In the slightly quiet employee office area, there are many people with different expressions between each station, and they are discussing in a low voice. Gu's Group is one of the top enterprises in China, and it is even more famous in City B. Under the thriving performance is the undercurrent of the two big figures in the Gu family.
The announcement that appeared in the company in the morning has been deleted, and the top executives took action almost within ten minutes of the news appearing. But even so, as an important system within the group, once such an announcement appears, even if it is blocked in time and not spread, it is already well known within the company.
The fact that Gu Zhengsong had an illegitimate child was a secret, and only a few high-level officials in the Gu family knew about it. Now this news appeared in the announcement along with the paternity test, which instantly made Gu Zhengsong's faction nervous. Behind the Gu family is the Gu family. The Gu family is complicated. The only thing is that it is very traditional. The news just spread, and a huge wave was set off within the Gu family.
Even if Mrs. Gu has favored Gu Zhengsong recently, she can't be partial in such a situation.
"What are you going to do with that morning?"
"Keep your voice down, Gu Zhengsong is in the company..."
"There is such a thing, even a paternity test certificate."
"Who hacked into our company's system? Post something like this?"
The high-level people are tacit, and only those who do not know the truth will think that this kind of thing is an accident. How can the internal system of the group be so easy to hack into? The senior network engineer invited by the group is not a decoration. If you can put such a thing in an internal announcement, it may only be done by someone inside... Whoever tacitly pretends to be an accident is not difficult to guess, but there is no evidence. .
Several high-level officials in the conference room looked at each other and looked at Gu Zhengxun and Gu Zhengsong who were in front of them. The two brothers who looked alike were sitting peacefully at the same table at this time, and the smell of gunpowder was full of secrets. Gu Zhengsong can see Gu Zhengxun's eyesight during this period of time, but now that this news broke out, the smiling tiger's face, who always had a smiling face, also sank.
Gu Zhengsong: "Big brother seems to be in a good mood today."
"Not as good as you." Gu Zhengxun looked at the keynote speaker at the meeting, "As for the details of the acquisition, continue talking."
The speaker wiped his sweat and immediately entered the topic.
The other high-level executives didn't speak. The illegitimate child was so publicized that it almost hit Gu Zhengsong in the face.
Gu Zhengxun has been suppressed by Gu Zhengsong for so long, this is an open declaration of war with Gu Zhengsong.
After coming out of the conference room, Gu Zhengsong talked with his assistant with a sullen face, "Why did the paternity test certificate fall into his hands?"
"We can no longer contact the doctor who did the appraisal at the beginning, and it is very likely that he will be protected by him." The assistant continued: "Not only that, the people on his side seem to be paying attention to some of our arrangements, and the recent behavior is very strange. "
Gu Zhengsong was in a very bad mood. Gu Shen's identity was revealed at this time. The old antiques in the Gu family would definitely take these things against him. In addition, Gu Zhengxun got the jade jewelry. In the eyes of the old antiques, the current situation of the two of them Immediately see high and low. Gu Zhengxun went to war with him directly because he wanted to win more support. The old man's body couldn't last for a few years. Now there is the matter of Jade and the matter of the illegitimate child. After this incident, his position in front of the Gu family's group only lower.
"Press it down." Gu Zhengsong frowned: "Don't let any rumors spread before the old man asks about it."
When the internal power struggle of the Gu family was going on, a young man dressed in black and a mask stood at the door of a bar that was closed during the day.
The doorbell rang, and the fat boss who was dozing off at the front of the bar raised his head, saw the young man in black in front of him, and took out an envelope from under the counter, "I heard that you came all the way back from S City. For a few days, people worked overtime to investigate, and I had people check all the capitals you suspected. Following the clues you gave, there are indeed two suspicious capitals in the territories of those institutions. After a comprehensive investigation, it is determined that This one is also your old acquaintance."
Shen Yuhuai took the fat boss's envelope, tore the seal and began to check, "Gu's family?"
"Is there a lot of investigations?" The fat boss continued: "It's the Gu family, to be precise it should be Gu Zhengsong. He bought land in small towns and towns on the outskirts of those institutions, and the land is still undeveloped, but some people responded. There are often large vehicles coming in and out."
"However, there are many large factories nearby, and the vehicles may also be trucks from other factories."
