On the first day back at school, Chen Qizhao first went to the counselor to cancel his leave, and then took the homework notes recorded by a kind classmate back to the dormitory. During the daytime classes, he picked and chose and did some homework, and then spent the rest of the time in the dormitory processing the various materials that had been collected from Lin Shizhong.
He has been doing this since his rebirth. Some things could not be performed due to the special circumstances before, but after dealing with some people, he can let go and focus on dealing with Lin Shizhong.
The computer screen was full of information about the drug smuggling that Fang Chengjie's company had been involved in. Although Fang Chengjie had been taken away for investigation, the matter could in a sense be considered an unfinished business. The fact that the Fang family and the Lin family had secret contact was discovered in the previous life. Fang Chengjie is considered to be a relative of Lin Shizhong.
Lin Shizhong is a cautious person and never goes about these things personally.
Even if the Lin family was found, Lin Shizhong could easily find a scapegoat to clear himself of all responsibility.
Therefore, even if there is evidence to accuse Lin Shizhong of drug smuggling, it is not enough.
If he wants to kill this man, he can only do the same as in his previous life and find more evidence to defeat Lin Shizhong in one fell swoop.
Because during this period of time Lin Shizhong was anxious to clean up Chen's tracks in order to prevent more problems from being exposed because of Jiang Yuze, in a sense this also exposed some of his own people. Chen Qizhao happened to follow this line and found two companies.
These two companies have business dealings with Lin on the surface, but they are secretly doing some shameful things for Lin, so the accounting issues are worthy of attention.
"Hey, the new bakery on campus is really good." Yan Kailin pushed the door open and put the bread and cake he bought on the table. "Brother, what are you busy with? Come and try this. It smells so good right out of the oven."
Chen Qizhao finished the work on the computer and glanced at Yan Kailin who was unpacking the package. "Ending get out of class so early?"
Yan Kailin: "It's not early at all, it's already past five o'clock."
Chen Qizhao glanced at the time and noticed that more than three hours had passed. He simply put away the interface and sat down in front of the small table spread out on the carpet. Seeing the pile of things Yan Kailin bought, he frowned slightly and asked, "Can you finish all these things you bought?"
"If you can't finish it, eat it tomorrow." Yan Kailin stuffed a mouthful of bread, "How about this for dinner?"
"Okay." Chen Qizhao didn't have any classes in the evening and didn't really want to go out.
Yan Kailin added: "Oh, by the way, Qin Yunxuan, didn't he want to date you recently but couldn't make it?"
"And then?" Chen Qizhao chewed bread and scrolled through the messages on his phone.
"No, it's just a piece of news we just got to know." Yan Kailin lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "You also know that Qin Yunxuan is not picky about who he makes friends with, but last time Cheng Rong and I saw him kissing a man..."
Chen Qizhao's gaze paused.
Yan Kailin opened two bottles of beer and continued, "Shocked, right? I thought he was straight, but he turned out to be gay."
Chen Qizhao took a sip of beer and said with little interest: "Gay? Is he a man?"
When he checked Qin Yunxuan, he found a lot of information. In terms of private life, he was no different from other rich kids, but he did have a wide circle of friends.
"It seems that more than that, he also had a girlfriend." Yan Kailin recalled, "Cheng Rong said that when he was close to Qin Xingfeng, he often heard him say bad things about Qin Yunxuan. But I really haven't thought about this question. Brother, do you think he wants to ask you out so much? Could it be that he has a crush on you?"
Chen Qizhao frowned slightly.
"You're kidding! If he dares to chase you, Cheng Rong and I will break his legs first." Yan Kailin, "We don't have to do anything, Brother Shi Ming alone will make him lose his temper."
Chen Qizhao stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth, stood up and went back to his computer desk.
Yan Kailin: "Brother, eat two more. One piece of bread won't fill you up!"
Chen Qizhao: "After you finish eating, go back to your dormitory. I will catch up on my homework."
"Your major is so annoying." Yan Kailin ate two bites of bread and left a few for Chen Qizhao. "Do you want to have a midnight snack? I'm going out with the club tonight and I'll pass by the food stall on my way back."
