Qiao Lian halted and froze.

Shen Liangchuan was speaking in a very low and soft voice, as though afraid that someone would overhear them.

For reasons unknown to even herself, she gulped, stood still outside the door and did not reenter the room.

A thought flashed through her mind.

If there was a person who was familiar with things around the house and who had unrestricted access to Shen Liangchuan's study… it would have to be Song Yuanxi and almost no one else.

Song Yuanxi… Song Yuanxi again.

She had the nagging feeling that she had overlooked something as another thought eluded her in a flash.

She immediately shook her head. No, she should trust Shen Liangchuan. Shen Liangchuan had said that the perpetrator wasn't Song Yuanxi. If he said it wasn't her, then it couldn't have been her.

Concerning the fact that Shen Liangchuan had asked this question now, surely he had his own reasons for it.

Qiao Lian tried hard to convince herself. She took in a deep breath and listened quietly to the conversation in the study.

Xia Yehua paused for a while before she said, ”No… no she didn't.”

But that tone… there was underlying guilt in that tone.

Shen Liangchuan asked again suspiciously, ”She really didn't?”

Unable to keep up the lie, Xia Yehua finally caved and said, ”Only ten minutes! She spoke with me for a little while, then took a few things and left. Sigh… Even if you punish her, this is her home too. Can't she come back for a short while?”

Shen Liangchuan's said with a grave expression, ”What time was it when she came back?”

Xia Yehua thought briefly and replied, ”Yesterday afternoon, around half past four.”

Around half past four.

Qiao Lian widened her eyes as she realized. The missing 10-minute segment in the video recording had been around half past four!

This would mean…

Before she could clarify this in her own head, she heard footsteps approaching from inside the study.
