Pinching her palm, Tao Yu tried to speak normally: “I don’t know. I had checked it before lunch, but when I returned, water had been splashed on the wiring, causing one instrument to malfunction.”
“Are you saying someone entered this room?” Yue Linze’s expression turned cold.
Tao Yu stared at him for a moment before nodding. Yue Linze immediately called the butler: “Retrieve the surveillance footage from outside the testing room during the two-hour lunch period.”
Tao Yu was somewhat surprised, not expecting him to be so straightforward. In fact, since discovering this incident, she had suspected Yue Linze, but now, based on his behavior… could it not be him?
Tao Yu had been suspicious, and now was half-believing, half-doubting. After seeing the furtive figure in the surveillance footage, she completely eliminated her suspicions about Yue Linze and was utterly shocked—
Zhou Ying? Wasn’t he Yue Linze’s buddy? Why would he do such a thing?
The surveillance footage showed Zhou Ying walking into the testing room with a cup, looking around, then leaving with the cup, but the water had disappeared.
Tao Yu looked at the scene on the surveillance video, unable to speak for a long time. After a while, she hesitantly said, “What is he trying to do? I didn’t offend him, did I?”
“You didn’t offend him, I did,” Yue Linze said flatly, then turned to look at Tao Yu, frowning. “I’m sorry, Dr. Tao. It was a mistake by the Yue family. I should have had someone keep an eye on him.”
“…Mr. Yue, please don’t worry too much. After all, no one would have expected Mr. Zhou to come to the Yue family and pour water on my equipment,” Tao Yu said, pausing and sighing with some frustration. “It’s just that Mr. Zhou is being too reckless. This equipment is expensive, and only our workshop’s technicians can repair it. The repair costs will be considerable.”
“Dr. Tao, don’t worry. The Yue family will cover all expenses. As for Zhou Ying…” Yue Linze’s words trailed off, a hint of inquiry in his eyes as he wanted to see how Tao Yu would choose.
