The news of Jiang Yuze's criminal detention reached Lin Shizhong's ears one hour after the incident. He was in a meeting at the time. When he heard the news, he walked out of the meeting room with a displeased look on his face. He communicated with other people who stayed in Chen's company to understand the whole story of the incident.
After hearing that someone had hacked into the conference room computer and used PPT to play photos and videos of Jiang Yuze colluding with others, almost everyone at the Chen group's top management knew about it.
When Lin Shizhong heard this, he knew that Jiang Yuze was completely ruined. He immediately ordered others to go to Jiang Yuze's other hidden residence to destroy other evidence, and asked the people who stayed in Chen's to pay attention to the actions of the police and Chen's.
Once something happens to Jiang Yuze, many things will be involved on their side.
Lin Shizhong trusts Jiang Yuze very much and also trusts his abilities. For him, all his arrangements in Chen's company are inseparable from Jiang Yuze's control. Now that Jiang Yuze has been arrested, it is equivalent to that his other arrangements in Chen's company are leaderless... It is not so easy to use Jiang Yuze's position to act within the Chen Group as before.
“This shouldn’t be…” Lin Shizhong frowned slightly. He and Jiang Yuze were very cautious in everything they did. Unless they did something by themselves, they basically took a long detour to do other things. This approach can give them enough time to alleviate or respond to emergencies. Once Chen or others track them down, Jiang Yuze will have enough time to escape before the other party completely tracks them to the end.
It is also because of this that Jiang Yuze has been able to stay in Chen's for so many years and even climbed to a position next to Chen Jianhong.
But the incident in the conference room broke out suddenly. They didn't even receive any advance information, nor were they given any time to relax, and the other party killed Jiang Yuze in one fell swoop.
However, this person did not investigate step by step according to their expected plan, but locked on Jiang Yuze from the very beginning. Therefore, he was able to ignore other unnecessary obstacles and directly attack Jiang Yuze without alerting other units.
Jiang Yuze was his most hidden chess piece, and now he is gone.
Since he started planning this decades ago, Lin Shizhong has never been in such a passive situation. When Chen Shiming destroyed part of his plan before, he was still able to remain rational and make new plans, but it is different now. Without Jiang Yuze, it would be impossible to mobilize the entire Chen family to destroy it in one fell swoop...
Lin Shizhong immediately ordered others to investigate the whole incident and found that the most important evidence was the confession of Yu Jie and others in prison and the recording of Assistant Wang. Assistant Wang was easier to investigate. He asked someone to follow up and found out that someone was threatening him with evidence of Assistant Wang's previous actions. In order to protect his future, the recording was leaked.
However, matters in prison were even more secretive, and it became much more difficult for Lin Shizhong's people to investigate. Because of Jiang Yuze's matter, the situation became more serious, and Yu Jie and others were protected as important witnesses, and no visits were allowed during this period.
But Lin Shizhong undoubtedly knew one thing, that is, the person behind the scenes who was against them had been targeting Jiang Yuze from the very beginning, which was why he was able to find evidence so accurately.
"Boss Lin, now we..."
"Investigate." Lin Shizhong's eyes darkened: "Find this person."

In the office, Shen Yuhuai’s call made Chen Qizhao’s brain pause for a moment.
Compound? Harmful to the human body?
Chen Qizhao asked: "What do you mean?"
Chen Shiming was standing nearby, and when he saw Chen Qizhao's expression change slightly when he answered the phone, the strange feeling in his heart became even stronger. If he was not mistaken, it was Shen Yuhuai's name on the phone screen just now.
"Most aromatherapy products on the market are produced under the premise of meeting human health standards. Aromatherapy products that do not meet the standards will have more or less effects on the human body, such as dizziness and headaches, but these problems are not serious."
Shen Yuhuai paused for a moment, stood at the door of the report room and said to Chen Qizhao: "Most of the ingredients in the test samples we brought are the same as the aromatherapy formulas on the market, but their fragrance ratio is higher. This ratio is fine in a wide space, but in a small space like a vehicle that may be closed for a long time, such fragrances will be too strong and produce a pungent smell."
"There's something wrong with the spices?" Chen Qizhao was slightly stunned. "Is that what you mean?"
"Yes, and these spices are mixed with additional compounds, which are the compounds that I told you are harmful to the human body." Shen Yuhuai explained: "Most of these compounds are colorless and odorless, and a small amount has a subtle smell. I think when making this aromatherapy, they increased the concentration of the fragrance in order to cover up some of the smell."
After he finished speaking, he explained to Chen Qizhao the effects of several major compounds. "These are fine for short-term intake, at most you will feel dizzy and have a headache, but long-term use of this type of aromatherapy will cause long-term dizziness and headaches, and even fatigue. And long-term intake of this thing is not good. This thing is a carcinogen. If people take it in for a long time in a closed space where the odor concentration reaches a certain standard, the body may develop a disease."
