132: Bathroom surveillance

In the Wang family villa, Officer Liang led a team to arrest Su Meili.

Meanwhile, Wang Hai and the others sitting at the dining table were all struck as if by lightning.

They had clearly heard the evidence listed by Officer Liang, but they were still incredibly surprised.

Wang Jian sat at the head of the table, his aged hands beginning to tremble uncontrollably.

The expression on his face started to change, and he was so angry he couldn't speak for a long time.

As a businessman who had spent his life navigating the commercial sea, he could naturally guess what all of this meant.

Wang Lin suspected of armed kidnapping? Committing such a serious crime, he could not escape the punishment of the law.

What's more, Officer Liang just said he was also suspected of illegal smuggling using his company authority?

Now, not only would Wang Lin's life not be saved.

Even the business empire Wang Jian had painstakingly built would crumble in an instant!

As long as you touch the red line of the law, no one can escape.

"Rebellious son... rebellious son!" Blood surged in Wang Jian's face, his eyes red.

This elderly man, over half a century old, had incredibly complex emotions.

His trembling hands began to pound on the dining table, scolding weakly.

Finally, Wang Jian reached out with a pained expression, clutching his heart, as if he had suffered a great shock.

He closed his eyes tightly, leaned back on his chair, and gasped for breath.

Seeing Wang Jian so angered, Wang Lin's mother, who was beside him, had already cried until her eyes were red.

Tears flowed uncontrollably, and she quickly stepped forward to support Wang Jian, weeping bitterly.

At the same time, witnessing this sudden turn of events.

Wang Lin's older brother, Wang Hai, was already standing dumbfounded on the spot.

"Kidnapping? Smuggling? This..." he muttered blankly.

In his memory, although his younger brother Wang Lin would do things that crossed the line, he had always been able to smooth things over before.

But he usually acted quite humble; how could he do such things behind the scenes?

What surprised Wang Hai even more was that his wife, Su Meili, was also involved!

Wang Hai's eyes were full of confusion, and he looked at Su Meili.

He felt that the wife he had been married to for several years had become incredibly strange.

However, Wang Hai did not know yet.

What Su Meili and Wang Lin did behind his back was far more than just this.

Under Wang Hai's gaze, Su Meili also watched the evidence bag held up by Qing Niao.

Inside was clearly her lighter.

She had originally thought this lighter had sunk into the sea with the burning smuggling ship.

She didn't expect it to be placed in front of her now.

And this lighter was custom-made by her; it would be easy to investigate her based on it.

Not to mention being one of the masterminds behind the illegal smuggling.

Simply arson with intent to kill was enough for Su Meili to be tried in court.

At this moment, Su Meili also saw the face of Qing Niao, who was holding the evidence.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Su Meili was all too familiar.

It was Police undercover agent she had painstakingly tried to eliminate.

No other corroborating evidence was needed; the person who could accuse her of her crimes was standing alive right in front of her.

Su Meili knew she couldn't escape, and the color had already drained from her face.

As if all her strength had been drained, she slumped in her chair.

"It's over... it's all over," Su Meili muttered blankly.

It wasn't until Officer Liang signaled that two police officers stepped forward and handcuffed her hands.

The moment the cold handcuffs touched her, Su Meili was like a startled bird.

She whimpered softly twice, then her eyes filled with regret and hatred.

"Wang Lin... it's all your fault!"

Su Meili roared with hatred, her voice tearing through the air.

She no longer had any reservations and shouted out her most helpless worry at the moment:

"What am I supposed to do now? What about our child!"

And along with Su Meili's shouts, which echoed through the luxurious villa.

Suddenly, Wang Hai was struck as if by lightning.

"No... this is impossible!" Wang Hai said repeatedly, his voice blank.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and looked at Su Meili; even the usually mild-tempered Wang Hai couldn't bear it.

His bloodshot eyes seemed to be able to spit fire at this moment.

It was only at this moment that he realized he had been kept in the dark all along.

Everything about mutual respect and elegance was fake.

The child in the belly of the person who had always accompanied him in bed... was actually his own brother's!

As the sirens sounded outside, this absurd family dinner came to an end.

After tonight, all of Wang Lin's actions would be exposed.

What followed was Police's thorough investigation of Kelly Investment.

And the overwhelming negative public opinion would completely engulf the Wang family.

All companies that had dealings with Kelly Investment would inevitably try desperately to distance themselves.

As a result, Kelly Investment, which had been on equal footing with Far View (Yuantu) Investment, could no longer escape the fate of crumbling.

