Little Madman's Guide to Acting Good

Chen Qizhao's attention was drawn back, his eyes stayed on Shen Yuhuai's fingers for a moment, and then he replied: "No."

The other party's hand had already left, and Shen Yuhuai's expression remained the same, as if he was just asking a simple question.

Chen Qizhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and the feeling just now seemed to be lingering on his legs. Through a little fabric, he seemed to be able to feel the body temperature of Shen Yuhuai beside him.

Before he could speak, Shen Yuhuai had already explained to him the purpose of the Gu family's coming to the Chen family, diverting his attention.

"The Gu family specifically asked my mother for help, and hoped to contact Aunt Zhang through her relationship." Shen Yuhuai leaned closer to Chen Qizhao, and explained to him in a low voice, "It was because of the emerald necklace you sent to Aunt Zhang for the photo. "

Chen Qizhao's gaze instantly stopped on the jewelry box beside Chen Jianhong in the distance. He pretended not to know the truth and asked curiously, "What do they want this necklace for?"

"It seems to be related to some inheritance of the Gu family. The specific side has not been disclosed, but it should be very important, so Uncle Gu will come here in person." Shen Yuhuai explained: "However, Aunt Zhang is still hesitating and has not agreed yet."

necklace……

Chen Qizhao recalled the matter of this necklace. At the beginning, he took pictures of this necklace to break the connection between Lin Shizhong and the Gu family. According to the rumors he heard in his previous life, it was because of the emerald necklace that Lin Shizhong hooked up with Gu Zhengsong. Will get help from the Gu family later.

At that time, he didn't think about the necklace. To him, it was a good thing that could ruin Lin Shizhong, but now the necklace didn't come into Gu Zhengsong's hands. Instead, by chance, it caught the attention of Gu Zhengxun, the eldest son of Gu.

Chen Qizhao hesitated a little, but after hearing what Shen Yuhuai said, he couldn't help thinking about the feasibility of something in his mind.

If the timeline is not wrong, the head of the Gu family at this stage is about to abdicate and is hesitating between the two heirs.

The eldest son, Gu Zhengxun, has been in touch with the affairs of the Gu family for many years. He was originally the preferred heir of the head of the Gu family.And Gu Zhengsong's methods were ruthless, and he killed Gu Zhengxun's family after he came to power, but Gu Zhengxun was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the struggle between the two brothers of the Gu family continued for many years...

Chen Qizhao had no impression of Gu Zhengxun, or the two of them had no intersection at all.

The only thing I remember is that in his previous life, when Gu Zhengsong stopped helping Lin Shizhong, he learned from the intelligence network that Gu Zhengxun was holding on to something about Gu Zhengsong at that time. One of the reasons why Gu Zhengsong didn't help the Lin family anymore.

Gu Zhengxun will come to the Chen family at this time. It is conceivable that the value of this necklace to the Gu family is far more important than Chen Qizhao expected. He just heard about Gu Shen in the afternoon, and he came to Gu Zhengxun in the evening... The timing coincidence had to Make him doubt something.

What is Gu Shen's purpose in coming to S City?What is the purpose of going to Cheng Rong's party to observe him?Is Gu Zhengxun's business trip a coincidence?

If it is said that Lin Shizhong did not rely on the jadeite necklace, but used other reasons to catch up with Gu Zhengsong, it would not be good news for Chen Qizhao.

When everything was uncertain, Chen Qizhao didn't mind giving opportunities to the enemy's enemy. Gu Zhengsong's opposite was his friend. If he could cause Gu Zhengsong some trouble with an emerald necklace, then he would be happy to help Gu Zhengxun.

Shen Yuhuai looked slightly to the side, and Chen Qizhao fell silent when he heard about the emerald necklace.He lowered his eyes, thinking of other things in his mind, Chen Qizhao's reaction was different from what he expected... He didn't ask too much about the use or origin of the necklace.

Chen Qizhao seems to be hiding some secrets that he doesn't know.

After a while, Chen Qizhao asked again: "...why does my mother hesitate?"

Shen Yuhuai narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of Zhang Yazhi's performance just now, he replied, "Maybe it's because you gave the necklace, and Aunt Zhang didn't want to give it away."

Chen Qizhao was slightly startled, and looked at Zhang Yazhi, who was talking to Shen's mother and Mrs. Gu with a smile on his face.

He retracted his gaze and looked at the jewelry box on the table.The Gu family is very powerful in the capital city. It is a good choice for the Chen family to befriend the Gu family through the Shen family. It will help the Chen family develop business around City B in the future... If it was him, an emerald necklace could be exchanged for friendship with the Gu family. He is very happy to trade interests.

