Chapter 299: The Truth Revealed!
Has the surveillance been restored?
Upon hearing this, Shi Mubai was extremely excited.
He quickly looked at Qi Chengze and asked, "Really?"
"Yes." Qi Chengze nodded.
After saying that, Qi Chengze showed his phone to Shi Mubai, "This is a message J sent me."
J's reply was simple.
Just a few words.
Surveillance has been restored.
Upon seeing J's reply, Shi Mubai became even more agitated. "Quick, quick, turn on the surveillance footage! I want to see how Liu Yuanzhi can still extort me with irrefutable evidence right here!"
With evidence, not only could Liu Yuanzhi be imprisoned for life, but CL Jewelry's predicament could also be resolved, and Tang An's innocence could be cleared.
Qi Chengze immediately logged into his account.
After logging in, the monitoring screen is no longer completely black, but displays real-time dynamics.
Qi Chengze laughed and said, "As expected, a big shot is a big shot!"
It's worth noting that J's initial response to him was at least three days, and at most a week.
But only two days later, J had already restored the monitoring!
This is enough to show J's terrifying strength!
Qi Chengze quickly clicked to play the replay video.
Since he didn't know exactly when the item was stolen, Qi Chengze could only start watching from the moment the design was completed and then fast forward.
Even though it was fast-forwarded, it was still a bit slow for Shi Mubai.
He couldn't wait to clear Tang An's name.
"Can you go faster?"
“This is already the fastest!” Qi Chengze continued, “Let’s go back first, and take our time to see what happens.”
It's not a good idea to just stand by the roadside and watch now.
Shi Mubai nodded, "Then you drive, I'll continue watching."
"I'll call a designated driver, and we can watch it together."
"That's okay too."
The designated driver arrived quickly.
Shi Mubai and Qi Chengze sat in the back row and continued watching the surveillance footage.
The hospital is not far from Shi Mubai's villa.
It only takes twenty minutes to get there.
The surveillance footage then showed Tang An delivering soup to Shi Mubai.
Looking at Tang An on the surveillance video, Shi Mubai said smugly, "See? How much my sister cares about me! Would your sister come upstairs to bring you soup in the middle of the night?"
In Shi Mubai's view, Qi Chengze was just jealous of him.
She was jealous that he had a nice younger sister.
Because Qi Chengze's sister only knows how to take and not how to be grateful.
Because of jealousy, they slandered him.
Gee tut.
I never expected Shi Mubai to be this kind of person.
Qi Chengze glanced at Shi Mubai and said, "My sister is a pragmatic person and never does superficial things."
Shi Mubai rolled his eyes.
Judging from Qi Chengze's expression, he was clearly losing face.
Shi Mubai wanted to say something more, but he was about to enter the house, and it wouldn't be good if Tang An heard them talking about him, so Shi Mubai didn't say anything more.
really.
As soon as I pushed open the door to the villa, I saw Tang An sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Qi Chengze immediately recognized that Tang An was wearing the latest luxury brand clothing.
A minimum of six figures.
"Brother Mubai, Brother Chengze, you're back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang An's expression changed, and he asked nervously, "Brother Mu Bai, what happened to your face? Who hit you!"
Although Shi Mubai's injuries had been treated at the hospital, he still looked very disheveled.
His forehead was wrapped in gauze.
His nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
Shi Mubai smiled and said, "It's alright, An'an, you don't need to worry."
Although Shi Mubai said he was fine, Tang An's eyes quickly reddened. "Brother Mubai, are you really alright?"
"It's really okay."
Tang An continued, "Shall I go with you to the hospital to get it checked out?"
“No need,” Shi Mubai shook his head. “I’ve already been to the hospital! It’s just some minor injuries, An’an, you really don’t need to worry.”
After saying that, Mu Bai continued, "Chengze and I are going upstairs to the study to take care of something. You can continue watching TV."
"Okay." Tang An nodded first, then asked with some concern, "Brother Mu Bai, are you sure you don't need me to go to the hospital with you?"
"Need not."
Shi Mubai and Qi Chengze quickly entered the study.
Qi Chengze then locked the study door from the inside.
Shi Mubai smiled and said, "See? My sister cares about me so much! Does your sister care about you this much?"
Qi Chengze was speechless, but he didn't refute Shi Mubai. He simply said, "Let's continue watching the surveillance footage!"
Facts speak louder than words.
We'll see the truth soon enough!
Time passed by minute by minute.
Before we knew it, it was around midnight.
But there was still no movement in the study.
Shi Mubai couldn't help but say, "Chengze, Aunt Liu has already left work at this time! Why don't you just adjust the time to Aunt Liu's working hours?"
I really don't understand why Qi Chengze keeps targeting Tang An.
How could Tang An possibly betray him?
Simply ridiculous!
If Qi Chengze had started the surveillance footage during Aunt Liu's working hours from the beginning, he might have found evidence much earlier!
But Qi Chengze insisted on wasting his time here.
"Don't rush," Qi Chengze narrowed his eyes, "The surveillance has been restored now, so we don't mind taking a little more time."
"But An'an couldn't possibly be that thief!"
Almost as soon as Shi Mubai finished speaking, the surveillance camera clearly captured the study doorknob turning slightly.
Squeak.
In the quiet night, it sounded particularly jarring.
"They're here!" Qi Chengze immediately perked up.
Shi Mubai also became nervous at that moment.
Aunt Liu has already finished get off work at this time!
Who could be coming?
Is it really Tang An?
