Chapter 556: Acknowledgement
"Zhong Nianyao, get someone to check the surveillance footage right now!" Zhong Mengxuan became righteous and confident. "I must clear my name in this matter."
Her righteous look made it impossible to doubt her words.
Zhong Mengxuan was very proud at this moment. She was not a fool. How could she let the surveillance camera destroy her after knowing that there was a surveillance camera in the lounge?
Long before attending the engagement party, she had already found a way to have it deleted.
She was a fool if she didn't do anything even though she knew there was surveillance. As long as there was no surveillance video, she wouldn't be afraid even if the police were called.
Thinking of this, when she looked at Zhong Nian Yao, a hint of pride appeared in her eyes.
"Okay!" Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows and nodded, "But there's no need to find someone to come. I have something here that you can look at directly!"
As she spoke, Zhong Nianyao walked towards the dressing table, on which was a camera. "This camera has been on the entire time, recording everything that happened in the lounge. Even our conversations here should have been recorded."
As she spoke, Zhong Nianyao had already picked up the camera and pointed at Zhong Mengxuan. She curled her lips and continued, "We can just watch the replay directly. Isn't that more convenient?"
"This..." Zhong Mengxuan's breathing paused, and the panic in her heart reappeared.
She had always thought that the only cameras in the lounge were those above. She never imagined that there was actually a camera placed on the table in the lounge.
If only I had known earlier, if only I had known earlier—
Then she would definitely take the camera with her when she left.
Thinking of this, Zhong Mengxuan's breathing began to quicken. She wanted to stop Zhong Nianyao's actions and destroy the camera in her hand.
However, all this was just a thought. In the current situation, she could do nothing at all.
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Mengxuan tried to calm her nervous mood, and kept telling herself that there was no need to worry, no need to worry at all.
Zhong Nianyao was definitely trying to trick her. How else could it have happened so coincidentally? Just after she had managed to delete the surveillance footage, Zhong Nianyao pulled out another camera.
"Then let's take a good look at what Zhong Mengxuan has done!" Zhong Nianyao chuckled and said, "Originally, this camera was placed here by the person responsible for recording the engagement party, just to capture some behind-the-scenes footage. Unexpectedly, it captured some unexpected scenes!"
As she spoke, Zhong Nianyao turned on the camera, and the picture appeared. It was the result of Zhong Nianyao playing with her phone alone in the lounge.
The camera was not very big, so not many people could be seen, only Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, and Mr. Zhong, Mrs. Zhong.
Others could only barely see a little bit.
I don’t know if it was intentional or just a coincidence, but Zhong Mengxuan happened to be able to see that image.
When the video began to replay, all of Zhong Mengxuan's mental preparations collapsed in that instant. She could no longer convince herself that Zhong Nianyao was just pretending.
Seeing the video continue to play, Zhong Mengxuan really couldn't stand it anymore. She quickly stepped forward, and without anyone noticing, she picked up the camera, lifted it up, and then threw it heavily to the ground.
"Don't look at it anymore."
In an instant, the camera broke into two pieces, the screen was broken, and it suddenly became dark, and all the images stopped abruptly.
No one thought that Zhong Mengxuan would do such a thing.
For a moment, everyone was stunned. However, after they came to their senses, when they looked at Zhong Mengxuan, their eyes had changed dramatically.
Just now, everyone was just suspicious of Zhong Mengxuan, but now it's almost certain. If Zhong Mengxuan didn't do it, then why did she throw the camera? This is clearly an act of guilt.
"It seems that you have admitted what you have done." Zhong Nianyao said lightly, "Does this count as a confession?"
"Yes, I did it."
"I just want to kill you, so what? Zhong Nianyao, you should have died long ago instead of staying in this world and getting in my way."
At this time, Zhong Mengxuan no longer had any worries.
By now, almost everything about her had been exposed. Whether it was her relationship with the Zhong family and Zhong Nianyao that she had tried so hard to hide, or the things she had done in the past. She was finished, she was really finished.
After today, there will be no place for her by Lu Chenran's side anymore, and she can't go back to the Zhong family.
At this point, she was almost ready to throw in the towel.
"What misfortune for our family!"
Although he had known this for a long time, hearing Zhong Mengxuan admit it in person was still a huge shock to Mr. Zhong. His breathing became rapid and his hands covered his chest.
"Old man." Mrs. Zhong exclaimed.
Zhong Nianyao took a step forward, said nothing, stretched out her fingers, and tapped several places on Mr. Zhong's body.
When the last blow landed, Mr. Zhong's rapid breathing had calmed down, his flushed face returned to normal, and he looked much better than before.
Old Master Zhong was the one who felt it the most. He felt his chest was much lighter and the stinging pain was gone.
Zhong Mingyu stepped forward and slapped Zhong Mengxuan in the face. "You evil girl, what on earth did you do?"
The sudden slap made Zhong Mengxuan unable to react for a moment.
The pain on her cheek quickly brought her back to her senses. When she looked at Zhong Mingyu, she actually had a hint of hatred in her eyes. "You hit me, you actually dared to hit me."
"I'm going to hit you." Zhong Mingyu gasped for breath, looking extremely angry. "You actually wanted to kill someone. Is there anything else you can't do?"
"Does this have anything to do with you?" Zhong Mengxuan's attitude was very cold. "You don't care about me anymore. What does what I do have to do with you? What right do you have to hit me? You don't want to care about me, but you want to act arrogantly in front of me. What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"
Zhong Mingyu was so angry at Zhong Mengxuan's words that he could hardly speak.
He raised his hand, and his hand was trembling as he pointed at Zhong Mengxuan.