...

While Officer Liang was leading people to arrest Su Meili, Police also sent people to arrest the subordinates involved in the smuggling case.

Howling Wolf, another undercover agent who had been injured before, had already led Deputy Captain Zhao Hu and a group of others to the Sihai Shipping dock.

Due to his previous undercover investigation, Howling Wolf was quite familiar with the dock.

He pointed out to Zhao Hu the usual gathering place of the smuggling ring members.

Then, with lightning speed, all the remaining criminals involved in the smuggling case at the dock were arrested and brought to justice.

When Police surrounded them, the remaining thugs were even playing poker inside the house.

Police action was swift, and the scene of arresting the criminals was quite grand, immediately attracting public onlookers and discussion.

Tonight, it seemed that anyone related to the smuggling case could not sleep.

But there was one person who was completely contrary to the noisy scene outside...

After eating dinner as usual, Su Yue quietly began to clear the dishes from the coffee table.

After finishing, Su Yue did not return to his room.

He looked up at the clock on the wall.

He found that Lin Jia had been in the bathroom for an hour, and the sound of the shower had long since stopped.

Only the occasional sound of water splashing in the bathtub could be heard.

Su Yue had expected this.

After all, after what happened today, Lin Jia had stayed in the underground warehouse for so long.

Presumably, she would take longer to shower than usual.

And what Su Yue had to do next was to find a reasonable excuse for the fever symptoms he had already developed.

So, he endured the dizziness and lightheadedness and waited on the sofa for a while longer.

Finally, the bathroom door slowly opened.

Lin Jia walked out wearing loose pajamas, her skin visible at her wrists and neck.

Her originally fair skin had turned pink from the prolonged soaking in hot water.

She was drying her wet hair and exchanged a glance with Su Yue, who was sitting on the sofa.

"You... haven't rested yet?"

Not knowing what she was thinking, Lin Jia paused and spoke.

Su Yue was waiting for this line from Lin Jia.

He nodded with a smile and said lightly, "Yeah, I cooked dinner after I got back."

"It was also raining outside when I got off work, so I'll take a wash too."

With that, Su Yue got up and walked towards the steamy bathroom.

However, as Su Yue's words fell, Lin Jia's expression immediately froze.

Her hand, which was drying her hair, also stopped, and she was thinking about something in her mind.

Yuan's arm is still injured; the wound shouldn't touch water.

But Su Yue said he was going to take a shower at this time?

Moreover, isn't he afraid of exposing the wound?

Or... did I really misunderstand, he isn't Yuan?

Lin Jia pondered in her heart, but this was exactly what Su Yue wanted.

Seeing Lin Jia's reaction, Su Yue slowly walked to the bathroom door.

And his left arm wound had already been concealed with camouflage technology.

It was artificial skin more realistic than movie special effects makeup, covering the wound without showing even a single gap.

Su Yue was also taking this opportunity to dispel Lin Jia's suspicions.

There was a camera in the bathroom.

As long as Lin Jia suspected that the person who saved her today was him, she would definitely be unable to resist checking the surveillance footage.

At that time, she would see that Su Yue's arm had no wounds.

So, he came to the bathroom door and saw that Lin Jia was still standing in place without moving.

Su Yue pointed with his right finger and asked,

"You... still need to use the bathroom?"

Hearing this, Lin Jia also snapped back from her thoughts.

She realized she was still standing foolishly outside the bathroom door, blocking the entrance like a door god.

"Oh, no, you go ahead."

Lin Jia subconsciously shook her head and moved aside to make way for Su Yue.

However, as soon as she stepped aside, Su Yue's right hand also landed on the bathroom doorknob.

"Wait a moment!" Lin Jia seemed to remember something and quickly called out to Su Yue.

Su Yue's body stiffened, and he cast a bewildered look at Lin Jia.

"I... I left something behind, wait a moment first."

Lin Jia spoke haltingly,

Then, under Su Yue's gaze, she turned around and went back into the bathroom.

Seeing this, Su Yue waited outside in silence for a while.

While waiting, Su Yue realized that the other party didn't seem to have just left something behind.

Because Lin Jia didn't just pick up something and walk out of the bathroom.

Through the frosted glass, Su Yue saw a figure standing in front of the mirror inside, not knowing what Lin Jia was doing.

Soon, Lin Jia finally came out of the bathroom.

She was indeed holding something in her hand, but it was easy to tell with a quick glance.

It was a light pink, thin piece of intimate clothing.

