MTL - Little Madman’s Guide to Acting Good-Chapter 78
"Yu Huai?" Shen Xuelan in the co-pilot urged.
"Good night."
Shen Yuhuai glanced at Chen Qizhao, turned and got into the driver's seat, the door closed immediately.
The car started, Chen Qizhao took two steps back and watched the Shen family's car drive away from the Chen family villa.
When the car was far away, Chen Qizhao looked down at his fingers, and after a while, he followed the footsteps of his family and entered the villa.
Not long after entering the villa, Chen Jianhong greeted Chen Shiming and planned to go to the study. He saw Chen Qizhao not far away and said, "Xiao Zhao, come here too."
Chen Qizhao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Chen Jianhong's study is generally less crowded, and even the housekeeper needs permission from Chen Jianhong to enter, and Chen Jianhong often discusses work with Chen Shiming in it. It was the first time that he entered Chen Jianhong's study without quarreling. After Chen Qizhao entered, he did not go to the desk, but sat down on the sofa beside the bookcase, looking at the two people at the desk who were sorting documents.
What he was doing in the study, he could probably guess, it was nothing more than the jade necklace of the Gu family.
As expected, it didn't take long for Chen Shiming to speak very simply, turning the topic to the Gu family necklace, and relaying what Chen Qizhao said earlier to Chen Jianhong.
Chen Qizhao listened to Chen Shiming's words, looked down at the phone slightly, and Shen Yuhuai's chat interface was open on the page.
It is a little far from Chen's house to Shen's house, it takes about half an hour to drive, and it may be a little later in case of traffic jams. He looked down at Shen Yuhuai's head, thinking of his actions not long ago... Could it be that he was wrong?
Chen Qizhao clicked on Shen Yuhuai's avatar, entered and exited, thinking aimlessly.
After a while, Chen Shiming finished conveying his views and said, "Qi Zhao said so, we also have to consider whether there is a possibility of greater capital being involved in the Lin family."
The voices in the study stopped.
Chen Qizhao came back to his senses, turned off the screen of his phone, and when he looked up, he noticed two people in the study looking at him.
"Finished?" Chen Qizhao asked, "Do you want to send the necklace?"
"It is more likely that the necklace stays with us and causes problems."
Chen Shiming recovered a little when he heard the words, and explained: "Send is definitely to send."
Chen Qizhao snorted, just about to give them some advice, when he suddenly noticed the gaze of another person in front of him.
Chen Jianhong's eyes stopped on Chen Qizhao, his eyes were all scrutinized with substance, and staring for a long time would give people a feeling of breathless oppression. Chen Qizhao used to hate this kind of sight, because it always made him feel a pressure from the outside, which made him involuntarily reflect on whether he did something wrong.
In the past life, when Chen Jianhong looked at him like this, he couldn't help but resist.
Chen Qizhao's eyes also fell on Chen Jianhong, maybe because of the light, from his point of view, he suddenly felt that Chen Jianhong's face seemed a little old, he retracted his gaze a little, thought to himself It's true that with so many things happening during this time, how could he be better off as a direct party.
"How many things have you found?" Chen Jianhong asked.
"What I found, I have basically told you what was confirmed." Chen Qizhao said: "I can send you the information you want about Gu Shen later..."
"Son." Chen Jianhong's voice suddenly sank a little.
Chen Qizhao was stunned for a moment, only to realize that Chen Jianhong was calling him.
I know, you also know the truth about Lin Shizhong's drug use for you, how much did you investigate by yourself from the beginning to the end?"
Chen Shiming also looked at Chen Qizhao. He had the same opinion as Chen Jianhong on this matter. Chen Qizhao checked too many things...even most of them were not known to them.
The trend of things is getting bigger and bigger.
Chen Shiming explained: "Our grievances and grievances with the Lin family have gone from the past life to the present, and it is difficult to explain what is involved in a few words. If more interests are involved, the impact and danger will be brought. Impossible to estimate.”
