CHAPTER 448: CHAPTER 448: FOUND A CLUE

"If I remember correctly, wasn’t the first item auctioned bought by the Guo Family’s young master?"

"Yes, his name is something like Guo Hongyu, right?"

"Exactly, Guo Hongyu. Mr. Li, do you know who Guo Hongyu is?"

"I always feel like I’ve heard this name before, but I can’t remember where."

"If you find the name unfamiliar, let me remind you of someone, Guo Tao—you should know him, right?"

"Guo Tao? What does he have to do with Guo Tao? Is he, is he, is he Guo Tao’s grandson?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fu suddenly widened his eyes.

He had never thought that this matter would be related to Guo Tao.

"Yes, he is indeed Guo Tao’s grandson. That’s why I paid special attention when he came this time, hoping he could acquire the item. Moreover, do you know the significance of this item for the Guo Family?"

"If that’s the case, then I can guess that this item really belongs to the Guo Family. It has just been abroad for a long time, and now it has finally been brought back."

"That’s right."

"If so, it seems that Ye Chen has handled this matter very well. Not only do you have to handle it, but I must also become thoroughly involved."

Initially, Li had no intention of dealing with such matters, but now, suddenly hearing it was Guo Tao, his attitude shifted completely.

The name Guo Tao seemed very unfamiliar to Ye Chen.

He didn’t know who this person was, nor what this person meant to them.

He turned to look at Lin Yaru, only seeing that Lin Yaru’s expression was truly serious, probably because of hearing this person’s name.

"I can provide all the surveillance footage, but you must help me thoroughly investigate, and if we really can’t retrieve the Jade Ring, I won’t be able to face the Guo Family. I run just a small auction house; I probably won’t even be able to protect myself."

"Don’t worry, this isn’t just your problem now; it’s mine as well. Let’s go there."

"Okay, I understand."

After finishing the conversation, he stood up and then hurriedly led them into the surveillance room.

"Do you think there’s a possibility that since they’ve come here, they might interfere with their own surveillance, preventing any records from being captured?"

Just after entering, Lin Yaru suddenly thought of this, which had been a worry for her.

"If he decides to sabotage one or two cameras, that’s understandable. However, I just checked the layout; there are 38 cameras set up in total, I don’t believe he could sabotage each one."

"Even if he can’t destroy all the cameras, he would have to tamper with the ones he passed by, right?"

"That’s hard to say, let’s check first whether these data are complete."

As they were talking, professionals began to check everything.

After about 10 minutes, they seemed to have figured something out.

"General Zhang, we’ve checked everything, all surveillance videos are intact and undamaged."

"Great, that’s fantastic. Then Mr. Li, shall we take action now?"

"These guys are really something. The point Ms. Lin just made indeed reminded me. I was also worried that they might have tampered with something in advance, leaving us unable to find any evidence."

"Now that they haven’t done so, it proves that these people are truly audacious. Well then, you guys help search too, let’s look together and if we find any suspicious individuals, we must identify them promptly."

During the conversation, a projection staff member then cast the camera screen onto a large screen.

You know, there are over 30 locations in total, and from the entrance to the end, this is actually a very cumbersome task for them.

But there was no choice, since they had taken over this job, they had to carry on.

After about two hours, they had reviewed about 10 locations.

Their eyes were sore, and they had switched personnel a few times since continuously watching was really too much for one person.

Yet, Lin Yaru and Ye Chen seemed to have their eyes fixed on the screen all along, afraid of missing any crucial details.

"Really, your eyes can’t take this much longer, you should take at least a half-hour rest; I’ll keep watch for you for half an hour."

"No need, who knows what might happen in this half hour, right? Oh, weren’t you supposed to have a night shift tonight?"

Ye Chen suddenly remembered something, and Lin Yaru gently shook her head.

"I’ve already called my colleagues and switched shifts, so I don’t need to go there for now."

"You don’t have to stay here, and even if something suspicious is found, you can’t help much. You should go back to the hospital and take care of your own duties."

"Even if I go back, I wouldn’t be able to put this matter to rest, so let me stay here, it gives me some peace of mind."

Lin Yaru always stayed by Ye Chen’s side during times like this, which touched Ye Chen deeply.

"Wait a minute."

Just then, Ye Chen suddenly noticed something on the screen, yelled out, and quickly, the operator paused the footage there.
