From Sidekick to Bigshot Novel - Chapter 981
Chapter 981: Slapping Henry and Lucy’s Faces (3)
But this was impossible! Their security system was impeccable. As a result, other than members of the Goodman family, no one else could access this surveillance video.
Furthermore, to prevent hackers from accessing this footage, the machines which stored the surveillance videos were not connected to the Internet.
And thus, this was impossible unless someone entered their house!
However, that would never happen!
Henry didn’t receive an alert from his security personnel!
Therefore, no thieves had entered his home!
Then how did this surveillance video get leaked?!
Whilst Henry and Lucy were surprised, everyone else at the ball had finished watching the video.
Unlike the previous video which was somewhat ambiguous, this one was irrefutable evidence!
Henry and Lucy had killed Qin Hongzhi and imprisoned Qin Yufan! They were using Qin Yufan to threaten Qin Chuan!
What a shocking truth!
Jian Yiling was not the murderer. It was Henry and Lucy!
Everyone turned to look at Henry and Lucy with the same expression they used to look at Jian Yiling a while ago.
Qin Chuan also stared blankly at the screen.
After a long time, his gaze moved to Jian Yiling.
This was the first time today he properly looked at Jian Yiling.
Jian Yiling’s eyes were still clear. She remained calm although Qin Chuan’s eyes were fixated on her.
It was the same as the first time he saw her.
As he looked at her, Qin Chuan had mixed feelings in his heart.
Finally, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Yes, it was a smile. And yet, it was unusually bitter.
At this moment, members from the Major Crimes Unit and the Special Crimes Investigation Division entered the ball venue.
The contents of the video which was played were enough for these teams to arrest Henry and Lucy.
Henry began to panic. He quickly made a call home.
However, the call was not answered by his security personnel.
Instead, it was answered by a voice that made him terrified.
“Elder?” Henry stammered when he heard the man’s voice.
Why was he here?
“We asked you to expand our business into the Eastern markets! We didn’t tell you to commit crimes! Now, you are responsible for your own actions!”
After that, the Goodman family elder hung up the phone.
“Elder… Elder…”
Henry was dumbfounded.
He did not expect his family elders to come to Beijing to intervene with his plans.
Why was this happening?
And why did they know what he was doing?
This didn’t make sense! This couldn’t be happening!
After all, expanding into the Eastern markets was only a small part of their plans. It wasn’t the most important project.
This meant that the family elders were not meant to intervene.
Who disclosed this information to them?
And if that was the case, did they release the surveillance videos?
Without the help of someone in the Goodman family, it was impossible to take the surveillance videos without anyone noticing.
As Henry thought about this, his face became completely white.
Being abandoned by the Goodman family was more frightening to him than seeing this surveillance video.
Then, Superintendent Ruan walked up to Henry: “Mr. Henry Goodman and Miss Lucy Goodman, you’re suspected of being involved in Mr. Qin Hongzhi’s death and the illegal imprisonment of Miss Qin Yufan and Ms Zhang Manzhu. Please come with us to assist in our investigation. You have the right to remain silent. However, every word you say now may be used against you in court.”
Then, Henry and Lucy were handcuffed.
With everyone else watching, the two of them were taken away by the police.
This was supposed to be the first party for Henry and Lucy. It was meant to announce their arrival to everyone in Beijing.
And yet, this party somehow led to their imprisonment!
