Chapter 948 Whose money did they take?
The man's face turned pale; he felt extremely guilty after hearing Shen Boyan's words.
"You...you're not trying to provoke me! Do you really think I wouldn't dare call the police?"
Qiao Xing took out her phone and handed it to the man, saying, "Here, I'll lend you my phone. Go ahead and call."
"I..." The man swallowed hard, stared at his phone for a long time, and finally gave in.
"I'm just doing this for money, I have no other choice, please let me go..."
Shen Boyan asked, "Whose money did you take?"
"How would I know? People in our line of work usually stay anonymous. They call us, tell us the location and their name, and we come over. After it's all done, we just transfer the money directly. We've never even met them."
Qiao Xing looked at the camera hidden behind him and asked, "So how do you send him these photos?"
"It's an email, but the accounts are all anonymous, so I don't know the people's names."
Qiao Xing asked, "How long have you been secretly filming us?"
"This, I..." the man stammered, seemingly unwilling to speak.
Shen Boyan said directly, "Sheng Yao, call the police."
"Okay!"
Seeing that Shen Boyan was serious, the man completely backed down, "I'll talk! I'll talk! Please don't call the police! I don't want to go in!"
Sheng Yao said irritably, "Then hurry up and say it, stop talking nonsense!"
The man muttered reluctantly, "It hasn't been many days. We usually scout out the location first, and including the last time, we've only taken a few dozen photos in total."
Shen Boyan frowned and asked, "Was that the one you took when we were eating at the hotel?"
The man nodded.
"What about the hospital?"
"It was me too..."
Shen Boyan said, "Give me the camera."
The man was still hesitant, but seeing Shen Boyan's expression, he handed him the camera.
Shen Boyan took the camera and flipped through the photos one by one.
I didn't take many photos, but almost every one of them features Shen Boyan and Qiao Xing.
Moreover, the angles of each photo are remarkably similar. Due to the optical illusion, the two people in the photos are either hugging or embracing, or at the very least, very close together.
As Qiao Xing looked at the photos one by one, his anger immediately surged up.
"I've only met him a few times, and you guys managed to film this like this? You really will do anything for money."
The man chuckled wryly, "Sister, this is our livelihood. What can we do if we don't film?"
Sheng Yao reached out and slapped the man's hat. "You know that taking photos without permission is illegal! Why can't you do a proper job if you have hands and feet? Why do you have to do such petty things?"
In front of the man, Shen Boyan deleted all the photos.
He asked the man, "Do you have a backup?"
The man shook his head. "I've already been captured by you, how could I have time to make a backup!"
"real?"
"Really, really, everything I said is the truth. There are no other photos besides these."
Qiao Xing suddenly remembered a question, "What about the photos taken before?"
The man scratched his head. "The photos were all automatically deleted after we sent them to our supplier. That's standard practice in our industry. You know, the photos we take are quite sensitive. We do this so that if things get out of hand, we can distance ourselves from the situation."
After he finished speaking, he stared longingly at the camera in Shen Boyan's hand, "Brother, can I have this camera back? It's my livelihood, worth tens of thousands of yuan, I live off it..."
Sheng Yao patted the man's hat again, "You took pictures of others without permission, and we're already being kind by not smashing your camera. How dare you ask for it back?"
The man wanted to cry but had no tears.
He just wanted to make some money, what did he do to deserve this?
"Forget it, he's just a gofer. Even if we don't return the camera, we can't find those photos anyway."
Qiao Xing told Sheng Yao to let him go, and then took the camera from Shen Boyan and returned it to the man.
The man was immediately moved to tears by Qiao Xing's gratitude, "Thank you! You're such a kind person!"
Fearing the three might change their minds, the man grabbed the camera and ran away.
Sheng Yao said indignantly, "This person is despicable! In my opinion, he should be handed over to the police and made to pay the price for his actions!"
Qiao Xing said, "I have a way."
"What?" Sheng Yao said suspiciously, "He's already gone, it'll be hard to find him now."
Qiao Xing didn't say anything, but instead made a phone call.
"Are you occupied?"
Qin Ce on the other end of the phone said, "No rush, go ahead."
Qiao Xing told Qin Ce the whole story, "I feel like he's lying to us. He couldn't possibly not know who asked him to take the photos, so I was thinking, if we have someone follow him, maybe we can find out who it is?"
After listening, Qin Ce said, "No need to follow, I know who it is."
"Huh?" Qiao Xing was stunned. "You know?"
“Before you made this call to me, someone had already sent me photos of you and Shen Boyan.”
Qiao Xing was shocked. "What on earth is going on?"
"Someone is incredibly stupid and is about to suffer the consequences. You'll find out soon enough."
Qiao Xing seemed to have already guessed who Qin Ce was talking about. "Is it Qin Fei?"
Qin Ce did not deny it.
Why would she do that?
This kind of thing can be discovered if she's not careful, unless she's absolutely certain that no one will know she did it.
"Her goal is simple: she wants to use this as an excuse to drive both you and me out of the Qin family."
Qiao Xing was both amused and exasperated. "In this way?"
Qin Ce said in a half-joking tone, "I think she's at least 10% successful, because I was definitely jealous when I saw those photos."
Qiao Xing was speechless. What kind of time was this to still be in the mood for jokes?
"So what are you going to do?"
After Qin Ce finished speaking, Qiao Xing was a little surprised, "That's it?"
"What else did you think?"
She thought that since Qin Ce had decided to take action, he would definitely teach Qin Fei a harsh lesson.
After all, this wasn't the first or second time Qin Fei had been impolite to Qin Ce.
She was arrogant, spoiled, and willful, causing trouble in the Qin family. Not only did she disrespect Grandpa Qin, but she also said those nasty things to Qiao Xing.
Since Qin Ce was no longer willing to tolerate it, he certainly wouldn't let Qin Fei have an easy time.
However, what Qin Ce and Qiao Xing said made Qiao Xing feel that it was a little bit naive.
But on second thought, although Qin Fei had the temper of a rich girl, she hadn't done anything immoral.
It's not a bad idea to teach her a small lesson this way.
"Then I'll do as you say." Qiao Xing said, about to hang up the phone.
Qin Ce asked, "Have you finished talking with Sheng Yao? Shall I come pick you up?"
"Are you all right over there?"
"Um."
"That works too. We can go see Grandpa on the way. Today is his first day of treatment. Let's go ask the doctor how he is doing."
"good."
