The car drove for about twenty minutes before it turned into a small road.
There were two rows of four-storey houses on either side of the path.
The car stopped in front of one of the houses."Xi Wen, here we are. The detective's office is on the fourth floor."
Huo Xi Wen looked at the house in front of him, opened the door, and got out of the car.
She was led into the corridor by Chen Zicheng. As she was not a high-ranking worker, she did not install an elevator. Huo XIwen climbed the stairs with his heels that were more than ten centimeters tall.
But she did not stop.
Chen Zi Chen walked in front, and when he reached the third floor, he could not keep up with her speed, so he said, "There's no elevator here, so climbing the stairs is quite tiring. Can you still go up?"
"I don't care. Continue to lead the way." Huo Xiwen waved her hand and gritted her teeth as she persisted.
"How about I carry you?" Chen could tell she was tired, so he suggested.
"No need, these few floors are not difficult for me. It's just that I haven't climbed the stairs for a long time." Huo Xi Wen panted.
Seeing her insistence, Chen Zi Chen did not push her further and continued walking forward with his head lowered.
When he arrived at the fourth floor, Huo XIwen saw a big glass door. The door was cold and empty, and when he looked in from the outside, it seemed that there weren't many people inside.
Chen Zi Chen walked in front and pushed the door open. Two desks, two computers, a sofa and a coffee table were placed inside.
In front of the computer sat a young man with a cigarette in his mouth. His eyes were fixed on the computer screen, one hand holding the mouse, the other furiously pressing the mechanical keyboard, making a "Da Da Da" sound.
"Cough, cough..." Chen Zi Chen walked over to the sofa and sat down, coughing twice.
"Who is it?" The young man in front of the computer didn't have time to look up at the guests who had entered the room. His eyes were fixated on the game on the computer screen.
Seeing this scene, Huo XIwen immediately felt that the people here did not seem to be reliable. She turned around and was about to leave.
Chen Zi Chen held her hand and pushed her onto the sofa. He patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, then stood up and walked to the side of the man, looking at him condescendingly."Are you playing games?"
"Yeah." The man replied.
"Is it fun?" he continued.
"Of course it's fun, you..." As the man spoke, he suddenly felt that something was wrong and immediately lifted his head to look at him. When he saw that the person in front of him was Chen Zicheng, he was immediately frightened, "Chen..." "Mr. Chen, why are you here?"
"Where's your Director Yang?" Chen Zicheng couldn't be bothered to waste words with him, so he directly asked.
"Director Yang is sleeping in the office inside. Please do a little work, I'll go call him." The man quickly dropped the mouse and ran to a closed door. He knocked on it and entered the room.
Soon, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties walking out of the office. As he walked, he was still buttoning his shirt, and besides the young man who just went in, there was also a woman in a tight dress who was in her thirties.
"Mr. Chen, you've come. I hope you can forgive me for not welcoming you." Yang Li's face was full of smiles when he saw Chen Zichen.
Huo XIwen clearly saw that there was a lip print that was the same color as the woman's lipstick on his neck, causing his impression of the middle-aged man to drop to the extreme.
When the woman saw Chen Zichen, she too was full of smiles and flattering him.
"Director Yang, you're in such a good mood, it's daytime..." Chen Zi Chen wanted to tease him for a bit, but when he noticed Huo XIwen's presence, he immediately put away his expression, "Go wash your face. I have something to do for you."
Yang Li knew that since the moment he appeared, the God of Fortune had arrived. He didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly nodded his head and went to the washroom to the side.
A few minutes later, he ran out. The water on his face had not completely dried yet, and there were still some white toilet paper fragments on his face.
"Mr. Chen, who are you targeting this time?" he asked as he walked over to the sofa and looked at Chen Zicheng and Huo XIwen, who were sitting on it.
Chen Zicheng pointed at Huo XIwen, who was standing beside him, and introduced him, "This is Miss Huo, the client this time is her."
"Hello, Miss Huo. Hello." Chen Zi Chen stretched out his hand and looked at Huo XIwen enthusiastically.
Huo Xiwen glanced at him, but didn't shake his hand. Instead, she looked at Chen Zicheng with some hesitation, as if doubting his professionalism.
"Xi Wen, don't look at how he's acting, he's actually quite reliable in terms of business." Chen Zi Chen knew what she was worried about and quickly spoke up for Yang Li.
"Is that so?" However, Huo XIwen didn't quite believe it.
A young man addicted to the internet, a middle-aged uncle who had lustful desires, and a female subordinate who had an unscrupulous style, this kind of combination really made her worry.
"Does Miss Huo think that our company is not big enough to trust our technology? To tell you the truth, I used to be a paparazzi. I was the one who caught all the revelations about the big stars that you guys saw on the news. However, it was also because of the privacy of many celebrities that I was later sued by a lot of people. I had no choice but to change the direction of my business, so you don't have to doubt my expertise." Yang Li did not hesitate to tell Huo XIwen what he had done in the past in order to gain her trust.
After Huo XIwen finished listening to his words, he turned around to look at Chen Zichen, who was standing beside him, as if asking for confirmation.
Chen Zi Chen nodded at her."Xi Wen, if you really want someone to follow you, he's the most suitable candidate."
"Alright, I'll believe you this time." In fact, she didn't have much choice now.
She could only investigate Zhao Wei secretly and could not alert anyone.
Chen was the only person who wasn't in her circle. That was why she dared to ask him to introduce her to a private detective.
"I wonder who is the person that Huo XIwen wants to keep an eye on?" Yang Li saw that Huo XIwen seemed to approve of him, so he asked.
She took out her mobile and opened a web page, searching for Zhao Wei's information. She handed it over to Yang Li and said, "It's him, I want you to watch him for me twenty-four hours a day. Report his whereabouts to me as well as anyone else you've met.
Yang Li took the phone and looked at the information on it. His expression slightly changed, "The president of Ming Zhu Group?"
"What is it? Is there a problem? " Huo Xiwen asked.
"No, that's not the case. It was Mr. Chen who asked me to check on his assistant, and now you want me to keep an eye on this CEO, I think..."
"You don't need to think that. If you can do this, then take it. If you can't, then I'll switch." Huo XIwen didn't want to listen to him, and she also didn't want him to think too much about this matter.
