The front building of the Sheng Family villa, the fourth room on the south side of the second floor, is the main surveillance room of the Sheng Family villa.
The villa is not a public area, and the surveillance system can operate independently, so it doesn’t need soone to watch the family mbers’ every move every day.
Rich people install surveillance caras in their hos for peace of mind.
Especially with three generations of the Sheng Family living together, there are always minor conflicts; having a cara in public areas makes everyone feel secure and act more cautiously.
Secretary Cai checks it every few days and deletes records that are older than six months.
The surveillance room is usually locked.
The servant responsible for maintenance went to check the surveillance, and after a while, hurried back.
"Old Master, the surveillance has been turned off. It’s been off for several hours," the servant said.
The old master was shocked.
"Who turned it off?" He glanced at everyone in the family.
Including the male servant in charge of the surveillance room, who has the key to the room.
Of course, the elders have it too.
Everyone imdiately denied it.
They all chid in: "I’ve been in the living room the whole ti, never went out."
"Yes, Dad, we’ve all been under your watch."
The grandchildren also hurried to explain: "Grandpa, we didn’t go to the front building either."
Sheng Qiao hesitated before speaking: "But..."
Everyone’s eyes turned to her.
She hesitated to speak.
The old master was very impatient: "What do you want to say?"
"Grandpa, I’m just saying, please don’t get angry—before we had dinner, Sister Tang and her brother vanished. Professor Sheng and Sheng Tang’s mother made several calls.
You saw it too; they looked for a long ti. Later, Sheng Tang’s mother said they went out to buy milk tea, but I saw Sheng Tang and Sheng Zong coming out of the front building." Sheng Qiao said.
She spoke cautiously.
The old master gave her a cold glance: "You an, Sheng Tang and her brother turned off the surveillance?"
"I don’t know." Sheng Qiao imdiately appeared anxious, "I’m just saying what I saw, Grandpa."
"Dad, don’t get angry. Qiao is just telling the truth," the eldest wife spoke for her daughter, "Although the surveillance was turned off, it should have recorded sothing before it was turned off, right? Let’s see who went upstairs."
Others agreed.
The old master thought it made sense and led everyone downstairs.
The male servant pulled up the last recorded footage and played it on the television.
Everyone sat down in the living room.
The children made room for everyone.
Everyone waited to see the surveillance footage, stretching their necks, while Sheng Tang deliberately squeezed beside Sheng Qiao.
Sheng Qiao was in the room, wearing a pink dress with a sleeveless white fox fur vest over it.
Her vest had pockets, was a bit heavy, and was worn open, not fitted.
Sheng Tang silently slipped the pocket watch into her pocket.
She slowly let go.
Sheng Qiao was very excited, waiting to see the surveillance footage and to watch Sheng Tang and her brother make fools of themselves, not noticing Sheng Tang’s action at all.
Sheng Zong and Sheng Rong, also part of the plan, were waiting to see the results, their attention entirely on the surveillance footage, not noticing either.
Sheng Zong caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, but it wasn’t clear.
He saw his sister poke Sheng Qiao.
The surveillance footage quickly began to play.
The corridor remained silent.
Two minutes later, Sheng Zong approached the door of Room Four, knocked softly, and called out quietly, "Sis," clearly captured, then listened carefully.
His series of actions made it seem like he knew Sheng Tang was inside but was afraid of disturbing others.
This suspicious behavior was very odd.
Sheng Sidong and Fang ngying’s faces imdiately changed.
