In the east wing room.
Qin Beiting sat in front of the computer at his desk, processing emails. Chen Dong sat opposite him, intently watching the playback of surveillance footage on his laptop screen.
The surveillance was from the south gate of Shijing Park, focusing on the lockers. He rewound the time to before Yu He had gone, wanting to find out who had placed the item for her.
After watching two hours at high speed, Chen Dong finally spotted someone dressed entirely in black, wearing a baseball cap, a black mask, and sunglasses, completely covered. This person approached locker number 09 and deposited something.
"Ting Ge, I found him," Chen Dong pressed pause and turned the screen towards Qin Beiting. "But he's too well covered."
Even so, the physique indicated it was a man.
A man!
Qin Beiting switched the surveillance video back to normal speed. He watched as the man in black placed an envelope into the locker, took a photo, and then left. The entire process took less than a minute.
He replayed it several times. Chen Dong thought he was analyzing the man's physique and habitual movements to deduce his identity, but then Qin Beiting spoke:
"Do you think he might have put a love letter there?"
Chen Dong, who was drinking water, was suddenly choked by his words. "Cough, cough, cough..."
Dressed like that, secretly delivering a love letter in the park?
He remembered that his boss definitely had a brain, but ever since his boss started dating, his brain seemed to become less flexible at times.
Especially when it came to Yu He.
He had already investigated the backgrounds of countless men who had appeared around Yu He. As long as any opposite sex appeared near Yu He or had contact with her, Qin Beiting's next sentence would be, "I want all his information."
One word from the boss and the hardworking subordinates were exhausted.
At this moment, Chen Dong didn't want to investigate anymore. Shijing Park was so large, with hundreds of surveillance cameras. If they had to trace his route one by one to find the true identity of the man in black, his eyes would go blind.
He still had plenty of legitimate work to do!
So, Chen Dong had a flash of inspiration and said, "No. Love letters are usually in pink or red envelopes. He was holding a white one, so it's definitely not a love letter. Besides, no matter what it says, this man has no chance with Miss Yu. Miss Yu is already with you."
These words seemed to resonate with Qin Beiting. He nodded and said, "You make a lot of sense."
Hearing this, Chen Dong felt a sense of relief, only to hear Qin Beiting continue:
"Within forty-two hours, I want all his information. I want to see who gave him the courage to have ideas about my woman."
Chen Dong: "..."
Boss, can your possessiveness over Sister-in-law not be so perverted!
Just then, Yu He knocked and entered. Qin Beiting signaled Chen Dong to leave.
"Ting Ge, is Qi Nan free recently?" Yu He asked.
She remembered that before her return, Qi Nan had been responsible for Qin Beiting's condition. After she took over, he appeared less frequently.
Last week, when they were recruiting a medicinal chef, Yu He had even received a resume from him joining in the fun, but Qin Beiting had sent him away.
Seeing Yu He suddenly ask about Qi Nan, Qin Beiting grew suspicious. "Why are you suddenly asking about him?"
He had sent Qi Nan abroad to study, specifically for Yu He's nyctophobia. Her body's emergency reactions when her nyctophobia acted up were too abnormal; it wasn't ordinary fear of the dark, and Yu He herself was unaware of this symptom.
If her condition were exploited by someone with ill intentions, the consequences could be dire. Therefore, it was best for as few people as possible to know about this. And the only trustworthy and capable person around him was Qi Nan.
"If he's not busy, can I borrow him for a few days?" Yu He asked.
She remembered that Qi Nan's specialty was neurology, and he had considerable academic achievements in this field.
And since Qi Nan worked for Qin Beiting, she had to ask the boss for personnel first.
Qin Beiting frowned. "Am I not enough for you?"
Yu He froze for a moment before understanding his meaning. She playfully chided, "Pervert!"
Qin Beiting laughed, pulling her into his arms and making her sit on his lap. "Since you call me a pervert, should I live up to that title?"
"Behave!" Yu He immediately pressed down on his restless hands. "I've taken on a vegetative patient. I remember Qi Nan's specialty is neurology, and I want him to come and take a look with me."
Two people researching together would definitely be faster than one. Moreover, they had collaborated on a surgery before and had a good rapport.
Qin Beiting felt a pang of concern. "Such a complicated patient? Don't take it. You're only eighteen, you don't need to push yourself so hard. Even if you don't work, I can support you. Don't exhaust yourself. Shall we go on a date the day after tomorrow?"
Speaking of which, the two of them hadn't had a proper date yet!
Yu He raised an eyebrow. "The day after tomorrow?"
"Uh-huh," Qin Beiting replied.
Yu He turned and stared at him intently. "Why not tomorrow?"
"...Because..." Qin Beiting thought about a reason that wouldn't be a lie and would be plausible.
Yu He didn't give him a chance and interrupted him. "Did you peek at my schedule?"
The day after tomorrow was when she was scheduled to meet with Qin Yonghao for a meeting at the Qin Corporation headquarters.
"Cough..." Qin Beiting gave an unnatural cough.
Seeing this, Yu He knew her guess was correct.
She was a little displeased. "Why do you always stop me from going to Qin's?"
Ever since she signed the contract, he had subtly or overtly encouraged her to terminate it.
"This project with the Qin family is bound to fail. I don't want you to get involved and end up wasting your time and energy," Qin Beiting revealed his inner worries.
Hearing his confident tone, Yu He thought about the booming XS Group, her purpose for joining Qin's, and the unpredictable factor of Li Sichen. Indeed, the success rate of Qin's new chip development project wasn't optimistic.
But she didn't care; she just wanted to achieve her goal!
"Don't worry about that. I'll borrow Qi Nan for a few days, and then I'll accompany you on a date tomorrow, okay?" she asked, wrapping her arms around Qin Beiting's neck.
Qin Beiting frowned, seeing that she still wasn't giving up on joining Qin's. He neither agreed nor refused her request.
Just then, the phone on his desk rang. He glanced at the caller ID, let go of Yu He, and got up to answer it.
Yu He's phone also received a text message, a location sent by Li Sichen.
She remembered Li Sichen's promise to give her the exclusive code for pkvulcan. She got up to leave, inadvertently bumping the mouse on the desk, which accidentally switched the computer screen to the browser.
She happened to see the search history:
"Ways to have an unforgettable date for a girl."
"Date itinerary."
"Things to note for a date."
She found it novel. So Qin Beiting also did his homework. She had thought he was naturally gifted when it came to dating!