"How many...?"
Chen Qizhao paused, and when he heard Chen Jianhong's question, he suddenly said, "I said I had a dream, do you believe it?"
Chen Jianhong looked at Chen Qizhao and suddenly said sharply: "Nonsense!"
Now, I dreamed that my mother died of a tumor, that Chen Shiming was paralyzed in a car accident, that Lin Shizhong was deliberately planning to bring down the Chen family for decades, and that he colluded with the Gu family."
Chen Shiming listened to the Arabian Nights in Chen Qizhao's mouth, and a hesitant look appeared on his face.
Chen Qizhao's eyes stopped on Chen Shiming, and when he saw Chen Jianhong's still serious face, he laughed: "Look, you don't believe it."
"Do you think what you said is believable?" Chen Jianhong took a deep breath, "Do you know how dangerous this is? Lin Shizhong may be a desperado, the more you investigate The more the more dangerous, if he wants to target you, how do you avoid it?"
The absurd rebirth is like a beautiful dream of rescuing.
Sure enough, the study is not a good place. Every time he comes, he always quarrels with Chen Jianhong.
"A friend I know helped me to check. His methods are concealed, and it is not easy to be found when checking things. All the information you want to know comes from him. As for Lin Shizhong, it was before I found out that he was wrong, I found out the problem with my friends, I didn't know much earlier than you." Chen Qizhao looked at them and explained in a relaxed tone: "You also know that for people like me, Lin Shizhong doesn't even bother to look away. In me, he is wary of you, but not of me."
Chen Shiming looked at him, his tone could not help slowing down: "Chen Qizhao."
Chen Qizhao didn't want to stay in this space, if he stayed any longer, he might really want to quarrel with Chen Jianhong, he opened the door directly: "You guys talk."
Chen Jianhong just wanted to speak when he saw Chen Qizhao closing the door, leaving him not even a shadow of his back.
He squeezed his eyebrows, his tone was a little tired: "Is my tone too heavy?"
"Maybe we used the wrong method." Chen Shiming said: "Let's ask him another day when he is in a better mood."
Outside the study, Chen Qizhao's hands trembled a little when he closed the door.
He frowned, calming some anxiety in his body, pressing down on his body that was shaking due to emotional fluctuations.
When the sudden surge of emotion dissipated, he stood up straight, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Zhang Yazhi standing in front of him.
"Did you quarrel with your father?" Zhang Yazhi looked at him.
"No quarrel." Chen Qizhao avoided her gaze, "I don't quarrel with them."
Zhang Yazhi took his hand, "then let's ignore them, go and go to the living room to watch the TV series with my mother. The little artist you signed last time has a new drama, and it looks like it's filmed. not bad."
Chen Qizhao's eyes were a little stunned, but Zhang Yazhi had already taken his hand and talked about the content of the TV series. The hand that was still a little trembling was pulled by the other party, as if it suddenly calmed down at some point.
When she got to the living room, Chen Qizhao's mood had completely calmed down.
Zhang Yazhi asked the housekeeper to bring the fruit, "Don't pay attention to your father and brother, the two of them will be businesslike when they talk about work, the tone of their speech is the same, sometimes I have to be beaten by you Dad is half pissed."
Chen Qizhao's eyes stopped on Zhang Yazhi's healthy and rosy face, and her mood improved inexplicably, "Did they tell you about the jade necklace?"
"Said." Zhang Yazhi looked at Chen Qizhao after hearing the words, and seemed to notice something, "If you mind, mom won't give it to them."
Chen Qizhao opened his mobile phone, opened a page and handed it to Zhang Yazhi, "The haute couture store you like very much has new seasonal products."
Zhang Yazhi stopped.
"I don't know what you like." Chen Qizhao looked away, "Tell me if you like it, I'll buy it for you."