The lesion may be... ?
Chen Qizhao opened his mouth slightly, and his voice trembled a little when he spoke: "What serious impact will it have on people with three highs?"
Chen Shiming frowned slightly when he heard what Chen Qizhao said, "Three highs?"
"That may not be certain, we need to consult a doctor specifically." Shen Yuhuai said in a serious tone, "But these things are quite harmful to the human body, and from a possibility point of view, there should be some impact."
Chen Qizhao thought of the cerebral hemorrhage that Chen Jianhong suffered in his previous life after Chen Shiming's car accident. As a middle-aged man, Chen Jianhong had three highs and his physical condition was not as good as that of young people. If he inhaled such smells for a long time, could it be one of the reasons for his sudden cerebral hemorrhage? And there is also Zhang Yazhi... Zhang Yazhi died of a malignant tumor. Although the aromatherapy was placed in her father Chen Jianhong's car, Zhang Yazhi would occasionally take the family car when going to work.
The test results that Shen Yuhuai mentioned were nothing more than telling Chen Qizhao one thing for sure.
The tragedy of his parents in his previous life was not an accident, but a murder that had been planned for years.
It started from planning Chen Shiming’s car accident... No, the time of placing the poisonous aromatherapy was longer. The time when the two of them had the accident in the previous life was a few years later, which means they ingested these gases for several years... earlier than Chen Shiming’s car accident.
"I suggest you change the aromatherapy at home immediately, and then take Uncle Chen and Aunt Zhang to the hospital for a detailed physical examination." Shen Yuhuai nodded to a colleague passing by, "This situation is a bit serious, you'd better tell your family and call the police immediately."
He noticed the silence on the other end of the line, "Qi Zhao?"
"I know..." Chen Qizhao's reaction was a little slow. He then said, "I'll tell them."
Shen Yuhuai frowned slightly, and then asked: "Where are you now?"
Chen Qizhao paused, "Here at the company."
Shen Yuhuai noticed something strange in Chen Qizhao's tone, "Then wait for me in the company, I'll send you the inspection report."
The office was quiet. The orange light of the evening outside the window became brighter and brighter, and the light inside the room gradually dimmed.
Chen Shiming watched Chen Qizhao hang up the phone, and saw that his face was rather gloomy, so he asked, "Aromatherapy? Three highs?"
Chen Qizhao ignored Chen Shiming. His slightly confused mind was thinking about other things. Since it was confirmed that there was something wrong with the aromatherapy, where did this line about aromatherapy come from? He had never doubted the aromatherapy before, because the aromatherapy itself was purchased by Zhang Yazhi. So was there a problem with the store that made the aromatherapy, or was the aromatherapy replaced on the way to delivery?
Did Lin Shizhong place other people in Chen's family, or did he place other people in Zhang Yazhi's social circle?
A brief silence spread between the two brothers. Chen Shiming looked at Chen Qizhao, not knowing why he suddenly lost his patience. He guessed too many possibilities, and the more obvious the evidence was, the more difficult it became for him to confirm certain things.
For example, in the matter of the locator, he helped Chen Qizhao to explain the matter of the locator, otherwise the police would immediately find Chen Qizhao after questioning Master Liu. Another example is when he went to investigate the control room on the floor where the conference room was located, he noticed among the people coming and going that on the day he entered his father's office, Chen Qizhao briefly appeared near the conference room.
Sometimes, if you pay too much attention to a person, you will notice something unusual in his behavior.
The day before the locator was discovered, Chen Qizhao went to a suburban parking lot and checked all the vehicles that were sent for regular maintenance on the pretext that Zhang Yazhi had lost her earring. At the same time, on that day, according to the staff, Shen Yuhuai, who went with Chen Qizhao, took away the in-car aromatherapy samples from the vehicles on the scene... The same information came on the same day. Chen Qizhao changed his excuse to look for something at home and went in and out of the garage many times.
Going back further, it was Feihong Rongguang’s business and Ruizhen Electronics’ business…
Every time he found clues concerning major problems within the group, he could not do without Chen Qizhao.
When people outside mention his younger brother, they always criticize and ridicule him.
But Chen Shiming is not stupid. Chen Qizhao's changes and these details are simply telling him that this brother who is called a straw bag is actually not ordinary at all.
Chen Shiming had never asked before, but now the situation has escalated to the point where someone has been hired to injure someone. As the eldest brother, he must understand what role Chen Qizhao plays in this and whether he is in any danger.
