"– Ouyang Chen on the phone –
Sister Hong: "Where are you?"
Ouyang Chen: "The airport."
Sister Hong: "Come to Athena tonight."
Ouyang Chen: "Okay."
– End of call –
Sister Hong's tone was faster than usual, even a bit serious.
Ouyang Chen felt that something must have happened, otherwise, Sister Hong wouldn't be so somber.
Therefore, Ouyang Chen didn't wait until evening. After leaving the airport, he rushed over.
***
Sister Hong: "Why are you here so early?"
Ouyang Chen: "I heard your tone, it sounded like something happened, so I..."
Sister Hong: "That's because I get angry thinking about you still approaching the Wang family for those two paparazzi, wasting my time and manpower!"
Ouyang Chen: "Godmother, please help me, just this once."
Sister Hong: "It's precisely because you're my godson that I don't want to get involved!"
Ouyang Chen: "Then why did you ask me to come, Godmother?"
Sister Hong: "Who knew you'd be here so early? What you want isn't ready yet."
Ouyang Chen's eyes lit up. Could he find a clue soon?!
Sister Hong: "Feng Lan's club has separate surveillance cameras, which can see inside and outside the club."
Ouyang Chen: "But the club was burned down, can the surveillance footage still be saved?"
Sister Hong: "I really wish it couldn't be saved, to break your obsession!"
Ouyang Chen: "Godmother, good mother, please tell me."
Sister Hong: "I found a hacker and found out the surveillance lines didn't go through the club, so it's possible to see the surveillance elsewhere."
Ouyang Chen: "Where?"
Sister Hong: "It's no use being anxious! They haven't figured out the IP address that received the signal yet!"
This was good news. At least it proved that Young Master Lan's surveillance might still exist on another computer. As long as they found where the signal was received, they might be able to find out who started the fire!
As they were talking, Sister Hong's phone rang. After a while, she wrote down an address and handed it to Ouyang Chen.
Sister Hong: "You're so lucky! They found it!"
Ouyang Chen quickly looked at the address, it seemed so familiar...
Sister Hong also seemed to find it familiar...
So they both exclaimed in unison: "Feng Lan's home!!!"
Ouyang Chen kissed Sister Hong's head a few times and then rushed out.
Ouyang Chen drove his car at high speed. He was almost crying with joy at this good news. Just when he thought victory was within reach...
It turned out Tong Ze Kai was living there!!!
The moment Tong Ze Kai opened the door, Ouyang Chen was disgusted by the sight inside!
Color photos were plastered everywhere, and the room was in chaos.
And looking at Tong Ze Kai, who was swaying at the door with a vacant stare, Ouyang Chen knew why he looked so weak.
Tong Ze Kai: "You, why are you here..."
Ouyang Chen pushed Tong Ze Kai aside. The last time he broke into Feng Lan's house, he had marveled at how well-organized the woman kept her home. But now it was like a drug den, disgusting!
Ouyang Chen scanned the room until he saw a cloth-covered table in the corner of the living room, from which a faint glow emanated.
When Ouyang Chen lifted the cloth covering the screen, he was going crazy! The people on the screen were unbearable to look at!
Tong Ze Kai: "Come play together."
Ouyang Chen: "Sister Lan is dead, and this is how you mourn her?"
Tong Ze Kai: "Who is Sister Lan?"
Ouyang Chen sighed, looking at the zombie-like Tong Ze Kai. What a useless man...
Ouyang Chen: "Where is Young Master Lan's surveillance?"
Tong Ze Kai stood behind Ouyang Chen, a chilling smile on his face.
Ouyang Chen: "Get lost!"
Tong Ze Kai was pushed down by Ouyang Chen, falling to the ground. But he seemed not to feel any pain, still maintaining that eerie smile.
Perhaps there really were surveillance recordings of Young Master Lan on the computer, but Tong Ze Kai had moved them, and he didn't know where they were stored.
Ouyang Chen moved the mouse. His hands felt sticky. He pulled open the keyboard, which was covered in some sticky liquid, emitting a strange stench.
Just as Ouyang Chen found the hard drive storing the surveillance footage, the records within happened to stop on the day of the incident.
He clicked on the video recording, and images of Young Master Lan indeed appeared on the screen.
Ouyang Chen saw himself leaving, and then saw a few minutes later, the young paparazzi coming out to take out the trash...
Then, as it got dark, a van slowly drove into Young Master Lan's courtyard.
Several men carried white buckets from the van. They began to pour a liquid around Young Master Lan.
One man even went inside Young Master Lan's. At this time, Fan Zhijie and the young paparazzi were eating hot pot in a private room upstairs.
The soundproofing designed to protect guest privacy had now become an obstacle to them discovering the people entering downstairs.
When the group of men returned to the van, one of them lit a match and threw it towards the nearby grass.
Flames instantly erupted, first engulfing the house, then the walls, followed by a violent explosion...
This video explained everything. The explosion was caused by someone opening the gas inside, preventing them from escaping, and blocking the door from the outside...
The purpose was to burn them alive, to make all the secrets of Young Master Lan disappear..."
