Chapter 43 She Found It
I turned on the speakerphone and the call was connected after just a few beeps.
Ni Hao's voice came from the receiver, with his unique gentleness and doting, "Yangyang, what's wrong so late? Did He Siyu bully you?"
Ni Yang had no time for jokes and went straight to the point. She was trying to log into her father's private network disk, a network disk system he designed for his own use.
The camera is bound to this network disk and the recorded video will be transferred to it.
Her parents had an accident about a month after the camera was installed, and she didn't know whether her father had seen the video.
This system shuts down connected cameras if you don't log in regularly.
It had been so long that she didn't know if she could find the login link to the network disk.
She remembered that her father also set up an online disk for her, just for storing photos and videos.
It has not been maintained for many years and is no longer usable.
Now she only hopes that the online disk does not have a timed deletion function, as it contains the photos of her father that she has saved on the online disk.
It was written to her by her father himself.
"Uncle, it was the Gu family who stole my mother's design draft and spread rumors that she plagiarized, causing Camille's stock market to plummet. That's why my parents are so anxious to go back, right?"
Ni Hao was silent for a second. "How did Yangyang know? I deleted all the news about this incident on the Internet. How did you know? Who told you what?"
Ni Yang was flipping through the daily photos she had taken on her cloud disk, all of which she had taken secretly with her mobile phone twelve years ago.
All she saw were the figures of her parents. As she looked, her eyes became red again.
She hadn't seen a photo from such a weird angle for a long time.
The photos are still there, which means that the photos linked to my father’s online disk are also there.
"Gu Jinting came to Jing City to meet me. He told me that you didn't let him come to see me, saying that his presence would only cause me pain. I'm not the kind of person who would bring my suffering to others, and my uncle knows that, so this was a warning to him not to try to hurt me."
"If his family hadn't done anything, there's no need for my uncle to say that. I was just guessing at first, but then I went online and saw the clothes my mother designed on the Gu family company's website. I was certain it was his family that stole my mother's things and turned the tables on me."
"Uncle, wait a moment, I will find evidence."
Ni Hao's tone instantly became excited, "Yangyang, are you saying that you have evidence to prove that the Gu family plagiarized?"
Ni Yang found the photo she needed, and her misty eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes!"
"Great, great, that's great! I tried to find the manuscript in my brother and sister-in-law's studio, but I couldn't find it. I almost peeled off the wallpaper from the floor, but I guess the thief destroyed all the evidence against her."
Ni Hao became more and more angry as he spoke. He had been looking for evidence for so many years and had never given up, but the thief had gained a high position in the fashion industry because of it. Those were his sister-in-law's things.
He had seen the design drafts of that series. When it was about to be announced, he saw it with his own eyes in Ni Yang's mother's studio.
I only regret that I didn't leave any evidence at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have been in such a passive position.
He took great pains to keep Camille stable, but his position in Paris was no longer as strong as before.
Ni Yang entered the URL into the browser, and the interface that popped up required a password.
Fortunately, Ni Yang happened to know the password.
Her heart beat faster and faster as she entered the password letter by letter.
My hands were shaking as I pressed the Enter key, and the interface jumped into the network disk.
She said happily: "Uncle, I will copy all the surveillance videos and send them to you now, and we will look for it together."
Ni Hao: "Okay, okay."
Ni Yang copied all the videos of his parents' accidents into a USB drive, then transferred them to the network drive he was currently using, and then transferred them to Ni Hao.
She didn't want to waste even a second, so she connected the computer's charging cable, washed her face, tied her hair up, and curled up on the sofa, holding the computer and watching the surveillance footage carefully bit by bit.
The father and mother in the surveillance video are both vivid. Although I can’t hear what they are saying clearly, their expressions are very happy.
Ni Yang watched every frame greedily and seriously.
This lasted all night, from the lights out to dawn, her eyes were red, dry and sore, and her neck and shoulders could hardly lift up.
She found it.
It was that day that her mother invited Aunt Léa to her house for a dinner party, and she accidentally let Aunt Léa see her design line drawing.
When my mother was out, Aunt Léa took pictures of her mother's line drawings one by one with her mobile phone.
When they returned home, they pried open her door and destroyed all potentially useful evidence.
But they didn't expect that their father had installed a pinhole camera since his house was robbed.
Only three people knew about this, and she was the only one alive.
She edited the videos from the two time points together and sent it to Ni Hao.
[Uncle, please help me post it to the Internet and use Camille's official account.]
【Take back my mother’s hard work.】
Ni Hao and Ling Xi also stayed up all night with Ni Yang.
[Leave the rest to me, Yangyang. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.]
A sixty-second voice message was sent immediately afterwards.
"Yangyang, your aunt and I are so sorry for hiding the truth from you for twelve years. We didn't want to offend ourselves. Now think about it, if we had told you clearly from the beginning, your mother wouldn't have been accused of plagiarism for so many years."
"The culprit wouldn't have received so many honors that didn't belong to her. We made the choice for you. Yangyang, don't blame yourself. This is my and Ah Xi's fault."
"After uncle has resolved the matter, can Yangyang give uncle and aunt a chance to make amends?"
Ni Yang didn't have the strength to cry anymore. She listened to the voice message quietly and cleared her throat to make her voice sound less hoarse and unpleasant.
Press the Voice button.
"Uncle and aunt, I don't blame you, nor do I have the right to blame you. You've been so kind to me over the years, treating me like your own child. I'm the beneficiary, so I have no right to blame you. To put it another way, if I were you, I would make the same choice as you."
"We didn't communicate with each other. You didn't know there were cameras installed in our house, nor did you know I could check the surveillance footage. Maybe this was God's will, or maybe my parents were leaving the truth for me to reveal."
"Uncle and aunt, our loved ones have passed away, and they want us to move on."
"When this is over, uncle and aunt, bring Xiaoye to Yutang for a meal. Siyu and I haven't invited you to our house for a meal yet."
She sent several voice messages in a row, comforting her uncle and aunt while also speaking to herself.
Ni Haolingxi at Yinshuang Manor heard Ni Yang's voice. The girl who was brought up by them with great pampering now had a hoarse and low voice, but she still had to comfort them with a smile.
My throat felt like it was clogged with cotton, and my heart felt heavy as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing on it.
Ni Hao, who is nearly fifty years old and is very decisive in the outside world, now has bloodshot eyes. He holds his crying wife in his arms, and her sobs surround his ears.
After receiving a call from Ni Yang in the evening and knowing that she might have the truth about the plagiarism incident, he was overwhelmed with emotions.
The evidence he had been looking for for more than ten years turned out to be right beside him all along. Ni Yang, who had been kept in the dark by him and Ling Xi, was the key to ending this storm.
If only, if only, I had told her the truth back then, how great it would have been.
Just as Ni Yang said, they don’t exchange information with each other, and this is often the beginning of regrets.
Ni Yang got up from the sofa, everything in front of her eyes was dark, her body swayed a few times, her face was pale, and she saw He Si trying to open the door and striding towards her.
