The matter concerning his grandfather is shrouded in mystery. Ji Zhinan has always known that there are security cameras in the Ji residence and plans to start by checking the surveillance footage.
Gu Yibei opened the first video.
Everything in the video appears normal. The maids working at the Ji residence are busy as usual, some cleaning and others tidying up, without a doubt.
The progress bar quickly reached the end, and then the screen suddenly went black.
After that, the surveillance footage stopped.
The surveillance footage only goes this far.
Gu Yibei then opened the second surveillance video. Everything in this video was from the day the old man had the accident, but the angle was different because the surveillance camera was located in a different position.
I watched several different perspectives in a row, and each time the screen went black at the same time.
After watching the entire video, I pieced together some information. Before the surveillance screen went black, Ji Zhixia returned to the Ji residence. Because of the distance, I couldn't see the details clearly, but I could see her lips moving.
It's unclear what she said to the maids, but the maids were both surprised and grateful. In the end, they went back to their room, changed into their everyday clothes, and then picked up their bags to leave.
Gu Yibei pressed the space bar, pausing the video that was playing, and the screen froze on the faces of several maids.
What Ji Zhixia said back then, only heaven and earth know, Ji Zhixia knows, and... only they know.

7 PM —
Since the onset of winter, the temperature in Beijing has dropped sharply at night.
A simple, middle-aged woman wrapped in a cotton-padded coat walked along the road, carrying a bag and hunching her shoulders.
She turned into an ordinary residential complex, and then turned into the middle of one of the buildings.
She went straight up to the fourth floor and stopped in front of the door on the left. The woman took out her key, opened the door, and found that the light in the entryway was still on.
She bent down to change her shoes, and when she opened the cabinet, she found a pair of high heels that had inexplicably appeared inside.
She had worked as a maid in a wealthy family and had seen a lot of the world, so she could tell at a glance that these shoes were definitely not cheap.
Is someone coming?
The woman changed her shoes and was about to enter the living room when she heard her son's happy voice.
"Sister, this toy dog is so much fun! It can even do somersaults!"
Then a gentle female voice came out: "Do you like it?"
"I love it! I love it so much! Thank you, sister!"
"You're welcome."
The girl was wearing a white trench coat, her hair was styled in a bun with a few wisps of hair left on either side, and she was wearing cheap slippers that cost only a dozen yuan a pair.
Her outfit today was exceptionally simple, giving off a friendly and gentle impression.
Nevertheless, it did not obscure the girl's nobility and elegance.
Her temperament seemed to be innate.
The woman was dumbfounded.
A sound came from the kitchen, and a middle-aged man came out carrying a fruit platter and tea, smiling broadly.
"We don't have anything fancy at home. The tea is Tieguanyin, and the fruit was just bought today. Please don't be put off!"
The girl nodded politely: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." The middle-aged man smiled憨厚ly, only then noticing the middle-aged woman.
"When did you get back? I didn't hear the door open."
The middle-aged man quickly stepped forward and whispered in the woman's ear, "Who is this young lady? She said she knows you, and she brought a lot of gifts. I just looked it up on my phone, and that mechanical dog our son plays with costs tens of thousands!"
"..."
The middle-aged woman swallowed hard, her words faltering slightly: "Second...Second Miss..."
Ji Zhinan turned his head and smiled, "Aunt Zhang, it's been a long time."