Shen Yuhuai quickly read the contents of the data and said, "The data backup should still be sent to my backup mailbox."
"Of course." The fat boss said: "The thing you are investigating is not easy. Gu Zhengsong has many tricks, and there are many people who work for him. Now that the Gu family is confirmed, what can you do with them? Some things may not necessarily be handed out. If you can achieve the effect you want, it might even set you on fire.”
He added: "Yu Huai, as a friend, I still advise you not to check too much."
Shen Yuhuai: "Don't worry, I know it."
"What do you plan to do next? Continue to stay in City B?" the fat boss asked.
"The things that should be investigated are almost the same. Now go back and confirm the situation on Lin's medical side. If it is confirmed that the two of them secretly cooperate to develop an illegal industrial chain, then determine the plan and continue to follow up." Shen Yuhuai pulled his mask slightly, "I will tomorrow. The plane left, thank you for this."
After coming to City B for a few days, he was basically sure that Gu Zhengsong belonged to those institutions behind the scenes, but this relationship went through several circles, so Yan Kaiqi didn't find out about this relationship at that time. After he came here, he searched for After consulting several local intelligence dealers selling news, it was confirmed that the capital related to those illegal organizations was Gu Zhengsong.
Or not Gu Zhengsong, maybe someone under Gu Zhengsong's hands.
The scope of this industry chain is wider than he imagined. On the surface, it is the development of food and medical products, but in fact, where these things are sold, who is behind the scenes is a matter of great concern. If Lin's Medical is involved, then the direction of these things can basically be determined through the market of Lin's Medical, which is related to food and drug safety, and even the possibility of suspected smuggling and trafficking of illegal compounds.
Shen Yuhuai asked him to destroy some materials, and after leaving the bar, he sent a text message to Chen Shiming.
Before coming to the capital, he told Chen Shiming what had been confirmed, and told them to beware of Lin. If both parties in this illegal industrial chain were basically determined, after returning to S City, this matter must be handed over to Chen Shiming together with the existing supporting evidence. Family.
The wind within the Gu family has been suppressed, but the relationship that should have been spread has already spread, and some arrangements have gradually shifted amid the turbulent undercurrents.
This incident lasted for a few days, and Gu Shen listened to these news for a few days, and the anger he showed had subsided, but the sneering voices from the outside continued to reach his ears. The young master and the young lady, the young masters of the capital who had a good relationship with him in the past all sent schadenfreude news...
"President Gu said that he will suppress this matter." The assistant said cautiously.
He has been following the young man in front of him for five years, and he is obviously not yet thirty years old, but the forbearance ability of the person in front of him is the strongest he has ever seen. The three words illegitimate child are words they will never say. This identity is a knife hanging over Gu Shen's head.
Gu Shen looked down at the sarcastic news on his phone, his face expressionless: "Is this really arranged by Gu Zhengxun?"
"Yes." The assistant continued: "The group's system has traces of external attacks, but those attack methods should not be able to enter the firewall. It is very likely that someone operated internally and acquiesced to this behavior."
It is self-evident who is the insider.
The assistant looked at the wounds on Gu Shen's hands, and a thin layer of scab had been attached to the place where he was cut by the glass of the tea cup, but he knew that Gu Shen must be angry now.
Gu Shen sneered, and when his good father said these words, he already knew the other party's attitude.
The Gu family attaches great importance to inheritance. If the identity of an illegitimate child spreads, it means that he will never be on the stage and will be ridiculed and ridiculed by others.
Originally, Gu Zhengsong planned to slowly correct his identity after seizing power from the Gu family, but now this matter has been exposed in front of so many people. If Gu Zhengsong wants to seize power from Gu Zhengxun, it must be revealed. manner.
When necessary, Gu Zhengsong can only deny his identity.
Gu Zhengxun played this move superbly and ruthlessly.
Different from his past gentle and upright style of doing things, it seems that the jade necklace thing is growing his arrogance.
Gu Shen always felt that there was something in this that he hadn't noticed, and he asked again, "Is there any movement in the Yan family?"
Assistant: "Yan Kaiqi has been very honest recently, and he didn't move anyone to investigate. Yan Kailin was also protected by him."
"He's a smart guy who knows how to make peace."
