When they reached the parking lot, Qian Ruoyao immediately pulled Lin Dai and said excitedly, "Lin Dai, you are amazing. It was so exciting just now."

"Yes, yes." Qian Zhihao also came over and said, "The expressions of the Dong family members just now were very interesting, just like a palette."

Although they were enjoying themselves, they were still worried. Lin Dai smiled and said, "This is not the place to talk, everyone. You must be hungry. Let's go eat first and talk while we eat."

"Okay, then let's go to the private restaurant. It's more private there." Mr. Gu suggested.

Then everyone started to get in the car. Qian Zhihao followed behind Lin Dai like a servile boy, smiling very ugly: "Sister Lin Dai, I will ride in the same car with you."

Before Lin Dai could say anything, Qian Zhihao was pulled away: "Come here, if you leave, who will drive me?"

Lin Dai looked at her car, then at her shoes, and raised her head to ask, "How did you get here? Is there a driver?"

Wang Jinfeng replied, "I came here by myself. I picked up Uncle Qian. Assistant Liu drove Mr. Gu. The driver brought Mr. Shen and Brother Qing here. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing serious. I just wanted to ask if there's an extra driver to help me drive. I'm too lazy to change my shoes."

Qian Zhihao jumped out immediately: "Me! Me!"

Qian Ruoyao looked at him and said, "Forget it, just drive yourself." She shook her head and thought, "I'm fine."

"Let me do it." Shen Qing walked straight over and came to the driver's seat.

Qian Zhihao immediately howled: "Brother Qing, you can't snatch it from me. I said it first."

Qian Ruoyao slapped him on the head and said as she pulled him into the car: "You have no sense at all."

Seeing this, Lin Dai gave the keys to Shen Qing and walked to the side and sat in the passenger seat.

The group set off and arrived at Xuan De Private Restaurant, where the manager was already waiting for them at the door.

After we sat down in the box, the food started to be served. It was obvious that it had been prepared on the way here.

As they ate and talked, Old Gu asked Lin Dai, "Girl, what move are you making? This is not going to end well. The Dong family will definitely not let this go."

The others nodded, but Lin Dai looked indifferent: "Don't worry, whether you believe it or not, I really don't take the Dong family seriously. I have always liked to help the weak and punish corrupt officials and punish those who have committed many evil deeds. Families like the Dong family should have been eliminated long ago, and I will definitely not let them go."

Old Gu said solemnly, "It's just that we still don't know the background of the Dong family. I wonder if they have a backer?"

"Given the current status of the Dong family, does it still need a backer? If there is one, it must be the one above?" Lin Dai said doubtfully.

Everyone ate in silence. No one spoke. Shen Qing picked up some food for Lin Dai and said, "It shouldn't be."

Lin Dai nodded while eating and said casually: "No matter what, even if it's the one above, or even from other countries, as long as I'm unhappy, I don't mind changing that seat."

Everyone stopped eating and looked at her in shock. Mr. Shen put down his chopsticks and coughed softly: "Girl, there are some things you can't say casually."

Lin Dai looked at their frightened expressions and said arrogantly, "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm used to being arrogant. Don't worry, as long as the one we have now is not bad, we won't mess with him. Let's continue eating."

Everyone had a very complicated mood during the meal. Before leaving, Shen Qing told Lin Dai: "If you need help, just tell me."

Lin Dai patted his shoulder and said, "I don't think so, but you should have it. I'll give you something in a couple of days."

After finishing the day's work, Lin Dai returned home and lay directly on the sofa with her eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling. Then she suddenly stood up and walked to the bedroom to change clothes and wash up. By the way, she said, "Fatty, check all the affairs of the Dong family and search for evidence of crimes. A family like the Dong family must have committed many crimes."

"Okay, I'll check it thoroughly."

It was an hour later when Lin Dai came out again.

"How's Chubby Cha?"

"Miss, as you expected, the Dong family has committed many illegal acts. To put it simply, the younger generations of the Dong family have committed many illegal acts. For example, Dong Siyi has secretly done many things that hurt other people."

"The others are all girls, right?"

"Yes, that's right. Secondly, there are the Dong family's business affairs, tax evasion, bribery, the tax bureau and even other high-level people have their people, and they have even cooperated with the underworld. There are also many shady things about Dong Jianguo in the military."

"Then you have sorted out all the evidence. What about his background? Does he really have a backer?"

"In fact, the Dong family does not have any backers. If anything, they have developed their own forces over the years. Because the Dong family got rich relatively early, hundreds of years ago, so even though Dong Huang's generation experienced turbulent times, the family has a rich foundation and has developed relatively well. To this day, they have people in all walks of life, even in the underworld."

"That means the Dong family can be considered a century-old family. Where did the poisonous insect come from?"