"Aromatherapy, is it the sample aromatherapy that Shen Yuhuai took away from the parking lot last week?" Chen Shiming got straight to the point and pushed another document in front of Chen Qizhao: "I have had the surveillance of the parking lot moved away last week, and I have also had someone cover up the fact that you and Shen Yuhuai appeared in the parking lot, but Chen Qizhao, there are some things you must explain to me clearly."
Chen Qizhao listened to Chen Shiming's voice. He suppressed the irritation rising in his chest and reached out to take the water cup on the table.
When he picked it up, he found that the water in the cup had been drunk by him. He had no choice but to put the cup down and tried to sort out the logic in his confused brain to talk to Chen Shiming, "What did you just say? You want to know about aromatherapy?"
“The aromatherapy was discovered when Shen Yuhuai and I went to the parking lot last week. Shen Yuhuai noticed that the aromatherapy in the car smelled wrong, so he asked the staff for an instrument to take a sample and send it for inspection.”
Chen Qizhao did not call Shen Yuhuai "Brother Huai" as he did on the phone just now, but narrated a fact like a machine.
Chen Shiming's eyes darkened. "What do you mean? Something went wrong with the aromatherapy?"
Speaking of aromatherapy, Chen Qizhao's mind suddenly emerged the time when Zhang Yazhi mentioned his father Chen Jianhong some time ago, saying that the other party was a little dizzy. What was he thinking at the time? He thought that Chen Jianhong didn't take his health seriously, and he definitely didn't take the medicine properly... If he had discovered the aromatherapy thing earlier, would everything have been different...
No, it’s not the last life now. It’s still early and not a few years away.
Chen Qizhao found that he had too many things in his mind, and for a moment he almost confused the events of this life with those of his previous life. He continued, “Afterwards, I returned home and found that there were more than one incense burners that produced a pungent odor when I smelled them closely. Some of them were not used yet, and the rest were all in the old man’s car… There were 7 in total, and I took samples of all of them and sent them to Shen Yuhuai for inspection.”
Chen Shiming had been listening to Chen Qizhao’s narration and immediately reacted: “Shen Yuhuai called you just now to tell you the test results.”
"Yes, there are many toxic compounds." Chen Qizhao looked straight at Chen Shiming: "Isn't it a coincidence? We counted 7 aromatherapy products and all of them were detected. If these harmful compounds are mixed into aromatherapy products, what do you think will happen in a few years?"
Chen Shiming's pupils shrank slightly. This was no longer a simple matter. If the locator was only placed in his car to deliberately cause a car accident, then what was the purpose of placing so many aromatherapy scents in his car? If there is a problem with a single car aromatherapy, it can be said that it is a low-quality aromatherapy, but if so many aromatherapy have problems at the same time... the nature is different. If it is an aromatherapy with excessive ordinary compounds, as the car is driving and the windows are opened for ventilation, the volatilization of the gas will have a short-term impact on people.
But their car aromatherapy has to be replaced every once in a while. Replacing so many problematic aromatherapy in rotation means that these toxic compounds will continue to affect the human body. In a few years, if his parents have health problems, they may just think it is due to their old age instead of attributing it to a small car aromatherapy.
"This is murder..." Chen Shiming's voice sank.
It didn't seem to be very difficult to be frank with Chen Shiming. Seeing Chen Shiming's surprised look, Chen Qizhao suddenly remembered the way Chen Shiming looked at him when he was just reborn. Today, he seemed different in Chen Shiming's eyes. In the past, the two brothers would not have had the patience to sit down and talk together.
Chen Shiming would think he was an ignorant playboy, and he would think Chen Shiming was crazy and difficult to communicate with.
Chen Qizhao looked at Chen Shiming, trying to find some resemblance on this man's face from his previous life. Fragments of his past pointless quarrels with Chen Shiming popped up in his mind. Or he stood and looked down at Chen Shiming, who was sitting in a wheelchair with a stubble on his face.
This was the first time, there was no quarrel, no argument.
Chen Shiming was willing to listen to him like this, and he actually continued to explain patiently.
"Are you wondering now why I know so much... and who is behind all this? Then think about it again... If the locator hadn't been found, you would have had a car accident."
Chen Qizhao began to talk about a fantasy hypothesis, "Unfortunately, you are paralyzed, and I am a useless person. The old man is the only one left in the family. He is in poor health and has three highs. Mom's health is also a little problematic... In the eyes of outsiders, if the old man dies, will our Chen family fall?"
Chen Shiming did not pay attention to whether there was any problem with this assumption. His attention was all on the problematic aromatherapy. Once he thought about the possibilities behind the aromatherapy, he would find that it was a terrifying thing to think about. But his doubts came again. Where did Chen Qizhao get the clues to know so many things?
He asked: "Why didn't you tell your family about these things?"
Chen Qizhao asked back: "If there is no evidence and you have no doubts...if I point to a car and tell you that you will get into an accident in the future, will you believe it?"