It's just that he didn't expect Zhang Yazhi to hesitate on this matter.

The topic of the elders next to him has come to an end, and dinner is ready.

When Chen Qizhao saw Chen Shiming leave to answer the phone, he bumped into Shen Yuhuai's leg when he moved, his eyes stopped for a moment, and he explained in a low voice, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Shen Yuhuai nodded when he heard this.

Chen Qizhao left his seat and followed Chen Shiming out.

Shen Yuhuai looked at Chen Qizhao's leaving figure, and after a while, the phone in his pocket continued to vibrate.When he took out his phone, he saw Yan Kaiqi's name, and his eyes sank a little.

Shen Xuelan sat next to Shen Yuhuai, seeing this, said: "What's wrong? Your face is so serious?"

"No." Shen Yuhuai withdrew his expression and said, "I'll answer the phone."

Shen Xuelan looked at her younger brother, her eyebrows slightly frowned.

In the quiet corridor outside the living room.

After Chen Shiming took Xu Tezhu's call, he turned around and saw Chen Qizhao standing behind him, as if he had been waiting for a long time.He put his phone in his pocket and looked at him suspiciously: "Why are you here?"

"What about the necklace?" Chen Qizhao asked.

There was not much talk about the necklace in the conversation just now, and it was likely that it had come to an end before he returned.

Chen Shiming was slightly surprised, thinking that Chen Qizhao and Shen Yuhuai were very close when they were in the living room just now, "Did Shen Yuhuai tell you?"

Chen Qizhao nodded, "Mom doesn't want to give this necklace?"

"The Gu family noticed Mom's necklace at the party and said it was very similar to a piece of precious jewelry in their family, so they came to ask about the necklace. The necklace seems to be involved, so they went around for a while. Let's go to the Shen family for help." Chen Shiming paid attention to Chen Qizhao's expression, and continued to say: "Mom is indeed hesitating, the Shen family is just connecting and won't interfere with our decision. So Dad and I are going to use this excuse to refuse."

Chen Qizhao asked, "Why?"

Chen Shiming: "Being friendly with the Gu family is a good thing, but it may also be a bad thing."

"Because of the power struggle within the Gu family?" Chen Qizhao said.

"Chen Qizhao, you know a lot." Chen Shiming looked at his younger brother in surprise. He didn't know where Chen Qizhao got the news, but it was absolutely impossible for Chen Qizhao to learn about the internal power struggle from Shen Yuhuai. He said: "Indeed , if we make friends with the Gu family at another point in time, my dad and I are very happy. But now that there is something wrong with the Gu family, this necklace obviously has something to do with the inheritance of the Gu family. If you give this necklace out, it means a question."

"We stand aside Gu Zhengxun." Chen Qizhao followed Chen Shiming's words, "You are weighing the pros and cons."

Chen Shiming continued: "This matter cannot be hidden. You took pictures of the necklace at the time. As long as this necklace goes to City B, anyone who wants to find out can follow Gu Zhengxun's business trip to City S, and finally find it. On the Chen family. There are too many things going on in the Chen family recently, and being involved in the Gu family's affairs at this kind of time will indeed affect us. "

"It's not about weighing the pros and cons. If you really want to start from the benefit level, it is indeed a good choice to cooperate with the Gu family. If Mom lets go, it is indeed possible to transfer this necklace for the sake of the Shen family." Chen Shiming said Expressed his thoughts, "But the people who are fighting for power with Gu Zhengxun are not good people. From the perspective of safety, it is best not to get involved with the Gu family at this stage."

After he finished speaking, he noticed Chen Qizhao's silence, and was about to open his mouth to continue explaining their thoughts.

Chen Qizhao suddenly said, "Gu Zhengsong's son has come to S City."

Chen Shiming's eyes froze, "Where is Gu Zhengsong's son?"

"I met someone at Cheng Rong's party a while ago, so I asked someone to check him out. The other party is Gu Zhengsong's illegitimate son, Gu Shen, who was suspected of following me at the party." Chen Qizhao looked at Chen Shiming, and continued: "I I was followed by Lin Shizhong before, and then Gu Shen also appeared... Do you think this is too coincidental?"

Chen Shiming didn't speak, but his eyes became serious.

"Do you still remember those people who bid with me when we auctioned the jadeite necklace?" Chen Qizhao looked into Chen Shiming's eyes and continued: "You should have checked that those people were related to Lin Shizhong. Do you think that Lin Shizhong Is it that simple to drug me from embarrassment?"

