"I can handle it."
Jiang Lai, on the other hand, tried to comfort Jiang Yunshu, "I'm really sorry. Please don't tell Ruan Ruan. I beg you, Aunt Shu."
"OK."
Since the child didn't want to interfere, Jiang Yunshu didn't care. "You're busy."
Jiang Lai walked to Chi Zhan's side and heard the lobby manager say, "Boss Chi, my boss will take some time to get here. I'll take you upstairs to the lounge for some tea and snacks. Wait."
Chi Zhan waved his hand, "Hurry him up."
The lobby manager didn't dare to offend him, and made another phone call in front of Chi Zhan.
Jiang Lai whispered to Chi Zhan: "Should we check the surveillance first?"
Chi Zhan: "Some permissions are only granted by the boss."
Jiang Lai was stunned.
Anyone can watch the surveillance video, so I'm afraid I can't see anything.
It depends on whether it is backed up to the cloud or hidden permissions.
Ji Jiamu watched from behind them.
It's a bit confusing, how can these two people still fight side by side.
Besides, apart from the initial confusion, they were not panicked at all.
They were so calm that he felt that these two were not normal people.
It was a tacit understanding that made him waver in his heart.
At this time, Luo Nanqing came over.
"A Zhan..."
Chi Zhan glanced sideways, "What are you doing out here?"
Luo Nanqing was twisting her hands, and her long hair covered her pale little face because she lowered her head slightly.
She was wearing a white dress, and her weak look could really arouse a man's desire to protect her.
"I wanted to see if anyone needed help."
"I was also frightened just now and reacted a little slowly. Now that I think about it, there is still something wrong."
Jiang Lai pursed her lips and thought to herself: Aren’t you tired of pretending like this?
There was no emotion on Chi Zhanjun's face, and his voice was as calm as usual, "That's not right."
Unless he was under a spell, he was just looking for someone to replace Jiang Lai or to vent his anger on.
They would never attack Luo Nanqing.
He felt guilty for having done something like that at such a young age, and he would never allow himself to make such a mistake again.
Touching her is more troublesome than touching a woman in a pleasure quarter.
"Mr. Chi."
The hotel owner came running over, sweating profusely.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Chi Zhan didn't exchange pleasantries. He glanced at the hands he offered, didn't shake them, and said directly: "Go to the monitoring room."
The group arrived at the monitoring room.
Chi Zhan asked the hotel owner to check the surveillance footage from around 11 o'clock last night.
The staff in the monitoring room replied: "No more."
The hotel owner panicked, "How come it's gone? Doesn't this surveillance footage last for 30 days? And it's connected to my computer, so it's automatically backed up."
The employee glanced at Chi Zhan and others, then leaned close to the boss's ear and tried to whisper something.
The hotel owner panicked even more. He pushed him away and raised his voice, "Just say it!"
Since the boss wasn't trying to hide it, he spoke directly, "The coal boss, a regular client of our hotel who always brings different women with him, for some reason yesterday his wife suddenly showed up. To hide their affair, he smashed all his hard drives and threw them in water. They're completely unusable. Not only yesterday's footage, but also the footage from the previous month is gone."
The hotel owner was sweating profusely. He couldn't afford to offend the bigwigs in Jingcheng with his small business.
"No, Mr. Chi, don't get angry, I have a backup."
"Boss, to ensure safety and prevent leaking of guest information, this surveillance camera has an automatic destruction protection program set up. If the hard drive is damaged, all data in the cloud will be deleted."
"And it is permanently deleted and cannot be restored."
“…”
This is too much.
Jiang Lai and Chi Zhan exchanged a glance, and Chi Zhan asked, "What if even a powerful hacker can't recover it?"
The employees in the monitoring room were not aware of Chi Zhan's identity. They just saw their boss nodding and bowing, and guessed that he must be a more powerful person.
He didn't dare to offend anyone, so he said truthfully, "Even the person who designed this monitoring program can't restore it."
"It's not like you can just delete a file and have a skilled programmer or hacker come along and recover it."
"This is a self-rescue program, or in fact, a self-destruct program. The data that has been erased cannot be retrieved."
After hearing this, Chi Zhan's eyes flashed with coldness. He asked, "Where is the hard drive?"
The employee gave the hard drive that was fished out of the water to Chi Zhan.
Chi Zhan took it and looked at the hotel owner, "Give me your computer, your account cloud, etc."
"Zhengtu, I have a friend who does surveillance and can install a new one for you."
The hotel owner didn't dare to refute. He took Chi Zhan out of the office, took the computer, checked Chi Zhan's WeChat, and sent all the messages that could be sent to him, including his account number.
I dare not hold back at all.
Chi Zhan arranged for someone to recover the data, and then took Jiang Lai out for dinner.
"A Zhan..." Luo Nanqing followed, "I haven't eaten yet, can we join?"
"Whatever you want to eat, I'll ask someone to buy it for you."
Hearing Chi Zhan's refusal, Luo Nanqing sniffed, "Ah Zhan, you can doubt me and alienate me, but I have to say that there is no need for me to do so. If I could do so, I would have done it a few years ago. Godmother likes me, but your grandfather thinks that I come from a humble background. It's not that I can't give it a try."
"Your Chi family also needs face. If I can get pregnant with your child, I can become the young lady of the Chi family, and the future head lady."
"But Zhan, I didn't do that. I even thought about not putting you in a difficult position. I went abroad and didn't say a word when I was bullied... Because of this, I couldn't fulfill my filial duty to my grandfather."
"Because of this, your grandfather is no longer so wary of me. I can call myself the young lady of the Chi family, and my career and life are all taken care of. Why should I still jump on the bottom line of everyone in your family?"
"If I do this, what else can I gain except making you hate me and letting the Chi family send me away again?"
"I don't think I'm that stupid."
These words moved even Jiang Lai, an outsider.
But Jiang Lai has seen another side of Luo Nanqing.
I really can't muster any kindness at all.
She was already very hungry, and now she had experienced such a terrible thing.
I really don't have the mood to watch Luo Nanqing acting here.
"No one suspects you, yet you rush to explain yourself. Isn't this just trying to cover up the truth?"
Luo Nanqing bit her lip and suppressed the hatred towards Jiang Lai in her eyes.
It turned out that she could take her time and do it relying on Chi Zhan's guilt towards him.
It was because Jiang Lai intervened that she had to take a risky move.
It worked, and she gave Jiang Lai a way out.
If that fails, Jiang Lai will have to be buried with her.
With the same background, Jiang Lai can't get what she can't get either.
"Well, since there's no surveillance and we can't find any clues, I admit it if you suspect me."
"It's not like I can't prove my innocence by dying."
As he spoke, he pulled out a dagger from somewhere and slashed his wrist.
——Committed suicide by cutting his wrists in public.
Quite niche.
“…”
Jiang Lai looked at this scene and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"What's going on here?"
At this moment, a low, casual male voice sounded.
"Is this a big show they prepared before they knew we were here?"
Jiang Lai was quite surprised when he saw Ruan Nanzhi.
"Why are you here?"
Ruan Nanzhi poked her forehead and said, "You're so mad at me, yet you still want to hide it from me."
Jiang Lai felt that Jiang Yunshu was not someone who did not keep his word. "How did you know?"
Ruan Nanzhi pointed at Xia Zhoufang.
Everything is implied.
Jiang Lai smiled and held Ruan Nanzhi's hand. "We are not children. Chi Zhan and I can handle it. You guys can have fun."