He added, "You won't believe it. If it were me, I wouldn't believe it either."
Chen Shiming did not say anything. If these things were not the premise, he would have been suspicious even if his trusted assistant Xu had said it, let alone Chen Qizhao. There were many things he didn't realize before the Feihong incident. Even last year, he still had his previous impression of Chen Qizhao. If Chen Qizhao told him something without clues or evidence, he would not necessarily believe it.
"How do you know this?" Chen Shiming asked.
"I told you I overheard it accidentally, do you believe me?" Chen Qizhao smiled, and noticing Chen Shiming's silence, he said, "See? You don't believe it again."
Chen Shiming didn't say anything. In fact, he could probably guess who was behind this without Chen Qizhao telling him.
Putting aside Jiang Yuze, whose identity has not yet been investigated, he has been investigating the Lin family because of Fang Chengjie's matter during this period. Following certain clues, he can find clues, including several frictions with Yicheng before, which were vaguely caused by the Lin family. Combined with the fact that Fu Yanyu's matter was related to Yu Jie, what role did Jiang Yuze play in this, and what was the connection between Jiang Yuze and the Lin family... In fact, it is a line that can be connected only by evidence.
This is not a plan that an ordinary person can do. He knew why Chen Qizhao didn't say it before.
Because without any evidence, his behavior will only be regarded as unreasonable.
The light grew darker, and Chen Shiming suddenly realized that over the years, he seemed to have never understood Chen Qizhao.
I can't tell the difference between the person who used to make a fuss about applying for college and the person who now talks about deadly aromatherapy with a smile.
It seems like the same person, but also like there is something different.
When Shen Yuhuai arrived at the group headquarters, he learned about what happened to Chen today from a few words. He didn't ask anything. After telling the front desk his purpose, Chen Qizhao's assistant Xiao Zhou came to pick him up quickly and took him to Chen Qizhao's office.
"The boss and Mr. Chen are in the office." Xiao Zhou had received instructions from Chen Qizhao before, saying that if Shen Yuhuai came to the company to see him in the next few days, he could just bring him to the office. It was just that the boss was sleeping in the office in the afternoon, and Mr. Chen had not come out since he went in an hour ago. He had not received a response to the message he sent to the boss, so he could only take Shen Yuhuai to the vicinity of the office according to the original boss's arrangement, and knocked on the office door before letting him in after receiving a response.
When Shen Yuhuai entered the office, he found that it was dark, and the two Chen brothers were sitting on the sofa.
When Chen Shiming saw him coming, he stood up and walked over to him and said, "I heard about the aromatherapy. Is this the inspection report?"
Shen Yuhuai handed the file bag in his hand to Chen Shiming, but his peripheral vision turned to another person sitting on the sofa in the dark, "All the test reports are in it, and the samples are still in the laboratory of the institute. If you need them later, you can tell me in advance."
Chen Shiming's voice was a little hoarse. He took the document and wanted to look at it, only then he noticed the problem with the lighting.
He turned on the light in the room, and the sudden bright and dazzling light made him squint slightly.
Shen Yuhuai's gaze stopped at the sofa.
Chen Qizhao was sitting on the sofa with a coat on, and he seemed to be in a daze.
Chen Shiming was about to speak when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Qizhao's profile and his expression changed slightly.
Chen Qizhao could actually hear the noise outside. He knew Shen Yuhuai was coming when Xiao Zhou knocked on the door, but his chaotic brain seemed to be filled with all kinds of information and suspects. He found that his brain couldn't turn around at all, and it was difficult for him to react to Shen Yuhuai's arrival. He suddenly felt very tired, so tired that his throat became a little hoarse, and it felt like something was scraping his throat when he swallowed.
He was thinking, when he opened the door, there seemed to be some wind coming in. Has the temperature outside dropped?
He thought again, if it wasn’t a problem with the aromatherapy shop, who else in the family would have been hit by the car? housekeeper? Old Lin? Or other servants?
In a daze, he heard the conversation between Shen Yuhuai and Chen Shiming, and then the light in front of him turned on.
He reached out to grab the cup of water on the table, but as soon as his hand stretched out, it was suddenly grabbed by another hand.
Chen Qizhao looked to the side in surprise, and suddenly met Shen Yuhuai's eyes, and then the other person's hand pressed on his forehead.
It was large and cold. In the corner of his eye, he saw Chen Shiming hurriedly walking out.
Chen Qizhao was just wondering where Chen Shiming was going at this point, but when he glanced to the side he saw Shen Yuhuai's slightly serious expression.
"...Brother Huai?"
Shen Yuhuai frowned slightly, looked at the person with red cheeks in front of him, and took off his coat directly.
"Chen Qizhao, don't you know you have a fever?"
