Cheng Yu's cell phone rang. He took a look and saw that it was Ning Kezhu who was replying to him on WeChat.
Ning Kezhu: How did you know that Cheng Fu had left the company?
Cheng Yu replied: I made an appointment with my friend for dinner and saw him in another private room.
Ning Kezhu’s WeChat message quickly responded: Oh, it’s a big weekend, maybe I have an appointment with a friend.
Cheng Yu: It doesn’t look like I’m dating a friend.
After Ning Kezhu received this WeChat message, he thought for a moment and simply made a call.
Cheng Yu saw Ning Kezhu's call ringing on his cell phone, hesitated for a moment, and chose to answer it in the private room.
He didn't want Cheng Fu to know that he had been here, and he didn't want Cheng Fu to know that he had found him here. At least in Cheng Yu's view, Cheng Fu was still very suspicious.
If he walked outside the private room to answer the phone, there was a possibility that Cheng Fu would discover him.
Moreover, there are only two people in this private room, Guan Lu and Gao Yiming. They are both Cheng Yu's trusted friends, so there is no need to avoid them.
"Mom." Cheng Yu called after answering the phone.
"Yu'er, why did you judge that Cheng Fu didn't date a friend? Have you always suspected him?"
Cheng Yu said: "Before the truth comes out, anyone who can benefit from Lao Cheng's accident will be my suspect. Mom, don't worry, I'm not targeting Mr. Cheng, I just think
His behavior today was a little weird."
"Oh? What should I say?"
"It was half past six when I saw him.
I asked the waiter here and found that Mr. Cheng had been here for more than half an hour, which means that he arrived around six o'clock, or even before six o'clock.
The group's off-duty time is 5:30, so it will take at least forty minutes to drive from the group to here due to the congestion on weekends.
This shows that Mr. Cheng had already set off before off-duty time.
Moreover, he was sitting alone in a private room. If he had an appointment with friends for dinner, or even if it was a business relationship, there was no need for him to arrive early.
He is obviously the one who arranged this dinner, and the person who will come soon will have a higher status than him, or he may have something to ask for."
Indeed, Cheng Yu's analysis was correct. With Ning Kezhu's wisdom, he would not think that Cheng Fu's behavior was normal after hearing so many qualifications.
"So I sent you a message and wanted to know if the group had any banquet, and you gave the task of hosting this banquet to Master Cheng."
"Even if the group has a banquet, how can I ask Mr. Cheng to receive it? At least there must be a vice chairman present. Mr. Cheng's position is enough, but other conditions are still a bit unsatisfactory. I can't let the person being invited to the banquet.
I feel that our Cheng Group is looking down on him."
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "That means today should be Master Cheng's private matter, and he actually got off work early for personal matters, and seemed to attach great importance to this dinner. It seems that the person who was invited to the banquet is really extraordinary.
"
Ning Kezhu thought for a moment and said: "Yu'er, what you said does make sense, but we can't doubt someone just because of a dinner party.
Mr. Cheng is young, has little experience and lacks qualifications.
As a junior, he places his position lower in the business world. Even if someone invites him to a banquet, he should arrive early to show respect.
Are you prejudiced against him?
I know that you are in trouble because of your father's affairs, but Yu'er, the more times this happens, the only ones who can firmly support us are our relatives at home.
No matter how many conflicts we had with your two uncles in the past, they were internal conflicts after all. At this time, I still believe they know how to deal with the outside world unanimously."
Cheng Yu was stunned after hearing this.
No matter what answer Ning Kezhu gave, he could understand it, but this answer was something he never expected.
After the incident, he saw Ning Kezhu's attitude towards Cheng Guangle and Cheng Guangtian's family. Although what she just said was correct, internal conflicts could not compete with the importance of unity to the outside world. However, Ning Kezhu had also doubted what happened to Cheng Guangnian.
It's those two families.
Now her attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn, which made Cheng Yu feel confused.
"Of course, Yu'er, I also understand your feelings. Your father's car accident may indeed be related to your two uncles' families.
But after all, Master Cheng just made a dinner date with someone, which really doesn't mean anything.
The company's attendance system does not apply to senior executives, who are burdened with a lot of work outside of working hours. It is normal to arrive late and leave early."
Cheng Yu frowned slightly. Although Ning Kezhu's behavior was very normal, Cheng Yu always felt that this was different from the mother he knew.
