nke.”

“Ok. We can find out with his name.” Chang Dajin looks at his subordinate. “Go and investigate. Question everyone who is on duty last night!”

“Yes.” The man walked out of the office quickly.

Chang Dajin is looking terrible. “I apologize to you if this is our fault. Dont worry! I will never allow such things to happen again, and I will get to the bottom of this!”

Sound sincere….

Dong Xuebing starts to suspect Chang Dajin might be unaware of this incident from his expression.

“Have you taken your lunch?” Chang Dajin asked.

“No.” Dong Xuebing replied.

“Alright. I will get someone to send food here. We can eat while waiting. Mr. Dong, this lunch is a form of apology. Please accept it.”

Dong Xuebing nodded as he was hungry. He had not taken his lunch as he rushed to Dong Hai District in a hurry.

Chang Dajins men had started investigating and quickly found Geng Xinkes name in their records. Room 3203. After that, the suited man called the three staff on duty in the surveillance room last night back to the hotel for questioning. The video was sent out this morning as the footage is in a different format. This format needs to be converted before it can be burned into a DVD. This needed time, and the prime suspects were the night shift staff. Only a handful of people know this hotel is related to the State Security Bureau. They are all Chang Dajins trusted men. The rest of the staff do not know about this.

Two hours passed.

Afternoon 3 pm.

Dong Xuebing and Chang Dajin smoke in the office when the suited man enters.

“How is it?” Chang Dajin looks at him.

The man replied. “Its confirmed. The culprit is Xu Zhong. He was on duty with another staff at the surveillance room last night.”

Chang Dajins face changed. “Why did he do this? He is quiet, hardworking, and honest. That was why we picked him to work in the surveillance room. Are you sure he did this?”

The man nodded. “I also did not expect this. I can tell from his eyes when I questioned the staff and checked with the other nightshift staff. The other staff admitted he slept in the surveillance room after midnight, and Xu Zhong was awake. After that, I sent someone to check Xu Zhongs room in the staff hostel and found these.” He placed a bag on the table.

Chang Dajin opened the bag and gave it to Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing saw there is a videotape and seven to eight DVDs. The DVDs are the same brand as the one sent to the Subdistrict Office.”

“Let me use a PC.” Dong Xuebing needs to confirm.

“Sure. Use mine.” Chang Dajin steps aside.

Dong Xuebing played the DVD on the PC, and it was the video of Geng Xinke and Lin Pingping.

Chang Dajins face changed. “Where is Xu Zhong!?”

The man replied. “He is outside.”

“Bring him in!” Chang Dajin banged the table in anger. “This idiot!”

Chang Dajin looks angry, but Dong Xuebing knows he purposely showed his anger to show him he is unaware of this incident. This is unnecessary as Dong Xuebing knows Chang Dajin should be innocent. Chang Dajin is a businessman and doesnt need to send this recording to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Theres nothing to gain from it, and he will risk getting exposed. It will be too stupid. But why did Xu Zhong do this?!

The office door opens.

A man was pushed into the office from outside.

Dong Xuebing looked at that man. This is Xu Zhong.

“Dont know you know about the regulations of the surveillance room?” Chang Dajin stares at him coldly.

Xu Zhong replied emotionlessly. “I know.”

Chang Dajin hit his desk. “Then why did you do this? Are you trying to get me in trouble?!”

Xu Zhong kept quiet.

Chang Dajin was about to continue scolding but was stopped by Dong Xuebing. “I have two questions.”

“Do you know Geng Xinke?” Dong Xuebing asked. “How did you know him?”

Xu Zhong did not answer.

Chang Dajin shouted. “Mr. Dong is asking you now! Answer him!”

Xu Zhong replied. “Xinke and I are high school classmates.

Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes. “You two have grudges in the past?”

Xu Zhongs eyes changed. “I was forced to drop out of school because of him! How can he be a government official while I become like this!”
