Seeing that Shen Yao didn't move, Zhao Ming calmly pushed the file bag in front of her again, "Assistant Shen, why don't you open it and take a look."

"Mr. Zhao is very well prepared. I don't think this will be an easy task." Shen Yao's fingertips tapped casually on the not very thick file bag, with a hint of sarcasm in the corner of her eyes.

"Assistant Shen is being too modest. What could be difficult in front of Assistant Shen?" Zhao Ming smiled politely.

Shen Yao just looked at him calmly without saying anything.

It was not until Zhou Cheng noticed that the atmosphere was a little subtle and took the initiative to speak to ease the situation that Shen Yao finally slowly opened the file bag in front of her.

There really wasn't much in the file bag, just a few thin A4 papers. But when she saw clearly what was on those A4 papers, she realized how heavy these thin papers were carrying.

There was no need for Zhao Ming to take the initiative to tell her what specific help he needed her to do, she could already guess about 70% of it.

It turns out that this was the reason they were looking for her today.

Ah......

The moment she put down the things in her hands, Zhao Ming spoke without wasting any time: "The person tested on this contraband test report is Xu Sheng. I don't know if Assistant Shen knows that he is Xu Zhi's younger brother. About two years ago, he got into trouble while selling money. Originally, it was not a big deal. As early as the incident, Lao Zhou and I had someone deal with it. We thought it would not cause any more trouble. Who would have thought..."

Shen Yao glanced at the test time on the test report. It was about three years ago, which was about half a year after the accident of Xu Sheng. In addition, it had been so long since the incident and Xu Sheng himself was no longer with us.

In other words, this test report that suddenly appeared is likely to be problematic.

She frowned, interrupted Zhao Ming's evasion, and said bluntly: "Did Mr. Zhao hire someone to forge this test report?"

Zhao Ming was stunned, and a complex light quickly flashed across his eyes. While thinking, he couldn't help but become more wary of Shen Yao.

"Mr. Zhao?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Yao continued to ask.

After all, she had asked the system to record the entire process, so she would not let go easily of some words that she had to get out of these two old foxes.

Zhao Ming first exchanged glances with Zhou Cheng, and only nodded after receiving the other party's reassuring signal and knowing that there was a special recording jammer in this private room and he didn't have to worry about being recorded.

What he and Zhou Cheng didn't know was that no matter what kind of jammer it was, it would be useless to the system.

Shen Yao raised her eyebrows slightly.

nod?

There's no way to nod in a recording.

It has to be said that Zhao Ming's vigilance was indeed more serious than she had imagined.

Sure enough, he was unwilling to discuss the authenticity of the test report and went straight to the point: "Assistant Shen, this is what I want you to do. It's really not difficult for you. After all, you are Lao Zhou's right-hand man. No matter what, I will not take Lao Zhou's face into consideration and embarrass you with something difficult."

After he finished speaking, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before continuing, "You just need to find a chance to put this test report in the room where Xu Sheng lived when he was alive after you go back. It's best to put it in a place that's not so easy to find, or just lock it up. That way, it's done. How about it? Isn't this a piece of cake for you?"

He narrowed his eyes, "Moreover, as far as I know, the house you are living in now is where Xu Sheng lived for a long time before his death. So this matter is not just a matter of a few steps away?"

Sure enough, what they wanted her to do was pretty much the same as she had guessed.

After Zhou Cheng took a bite of the food, he explained, "Come to think of it, if I hadn't suddenly found out that Xu Zhi was suspicious, I wouldn't have known that he was here for Xu Sheng's incident. At first, I asked you, Assistant Shen, to deal with Xu Zhi, but I didn't know there was such a connection. Now, we bumped into each other by accident. So, Assistant Shen, why don't you help me out? After all, we are all in the same boat. Besides, Lao Zhao and I will definitely not treat you unfairly after the matter is done."