Chen Qizhao: "Let's talk about it later."
"You haven't had much of an appetite lately." Yan Kailin muttered a few words, "Aren't we going out together tonight? Club meeting, didn't you say you were joining the drama club?"
"When did I add it?" Chen Qizhao looked back in surprise.
"I heard about it when I went out to dinner with my brother last time. Brother Huai mentioned that you were in some drama club or something." Yan Kailin: "That's what I said. I don't remember you being in any drama club. I'm leaving now! Call me if you want a midnight snack."
The dormitory door slammed shut.
Chen Qizhao thought about it and realized that he had indeed mentioned the drama club to Shen Yuhuai, but he only said that he was a classmate in the drama club. His gaze paused slightly on the contact list on the computer's VX, and his fingertips on the mouse rubbed for a moment, finally stopping on Shen Yuhuai's profile picture.
Did Shen Yuhuai change his profile picture?
Chen Qizhao clicked on it and enlarged the portrait. His finger paused slightly and saw the magnificent fireworks under the sunset.
These are the photos I took when I went to the beach last time.
Chen Qizhao was a little absent-minded. When he picked up his phone to look for the photo gallery, he flipped through all the recent photos. When he was young, he loved taking photos, but as he got older, most of the photos in his phone albums were company documents, meeting minutes, etc.... The same is true for his phone in this life, but to be cautious, he would not keep too many things in the photos on his phone, and the photos he took after his rebirth are very few.
After scrolling down, I found that the most recent photos seemed to be of Chen Yuhuai.
Chen Qizhao clicked on a photo casually, and an inexplicable feeling came over him.
He suddenly wanted to change his profile picture, but he didn't know what to change to.
At this time, a new message popped up on the computer email, disrupting Chen Qizhao's thoughts.
He put down his phone and clicked on a document that came in.
Chen Qizhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and this opened his eyes and made him see something interesting.
Two years ago, a minor traffic accident occurred at Panshan intersection, and the driver involved was Lao Lin.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Still on holiday?" Lao Lin stood by the garage, holding two parts that had just been cleaned. He said, "I've had a good rest and can go back to work."
The housekeeper smiled and said, "This is what the master meant. He said he was going to adjust your driver's shift to give you more time to rest. Didn't he tell me that he would give you a few more weeks?"
Lao Lin paused for a moment and said, "Okay then."
"Oh, yes. You will go and deliver a document to the young master later, and you will have a day off after that." After the housekeeper finished explaining the things, he quickly went to do other things. The Chen family has four drivers, but now only two drivers are on duty. Lao Lin and another driver are taking a rest because of the shift change. He worked in the garage for a while, returned to the room, sent a text message, and quickly left with his keys and cigarettes.
When he arrived at the company, Chen Shiming's assistant, Special Assistant Xu, had already come downstairs. Lao Lin handed the documents to the assistant and drove home. Just as he drove to a traffic light, he saw the mobile phone on the dashboard light up.
He picked up his phone, read the text message, and replied slowly.
At this time, the sound of children playing came to my ears.
On the sidewalk right in front of us, parents are crossing the road with their children.
A family of three held hands, and the child's face was filled with a smile that was too dazzling.
Lao Lin's hands gripped the steering wheel a little tighter, and his foot on the brake loosened a little.
Just as the vehicle was about to slide, he was awakened by the whistle of the traffic police on duty. He stepped on the brakes, scratched his nails on the steering wheel, and watched the parent with the child leave his sight expressionlessly.
After returning to Chen's house, he heard a sound coming from the villa. He paused for a moment, and then saw Chen Qizhao coming out of the villa. He seemed to look around, and finally walked straight towards him.
"Second Young Master." Old Lin's gaze lingered on Chen Qizhao for a while. When he saw the man approaching him, he asked, "Why are you back at this time?"
"I don't have classes tomorrow morning, so I'll come back for dinner." Chen Qizhao glanced at his car, "Uncle Lin just came back?"
Lao Lin said, "I just came back from delivering a document to the young master."
"That's perfect." Chen Qizhao waved a document in front of him, "I just got my driver's license and want to try it on the road. My mother is a little worried. How about Uncle Lin, you sit in the passenger seat with me for a while?"
