Chapter 50: The security recording



Chapter 50: The security recording

“But you can see that that person is deliberately doing this. I don’t know how he got to know but he knows. And the worst thing is we don’t even know what he wants. He didn’t mention any demand to keep his mouth shut. We don’t know how to contact him. So how will we investigate this?”

She started to cry.

“Grandma…what if he tells Jinhai?”

She tried to calm her down.

“No No. Nothing will happen like that. If he wanted to expose us to Jinhai then he would have already done so. He is toying with us. He will say his demand eventually. And at that time, we will give him whatever he wants to not spill it.”

She assured her but was a nervous wreck herself.

Thank God my husband is not here at this time. It will not only ruin Jinhai and Huian’s relationship but also mine with him. I have to end this before he comes back.

Grandpa Liu had a hobby to travel a lot. So he used to be away for long periods of time after he finally handed his CEO position to Liu Hai. Occasionally he returned in case of any special event but he couldn’t do so for the anniversary.

This matter was something Grandma Liu hadn’t shared with her husband. So if he comes back before it’s settled, she would be in a big problem.

She thought hard.

“But with this second letter, it’s confirmed that that man was at the party. And we know all the guests. We had made the guest list together. I know for sure that none of them can know about this.”

Huian had to agree. It cannot be any guest.

“What if…he was among the staff? He disguised himself as one of the workers?”

“That may be possible. But our security is so tight. There is no way any worker can enter without proper identification.”

“He may have forged it. Or he may have swapped with the original staff and disguised as him.”

Grandma Liu was struck with an idea.

“When did he put the gift? We can know from the CCTV, right? We can see the recording when all the gifts were kept and we’ll be able to see who was the person who kept that particular gift which had the first letter.”

Huian finally found some hope. If they can see how he looks like then it would become much easier to investigate him.

“I will get the recording at once.”

She quickly called the security head and asked for the party recording.

“Mam, is there any problem? Is there any threat?”

She quickly gave an excuse. It would be a problem if he reported this to Jinhai or Father Liu.

“Of course not. It’s just…I lost my earring that I particularly like very much. And I think I lost it during the celebration. So I thought of just taking a look. The maids also still haven’t found it.”

“Okay, mam.”

She got the recording and asked him to leave.

“Grandma! Here it is.”

“Play it now.”, she urged.

Huian got her laptop and started playing. She fast-forwarded it to the scene where all gifts were kept. They waited for the man to appear, but nothing happened even after that part was over. That man was nowhere to be seen.

“What? What happened? It’s over but the man didn’t come and neither is the gift there.”

“I don’t know.”

She again played the footage but it was still the same. Now she was panicking.

But then she noticed something odd. That maid…why did she come again?

Wait a minute.

She again played the footage. And her eyes widened.

“Grandma. Somebody has tampered with the recording. It’s showing the twenty seconds of a previous part of the footage. It’s looped to play that part again where this maid comes and keep the gifts. He must have kept the gift in that time frame but altered it to hide.”

Grandma Liu was stunned.

“How can this be? He can even tamper with our security? This is bad.”

Huian cried. “What now? We don’t have any way to know about him. We can’t contact him. We don’t know what he wants. So how will we deal with him?”

At Natsukashi.

Nana was thinking about her new job when her phone rang.

She picked it up.

“Nanaaaaaa. I miss you so much!!”

Nana had to distance herself from her phone. She sighed.

“Serena. I miss you too. Tell me, how is your internship going on?”

“It’s going great. There is a pest who is jealous of my work. She always tries to create problems with me. Hmph! But I know how to handle her. So I’m cool. But I’m having withdrawal symptoms. I need your food!”

She chuckled, “When you’ll return, I will cook for you as much as you want okay?”

“That’s my girl. Now I got the energy to work again. So, what’s new?”

She told everything about her anniversary catering contract and the new job offer from Liu’s.

“That’s awesome. A second contract from the same family. And not just any family. Liu’s have become your fans! Your life is set!”

She facepalmed.

“Well, work will go on forever. But what about love? How far have you gone with Chen Jianyu?”
