After hearing my words, Qin Yao was not angry at all. Instead, she grabbed my arm and said, "I've already been dragged into this by you. There's no use going back on my word now. You might as well think about how to protect me. If I stand with you, the people behind the scenes will have a harder time targeting me."

Qin Yao's words touched me somewhat. Whether in my past life or this one, she is a good friend I've made again. In the past, although I was surrounded by many people, none of them were truly sincere to me.

Later, I married Fu Xinyi. Fu Xinyi tried everything to gradually distance me from my social circle. In the end, I had no close friends and was out of touch with society. Even if I died in a rented room, no one would know.

Just as I was about to say something, Ge Zeyu suddenly received a phone call. I don't know what the person on the other end said, but he frowned and said, "I know about this, Mom. You don't need to worry too much. Maybe Dad did this on purpose!"

After he hung up the phone, I asked, "Did something happen at home?"

“My dad suddenly fell ill, and it’s quite serious. He’s currently hospitalized, and my mom asked me to go home and pack some things to take over.” Ge Zeyu’s brows furrowed more and more. Although he didn’t say much, I realized that something was wrong. How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly fall ill?

Moreover, since it happened when the inspection team arrived, Uncle Ge's actions seemed more like a delaying tactic or an attempt to evade certain issues.

Ge Zeyu had his hands in his pockets and leaned against the wall, giving off a lazy vibe, but his face seemed somewhat unapproachable.

“I suddenly thought of something important. Bian Jiahui and Fu Xinyi made their move at school. There are surveillance cameras all over the school. If we can find the footage from that day, it might be able to serve as evidence.”

Of course I thought of that too, but Fu Xinyi and Bian Jiahui are so cautious, they must also know that the school's surveillance cameras need to be removed.

"But no matter what, we decided to give it a try. If we can find the surveillance footage, it can be used as evidence to prosecute Fu Xinyi and Bian Jiahui."

After we arrived at the school, we found the homeroom teacher and asked to check the school's surveillance footage. The teacher told us that we needed to consult the principal.

Ge Zeyu had some influence with the principal, so upon hearing this, he immediately took out his phone and dialed a number. After the call was connected, he exchanged a few polite words and then directly stated that he wanted to see the school's surveillance footage.

The principal agreed almost without hesitation. However, when we arrived at the monitoring room, we learned that the surveillance footage from that day had been locked and could not be repaired. We couldn't see what was actually captured that day.

Ge Zeyu didn't say anything more, but simply reached out and took the USB drive. "I happen to know some people who are knowledgeable in this area. I can ask them to help us recover the surveillance footage from that day."

Ge Zeyu quickly came up with a solution, and just as he was about to take the USB drive away, the principal walked in with a smile. However, after entering, he did not come to the two of us immediately, but instead turned around and gestured to the people outside the door.

The principal's face was full of flattery, and his words were very respectful. "Mr. Chang, I really don't want you to come personally for such a small matter. Next time something like this happens, you can just tell me."

Upon hearing this address, my heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition began to grow within me. Then I saw Chang Xin walk in from outside the door.

What a small world! I never expected to run into him in a place like this. We came here for surveillance, could he be here for the same reason?

"Mr. Chang, what a coincidence, we meet again!" I greeted him first, then gripped the USB drive tightly in my hand. "Mr. Chang, if there's nothing else, we'll be going now."

As I was saying this, I grabbed Ge Zeyu and hurriedly tried to leave this place, because every second we stayed was a minute more dangerous. But Chang Xin specifically called us back.

Although his face was full of smiles, the smiles didn't reach his eyes. When he looked at me and Ge Zeyu, there was more hostility in his eyes. "What are you two doing in the school's surveillance room? Could it be that you're here for the surveillance footage from that day?"

When he spoke, I always felt there was a hint of probing in his tone, but I had no proof to prove it.

Chang Xin extended his hand to me and Ge Zeyu, "There's something I forgot to tell you two. Your father has been sick recently, so I'm handling all the affairs."

I couldn't help but frown. Chang Xin's words were clearly loaded with meaning; she was deliberately trying to provoke Ge Zeyu.

Ge Zeyu's expression did indeed turn somewhat unpleasant, but he didn't react immediately. Instead, he calmly said, "We did take the USB drive, but since all the surveillance footage from that day has been corrupted, I'm planning to ask a friend I know to try and recover the damaged footage."

Chang Xin did not withdraw his hand. After listening to Ge Zeyu's words, he said righteously, "Your father is sick, so I have to take care of you like a son. Since you dared to do this, why don't you hand over the USB drive to me? I will find a professional to recover it. Don't worry, once I know what happened that day, I will tell you everything without missing a word."

They're too late, so they're planning to rob us outright?

After witnessing this scene, the people around dared not speak, but they would occasionally exchange glances. Chang Xin saw that the two of us had remained unmoved for so long, and the smile on his face deepened.

“Your father is sick, and I’m in charge now. If I want your father to be more comfortable in the hospital, you should be a smart person.”

When bribery fails, danger strikes. He wants to get rid of his uncle so he can become king. What a cunning monkey!

However, on second thought, I immediately handed the USB drive to him and said, "This is what you wanted. Don't tell me you found it for us. You came all the way to the monitoring room to ask for this video, so it must be useful to you too."

Chang Xin came here specifically to clean up the mess. Several days have passed, and only now has she remembered that Fu Xinyi wasn't as cautious as I thought.
