Chapter 869 Asking for a Hammer and Getting it

They all thought that Huo Sijiao's fall into the water from the deck was an accident.

At that time, she didn't say anything.

The failure of surveillance on cruise ships is not a special problem, after all, it happens more often at the seaside. Falling into the water after drinking is a normal problem, but this Miss Huo is particularly unlucky.

But I didn't expect that he was pushed down by someone.

The nature is completely different.

Huo Sijiao repeated, "I was standing on the edge of the deck at the time, and my legs were numb from standing there. Suddenly, I was pushed from behind, and I lost control and fell into the sea. I didn't drink much, and it wasn't an accident at all, it was man-made."

At this point, there is nothing to hide.

She wanted to tear apart the surface of peace.

With so many people supporting her, why doesn't she seek justice for herself?

Zhao Yaru still wanted to save the situation, so she said, "Ms. Huo, do you have a confused memory? If it wasn't an accident, why didn't you explain the situation at that time, but only now?"

Anyway, there is no evidence, so it is useless for Huo Sijiao to say anything.

Zhao Yaru just refused to admit it.

"Ms. Huo, you said someone pushed you. Who did it?"

Zhao Yaru's questioning was very effective.

Why didn't you say it at first, but bring it up now? The guests thought it made sense, and even thought Huo Sijiao was being unreasonable.

Huo Sijiao asked back: "Shouldn't you ask Madam Pei this question? I had an accident on your cruise ship, and you said afterwards that the surveillance was broken. If those of us who come to the Pei family banquet cannot guarantee our own safety, then who will dare to come to the Pei family banquet in the future?"

Zhao Yaru smiled, thinking that Huo Sijiao was just making trouble.

Maybe she guessed that she was the one who did it, but she had no evidence, so she could only bark here unreasonably.

Nothing to be afraid of.

"Ms. Huo, our Pei family has already apologized to you and promised to strengthen the guardrails and security. This matter is indeed partly our responsibility, but you put the blame on our Pei family without any basis. I really have no way to defend myself."

"You have no excuse? That's what you said when you caught him cheating just now. Madam Pei, you should get rid of the slap marks on your face as soon as possible before you speak, otherwise it will look ridiculous."

Huo Sijiao has never lost an argument with anyone.

Qiao Xi was originally afraid that she couldn't handle it, but Huo Xingzhou held her back and prevented her from saying anything more.

Zhao Yaru was filled with grief and anger after being humiliated like this.

Mrs. Pei snorted coldly, pulled Zhao Yaru away and joined the battle.

She knew that her eldest daughter-in-law had no ability and couldn't even deal with a little girl.

Mrs. Pei spoke arrogantly: "Are all members of the Huo family so arrogant? When you got into trouble, our Pei family's bodyguards jumped into the water to save you. Instead of saying thank you, you want to hold our Pei family responsible?"

The conversation was finally brought up.

Huo Sijiao sneered, "Who said that the Pei family's bodyguards went into the water to save me! They only wanted to strip me naked and then pull me out of the water. Madam Pei, didn't you check whether I can swim before setting up this trap? I can get to shore without anyone saving me."

"What setup?"

"Are you still playing dumb? It was obviously you, the Pei family, who pushed me down!"

Huo Sijiao had prepared so much and wasted so much time talking just waiting for this moment.

The guests were somewhat incredulous.

Why would the Pei family do this?

But Huo Sijiao quickly answered their questions. "Mrs. Pei and Madam Pei competed with us for the dress in the studio the day before. Because of their stupidity, they wasted more than 8 million yuan and were very angry. So they wanted to find a chance to take revenge. They first took it out on my sister-in-law, but they ended up getting beaten. They could only start with me..."

"I had Xie family bodyguards with me, but before I got into trouble, they were deliberately lured away. Madam Pei, how do you explain this?"

Pei Zheng was not clear about this.

He had warned his mother and wife not to do anything out of line at the banquet. Now that Huo Sijiao had pointed it out, he was almost certain that they were the ones who did it.

But the Pei family could not admit it.

However, he caught a glimpse of the calm Zhong Yi and Huo Xingzhou, and had a feeling that they had a backup plan.

He was filled with resentment and regret.

This engagement party shouldn't have been held!

Mrs. Pei did not feel the coming of the storm. Her well-maintained face was still as arrogant and proud as ever.

"Ms. Huo, all you said are just guesses. You want to put the blame on our Pei family. Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, don't talk nonsense here. Do you really think that our Pei family is easy to bully? You..."

"She has no evidence."

Zhong Yi interrupted Mrs. Pei.

Mrs. Pei was stunned for a moment, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips, "You are so arrogant here without any evidence, it's really..."

"But I have evidence."

Zhong Yike doesn't have any good moral character of respecting the elderly and loving the young, so she interrupted whenever she wanted.

Mrs. Pei was at a loss of ideas. The surveillance on the cruise ship had already been dealt with. Where did Zhong Yi find the evidence? Was Zhao Yaru seen when she sent someone to do it?

Witness?

She denied the witness.

Mrs. Pei calmed down a lot when she thought of this.

"Since you have evidence, show it to me."

Zhong Yi's clear voice rang out: "If the Pei family admitted it now, we wouldn't have to make such a fuss. Are you sure you want me to get evidence?"

Mrs. Pei was even more certain that Zhong Yi was a fraud!

"We, the Pei family, have done things with a clear conscience. If you have the ability, please bring out the evidence."

What a clear conscience!

"Wan Jiang, turn on the surveillance footage on the deck and show everyone what the Pei family, who have a clear conscience, have done."

"Yes, Master."

Only then did everyone notice the laptop in Wan Jiang's hand. Some people remembered that he had been carrying this laptop with him since the beginning.

Wan Jiang retrieved the surveillance footage and said, "Ms. Huo accidentally fell into the water between 8:30 and 9:00 p.m."

Once the time was determined, it was easy to pull out the surveillance.

The screen faces the guests.

The surveillance footage was very clear, thanks to the bright lights on the cruise ship and the dock. The big lights made it as bright as day. In the surveillance footage, I don't know what Huo Sijiao was looking at, and she looked a little sneaky.

She then stood up and seemed to have numbness in her legs, and the guests saw a man push her hard from behind.

She fell into the water.

The man was wearing the uniform of the Pei family bodyguard.

"Did the Pei family really do this? Is there a personal grudge?"

"Don't talk about personal grudges. The Pei family and the Huo family have never been on good terms. Moreover, I also heard about the 8 million yuan incident. The Pei family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were played around. No wonder they hold a grudge."

Mrs. Pei's heart sank when she saw it.

The monitoring has been handled, so why is it still there?

Fortunately, the surveillance camera only captured the bodyguard and did not capture anyone else.

She said arrogantly: "Does anyone wearing the Pei family uniform count as a member of the Pei family? Who knows if you guys staged this and deliberately framed me!"

She has a point.

Seeing that she was determined not to give up, Zhong Yi said, "Don't worry, Madam Pei. I still have evidence."
