Chapter 158 She Doesn't Like Bald Men
Shen Zhiye listened to his son explain the matter in the garden for the time it takes to smoke a cigarette.
He sneered and stubbed out his cigarette in the crystal ashtray. "Yanzhou, you must already have a plan in mind. Just go for it. Your father will support you."
“Yes, I know,” Shen Yanzhou had anticipated this. “For now, we’re just preparing for the worst. If things get serious in Hong Kong, we’ll use your connections.”
Shen Yunqi heard his father's voice and answered the phone, "Old Shen."
"how?"
"Are you smoking?" Shen Yunqi asked.
"What are you trying to do?" Shen Zhiye asked impatiently.
"Yan Buyu said, if you smoke for a few more years, you'll get used to the smell and start to smell like an old man."
Shen Zhiye: ...
He cursed his son inwardly twice.
His gaze fell on the cigarettes on the table; his wife had mentioned it many times before.
Should I quit?
Shen Yunqi hung up the phone with a smile, only to see Si Jingxu looking smug.
He's had his share of relationships, and he knows why.
They either kissed or hugged.
Ugh, this is so annoying.
I really want to drag Wu Xiaoyang back and beat him up again.
Shen Yanzhou didn't notice. "Jingxu, you know the whole story. Now I need your help with a problem."
"What?" Si Jingxu sat down opposite Shen Yanzhou, a smile still playing on his lips.
"Gu Feng lost track of Wu Xiaoyang and his group after they were taken away. Now I need you to use your company's surveillance system to find out where they went."
“No problem. I’ll get their footage from your building’s security cameras and give it to my people. It won’t take long.” Si Jingxu took a glass of wine and took a sip.
“I had Gu Feng do it.” Shen Yanzhou picked up his wine glass. “That police commissioner has a lot of dirt on him.”
“There are a few clean people in that position.” Si Jingxu also knew what Shen Yanzhou was going to do. “There are even more people watching his position.”
“Then let’s just say he’s unlucky,” Shen Yanzhou raised his glass and clinked it against Si Jingxu’s. “How’s Bu Yu doing?”
When the topic turned to Yan Buyu, Si Jingxu's mood noticeably improved. "I'm fine."
Shen Yunqi was even more annoyed.
He silently drank a glass of wine.
"President Shen," Gu Feng said, walking in quickly, looking very troubled, "the image can't be retrieved."
Shen Yanzhou asked, puzzled, "What do you mean? What do you mean by 'not being able to retrieve it'?"
“It’s just that…” Gu Feng himself was also surprised, “The scenes of the people who took away Wu Xiaoyang have all been lost.”
This time, not only Shen Yanzhou, but also Shen Yunqi and Si Jingxu looked over.
"You mean, someone hacked into our security system, only deleted the footage of them, and didn't touch anything else, right?" Shen Yanzhou's brows furrowed even more.
Gu Feng nodded, "Yes."
This was the first time he had ever encountered something like this.
"Just who is this guy?" Shen Yunqi wondered. "He looks like a gangster's henchman, so how come he has such a skilled hacker by his side? He hacked into our security system, and no one noticed?"
Si Jingxu stroked his silver ring. Tattoos, gangsters, foreigners around him, and such great power…
A figure came to mind.
That person has that ability.
However, it definitely wasn't him.
Firstly, he is far away in Italy.
Secondly, he wouldn't be so eager to help others or meddle in other people's trivial matters.
In just two seconds, Si Jingxu dismissed the thought that had suddenly popped into his head.
“Alright,” Shen Yanzhou raised his hand, “First, have the technical department restore the data, then have the Hong Kong side keep an eye on things, and report immediately if there is any movement from Wu Xiaoyang.”
They've already considered the worst-case scenario, and even if it happens, they have countermeasures in place.
"We've gone through all this trouble for such a small thing. All colleagues who worked overtime today will receive five times their regular salary, plus meal and transportation allowances."
Si Jingxu walked out of the building with the two Shen brothers. "Did you find Buyu's phone?"
“Hmm,” Shen Yanzhou took his sister’s phone out of his pocket, “It was secretly taken by that waitress.”
Si Jingxu almost forgot about this one. "What happened to that woman?"
"The police have taken them away," Shen Yanzhou said calmly. "They've all confessed."
Si Jingxu glanced at Yan Buyu's phone again, "Don't give Buyu anything that woman's dirty hands have touched."
"That's what I was thinking too. I replaced it with the same one, and I can have her export the data when she gets home."
“No need to go home,” Shen Yunqi said after a long silence. “I know her password. I’ll transfer all the data to her in the car so she can use it directly when she gets home.”
Shen Yanzhou: ...I'm so envious.
Si Jingxu: I'm so envious...
After washing up at home, Yan Buyu was very sleepy, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did.
Habits can be really scary.
Lately, she has been talking to Si Jingxu every night before going to bed.
Several times I fell asleep with the voice chat on.
My phone isn't with me today, and I feel like something's missing.
The kiss in the car, which wasn't exactly a kiss, still makes her lips feel tingly.
Unable to sleep, she simply took out her game console and started farming.
At one o'clock in the morning, there was a light knock on the door twice.
She immediately opened the door, wearing slippers.
Her older brother and younger brother were standing outside the door.
“I knew she wasn’t asleep,” Shen Yunqi said knowingly. “She’s probably farming again, right? She’s silent.”
"Big brother, big brother, you just got back. Are you tired? Are you hungry? How are you?" Yan Buyu felt sorry for the two of them.
"I just got home. I'm not tired or hungry. Nothing has happened yet, but don't worry, I've already taken precautions," Shen Yanzhou replied one by one.
"Here, your phone," Shen Yunqi handed her the new phone, "I got you a new one, and all the data has been transferred."
"Oh, okay." Without asking any further questions, Yan Buyu could roughly guess what was going on.
"Alright, go to sleep early," Shen Yanzhou rubbed her head. "You don't need to get up early tomorrow."
Goodnight, big brother. Goodnight, elder brother.
Five minutes after Yan Buyu got her phone, her boyfriend sent her a bedtime call request...
At 3 a.m., most people are in a deep sleep.
This is the perfect time to do something shady.
Several black Land Rovers without license plates were parked along the riverbank in Beijing.
Song Jingyi leaned against the car door and lit a cigarette.
A ripple appeared on the river surface, then gradually calmed down.
In the quiet night, it was as if nothing had happened.
“Boss,” A-Cheng walked over with a smile, took a cigarette from the pack on the hood of the car and lit it, “when are we going back to Italy?”
"Who said I was going back to Italy?" Song Jingyi flicked his cigarette ash expressionlessly. "Find two good-looking guys to follow her."
"Am I good enough?" Acheng stood up straight and straightened his shirt. "I'm good-looking."
"You?" Song Jingyi didn't even lift his eyelids. "She doesn't like bald heads."
Acheng: "Discrimination based on appearance is prohibited."
——————————
With Si Jingxu by her side to fall asleep, Yan Buyu slept soundly all night and didn't dream much.
The next day, she woke up groggily and checked the time on her phone. A news popped up on a media app.
Her last bit of drowsiness vanished instantly.
"Wu Mouyang, a resident of Gangcheng, is suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol. His car went out of control, crashed into the green belt, and plunged into the river. It was pulled out of the water in the early morning. Both people in the car had no vital signs. Sealed white powder, suspected to be drugs, was found on his companion. He has now been sent to the public security authorities for testing."