"Lin Shizhong also wanted that necklace." Chen Qizhao told Chen Shiming: "I have no evidence that Gu Shen had direct contact with Lin Shizhong, but Lin Shizhong must know the meaning of this necklace. The Lin family may already have a relationship with Gu Zhengsong's faction."

"What else do you know?" Chen Shiming looked at Chen Qizhao with some complicated eyes.

Chen Qizhao didn't avoid his gaze, "I've told you everything I know, I'm just suggesting that making trouble for Gu Zhengsong is not a bad thing for us, adult beauty is a virtue."

Chen Shiming was still thinking about what Chen Qizhao said, but after a while he suddenly heard Chen Qizhao's question.

Chen Qizhao asked: "Mom really likes that necklace so much?"

"She likes it very much, and she has been wearing it when she goes out to parties recently." Chen Shiming knew that his mother liked jewelry and diamonds more, but it was the first time he saw her be so enthusiastic about a necklace.

"Oh." Chen Qizhao lowered his eyes slightly, thinking about something.

He turned around to leave, but Chen Shiming stopped him.

"Wait." Chen Shiming pinched his brows and said, "Xiao Xu called me just now, and something has been found out."

The Sun family's counterattack slowed down Lin's movements, and Chen Shiming's team also found some signs during this period.It was related to a project that Lin's bid for in the Southern District more than 30 years ago. Lin had invested in a project in the Southern District back then, but that project suffered heavy losses. Lin's financial chain was once in trouble, and several companies declared bankruptcy.This time, most of the people who were infiltrated by the Lin family in the Chen family revolved around the business of the Chen family in the southern district. part of the truth.

Chen Shiming said: "The project that the Lin family almost went bankrupt back then, someone from the Chen family participated and became an indirect beneficiary of that incident."

Chen Qizhao's pupils shrank slightly, "...the Chen family? 30 years ago?"

"It should be grandpa. At that time, various business opportunities appeared frequently, and the Lin family was once a thorn in the side of others. Therefore, the incident that caused the Lin family to go bankrupt in the southern district was a deliberate conspiracy. After the accident, Lin's assets were sold off. A small part went to the Chen family, so we guess that the previous generation also participated in that incident."

Chen Shiming continued: "Later, the Chen family separated, and the other uncles got their assets and sold them and went abroad. Only us and the third uncle remained in S City. Dad used the part of the assets he got to collect the uncle's assets, and quickly Started to make the Chen family reach its current scale... and finally achieved the Chen family's business in the Southern District."

In short, the Chen family of the previous generation may have participated in the conspiracy against the Lin family and benefited from it. Afterwards, the Chen family stepped on the Lin family to make a fortune quickly, and all those assets were inherited into the hands of Chen Jianhong, and finally became the southern district. part of the core business.

"This matter was done very carefully, and my dad and I also investigated it for a long time before we found out about it, including the fact that grandpa was behind the back of the Lin family. Not many people have found out so far, otherwise we would not have made friends with the Lin family until now. "

Chen Shiming continued: "It's just that I found a few companies that were involved in the business in the Southern District. In the past 20 years, those companies have either gone bankrupt or have been acquired. Xiao Xu checked the flow of assets and found that most of those things went to Lin's .”

There are too many things involved in this matter, and the things that Chen Shiming can find out are relatively scattered, and it is probably such a result when they piece it together.

Chen Shiming said: "If according to Lin Shizhong's current arrangement, we can't stop it in advance... it will only take four to five years, enough for Lin Shizhong to disintegrate the Chen family silently, and finally go bankrupt just like those people. "

yes……

In four or five years, when he was 23 years old, the Chen family collapsed.

When Chen Qizhao heard this from Chen Shiming's mouth, he found that his mood was actually very calm, probably because he had expected Lin Shizhong's layout, so he was not surprised that Chen Shiming said this fact at all.

On the contrary, he was in a good mood, maybe it was about the necklace, or maybe he was not afraid to see Lin Shizhong's so-called plan full of holes... Suddenly, the three monuments in the rain screen appeared in Chen Qizhao's mind. In front of him, at least this time they could see it with their own eyes, he replied: "It's not bad."

Chen Shiming was puzzled: "What?"

Chen Qizhao suddenly said, "I'll go back first."