"It was just an accident. When Dong Huang was still in the army, he accidentally broke into a cave during a mission and found a bacterial bomb left by Country R during the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, Dong Huang was eager to make a contribution, so he went into the cave alone to check. A worm fell on him, and Dong Huang was so scared that he didn't dare to move at all. Because the worm was crystal clear, he was afraid that it was poisonous and didn't dare to touch it with his hands. Who knew that the worm actually crawled directly to his chest and didn't move. Finally, after several attempts, it was found that the worm wanted to stick to his jade pendant. So Dong Huang took the worm back, consulted various books and guessed that it might be a poisonous insect, so he kept it. During this period, he tested it on animals and found that the animals died silently in the end, and then the worm would come out by itself. So the poisonous insect has been placed together with the jade pendant and kept by Dong Huang until it was used on Shen Qing this time."

"Oh~ I see. Dong Huang has pretty good luck."

Lin Dai was even more confused. What kind of jade pendant was so magical? It could attract poisonous insects and save people?

"Chubby, what's the situation with the jade pendant?"

"According to the information we have found so far, the jade pendant was passed down from the ancestors of the Dong family. If you want to find out more about it, you need 50 merits."

"What?" Lin Dai jumped up from the bed in fear and shouted, "You still want merit? 50, you are robbing me!"

"No, it's this system that searches for information. It doesn't require merit to search for existing information, but it does require merit to search for information from hundreds of years ago."

"That doesn't require so much, 50 merits! I have reason to suspect that this is definitely a scam."

"No way, do you still want to investigate?" the system asked weakly.

"No, that's it for now."

"Okay, ah! No, I read it wrong, it's not 50, it's 5."

"That's not necessary. I have even more reason to suspect this is a trap. You should sort out all the information and evidence now."

After saying that, he continued to lie on the bed and play with his phone. The system had to give up the opportunity to earn merit and was ready to get busy. Suddenly, he thought of something: "Oh, is there another piece of information about the Shen family?"

Lin Dai frowned and looked at the system and asked, "Did you check the Shen family too?"

The system quickly explained: "No, it was when we were investigating the Dong family that we discovered something related to the Shen family."

Lin Dai stood up and sat cross-legged on the bed, signaling for the system to speak.

"In fact, General Shen Linhong had an older son who disappeared 50 years ago."

"What do you mean? Are you saying that the child's disappearance is related to the Dong family?"

"Because it was the old lady of the Dong family who lost him. 50 years ago, Shen Linhong and Dong Huang were in the same army. Shen Linhong's wife took their 5-year-old son to the army to find him. On the train, they happened to meet Dong Huang and his new wife returning to the army. Mrs. Shen had met Dong Huang before, so they returned together. But Dong Huang's new wife had bad intentions. When the train stopped at a station, while Mrs. Shen went to the toilet to help look after the child, she deliberately took the child off the train and left him outside the station. Then she lied to Mrs. Shen that the child was abducted by human traffickers. At that time, there happened to be other children abducted by human traffickers, so Mrs. Shen thought it was true. At that time, it was very difficult to find a lost child."

Lin Dai was so angry that she pounded the bed and cursed: "This old witch is so vicious. Didn't they just meet? Why did she do this?"

"Because this old lady Dong had her eyes on General Shen at first, but the Shen family was not well off at the time, and Shen Linhong didn't like her either. And Dong Huang happened to be pursuing her, so she kept hesitating. But Shen Linhong got married in his hometown, and old lady Dong was unwilling to accept it. So when she saw Madam Shen, she hated her very much."

"Oh my god, how shameless! People from the same family are like each other. It's a pity that the old witch is gone now, otherwise I would have revealed her true face."

"So what about the lost child now? Is he still alive?"

"Still alive, and still related to the host."

Lin Dai opened her eyes wide in horror: "Ah? No way, it can't be that bloody."

"What are you thinking? It's related to someone you know. You don't know Shen Qing's uncle, but you know his child, your classmate Zhang Xiaoling. His father is Shen Qing's uncle, the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Yanzhi. Shen Qing's father is Shen Yuanzhi."

"Have you checked the information about Zhang Xiaoling's family?"

"I checked. Shen Yanzhi was left at the train station in S City and wandered around for a month. Fortunately, he was picked up by an elderly couple who worked at a noodle shop and taken home. They named him Zhang Yan. Shen Yanzhi was only 5 years old at the time and was scared when wandering around. He forgot his name and only remembered the pronunciation of the word "yan", so he was named Zhang Yan."

"When Zhang Yan was 14 years old, the old couple passed away, and Zhang Yan inherited the noodle shop. Then he got married and had children when he was old enough. He has a son and a daughter. Now his son is married and has children, and his daughter is in school."

There was too much information to check. Lin Dai rolled over on the bed and sighed, "Fatty, keep the Shen family's information separate."

"Don't worry, the information is not finished yet." The system flew over Lin Dai and reminded her.

"No, what else is there?"
