Qi Nian took out his phone and used the on - site equipment to project a chat record.
One of the chatters was Qi Nian, and the other avatar was very familiar to everyone - Huo Yan. Thinking she had Qi Nian firmly in her grasp, Huo Yan used her main account directly, and now she was thoroughly exposed.
It was very clear from the chat record that Huo Yan had asked Qi Nian to pretend that the surveillance video provided by Huo Cheng was fake. No matter what, he had to prove that Huo Cheng was the real culprit.
Every single word was a scheme against her own younger brother. Once this chat record was shown, Huo Yan was instantly cornered.
“It's fake! It must be fake! How could this be true? It must be photoshopped. This guy has had this premeditated! Father!”
Huo Yan immediately threw herself in front of Father Huo and sobbed.
Looking at his sobbing daughter and then at the irrefutable chat record, Father Huo didn't know whom to believe.
“Whether it's photoshopped or not, Miss Huo, you know it yourself.” Qi Nian didn't argue. He knew this was the Huo family, and as an outsider, even if he were to argue, he wouldn't gain much of an upper hand.
Qi Nian just silently scrolled through the screen and found an earlier chat record related to this surveillance video.
It detailed how Huo Yan planned to deal with Huo Cheng and teach him a lesson.
“With so much evidence, does Mr. Huo still want to say I photoshopped it?” Qi Nian asked with a cold smile.
Now, some people began to question. It was obvious that Huo Yan's claim of not knowing Qi Nian didn't hold water.
She had already chatted with Qi Nian so much, and now claiming not to know him, who would believe it?
The loss of the Huo family's treasure was a major event. Many people had come today to be witnesses. At this moment, they were pointing at Huo Yan and whispering to each other.
They completely forgot that the main purpose today was to authenticate the surveillance video and that initially, Huo Cheng was the most suspected.
As the chatter grew louder, Huo Yan's face became increasingly ugly. Her once charming face now looked utterly terrifying.
“If you were on Huo Yan's side, why are you jumping out to expose her now?”
“Yeah, weren't you completely loyal to Huo Yan? Why aren't you loyal anymore?”
Some people noticed something was off and immediately voiced their doubts.
Hearing these words, Huo Yan's expression softened a bit. Finally, someone was speaking for her instead of this seemingly crazy Qi Nian.
“Well, you'll have to ask what Miss Huo has done,” Qi Nian still had that half - smiling expression, not elaborating further.
The chatter below grew even louder, with most of the comments being unfavorable to Huo Yan.
Of course, Huo Yan wasn't willing to give in and was about to argue.
“Silence! Be quiet!” Father Huo knocked on the table twice, and the noise gradually died down.
“Today, the main thing is to authenticate the video. Once we know who the real culprit is, everything will be clear. Everyone, please stay on topic,” Father Huo said with a grim face. The loss of the Huo family's treasure was not a glorious thing.
He had invited people to be witnesses, but unexpectedly, it had turned into a farce.
“Go and find someone else to authenticate it,” Father Huo said without even glancing at Qi Nian, as if Qi Nian was just a clown.
“There's no need. There's no need to authenticate. I made this video myself. How could I not recognize it?” Qi Nian pointed at the video of Huo Cheng and said confidently.
There was another uproar below. Qi Nian's words were a huge shock.
“Sir, you need to provide evidence when you speak. You're just making empty claims. Who knows if what you're saying is true or false?”
Huo Zhen spoke up again. As soon as he did, Xu Yan pricked up his ears. He was eager to hear what else the third young master, Huo Zhen, would say to be so annoying.
After hearing it, Xu Yan thought that what Huo Zhen said made sense.
“As for evidence, does the fact that I'm Qi Nian count?” Qi Nian said without even raising his head. The commotion at the scene grew even louder.
Qi Nian was once a well - known name. Before he encountered a heartless boss, Qi Nian was a legend. It was said that no hacker could match him, and there was no system he couldn't break into.
But later, Qi Nian gradually disappeared from the public eye. Some said he was involved in a case and went to prison, while others said there was no such person as Qi Nian at all.
At that time, there were all kinds of rumors. Qi Nian's fame was even greater than at his peak. But like a storm, it came and went quickly. Soon, Qi Nian's disappearance was forgotten, and few people remembered him.
But judging from the reactions of the people on - site, many still remembered and knew who Qi Nian was. They just didn't expect Qi Nian to be such a young man.
Moreover, he seemed to have an unclear relationship with Huo Yan. From the chat record just now, everyone got the feeling that Huo Yan and Qi Nian had a close relationship.
“Qi Nian... Who is Qi Nian? Is he very famous?” Huo Zhen spoke up again. Xu Yan covered his face. He always felt that whenever Huo Zhen spoke, he ruined the mood.
Obviously, Qi Nian was more famous than expected. Soon, a group of people started to explain to Huo Zhen who Qi Nian was. Thanks to the passage of time, what people remembered now were Qi Nian's glorious deeds, not his embarrassing moments.
Although Qi Nian was looking down at his computer, he could still hear what these people were saying.
“Wasn't Qi Nian the one who made a fake plan? Don't you guys remember? The reason Qi Nian disappeared was that his fraud was discovered.”
“Yeah, I know. I remember. It was said that Qi Nian fraudulently transferred a lot of the company's money. At that time, the company had even publicized for a while after recruiting Qi Nian. Who would have thought that because of him, the company lost everything.”
“Yeah, yeah. I've also heard that not only that, but Qi Nian also brought a debt to the company, which drove the boss to commit suicide.”
“So scary! I didn't know these things. I knew Qi Nian, the great hacker. I always thought he was a really amazing person. I didn't expect him to be like this.”
“You can never judge a book by its cover. You must never be like him in the future.”
A group of people were chattering away. Some even took the opportunity to teach their juniors. The words they said were like sharp knives, stabbing deeply. Relying on their high status and wealth, they didn't care about others at all. Even though the person they were talking about was right in front of them, they still said whatever they wanted.
