The annoyed Haiwei heard the security guards chattering away and frowned deeply...

Soon, he impatiently growled, "Stop wasting time! I'm not in the mood to hear your nonsense right now! Open the door, I want to check the surveillance footage!"

"Huh? Surveillance footage? Alright! Alright! Alright!"

Realizing they weren't being fired, they paused for a moment, then instantly revived with renewed energy!

Five minutes later, all of them stood uniformly in front of the monitor...

Haiwei glanced at everyone, expressionless, and softly said, "Here is all the surveillance information from the past seven days. I can pull them all up right now! But I don't want to do that because the truth will be awkward! So, if someone accidentally took that Chestnut Snake, you can step forward now! I promise, I absolutely won't hold it against them!"

Hearing Haiwei's words, Wu Yong looked at the people and furiously shouted, "Brother Hai has spoken, that little thief better step forward immediately! Otherwise, when the footage comes out, things will get ugly!"

Faced with this chilling threat, everyone exchanged glances...

Soon, they looked calmly at Haiwei and Wu Yong!

They were calm because they knew they hadn't done anything guilty.

Wu Yong and Haiwei noticed their calmness, and their expressions changed slightly...

Haiwei was about to say something, but Wu Yong spoke up first!

"Alright! Alright! Alright! You all won't cry until you see the coffin!"

Saying this bitingly, he looked at Haiwei and said, "Brother Hai, it looks like that thief won't come forward, let's not waste time! Pull up the footage directly!"

"Alright!"

Knowing it was pointless to continue talking, Haiwei nodded lightly...

Soon, he gave orders, and the security guards nodded too. Quickly, an older guard swiftly adjusted the previously recorded surveillance information.

Soon, he adjusted the timing...

As he adjusted the time, they all saw Wu Yong holding the Chestnut Snake appear in the corridor...

Seeing this, Wu Yong quickly said, "Brother Hai, you see, at that time, I was carefully carrying the cage with the Chestnut Snake here."

Haiwei glanced over, nodding gently...

Soon, with a slightly hoarse voice, Haiwei said, "Start playing it now, I want to see who's bold enough to steal that Chestnut Snake!"

"Exactly!"

Wu Yong glanced at everyone, speaking coldly!

At this moment, he had already decided...

Once the culprit was found, he'd make that thief regret it without hesitation...

"Yes!"

That guard agreed, beginning to fast-forward.

Meanwhile, he couldn't help but glance at the group of people!

He knew if the thief was among them, they were really doomed...

Because now both Wu Yong and Haiwei were genuinely and completely angry...

"No way, soon we can't let that thief escape, or else, face truly terrifying fury!"

The moment this thought came to mind, he quickly glanced at the three people standing not far away...

The three guards understood what he intended, nodding lightly...

Quickly, they quietly moved to surround the large group.

After surrounding them, they concentrated on watching everyone, ready to pounce on any suspicious move...

Meanwhile, on the screen, the surveillance footage slowly started playing...

Seeing this, Wu Yong sneered grimly, but as it played, his expression turned somewhat troubled!

The footage showed not a hint of anything unusual...

The whole corridor remained empty!

No one approached...

"What... what the hell is going on?"

His mouth twitched as he rubbed his eyes.

As Wu Yong was feeling frustrated, Haiwei beside him didn't look good either.

This was because Haiwei also felt something was off...

The footage was just too quiet!

Half an hour later, everything was played till the end!

Haiwei looked at Wu Yong, speaking softly, "Wu Yong, it's all over, now explain properly! Why did no one appear?"

"Uh..."

Wu Yong's mouth twitched a few times!

He was embarrassed too!

Earlier, he was confident someone had taken the Chestnut Snake, but now it was clear, that wasn't the case!

Seeing Wu Yong's embarrassment, Haiwei sneered, "What? Can't explain it? Take your time, I have plenty of time!"

Hearing the icy tone, Wu Yong almost cried...

"Brother Hai, maybe... maybe the thief took another path, right! It must be, took another path!"

"Another path? Tell me, where is this other path?"

"Uh..."

For a moment, Wu Yong really didn't know what to say, because he knew there was only one route to the storeroom!

