Pei Yi's bag was on the sofa.

Looking at Ning Rou's pale and beautiful face, she suddenly remembered that a month ago, because she took away Luo Zhen's photo, the other party had to stand under the sun for two hours.

It's impossible to say no to guilt.

The reason why she stole the photos at the beginning was because she felt that Ning Rou was not worthy of Luo Zhen's liking.

Luo Zhen loved Ning Rou so much, for Ning Rou's sake, he even cared about his own body, traveling thousands of miles from Haishi to Yuanxiang, which was as hot as a stove, and stayed for more than ten days.

What about Ningrou?

Ning Rou not only betrayed Luo Zhen, but also gave birth to another man.

This made her feel resigned.

Not reconciled to Luo Zhen, but also to herself.

Unwilling to fall in love with such a woman; unwilling to be inferior to such a woman.

She thought the 'punishment' to Ning Rou was just, so she didn't feel any guilt when she stole Luo Zhen's photo.

But it turns out that her guess was completely wrong.

Just a photo made Ning Rou willingly suffer for two hours in the torment of the scorching summer heat.

Pei Yi asked herself, if it was her, she might not be able to hold on for three to ten minutes.

It was impossible for her not to regret her actions that day.

Because, even Ning Rou's daughter is Luo Zhen's own flesh and blood——

Ning Rou risked being caught and gave birth to a daughter for Luo Zhen.

Pei Yi couldn't deny that she did make a mistake.

Regardless of whether there is blood relationship between her and Ning Rou, she is just as wrong.

It takes a lot of courage to admit that you have misjudged, done something wrong, and hurt innocent people.

Not to mention, her father, Zhou Ruguang, also imprisoned Ning Rou in the laboratory for more than 20 years, and did so many terrible things to Ning Rou.

The more she thought about it, the more she blamed herself.

The music in the hall was so loud that it drowned out her voice.

Fortunately, there was a light in the corridor, Ning Rou discerned the shape of her lips, and finally figured out what she was talking about——

"Feel sorry."

"Please wait for me."

An inexplicable apology made people puzzled.

Ning Rou opened her eyes, before she could answer, she saw Pei Yi turn around and walk towards the corner.

It seems that he is going to get something.

No matter what she thought, Ning Rou couldn't think of what Pei Yi would give her back.

She didn't leave, she just stood there obediently and waited.

When Pei Yi turned her head, what she saw was Ning Rou standing in the dark aisle waiting for her to pass.

Ning Rou's lips were slightly pursed, her back was straight, and her upper body was wearing a loose yellow short sleeve, which looked a little old and turned white after washing.

Pei Yi clenched the bag in her hand, her lips moved slightly.

This bag is limited edition.

One and a half months ago, in order to celebrate her return to China, Pei Xuan bought her long-cherished bag from a foreign luxury store at a high price, just to give her a surprise.

Under the circumstances, she couldn't help but think of the case record in Zhou Ruguang's study.

She has mother pain.

What about Ning Rou?

After Ning Rou was born, did she meet her mother?

She thought for a long time, even her temples were aching, but she still couldn't come up with an answer.

She only knew that the culprit of all this, the culprit that made her almost drowned by the two emotions of guilt and sympathy, was Zhou Ruguang——

Zhou Ruguang harmed two families at the same time.

Zhou Ruguang harmed Ning Rou, Ning Rou's mother, and also her, Pei Xuan.

Up to this moment, she still dare not think about how Pei Xuan will react if she finds out what Zhou Ruguang has done to her ex-wife and daughter one day.

Her breathing stagnated unconsciously, and the strength of her fingers was getting stronger and stronger, and the leather of the black bag was deformed by her pinching. It was not until the thumb nail was broken by the zipper that she calmed down a little.

She stepped forward and was about to return Luo Zhen's photo to Ning Rou, when a tall and thin man just walked in from the door.

As soon as the man saw Ning Rou, he quickened his pace.

Before Pei Yi approached, he had already come to Ning Rou.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them walked towards the end of the aisle without knowing what to say.

Pei Yi stood where she was, and saw Ning Rou turned her head to look at herself, and then left with the man.

She didn't stay long, hesitated for 2 minutes, and quickly chased after her.

The wine store was stolen, and all the wine in it was stolen.

Although there are only thirty or so bottles left, they are worth at least 6 yuan.

Ning Rou is the administrator. As soon as she appeared, everyone's eyes gathered.

