861: Chapter 860: Time is a Slaughter Knife!

Sure enough!

Before the car even reached the clothing city, the driver reported the latest situation.

The police had dismantled the ceiling above the fitting room and found a pinhole surveillance camera inside the hollowed-out ceiling decor.

The camera had a dedicated data cable that connected directly to the shop owner’s computer.

Hence, it could be controlled to start recording or turn off at any time, and the videos it captured were all saved on the computer’s hard drive.

The police had confiscated videos recorded while other female customers changed their clothes.

As for whether the shop owner had backed up the videos to the cloud or engaged in profiting from selling the footage…

the investigation was still ongoing.

It was very obvious.

Chu Yunxuan’s vigilance had saved herself, preventing the leak of her privacy.

But the other female customers…

had suffered a tragedy.

It was unknown how long the shop owner had been secretly recording or whether he had sold any videos.

But after all, Wu Jie had an experienced driver, the ‘Black Pupil King’ Xu Wei, by his side.

Xu Wei had mentioned before that videos could be bought online.

In general, those taken in hotels and motels, containing actual encounters were pricier.

Especially if the female lead was beautiful with a good figure, and the footage had clear dialogue and high-definition quality…

these were relatively more expensive.

Some videos of model-level beauties could even sell for hundreds of yuan each.

Of course, if one was lucky enough to come across videos of powerful, influential, and famous individuals, those would be priceless.

There had been news stories before about someone who obtained videos of two corrupt officials having affairs and repeatedly blackmailed them.

When the forest grows, all sorts of birds will fly in!

Otherwise, why would there be that classic line, “No trade, no harm”?

…

After a while.

They arrived at the clothing city.

It was really just a row of street-facing shops, selling various kinds of clothing, shoes, and hats.

Bailing County’s county seat was nestled against mountains and rivers, with a very small urban area and not a large permanent population.

There couldn’t be any luxury brand counters or high-end department stores.

The women’s clothing store where the incident occurred was noticed from a distance.

The entrance was blocked by the project department’s off-road vehicles and police cars, with crowds of onlookers surrounding the police tape.

It wasn’t clear what the latest developments inside were, but these spectators were all abuzz with discussion.

Buying clothes definitely requires trying them on, and the biggest advantage of a physical store over an online store is the ability to try on clothes in person.

But now…

This biggest advantage could easily lead to privacy breaches.

How could the people who came to the clothing city to buy clothes not empathize and be filled with righteous indignation?

Especially those female customers who had previously bought and tried on clothes at this women’s clothing store—they virtually had murderous intent.

Of course.

Other women’s clothing stores, especially lingerie shops, had owners and sales staff who were also feeling a sense of danger.

The impact of this incident was too negative, making customers distrustful, so how could business continue?

They wouldn’t install peeping devices themselves, but what if some hooligan installed them secretly?

While this case was still under investigation, many shop owners had already started to voluntarily inspect their premises.

…

There were too many people.

If Wu Jie made an appearance, it would likely cause a huge sensation.

So the project manager volunteered to go into the shop to find out what was happening.

After a while.

Chu Yunxuan came out first, accompanied by police officers.

As an exceptionally beautiful woman, her appearance immediately caused quite a stir, as if a star had appeared.

From behind the car window, Wu Jie saw that many passersby were raising their mobile phones to take pictures.

However, Chu Yunxuan used a briefcase to shield herself and, instead of getting into the police car to leave, she went into another women’s clothing store, accompanied by police officers.

When the two of them came out, Chu Yunxuan had already changed out of the lady’s white shirt with the popped button and into a relatively looser short-sleeve T-shirt, after which she got into the project department’s off-road vehicle.

Soon, Wu Jie’s phone rang.

It was Chu Yunxuan calling.

“Jie, I need to go to the police station to make a statement.

You go ahead and eat…”

“I know, I’m in the black sedan right across from you.

Don’t be afraid of anything, the Group and I are your strong support!”

“Mm, I know.

Luckily, I checked before trying it on, otherwise I would have definitely been recorded…”

In Chu Yunxuan’s eyes, she belonged exclusively to Wu Jie.

Her body was for Wu Jie alone to see and possess.

How could she allow others to see?

In such a small county town’s small women’s clothing store, one had to be more vigilant than in the large, regular malls of big cities.

After all, she was also a former female top student at Tianyuan University of Technology and had become the sales director through her own efforts in selling properties.

She understood very well that human nature could be sinister, so naturally, her vigilance was a bit stronger than the average woman.

Wu Jie comforted and praised her until…

The police escorted the suspect out.

“Let’s leave it at that, stay calm and cooperate with the investigation!”

Hanging up the phone, Wu Jie couldn’t help but lower the car window a bit and took a closer look at the criminal shop owner.

She was under police supervision, locking the shop door and handing over the keys.

“This guy, why does he look so much like Yao Chenbing!”

Wu Jie’s brows knitted slightly as he muttered to himself in silence.

In his high school memories, Yao Chenbing was the heaviest girl in the class.

Being overweight meant she was well-developed, so the boys in the class had privately nicknamed her “Milk Cow.”

During PE class, the boys loved watching her run…

Now that he thought about it, all that was many years ago.

