Second update,

...

Actually, the location where the video was stored wasn't very far from here, just about seventy to eighty meters away in an outdoor paid parking lot.

A van was parked there, having undergone some simple modifications, and its interior was equipped with electronic transmitters and receivers capable of capturing the video signals from the cameras.

His laptop was merely an intermediary device; although it could display the content captured, it could only show live broadcasts at most.

To review the entire process, he had to come here to retrieve the stored hard drive.

Due to signal transmission limitations, the receivers couldn't be situated too far from the cameras. Plus, the open-air parking lot offered minimal signal interference, naturally making it the optimal location.

As the parking lot was fee-based, as long as one paid enough, there would be no problem leaving a car there for many days, and with someone watching, theft wasn't a concern…

Of course, regarding his clunky old van, thieves probably wouldn't spare a second glance at such a piece of junk.

This was Wei Suo's entire covert filming plan. It wasn't flawless, but it had virtually no significant loopholes – at least to the average person unaware of his scheme, it would be impossible to guard against.

Even Qin Fang, who was generally very cautious, had previously been tricked by him. Had it not been for a bout of insomnia that led him to stare blankly at the ceiling, he might never have discovered those cameras.

By the time Wei Suo fixed the computer and took away the hard drive, all the extremely compromising videos and photos of him and Chu Yunxuan would have truly been exposed.

Even if they weren't exposed, they would be subject to Wei Suo's viewing pleasure, and then…

Thinking of his peculiar hobbies, Qin Fang couldn't help but make a strange expression. He wanted to curse at the guy, but truly didn't know where to begin…

Now that Qin Fang was aware of Wei Suo's entire plan, he naturally knew some of the details, such as the unusual secret signals he had arranged with the parking lot – meant to prevent the secret from leaking. Qin Fang wasn't troubled by these either.

After finding the van and locating the storage hard drive inside it, Qin Fang inspected it several times very carefully to ensure there were no oversights before returning to the hotel.

Wei Suo hadn't fled. Although he truly wanted to leave and seek medical help, his body was in such pain that any movement caused him excruciating agony. He had no choice but to stay put obediently.

"You..."

However, when Qin Fang returned wielding the hard drive, Wei Suo's face instantly turned green.

Qin Fang was supposed to know nothing, and Wei Suo hadn't mentioned anything about this hard drive, yet Qin Fang had found it. It was utterly surprising, almost like seeing a ghost.

"If you don't want to take another beating, just stay put…"

With a fierce glare, Qin Fang roared, instantly making Wei Suo shrink back like a frightened bird, tucking his neck and hiding, not daring to move a muscle for fear of Qin Fang's foot striking him again.

Meanwhile, Qin Fang connected the hard drive to the computer and began pulling up the stored video data, searching for the parts featuring him and Chu Yunxuan…

These videos certainly couldn't be allowed to spread. If confirmed that the videos were stored on this hard drive, not only would he destroy the videos but also the hard drive itself.

The capacity of the hard drive was enormous, a whole 1TB. Although videos take up a lot of storage space, that was rather limited compared to such a large capacity.

The cameras had been operational for two hours, and each camera had recorded several gigabytes of video; together, nearly ten cameras had not accumulated more than 100GB.

Before opening the specific video directories, Qin Fang made sure to check the storage content on the hard drive.

Over 700GB!

This 1TB capacity hard drive already had over 700GB of data stored on it, while the videos of him and Chu Yunxuan wouldn't amount to more than 100GB at most.

Meaning that, in addition to the video data he planned to destroy, there were some other files stored here.

Qin Fang was also a bit curious about how much stuff this guy had stored inside, so he immediately clicked to have a look.

The large-capacity hard drive was clearly divided into several files, conveniently arranged by month. Since it was November, which was also the latest month, Qin Fang unhesitatingly opened that month's folder.

Inside the folder were several more, still sorted by date. Qin Fang chose the most recent one based on today's date and saw a long list of video files.

Each video file had its own number, which Qin Fang noticed seemed to be differentiated by the surveillance camera's identifier.

