The tug-of-war between Shi Yunchen, Pei Luonan and Kong Haoyu in the restaurant continued for a while.

At this time, the warm yellow light softly sprinkled on the dining table in the restaurant, and the food in front of it had long lost its heat.

Shi Yunchen's mind was still replaying the mysterious scenes in the surveillance video, the outlines of black shadows, the flickering of light and shadow. A strong desire to explore was burning in his heart, and he couldn't wait to dig deeper into the secrets behind the video.

Shi Yunchen was just about to get up and leave when he inadvertently saw Pei Luonan and Kong Haoyu exchange glances.

That look was as fast as a flash of lightning, but it hit his nerves directly, making Shi Yunchen's heart tighten suddenly.

The look in his eyes was complex, tense, mysterious, and contained a barely perceptible hint of guilt, as if conveying a secret message that only they knew.

Shi Yunchen's heart skipped a beat and an indescribable sense of weirdness arose.

He wondered to himself, what on earth are these two doing? Their behavior today was particularly strange, and now they were exchanging glances, there must be something wrong.

"You two, are you hiding something from me today?" Shi Yunchen stopped, stared at Pei Luonan and Kong Haoyu, and asked directly. His sharp eyes seemed to penetrate their disguise.

When Pei Luonan heard this, a trace of guilt flashed across his face for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, forced a smile and said, "How could that be, Yunchen, you're overthinking it." As he said that, he stepped forward and pulled Shi Yunchen's arm.

In Shi Yunchen's opinion, this pull seemed more like an attempt to cover up something.

Shi Yunchen's doubts grew stronger. The boss' smile was too fake, a smile that was trying hard to hide his guilty conscience. The action of pulling his arm was also too eager, which was totally unlike his usual calm self.

Kong Haoyu also chimed in: "Yes, second brother, stop guessing, there is no way I am hiding anything from you."

But he avoided Shi Yunchen's gaze, and he lowered his head slightly while speaking, his fingers unconsciously tugging at the corner of his clothes.

Shi Yunchen's eyes were fixed on Kong Haoyu's subtle movements, and the doubts in his heart grew like weeds.

Kong Haoyu is usually carefree, but today he was so abnormal. He didn't dare to look into my eyes and kept making small movements. This was definitely not his normal state.

Shi Yunchen would not be fooled easily. He broke away from Pei Luonan's hand, frowned and said: "You two behaved very abnormally today. At first, you forced me to come out for dinner and didn't let me watch the video; during dinner, you made the things in the video sound incredible, which aroused my curiosity; now you persuade me to give up the investigation and stay out of other people's business.

What on earth do you want to do? Don't try to fool me, you must explain it clearly today!" Shi Yunchen's voice unconsciously rose, and people passing by cast curious glances at him.

Pei Luonan and Kong Haoyu felt a little embarrassed when they were questioned by him.

Pei Luonan gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great decision, and said: "Yun Chen, it's actually about the surveillance video you watched. The matter here is far more complicated than we imagined, and the forces involved behind it are intertwined. We think you should not investigate further."

When Shi Yunchen heard this, he was not frightened, but his curiosity grew. "Complicated? How complicated? Don't keep me in suspense, tell me everything you know."

Shi Yunchen took a step forward, his eyes fixed on Pei Luonan, as if he wanted to see through him.

Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Kong Haoyu also spoke up: "The people involved in the video have unfathomable backgrounds and complicated networks of relationships. If we continue to investigate, we will definitely get into big trouble, and maybe even our own safety cannot be guaranteed." His voice trembled slightly, and his face was full of worry.

Shi Yunchen sneered and said disdainfully: "With our three invincible business musketeers, why would we be afraid of these?" His eyes were firm, revealing his persistence in seeking the truth.

Pei Luonan sighed and advised: "Yun Chen, don't be impulsive. We have learned a little about this matter, but we can't find anything substantial. It would be a waste of effort to investigate further, and you might even get yourself involved. It's not worth it."

After hearing this, Shi Yunchen became even more confused: "One moment you said it was complicated, and the next moment you advised me to give up. Before that, you even deliberately aroused my curiosity. Why? Did you know something a long time ago and deliberately hide it from me?"

Shi Yunchen leaned against the wall of the restaurant, his brain running like a high-speed machine, frantically analyzing everything.

From being forcibly dragged out to eat, to the two people vividly describing the complexity of the video, to now desperately persuading him to let go, this series of actions is illogical and absurd.

He carefully recalled every detail, every expression and every word of Pei Luonan and Kong Haoyu.

He thought to himself, could it be that this video involves their interests?

But they don't seem like the kind of people who would hide things for their own benefit.

Or was there someone behind the scenes directing them to stop him from investigating? But that didn't make sense. Who was the boss? How could he be directed by someone?

Or maybe they don't want to put themselves in danger? But if that's the case, why not just say it out loud instead of hiding it?

Just thinking about this, Shi Yunchen was suddenly stunned.

From the very beginning, I focused my attention on the content of the video, repeatedly pondering the ins and outs of the incident, but I overlooked a crucial issue - the video itself.

Where did this video come from? How did Pei Luonan and Kong Haoyu come across and pay attention to this video?

You know, it wasn't them who had the item stolen, so why would they be so concerned about this video?

Shi Yunchen's eyes suddenly became sharp. He stared at Pei Luonan and Kong Haoyu closely, and a bold guess arose in his mind: Could this video be related to the two of them?

If this is true, then all their previous strange behaviors can be explained.

Taking myself out for dinner was to interrupt my exploration of the video; describing the video in a complicated way was to mislead myself; persuading myself to give up was to cover up the truth behind it.

In the following days, Shi Yunchen secretly conducted an investigation.

He traced the source of the video bit by bit through various connections, and finally found that there was a bigger secret behind the video. It turned out that the video was not produced by Pei Luonan and Kong Haoyu, but a trap they deliberately set to destroy Jiang Chengjun's conspiracy to destroy the real contract, attempt to default on the 10 billion debt and take back the shares.

They had long been aware of Jiang Chengjun's evil ambitions and set up this trap just to lure Jiang Chengjun into the trap and capture evidence of him hiring someone to steal the contract so that they could give him a fatal blow by surprise.

After learning the truth, Shi Yunchen's anger and doubts slowly dissipated, and were replaced by understanding of the two people's good intentions.

He found Pei Luonan and Kong Haoyu, looked at their sad faces, and sighed: "You are not brothers enough. Why didn't you discuss such a big thing with me earlier? You have to make it so mysterious."

Pei Luonan scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Yun Chen, we are afraid that you will be too impulsive and go directly to confront Jiang Chengjun and let the news leak out. This will only cause trouble, so we can only hide it from you."

Kong Haoyu also echoed: "Yes, we know that you are persistent in seeking the truth, but we are afraid that after you know it, you will not be able to control yourself and act in advance."

Shi Yunchen looked at the two brothers with mixed feelings in his heart, feeling touched but also somewhat resentful: "We are brothers, we share the same difficulties, please don't do this again in the future."

The three of them smiled at each other, and their previous doubts disappeared in an instant.

The suspicion caused by the surveillance video eventually ended with this truth, and the friendship between the three of them became more indestructible in this storm.

The next thing can be left to Du Fei. They just need to wait and see and wait for good news.
