After that, perhaps after rummaging around for a while without any results, the person failed to find what they were satisfied with.
The person stood there for a moment, then seemed to fix their gaze on the glazed pagoda in the middle. He could be seen walking towards it step by step, and slowly opening the lid. Just then, the light emitted by the relic illuminated the person's face.
It was unexpectedly Huo Cheng!
In the surveillance video, "Huo Cheng" still had his usual icy expression. After looking at the relic for two seconds, "Huo Cheng" reached out and grabbed it. As soon as the relic left the glazed pagoda, it lost its light and looked like an ordinary object.
"Huo Cheng" seemed extremely proud. He walked straight through a pile of antique calligraphy and paintings and swaggered away.
After watching this part of the surveillance video, everyone had different reactions.
"Rebellious son! What else do you have to say now? It's clearly you on the surveillance video," Huo's father pointed at Huo Cheng and said excitedly. He was probably stimulated again after watching the surveillance video for a second time.
"Just based on this short surveillance video, father, on what basis do you think it's me?" Huo Cheng said neither overbearingly nor humbly.
"Rebellious son! You still refuse to admit it. How is it not you on this surveillance video? I specifically asked someone to restore the surveillance. To specifically erase a segment of the surveillance video, besides you in the Huo family, who else could it be?" Naturally, Huo's father didn't buy Huo Cheng's words. All he knew was that Huo Cheng kept denying it. Huo's father only thought that Huo Cheng was just trying to excuse himself.
Indeed, in the Huo family, only Huo Cheng was proficient in computers. The Huo family was heavily guarded, and its network security was especially good, especially when it came to things like surveillance.
Being able to hack into the Huo family's system and erase a segment of the surveillance video was truly Huo Cheng's forte. Moreover, Huo Cheng had really done such a thing before.
When he was a child, Huo Cheng was not as serious as he was now. At that time, Huo Cheng always thought the Huo mansion was dull and boring. Everyone was just doing their own things. His father always ignored him. He was either fierce or silent towards him. His mother never really cared about Huo Cheng. All she wanted was a daughter and always tried to dress Huo Cheng up as a girl.
Needless to say, the eldest sister of the Huo family was always busy dressing up. She always disliked her younger brother in her heart. She only pretended to be close to him in front of their parents. As soon as their parents were gone, her true colors were revealed, and she ignored Huo Cheng completely.
The second elder brother was always busy reading, writing, or going out. Every time the second elder brother went out, Huo Cheng was very envious. Although he was young, he was a genius and understood things early. He had really wanted to go out and play since then.
At that time, Huo Zhen's legs were already disabled, and he stayed alone in a building. Huo Cheng rarely saw Huo Zhen and had almost forgotten about his third elder brother.
Whenever the desire to be naughty and go out to play became strong, Huo Cheng would secretly run out and then run back. Each time, the interval was not long, but it was enough for Huo Cheng to be happy for a long time.
Because he was afraid of being discovered, Huo Cheng hacked into the family's system at that time, erased the surveillance video of his going out, and replaced it with the one of him staying in his room, which kept looping. The security room never noticed anything strange.
The most thrilling part was going out. Huo Cheng always had to find a reason to create some "big events" to distract the guards in the garden, then lure the guards at the door over, and then sneak out himself.
He did the same thing when he came back. It was originally a very safe plan. Although Huo Cheng was young, he had considered everything carefully.
Huo Cheng had been secretly sneaking out to play like this for a long time. Finally, one day, Huo's father went to check the surveillance himself. It was just a sudden thought. Who would have thought that when he saw the segment erased by Huo Cheng, he suddenly noticed something wrong.
It turned out that the surveillance had been in a loop state. After all, Huo Cheng was still young and didn't notice that there was a kitten in the surveillance video. In the surveillance video modified by Huo Cheng, the kitten just kept running from the east to the west, from the east to the west, over and over again.
Huo's father immediately noticed something was wrong. He thought someone had hacked into the Huo family's system with malicious intent, so he was greatly shocked and asked someone to crack and restore it.
After watching the restored video, he found out that it was his youngest son who had deceived the guards and run out to play.
After further investigation, he found that the video was also made by Huo Cheng. At that time, Huo Cheng was very young, and everyone was surprised by his ability. Even Huo's father was surprised.
He always knew that Huo Cheng was smart, but Huo Cheng's intelligence exceeded his imagination. Hacking into the Huo family's system, erasing the surveillance, and then connecting a problem - free segment was not an easy thing. Even an adult man would probably find it very difficult to do.
Huo Cheng actually did it easily. Naturally, Huo's father was extremely surprised at that time. Besides being surprised, he was also full of pride. Just thinking that his son could do such a thing at such a young age made Huo's father happy.
He changed his usual neglect of Huo Cheng and suddenly began to pay attention to him. Instead of punishing Huo Cheng, he personally took him out to play and also found someone to specifically cultivate his talents in this area.
However, Huo's mother, after learning about this incident later, gave Huo Cheng a good beating. The reason was that Huo Cheng was still young and had violated the family's wishes like this. If he was not punished, who knew what he would do in the future.
But because of Huo's father's obstruction, the beating was not very severe. At that time, Huo's mother left in a huff, warning Huo's father that he would regret it one day for raising his children like this.
But at that time, Huo's father was only immersed in the joy of his son's extraordinary talent at a young age. He immediately got busy finding someone to cultivate Huo Cheng well and didn't think carefully about what Huo's mother had said at all.
Huo Cheng was at an age when he learned things quickly. The new teacher taught Huo Cheng a lot of things. It was said that Huo Cheng was the youngest student he had ever taught, but the teacher always spoke highly of Huo Cheng.
He often praised how smart Huo Cheng was and how quickly he learned in front of Huo's father. He also joked that he would soon not be able to teach Huo Cheng anymore because Huo Cheng was so smart that he was forcing the teacher out of a job.
For a while, the news of Huo Cheng's intelligence spread far and wide. Almost everyone knew that the Huo family had a smart son who had learned a lot of things at a young age.
Even the incident of Huo Cheng secretly modifying the family's surveillance and sneaking out to play had become a good story. Whenever people mentioned Huo Cheng, they would associate him with the word - smart.
Presumably, the eldest sister and the second elder brother of the Huo family must have been jealous of Huo Cheng at that time. After all, Huo Cheng had stolen so much of their limelight, and all the good things had gone to him.
But at the same time, the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Huo's father placed too much hope on Huo Cheng. He found all kinds of famous teachers to teach Huo Cheng, and sometimes he even taught him himself. The father and son had also experienced a beautiful time of filial piety.
But the good times didn't last long. As Huo Cheng grew up day by day, the relationship between the father and son got worse and worse.
