sat down next to Shen Yuhuai and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Speaking of S University, oh, by the way, S University, Yu Huai, why don't you call out your goddess?" Liu Sui suddenly remembered something, "I thought you were in such a hurry to go out at night, I thought you were going on a date."

Shen Yuhuai paused.

Chen Qizhao was still thinking about something. When he heard the voice, he looked up at Liu Sui and said, "Goddess?"

"Qizhao doesn't know yet, right? It's your brother Huai who's chasing after someone in your school." Liu Sui nudged Chen Yuhuai with his arm, "She's either your classmate or your senior sister, and she's very secretive. She went out every night recently and didn't come back. She must be dating someone."

A while ago?

Chen Qizhao's eyes moved slightly downwards, and he glanced at Shen Yuhuai beside him.

Chen Yuhuai said: "No goddess."

Liu Sui asked in confusion: "Why are you hiding it?"

At this time, the waiter happened to come up to deliver the dishes, and Liu Sui saw that Shen Yuhuai didn’t want to mention it, so he didn’t say much.

Shen Yuhuai helped Chen Qizhao wash the dishes and chopsticks. He placed the dishes and chopsticks in front of Chen Qizhao, and a few drops of water fell on the table.

Liu Sui and others changed the topic, but Chen Qizhao was a little absent-minded, his eyes resting on the water drops on the edge of the bowl.

He knew Shen Yuhuai’s schedule during this period, and it was self-evident who he went out with a while ago.

When the dishes were served, Shen Yuhuai said, “Aren’t you hungry?”

“Yeah.” Chen Qizhao was actually not hungry at all, he just wanted to come over and have dinner with Shen Yuhuai.

The topic of conversation had turned to laboratory-related topics. Several people were talking about chemical terms that he couldn't understand. Liu Sui and his friends seemed to have endless questions, and Shen Yuhuai would occasionally join in on the conversation.

Chen Qizhao didn't have the slightest intention of delving into it, he lowered his head slightly and saw Shen Yuhuai's hand on his leg.

Liu Sui: "The last experimental plan actually still had some problems. Yu Huai and I were discussing whether to increase the sample weight the day before yesterday."

Shen Yuhuai was about to speak, but suddenly stopped.

He felt gauze on the back of his hand, and slightly cool fingers pressed on his knuckles, seeming to rub his fingers and reach the gaps between the joints. The other person's nails were not sharp, but the feeling of them scratching across my palm was more real and lasting than the original feeling in my palm. It spread along the sensitive fingers to my skin, like a simple and sexy tease.

Shen Yuhuai's Adam's apple moved.

"Yu Huai?" Liu Sui asked.

"… grams can be added, but the reference variable must be changed."

Shen Yuhuai's voice was a little hoarse, his eyes half-closed, and he noticed the hand that was making trouble.

Chen Qizhao's fingertips were placed on the back of Shen Yuhuai's hand. It was no simple contact like before. For the first time, he took the initiative to touch the raised joints on the back of the hand. Through the thin skin, he felt the texture of the hand bones under the skin.

And Shen Yuhuai did not break free, and acquiesced to such behavior.

This only fueled Chen Qizhao's greedy ambitions, and he absentmindedly satisfied himself, running his fingers across the back of his hand, stopping at the gaps between his fingers, and finally hooking Shen Yuhuai's fingers.

At this moment, the hand that had been quiet all the time suddenly moved.

Shen Yuhuai hooked his fingers around Chen Qizhao's hand, and took the initiative to cover the back of his hand. His movements were light and delicate, avoiding the wound wrapped in gauze, and instead fell on his skin, just like Chen Qizhao had just touched him, pressing on the other's knuckles.

It’s just that his movements were lighter, and the subtle touch was infinitely magnified.

In the lively atmosphere, Chen Qizhao seemed to catch Shen Yuhuai's voice.

Shen Yuhuai: “Not honest.”

Chen Qizhao's heartbeat quickened.

At the dinner table, the other people were still talking excitedly about the experiment, completely unaware of the silence around them.

The two people's voices were weak and light, but they made their hearts beat fast.

Chen Qizhao said directly: "I just want to touch you."

Chen Yuhuai half-lowered his eyes and gently held Chen Qizhao's hand with his large palm.

It's like holding your lover's hand, gently maintaining a precarious balance.

Until the very end, he scratched Chen Qizhao's palm with his little finger, just like someone's behavior of crossing the line that night, confirming an unspoken secret.

Chen Qizhao turned his head slightly and glanced at the narrow corners of Chen Yuhuai's eyes.

Shen Yuhuai didn’t look at him, his cherished eyes fell on his hands.

"Well, let you touch it."