The assistant said again: "But there is something very strange. When we checked the people around Yan Kaiqi after you reminded us last time, we found that he was very close to Shen Yuhuai of the Shen family. Shen Yuhuai was also there when Yan Kailin had an accident last time. on site."
A person who is very close to Yan Kaiqi... Why did the Yan family suddenly investigate these matters, and they followed him to his side? He never understood the motive of this departure, so he let people follow the Yan family.
If he remembers correctly, Shen Yuhuai and Chen Qizhao have a close relationship, and the Shen family and the Chen family have been friends for many years.
The situation at the Chen family's side is probably not simple.
Gu Shen lowered his eyes and put his fingers on the document, "Continue talking."
"Shen Yuhuai is from the Shen family, and the wife of the Shen family is friends with Gu Zhengxun's wife. It is said that Gu Zhengxun also went to the Shen family after he came to S City. When you said about the Chen family necklace, it is very likely that the Gu family asked the Shen family to connect. Contact the Chen family."
The assistant put the tablet in front of Gu Shen and continued, "Yesterday I focused on Shen Yuhuai and found that he left for City B the day after Yan Kailin's accident."
Gu Shen frowned: "Then what?"
The assistant said: "The excuse he gave to the institute was to go back to University B to deal with matters. When we observed, we found that he did return to University B, but he was only dealing with the thesis procedures, but he stayed in City B. It took nearly ten days for the plane to return to City S today."
"What happened to the Shen family recently?" Gu Shen asked.
Assistant: "The day after tomorrow, the Shen family will hold a birthday party for Shen Yuhuai."
Birthday party...
Gu Shen's eyes sank slightly: "Check Shen Yuhuai."
-*
The day before Shen Yuhuai's birthday, Chen Qizhao went back to Chen's house.
After he got home, he went to the kitchen to see the tea and coffee that had been in the cupboard, and then asked the housekeeper how Chen Jianhong and Zhang Yazhi were taking medicine recently. After getting a positive reply, he felt relieved and left the kitchen.
The housekeeper carefully watched people walk away, and instructed the servant beside him: "Next time the second young master comes to the kitchen, remember not to let him open the second cabinet."
The servant was puzzled: "Brother Zhang, is there anything in it?"
"It's nothing." The housekeeper was expressionless, "Tea and coffee."
It was still the private collection of the husband and the young master. He was afraid that the second young master would be in a bad mood, so he threw it in the trash can.
Zhang Yazhi and Chen Qizhao were sitting in the living room, and the voice of the TV series was raised, which did not affect the dialogue between the mother and son at all.
Zhang Yazhi said: "This actor's acting skills are not good, and his eyes are not moving."
"It may be a vase." Chen Qizhao commented: "His role will be over in a while."
Zhang Yazhi commented on the plot and characters in the TV series, and Chen Qizhao responded from time to time.
After a while, Zhang Yazhi said, "Is Xiao Zhao in a good mood recently?"
"Why do you think so?" Chen Qizhao paused for a moment and turned his head to look at Zhang Yazhi.
Zhang Yazhi looked at the child sitting beside her, she seemed to feel that the burden on the child was loosened, unlike the past when she returned home and always held her mobile phone to play, and she didn't get distracted when talking to her, "be happy, don't frown. of."
Chen Qizhao didn't speak, watching the content of the TV series, thinking about whether to cast some TV series to make Zhang Yazhi have some fun. During this time, Zhang Yazhi loved watching TV series. As long as he was at home, he would always pull him to watch TV series together. After coming down several times, he was already familiar with some of the faces that were often shown in TV series.
He was thinking, but Zhang Yazhi told him the starting point gossip on his own.
"Do you remember the Gu family who came to us last time?" Zhang Yazhi changed the channel and continued: "Didn't your dad want to talk business with the Gu family recently? I heard from your dad last night that the second child of the Gu family has an illegitimate child. I heard that there has been quite a lot of trouble recently."
Chen Qizhao snorted, not very interested: "How old is it?"
"The relationship is strained, your Uncle Gu also went back. Originally, their family planned to go to Yu Huai's birthday party, but now there is probably no way to do it." Zhang Yazhi said this and continued: "Have you prepared a gift for Yu Huai? Don't forget he helped our family a lot when you were sick."
"get ready."
When Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming went home, they saw the mother and son sitting in the living room watching TV.