Inside the Chen Group, Chen Shiming had just finished a meeting and came out to get the documents from Special Assistant Xu. He lowered his eyes slightly and asked, "Did Lao Lin send it?"
"Yes, it's no different from usual, and the time is consistent with what Uncle Zhang said." Special Assistant Xu said: "After getting the documents, he delivered them immediately, without any delay."
Chen Shiming lowered his head and glanced at the document. This was actually an ordinary document. He originally wanted to test Lao Lin's condition, but he looked no different from usual. He paused for a moment and asked, "After Uncle Zhang told him that he was on vacation, he didn't say anything?"
"No, he just asked a few questions, and then accepted the leave." Special Assistant Xu suddenly remembered something and handed a document to Chen Shiming, "Boss, the second young master suddenly sent an email this morning. It's something we haven't found before. It's about a small car accident at the Panshan intersection two years ago."
"Car accident?" Chen Shiming took the document and opened it. His eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the driver who caused the accident.
The driver was Lao Lin, and the accident happened in October two years ago.
It was around three o'clock in the afternoon. Lao Lin was driving his private car through the traffic light at Panshan intersection when he failed to brake and hit a parent who was about to cross the road with his child. Fortunately, Lao Lin braked in time to avoid a serious accident. The injured parent went to the hospital for a check-up and no serious problems were found. The driver compensated the parent with some money, and the incident was finally settled privately.
Minor traffic accidents occur every day in S City, usually vehicle disputes or scratches. Accidents like the one at Panshan intersection also occur at other intersections. Most of them are either resolved through negotiation with the traffic police or privately through insurance companies. Under normal circumstances, Chen Shiming would not pay attention to such incidents.
But the key is the driver, Lao Lin.
Even drivers with decades of driving experience will encounter one or two scratches while driving on the road. Lao Lin has worked for the Chen family for many years. He has rich driving experience and has had one or two minor accidents. He usually reports them to the company or the Chen family, and the expenses are reimbursed or handled uniformly depending on the circumstances.
After the aromatherapy incident, Chen Shiming also listened to Chen Qizhao and listed Lao Lin as a key suspect, so he basically checked all the traffic accidents reported by the Chen family and found no problems. However, the report on the Panshan intersection accident that Chen Qizhao passed on to Special Assistant Xu did not exist in the Chen family's reporting records.
That is to say, when the accident happened at the Panshan intersection, Lao Lin not only did not report it to the Chen family, but someone else also cleaned up the mess for him.
Chen Shiming paused for a moment and called the housekeeper directly.
The housekeeper checked the relevant records immediately after answering the call, and then said, "Young Master, there is no accident at the Panshan intersection in the report record."
Chen Shiming frowned slightly, and felt more confident. He asked again, "Is Lao Lin at home now?"
"He just came back not long ago, but went out again just now." said the housekeeper.
Chen Shiming: "Where is he going at this time? Hasn't he been given a holiday?"
"The second young master came home half an hour ago and said he just got his driver's license and wanted to try it out on the road." The housekeeper told the family's affairs, "Old Lin happened to be back with the documents, so the second young master asked Old Lin to go out with him."
Chen Qizhao! ? What is he doing at this time! ?
Chen Shiming hung up the call with the housekeeper and asked Assistant Xu: "Has Chen Qizhao's driver's license been issued?"
"Here it is. I just gave it to Xiao Zhou two days ago." Special Assistant Xu next to him immediately looked up the relevant information and said, "Boss, the second young master has no class tomorrow morning."
Chen Shiming didn't say anything and immediately called Chen Qizhao, but the other party didn't answer.
He frowned and looked at Assistant Xu, "Check the location information of the cars at home."
Since becoming vigilant, I have turned on the GPS positioning of all vehicles I drive and monitor the vehicle's driving information at all times. Special Assistant Xu hurriedly opened the relevant software, skipped all the registered cars, excluded the cars that were on official business today, and finally locked on a car that Zhang Yazhi often drove out.
Special Assistant Xu said: "Found it."
Chen Shiming said in a serious voice: "Where is it?"
