"Alright, let’s see what he has to say!"
Just as Ye Ning was about to be overwhelmed by the deadly silence, this man finally spoke, uttering his first words to her since the harsh comment he made last night.
Agreeing to look at the security guard!
Upon hearing this, Ye Ning immediately felt as if something in her heart had finally landed, and her whole body weakened, trembling slightly.
How tightly wound had she been?
After agreeing to look at the security guard, the owner of the water delivery company immediately pulled up his video footage.
Indeed, as Ye Ning had expected, shortly after they investigated the security guard, they discovered that last night at around seven, a person wearing a duckbill cap arrived at the company’s entrance.
Afterward, the security guard gave him a set of employee uniform, and he left!
"Someone, grab that security guard right now!" The boss, having witnessed this scene, roared and led his men to apprehend the security guard.
Ye Ning stood behind the crowd without making a sound until everyone in the office had left. Then she approached the surveillance footage alone and watched attentively what happened next.
"What are you still watching?"
"Where did he put the Jade Bracelet?" Ye Ning almost blurted out her thoughts without thinking, and only after speaking did she realize her mistake, hastily leaving from the front of the computer. Then she stood there with her head bowed, not daring to make a sound.
How could she have said that? By saying so, wouldn’t he know that she was aware of the whereabouts of the Jade Bracelet?
Ye Ning wished she could bite off her own tongue!
Yet, to her surprise, this time the man showed no reaction. Instead, he stood there and gave the surveillance screen a cold glance before speaking indifferently, "And then? What did you see?"
Ye Ning was a bit slow to react.
Didn’t he suspect her? She had just let something slip, and he, such a shrewd man, hadn’t noticed anything amiss?
She couldn’t believe it, "I saw... he returned the clothes later."
"Yes, I think he probably returned them to avoid getting caught. Mucen, should we go and check on that uniform now?" Ye Ning said with a cold sweat in her palms.
In reality, the surveillance video hadn’t shown the clothes being returned. The reason she had said so was that she had seen some Jade Marrow Qi on the security guard earlier.
Jade Marrow Qi, the essence left by the Jade Bracelet, was something her eyes could perceive.
If the security guard had it on him, it meant the Jade Bracelet had passed through his hands, or at the very least, there had been a very close contact.
Therefore, it was more crucial to find that uniform at this moment!
Ou Mucen said nothing. He simply stood there with his hands in his pockets, looking down at her from his elevated position, expressionless, without a ripple. His eyes were more like those of an examiner, probing, observing, questioning...
Her expression was evasive, which was beyond doubt.
But such evasion didn’t seem to stem from a sense of guilt over some wrongdoing. It appeared more like an attempt to hide a secret, afraid to let him find out, and fearful of exposing herself.
So this matter actually had nothing to do with her. And her jittery and hesitant demeanor, was that because she had a secret of her own to keep?
