BXBX NOVEL Chapter 183 A Suspicious Video
Pushing her disappointment aside, Li Caiyi tapped on Detective Tang\'s message.
[Detective Tang: I have sent a video clip to your email. Check it out. It\'s from your father\'s office.]
It was a short and concise message, like usual. Detective Tang would regularly update her on the situation on his side, but there was mostly nothing worthy to report about, except that her father was going out with a different woman again.
So far, there had been no improvement regarding the hidden camera and bug she planted in her father\'s office, and she had already retrieved the one planted in Li Chunhua\'s room.
The video of her slapping Gu Xue always looked fresh, no matter how many times she watched it. Sadly, there had been no significant result from the devices planted in Li Jirong\'s office.
Based on what Detective Tang had reported, so far, her father did nothing but work in his office. Even Gu Xue rarely visited his office anymore. It looked like he was busy with something, but there was no way to find out just from looking at the camera footage.
She received this message just when she thought her investigation had faced a deadlock, which leveled up her mood.
Li Caiyi wasn\'t so disappointed anymore and quickly opened her email for the video.
It was a short video, only about a minute or so. The view showed her father\'s office from a higher angle, but she could clearly see almost every office corner. Gu Xue did a pretty good job of choosing a suitable place.
The office was empty at first, but Li Jirong came into the office carrying a folder after a few seconds. The moment he stepped into the room, the first thing he did was to lock the door. He had a deep frown on his face as if he was pissed off about something.
"This isn\'t going so well. I already expected it wouldn\'t be easy but never thought it would be this hard."
It seemed Detective Tang also added the voice while he was at it. Li Caiyi wanted to praise him for doing such a good job.
After that, Li Jirong opened her folder and scanned it up and down. He even flipped the pages back and forth a few times. From the camera\'s angle, what was written on the file could hardly be seen, so Li Caiyi waited for his following action.
Not long after that, he grumbled while walking to one of the bookcases on the side of the room. He put the folder in his hand to one of the folder holders before making his way to the couch and lying down on it.
Then, the video ended just like that.
Li Caiyi put her fingers on her chin while trying to remember her past life memories. No matter how much she tried to remember, she couldn\'t remember a single thing that could be associated with what he just mentioned in the video.
"What is this difficult thing he mentioned?" she muttered to herself when Detective Tang sent her another message.
[Detective Tang: How is it? Do you have any idea about it?]
[Li Caiyi: Unfortunately, no. Can I ask you what you think of this?]
[Detective Tang: That folder is suspicious, no more, no less. I\'m as clueless as you, and the only thing to find out is to check what\'s in that folder directly].
[Li Caiyi: I see, I think so too. Should I ask Gu Xue to take a picture of what\'s inside?]
[Detective Tang: That would be really helpful, young lady. You need to ask her to be careful and not to leak what\'s inside no matter what happens, though.]
[Li Caiyi: Don\'t worry. She knew that room was bugged, so she would know we were watching her actions. Besides, I still have her weaknesses in my hand.]
[Detective Tang: I like your confidence, young lady. I\'m still shuddering every time I replayed the video when you slapped that nurse. I certainly don\'t want to be on your bad side.]
[Li Caiyi: Then, make sure to keep up your good work. Let me know if you find anything else.]
[Detective Tang: Bossy as always, I see. I expect a raise for my well-done job, then.]
Li Caiyi re-watched the video a few times more and was convinced that she should ask Gu Xue to find out what was in that folder. If it was something that could be used against her father, then it might be worth checking it. If the plan failed, the one who would take the blame would be Gu Xue, and she felt no moral burden regarding that.
Li Caiyi wasted no time and sent a message to Gu Xue regarding her next task. Considering the time, she probably wouldn\'t reply until tomorrow.
".....I wonder when Zhiqiang will finish his work?" Li Caiyi yawned after sitting silently for a while.
She had done some work and even chatted with Detective Tang for some time, but there was still no sign Dai Zhiqiang would contact her anytime soon.
The current time showed 01.35 AM. Did he always work until this late every day?
Li Caiyi couldn\'t imagine how he could drag that tired body to the school tomorrow.
Left with nothing to do, she played a phone game to kill time. However, even after an hour later, she still had received no message from Dai Zhiqiang. She gradually got worried because of that.
She didn\'t want to disturb him if she could help it, but her hand still typed a text for him.
[Li Caiyi: Zhiqiang, I just want to check if everything is alright on your side?]
Li Caiyi felt like she could bore a hole in the phone because she frequently stared at it. She wasn\'t in the mood to play phone games anymore, but she wanted to make sure if Dai Zhiqiang was okay or not, so she patiently waited for his reply.
Little did she know, the wait lasted until the sun slowly rose.
Li Caiyi checked on her phone for the nth time, but there was no new message. She spent a sleepless night worrying about Zhiqiang, and now she wasn\'t sure if she could get up from the bed or not.