But at this time, Cheng Yu didn't intend to get to the bottom of it. He smiled and said, "Maybe it's because of Lao Cheng's matter that makes me a little nervous. Mom, don't worry. Have you had dinner? I know there are many people in the company
You have to read the document, but you also have to take care of yourself and don’t forget to eat."
Ning Kezhu smiled, with a smile of relief in his words: "I just wanted to eat something, so I put down the files and picked up the phone, and then I saw your WeChat. Okay, I'm going to eat. You
I made an appointment with my friends to have dinner and it was delicious. Let’s put your father’s affairs aside for the time being.”
"good."
Cheng Yu agreed, but Ning Kezhu had already hung up the phone.
Placing the phone on the table, Cheng Yu frowned in thought.
Gao Yiming and Guan Lu looked at each other. Of course they knew who the other party on the phone was, but why did Cheng Yu look worried after answering such a call?
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Is your cousin here too?"
The two took turns asking questions.
Cheng Yu raised his head and said, "Oh, when I first entered the door, a waiter happened to come out of another private room, and I saw Master Cheng."
"You suspect that Master Cheng is with you..." Guan Lu only said half of what he said, but everyone could hear the second half.
Cheng Yu nodded, but then shook his head and said, "It's not a case of suspicion. It's just that anyone who had access to Lao Cheng's car during that time was suspected.
I mainly feel that something is wrong with Cheng Fu appearing here in this posture.
Don't ask me what's wrong, it's just an intuition.
Maybe it’s like my mother said, I’m a little nervous.”
The two people looked at each other in confusion again, leaving Cheng Yu alone to tell the pros and cons. They could only smile and said: "Okay, don't think about it now, let's have a good meal."
Cheng Yu nodded, picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Okay, never mind. Come, let's drink."
Having said that, Cheng Yu obviously had something on his mind, and the atmosphere in the private room was definitely worse than before.
Several times, Gao Yiming and Guan Lu were chatting and laughing, but Cheng Yu seemed to be aloof from the incident, as if he was staying in a transparent soundproof cover, turning a deaf ear to the movements of the outside world.
Both Gao Yiming and Guan Lu saw this, and they looked at each other. Gao Yiming stood up and said he wanted to go to the bathroom.
The bathroom was actually in the private room, but when Gao Yiming walked out of the private room, Cheng Yu didn't notice anything unusual at all.
After Gao Yiming went out, he called Xiao Nie. That guy lived nearby.
When he learned that Gao Yiming needed a pinhole camera, Xiao Nie dropped the lunch box in his hand without saying a word, rummaged through the boxes and quickly delivered it over on a small electric donkey.
In the private room, Cheng Yu seemed to have just realized that Gao Yiming had been out for a while, and couldn't help but frowning and asked: "Where is Lao Gao?"
Guan Lu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe I have something to do when I go out. How about I go take a look."
"Forget it, I guess I didn't know which girl I hooked up with, and I got entangled. This old Gao is the same. If you want to fall in love, let's have a good relationship. You can just play around with your youth and wealth."
Guanlu rolled his eyes and said, "I seem to be the only person on this table who is qualified to say this, okay? You are a super wealthy person, so saying that you are old, young, young and rich doesn't seem to hold much weight."
"The key point of this sentence is the word "playing". Cheng Yu picked up the wine glass, Guan Lu also quickly picked it up with a smile, and the two drank a drink.
Downstairs, if Gao Yiming hadn't asked the manager to watch at the door, Xiao Nie wouldn't even be qualified to come in.
Throwing the little electric donkey at the back door, Xiao Nie followed the manager into the Bayan Pavilion.
According to Gao Yiming's instructions, the manager gave Xiao Nie a waiter's uniform, and he put it on without saying a word.
The manager took a dish and gave it to Xiao Nie. After giving a few instructions, Xiao Nie nodded and went straight to the second floor.
At the top of the corridor on the second floor, Gao Yiming nodded slightly to Xiao Nie. Xiao Nie gave him a vague ok gesture, then took the dish on the tray and gently knocked on the door of Cheng Fu's private room.
.
Cheng Fu's voice came from the private room, obviously dissatisfied: "Didn't you tell us not to disturb us?"
Xiao Nie smiled slightly, keeping the smile on his face, and pushed open the door of the private room.
