Gu Yu raised his eyelids and glared at the manager coldly with his black eyes. He didn’t say anything, but his silence was enough to make the manager shudder in fear.
He saw for himself how much this powerful man loved his wife. If he provoked this man, he couldn’t imagine the consequences he would face.
He didn’t dare to push the blame anymore. He quickly opened his mouth and said, “Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, I will go and investigate this issue instantly. I will give you an answer as soon as possible.”
Xu Weilai mercilessly refuted, “Investigate? You? Based on your attitude just now, I don’t believe you!”
The manager wiped the cold sweat on his forehead as he said, “Mrs. Gu, how would you like to handle this problem?”
“It’s quite simple. I want to look at the surveillance images. I only believe my own eyes!”
“This…” The manager was in a tight spot. “Mrs. Gu, no outsiders are allowed to look at the surveillance images. It would be an invasion of privacy for the other customers…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Xu Weilai started complaining to Gu Yu again. “Honey, look at him…”
Gu Yu raised his hand in cooperation and patted Xu Weilai’s puffy cheeks gently. As he then turned to the manager, his gaze instantly turned sharp. He lifted the corners of his lips and said calmly, “Maybe outsiders aren’t allowed to look at the surveillance of this venue. If that’s the case, all I can do is replace the venue’s owner with my wife so that she can play with it.”
As he spoke, he pinched Xu Weilai’s cheeks lightly with his fingers and said in an extremely gentle voice, “Don’t be angry anymore. Now, you can keep the people you like to stay behind and fire the ones you don’t like.”
“Honey, you’re the best!”
The manager’s knees went weak, causing him to almost kneel down.
If other people said this, he wouldn’t believe it. However, Gu Yu was the one who said it; this place might soon truly become Mrs. Gu’s toy.
Did that mean that he would be the first one to get fired?
He couldn’t afford to offend them. The manager immediately changed his mind and said, “Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu. I will go and make the arrangements immediately. Please wait here for a moment.”
After Gu Yu and Xu Weilai entered the monitoring room, Xu Weilai started picking on the staff as if she was still angry. “Manager, you and the security can leave now. I don’t want to see you! You’re making me feel worse!”
“This is against the rules…” The manager refuted instinctively. Halfway through his speech, he saw Gu Yu’s cold expression from the corner of his eyes. He could only nod and tell her, “We will be waiting outside. If you need anything, shout for us.”
They walked out and gently closed the door behind them.
Xu Weilai immediately retracted her arrogant and unreasonable attitude. She walked to the front of the screens and started moving the mouse, searching for the images of that night.
First, she needed to confirm if the images were truly gone.
Gu Yu didn’t disturb her. He stood quietly behind her and watched her serious expression. The corners of his lips lifted up subconsciously.
Even if he was worried that she might get hurt every now and then, he never restricted her work. That was because he wanted to protect everything that she loved. He would like the things that she liked.
Xu Weilai looked through the images. All the images of Li Huihuang and Wen Xiaoshan from that night, whether it was from the cameras in the lobby, the lift, or the corridor, were all gone. They were deleted without a trace.
In that case, there would be no direct evidence to prove that Li Huihuang entered after Wen Xiaoshan got drunk.
Was all her effort going to be for nothing?
Xu Weilai furrowed her brows and desperately searched for a solution in her mind. She wondered if there were other breakthrough points. Suddenly, she saw Gu Yu from the corner of her eyes. A thought flashed past her mind.
That’s right! There was one other place!
