Chapter 723 Study Monitoring

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly froze, as if even the air had stopped flowing. The directors' voices murmured among themselves, their gazes toward Caesar filled with suspicion and disappointment.

Old Wilson looked hesitant, as if he was thinking about the director's suggestion.

Yan Huai stood up and said, "I will give a reasonable explanation about my trip to Country Z later, so please be patient. I just remembered that the confidential documents are not only in my safe and my office computer, but I also have a copy on my laptop. Moreover, I'm quite busy recently, so I will bring my laptop home to work overtime in the evening."

"You mean, someone in your family leaked the information? Chairman, what do you think?" A director laughed sarcastically.

"The chairman has more confidential documents, right? If someone in your family leaks the information, then all the chairman's documents will be leaked, right?" someone questioned.

"I think we should just hand it over to the police and not waste everyone's time."

“…”

Old Wilson's palm slammed heavily on the solid wood conference table, making a dull sound.

The discussion in the conference room quieted down.

"Caesar, do you have any suspicions?" he asked.

"Any servant who can enter my study is a suspect. I have installed surveillance cameras in the study. I just need to check the surveillance."

"Even if the servants find your computer, how would they know your password?" someone sneered.

"What's so strange about this? If what Caesar said is true, Bruce, you don't think that a servant would steal confidential documents for no reason, do you?" George glanced sideways.

There must be someone behind the servant, and the person behind the scenes will definitely tell him the password, no matter if he is a stalker or has been bribed.

As for who is behind the scenes and how he knows the password, that is another matter.

George felt that his guess was right.

There is a third party involved in this matter.

The director named Bruce fell silent.

Albert's eyes flashed with anxiety, and he rested his hands on the table. He said, "As far as I know, your study and that of your elder brother are guarded by bodyguards, and servants cannot enter and exit at will. This excuse is still too lame. Caesar, you should stop stalling for time..."

Yan Huai said calmly, "If no results are found, I am willing to resign from all positions immediately and cooperate with the police investigation."

This promise brought a moment of silence to the meeting room.

"Then let's check the surveillance." said Andre.

Albert wanted to say something else, but seeing that the other directors no longer objected, he had to endure it.

He looked at Noah silently, and his heart gradually calmed down.

It's okay, they have a second line of insurance.

Old Wilson looked at his son deeply, then turned to Allen and ordered, "Go get Caesar's notebook."

"yes."

Alan quickly brought Yan Huai's laptop and handed it to Yan Huai.

Yan Huai turned on the computer and operated it for a few times, and a page showing the study room surveillance video appeared on the screen.

Then, in order to avoid suspicion, he handed the computer to Allen to operate.

The directors who were nearby all leaned over to take a look.

George walked directly behind Yan Huai. A few curious directors were about to leave their seats when they saw the surveillance footage appear on the projection screen in the conference room.

Everyone looked at the curtain.

"The email was sent at 8:00 p.m. on the 28th. I'll adjust the time to 7:50 p.m. on the 28th." Allen said as he operated.

The image starts playing at double speed.

The study was empty, with only the desk lamp casting a warm glow.

The directors stared with bated breath, and time passed minute by minute. Until exactly eight o'clock, the picture remained still.

"ha!"

Albert uttered a short, cold laugh. "Caesar, this is the so-called 'evidence' you provided? Ten minutes of empty footage?"

His voice suddenly rose: "Are you playing us for fools?!"

Anger also appeared on the faces of several directors.

The irritable director slammed the table and stood up: "Enough! This farce needs to end!"

Yan Huai ignored it and continued looking at the screen.

"Wait, pause first."

Yan Huai suddenly said, pointing to a certain part of the screen, "I remember turning off the switch here when I left that evening."

Now, the surveillance video shows that the power strip has a small red light on.

Everyone looked at the screen, felt that things were taking a turn for the better, and became quiet again.

The irritable director sat down and decided to endure it a little longer.

"The email was sent on time," George said. "According to what you said, someone did come to your study and set the time in advance."

Old Wilson said, "Go get the technicians from the security department and have them operate it."

If you don't know the exact time, it would be a waste of time to watch the video bit by bit.

Security department technicians can locate the surveillance video.

Soon, the technical director came to the conference room. He was seen operating Yan Huai's computer and performing video positioning.

The surveillance footage on the screen was immediately divided into nine grids, and the still images in each grid showed that there were people in the study, some sitting in front of the computer, and some cleaning.

The figures in several grids are obviously Caesar himself, so we exclude them first.

The remaining few were dressed as servants.

Before Yan Huai could say anything, Old Wilson spoke up. He pointed at one of the lattice windows and said, "Is that Elsa? Isn't she from Ilia's side? Why is she in your study?"

Yan Huai said, "She really doesn't have permission to enter my study."

Hearing this, the technical director clicked on the box and moved the time forward ten minutes.

The surveillance video starts playing.

The conference room was completely silent, and everyone stared at the image on the projection screen with bated breath.

The time is 12:27 noon on the 28th.

In the picture, Elsa tiptoed open the study door, came in quickly, looked around furtively, and then immediately closed the door.

She first turned on the power strip in the corner, then tiptoed to Caesar's laptop, took out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket, and entered the password according to the instructions.

After unlocking the computer, Elsa held the mouse and clicked it here and there, as if looking for something in the computer.

After finding something, she started typing again, as if she was writing an email.

After completing the operation, Elsa carefully turned off the computer and restored the mouse position to its original state.

The projection image froze at the moment when Elsa hurriedly fled the study. The small red light on the power strip that was forgotten to be turned off was as glaring as a bloody eyeball.

"I knew Caesar was wronged!" said Andre.

The irritable director slammed the table and stood up, "Call the police immediately and arrest her! Don't let her get away! We must interrogate her and find out who ordered her to do this!"

"Elsa is just a pawn. We are trying to catch the big fish behind the scenes." Albert turned to old Wilson and said, "Chairman, I suggest we conduct an internal investigation first."

"Yes, we've been investigating for so long ourselves, we should just handle it internally and then turn it over to the police if we can't find anything."