"Okay, you go ahead." Lin Jia pretended to cover up her embarrassment and coughed twice.

Then she pretended nothing had happened and continued to dry her hair.

Su Yue didn't look at Lin Jia anymore and walked into the bathroom.

He closed the bathroom door behind him.

Su Yue's eyes immediately fell on the camera in the bathroom.

He didn't deliberately look, but rather observed with his peripheral vision.

And Su Yue only observed for a moment before he noticed the abnormality.

Recalling Lin Jia's actions just now, he smiled faintly in his heart.

Indeed, just as he thought.

Lin Jia didn't just accidentally leave something behind; she used the excuse of getting something to do something small in the bathroom.

He saw a layer of mist covering the mirror in the bathroom, but the lens of the camera next to the mirror was clean.

It looked like it had been deliberately wiped clean just now, and a towel was hanging nearby.

Lin Jia had told him when she installed the camera.

And she had reminded him that if he wanted to shower, he could use a towel to cover the camera.

And when Lin Jia was showering just now, she must have covered the camera with a towel.

The reason she returned to the bathroom under the pretense of getting something was to remove the towel covering the camera.

Because Lin Jia knew that Su Yue wouldn't touch or care about this camera.

Noticing what Lin Jia had done just now, Su Yue simply pretended not to see.

After closing the bathroom door, he turned sideways to prepare to take off his shirt.

...

Watching Su Yue enter the bathroom, Lin Jia pretended to be drying her hair with a towel.

However, her attention was completely focused on the bathroom.

At this moment, Lin Jia was having a mental struggle.

Should she go back to her room to check the surveillance footage?

Was her suspicion correct, could Su Yue really be Yuan?

Moreover, Lin Jia had never thought of such behavior when she installed the camera before.

It made her feel a bit like a perverted voyeur...

Lin Jia thought for a long time, unconsciously rubbing her hair with her hand.

Until a sound of flowing water was heard in the bathroom, as if testing the water temperature.

Lin Jia finally made up her mind and tiptoed to her room.

Opening the computer, Lin Jia checked the real-time surveillance footage.

Although she was fully prepared mentally, Lin Jia's face still couldn't help but flush with embarrassment.

She began to tell herself in her heart.

She was doing this to investigate whether Yuan, who saved her today, was related to Su Yue.

After all, after knowing so many coincidences, she couldn't pretend not to know anything.

Taking a breath, Lin Jia's gaze fell on the surveillance screen.

And when she saw the scene on it, her face unconsciously turned redder.

"Hiss..." The surveillance footage only showed Su Yue's upper body.

The other party had already taken off that black long-sleeved T-shirt.

However, he was standing sideways, only showing his right arm and body, as if playing a joke on her.

Lin Jia naturally also discovered that Su Yue's physique was surprisingly good.

Even though they lived under the same roof, this was the first time Lin Jia had seen it.

She felt like Su Yue might have worked out; the outline of his abdominal muscles was clear, which didn't look like someone who spent years in an office.

However, after a brief moment of distraction, Lin Jia quickly cleared her mind of distracting thoughts.

What she cared about most now was the situation of Su Yue's left arm.

Were there any wounds on it?

This was also the key point to verify Su Yue's identity.

And just as Lin Jia was thinking this, Su Yue in the surveillance footage also seemed to respond.

He finally slowly turned around, with his back to the camera, and also revealed his left arm.

Lin Jia observed carefully, almost watching the surveillance footage frame by frame.

Soon she discovered that there were indeed no wounds on Su Yue's arm!

When this scene in the surveillance footage appeared before Lin Jia, it immediately made her feel a sense of shock.

Su Yue really wasn't Yuan?

But their figures were indeed very similar.

And listening to Officer Liang's analysis before, Yuan going to the underground warehouse to save her, all these signs pointed to Su Yue.

But the surveillance footage was clearly in front of her; how could she explain it?

She and Officer Liang had both seen Yuan's left arm injured with their own eyes...

Just as Lin Jia was thinking, Su Yue in the surveillance footage made another move.

Lin Jia continued to watch, and saw that he had just aimed at the showerhead, but suddenly raised his hand to turn off the water.

He stood in place, seeming to shiver, feeling cold.

Lin Jia was stunned when she saw this, but quickly reacted.

A hint of apology couldn't help but rise in her heart.

Presumably, she had used the bathroom for too long just now, and all the hot water in the water heater had been used up by her.

"I even made him take a cold shower on a rainy day..."

"He won't catch a cold, will he..." Lin Jia thought.

...