It was a little late. After dinner, Chen Qizhao and Zhang Yazhi were still staying in the living room. When it was more than ten o'clock, Chen Shiming, who came out of Chen Jianhong's study, called to stop Chen Qizhao.
The two went to Chen Shiming's study. Gu Zhengxun and Gu Zhengsong got into a quarrel too fiercely. He couldn't help thinking of what Chen Qizhao said when he was in the office, plus the news he received from Shen Yuhuai during this period, and Chen Qizhao's previous speculation, he basically had It was confirmed that the Lin family was involved with Gu Zhengsong.
Chen Shiming asked Chen Qizhao if he knew about this.
"How can I take care of the Gu family's affairs?" Chen Qizhao sat on the sofa in the study, flipping through the documents on the desktop, and said in his usual tone: "What's wrong? Gu Zhengsong is in a hurry?"
He added: "But it is also, Gu Shen is the most important child to him. Gu Zhengxun is so forced, and with the situation of the Gu family, if he wants to compete with Gu Zhengxun, he can only ignore the relationship with Gu Shen."
Chen Shiming frowned: "It really has nothing to do with you?"
"It doesn't matter, how can it matter? You think too much of my ability. It's not Gu Zhengxun's idea what to do?"
Chen Qizhao looked at Chen Shiming, and he suggested in the email to Gu Zhengxun euphemistically, whether Gu Zhengxun does it or not is not the other party's choice.
He just added the fire and did nothing.
Right now, the fire at Gu's house is burning. As long as the fire is burning strong enough, Gu Zhengsong will not be able to spare time to help Lin Shizhong.
Chen Shiming hesitated a little, but still believed Chen Qizhao, and then said: "You told me before that Gu Zhengsong may have something to do with Lin Shizhong, and Shen Yuhuai brought me a message when he went to City B."
When it came to Shen Yuhuai, Chen Qizhao paused for a while. Shen Yuhuai told him that going back to the school in City B had something to deal with. When chatting occasionally, Shen Yuhuai said that he was dealing with private affairs.
Chen Shiming didn't notice Chen Qizhao's expression, and repeated what Shen Yuhuai had said to Chen Qizhao before.
Chen Qizhao stopped to say this.
But after a while, Chen Shiming said again: "But he seems to have found several institutions in the suburbs of Beijing, saying that Gu Zhengsong may be engaged in illegal drug or food trafficking with Lin's Medical, but he has no evidence for these."
Chen Qizhao's expression changed slightly, "When did it happen!?"
Shen Yuhuai didn't tell him this.
"Just a few days after he went to the capital, he said that he asked local friends. Others are very cautious, and they will not say anything if they are not sure. This time, he should have been investigating for a while."
Chen Shiming went on to say: "If you follow his investigation, you will basically confirm your original statement. He said that he could give me some evidence of the business relationship between Lin's Medical and the Gu family in a few days. If this is the case, we will turn over Lin Shizhong. More evidence."
Chen Qizhao didn't listen to the second half of Chen Shiming's words. His focus was on non-drug or food sales. He had previously confirmed the potential transaction between Lin Shizhong and Gu Zhengsong from Shen Yuhuai's words, but it was only a few days ago that Shen Yuhuai have found this...
It means that Shen Yuhuai didn't tell him everything, but continued to investigate a lot behind his back.
"When did he tell you?" Chen Qizhao asked.
Chen Shiming replied: "Just yesterday, but he said that there is no evidence yet. When the evidence is confirmed, he will tell me that he has his own channels, and what we have found are things that we have not found before."
More than what was not found, the evidence was confirmed, what Shen Yuhuai was holding was a piece of evidence that could hammer Gu Zhengsong and Lin Shizhong at the same time.
Chen Qizhao's brain was running fast, and according to the news from Chen Shiming and Shen Yuhuai, it gradually converged into a complete line.
There is an illegal transaction between Gu Zhengsong and Lin Shizhong. This is a potential business transaction involving illegal drugs and food. It is very likely that Lin Shizhong and Fang Jie's illegal drug smuggling activities are related to this.
In a sense, Lin Shizhong and Gu Zhengsong are allies, so in his last life, Gu Zhengsong protected Lin Shizhong not only because of the jade necklace, but also because of the line in Lin Shizhong's hands, and Gu Shen may be the person who handed over to Lin Shizhong.
