Chapter 259 The Video Was Edited
Zed quickly reached the monitoring room by elevator. With a shadow hanging over him, he asked his
employee to retrieve the video which had been recorded since he came to the company last night. As All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
soon as the video was retrieved, he watched it in silence with gloom on his face.
After watching the video, he found that nothing strange happened after Jesse came in, except that
there was no scene for several minutes.
'No scene?'
Zed took a deep look at the blank screen. He was suddenly burdened by the complexities of his
feelings.
He left the monitoring room and directly went to the parking lot by elevator.
He drove fast and made a phone call to Zack. On Zed's arrival at the parking lot of the club, Zack came
into view waiting for him, looking drowsy.
"Zed, you called me and woke me up so early in the morning. What's wrong?" Zack asked him and Zed
watched him yawn.
"Our company's surveillance video was edited. I want you to go with me to the club to check the video,
in order to know what on earth Jean was doing there the other night. I also want to confirm if it has
been edited as Jean said. Isn't Mr. Wang, the boss of the club, your friend? Did you give him a phone
call saying we will be coming?" Zed threw all these questions at Zack.
"Yes, I called him very early this morning. He is waiting for us." At first, Zack assumed Zed wanted to
see the club video because of Jean's incident. But he was shocked to find out that the surveillance
video had been edited in Zed's company. His sleep suddenly left him and he asked, "What happened?
Did you offend anyone recently?"
While speaking, he entered the elevator and stood next to Zed.
With his eyebrows furrowed, Zed replied in a cold tone, "I know I have offended many people, but I am
sure that I didn't offend anyone lately. I mean this person, whoever he or she is, is taking things very
personally."
"Okay, forget it, " said Zack with a smirk.
Apparently, Zack discerned that Zed was not in his usual mood.
He looked furious and it seemed that he cared a lot about this thing.
To be sure, Zack would be angrier than Zed if someone made mischief on his wife.
"How will Jean react if she knows this? Do you really plan to conceal this from her? Then, your
relationship will be worse, won't it?" Zack asked Zed in great astonishment.
"I should pretend to be angry with her and give her the cold shoulder for the time being. This is the only
way to find out who framed her." Just the mention of Jean softened Zed and a shadow of sadness
passed his face.
"But you are a couple. If you act furiously and apathetically towards her, aren't you afraid that Jean will
get cranky and leave you?" In Zack's eyes, it was obvious that Zed and Jean were perfect for each
other, so he was very worried about their relationship breaking.
"To protect her, I have to do this, " said Zed coldly with a conviction that this topic was closed for now.
Then, he strode out of the elevator.
Zack rubbed his nose and smirked because he detected the softness that prevailed on the mention of
Jean. 'So he still loves her very much, ' he thought while smiling.
Mr. Wang, the boss of the club, had been there waiting for them for a long time. When he saw that Zed
and Zack showed up together, his face was beaming with a welcoming smile.
He knew that Zed and Zack were two well-known people in the H City. He was proud to have them in
his club. He walked towards them and intended to shake hands.
However, Zed only gave him a cold glance and then glared at Zack. In his cranky mood, Zed wanted to
get to the point rather than share pleasantries.
Zack immediately understood what Zed wanted. He stepped forward, patted on Mr. Wang's shoulder
and said, "Mr. Wang, Zed and I want to have a look around your club. You must keep our visit here
confidential, or else you will..."
Zack instructed the boss ruthlessly.
All of a sudden, Mr. Wang's smiling face turned grave and he anxiously replied, "Mr. Qi, Mr. Xing, you
are warmly welcome to visit around. I swear to both of you that I will keep your visit confidential."
"Okay. Just carry on with your own business! We will look around by ourselves." Zack waved his hand
at the boss, hinting him that he could leave. Then, he directly walked towards the monitoring room
closely behind Zed.
"I think you will gain nothing useful today if someone really wants to set you up, " reminded Zack. Upon
hearing this, Zed realized he had a point, so he nodded.
"I know that, but I still feel restless if I don't check the video in person." Zed ordered the staff to retrieve
the video recorded at the night of last Friday. After giving his instructions, he fixated on the scenes of
the video with his arms crossed on chest.
It took him two hours to watch the video from the beginning to the end but found nothing. The video
they watched turned out to be the same as the one that went viral.
The sole difference consisted in the fact that the other three people blurred were visible here.
Looking closely, Zed focused his eyes on the scenes.
Maranda was born into the noble Qin Family and Zed knew that.
She was under his suspicion because it was Maranda that insisted Jean to keep her company for the
date.
However, after thinking, Zed came to a conclusion that there was no motivation for her to frame Jean
and him.
Qi Family and Qin Family never dealt with each other in business, which left no room for conflict of
interests.
Now he focused on Ron and Calvin who had just returned after their overseas studies. Born in rich
families, they were just playboys.
But Zed's muscleman had reported back to him that Ron had an interest in Maranda and planned to
further deepen his relationship with her after their meeting at the club.
It seemed that Ron was worried about coming across as desperate, so he took one step at a time.
Leaving out Maranda and Ron, it was just Calvin on Zed's list.
At the thought of this name, Zed unknowingly knitted his eyebrows. Calvin and Ron were friends.
Although Calvin was not as humorous and outgoing as Ron, his quietness appealed to the girls.
From his handsome face and noble demeanor, it could be judged that Calvin would make extraordinary
achievements in the future.
Unconsciously, Zed paid more attention to Calvin, Because he interacted with Jean the most that night,
And he was the only one who acted ambiguously in front of Jean.
After taking another cold glance at Calvin's face on the video, Zed turned back and walked out of the
monitoring room.
"Did you finish watching the video?" Zack hurriedly followed behind Zed and asked him in great
surprise, "Did you find anything?"
"Assign someone to investigate Ron Qi and Calvin Li." Without pausing to hear Zack's answer, Zed
continued walking toward the elevator.
"Investigate them? That is so unnecessary! All of our families engage in businesses. After all, we know
almost everything about them." Upon hearing Zed's instruction, Zack just didn't feel like agreeing this
time.
Zed walked into the elevator and looked at Zack with an expressionless face. "Would you ask your
friend to keep you company when you go dating? Ron went for dating Maranda, but he went there with
Calvin. He didn't know that Maranda would go there with Jean. Then, why on earth did he ask another
man to keep him company. Isn't that weird, Zack?"
After seriously considering this for a while, Zack shook his head and replied, "Yes. I also smell
something fishy here, but the relationship between Ron and Calvin is so close that they almost always
do things together. For example, once both of their parents thought that they were gays. It is because
of this worry that Ron's parents anxiously desired to claim kinship with the Qin Family as soon as Ron
and Calvin returned after their overseas studies."
Zack explained to Zed in a calm and reassuring manner.
"Ron needn't go dating with the company of Calvin, no matter how close their relationship is! This is
completely absurd." Not believing Zack's words, Zed snorted with contempt, "Ron's parents are in the
Imperial Capital, which is very far away from here. And so they can't know what Ron is up to at all.
Then, was it necessary for Ron to go dating following the instruction of his parents?"
"This sounds a little sensible." With no choice left, Zack agreed with Zed and nodded at him. "I will
assign someone to investigate them right away."
"Also, remember to ask him to be careful during his investigation. Don't bother their parents in the
Imperial Capital." Zed exhorted continuing to leave.