The corridor was very quiet. After Chen Qizhao left the corner, Chen Shiming was still looking at the position in the corner. He recalled Chen Qizhao's expression just now, and he always had a strange premonition in his heart.He thought back to what Chen Qizhao said about the necklace just now. If this was the case, then maybe they should take this olive branch from the Gu family.

When he returned to the living room, Chen Qizhao didn't see Shen Yuhuai.

After sitting for a long time, Shen Yuhuai came back from outside.

At the dinner table, the three families did not mention the necklace, but Chen Qizhao knew that this matter was basically a foregone conclusion.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you help the Gu family or not. The Chen family doesn't have to rely on the Gu family to win. It's just that he doesn't like Gu Zhengsong. This person helped Lin Shizhong in his previous life. He didn't have time to settle his grudges in his previous life. If he has the opportunity to settle his revenge in this life, he can pull Gu Zhengsong down. , is a pleasant thing.

Most of what was said at the dinner table was about daily matters, the Gu family and his wife didn't hold it that much, and they would talk a few words when they talked about daily life.

Shen Yuhuai listened to the elders talking, and took the time to wash his hands to go to the bathroom, cleared up the accumulated messages in the phone's vx, and also saw the documents that Yan Kaiqi called just now.

Yan Kaiqi found out that several companies in the capital are related to several institutions in S City, and followed this line to check... unexpectedly found that these institutions and the companies in the capital are related to Lin The secret business of the company's medical cooperation.There is no publicity about these things, and something is obviously not quite right... and the capital behind those companies in the capital has not been found out yet. Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that it has something to do with the big capitals in the capital.

This is not good news for Shen Yuhuai.

The more private the things checked, the more consistent with his guess.He just talked to Yan Kaiqi about this matter, just to be on the safe side, he asked Yan Kaiqi to stop, and after further investigation, there were too many things involved, and it was easy for Yan Kaiqi to get angry.

Shen Yuhuai's attention stopped on the email. If you follow this information and switch to other breakthroughs, you should be able to find more clues. It's best to confirm which capital is behind those companies in Beijing, so that you can dig out the involvement behind the aromatherapy. How many mysteries are there.

It's just that the Lin family...

When Shen Yuhuai thought of the crisis that broke out in Lin's medical care some time ago, he became even more suspicious. There should be someone secretly targeting Lin's... Some things couldn't have happened so coincidentally.

As he thought about it, he thought of Chen Qizhao inexplicably.

Shen Yuhuai paused for a while, downloaded the email, then cut out to reply to part of the message.

When Liu Sui asked him if he would go back to the dormitory at night, he replied 'no'.

[-Liu Sui: Why didn't you come back again, and wanted you to bring me something when you came back from S University. ]

[-s: I am not in S major. ]

[-Liu Sui: Huh?Aren't you chasing girls at S University? ]

[-s: no. ]

In the dormitory, Liu Sui made a clicking sound when he saw Shen Yuhuai's news.

During this period of time, Shen Yuhuai often entered the dormitory by stepping on the door at night, and occasionally brought him supper around S University.Liu Sui thought that Shen Yuhuai said he was chasing someone some time ago, so he could probably guess the purpose of Shen Yuhuai's going out during this time, but the other party didn't say anything, so he didn't ask much.

[-Liu Sui: It’s okay for you to tell me, I didn’t tell the outside world.Are you back this week?I really want to eat the grilled fish that just opened at the gate of S. I originally wanted to call it Chen Qizhao, but I heard that the store has a discount for S college students. ]

Shen Yuhuai was about to end the conversation when he saw Liu Sui's news and stopped slightly.

[-s: Did you ask him? ]

[-Liu Sui: Chen Qizhao?I asked.I also wanted to call him to eat, but he said that I have something to call you at night.

[-Liu Sui: My vacation is precious!I finally finished my thesis, but everyone has been busy for half a month! ]

Shen Yuhuai's eyes darkened a little when he saw the words in the paper. He thought of the few words Chen Qizhao asked casually when he was sitting next to him not long ago, and typed the question with his fingers slightly.

——[He knows that your thesis is finished? ]

After eating, the others were still talking about things and moved to the living room.

Chen Qizhao listened for a while, but was not interested in what they were talking about, so he turned to the kitchen next to the restaurant.

In the evening, the table was full of red wine. Seeing that Shen Yuhuai was present, Chen Qizhao didn't drink much, so he was a little thirsty.

When he opened the refrigerator, he suddenly thought that Shen Yuhuai didn't seem to be drinking at night, and there was also orange juice on the table.He doesn't seem to know how Shen Yuhuai's drinking capacity is, and the number of times he has seen him drinking can be counted on the fingers... Is his drinking capacity very poor?It seems not.

