CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

"It's that Zhang Tian, ​​the new official from Handong Province. What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the tea he gave me?"

At this moment, Old Master Zhong still didn't know why he had fainted. He looked confused when Gao Qilin inquired about Zhang Tian.

"The tea he gave you is indeed problematic."

Chapter 363 Not an Official

Seeing that Mr. Zhong was unaware of the situation, Gao Qilin told him the whole story.

To convince Zhong Lao of his words, Gao Qilin even took out the test report he had obtained earlier after he finished speaking.

"This guy seems pretty honest, I never expected him to do something like this to me!"

Upon learning what had happened, Dr. Zhong immediately flew into a rage and tore the test report in his hand into pieces.

"No, get my phone right now, I need to get to the bottom of this."

As soon as Mr. Zhong finished speaking, his mother picked up the phone from the side and waited anxiously.

At this moment, Mr. Zhong kept searching through his contacts and soon found someone who could handle the matter.

But just as he was about to make a call, Gao Qilin stopped him.

Zhong Lao was puzzled by Gao Qilin's behavior and questioned him after seeing it:

"What are you doing?"

"I don't think it's appropriate to ask now, since we don't have enough evidence yet. Asking like this could easily alert them."

After careful consideration, Mr. Zhong felt that Gao Qilin's words made sense, so he did not contact anyone else.

But Old Zhong couldn't swallow his anger, and after thinking for a while, he asked again:

"Do you have any good ideas? We can't just leave this matter unresolved."

"You don't need to worry about that. Xiao Ai and I will handle this matter. All you need to do is take good care of your health."

After saying that, Gao Qilin looked at Zhong Xiaoai beside him.

Zhong Xiaoai quickly understood his intention and then said:

"Yes, I will handle this matter properly and will make sure you don't go to that hospital for nothing."

"Thank you so much. If you encounter any problems along the way, please feel free to contact me. I'll be happy to help. Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll take a rest now. I need to recuperate these next few days."

Seeing their serious expressions, Zhong felt much relieved and closed his eyes to rest.

Gao Qilin had now obtained all the information he wanted. Knowing there was no point in staying any longer, he left after exchanging a few words with Zhong's mother.

After they left the hospital, Zhong Xiaoai directly questioned them:

"Why not let my father handle this directly? I think he'd be much more capable of resolving this than we are."

"He can handle this much more easily than we can, but don't forget, it would also bring him a lot of trouble. You don't want to see your father jump into a fire pit, do you?"

Seeing that Zhong Xiaoai did not understand the current situation, Gao Qilin directly explained the situation.

At this point, Zhong Xiaoai realized this and stopped talking.

"So what are you going to do next? Follow the trail to Handong Province and settle accounts with that person?"

"That's not the case. You have to understand that Handong Province is very far from us. I don't think it's worth it for us to go there in person given his current status. What we need to do now is to investigate him thoroughly, gather all his information, and then come up with a plan."

After hearing Gao Qilin say that, Zhong Xiaoai, who was standing next to him, didn't know what to say anymore.

In order to get Zhang Tian under control as soon as possible, she used her connections to help Gao Qilin find information in the following days.

Fortunately, Zhong Xiaoai had connections with those officials, so obtaining someone's information wasn't difficult, and she quickly got her hands on Zhang Tian's information.

"What's going on? He's not an official. How did someone like him get into my father's birthday banquet?"

When Zhong Xiaoai saw the information Zhang filled in, she looked puzzled. She knew that most of the people who attended the birthday banquet that day were prominent figures.

"That means he has special connections. It seems we should ask your father himself to find out the truth."

After seeing this information, Gao Qilin realized that things were not simple. In order to obtain more accurate information, Gao Qilin decided to visit Professor Zhong again.

"How's the investigation on your end going with case 493?"

Because Mr. Zhong had been concerned about this matter for the past few days, he immediately inquired about the progress of the matter after seeing Gao Qilin arrive.

“I have some information about him, but I found out that he is not an official in Handong Province and is currently unemployed. I was wondering how someone like him managed to get into your birthday banquet.”

Seeing how concerned Zhong Lao was, Gao Qilin stopped beating around the bush and directly stated his investigation results and the problems he was currently facing.

"What did you say? He's not an official from Handong?"

Upon hearing Gao Qilin's words, Elder Zhong was completely stunned, which shows that he was unaware of the matter.

"You don't know anything about Zhang Tian either?"

Seeing Zhong Lao's performance, Gao Qilin had a bad feeling, thinking that his trip had been in vain.

"How could I possibly know them all? There were so many people at the birthday banquet that day, I simply didn't have time to greet everyone individually. It was already quite an achievement that I could remember his name and face."