Special Assistant Xu's pupils shrank slightly, and he was not sure in his tone: "This direction... is near the winding mountain road."
Chen Shiming sat up straight suddenly, and tightened his grip on the phone. "What is he doing?!"
The interior of the moving vehicle was very quiet. Lao Lin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was paying attention to the surrounding intersections while the vehicle was driving smoothly.
"Second Young Master, the phone rang twice." Old Lin glanced at the cell phone placed in the storage area.
Chen Qizhao hung up the phone and turned on the silent mode. He said casually, "You can't answer the phone while driving, right? Uncle Lin."
Old Lin looked at the young man who was driving seriously and responded, "It is indeed unsafe to answer the phone while driving."
The scenery directly in front of me shuttled by, and the shops on both sides passed by.
Chen Qizhao looked straight ahead and didn't drive very fast, only about thirty seconds.
He spoke as if speaking a normal conversation: "Uncle Lin has been driving around here for more than ten years, right? Have you memorized some of the roads?"
"Once you are familiar with the road, you will naturally remember it." Lao Lin looked straight ahead, paying attention to the road conditions. "Young Master, drive for a few more years. Once you are familiar with the roads around here, driving will be smoother."
"After driving for a long time, shouldn't you be able to remember the time of traffic lights?" Chen Qizhao turned a corner and entered another intersection. "When I was riding in the car before, I felt that the time of red lights on this road was really long."
"I can remember it clearly. Sometimes the road conditions and speed limits, and red lights cannot be avoided." Lao Lin explained: "Occasionally, my husband is in a hurry, and we will choose to take the highway and then change routes during rush hour."
Just as I said this, the red light in front of me came on.
Chen Qizhao parked the car and saw quite a few people walking on the sidewalk.
"I see." Chen Qizhao suddenly laughed: "Then Uncle Lin, can you tell me where I'm going now?"
Lao Lin paused for a moment, looking away from the sidewalk, and scratched his hands on his knees.
The road is familiar to the driver, and some roads are connected to those intersections. In fact, it is a complete three-dimensional map in the driver's mind.
He paused for a while and said, "The next intersection is Huiyang Road, and further ahead is Panshan Road."
Chen Qizhao said nothing.
Old Lin unconsciously tilted his head and looked at the young man sitting in the driver's seat. Chen Qizhao's hair was slightly loose, and the seat belt fastened on him bound his body tightly. He held the steering wheel with one hand, and the other hand was resting on the car's transmission. He could touch the operating lever with just a slight stretch of his hand.
At this time, the red light passed by one second at a time, and the boy's fingers kept tapping on the gearshift.
Pause-pause--as if he was a little annoyed, but also as if he was expecting something.
Lao Lin's gaze stopped under the dashboard, where the brake and accelerator were located.
The green light came on and the cars around started moving.
The boy skillfully released the brake and slowly stepped on the accelerator.
Lao Lin shifted his gaze away and then looked at the passers-by on the road on both sides.
There are fewer pedestrians and vehicles here.
The car gradually became quiet, with only the continuous buzzing sound of the cell phone. The boy didn't care about the incoming call at all, and didn't even want to answer it, but his attention was straight ahead.
Lao Lin stopped in such a quiet environment and felt a little annoyed by the vibration sound.
Chen Qizhao didn't say anything. It seemed that he was the only one left in the car.
The car slowly passed Huiyang intersection, and the surrounding vehicles gradually overtook them so that they had no other vehicles.
The familiar scene of the winding mountain road gradually came into Lao Lin's sight. He put his hands on his knees, and a wrong perception emerged in his mind. The vibration sound stopped at some point, as if he was driving on this road himself.
At this time, Chen Qizhao changed lanes and then stepped on the accelerator.
The car accelerated at only 30, and the gradually increasing speed gave people a sudden contrast.
There was a sudden sound of the accelerator, and the howling of the wind came through the half-open window, as if it was getting faster and faster...
Lao Lin's expression took on a sinister look, and his feet were treading uneasily on something.
The perception in his mind became more and more real, and he knew what would happen next.
There is a red light at the intersection of Panshan Road, and the sidewalk is right in front of us.
Step on it, step on it, step on it...