Thinking of this, he suddenly wanted to know what it would be like for a person like Shen Yuhuai to get drunk?He was thinking aimlessly, and inexplicably, the legs sitting next to him in the living room and the light and intimate movement of tapping on his legs appeared in his mind.

Chen Qizhao felt his throat a little itchy. He was looking around the drinks in the refrigerator, and couldn't help but stop at the cold beer. Just as he was about to grab a bottle, he heard footsteps.

He paused slightly, and when he turned his head, he saw Shen Yuhuai walking into the kitchen.

"Brother Huai?" Chen Qizhao was surprised.

Shen Yuhuai's eyes stopped on him, "I heard from the housekeeper that you are here."

Noticing Shen Yuhuai's gaze, Chen Qizhao asked, "Is there something on my face?"

"Are you in a good mood?" Shen Yuhuai said suddenly.

"It's okay." Chen Qizhao withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the drinks in the refrigerator.

Looking away from the cold beer, he was about to grab the Coke underneath, when he asked casually, "Brother Huai, do you have something to drink?"

The footsteps in the distance seemed to be getting closer and closer. Just as Chen Qizhao picked up the Coke, he suddenly noticed someone standing behind him.

Shen Yuhuai stopped behind him, and when he moved forward slightly, he felt a great sense of oppression. Chen Qizhao paused for a moment with the hand holding the Coke, but Shen Yuhuai did not move forward, as if he was standing behind him looking at something in the refrigerator.

The man's breath was very close, without the smell of alcohol, but with a faint scent of mint.

Chen Qizhao lowered his eyes and glanced at the people behind him from the corner of his eye.

His eyes moved, judging the distance to Shen Yuhuai at this moment, and suddenly he felt the itching in his ears.

Shen Yuhuai lowered his head slightly, his eyes were half down, and his eyes stopped on Chen Qizhao's ears.

The warm breath wafted around Chen Qizhao's ears, as soft as a whisper, or whispering between lovers.

"Chen Qizhao, when you lie, your eyes move."

At this time, a voice came from outside the door. The servant just walked to the door of the kitchen. Seeing two people standing in the kitchen, he looked at Shen Yuhuai and said, "Mr. Shen, Miss Shen said that she is going to leave."

Chen Qizhao blinked, but the people behind him took a step back.

"Don't drink something cold at night. Wen Baikai can quench your thirst." After Shen Yuhuai finished speaking, he looked at the person at the door of the kitchen, "Tell Shen Xuelan, I'll be right there."

Chen Qizhao's eyes stopped at a certain point, he put the coke in his hand back to its original place, and when he turned around, Shen Yuhuai was looking at him.

Shen Yuhuai did not avoid that gaze, but said: "Then I'll go first, good night."

"Ah."

Chen Qizhao closed the refrigerator door and saw Shen Yuhuai walking away with the servant.

He raised his hand and touched his ear, his slightly fixed eyes seemed to hide some kind of understanding.

The night was dark, and the Gu family's car left first.

Chen Jianhong was still talking to Father Shen.

"You don't have to worry about us about the necklace." Father Shen said, "Then let's go first."

Chen Jianhong said, "I'll ask the driver to take you off."

"No, Yu Huai drove today, he didn't drink." Father Shen patted his old friend on the shoulder, opened the door and went in.

Chen Jianhong looked at Shen Yuhuai who was still standing beside him, and told him, "Drive slowly on the way back."

"I know." Shen Yuhuai nodded, and when he looked up, he saw Chen Qizhao standing behind Chen Jianhong.

The latter looked straight at this side through the others, making Shen Yuhuai's movements stop for two seconds.

At this time, Shen Xuelan's urging voice came from the side, and Shen Yuhuai's hand accidentally touched the open car door, and the key in his hand fell off and fell to the other side of the car door.

Through the car door, Shen Yuhuai just wanted to turn over to get it, but saw a figure crouching in front of the car door, picking up the dropped keys.

Shen Yuhuai looked at Chen Qizhao.

Chen Qizhao handed him the key.

When the two fingers touched, Shen Yuhuai's palm felt itchy.

Chen Qizhao's nails seemed to follow the lines of his palm, and when handing over the key, they scratched lightly on his palm.

Shen Yuhuai's eyes darkened a little, looking at the instigator.

Through the car door, Chen Qizhao let go of the key, his eyes were calm and straightforward.

"Brother Huai, good night."
