1414 Qiao Nian Was Not Surprised at All
“It’s too late.”
Hearing the cheers outside, Qiao Nian rubbed her temples calmly.
“The competition is about to begin.”
Du Mingwei looked at the time on his watch. He hadn’t been in a hurry before, but now he was. “So, what do we do now?”
For a moment, he had no suspects. “Why don’t I ask somewhere else, see if they saw anyone enter the lounge?”
Qiao Nian tugged at the brim of her cap. There was a small cut on her lips today, and it was slightly red and swollen. Therefore, she had lowered her cap especially low today, revealing only her snow-white chin. No one would notice her red lips.
But her aura was no different from usual.
She was wild and unrestrained.
She was so arrogant!
And a devil-may-care aura exuded from her.
Yes, she was so carefree!
“There’s no need for that, Teacher Du.” She still had the cast on her right hand, and now that the hard drive was missing, there was no telling who had entered the lounge.
Du Mingwei felt that there was no situation worse than this!
There was some silence.
He didn’t understand why she was so calm.
Qiao Nian said, “They touched my things because they want to see me lose the competition. Go to the security room with Principal Liang and keep the surveillance video.”
“That’s for sure. I’d look for surveillance even if you didn’t tell me,” Du Mingwei whispered, his voice quick and nervous. “But the competition…”
“Heh.” Qiao Nian chuckled and raised her head slightly, revealing her exquisite oval face. Her eyes were flamboyant and bright. Without full confidence, she wouldn’t have such a sharp gaze. She casually put everything back into her bag, her slender fingers resting on the zipper of her shoulder bag. Then, she said cynically, “I’ll handle the competition. You don’t have to worry.”
Du Mingwei was speechless. How could he not worry when the hard drive was gone?
The unveiling ceremony outside was almost over. Du Mingwei heard the host calling the contestants on stage.
He understood the gravity of the situation. He had no choice but to trust the girl in front of him.
He steeled himself. “Fine. I’ll talk to the principal and have him pull up the surveillance footage.
“Hold the fort on the stage while I find the hard drive.”
The outside was urging again.
Qiao Nian raised her eyelids and glanced outside. Then, she said confidently, “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
The weather in Rao City was good today, and this software competition was the first high-level competition being held in Rao City. It could be said that tickets to the competition were hard to find.
The stands were full.
The breeze sent a cool breeze to dispel the summer heat. The weather was comfortable. At least, it was not as hot as in the capital.
Qiao Chen, Fu Ge, and the others sat around the ninth row. The tickets to the competition were too rare. The ninth row was already relatively close to the front.
Ye Wangchuan, Qin Si, and the others sat in the inner hall. The first three rows were not for sale.
This position gave a better view.
In addition, the location of the inner court was more spacious than the one that Fu Ge and the others could get. They didn’t have to squeeze in with the others.
Zhang Yang had bought water in advance. At this moment, he was giving everyone a bottle.
When he handed it to Ye Wangchuan, he said respectfully, “Master Wang, your water.”
Ye Wangchuan didn’t pick up. Someone seemed to have sent him a message. He stood up from his seat and said to Qin Si and the others in a low voice, “Someone sneaked into the lounge and stole Qiao Nian’s stuff.”
