As of now, the video had been paused. Someone had to press the button for the video to play.

However, the paused footage was an image of Jian Yiling and Jian Yunnao. The two of them appeared to be in the middle of an argument.

This was the missing surveillance video from Heyunshan Resort.

The Jian family couldnt believe their eyes. The missing footage that theyd been desperately searching for had appeared right in front of them.

The person who was in charge of the resorts surveillance had also appeared with the missing footage.

The truth was right in front of them. All they needed to do was press the play button. Then, the truth would be unveiled.

Jian Shuxings fingers trembled as he reached out to press the button.

Wen Nuan and Jian Yuncheng stood behind him. Their eyes were all fixated on the small screen

Scenes flashed by on the computer screen

The scenes ranged from the argument to the fall to the girl who cried on the ground out of fear and numbness due to the fact that she had failed to save her brother.

She had been terrified.

She could only look at her brothers figure that had fallen over a pile of glass shards. She didnt know what to do. She was utterly terrified and helpless.

She was at fault. She should have never dragged her brother into an argument in such a dangerous location.

In fact, she probably shouldnt have had that argument in the first place.

However, she never ever had wanted to push her own brother down the stairs.

Even in the moment of danger, her instinctive reaction was to pull her brother back up. She wanted to protect him.

When Wen Nuan saw the image play out in front of her, she covered her mouth and started crying.

She became unsteady on her feet. Jian Yuncheng had to hold her up.

Yiling, Yiling My poor daughter Wen Nuan cried out.

Jian Shuxing stood there in a daze. His heart ached. It felt as though it was being tortured.

It was the sort of pain that reached his bones. The kind of pain that made it difficult to breathe.

Their daughter She hadnt done anything to hurt her family.

She had been wrongly accused.

Other than her initial attempt to justify herself, she hadnt said anything.

Instead, she quietly accepted the accusation.

She had been wronged. Slandered against. And hurt.

And she took all of it. Her small body had to bear all of it.

She had been their favorite child! The child that had been treasured the most.

In an instant, their hearts had become overwhelmed with guilt and self-recrimination.

However, Wen Nuan wasnt the only one who couldnt handle the truth. Jian Shuxing also felt that the truth was suffocating him.

Jian Yilings obedience had turned into hundreds of sharp thorns that pierced deep into their hearts.

One by one.

The ends of those thorns were like needles. They cut deep into their hearts and drew blood.

Jian Yunchengs fists were clenched tightly together. The veins that ran across the back of his hands had risen up.

Where is Yiling right now? Jian Yuncheng asked. His voice sounded low and depressed.

In the face of their pain, the man still responded professionally:

Miss Jian has other matters to deal with. Young Master Yuncheng, you dont have to worry about her.

Who are you guys? Jian Yuncheng asked. If he wanted to figure out the whereabouts of Jian Yiling, he had to first figure out the identity of the people in front of him.

The man smiled slightly before responding, Miss Jian is doing a favor for my Master. In return, she requested us to help her retrieve the evidence that would prove her innocence.

The man didnt directly tell Jian Yuncheng who they were. However, from his manner of speaking, Jian Yuncheng could tell that his Master was not a simple person.

However, that wasnt the main focus of the Jian family right now. They wanted to know where Jian Yiling was. They wanted to know whether or not she was safe.

Furthermore, Miss Jian said that for now, theres no need to tell Jian Yunnao.

The man in the suit did as he was told. He repeated Jian Yilings exact words.

Theres no need to tell Jian Yunnao

Theres no need

Even at this moment, it seemed as though Jian Yiling still didnt want to completely destroy Jian Yunnao.

She still wanted to give him a glimmer of life.

She wanted to wait until he recovered. Until he regained his hope. Then, she was going to tell him the bloody truth.
