Chapter 68 -68: Why Waste Words? Just Check the Surveillance
Song Xiao was shocked, his handsome features contorted together.
He did not move his feet, but stood guard like a knight beside his princess.
Yu Qing, looking at Zhang Yanyan struggling ceaselessly in the river, was in a panic.
There was a lifebuoy hanging on the deck railing, and she quickly pulled it down and tossed it onto the river.
But Zhang Yanyan was just a landlubber; after floundering a bit, she completely lost her balance, and her head submerged in the water.
“Wuu wuu wuu… help… help…”
Yu Qing cried while watching the disappearing figure in the river.
Many people quickly ran out from the banquet hall, some heroically did not hesitate, took off their suit jackets, and leaped into the river.
Seeing the first person jump, a few more men followed suit, removed their suits, and one by one jumped into the water.
Those unaware of the truth formed a circle and watched, whispering and talking amongst themselves.
“What happened here?”
“That woman pushed the other woman into the river.”
“No way, killing someone in public? That’s ruthless, isn’t it?”
“What’s going on? Isn’t that young master Song?”
Someone recognized Song Xiao, instantly generating a brainstorm of ideas.
“Why is young master Song standing with the murderer? Oh no! Could this be a love triangle gone wrong?”
“Tsk tsk tsk, you might be right, it’s really possible.”
Song Xiao’s reputation with women was well-known; he had many flings, changing partners almost every week.
Standing next to him, Jiang Man was naturally assumed to be his companion.
“Really speechless, what’s with these two women? They’ve even followed him to a matchmaking banquet?”
“If you ask me, the main culprit is young master Song, with so many women around him, why come to matchmake at all?”
As everyone discussed continuously, almost spinning a dramatic soap opera, Zhang Yanyan was rescued by two men.
“Cough cough cough…”
Zhang Yanyan, like a drenched chicken, was soaked all over, her clothes heavy and sagging, sticking to her body making it hard to walk.
She spit out the water in her mouth, and raising her eyes, she glared fiercely at Jiang Man, pointed at her, and said viciously, “Everyone be my witness, she attempted murder!”
Jiang Man stood there coldly, her calmness uncharacteristic of her age.
She scoffed, irritation in her voice: “The villain sues first?”
“I won’t say much! I’m calling the police!” Zhang Yanyan felt herself, only then realizing her phone was gone.
Could it have fallen into the river?
“Qingqing, you call the police for me!”
“…Okay.” Yu Qing was momentarily stunned, thought about it, and hesitantly took out her phone, ready to dial 110.
Jiang Man sneered, still serene.
“I advise you two to look up there before calling the police.”
Her voice was cold, light as smoke.
People looked along her gaze, and suddenly exclaimed, “There’s a surveillance camera; why not just pull up the footage to see what really happened?”
“Exactly! If it was really an attempted murder, that would be the evidence!”
“Go find the captain, have him pull up the surveillance footage!”
Zhang Yanyan looked up at the CCTV camera not far away, and her whole person jolted as if struck by lightning.
“I think there’s no need for the surveillance… It’s all a misunderstanding.”
It was her who had intended to kill!
The surveillance footage was not evidence of her being murdered, but evidence of her attempting to murder someone else!
“A misunderstanding?” Jiang Man snorted, raising her eyebrows.
“Yes, a misunderstanding.” Zhang Yanyan quickly changed her expression, forcing a smile.
Since the phone had already fallen into the river, there was no evidence against her.
“Beauty, she tried to kill you, and you’re thinking of forgiving her?”
“Exactly, how is it just a misunderstanding? That surveillance footage is the evidence!”
A crowd of onlookers played the role of justice advocates, unanimously voicing their indignation for Zhang Yanyan.
The two gentlemen who had rescued Zhang Yanyan were moved by compassion and pity.
“Are you too afraid to offend Song Xiao, so you changed your story?”