Zhang Yazhi didn't answer the phone and couldn't help but said, "Isn't this a waste of money? You said a while ago that you need to invest money, use money to invest, mother's bags and jewelry are enough..."
"I made a lot of money during this time." Chen Qizhao heard the words: "If you don't choose, then I will buy the new ones."
Only then did Zhang Yazhi take over the phone. She said critically, "It depends on which designer is the new one in their house. The store is good or not, but there are a few designers who don't look good."
Chen Qizhao didn't speak, quietly watching Zhang Yazhi swiping her phone with an expression of interest on her face.
He stretched out his fingers and leaned back on the sofa in a relaxed manner.
Chen Qizhao watched the TV series on the TV and listened to Zhang Yazhi's picky words when choosing things, inexplicably came to his mind the empty living room of the apartment in his previous life, the newly bought TV I bought it for a few years and didn't open it very much. The only use in the living room is the sofa, and occasionally I can sit and read documents when I am tired.
Chen Shiming was fine when he was there, and occasionally he could be seen sitting in the living room.
When Chen Shiming was away, the living room was really quiet. Chen Qizhao thought of moving out of the villa with Chen Shiming at first. After choosing an apartment, because he often went home and quarreled with Chen Shiming, he also bought another suite near the company. When the quarrel was big, he basically didn't go home, so he made do with the company's lounge. Or live in a nearby house.
After Chen Shiming was gone, he didn't go back to the company's suite, but sat on the sofa looking at the photos.
The memories of Chen Jianhong and Zhang Yazhi are even longer... They died too early, and what they left to them is always the appearance of nothing.
new ending.
Chen Qizhao was thinking when he suddenly heard footsteps.
He tilted his head slightly and saw Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming approaching, and then sat down beside him and Zhang Yazhi.
Chen Jianhong coughed after sitting down and looked at Zhang Yazhi next to him, "What are you looking at?"
"Look at things, Xiao Zhao wants to buy me a bag." Zhang Yazhi kept her eyes fixed, "Didn't you talk about work in the study?"
"Work is over." Chen Jianhong looked at the TV in front of him, and he couldn't name the actors on the TV.
Only when watching a TV series, the corner of the eye swept to Chen Qizhao not far away.
Chen Qizhao looked at Chen Shiming.
Chen Shiming noticed Chen Qizhao's gaze, "Is there something on my face?"
Chen Qizhao looked away, "No, you sit on the left and right, like a door god."
Chen Shiming: “…”
The TV is still playing a TV series. Nie Chenxiao's new costume drama plays a righteous hero in it. The liveliness in the living room seemed to overlap with the liveliness in the TV series, but Chen Qizhao didn't feel noisy at all, on the contrary, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
"Xiao Zhao, Yu Huai seems to have sent you a message." Zhang Yazhi just chose the bag, and handed the phone to Chen Qizhao, "I have chosen it."
Chen Qizhao paused for a while after hearing the words, took the phone and opened it to see the picture Shen Yuhuai sent him.
The picture shows a new pot of succulent, as always, it looks like the two of them say good night to each other every night.
Tonight's abrupt behavior didn't seem to break anything, and it seemed to break some kind of restriction, and unknowingly became a tacit behavior.
Chen Qizhao felt a little itchy in his fingers. He did not reply to the message immediately, but quit to place an order for the bag that Zhang Yazhi chose.
When she mentioned Shen Yuhuai, Zhang Yazhi suddenly thought of something: "Oh, right, I talked about it during dinner. Isn't it Yu Huai's birthday next week? The Shen family is planning to have a birthday party."
The Shen family really wanted to hold a birthday party. Shen Yuhuai was not in S City very much before, and he never did a big birthday party.
During dinner in the evening, Shen's mother mentioned this matter. It happened that Shen Yuhuai was in S City this year and was thinking of having a birthday party.
Chen Qizhao was a little taken aback when it came to the birthday banquet. He glanced at the date and realized that Shen Yuhuai's birthday was less than half a month away.
