"Fine, you've got guts. What I'm looking for is Master Qu's son and the musical score!"
“I’m going to find Mr. Qu right now and have him call you personally! Let’s see if you’ll still be so tough then.”
Zhang Xinlei lost patience with the person's harassment and pretended to be angry as she walked out. At the door, she turned back and said something.
"Wait, Assistant Zhang, I was being rude. Please have a seat. There's no need to look for Old Master Qu; he's very busy. I'll find him for you right now."
When the person checking the surveillance footage heard that they were looking for the sheet music, they realized that they had seen the sheet music before. Everyone in the company knew that he was the son of Master Qu. Only when the sheet music was mentioned did they remember seeing Zhang Xinlei with him before.
Only then did he realize the gravity of the situation. If this got back to Old Master Qu, he would be in deep trouble. So he could only stop Zhang Xinlei with a smile and speak to her in a gentle and kind tone.
"Okay, get it transferred to me quickly. I won't bother going to see Elder Qu again."
The person who was checking the surveillance footage had lost his earlier arrogance and was now sitting down in a chair, speaking to him.
"Okay, please wait a moment. By the way, in order to find it faster, we need to know which specific time period of surveillance footage you want to check. If we check the entire footage, it could take several hours."
The person investigating the surveillance footage was helpless against Zhang Xinlei's attitude. These people who followed Old Master Qu were not people that he, as a single person, could afford to offend. But then he thought that he couldn't investigate everyone. If he did, he would have to go back to that year. He looked at the surveillance camera and asked Zhang Xinlei.
"Twenty minutes before I left work, from there until now!"
Sitting next to her, Zhang Xinlei also felt that what the other person said made sense. Then she thought about what Qu Pu had said before, that Bai Zong invited him to dinner after get off work, so he must have slipped away after get off work. She knocked on the door ten minutes in advance, so he must have been going further ahead. She came up with a time and said to the person checking the surveillance footage.
"Alright, now that you have the time, please go ahead!"
The person who accessed the surveillance footage skillfully manipulated the computer; now that they knew the time, everything was easy to handle.
It didn't take long for the security camera footage at the entrance to be shown up to twenty minutes before the end of the workday. Zhang Xinlei stared intently at the camera, trying to spot Qu Pu's figure in the crowded commuters.
The person reviewing the surveillance footage also looked up at the monitor and began searching for Qu Pu's figure. After all, Qu Pu was the company's manager and also the son of Old Master Qu, so everyone recognized him.
"Did Manager Qu go out earlier?"
After watching the surveillance footage for almost twenty minutes, the person who retrieved it rubbed their eyes. Their eyes were very tired from staring at the screen for so long. With a questioning tone, they turned to Zhang Xinlei next to them and asked.
"Absolutely impossible, Manager Qu must have left around this time!"
Zhang Xinlei carefully considered many possibilities, and the only possibility was that she could leave directly in twenty minutes. While speaking, her eyes never left the monitor.
"But, Manager Qu has legs, so it's entirely possible that he went out a little earlier."
I was just about to leave work when Zhang Xinlei showed up to review the security footage. Seeing the needle-in-a-haystack search, the person reviewing the footage glanced at the time on their phone and smiled as they spoke to Zhang Xinlei.
"Press pause now!"
Just as they were talking, Zhang Xinlei seemed to have noticed something and quickly spoke to the person who was reviewing the surveillance footage.
"It really is Manager Qu!"
Upon hearing Zhang Xinlei's words, the person who retrieved the surveillance footage didn't dare to delay for a moment. They quickly pressed the pause button, then looked up at the monitor and saw a person standing at the door in the video. The person looked at Zhang Xinlei in surprise and said...
"I told you I wouldn't be wrong! Now play it slowly and see where Manager Qu went?"
Seeing the other person's surprise, Zhang Xinlei smiled and stood up, speaking to the person who was retrieving the surveillance footage.
"Okay, it seems Manager Qu went towards the parking lot, got into one of those two white Honda minivans, and then left."
Now that he had found out, and feeling that he was finally close to getting off work, he told Zhang Xinlei where he was going next after seeing the sheet music, and which bus he was on.
"Now bring up all the footage where you can see this car!"
Watching the car leave the parking lot, Zhang Xinlei breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that it had gone to have dinner with President Bai. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly remembered something, turned around sharply, and gave an order to the person who was retrieving the surveillance footage.
"What's wrong? Haven't we already found them?"
The person who retrieved the surveillance footage didn't know why Zhang Xinlei was so agitated, so he pointed at the monitor and asked her.
"hurry up!"
Zhang Xinlei was getting anxious. Just as she was about to leave, she remembered that President Bai had said he hadn't received the sheet music at all. Why had the sheet music been taken by Bai's business team? Thinking of this, she had a bad feeling.
"Okay, there are two more cameras in the parking lot, which should also be able to see the direction of this car."
Seeing Zhang Xinlei's expression, which wasn't like this when she came in, but changed when she saw a car on the sheet music, the people who were reviewing the surveillance footage didn't dare to delay and quickly retrieved footage from other angles.
"Just as I thought!"
When Zhang Xinlei saw the footage on the monitor, she instantly lost all her strength and slumped into a chair, saying...
"Yes! Someone has kidnapped Manager Qu!"
Those who reviewed the surveillance footage also saw the scene. They saw that Qu Pu didn't get into the car on her own, but was pulled in by someone inside the car. It was as if they knew something big: the son of Mr. Qu, the general manager of the Oriental Group, had been kidnapped. If this got out, it would be a huge shock to everyone.
What are you going to do?
Zhang Xinlei, who was sitting in a chair recovering from her shock, noticed that the person next to her who was checking the surveillance footage picked up the phone, so she quickly snatched the phone back.
He hung up the phone he was dialing and nervously asked the person checking the surveillance footage.
Since it was already past closing time, there were only the two of them in the entire monitoring room.
"This is a huge matter. Old Master Qu's son has been kidnapped. Now that I know about it, I must report it to my superiors!"
The person who retrieved the surveillance footage was also afraid of something serious happening. If it were an ordinary employee, it wouldn't matter, but this was Old Master Qu's son. If they could have discovered it earlier, it would have been a great achievement, and they could have shown their worth.
"Whether Manager Qu has been kidnapped is still unknown. Do you have connections with that Honda commercial vehicle company and only found out today that Manager Qu was kidnapped?"
Holding the phone, Zhang Xinlei typed and questioned the person checking the surveillance footage with a look of suspicion on her face.
