Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

The Li family was in chaos last night.

For unknown reasons, the main switch in the distribution room suddenly broke down, and the entire Li family lost power and fell into darkness.

The damage was so severe that it looked like it was man-made.

It was not until nearly dawn that technicians finally repaired the circuit breaker and restored power.

Li Qingchi was already upset because he had not found the undercover agent hiding in the family, and this sudden power outage made him even more furious.

When he learned that the switch was probably damaged on purpose, he was furious. He immediately gave the order:

If the saboteurs are not caught, everyone will be punished.

For a moment, everyone in the Li family was worried and helped to look for clues.

Yi Mu stopped someone on the way to ask questions, and after getting a general understanding of the situation, he couldn't wait to go back.

At that time, Hua Chaochao had just come out of the shower with wet hair, and red marks were faintly visible in places that were not covered by the bathrobe.

When Yi Mu's eyes fell upon the red mark, he felt as if he was burned. His whole face instantly turned red and he turned his head away in a hurry.

His eyes didn't look, but his body was honest. He walked over, took the towel from Hua Chaochao's hand, and helped her wipe the wet ends of her hair.

His fingers gently ran through Hua Chaochao's hair and the towel moved slowly. Every movement was full of caution, as if he was treating the most precious treasure in the world.

Hua Chaochao was happy and relaxed as someone was helping her wipe it. She leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to enjoy it.

"Did you find out the reason?"

Yi Mu told everyone what he had found out.

Hua Chaochao said softly, "Who do you think did this?"

After a brief silence, Yi Mu replied: "Is it Hua Xi?"

He guessed that Hua Xi's reason was very simple. He knew very few people in the Li family, and since Hua Chaochao asked this, it must be someone he didn't know.

"Not only her, there is another person."

Last night was very lively. If she hadn't wanted to accompany Yi Mu, she would definitely not have missed it.

It’s not too late to join in the fun now, Hua Chaochao suddenly sat up.

Yi Mu was still holding her hair in his hand. Fortunately, he reacted in time and let go quickly, otherwise it would have been pulled.

"Let's go watch a show." Hua Chaochao was very interested and the moment she stood up she turned into 'Ye Xiao'.

The hair that was originally wet and stuck to the forehead became very dry, and all the clothes on the body were changed in an instant.

This was not the first time Yi Mu saw Hua Chaochao in disguise, so he was not surprised. He just stared at Hua Chaochao's hair, feeling a little disappointed because he had not finished wiping it.

……

The Li family is very busy today because a series of strange things happened last night.

First there was an inexplicable power outage, and then it was discovered that the power switch seemed to have been damaged by someone.

Except for those with certain status who were exempted from investigation, the rest, including guards and servants, were to be interrogated.

Ask them clearly about their whereabouts and what they did last night before the power outage, and require solid witnesses or physical evidence to confirm their statements.

The interrogation process was ongoing, and people holding clipboards and conducting interrogations, as well as people waiting to be questioned, could be seen everywhere on the road.

Those who passed the checkpoint looked relaxed, while those who were still waiting for interrogation were anxious and fidgety.

After Wei Feng had interrogated the last person and was putting away his recording board to go to the next place, he happened to meet two people walking towards him.

"Ms. Ye." Wei Feng greeted respectfully.

The two people were Hua Chaochao and Yi Mu.

Hua Chaochao nodded politely in response, then asked, "Deputy Captain Wei, is there any clue about the power outage last night?"

"Not yet. We are checking them one by one." Wei Feng answered truthfully.

"Did the power outage last night affect Miss Ye?"

Wei Feng had a good impression of Hua Chaochao. She was quiet and kind to others, and would not look down on servants like them.

He had seen too many people of noble status, and they all had some arrogance to some extent.

People like Hua Chaochao are rare, so I can't help but pay more attention to them.

Wei Feng's caring words did not escape Yi Mu's ears, and he glanced at him coldly.

This person is so annoying.