"You..." Cheng Fu stood up and pointed at Xiao Nie
Xiao Nie said with a smile: "Hello, sir, this is a new dish in our restaurant. I would like to invite you to try it."
As he spoke, he had already taken in everything in the private room from the corner of his eye, and had already found a suitable place to place the pinhole camera.
Master Cheng was obviously very dissatisfied, but he still pointed at the table in disgust and said, "Why is your restaurant so troublesome? Okay, okay, just put the dishes here."
Xiao Nie hurriedly bent over and put down the dishes on the tray.
But after putting it down, he did not leave. Instead, he walked towards Mr. Cheng, picked up a comment card from the tray, walked to Mr. Cheng, with a smile on his face, and said: "Hello, sir, would you like to taste the new food in our restaurant?"
Please introduce the dishes, and then can you fill in the taste feedback card for us..."
Cheng Fu changed his face when he heard this. He waved his hand and knocked the opinion card out of Xiao Nie's hand. When Xiao Nie consciously controlled his release of his fingers, the card flew to the location that Xiao Nie needed.
"Sir, you..."
"I said, I hate being disturbed. We are talking now, get out of here!"
Xiao Nie pretended to be panicked and kept saying sorry, but his body walked in the direction where the comment card flew out.
When picking up the card, Xiao Nie held onto the wall and quickly pinched the pinhole camera he had been holding in his palm between his two fingers.
After standing up while supporting the wall, Xiao Nie pressed the camera between his fingers to the bottom of a picture frame on the wall. The camera was stuck to the bottom of the picture frame. The wide-angle lens was enough to capture almost all the scenes in the private room except this wall.
"Sorry sir, I'm going out right now."
Xiao Nie stumbled towards the door. Cheng Fu seemed very dissatisfied and urged: "Hurry up!"
At this time, another person in the private room said: "That's almost enough. What are you doing? I'm just a waiter. If you have a big temper, you'll take it out on their boss later..."
Xiao Nie heard this and thought silently that this was the accent from the Northeast. Then he quickly walked to the private room door and walked out.
After closing the door, Xiao Nie shook his head, looked towards the end of the corridor, made an OK gesture again to Gao Yiming who had been waiting, and quickly went downstairs to leave.
After going down and taking off his uniform, Xiao Nie went out through the back door and got on his electric donkey. He left Bayan Pavilion, but did not go far. He just stopped at the door of a nearby cafe.
After ordering a cup of coffee, Xiao Nie took out his laptop, lightly ran his fingers across the computer keyboard, and quickly connected the camera.
After debugging and making sure that he could receive a clear picture, Xiao Nie sent an IP address to Gao Yiming's mobile phone.
In the private room of Bayan Pavilion, after Gao Yiming came back, Cheng Yu asked him: "Why did you go there for so long?"
Gao Yiming smiled and said: "There is something, you will know it soon."
After drinking two glasses of wine, Gao Yiming's cell phone rang as promised. He opened the address and there was another sentence.
Xiao Nie: That person has a Northeastern accent.
Gao Yiming frowned, realized something immediately, and quickly replied to the message: Does your camera have no sound function?
Xiao Nie also responded quickly to the message: Your time is too urgent. I don’t have a camera with radio function at home. Moreover, that thing needs to be arranged in advance. It is too big. Even if I have it on hand, I will be put in trouble.
Discover.
Gao Yiming shook his head, and the originally proud expression on his face became sarcastic.
"What's wrong? Your face changed after you answered the WeChat message. Did you just go out to appease a certain girl who was deceived by you?"
Cheng Yu teased with a smile while shaking the red wine in his hand.
Gao Yiming shook his head and said with a confused expression: "Master, where are you following me? Where did this girl come from? Who did you deceive me?"
Guan Lu smiled and told Cheng Yu's suspicion that he would not come back after leaving for a long time. Gao Yiming raised his hands and said: "My dear conscience, I am here to help you with your work, but you are so lucky to misunderstand me like this.
"
"What are you doing for me?"
Gao Yiming smiled and said, "Take a look." After that, he handed over the mobile phone with the IP address already entered.
Cheng Yu took it blankly and took a look. It was already under video surveillance. He saw Cheng Fu at a glance.
In fact, Cheng Fu basically had his back to the camera, but he was his cousin after all, and Cheng Yu recognized his back at a glance.