“Even if he is Lu Xingzhou’s brother, so what? There are some messes Lu Xingzhou won’t bother with, rest assured!”
Zhang Yanyan felt like going crazy.
She had already been humiliated by falling into the water, and now, just to avoid social suicide, a whole crowd was frantically gaslighting her!
“Song Shao, we must check the surveillance footage; otherwise, even jumping into the Yellow River won’t clear our names.”
Jiang Man had no patience to continue watching Zhang Yanyan act, casually stuffing her hands into her pockets, she spoke indifferently.
Song Xiao gave her a reassuring look, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”
Soon, the captain hurried over upon hearing the news.
Upon realizing he was dealing with the grandson of the calligraphy master Song Wenzhi and the best friend of the CEO of Lu Corporation, how could he dare to show any negligence?
“Then please follow me to the surveillance room?”
Song Xiao and Jiang Man followed behind the captain.

Seeing this, the others also followed one after another.
Only Yu Qing and Zhang Yanyan were left behind.
“Yanyan, what should we do now? You’re definitely going to suffer social death later.” Yu Qing clutched her phone, her nails digging into the screen forcefully.
Zhang Yanyan had no ideas by then, and she hadn’t anticipated things would turn out this way.
“If it’s social death, so be it…”
She appeared resigned.
The surveillance camera was hung so high; it might not capture anything anyway.
If it captured nothing, later she could stand her ground again, shout about calling the police, accusing Jiang Man of murder.
With this stroke of wishful thinking, Zhang Yanyan didn’t hesitate much, and hurriedly caught up with the distant group.
…
The surveillance room was large, containing over twenty machines.
The captain located the camera that recorded the incident and directed the security to search through the footage.
The onlookers stretched their necks curiously.
Most of them were just there for the spectacle, not caring about the actual truth, only wanting to join in the excitement.
Jiang Man stood coldly on the side, Zhang Yanyan facing her.
Throughout the process, Zhang Yanyan’s gaze was evasive, her heart wildly hoping nothing was captured.
“Wrong angle… look, the very spot where the incident happened is a blind spot, not within the range…”
The security felt troubled.
That is to say, whether Jiang Man intentionally committed murder then only depended on witnesses, without any physical evidence.
And the witnesses were Song Xiao and Yu Qing.
“Weren’t you two at the scene? What exactly happened?” someone inquired of them.
Song Xiao glared at the person, “This crazy woman tried to push Manman into the water, and Manman was merely defending herself.”
“I… I don’t know… I was too scared at the time to see clearly…” Yu Qing didn’t want to offend anyone.
“What self-defense, you’re really good at making excuses for her! I was the one who fell into the water! I was the one almost drowned!” Since there was no evidence anyway.
Zhang Yanyan suddenly became bolder, thinking this issue couldn’t let Jiang Man off so lightly.
She had swallowed a bellyful of river water plus the three slaps from yesterday; today, she would claim them all back!
“Well, you jump into the river and stay for a minute, then I can let this go.”
“You want Manman to jump into the river?” Song Xiao was on the verge of exploding.
Where did this fearless woman come from, daring to ask Manman to jump into the river?
Wasn’t she afraid that Lu Xingzhou would find out afterward and skin her alive!
“Yes! If she’s willing to jump, then we can turn the page on this matter!” Zhang Yanyan recalled Jiang Man’s demeanor at Hu’s Hot Pot yesterday.
Once Jiang Man actually did it, she would go back on her word.
By then, she would say three more slaps were required to completely calm her down, and only then the matter would be truly resolved!
The more Zhang Yanyan thought about it, the more gleeful she felt, her lips curling up, her face a picture of ugliness.
She waited for Jiang Man to appear as pitiful as she had yesterday.
But to her surprise, Jiang Man didn’t entertain her at all, “Call the police.”
Without waiting for the crowd’s reaction, Jiang Man activated the speakerphone and dialed 110…
