Qin Wen was growing more curious about the relationship between Qi Sui Bai and the little lady, who could call his wife, who was not much older than him, auntie.
However, what attracted him most now was the plan between the two and the woman who seemed to be plotting something.
He asked directly, but only received a reply from Qi Sui Bai: "Just watch."
Soon Tang Xiao Xiao walked out of the Financial Director's office, looked around to see no one, and left.
Qin Wen, with Qi Sui Bai and Jian Sheng, came out of another office and followed from a distance.
Jian Sheng held her phone, on which the watermark camera faithfully recorded the scene.
Watching Tang Xiao Xiao enter the CEO's office again, Qin Wen frowned: "What exactly is she planning to do? Should we stop her?"
"No," Qi Sui Bai shook his head, looking at the camera overhead, "We're going to the monitoring room."
Qin Wen asked, "If she's really planning something, aren't we going to expose her?"
Qi Sui Bai retorted, "Do you have any evidence?"
Qin Wen was startled, remembering what he had seen in the CEO's office yesterday. At that time, Tang Xiao Xiao seemed to be looking for something, but she immediately resumed her normal demeanor and pretended to be delivering reports when he entered.
When Tang Xiao Xiao came out of the Financial Director's office just now, she was also holding something, which was probably meant to be a shield when someone bumped into her?
Qin Wen said anxiously, "Then what do we do now?"
Qi Sui Bai still said the same thing: "Go to the monitoring room."
Qin Wen was confused. He wouldn't be able to see anything just by watching the monitor, would he?
However, at this point, Qin Wen would not object. He took the two to the central monitoring room. With Qin Wen present, the person in charge of the monitoring room quickly retrieved the surveillance footage of the 27th floor onto the central screen.
"Rewind the time to before seven minutes and twenty-three seconds," Qi Sui Bai said.
The person in charge of the monitoring room looked at him inexplicably. After receiving a nod from Qin Wen, he did as he was told.
After the monitoring rewound, the corridor on the 27th floor was empty.
Qin Wen asked, "Did you remember the time wrong? Could Tang Xiao Xiao not have come out yet at this time, or already entered the boss's office?"
Jian Sheng quickly raised her phone, showing him the time on the watermark camera.
"Uncle Qin, Xiao Bai didn't remember it wrong. Seven minutes and twenty-three seconds. No, it's eight minutes and two seconds ago, which was when the bad aunt just came out of the room."
The time and location were clearly displayed on the watermark camera. Qin Wen did a quick calculation in his mind, and the time matched perfectly.
But at that time, neither the tall nor the small person seemed to be looking at their phones, were they?
Relying entirely on their mental recall, accurate to the second?
What kind of monsters were these?
Comparing the time shown on the phone with the current time, Qin Wen asked the person in charge of the monitoring room to rewind the surveillance video again, but there was still no one present.
It was as if the back of the short-haired woman on the phone was fake.
"Is the time displayed on the surveillance broken?"
The person in charge of the monitoring room flatly denied it: "Impossible, the time on the surveillance is automatically synchronized by the system, and all times are consistent. There can't be any errors!"
Qin Wen pointed to the phone video and the surveillance video, "Then tell me what's going on?"
The person in charge also realized that the time on the watermark camera could not be faked. Either the surveillance or the phone must have a problem.
The person in charge quickly called someone to check if the monitoring program and data were normal.
Time ticked by. The person in charge was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. This was his responsibility. If there was an accident with the surveillance, he wouldn't be able to escape the consequences.
Especially since the problem was with the CEO's office, such an important location.
The person in charge, unwilling to give up, asked again: "Special Assistant Qin, did you really see this woman enter the CEO's office just now? Don't frame me."
Qin Wen said coldly, "There are so many of us who saw it. Are we seeing ghosts?"
The person in charge suddenly shivered: "W-what if it really is?"
Qin Wen's expression darkened, and the person in charge immediately fell silent, reciting the twenty-four-character mantra. For a moment, he didn't know whether to hope that his surveillance was broken or not.
After another five minutes, an employee stood up, sweating profusely.
"Report, the surveillance seems to have really malfunctioned."
The person in charge's face changed: "What's going on?"
The employee turned his computer to face them, looking nervous: "Our surveillance was hacked, and other videos were used to overwrite it. This means that what we are seeing now is old surveillance footage, not today's."
Cold sweat broke out on the person in charge's forehead.
This was a serious matter!
The company's surveillance had been silently hacked. If it weren't for Special Assistant Qin and the others, they, who were in charge of surveillance, wouldn't have discovered it until who knows when!
After all, this was the surveillance of the 27th floor, and it was related to the CEO's office!
If something happened, the responsibility was far beyond what they could bear!
The person in charge quickly asked people to fix the surveillance quickly, constantly raising his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his head, as if waiting for the final verdict.
Qin Wen said in a deep voice, "I'll call the police now. You have people catch Tang Xiao Xiao. Now that the evidence is conclusive, she can be charged with commercial espionage!"
After giving instructions, Qin Wen took out his phone to report the matter to the boss. Suddenly, Jian Sheng pulled his sleeve.
Jian Sheng's soft voice called out, "Wait!"
Everyone immediately stopped. They all knew that Mr. Gu had another daughter, and now that the little lady spoke, they had to listen.
Jian Sheng pulled Qin Wen's sleeve, "Uncle Qin, can we catch that bad aunt a little later?"
"Why?" Qin Wen was confused, but remembering that the little lady and Qi Sui Bai had discovered Tang Xiao Xiao's plan today, he waved his hand and told people to come back.
"Because they still have a next step, but it's not aimed at the company, but at my mommy." Jian Sheng said seriously, "But if I tell my dad directly, he definitely won't believe it, so I want to expose her after she's done!"
In an instant, everything the little lady had done seemed to be explained.
The lady's accidental injury, Tang Xiao Xiao's urgent actions, and the little lady's prescience as if she knew everything – all the clues suddenly connected.
Qin Wen suddenly realized: "Little lady, did the madam discover something was wrong, but didn't know when Tang Xiao Xiao would strike, so she deliberately drew the boss away to create an opportunity for her?"
Uncle Qin seemed to have misunderstood something, but neither Jian Sheng nor Qi Sui Bai intended to explain.
This explanation perfectly explained why Jian Sheng knew these things. As for why mommy knew Tang Xiao Xiao's plan?
Oh well, some people can always come up with logical explanations~
Jian Sheng smiled like a little fox who had stolen a chicken, her eyes curved into crescent moons as she raised her little finger: "That's right, but Uncle Qin, can you pinky swear with Sheng Sheng not to tell Daddy these things yet? Daddy and Mommy have many conflicts, and if Daddy knew in advance, it wouldn't be effective."