For instance, the camera by the entrance was labeled A01, followed by A02 and A03 in the living room, and then the two bedrooms were assigned B01, B02 and C01, C02 respectively. The focus was on the bathroom's D01, D02, D03, D04, as well as the E01 that was placed on the balcony and had not been discovered.

"Hmm, D04?"

Coming across this, Qin Fang was puzzled for a moment. He had searched the bathroom and found only three cameras, but here the file showed there were four videos—indicating a fourth camera he had missed.

Realizing this, Qin Fang paid special attention to the overlooked camera. He checked the video file sizes, and while the other three were roughly similar, one was clearly smaller. The problem must lie with that one.

Hesitating for a moment, Qin Fang clicked on the video file he had ignored.

Of course, Qin Fang didn't forget to keep an eye on Wei Suo, who, frightened by the prospect of getting caught peeping, quickly hid away, terrified of suffering another beating given his already "severely injured" state.

Qin Fang silenced his laptop and watched in mute mode, also adjusting the angle so Wei Suo couldn't see anything...

Watching the video, Qin Fang's expression was indescribably odd; he also figured out the installation spot of the camera—it was by the massage tub.

It appeared to have been soaked by the water in the tub and then malfunctioned. As for the content of the video, it happened to stop right when Qin Fang's weapon penetrated Chu Yunxuan's exquisite haven—just as the head was barely in, the footage abruptly ended...

What happened next, whether it went in or not, left a tremendous cliffhanger...

If this were a movie, there's no doubt such a setup would provoke a lot of cursing from the audience, but it would also successfully spark their imagination...

Yet, Qin Fang couldn't find it amusing because the video stopped there, and he couldn't prove that he hadn't gone all the way in... or to be precise, only half-way in... just a tiny bit. Strictly speaking, he hadn't engaged in the most direct intimate act with Chu Yunxuan.

But the problem was, if Chu Yunxuan saw it, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't cleanse him; no one would believe him...

Despite his frustration, Qin Fang immediately brought up the other three bathroom videos, hoping to gather evidence from different angles that he hadn't deeply violated Chu Yunxuan.

He quickly scanned the other three videos; two of them, due to their angles, didn't capture the scene, and only one recorded a bit, though not clearly. At most, it barely matched up with the time when Qin Fang carried Chu Yunxuan out of the bathroom—that was the only piece of side evidence he had.

After reviewing a few other videos related to himself and Chu Yunxuan, Qin Fang felt quite relieved.

Luckily he had found them because if these had leaked, while not as explicit as some hardcore footage out there, the level of exposure was still significant.

The key point was that Chu Yunxuan was too beautiful; such risqué videos of such a beauty would definitely cause a sensation. Probably countless otakus would secretly download them, wiping out much of male vitality...

Fortunately, the videos were recovered and did not spread, so Qin Fang could rest easy, at least providing Chu Yunxuan with some explanation.

In fact, Qin Fang knew that he and Chu Yunxuan were innocent "casualties," not the actual targets of Wei Suo's plan, which was aimed at a corrupt government official.

That man was a notorious official from Jincheng, perhaps viewed by senior leaders as a capable and ambitious subordinate, but at the grassroots level, he was infamous, cursed by countless citizens.

Wei Suo came into contact with this man by chance and after a detailed investigation discovered that he was having a secret affair with a married woman. The hotel owner was on good terms with him, and room 518 on the top floor was almost his private room, where he usually stayed.

That's why Wei Suo came to work at this hotel and quickly secured his position relying on his comprehensive skills. He then carefully rigged the room, aiming for perfection.

Today, he had received news that the corrupt official would meet his lover here for some adult content, which is why Wei Suo had requested to be on duty.

But unexpectedly, that man didn't show up, and Wei Suo waited in vain, frustrated to the point of falling asleep, when Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan appeared...

Thus, the situation developed to its current state... so to say, Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan were truly innocent, just taking bullets for others. Thankfully, the matter hadn't gone completely out of hand. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets.