Too many things have happened recently, and his cognition of the date is a little slow.
Shen Yuhuai rarely celebrates birthdays. In the last life, when Shen Yuhuai celebrated his birthday, the two only mentioned Shen Yuhuai's birthday. In his memory, Shen Yuhuai celebrated several birthdays for him, but he only had time to celebrate Shen Yuhuai's birthday once. At other times, either Shen Yuhuai stayed in a secret research institute, or he went on a business trip because he was busy with work.
It disappeared after that, Shen Yuhuai died.
Chen Qizhao's fingers stopped at the chat box, he said that he always felt that he had forgotten something recently.
So he almost forgot Shen Yuhuai's birthday.
Chen Qizhao asked, "Are you going to have a birthday party?"
Zhang Yazhi: "It should be, your aunt is very attentive."
Chen Qizhao got up and said, "You guys talk, I'm going to bed."
Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming looked at Chen Qizhao together.
The latter took the phone and went upstairs without looking back.
He looked at the messages on his phone again and found that Shen Yuhuai had sent him two more succulent pictures.
If he doesn't reply, the meaty photos will continue to be posted.
Chen Qizhao leaned against the door, the brightness of the phone screen illuminated his face.
He rummaged through the only emojis in his phone, picked one and sent it out.
When Shen Yuhuai came out of the bathroom, he just saw the phone light up.
He turned on the phone, and his eyes darkened a bit when he saw the emoji inside. The cute kitten on the emoji seemed to overlap with the straight eyes in the night.
Under the appearance of being well-behaved, she is showing her teeth and claws.
[- Zhao: Are you home? ]
[-Shen Yuhuai: Here we go. ]
[- Zhao: Back to the institute tomorrow? ]
[-Shen Yuhuai: Well, there is an experimental plan, and it is estimated that I will be busy for a few days. ]
Chen Qizhao looked at the news on the chat interface, his eyes sank a little.
I have been busy for a few days, that is, I have no time for these two days.
He was a little uncertain about Shen Yuhuai's attitude, and tapped his finger on the screen.
At this time, a video phone suddenly popped up.
Chen Qizhao moved his fingertips slightly and touched the green button that was connected, and Shen Yuhuai's voice came out through the receiver.
"Why so dark?"
Chen Qizhao was stunned for a moment, then pressed the switch beside the door, "It's on."
He looked at Shen Yuhuai in the video, the latter seemed to have just taken a shower, without glasses, his wet hair was loose, the buttons on the top of his pajamas were almost open, and his skin seemed to be slightly Red, with a bath towel draped over his shoulders.
The eyes of the two met briefly, Chen Qizhao's eyes moved down and stopped at the other's Adam's apple.
"Just returned to the room?" Shen Yuhuai asked.
Chen Qizhao lied without changing his face: "Well."
Shen Yuhuai suddenly said, "Your eyes are moving again."
Chen Qizhao blinked and said casually, "My eyes are a little sore."
"The experiment may be busy for a few days...there should be no time to go out these two days."
Shen Yuhuai said, "Do you have time on Wednesday night?"
Chen Qizhao narrowed his eyes: "Yes."
"Okay." Shen Yuhuai wiped his hair, "Then I'll pick you up from school."
His eyes stopped on Chen Qizhao's face, "Good night then?"
"Good night."
The room was quiet, Shen Yuhuai's voice seemed to be the only sound source.
After the call ended, the whole room returned to silence.
Chen Qizhao suddenly felt that the call hung up too early.
He stood at the door for a while, his eyes stayed on the switch for a moment, he walked to the table and turned on the computer, and soon the screen lit up, and he turned on the computer to download data.
He sat for a while, and finally went to the bathroom to take a quick shower.
After coming out, click on the computer's audio.
The audio is the recording of the confession made by Lao Lin last time. Chen Shiming took a copy and sent a copy to him.
