Chapter 75: Checking the Surveillance Footage

Huo Buyu placed his hand on Ye Yao's shoulder. Just as he was about to speak,

Ye Yao pulled away from him so that there was a small distance between them. She shook her head slightly at him, a sly glint in her eyes.

Huo Buyu frowned and stopped himself from taking a step towards her. Forget it, let her do whatever she wants today. Anyway, these people brought it upon themselves. With Ye Yao's ability, anyone who provoked her would be courting death.

This was the first time Huo Buyu had let go of Ye Yao so that she could exercise her ability. The fact was, he was angry too. Ye Yao was Yang Ya's biological daughter. How could she sabotage her own daughter like this?

Ye Yao stood up with a smile and said to Gao Qiao's grandmother, “Hello,

Grandma Gao. First of all, I want to wish you good health and a happy birthday. As for the sapphire they mentioned, I'm innocent. I don't deny that Madam Yang Ya had just shown me the sapphire, but I'm just as confused as to why the sapphire is lost. However, since they suspect me, I'm willing to cooperate with the investigation. I believe that the truth will be revealed so that I may prove my innocence.”

Qin Jiao immediately said, “Since you have nothing to hide, do you dare to let us search your backpack?”

“Of course I dare.” Ye Yao threw her bag to Qin Jiao. Qin Jiao proceeded to pour out the contents of the backpack before everyone. There was a phone, a pen, a notebook, and a handmade flower. There was nothing else.

Qin Jiao's eyes narrowed, and so did Yang Ya's. They could not believe that the item wasn't in Ye Yao's bag.

Ye Yao shrugged. “Are you done? I don't have any sapphires, but there should be surveillance cameras here. Gao Qiao, could you check the surveillance footage.”

Gao Qiao immediately agreed, “Yes, let's check the surveillance footage.” It was very easy to check the surveillance footage. After the surveillance footage was retrieved, Gao Qiao played it in front of everyone, so the scene of Ye Yao and Yang Ya's interaction could be witnessed. In the scene, Yang Ya took out the sapphire and showed it to Ye Yao. Ye Yao looked at it for a while before returning the sapphire to Yang Ya. Yang Ya placed the sapphire on the table and the two of them chatted. Suddenly, Yang Ya and Ye Yao turned around at the same time, as if they had said something. Then, the two of them went separate ways. The sapphire necklace was left on the table, as if it had been forgotten.

When Yang Ya saw this scene, she said to Ye Yao unhappily, “Didn't I ask you to help me look after it? Why didn't you take it with you?”

Ye Yao chuckled. “Madam Yang, you didn't ask me to help you look after it. You just said in front of all these people that you've lost your sapphire, and now you say you had wanted me to look after it. If I had really helped you look after it, I'd never be able to clear my name for stealing.”

Everyone look at Yang Ya strangely when they heard what she'd said. Yang Ya did say that the sapphire was missing just then, which was why she created such a big scene. But now, she claimed she had asked Ye Yao to watch over it. If that were the case, why didn't she mention it earlier? Why did she want to search Ye Yao's backpack?

Yang Ya's expression was ugly. The surveillance footage was still playing. Now, it showed a waitress walking over. When she saw the sapphire, she looked around and picked it up. She swaggered out and never returned. However, as she was leaving, she bumped into someone. This person was Ye Sui.

Ye Yao raised her eyebrows when she saw this. “Ye Sui, you just said that you saw me taking the sapphire. Which eye of yours saw it?”

Ye Sui did not expect to be so unfortunate with the surveillance footage. In fact, she had no idea what had happened. It was Qin Jiao who called her and asked her to come over. She had not expected this.

Ye Sui started, “I…”

She was interrupted by Gao Qiao. “What do you have to say now! You were so sure that Ye Yao took the sapphire. You must be in cahoots with that waiter! I just confirmed with the hotel manager that the waitress was hired at the last minute. You and that waitress are in cahoots, right? Quickly hand over the sapphire, or I'll send you to the police station!”

“It wasn't me!” Ye Sui was instantly anxious. How was she going to face the elite social circle in the future, if she were to be sent to the police station? Hence, she simply confessed everything. “I don't know anything. I don't know anything about this! I wasn't qualified to attend this event in the first place. Qin Jiao asked me to come over and even told me that she wanted to testify against Ye Yao. I only accused Ye Yao because I have a grudge against her. I had no idea what Qin Jiao was up to! That's all I know. It was Qin Jiao who asked me to do it. There are surveillance cameras outside. If you don't believe me, you can checkt the surveillance footage..”