The person opposite had a very unfamiliar face. He looked to be in his thirties or almost forty, with a long and narrow face and a little beard under his chin.
However, as a man on the verge of middle age, he has maintained a good figure. Even when sitting, you can see that he is thin and has no belly.
"What's going on?" Cheng Yu asked while looking at the video on his mobile phone.
Gao Yiming smiled and said: "I see that after you answered the phone and mentioned the matter about Master Cheng, you felt a little distracted. I guess if you didn't find out who Master Cheng was having dinner with tonight, you would definitely not be able to let go.
So I went out and called Xiao Nie and asked him to come over.
Later, I explained it to the manager, and he did know Mr. Cheng's name, but he didn't dare to think about it in the direction of your home.
As soon as I told him, he understood that something had just happened to Mr. Cheng, and it was normal for you to want to check whether the outside of your home was clean.
So he arranged for Xiao Nie to enter Master Cheng's private room, and Xiao Nie took the opportunity to turn on the camera."
After hearing this, Cheng Yu immediately frowned and said, "The manager won't tell anyone about it afterwards, right?"
"Don't worry about this. If it's my matter, he can tell it if it's not safe. But it's your matter, he can sit in this position, and he must be sensible."
Cheng Yu nodded, thinking that he would have to give him a few words of advice later, or maybe give him a silence spell?
Although it seems like a waste of points, it is safer this way.
Nodding secretly, Cheng Yu looked down at the video.
Because there was no sound in the video, Cheng Yu pressed the volume up button on Gao Yiming's phone, but the screen showed that the volume had been increased to the maximum, but there was still no sound at all.
"No sound?"
Looking at the man's lips on the screen, Cheng Yu couldn't hear any sound and couldn't help but ask questions.
Gao Yiming coughed twice in embarrassment and said, "Didn't you just say that my face changed? I originally thought there would be sound, but Xiao Nie told me that this camera does not have a radio function."
Guanlu rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "I thought you were so awesome. You can't say shit without making a sound, and you can't hear their conversation. Is it useless to just look at someone?"
Gao Yiming explained patiently: "Xiao Nie said that if you have a radio module, you need multiple microphones, and the volume will be much larger. Of course, if you arrange it in advance, it can be hidden well, but isn't there no such opportunity? You can't put the process in the way.
Fu and that person, please clear the place and let us go in to install cameras? So we can only make do with it."
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's good to be able to see who Master Cheng is meeting."
Since the thin-faced man was almost facing the camera, Cheng Yu tried to save a photo of that person's face.
Then, he sent the photo to Lao Bian's WeChat and said: Bureau Bian, please help me check this person's identity.
Since there was no sound, Cheng Yu looked at it for a while and then returned the phone to Gao Yiming, and the three of them continued eating and drinking.
Gao Yiming did not turn off the screen. He was observing while eating. When he saw Cheng Fu getting up and sending the thin-faced man away, he said, "That man has left. Do you want Xiao Nie to follow him?"
Cheng Yu thought of some possibilities and was worried that this man had something to do with the dark web. He quickly waved his hand and said, "It's better to be safe. You and I don't know who this man is. What if there is danger?"
"Oh, by the way, Xiao Nie just told me that that person has a Northeastern accent. But the accent is not too strong. I guess he is probably from Heilongjiang or Inner Mongolia."
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Let's call Xiao Nie here for the second game later, as a way of thanking him."
"Okay, when Master Cheng leaves, I will call him over."
Not long after, Cheng Fu got up and walked around the door of the private room. Soon the manager walked in personally, probably preparing to pay. Then, Cheng Fu followed the manager and left the private room.
After a while, the manager knocked on the door of Cheng Yu's private room. After entering, he said to Cheng Yu respectfully: "Mr. Cheng, your cousin has already paid and left."
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Are you sure you're leaving?"
"The car I personally put him in was our driver here, so he must have left."
Cheng Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, thank you very much. Come with me. I have two things to tell you. Let's go to Cheng Fu's private room and take the camera away by the way."
The manager hurriedly followed Cheng Yu out of the private room and took him into Cheng Fu's private room. In the process, Cheng Yu had already redeemed a mind-reading skill in the system mall.
After entering the private room, Cheng Yu immediately used the gag technique on the manager...
