After chatting with Zhao Qian in the office for a while, Tang Qiushui basically figured out the relationship between Ding Kemeng and Lu Ziyin. She was secretly surprised by Lu Ziyin's special treatment of Ding Kemeng, but she wasn't particularly wary of Ding Kemeng.
After all, in her opinion, the position of the eldest son of the Lu family's wife would be hers sooner or later, and Ding Kemeng, an ordinary girl, could never be recognized by the Lu family!
After submitting the registration form, Tang Qiushui went to the restroom to wash her face and touch up her makeup.
Just as she was about to leave, Tang Qiushui suddenly heard a burst of laughter, which rose and fell intermittently and sounded rather strange.
The bathroom was empty; Tang Qiushui didn't see anyone else besides herself. Hearing that strange laughter suddenly coming from inside the bathroom sent a chill down her spine. She softened her steps, hugging the wall as she slowly made her way towards the direction of the sound.
In the innermost stall of the women's restroom, separated by a wall, there is a small space where the cleaning lady keeps her cleaning tools; almost no one comes to this place.
Tang Qiushui slowly approached, leaning against the wall, and peeked out slightly. A black head came into view.
There was something glowing under her head. Tang Qiushui looked closely and saw it was the light from a cell phone. It was a person, not a ghost! Tang Qiushui felt much relieved, but then her curiosity surged. She wanted to see what this person was looking at on their phone while hiding here.
The phone's owner got her wish; she swiped her finger across the screen, and in no time, Tang Qiushui had seen everything on the phone!
The photos all featured the same two people: Brother Ziyin and that girl named Ding Kemeng!
The two went home from school together, ate together, went to class together, and there was even a photo of them hugging! Tang Qiushui suddenly felt that her thoughts in the office were extremely ridiculous. She had really underestimated Ding Kemeng!
Such a young age, yet so skillful!
Tang Qiushui stopped hiding, reached out, snatched the phone, and said coldly, "Taking pictures of others secretly is not a good thing!"
The person squatting down panicked when their phone was snatched. They looked up abruptly and met Tang Qiushui's gaze. Both of them were stunned!
"Tang Meng?" Tang Qiushui vaguely remembered the girl with the same surname as her, whom she had saved once. Glancing at her phone and recalling the feud between Tang Meng and Ding Kemeng, Tang Qiushui realized, "So you were the one who took the photos..."
Tang Meng never expected that she would be caught just for secretly looking at a photo. Her first instinct was to retort, "No, I didn't take the picture. I didn't take it secretly. It was taken by accident!"
"An accident?" Tang Qiushui laughed, flipping through the photos in the album, all of them of Ding Kemeng and Lu Ziyin. How could this be an accident?
"Thirty-odd photos, and you're telling me these are all accidents? Tang Meng, do you even believe that yourself?" Tang Qiushui patted Tang Meng's shoulder, a dark glint flashing in her eyes, and continued, "Tang Meng, let me tell you, the Lu family is no pushover. If someone finds these photos one day and reports them, you won't be able to continue studying in Xiushui, and you might not even be able to stay in B City!"
Tang Meng was only driven by jealousy, which is why she couldn't help taking these photos. She really didn't think much about what kind of punishment she would receive if the photos were discovered!
Seeing that her intimidation had worked, Tang Qiushui continued, "So you'd better be careful. I don't want these photos to end up being exposed on forums and online communities. If my brother Ziyin's face is revealed and his reputation is damaged, you'll be in big trouble!"
The forum, the posts, these photos… How could she not have thought of that! Tang Meng suddenly felt happy. It didn't matter if Lu Ziyin's face couldn't be exposed, but Ding Kemeng's face could be exposed! As long as Ding Kemeng's face was exposed, and considering she was hugging and cuddling with several boys, how could she not be ruined!
Thinking about it, a smile gradually appeared on Tang Meng's face.
Seeing that her words had achieved the desired effect, Tang Qiushui raised the corners of her mouth and tossed her phone to Tang Meng, saying, "You'd better delete these photos as soon as possible, or I can't guarantee what will happen to you!"
After saying that, Tang Qiushui ignored Tang Meng and turned to leave the bathroom.
Her hint had achieved its effect; how Tang Meng would carry it out was no longer her concern.
In the ninth-floor monitoring room, Lu Ziyin operated the computer and quickly pulled up the surveillance video of that corridor. He was right; someone had indeed been spying on him and Mengbao when they were talking in the corridor at noon!
The video time was rewound, the image was zoomed in, and Lu Ziyin even saw a girl in a school uniform holding up a phone, which was pointed directly at him and Mengbao!
This person is taking pictures secretly!
Unfortunately, the girl was positioned too well, and the surveillance camera couldn't capture her full appearance. Apart from a small side profile, Lu Ziyin found almost no useful clues about who the girl was!
The thought that the girl had secretly taken photos, especially of the baby, filled Lu Ziyin with irritation. She angrily slammed her fist on the table, cursed, copied the video, and stormed out of the monitoring room.
The two staff members who were kicked out of the monitoring room by Lu Ziyin also heard the noise inside. They waited anxiously for Lu Ziyin to come out, and only after she had walked away did the two look at each other helplessly and return to the monitoring room.
The table was a mess, clearly showing the bad mood of the person who had just been inside. A section of the surveillance video on the computer screen had been cut out, and the two staff members didn't dare to say anything. They both sat down and continued working.
Since she couldn't be sure who had taken the photos, Lu Ziyin didn't want to alert them or spread the news. Holding the video, she made a phone call, instructing the person on the other end to keep an eye on the school's online forum and report immediately if any photos of Ding Kemeng were posted. The person on the other end readily agreed.
When Ding Kemeng returned, she didn't see Lu Ziyin at her seat. She was a little puzzled, but didn't ask any further questions.
I took a few minutes to rest before class started, and when the bell rang, the afternoon classes began.
Halfway through the first class in the afternoon, Lu Ziyin quietly sneaked in from the back of the classroom. Ding Kemeng waited until Lu Ziyin sat down before leaning forward and whispering, "Where did you go? Why are you so late?"
"Something came up, but it's okay, don't worry about me." Lu Ziyin liked Ding Kemeng's appearance, and she was always happy to see her with her brows furrowed.
"Who's worried about you!" Ding Kemeng glared at Lu Ziyin, turned her head away and ignored him, but her ears, hidden under her hair, were bright red!