Chapter 364 Tracking

At this point, Mr. Zhong looked helpless, regretting that he hadn't investigated Zhang Tian properly back then.

"It seems I really need to be more careful from now on. Whenever a stranger gets close to me, I must find out their background beforehand to avoid causing such a thing again."

After Old Zhong finished his sigh, he turned his attention back to Gao Qilin. He knew that Gao Qilin had come to him because he was facing a problem, so he continued:

"By the way, have you encountered any problems on your end? If so, just say so directly. There's no need to beat around the bush in front of me."

"There's nothing wrong. I was just a little worried about your situation, so I came to check on you. Seeing that you're much better than you were a couple of days ago, I'm not worried about you anymore."

Gao Qilin knew that Zhong Lao had no more information to help him, so he made up a reason to come.

"You don't need to worry about my situation at all. It's just food poisoning. It's not a serious illness. I'll be fine after a couple of days of rest."

"Although it's not a serious illness, you should still be careful. I'm relieved that you're doing well. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I'll try to get all the information Zhang Tian has as soon as possible."

At this point, Gao Qilin felt that there was no point in staying, so he said a few words and left.

"So, did you find out anything about Zhang Tian?"

Upon seeing Gao Qilin emerge from the hospital, Zhong Xiaoai immediately went up to inquire about his whereabouts.

Faced with Zhong Xiaoai's question, Gao Qilin sighed and said helplessly:

“Your father doesn’t know Zhang Tian either, so it seems we’ll have to rely on ourselves to handle this.”

For the next period of time, they once again focused their efforts on finding Zhang Tian.

Fortunately, he hasn't gone back yet, making the investigation much easier.

After using their connections, they quickly found out where Zhang Tian was currently living.

In order to obtain more comprehensive information, Gao Qilin decided to personally follow him for two days to see if he could glean some information from Zhang Tian's daily life.

But getting started is the hardest part. Gao Qilin had no experience in tracking, and how to track him became a headache for them.

Seeing that Gao Qilin insisted on following him himself, Zhong Xiaoai was genuinely worried.

"Why don't we just hire some professionals? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble if you go and follow them?"

"No, if we ask someone else for information, it's easy for them to have problems. It's more reassuring to handle Gao Qilin's matter personally. Don't worry, my hands and feet aren't that clumsy, there shouldn't be any problems with following Zhang Tian."

At this point, Zhong Xiaoai couldn't say anything more and could only pray that he wouldn't get into trouble.

Over the next few days, Gao Qilin spent his time searching for relevant information online and practicing.

To ensure everything went smoothly, he even followed Zhong Xiaoai for several days, during which she remained completely unaware.

This made Gao Qilin feel that he had practiced his tracking skills enough, so he went directly to the vicinity of Zhang Tian's residence and patiently waited for him to appear.

Zhang Tian never imagined that someone would be following him, so he went out to find Zhao Ruilong as usual.

Gao Qilin was quite surprised when he saw him arrive at Zhao Ruilong's residence.

"What's going on? How could he be in contact with Zhao Ruilong?"

After several days of surveillance, he discovered that Zhang Tian and Zhao Ruilong had an extraordinary relationship.

Zhao Ruilong was Gao Qilin's mortal enemy, which gave Gao Qilin some clues about the matter.

After uncovering some findings, Gao Qilin immediately approached Zhong Xiaoai and recounted what he had discovered over the past few days.

"I think it was Zhao Ruilong who sent Zhang Tian to attend your father's birthday banquet."

"Zhao Ruilong? Is that the one who's always been against you?"

Upon hearing that it was Zhao Ruilong, Zhong Xiaoai looked incredulous.

“That’s right. Otherwise, think about it. How could Zhang Tian, ​​who only has a junior high school education, do things so thoroughly? There must be someone guiding him from behind. And when I’ve been observing him these past few days, I’ve found that he’s only had contact with Zhao Ruilong. So I’m certain that he’s Zhao Ruilong’s henchman.”

"This shouldn't be happening. Isn't Zhao Ruilong going against you? Why is my father being dragged into this?"

Although Gao Qilin's analysis was well-organized, Zhong Xiaoai still didn't understand why this matter would involve Old Zhong, so she voiced her doubts.

Zhong Xiaoai's question hit the nail on the head, leaving Gao Qilin momentarily at a loss for words.

"Although Zhao Ruilong is someone we have a grudge against, we can't blame everything on him. I think we need to observe this matter more closely."

Gao Qilin knew that the evidence he had was not enough to convince Zhong Xiaoai.

To convince him of his words, Gao Qilin began to follow Zhang Tian again for the next period of time.