"Thank you for your concern, Deputy Captain Wei. It's just a lack of power, it's not a big deal."

Hua Chaochao replied with a smile, her eyes lightly sweeping across the recording board in Wei Feng's hand, "Since we've met, why don't Deputy Captain Wei interrogate us as well?"

Yi Mu, who was standing by, was wondering why she hadn't finished speaking yet. Suddenly, he was startled by Hua Chaochao's words and turned to look at her.

Is this okay to ask?

Last night they were...

Wei Feng was also startled, then quickly waved his hand: "Miss Ye, you are joking. You two are naturally not suspicious."

You must be kidding. Even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to interrogate Miss Ye. If the clan leader knew that he had interrogated Miss Ye, he would definitely be in trouble.

Hua Chaochao expected Wei Feng's answer. She said that just to draw out another request: "Since you think we have no problems, then arrange some work for us."

"To be honest, I have lived in the Li family for so long and received a lot of care from Chief Li, so I want to do something to repay him." Hua Chaochao looked sincere.

Wei Feng looked embarrassed: "This... is not good, you are a guest."

There is no reason for guests to help investigate a case.

Hua Chaochao: "Deputy Captain Wei, don't be so formal. Let's not distinguish between guests and non-guests at this time."

Wei Feng: "...Okay then, but I have to ask the clan leader first."

Since it concerns Ye Xiao, he cannot be the one making the decision.

Hua Chaochao said sympathetically: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Wei Feng hurriedly called Li Qingchi and briefly explained the situation.

What could Li Qingchi say? He must have agreed.

Finally, Hua Chaochao and Yi Mu got a job assisting in the review.

The person who assisted was naturally Wei Feng.

There are several hundred people in total who need to be questioned, and less than half of them have been completed.

Wei Feng brought Hua Chaochao and Yi Mu to the next place where there was a subject to be investigated.

It's a martial arts training ground.

There are no guards on duty today, most of them are here.

They practice here and improve themselves.

Even if you become a guard, you cannot relax your requirements for yourself.

Who wouldn't want to climb the social ladder? Who would be willing to be a guard for life?

After entering the martial arts training ground, Wei Feng did not choose to call all the guards over. Instead, he walked up to a guard and asked as usual: "Where were you before the power outage last night? What were you doing?"

The guard stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied, "Deputy Captain, I was resting in the dormitory last night and will be on duty after the shift change."

Wei Feng: "Can anyone prove it?"

The guard thought for a moment and said, "My roommate Xiao Wang can prove that we were together last night."

Wei Feng nodded and walked towards another guard.

The guard replied with the same words, "Deputy Captain, I practiced extra at the training ground last night, hoping to improve my Kung Fu."

Wei Feng: “Can anyone confirm this?”

The guard said: "There were several brothers there at the time, you can ask them."

Then he reported the names of those people one by one.

Wei Feng wrote down the names of these people one by one, and then walked towards the next guard.

Throughout the whole process, Hua Chaochao and Yi Mu played a decorative role, which means they were completely useless.

It didn't help at all.

Although he agreed to let them assist, Wei Feng really didn't dare to let Hua Chaochao do anything.

After questioning several guards, no valuable clues were obtained.

Another page of white paper was filled up. Wei Feng turned to a new page of record paper and continued to question the next guard.

This guard Wei Feng looked familiar; he was the one that Li Xinhao was about to leave with that day.

There are hundreds of guards in the Li family, and it is impossible for Wei Feng to be familiar with every one of them.

Just as Wei Feng was about to ask a question, Hua Chaochao, who had been silent all the way, spoke.

"Deputy Captain Wei, you must be tired after asking so many people. Let me take over. You can go to the side and take a rest."

Wei Feng was about to say that he was not tired, but before he could say anything, he heard Hua Chaochao say confidently, "Don't worry, I have learned all this and I know how to ask."

Since Hua Chaochao said so, Wei Feng couldn't insist any longer, so he nodded: "Okay then, Miss Ye, thank you for your help."
