Chapter 98: The Surveillance Footage Has Been Lost

Translator: Zayn_

Zhou Jin’s words were too shocking.

“Q-Qingyou, how could you do such a thing?” Chen Lan blurted out.

As Song Qingyou’s manager, what she said was equivalent to confirming that Zhou Jin was telling the truth!

“Sis, are you alright?” Xu Mingrui was dumbfounded.

“Sister Lan, where’s your room card?” Song Qingyou looked at Chen Lan with a half-smile.

“Of course it’s in my bag…” Chen Lan said as she searched in her bag.

After a while, she raised her head in disbelief. “It’s gone? My spare room card is missing?!”

Then, she looked at the card in Zhou Jin’s hand. “Look carefully. Isn’t he holding my spare room card?”

“Sister Lan, how could you do such a thing?” Song Qingyou retorted with a fake smile.

Chen Lan was stunned for two seconds and felt guilty. “1… wasn’t 1 too anxious and said the wrong thing?”

“I swear I didn’t give the room card to anyone! Officer, I don’t know where this person got the room card. He either stole it or picked it up!”

Song Qingyou had her room card in her hand, which could basically rule out the theory that she gave the room card to Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin made up his mind not to give in. “I’m not lying! Sister Qingyou gave me the room card!”

“Really?” Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows.

“Since you insist, let’s check the fingerprints on that card!”

“If I gave it to you, my fingerprints should be on it.”

Seeing Song Qingyou’s relaxed expression, Zhou Jin felt even more anxious.

“1 was wrong just now! This card was given to me by Manager Chen. 1 thought that if the manager gave it to me, it would be no different from Sister Qingyou giving it to me, so…”

Chen Lan was instantly enraged.

“What the f*ck are you talking about? Why would 1 give you the room card? 1 think you stole my things!”

“Police officer, arrest this thief!”

As long as Zhou Jin did not tell the truth, this matter would definitely continue to be investigated.

As the rest of the crew saw Song Qingyou and Chen Lan’s reactions, they all felt that Zhou Jin was the one with the problem.

Yu Muhuai suggested, “Do you want to take a look at the surveillance footage?”

“Sister Lan lost her room card. It should have happened near the hotel.”

“Yes!” Chen Lan nodded. “Let’s go check the surveillance cameras!”

The group went to the hotel’s surveillance room.

In the end, when they asked casually, they were told that the surveillance footage for the past few days had been lost.

“Then wouldn’t 1 be unable to clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River?”

“What’s wrong with your hotel?” Chen Lan glared at the room manager. “How could the surveillance footage be lost? Don’t you even have an explanation?”

“We will investigate the loss of the surveillance footage and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer…”

“Who wants to listen to this kind of official explanation?” Chen Lan was exasperated. “Who knows if you guys are colluding with that Zhou Jin!”

The surveillance recordings were gone. What else could they find out?

Zhou Jin heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he became even more stubborn. “Sister Lan, you can’t say that. You were the one who gave me the room card…”

“Even if I gave it to someone, 1 would give it to Yu Muhuai! I wouldn’t ever give it to you!” Chen Lan’s tone was harsh.

If it weren’t for the police officers, she would have attacked him personally.

Xu Mingrui stood up. “The surveillance recordings are lost, so there’s no way to prove it…”

Before he could finish, Song Qingyou walked up to the computer and said to the security department, “Move aside!”

“Qingyou, what are you doing?” Chen Lan was puzzled.

What answered her was the sound of typing.

Chen Lan wanted to ask more questions, but Yu Muhuai pressed his index finger to his lips. “Shh. She’s retrieving the surveillance footage.”

“Getting it back?” Chen Lan was stunned.

Zhou Jin’s heart was in his throat again.

“As long as the data isn’t completely deleted, it seems like it can be restored. So Qingyou is so powerful…” Zhen Wenwen said faintly from behind.

Seeing Zhou Jin’s face suddenly turn pale, Zhen Wenwen pursed her lips. Thinking that tonight’s drama was no longer interesting, she decided to browse Weibo.

She would not have known if he did not surf online, but she was shocked when she did.

Zhen Wenwen looked at the ” fresh” hot search #Song Qingyou two-timing# and the corners of her mouth twitched speechlessly.

He also replied to the paparazzi’s revelation: [Zhou Jin broke into her hotel room. Song Qingyou called the police. Now the police are checking the surveillance cameras. How can this be rumored to be a private meeting with a young hunk?]

Zhen Wenwen wasn’t famous and only had a few thousand fans.

However, as an actress in The Immortal Demon, she had attracted a lot of attention from this revelation.

Not to mention the explosive news that she had revealed.

Zhen Wenwen had just replied when Song Qingyou stood up.

“It’s done.”

“The surveillance recordings of the past few days have been restored.”

She looked at Zhou Jin calmly. “Let’s take a look together!”

Zhou Jin evaded her gaze, wishing he could run away.

Zhen Wenwen closed the door and grinned at him.

Soon, everyone found the recording of Chen Lan losing her room card.

Chen Lan then remembered that Song Qingyou suspected that there was a camera in the room that day. In order to prove that there was no camera in her bag, she turned the entire bag over.

She didn’t pay attention while stuffing the key card in the back, and didn’t notice it when she dropped it at the door.

Then, Zhou Jin picked up the room card.

That night, Zhou Jin walked around Song Qingyou’s room.

“Qingyou was out running at night at this time,” Chen Lan said.

The so-called night run was, of course, going to the internet cafe.

“No wonder Zhizhi kept sniffing at the door that day.” Song Qingyou was stunned for a moment, but she calmly changed the topic.

“Then it must be an unfamiliar smell.” Chen Lan clicked her tongue. “To think that you would laugh at Zhizhi for acting like a dog. I think you’re the real dog.”

Song Qingyou:

The last part of the surveillance footage was what happened today.

Zhou Jin barged into Song Qingyou’s room before she returned.

When she opened the door, he was only wrapped in a towel.

With so many people watching this scene, even if Zhou Jin was not arrested and detained, he would be completely dead.

The hotel manager was the first to react, bowing and apologizing to Song Qingyou.

“The responsibility for the loss of the surveillance footage lies with your hotel. I want you to post what happened in the apology statement and change my room. Is that okay?”

“Of course! This is what I should do!”

The manager immediately took Song Qingyou to her new room.

As compensation, he had even arranged for Song Qingyou to stay in a higher-class room and exempted her from all fees.

At the same time, Zhen Wenwen’s comment had already become a hot topic.

Many people doubted the authenticity of her comments.

[ If he really broke into the room, he wouldn’t open the door so calmly, right?]

[Song Qingyou is outside and Zhou Jin is inside. Why don’t you say that Song Qingyou went to the wrong room? This is even more believable]

[There will be relevant announcements after the police are called. 1 haven’t seen anything yet. Anyway, I don’t believe it.]

Even though they knew that Zhen Wenwen was an actress, most people still did not believe it.

It couldn’t be helped. There were too many artistes nowadays who would make a statement and send a lawyer’s letter, only to be proven fraudulent the next day….