Do not!
impossible!
It's definitely not Tang An!
Maybe it's another thief.
Shi Mubai swallowed hard.
next second.
The door was pushed open completely from the outside.
Tang An's figure came into view.
Snap--
Tang An turned on the light.
The black and white view inside the room suddenly became colorful.
Shi Mubai's face was slowly turning pale, but he still didn't believe that Tang An was the one who stole the design draft.
"An, An'an must have come to help me clean my study! Definitely!"
He usually doesn't allow Aunt Liu to come to the study to clean, so Tang An must have seen how hard he was working, which is why she came upstairs to clean for him in the middle of the night.
Shi Mubai comforted himself in his heart.
Qi Chengze's expression was also cold. "Cleaning? Mu Bai, stop comforting yourself. Can't you clean during the day? Why did you have to choose the middle of the night! And the timing is exactly when you just finished the design draft!"
Shi Mubai has oversimplified this matter!
Fortunately, there were surveillance cameras present.
otherwise.
Without solid evidence, Shi Mubai would never believe that Tang An would betray him.
Before Shi Mubai could finish speaking in defense of Tang An, Tang An sat down in front of his computer and pressed the power button.
Perhaps because he saw that the computer had a password, Tang An was stunned for a moment, and then entered a string of numbers.
Snapped!
next second.
The computer password was successfully cracked.
Tang An skillfully opened the app, inserted the USB drive, and saved the pictures. The whole process was completed smoothly and without any sign of nervousness.
There are no blind spots in the surveillance.
By turning the camera around, you can clearly see that Tang An has saved the design drawings on the computer to the USB drive.
After saving the original design draft, Tang An unplugged the USB drive and went downstairs.
Qi Chengze looked at this scene with a face full of anger. Although he had already prepared himself for Tang An to steal the design drawings, he was still furious when he saw it with his own eyes!
Qi Chengze turned to look at Shi Mubai beside him, "See that! This is the good sister you've always trusted!"
Shi Mubai was on the verge of a breakdown, his whole body trembling.
why!
Why was Tang An the one who stole the design drafts?
Shi Mubai could hardly believe his eyes.
boom!
Shi Mubai slammed his fist on the table.
Because he used all his strength, bright red blood immediately seeped from his fist.
pain!
It's a sharp pain!
But Shi Mubai could no longer feel the pain.
Because the chill in my heart has become greater than the physical pain!
Shi Mubai burst into tears instantly.
Almost can't breathe!
Shi Mubai could no longer control his emotions. He jumped up from his desk and went downstairs.
Qi Chengze followed in Shi Mubai's footsteps.
Inside the living room on the first floor.
Tang An remained seated on the sofa watching television.
Hearing footsteps on the stairs, Tang An turned to look at Shi Mubai, "Brother Mubai, where are you going in such a hurry!"
Shi Mubai didn't say anything, but silently walked up to Tang An, grabbed Tang An's collar, and lifted Tang An off the sofa. His eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.
Tang An was terrified; she had never seen Shi Mubai like this before.
terrible.
terrible!
At this moment, Tang An's voice trembled, "Brother Mu, Mu Bai, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me? How dare you ask me what's wrong!" Shi Mubai roared angrily, "Why! Tang An! Why! Why did you betray me?"
Shi Mubai trusted Tang An so much.
Even though everyone says Tang An is not a good person.
But he still stood firmly behind Tang An.
They shielded Tang An from all the rumors and gossip.
But what about Tang An?
Is this how Tang An repaid him?
God knows how heartbroken Shi Mubai was!
anger!
Guilt!
A mix of complex emotions nearly overwhelmed Shi Mubai.
Shi Mubai felt so distressed that he trembled all over whenever he thought about how he had caused the death of the innocent Aunt Liu in order to protect that bitch Tang An.
sorry!
sorry!
He's sorry to Aunt Liu!
He is a sinner!
Upon hearing Shi Mubai's question, Tang An was stunned, and her face turned deathly pale in an instant.
What do you mean?
What did Shi Mubai mean by saying that?
Did he discover something?
Do not!
Will not.
The surveillance camera in the study is broken. What can Shi Mubai find out?
And there's Liu Ying, that scapegoat, in the picture.
What is she afraid of?
Tang An tried to calm himself down and looked at Shi Mubai, saying, "Betrayal? What betrayal? Brother Mubai, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Don't understand?" Shi Mubai looked at Tang An and suddenly laughed. "When you were stealing my design drafts, weren't you doing it quite easily? How come you don't remember now?"
Stealing design drafts?
Tang An's eyes widened, and tears instantly streamed down her face. "It wasn't me! I didn't steal the design! Brother Mu Bai, you've wronged me!"
"Tang An, stop making excuses! Who else could it be but you?" Shi Mubai grabbed Tang An by the collar and slammed him to the ground.
Tang An felt intense pain spreading throughout his body.
She even felt like her bones were about to break!
But Tang An couldn't care less about the pain at this moment. She looked up at Shi Mubai, her face streaked with tears, "Brother Mubai! What happened? The person who stole the design draft was clearly Aunt Liu, it has nothing to do with me."
Aunt Liu is now dead, and there's no way to verify the facts!
In Tang An's view, she was the perfect scapegoat!
Aunt Liu?
Hearing this, Shi Mubai became even angrier and stomped on Tang An's body: "Aunt Liu! How dare you mention Aunt Liu! It's all your fault, you killed Aunt Liu! If it weren't for you, would Aunt Liu have jumped off the building?"