Lao Lin's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and his foot unconsciously moved forward, stepping on the non-existent accelerator.
Chen Qizhao suddenly said: "Open the car window, the wind is coming in through the window, whirring..."
Just then, the whistling wind stopped.
The car windows were closed and the environment suddenly became quiet.
The windshield was moving at a constant speed, and the sound was not as terrible as the howling wind just now.
The car is not going fast.
Old Lin suddenly woke up and looked fiercely at the young man sitting in the driver's seat.
"Does it feel fast?" Chen Qizhao said in a normal tone, "Once you step on the accelerator, the whole car will gradually accelerate under your control. If you step on it all the way, it will accelerate to the extreme, with the sound of the engine and the warning on the dashboard."
The boy's voice was very clear in the quiet carriage, without any fluctuations in tone.
Lao Lin tightened his grip on his knees.
The young man who was driving released his foot on the accelerator, merged into the traffic flow, and stopped smoothly behind the vehicle in front.
"Uncle Lin, you didn't remind me to close the window." Chen Qizhao glanced at Old Lin from the corner of his eye. "Look at the 65 I just drove. The window has a crack, so it feels like a 90. The wind noise is quite creepy, don't you think?"
There was a traffic sign on the roadside with a speed limit of 80. The traffic light at the Panshan intersection was red, so Chen Qizhao stopped behind the traffic.
Lao Lin said, "I just forgot."
"So sometimes I hate opening the car window. I always feel like the car is out of control." Chen Qizhao said calmly, "But that's true. Uncle Lin is an experienced driver and is very confident about the speed of the car. He must have known it, otherwise you would have pulled the handbrake just now."
Old Lin didn't say anything, his eyes stayed on Chen Qizhao.
The other party is like a young man who has just started his journey. Any little news can make him panic.
"Once the second young master is familiar with driving, he won't be afraid of these things anymore." Lao Lin said.
"Really?" Chen Qizhao chuckled. "No more, time to go home and eat."
He asked again: "Which way should we turn to go back?"
Lao Lin pointed in the direction, and Chen Qizhao followed the steps, successfully turned at the intersection and went straight back to the Chen family.
It was already a little late when he got home. He backed the car into the garage, borrowed the seat belt and got out of the car. "Thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry to bother Uncle Lin to accompany me."
Lao Lin got down from the passenger seat and said, "It's okay. This is what I should do."
Chen Qizhao gave him a meaningful look and asked, "Are you going to eat, Uncle Lin?"
Lao Lin closed the car door and said, "Second Young Master, go ahead. I'll check the car first. I just felt that the position of the tire seemed a little unstable."
Chen Qizhao did not stop. When he came out of the garage, he looked back at the driver Lao Lin who was squatting near the tire and observing.
After retracting his gaze, he recalled the look he had just gotten from the other person in the car. It was a look that was almost crazy and wanted to get closer desperately. He ignored several missed calls on his phone page, and after unlocking the phone, a page of clear accident report details appeared.
——'The driver explained that the accident occurred because he misread the red light and failed to brake in time. '
Chen Qizhao lowered his eyes slightly, and when he raised them again, there was a hint of awe in his eyes.
Was it a real traffic accident, or did he really want to rush forward at that time...
At this time, a burst of light came from outside the villa.
Chen Qizhao looked up and saw Chen Shiming's car turning in from the door.
Before the car reached the garage, Chen Shiming got out of the car. He walked up to Chen Qizhao and looked at him with a serious look.
"Driving practice." Chen Qizhao paused, thinking of the missed calls, and explained, "I was driving at the time, I couldn't answer the phone, right?"
Chen Shiming's expression was gloomy and terrifying. He lowered his voice and said, "Chen Qizhao, are you crazy?"
Chen Qizhao's eyes were slightly stunned.
Chen Shiming was very angry. He said directly: "You knew he had problems, but you still went out with him alone. If he wanted to attack you, how would you deal with it alone?"
He blurted out all his words in one go, and suddenly noticed the silence of the boy in front of him.
Chen Shiming realized that his tone was too harsh, "You..."
"Don't worry." Chen Qizhao said in a relaxed tone: "I'm not crazy yet."
