The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 25 - Event Development_1

With this thought, Situ Xin shook her head violently, “No, I refuse, since I’ve been reborn, how could I let myself live that lonely life again?

In my previous life, I was an infant who knew nothing, but in this life, although I’m still an infant, I’m no ordinary one.

Even if Dad and Mom can’t find me, I’ll find a way to get back home myself.” Situ Xin silently cheered herself on in her heart: “Yes, I will find a way to get home, definitely.”

At the Situ Family, it took everyone over an hour to finally finish reviewing all the surveillance tapes.

After watching the tapes and returning to the study, everyone’s faces were grim.

“I didn’t see Aunt Wu or Baby in the surveillance footage I watched,” Situ Haoran said with a stern face.

“Neither did I; there was no sight of Aunt Wu or Baby,” said Loo Jianguo, his brows furrowed as if he was pondering something.

“We didn’t see anything either, what about yours, Haotian?” Old Master Situ spoke, Old Master Loo’s face low and contemplative.

“In this No.

8 surveillance tape, at 8:30, Aunt Wu appeared with Baby,” said Situ Haotian, instantly lifting everyone’s spirits.

“This No.

8 surveillance camera is the one at our family’s front door.

Moreover, after Aunt Wu walked east for a bit while holding Baby, they disappeared,” finished Situ Haotian.

Loo Jianguo then added, “Not just from the two cameras that you watched, they disappeared from all the cameras in the compound.

I am certain that Aunt Wu is the one who took Baby.

And behind her, there’s a mastermind, the person plotting the whole thing.” Following Loo Jianguo’s words, the study fell into a brief silence.

“Jianguo’s analysis is spot on, and this mastermind is someone very familiar with the military compound,” Old Master Loo finally looked up and said after a moment of contemplation.

His words sent Old Master Situ and the others into deep thought, filtering through their minds who in the compound had a grudge against their family.

But after thinking for a long time, they couldn’t pinpoint a suspect, “I’ve thought about it, and although we belong to different factions at work, it hasn’t escalated to the point of kidnapping Baby,” said Old Master Situ.

“Yes, even if we don’t get along, it’s not to the point of hostility.

They wouldn’t need to take such a risky step over work matters,” added Situ Haoran.

“By the way, have you guys questioned the guards on duty at the gate?” Loo Jianguo asked.

“We have, they said they didn’t see anything,” said Situ Haotian, sounding quite down.

“How did you ask them?” inquired Loo Jianguo.

“We just asked if they saw Aunt Wu and Baby leaving,” replied Situ Haoran.

“Did you ask if any suspicious vehicles entered or left the military compound?

Right, if there are no suspicious vehicles, find all the cars that left the compound after 8:30 this morning,” suggested Loo Jianguo.

“How did we forget that, I’ll take care of it right now,” said Situ Haoran, turning to leave the study promptly.

When Situ Haoran went to the guard post, he had intended to ask the questions himself and then report back to everyone.

However, he was concerned he might forget something while asking, so he decided to bring the guard on duty that morning directly to the Situ Family home.

“After 8:30 this morning, were there any particular vehicles that passed by?” Old Master Situ asked.

They originally wanted to ask which vehicles had passed by, but while Situ Haoran was at the guard post, they remembered there was a camera at the gate, so they called up the surveillance footage from that camera to watch.

However, they couldn’t discern anything unusual from the footage, as vehicles from inside the compound were coming and going regularly.

“Particular vehicles?” The guard on duty, seeing the two old chiefs and other high-ranking individuals, was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his back.

“Don’t be nervous, we’re just asking.

Just recall carefully.

Like this morning, were there any vehicles that passed by with children in them?” Loo Jianguo, being political-minded, knew how to guide a person to reveal the information he wanted to know.

“With children?” The duty guard was reminded by Loo Jianguo’s question.

“Do you remember anything?” asked Old Master Situ, anxious to know more.

Just as he was about to say more, Old Lu gestured for him to stop and not to disturb the train of thought of the duty guard.

“This morning, I did notice a car with the sound of a child crying,” recalled the duty guard.

“I remember very clearly, there was the sound of a child crying.

Moreover, I remember this car very well—it belonged to Chief Zhang’s household.” The duty guard had been prompted by Loo Jianguo and remembered because the guards were very familiar with which vehicle belonged to which household.

He remembered so distinctly also because at the time he didn’t pay much attention when Chief Zhang’s family car passed by, but when the car reached the gate, he suddenly heard a baby crying and thought it was strange since there shouldn’t have been a baby in Chief Zhang’s car.

After hearing the duty guard’s statement, everyone looked at each other, “Were there any other vehicles with babies in them?” asked Old Master Loo.

The duty guard thought for a moment before answering with certainty, “Not during my shift.” After the duty guard finished speaking, Old Master Situ signaled that he could leave.