If they can be connected like this, things that were not understood in the previous life have actually been connected.
Chen Qizhao said, "Doesn't he know the danger?"
Chen Shiming: "Lin Shizhong and Gu Zhengsong didn't seem to notice him, so his investigation went well. I'm not sure how wide his connections are, but the things he found out were indeed things we didn't find."
"I'll go back to my room." Chen Qizhao said suddenly.
Before Chen Shiming could stop him, he had already left the office. He glanced at a document next to him. They found some evidence of illegal transactions from the arrangement that Lin Shizhong left in Chen's house. According to Shen Yuhuai's idea , If you check down this line, you might be able to find the Gu family's side...
If this is the case, then I have to contact Gu Zhengxun.
At this time, Chen Shiming's cell phone rang.
"Boss, we asked us to trace the source of the health care products and drugs that we collected before, and found that Jiang Yuze started working on Mr. Chen's health care products as early as two years ago."
Xu Tezhu: "These drugs are not harmful, they all have the effects of sedation, stability and sleep aid. Long-term use will reduce people's attention. The reason for Mr. Chen's drowsiness some time ago is probably not just because of blood pressure. It is also possible that they have taken these drugs."
Chen Shiming's eyes sank a little, not quite right.
The room was dark, and when Chen Qizhao closed the door, he couldn't control the trembling of his palms.
Chen Qizhao stood in the dark, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and opened the chat interface with Shen Yuhuai, the chat between the two still stopped in the morning.
His eyes sank slightly, his hand stopped on the chat interface but he didn't know what to say.
Shen Yuhuai won't say anything without evidence. He told him about the controlled objects, the extraction of equipment, and the hidden business that he learned from Chen Shiming... All the news will be informed to them after Shen Yuhuai has confirmed it.
He understands Shen Yuhuai's personality and his considerations.
Because of this, his mood was complicated. These materials must have taken Shen Yuhuai a long time to find out, but when he came to him, when Shen Yuhuai said it, it was revealed lightly.
Just like when I went to City B this time, I also checked other things, but when I went to his side, it became a sentence of going back to school to deal with things.
Does he not know the danger
Cha Lin Shizhong, Cha Gu Zhengsong, none of them are good, how dare Shen Yuhuai.
The Shen family, Shen Yuhuai came out of the study.
When he returned to the room, his cell phone rang suddenly.
Seeing the contact pop-up on the voice chat interface, Shen Yuhuai's eyes softened, and he pressed the connect button, "Why did you call at this point, don't you rest?"
After eleven o'clock, the night outside seemed to be extraordinarily dark.
Chen Qizhao's room was also very dark. He was sitting on the bed, and a lot of cigarette butts had accumulated in the ashtray next to him.
He had a lot of things to ask, but when he got on the phone and heard Shen Yuhuai's voice, he instantly calmed down, his throat seemed to be stuck with something, and he couldn't say a word.
"I'm about to rest, I just want to hear your voice."
Chen Qizhao's voice was a little hoarse, and Shen Yuhuai heard it immediately.
Shen Yuhuai asked, "Have you caught a cold?"
Chen Qizhao: "No."
The room was quiet, and Shen Yuhuai's voice came from the receiver. As usual, when the two of them went out, Shen Yuhuai could always find a topic to continue chatting with him.
Chen Qizhao listened to Shen Yuhuai's voice, he suddenly found that he liked Shen Yuhuai more than he thought, just like at this moment, he really wanted to see Shen Yuhuai.
Time passed minute by minute, until a certain hour.
Chen Qizhao suddenly said, "Brother Huai, happy birthday."
Shen Yuhuai stopped there, with a smile in his voice, "Thank you, do you want to say happy birthday to me after so long?"
Chen Qizhao lowered his eyes slightly, "Well, and... Thank you."
He took another sentence: "Brother Huai, rest early, it's 12 o'clock."
Shen Yuhuai was silent for a while, and then said, "Well, see you tonight?"
Chen Qizhao said, "See you tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Qizhao stared at Shen Yuhuai's name for a while.
He hadn't said this for many years. Since Shen Yuhuai passed away in his previous life, this is the first time in many years to say a happy birthday to Shen Yuhuai.
A word is like a lifetime, everything is not easy to come by.
