After Qin Yajing publicized it so extensively, the news quickly spread throughout the Lu family manor.
Some people think Qin Yajing is talking complete nonsense.
"She found a young man in the surveillance footage? I checked the footage too, and there was clearly nothing there! I suspect she's just making it up!"
"I also think it's nonsense! Maybe she's just using this excuse to stall for time! In the end, everyone will forget about it, and it will all be dropped!"
"These papers scattered at the entrance of the Lu family manor were definitely thrown there intentionally, but how can we prove that what was written on them was false! That it was slanderous! It might just be the truth!"
"........"
Of course, even though Qin Yajing spoke so convincingly and confidently, some people were still skeptical.
“When we checked the surveillance footage, we only skimmed through it and might not have noticed anything. But Qin Yajing is different. It concerns her reputation, so she must have checked very carefully and wouldn’t have been as careless as we were. She might have actually seen it.”
"Since she said she was going to find this person, could it be that she was really wronged? Otherwise, how could she be so confident?"
"I think it's possible, because if she wasn't wronged, then even if they find out who it was, it wouldn't make a difference, unless she really didn't do it, which is why she's so determined to find out who it was and clear her name."
"........"
Qin Yajing knew all about the rumors and gossip circulating among the people.
She didn't offer any explanation.
She conveyed this message for one purpose: to get it to one person's ears!
Then wait for this person to make a move!
........
Night fell.
It's already past midnight.
Everyone, from the Lu family members to the servants, was already asleep.
A man walked out of the Lu family's surveillance room.
He was in charge of nighttime security for the Lu family.
In addition to patrolling the entire Lu family manor at night, he also had to go into the monitoring room from time to time to check the surveillance footage and see if there were any problems in places he hadn't noticed.
After leaving the monitoring room, the security guards will continue their patrols.
Because the Lu family manor is very large.
So, once they start patrolling like this, it takes at least an hour to get off.
After the security guards left, Qin Yajing, who was hiding in the grove, raised her phone.
The phone was pointed at the monitoring room.
She turned on the video recording function.
While waiting, someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder.
Hiding in the grove late at night, Qin Yajing was startled when someone tapped her on the shoulder.
"Bang."
Her phone was left on the ground.
Qin Yajing: "......."
She breathed a sigh of relief when she turned around and saw that it was Lu Yan.
Qin Yajing picked up her phone: "Uncle, what are you doing in the woods so late at night instead of sleeping? If people didn't know better, they would think we were having a secret rendezvous here under the cover of darkness."
Lu Yan: "......."
His face suddenly tightened, and he looked visibly embarrassed and unnatural.
Qin Yajing realized that the joke had gone a bit too far.
She herself was a little embarrassed.
After a forced laugh, Qin Yajing changed the subject: "I'm waiting for the person who framed me to surface. Uncle, are you one of them? Did you come here specifically to help me solve the case?"
"You still suspect it's Xia Weiwei?" Lu Yan didn't answer Qin Yajing's question, but instead said this.
Qin Yajing glanced at Lu Yan in surprise.
How could she have guessed that? She was waiting for Xia Weiwei?
However, a white light flashed through Qin Yajing's mind very quickly.
What Lu Yan just said was incorrect.
It turns out that Lu Yan always refers to Xia Weiwei as Teacher Xia.
But just now, he called Xia Weiwei by her full name.
There's probably something fishy going on here!
Qin Yajing squinted for a few seconds.
So, did Lu Yan also realize something, which is why he stopped calling Xia Weiwei "Teacher Xia"?
After all, someone who does such a despicable thing is not fit to be a teacher.
Last night, Lu Yan stood in front of the fountain, pondering the ins and outs of the matter and how to investigate it.
Then the investigation should begin today.
Or perhaps he already has preliminary findings from his investigation?
Qin Yajing didn't ask Lu Yan directly, after all, she had noticed last night that Lu Yan's attitude towards Xia Weiwei was somewhat unusual.
Therefore, Qin Yajing did not point out Lu Yan's change in addressing Xia Weiwei, but said, "I have no doubts, I am just confirming. I do not doubt anyone right now, after all, doubts are useless, only evidence is useful."
“I’ve checked the surveillance footage too,” Lu Yan said. “I didn’t find anything wrong. That person must have known about the blind spots in the Lu family’s surveillance system and deliberately avoided being monitored.”
At this point, Lu Yan gave Qin Yajing a meaningful look: "So how can you be so sure it's a man, and a young man at that?"
Qin Yajing swallowed.
She concluded that it was a man, and a young man at that, based on her assumption that Xia Weiwei was the one behind it all.
Qin Yajing concealed the fact that the person she suspected was Xia Weiwei, and instead said, "Uncle, you know I work in the entertainment industry, and the entertainment industry is inevitably full of open and covert struggles. Since I am a female star known for my beauty, therefore..."
"Cough." Lu Yan's eye suddenly twitched, and he coughed.
Qin Yajing: "......."
She opened her eyes wide and said, "Uncle, is there a problem with what I said? Aren't I a woman known for her beauty?"