"Perhaps... perhaps he's invisible!"

"Huh? Invisible?"

Questioning him, Haiwei suddenly raised his hand and slapped him hard.

After thoroughly knocking Wu Yong into a daze, Haiwei said coldly, "Disappear now and show me!"

"I... I... Brother Hai, I know my reckless suspicions were wrong this time, but it's because Chestnut Snake went missing, so I was desperately trying anything!"

"You still have the nerve to mention its disappearance to me! You have twenty minutes to give me an explanation! If you can't give me one after twenty minutes, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"

"I..."

Wu Yong wanted to say something but saw Haiwei walking away directly...

"It's over, I'm done, really done!"

Muttering bitterly to himself, he turned and looked at the large crowd...

Soon, he said with a crumpled smile, "Misunderstanding! It was all a misunderstanding earlier, I... I shouldn't have doubted you... Please forgive me!"

At this moment, Wu Yong really didn't want to apologize, but he had to because he knew he would need them soon!

Upon hearing Wu Yong's apology, they spoke up!

"Researcher Wu, no need for apologies, we each have our own positions!"

"Yes!"

"That's right!"

Hearing this, Wu Yong breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly, his face turned extremely ugly!

The reason was that he saw these people quickly turning to leave.

Quickly, he hurriedly spoke, "Everyone... you're... you're planning to go where?"

"That's none of your business!"

"Exactly!"

After this cold response, they quickened their pace...

Seeing this scene, Wu Yong's eyes twitched wildly, knowing that he had truly offended all of them earlier!

"So frustrating!"

He rubbed his nose and sighed silently!

Soon, he gloomily headed alone to the room where Chestnut Snake disappeared, knowing he had to find it now, or his life would be completely over!

No!

Not just this life, the next dozen lives would be over too!

...

"Can't find it, still can't find it!"

After thoroughly searching every inch of the room, he looked hopelessly at the sky...

At this moment, Wu Yong was truly desperate...

This second, he returned to the edge of the hole...

He knew now that Chestnut Snake definitely crawled away from here!

He just couldn't figure out how Chestnut Snake managed to create a hole here.

"Could it be... could it be that someone was outside assisting?"

The moment this thought appeared, he remembered Hu Xiaobei and Sun Zhengzheng who had left here earlier!

"Right, Sun Zhengzheng is very familiar with this place, so it should be him who came here quietly. Yes, definitely!"

Muttering crazily to himself, he quickly ran from here!

At this moment, he felt he must tell Haiwei the news quickly...

Haiwei had returned to the office!

At this moment, he felt as if he had swallowed a fly, disgusted to the extreme...

"Damn it, can't I ever get lucky? Why am I so unlucky!"

Screaming crazily, he heard urgent footsteps and quickly raised his head; the next second, he saw Wu Yong coming!

Before, upon seeing Wu Yong come here, he would definitely be all smiles!

But now, seeing this guy, his only thought was to kick him to death!

Controlling that impulse, Haiwei said coldly, "You're here? Have you figured out what happened? Where did that moneymaker go?"

"Brother Hai is still angry!"

Muttering in this way, he said with a big smile, "Brother Hai, I know you're angry now, but don't rush; listen as I explain carefully!"

"Alright! Go on, I'm listening!"

"Okay!"

Nodding quickly, he said venomously in a low voice, "Previously, I was wrong to suspect those people; I think it was taken by others!"

"Others? Who? Those security guards?"

"No! Not those security guards, it was Sun Zhengzheng and that guy called Hu Xiaobei!"

"Huh? Them? Why say that?"

Seeing Haiwei's slight interest, Wu Yong continued venomously, "Only they have a motive to steal it, and you know Sun Zhengzheng is very familiar with our place!"

"He's indeed very familiar with this place, but even so, he couldn't have avoided the cameras, right?"

"I know, I mean maybe he secretly dug a hole in the corner before and took it away!"

"Saying so, that might be possible! Alright, you go prepare, we're going to find them and get a thorough explanation!"

Upon hearing Haiwei's instructions, he slightly twitched his eyes and whispered, "But... Brother Hai, that Chestnut Snake originally belonged to them! How do we question them now?"