Many people are actually like this, from elementary to middle to high school and then on to university…

They had many classmates, and those with mediocre grades and average relationships were quickly forgotten.

Years later, they only remembered those with whom they had good relations or who made a strong impression.

Yao Chenbing was the “Milk Cow” in Wu Jie’s student days memory.

Most crucially, Wu Jie remembered that Yao Chenbing’s family was in the clothing business.

It was her parents who did business in the county seat of his hometown that sent her to study.

She was always dressed flashily, had a cell phone, and snacks, arousing much envy among the less fortunate students.

But now…

Seeing her silhouette, Wu Jie had a bad premonition.

Indeed.

The moment she turned around, Wu Jie instantly felt as if his memories were destroyed.

In high school, though Yao Chenbing was chubby, her baby fat was quite cute.

The boys would whistle and make faces at her, and she would blush shyly, extremely mortified.

But now…

Time really is a butcher’s knife, huh!

The former baby fat had now turned into rolls of obesity.

Plump and round, large and intimidating.

Elephant legs!

A large belly!

Her chest looked as if it had two large volleyballs hanging, and on her chubby neck sat a round head.

Her face was covered with thick folds, and she had put on a garish lipstick.

Her head sported a rural, non-mainstream perm that added to her wildness.

This figure, this vibe…

Could it be that after high school, she really went on to study at a sports college, practicing weightlifting and sumo wrestling?

Wu Jie didn’t roll the car window down completely.

From across the street, he watched her get into the police car, feeling the vehicle sink sharply as she boarded.

That weight…

it surely must have increased the fuel consumption significantly!

Afterward, the police sealed the women’s clothing store and moved all evidence such as computers and cameras away.

The project manager returned.

As soon as he got in the car, he spoke angrily,

“That female store owner insists she didn’t take those for selling, but to enjoy them at leisure.

That bullshit…

If she were a man, I might believe it, but a woman spying on customers just for appreciation…

Ridiculous!”

Wu Jie asked out of curiosity, “What’s her name?

It wouldn’t be Yao Chenbing, would it?”

The manager was visibly startled.

“Holy shit!

Mr.

Wu, you…

you’re too awesome!

Are you clairvoyant?

How did you know she…”

Wu Jie interjected, “She’s my high school classmate.

I just recognized her!”

“But let’s keep it between us for now; however the case should be handled, let it be handled!”

The manager nodded repeatedly, “That makes sense.

With the locals running businesses in this small county and Mr.

Wu being a local as well, of a similar age, it’s natural that you could be classmates or schoolmates!”

Wu Jie laughed self-deprecatingly, “Bailing County Middle isn’t great, but many students are still willing to go to my alma mater.

The poorer the area, the greater the emphasis on exam-oriented education, so the higher the university entrance rate!”

As they spoke, the sedan slowly caught up with the SUV.

After arriving at the police station, Wu Jie still didn’t show himself, choosing to wait inside the car in the yard.

Wu Jie didn’t want to reveal his classmate relationship, but Yao Chenbing was quickly found.

During the interrogation and taking of her statement, the police sternly warned her that her spying behavior had nearly infringed upon the privacy of important figures.

Those were the executives from Bing City’s West Mountain Expressway Company, people from Tanglong Industrial Group.

They were nobly constructing the expressway for the benefit of the locals, but Yao Chenbing had committed such indecent and shameless acts, virtually disgracing all the fathers and fellow villagers of Bailing County.

With such a statement, Yao Chenbing retorted that she and the now renowned Mr.

Wu of Tanglong Industrial Group were high school classmates!

It was just that they had lost contact after graduation, and it was possible that he might even personally come to plead with her!

Moreover, she had neither successfully spied on Chu Yunxuan nor infringed on her privacy, nor had she distributed or sold the footage to make money.

Therefore, her crime at most amounted to being unlawful but not criminal.

She had previously looked it up online, determining that it was a minor offense, meriting only a five hundred yuan fine and a detention of three to five days.

How could such a deliberate violation of the law be considered a minor offense?

Having offended an important investor and affected the reputation of numerous businesses in the clothing city, even if she apologized, admitted her mistake, and confessed voluntarily, she still must be punished severely, with detention of at least ten days.

By the time the case was wrapped up and he returned to the project office, it was already one-thirty in the morning.

The full start of work was scheduled for the next day, and Wu Jie still had to visit a few businesses that hadn’t signed yet.

So, after dinner, he hurriedly boarded the helicopter to visit the third party.

The helicopter took less than ten minutes to reach a small mountain village.

Informed in advance, the village officials immediately arranged for people to come to meet them.

In the farmyard, several people surrounded Elder Chen, earnestly and kindly persuading him.

Upon hearing the situation, both Wu Jie and Chu Yunxuan were somewhat taken aback.

The stubborn Elder Chen, whose daughter Yao Chenbing had just been detained, was anxious to ride to the county town.

Seeing Wu Jie, Elder Chen got more excited, insisting that Wu Jie find his daughter a match, any man would do.

Or arrange for her to work in the group, otherwise, he just wouldn’t sign.

Damn it!

How could he possibly find a match for his ‘thousand-pound miss’ without making life difficult for somebody?
