75 Secret Revealed (1/2)

When Dongmei entered the surveillance room without any hesitation, the guards quickly stood up while acting eager to help, not expecting such a visit at all, ”Ah! Miss Guan! How can we help you?” Everyone knew Dongmei could do anything she wanted in this prison so they didn't dare to reject her wishes.

She was still shaken by what just happened but decided to keep it cool until she confirms her crazy theory with some further investigation. Walking up to the two technicians, Dongmei pointed at the multiple consoles and screens, ordering them without wasting time, ”Teach me how to search and play something that happened a few days ago.

They looked quite taken aback but they both quickly woke up and quickly responded while giving her the main chair, ”Of course! Miss, please sit down first and we will teach you right away.” Dongmei looked at the old chair but she naturally didn't mind that and sat down on the edge, looking at all the screens in front of her.

As a doctor, she was used to getting dirty so some dust wasn't scary to her. She wasn't raised as a princess with a golden spoon as her father was really strict on her, providing her with daily army training since young.

Taking over the mouse, the technician entered the files with all their data and explained, ”Firstly, Miss has to find the day Miss wants to view in this folder before choosing the camera that interests you. Each day is stored in a different disc due to the huge space needed. They have all been named accordingly to the place in the record.”

Clicking on the corridor camera video from yesterday, a new window opened on the screen and technician continued, ”Here Miss has a nice programme to view the whole day recorded just outside this room. Miss can scroll on the timeline and pause wherever Miss wants. The whole process is really easy. Miss should quickly learn how to handle it.”

The two technicians explained the basics really respectfully, quite worried they would offend her and just as they were about to explain further about other features of the programme, Dongmei stopped them, saying, ”I got it now. I think I can handle it now. You are free to go.”

Hearing about Dongmei's plans to kick her out, the two technicians scratched their heads, finding themselves in a tricky situation. One of them braced himself and pointed out the important rule, ”Miss… We are not allowed to leave this room else we would be in real trouble… In case anything is deleted and destroyed, we will be the ones accountable…”

Naturally, Dongmei frowned when she heard it and called out, tapping the desk annoyed with her nails, ”So you are saying I will only delete and destroy the recordings if you leave me alone?” The technicians couldn't help but pale hearing such accusations. They did think about that but they couldn't openly say it to Dongmei.

Before they figured out how to counter that, Dongmei glared at them and explained sternly, ”If I were to delete and destroy the whole data in this room, no one will say anything. You don't have to worry about that. Get out before I call Chief Warden in here.” She didn't have time to argue with the staff here so she played the cold Dongmei from the start, scaring them.

”Y-yes Miss… We will wait outside.” The two of them quickly left, closing the door behind them, leaving only Dongmei and her guards inside. She didn't start her work right away and instead glanced at her guards, glaring at them too, asking in the same tone, ”And what are you two waiting for? The applause? Get out and close the doors!”

The guards were quite surprised by Dongmei's sudden change of attitude but they didn't argue, knowing the results wouldn't change no matter what. With everyone gone, Dongmei quickly looked through the files and found the day she needed, the one Wuxing left the apartment to scout.

Her first camera was the one recording the hospital's entrance and Dongmei didn't hesitate to play the video from the moment she left the apartment. Putting it on eight times of the real speed, Dongmei slowly observed, slowing down each time she saw someone coming out of the hospital.

To her surprise, she spotted her own guard, wearing the same clothes Wuxing was wearing. It was the same guard that was left behind by her to stand in front of the apartment. Technically it was impossible for him to leave his the hospital at that moment. And clothes? Did he change to look just like Wuxing?

Dongmei closely observed the face of the guard as she paused the camera on his face and couldn't help but believe in her previous theory, thinking to herself, 'Wuxing… Is this the ability you were talking about? You… can actually change your appearance into that of other people?' When she thought about it, she knew how ridiculous it sounded but at the same time, that's exactly what she could see.

Not only with the guard but also with the lawyer, she could see the original people before but then there was an identical person standing a few minutes after in front of her. Unless the lawyer could teleport and the guard didn't listen to her order, her theory was correct.

Thinking of a quick way to confirm it, she switched to another camera in the hospital which was pointed towards her apartment, choosing exactly the same timestamp and clicked play. Just as she thought, the guard she left there was standing nicely, not moving from his spot at all.

'So it is true… He does have such an ability… There is no way he could make masks that match those people as even their build looks similar…' Dongmei thought as she looked at other recordings, following the tracks of Wuxing in the body of the guard.

She saw him heading into the armoury and picking the familiar Dual Berettas for himself, the same pair he showed her later on. If that wasn't the proof then she didn't know what could. Wuxing did say he has other secrets so she had to think about this one.

Imagining it up till this point, she compared it to her own power, 'Is this the same kind as my lie-detecting?' Dongmei didn't tell Wuxing exactly how her ability worked but it was definitely not a skill anyone can learn. Each time someone around her lied, a sentence inside of her mind would appear, correcting it into the truth instead.

If Wuxing didn't love her but said he did, her mind would correct it into how he really felt about her. If he didn't lie, nothing would happen. Dongmei suspected that she inherited this special ability from her mother but she never admitted to it. Now that Wuxing showed another type of ability like hers, the increased regeneration and this new one too, Dongmei actually believed there have to be more people just like her.

'Then he really meant it when he said he will change his identity completely… Li Wuxing will be no more… He will join the Seven Stars once again and become a shining star, trying to impress my father with that…' Dongmei finally understood the full scope of his plans and cried out frustratedly in her mind, 'Wuxing, you dummy! You could just tell me earlier! I would understand!'