The recording is just a few clips, and the voices in it are different. It can only be said that it is evidence that someone else instigated Lao Lin to commit the crime, and no other details can be heard. Moreover, Lin Shizhong would not do things like this by making phone calls and sending text messages himself. In the end, what he heard from the details of the recording might be an irrelevant person around Lin Shizhong.
When Chen Qizhao was reading documents at home, he would click on this recording to listen.
Now that this recording has been listened to for the fifth time, he did not see the details, but he had doubts about Lao Lin's confession at that time. From the confession of the driver, Lao Lin, he is very sure that the man behind the scenes is a lunatic, and not a small person... It gives the impression that he is very sure of the identity of the instigator.
Lao Lin has met Lin Shizhong. If he is so sure of who is behind the scenes, he can just confess Lin Shizhong directly.
But Lao Lin didn't, which means that there is still a problem with this matter... The recording is only evidence of the order, and the problem is still in this photo sent by Lao Lin.
The car in the photo, the people standing beside the car, are parked on the street near Lin's company.
It is impossible for Lao Lin to directly judge who is behind the scenes from the phone, and he doesn't believe what he says, it lacks logical basis. Let's assume it's another situation... The person who instructed Lao Lin to commit the crime through phone calls and text messages may be a little scoundrel, but in fact, Lao Lin accidentally learned who was behind all this through some means. He had seen that person, so It's a lunatic to be able to call each other out for sure.
Maybe he doesn't know the name of the person behind the scene, but he must have seen it.
Chen Qizhao's eyes stopped on the photo, that is the person in the car.
In addition to Lin Shizhong, who else could be in the car?
Lin Shizhong's subordinate? Or someone else?
There are several waves of people investigating the photo, but they have not been able to find out who is standing beside the car and who the car belongs to... Chen Qizhao is a little unsure, and he always feels that something has happened to him Oversight.
He was thinking when Yan Kailin, who went out to sing K with others, sent him a message.
[-Yan Kailin: Brother, are you going back to school tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? ]
[- Zhao: Tomorrow. ]
Chen Qizhao suddenly thought of something, his eyes stayed on the calendar on the desktop for a moment, he directly pressed Yan Kailin's voice: "Are you free tomorrow night? Go buy something with me."
Yan Kailin quickly replied: "Ah? Yes, what to buy!"
Chen Qizhao lit a cigarette, "birthday gift."
The night is destined to be very quiet.
On the other side of S city, Lin Shizhong had just ended the phone call, and the matter of the Sun family was difficult to resolve in a short time. In the end, he had to give up a few businesses before barely slipping out of the eyes of the regulatory authorities.
He looked at the information on the computer and dialed the other side.
The person on the other end of the phone was quickly connected, Lin Shizhong briefly said about the Sun family, "Your plan is to act later, at least you have to arrange this matter, otherwise It's difficult for Chen's side to arrange."
The person on the other end of the phone smiled, "Okay, then wait for you to finish the Sun's family in advance. There is one thing I want to remind you, the necklace that was lost at the charity meeting, Haven't you dealt with it yet?"
"At the Chen family's side, when the Chen family's affairs are over, I will help you get the necklace back." Due to various factors, he couldn't get this necklace in front of him, and it would be bad for both parties to make a big noise.
"I said, if you can't get rid of the necklace, don't let this necklace appear. The old man hasn't stepped down, so many people are watching." The person on the phone said: "Gu Zhengxun You also know the news in S City."
Lin Shizhong paused, "I know, the necklace was discovered by Gu Zhengxun?"
"Gu Zhengxun asked someone for Jade's information." The person on the phone said, "Don't worry, I have something to deal with now."
Lin Shizhong: "Urgent?"
The voice of the person on the phone was a bit sinister, "Someone found me."
In the Shen family villa, Shen Yuhuai suddenly received a call from Yan Kaiqi.
Yan Kaiqi's voice was a little deep, "Yu Huai, someone is following my ip."
