Nalan Ye Jue hung up Jun Ruyi’s call, his face as dark as thunder.

The world’s only private satellite surveillance, yet it couldn’t catch any footage of Qin Xin leaving the school. Are the people in the control room all useless?

If he weren’t so focused on finding the young woman right now, he would definitely deal with those fools harshly.

He put away his phone and turned around, "What time have you checked up to?"

"4:58 PM. Young man, why so anxious? Since I promised to help you find her, I’ll definitely see it through to the end. That girl with the green hat, right? Last time there was an incident at Imperial University, I remember she helped a lot of people escape. Many of us, like the security guards and cleaning ladies, are extremely grateful to her. Don’t worry, I’ll help you find her."

Nalan Ye Jue nodded and stopped urging.

Fortunately, while he had the group check the satellite surveillance, he also had the security at the school gate check the school’s surveillance. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

And it was a stroke of luck that the security guard he encountered was transferred from Imperial University. As soon as he described Qin Xin’s appearance and attire, the guard eagerly started to help.

The two of them stared intently at the surveillance footage.

The school surveillance was nowhere near the Nalan Group’s satellite surveillance; it was the oldest style of camera recording, with no smart search, forcing them to review every second from the beginning.

After a minute of watching, Nalan Ye Jue grew anxious again, frowning, "Is there another camera angle? The back gate?"

The security guard raised an eyebrow, chuckling, "Young man, don’t fret. Only this gate opens after school. I remember seeing her..."

"Are you expecting to spend the Lantern Festival with her? Ah, the stars are bright tonight. You must have yuanxiao, you know, watching stars and eating yuanxiao together during the Lantern Festival can get the main deity’s blessing for love, heh."

"If it snows, you two could be together forever... That’s how me and the missus came to be. Here’s a tip: after watching the stars, don’t rush to send her home, because snow falls in the wee hours..."

Nalan Ye Jue’s Adam’s apple bobbed: "Snow falls in the wee hours?"

The guard nodded fervently, then looked a bit regretful, "Right. Oh no, I forgot, today’s forecast says clear skies, no snow. But still, watching stars together is nice. Who knows if you’ll be together forever? Like my wife now scolds me every day at home, leaving socks on the floor, not showering, wasting water washing clothes, it’s miserable..."

Nalan Ye Jue: "..."

An image of Qin Xin scolding him for showering too diligently suddenly appeared in his mind. Why is that?

This ordinary, warm family scene unexpectedly intruded into his cold, monotonous life. Though incongruous, it was strangely desirable.

Just as he was thinking this.

The security guard suddenly exclaimed, slapping his leg, "Found it, found it! Look, isn’t this her?"

Nalan Ye Jue: "..."

No one has ever dared to slap his leg in this lifetime.

However, seeing how the guard was so dedicated in helping him check the surveillance, he didn’t bother to get angry and immediately followed to look at the footage.

Qin Xin, wearing a green hat, hands in pockets, walked out of the school gate and got directly into a green taxi.

Nalan Ye Jue’s heart was in his throat.

The security guard cheerfully took note of the taxi number, "You just need to call the taxi company to ask where she got off. Don’t rush..."

Nalan Ye Jue, however, had a serious expression.

"Wait, zoom in on the footage a bit."
