51: Chapter 51 The script for my past life was already written; I could recite it from memory.

Meanwhile.

Standing aside, Chen Jingci.

The fake smile on his face was already starting to slip.

From the very moment his family members started speaking, he keenly sensed that something was wrong.

What were they implying?

Implying that Chen Fan wasn't the culprit?

Implying there was a "misunderstanding" behind this?

How was this interrogating the real young master? It was clearly coaxing the real young master into retracting his confession?!

And judging by their eyes, judging by the implications in their words...

It seemed like they had decided that he was just faking a fall?!

What a joke!

The involved party had already confessed!

And he, the victim, had already forgiven him!

The two parties involved were just one step away from signing and stamping!

As bystanders, what the hell were you still doubting?!

Could they possibly understand the whole process of what happened better than the two parties involved?!

Looking at the concerned, trusting eyes of his family members as they looked at Chen Fan, wishing they could immediately redress grievances for him!

Thinking back to how he had fallen half to death, only to be scrutinized by his whole family with suspicious gazes!

A monstrous wave of grievance surged from within Chen Jingci's chest.

"I am the victim!"

"My leg still hurts so much it pierces my heart!"

"It's one thing that you don't feel sorry for me, but you're actually here discussing how to rehabilitate the 'culprit'?! "

"Is there any justice left?!"

At this moment.

Chen Xuening spoke up.

Her lawyer's Aura was fully unleashed, her voice not loud, but every word sounded like a judge's gavel striking the table:

"Courts of law emphasize evidence."

"Without evidence, one cannot convict someone."

"Even if Xiao Fan himself admits that he pushed him, before there is conclusive evidence, it cannot be directly determined."

"Otherwise, wouldn't we become biased family members who cannot tell right from wrong?"

"..."

This sentence was responding to the accusations in Chen Fan's inner voice.

The rest of the Chen family members nodded in agreement, their expressions strikingly uniform.

"Surveillance cameras!"

Chen Xingyue suddenly slapped her forehead and shouted excitedly.

"That's right! Doesn't the house have surveillance cameras?"

"Pull the footage out and take a look, and everything will be clear!"

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted.

That's right!

To prevent servants from having sticky fingers, surveillance cameras were installed in all public areas of the house!

There happened to be one right at the top of the stairs!

Hearing this, Chen Jingci was overjoyed.

Surveillance footage!

How come he hadn't thought of it sooner!

One of the reasons he gave up on faking a fall earlier was precisely because he knew there was surveillance, and using such a trick would easily expose him.

Now, he hadn't faked a fall at all!

He was genuinely pushed down!

Then the footage captured by the surveillance would definitely clear his name!

Chen Jingci suppressed his inner excitement, the corners of his mouth curving up slightly.

Once the surveillance footage was retrieved.

Everything would come to light.

By then, he wanted to see what else these blind-eyed and blind-hearted family members had to say?!

Having suffered such a huge grievance for no reason, he simply had to cry and recount it thoroughly, and demand some good things to compensate his injured soul!

"Uncle Fu."

Chen Jianguo decisively instructed the old butler, "Go and pull the surveillance footage from the stairs, specifically from just now."

"..."

Butler Fu acknowledged and walked quickly toward the surveillance room.

Chen Jingci secretly clenched his fists.

Almost there.

His grievances would soon be redressed.

He slightly turned his head and glanced at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan, on the other hand, looked calm, and even gave him a silly smile, softly comforting him:

"Don't be afraid, Brother Jing Ci. The surveillance footage will definitely prove your innocence."

Chen Jingci: "..."

Why did those words sound so awkward?

You were clearly the one who pushed me, why did it look like you were the one seeking redress for me?

Fuck.

A certain type of plant.

Just as everyone was eagerly looking forward to it!

In their minds, that familiar, sarcastic voice rang out again.

[Heh.]

[Checking surveillance?]

[As if they could actually find anything.]

[That bastard does things without a single flaw. Since he dared to play a fake fall on the stairs, how could he possibly not destroy the surveillance footage beforehand?]

[You think he did it on the spur of the moment? Naive.]

[He had already scouted out the blind spots of all the cameras in the house long ago.]

[This deity has already experienced the plot of the past life once.]

[The butler will immediately run back and say! All the surveillance cameras broke yesterday, and nothing was captured.]

[Then this bastard will put on a wronged face of "although I was wronged, I won't hold it against you," and continue to harvest your guilt.]

[Tsk tsk, the script is already written, this deity can even recite it by heart.]

...

Everyone in the Chen family felt their hearts skip a beat simultaneously.

No way, right?

Xiao Ci even calculated this?

Their gazes involuntarily drifted toward Chen Jingci.

They found that the other party was looking toward the surveillance room with a resolute expression, the corners of his mouth even curving up slightly, carrying a trace of anticipation for his grievances being cleared.

That smug little expression...

No matter how they looked at it, it looked like he was waiting for a pre-written script to play out.

Chen Jianguo's face darkened by a few degrees.

Wang Xiaoyun clenched the corner of her clothes tightly.

The Four Sisters exchanged glances, their expressions complex.

Just at this moment.

A burst of hurried footsteps sounded.

Butler Fu trotted back.

The ugly expression on his face made Chen Jingci's heart skip a beat.

There wouldn't be another unexpected change, right?

Don't screw with me, hey!

"Master... Madam..."

Butler Fu rubbed his hands together, his face showing a difficult expression.

"For some reason yesterday, the surveillance cameras in the house... all broke."

"Maintenance personnel are currently replacing and rushing to repair them, so there's no way to view the surveillance footage you requested."

"..."

Boom—

This sentence was like a depth charge.

Exploding in the depths of everyone's hearts.

It was exactly the same as what was prophesied in Chen Fan's "inner voice".

At this moment, the last shred of suspicion in the hearts of the Chen family completely vanished into thin air.

The facts were already laid out before their eyes!

Xiao Ci really did fake a fall.

And it was premeditated; even the surveillance cameras had been destroyed in advance.

Looking at Chen Jingci, their eyes held undisguised disappointment.

The child they had raised for eighteen years actually had such deep scheming.

In order to frame his newly returned younger brother, he didn't hesitate to risk his own life and destroyed all evidence in advance.

How ruthless.

How cold-blooded.

As for Chen Jingci's expression at this moment, it was like he had swallowed a whole plate of freshly excreted filth.

His complexion turned a shade of blue, then white, then purple, comparable to a color palette.

No!

How could the surveillance break down precisely at this time?!

It didn't break sooner or later, it broke right when it was needed?!

Heavens, are you intentionally messing with me?!

He sensed the gazes of his family, which gradually transformed from suspicion into resolute disappointment.

He was so anxious that his whole body broke out in a cold sweat, yet he couldn't explain a single word.

He had no idea how to prove his innocence!

He was aggrieved to the extreme!

"I fucking am really not faking a fall ahhhhh!"

Just as he was about to vomit blood from anger!

Butler Fu hesitated for a moment and said:

"Master, although the surveillance is broken."

"But just now near the stairs, there were two maids cleaning not far away."

"Perhaps... they saw something?"

"..."

Chen Jingci's eyes lit up instantly once again.

Great, great, great, heaven never bars one's way!

He hadn't lost yet!

There were still eyewitnesses!

He suddenly turned his head, looking hopefully at the two maids brought over by Butler Fu.

He recognized both of these women.

Usually, they were managed by Nanny Liu, and their relationship with him was not bad.

They would occasionally run errands to buy coffee for him, and he hadn't given them small tips sparingly.

If they saw the truth, they would definitely speak up for him!