Seeing that she seemed to be thinking deeply, Zhao Ming said something else to ease the atmosphere: "Yes, Assistant Shen, you don't have to feel any psychological pressure. To put it bluntly, this test report is just an extra trick that Lao Zhou and I kept. If the incident back then is really brought up for re-investigation, this test report is just a shot in the arm for the autopsy report that we tampered with that year, making the final result of that year more convincing."

Zhou Cheng: "That's right. We have already prepared for more things. The task I'm giving you, Assistant Shen, is actually very simple."

"Then I wonder if Assistant Shen is willing to help?" Zhao Ming still had a smiling face and said lightly that he needed Shen Yao's help, as if the favor he wanted was really a very simple one and Shen Yao could complete it without any effort just by moving her fingers.

In order to settle that matter back then, they forged quite a bit of materials. The reason they gave Shen Yao this test report was, firstly, to keep some room for investigation in case there were any mistakes or omissions. Second, to drag Shen Yao into the water as well.

In Zhou Cheng's opinion, Shen Yao would come back to work for him in a while, and he had already made promises, both explicitly and implicitly, that once she successfully completed her mission and returned, she would be given greater rights to participate and execute, and she would also be involved in some of the more core matters.

In that case, as a community of shared interests, such a small matter really doesn't matter.

Zhao Ming's thoughts were the same as his, but also different. Zhao Ming was indeed taking responsibility for this matter. The main reason was that Zhao Ming was the mastermind behind the murder of Xu Sheng, and he had to protect him. In addition, there were interests involved behind the scenes, and Zhao Ming had to bear a greater cost and suffer more losses. Therefore, the person who least wanted this buried matter to be dug up must be Zhao Ming.

Shen Yao keenly captured some key words in their conversations, and at the same time quickly thought in her mind how to get more words out of their mouths.

After a moment, she said with an unclear expression, "I can help you with this, but there is a question I don't quite understand and would like to ask Mr. Zhao. Since this test report is forged, how can it escape the eyes of the investigators if it is really re-investigated?"

Test reports like this are usually issued by official authorities. If they are forged, they will be full of loopholes. Moreover, they will be recorded and the data will be stored in the database. If they don't match when checked, how can they pass?

"Assistant Shen, are you worried that something might happen and that you would be implicated?" Zhao Ming smiled. "You don't have to worry about that. Since you are willing to help, it means that you are indeed one of us. Then I won't hide anything. Although this test report is forged, but..."

He paused for a moment and smiled slyly. "It's both true and false."

"And even if it's found out to be fake, as long as it wasn't forged by you or me, it doesn't matter who forged it. It has nothing to do with us."

Zhao Ming was probably in a good mood because Shen Yao agreed to help him, so he let down his guard. Plus, he was drunk and a little drunk, so he was not so cautious when speaking and just said whatever he thought.

Shen Yao was naturally satisfied with this result, because the more he talked, the more he revealed, and the more the system recorded.

So much so that later on, in order to encourage Zhao Ming and Zhou Cheng to speak more, she would drink from their glasses whenever they raised them to her.

Although she didn't show anything unusual on her face, she couldn't help but complain in her heart: I'm going to kill you if I don't drink.

No, for these two rotten fish and shrimp, it would be a bargain for them if they died of drinking.

......

While Shen Yao was fighting wits and courage in the private room, Xu Zhi went out temporarily to meet a friend.

Coincidentally, the place where he met his friends was also Quanlin Villa.

He met his friend Zhu Xu at the parking lot. Zhu Xu was surprised that they arrived at the same time. He said with a smile: "Brother Zhi, do you think we have a tacit understanding? How do you say that? Um... we have a tacit understanding, right?"

Xu Zhi: ...

He said speechlessly: "Be normal."

Zhu Xu: "Hey, I'm just kidding."

The two continued walking one after the other, and suddenly——

Zhu Xu stopped in front of a very familiar car, and subconsciously nudged Xu Zhi with his elbow, saying, "Brother Zhi, this car...why does it look so familiar to me? No, look at the license plate number, isn't this your car? I was saying, how could I be wrong? This car was bought by you and I, but the car you just drove over was not this one."

