The Devil’s love

Chapter 246 - Eavesdropping

Thinking for quite some time, Guiren frowned, "Actually, Yuri is right."

"Now that you mentioned it, it was so easy for Jason to track them down when his men kidnapped Hannah and Yuri. Even Jason was shocked and suspicious of everything that had happened but we shrugged it off," Muchan added. ​​

Pinching the bridge of her nose, Yuri sighed, "Roger has been our friend since we were in kindergarten you guys, each one of us know him so well and he is not someone who can hurt or harm anyone." Pausing for a while, she continued, "No matter whose fault it was, Roger lost his sister that day. Each one of us was present that day and he left Angella without thinking twice because we are his friends and he trusted us, he believed that Angella was safe with us in his absence. I am not saying that it's our fault but think about it from his point of view."

Keeping quiet for quite something, she turned towards Yufan, "What would you have done if it was Yifei and not Angella? Would you have accepted our apology and forgiven us for not being able to take care of your sister? Would you blame your fate and continue being friends with us?" When he did not say anything, Yuri sighed, "It's hard right?"

"I am not saying that Roger is right or trying to justify his actions, I just want you all to think about it from his point of view. I feel that whatever Roger is doing is because he also feels guilty towards his sister. Just like Yufan, he had brought his sister for the trip taking full responsibility for her safety so imagine how hard it would have been for him to face his parents after Angella ended up losing her life? All these years, we kept saying that he is trying to harm us but maybe he doesn't really want to harm us. What if he is doing this because he feels that being our foe will give his dead sister justice?" Yuri added.

"I think Yuri is right, though I don't know Roger but the way he showed up in the mall today though he knew how risky it was just to tell us about Lucas proves that he cares," Suyan added.

Ning sighed and nodded her head, "Sister Suyan is right, initially I thought he had other intentions but he really just wanted us to warn Lucas so that he stays safe."

"Hmm though Roger is an ass at times but he is not as bad as he shows himself. Even he is as distant with dad as I am, we both never really had a nice talk or shared any special moments with him except for Angella, she was dad's favorite," Lucas explained.

Running his hands through his face, Yichan sighed, "I think we should first find out if Ning's speculation is true or not and if Angella is really alive, we need to inform Roger about it."

Taking out his phone, Guiren informed, "Let me call Jason over."

"Jason is out with a few other men, they are doing—something important."

When Yufan gave Yichan a look, he sighed, "Alright then, I think we need to wait for him to come back."

"Hmm I think I can help," Yitian stepped out from the corner of the stairs where he was hiding for a long time.

Scrunching his brows, Yichan snapped, "Were you eavesdropping our conversation?"

Vigorously shaking his head, Yitian answered, "No, I mean yes, I heard everything and no I didn't intend to eavesdrop anything." Without waiting for his reply, he further explained, "I just wanted a glass of water but when I heard you guys talking about something, I didn't want to disturb you so I ended up hiding. And even though I didn't want to hear anything, I did."

Placing her hand on Yichan's arm to calm him down, Ning sighed, "It's alright Yitian but I don't think that you can help us."

"Can you help us secure the security footage of the supermarket of a specific date?" Bojing inquired.

Shrugging his shoulders, Yitian answered, "I can try." Without waiting for anyone's reply, he rushed towards his room. "Let me get my laptop."

"Brother Bojing he—"

Cutting Yichan off, Bojing explained, "We have no other choice Yichan, Jason won't be available until later tonight and this matter is very sensitive and important. The sooner we find out about this, the better."

Thinking for a while, Yichan gritted his teeth, "Alright but only for today."

Within a few seconds, Yitian rushed down the stairs and settled on the couch.

"Which supermarket are we talking about?" he inquired.

"Hmmm the one in block D," Ning answered.

"Date?"

Looking at Yichan, she frowned, "I do remember the time but not the date."

Thinking for a while, Yichan inquired, "Don't you keep all the grocery bills in the kitchen drawer?"

"Yes, I'll go look for it." Without wasting any more time, she rushed towards the kitchen.

Helplessly shaking her head, Nuying sighed, "I cannot believe that Ning's irritating habit of keeping the bills is finally helping someone."

After a few minutes, Ning rushed out of the kitchen along with a bill in her hand. "Well it wasn't easy but I think this is the one. The things that I bought for that day matches the things in this bill so I think this is it."

"Time?"

"Hmm it has to be between five to six in the evening," she answered.

"Meat section?" When Ning nodded her head, Yitian sighed, "Okay I think I found it." Playing the footage, he placed the laptop on the table. "And now we wait."

"Fast forward it," Guiren instructed.

Following the instructions, he fast forwarded the footage to X3 and waited. Exactly at 5:25 pm, the screen turned black and the footage appeared again at 5:45 pm.

Scrunching his brows, Yichan inquired, "What was that?"

Rewinding the footage, Yitian played it again but the same thing happened.