Xu Zhi was stunned and his eyes paused on the license plate number.

This car is the one that Shen Yao drove out today.

So, the place where she is working part-time today is Quanlin Villa?

"Brother Zhi?" Zhu Xu called out to Xu Zhi and asked curiously, "Did you lend your car to someone else?"

"Yeah." Xu Zhi responded.

"Who did you lend it to? Do I know that person?" Zhu Xu was actually a little curious.

"You don't know him." Xu Zhi glanced at him indifferently.

Zhu Xu: "Oh, okay, but we can get to know each other. After all, we are brothers. It is fate that we meet. Why don't you contact him and have dinner together? One more person means more fun, don't you think?"

Xu Zhi: ...

Zhu Xu continued, "It would be good if someone came to talk to me. You talk too little. Every time we get together, I'm the one who keeps talking, and you just make a few noises, as if I'm talking to the air by myself. Tsk, my mouth is so lonely."

Xu Zhi again:......

Along the way, Zhu Xu brought up this matter several times, and after Xu Zhi remained unmoved, he finally gave up.

However, it was precisely because of this that his curiosity was aroused even more. He always felt that the person who allowed Xu Zhi to borrow a car must have an unusual relationship.

After they entered the private room that had been reserved in advance, Xu Zhiyi took out his cell phone to send a message to someone as soon as he sat down before ordering any food.

Zhu Xu looked at the menu and teased, "I'm telling you, you're really a hypocrite. Don't you dare say that the person you're contacting now is not the buddy who's eating here? I told them to come over and I'd treat them so we can get to know each other and have some fun. You didn't even nod when I mentioned it all the way. Now that I'm not mentioning it, you're messaging him again. Who is this buddy? Is it necessary to hide him like this? Logically, I know most of your friends, right?"

Xu Zhi, who was poked, was suddenly speechless.

It was true that he was sending a message to Shen Yao, and when Zhu Xu finished his last word, his message was successfully sent.

[Xu Zhi: Are you in Quanlin Villa? ]

[Xu Zhi: My friends and I came here for dinner, and I happened to see the car you drove today outside.]

[Xu Zhi: When will your part-time job end? How about we go back together later?]

【Xu Zhi: If you are too busy, I can wait for you. 】

Zhu Xu saw that his fingertips had been typing quickly on the screen, back and forth. It was obvious that he had not said just a few words. He couldn't help but ask, "I see you talk a lot, too. What's wrong? Who is this guy? Why do you treat him so differently? Why do you say so little to me?"

Xu Zhi: ...

Zhu Xu seemed to be thinking: "Could it be that I talk too much and too often? I haven't given you enough room to develop your abilities?"

After reflecting on it, he did not forget to get to the point: "But since we have already contacted each other, let's also tell that guy the location of the private room, so that it will be convenient for him to come over, or to show our enthusiasm and welcome, we can go over to pick him up."

......

Shen Yao saw the message from Xu Zhi when Zhao Ming and Zhou Cheng left the private room to smoke.

She thought about how she had drunk quite a bit of wine today and she really couldn't drive home at night, so she asked some more questions when replying to the message.

[Shen Yao: Yes, I am at Quanlin Villa now.]

[Shen Yao: There may be one or two hours left before the end, I’m not sure.]

[Shen Yao: If you finish your meal at a good time, can I take your car back home? I've had a few drinks, so it's not convenient for me to drive.]

[Shen Yao: If it's not a coincidence, I can just contact the designated driver. You can go back first and don't have to wait for me.]

She had just finished sending all the messages when Xu Zhi called her.

Before Shen Yao answered the phone, she did not forget to remind the system: "Don't record this part."

The system instantly got angry. "Why can't I record it? It's not like I don't have human audio editing skills. Can't I just edit it out separately and not mix it with the evidence? Humph, I'll record it even if you don't allow me to!"

Shen Yao:? ? ?

Something is wrong. Why is this little Tongzi so rebellious today?

But she didn't have time to dwell on its rebellion and quickly answered the phone.