In the past, due to regulations, employees were not allowed to come down to the basement. Today, when this happened, many people came to watch the excitement, wanting to see what the newly renovated wine warehouse looked like.

I estimated that there were twenty or thirty people around the warehouse door, all employees of the bar, and even the cleaning lady was watching a show among the crowd with a broom.

Liu Wei is the manager, and his position is the highest among those present.

He didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to speak.

"Xiao Zhou, I have already asked Xiao Ning, her key is still there, where is your key?"

Hearing this, the tall and thin man immediately took off a large bunch of keys from his waist, and found the spare key for the wine store from inside.

"Mine is too."

The lock of the wine cellar had not been broken; it must have been opened from the outside with a key.

Ning and Zhou Ting are the only ones who have the key in the bar.

Now both of them have their keys, which means that both of them are suspected.

Dozens of eyes looked around, Zhou Ting turned his head to look at Ning Rou, and added another sentence.

"The key was always with me."

Ning Rou heard the hint in this sentence, and she also loosened her lips to emphasize it.

"I haven't lost my key either."

Both of them said that their keys hadn't left their bodies, and it was difficult for Liu Wei.

The door of the wine cellar was wide open, and he was the only one who had entered since the discovery of the theft.

The surveillance inside had been destroyed long ago, and nothing of what happened last night was recorded.

He hasn't called the police on this matter, but looking at it now, it seems that the police can only handle it.

He took out his mobile phone and was about to call 110, when a questioning voice rang out in the air, pointing the finger at Ning Rou for the theft of the wine cellar.

"Didn't you spend the night in the lounge for the first two days?"

"Why is it such a coincidence that the warehouse was stolen last night when you were not there?"

Ning Rou's complexion changed slightly, but when she spoke, her voice was much louder than usual.

"When I want to live here is my own business, and it has nothing to do with the warehouse theft."

She has always been weak in character, but she also knows that Li Mei can't let Li Mei pour dirty water on herself, otherwise, she will not be able to tell when the time comes.

The air conditioner in the warehouse is on all day.

The bitter cold wind blows from the house to the outside, and the temperature at the door is getting lower and lower.

It seemed that she didn't expect Ning Rou to refute her words, Li Mei looked a little surprised, and she was stunned for a few seconds before she sneered.

"Didn't you already know someone was coming to steal the bar?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of discussion in the air.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Liu Wei immediately stopped Li Mei's guess.

"This kind of thing can't be nonsense!"

Li Mei smiled when she heard the sound, as if she didn't hear it, she spoke more vigorously.

"Brother Liu, are you still protecting her?"

"The more than 6 wine, you have to find someone to take responsibility, right?"

With these words, it seems that the thief has been determined.

Ning Rou pursed her lips, and when she looked up at Li Mei, she happened to see the smug smile flickering at the corner of Li Mei's mouth. In her heart, she instantly understood what was going on.

Her face turned pale unconsciously, and it seemed that there was no blood at all.

"If you think this matter is related to me, please show evidence."

evidence?

Li Mei was only waiting for this sentence.

"Since you are so confident, then open the door of the rest room and let us go in and search."

"Maybe there is stolen wine hidden inside."

As soon as her words fell, Zhou Ting also echoed.

"My truck and dormitory can also be searched casually."

The two sang together, and Liu Wei also guessed something.

Obviously, this is a trap.

Even Pei Yi could tell that the man and woman in front of them had already prepared their lines in advance, and they were just waiting for Ning Rou to take the blame this time.

In this situation, not to mention that Ning Rou didn't know how to deal with it, any employee present would not be able to prove her innocence.

Standing on the outside, Pei Yi watched Ning Rou's face turn white little by little, watched Ning Rou's hand on her waist trembling slightly, and quietly walked across the crowd to Li Mei, blocking Ning Rou in front of her. behind.

"If you lose something, shouldn't you check the monitoring first?"

"Why are you in such a hurry to search the room?"

"Are you worried that you won't be able to rely on Ning Rou after watching the surveillance?"

Three questions in a row left Li Mei speechless.

The basement is full of bar employees.

Pei Yi was wearing a small white lace dress, and a pair of dark gray low-heeled leather shoes under her feet. Her shoulder-length black hair was loose and spilled on her shoulders like ink. When, the expression is very gentle and graceful.

No one has ever seen her face before, but Li Mei recognized it at a glance. It was she who placed the order for Ning Rou a month ago.

"You are Ning Rou's friend!"

Li Mei stared, as if she had discovered some secret.

Pei Yi bent her lips, smiling politely and distantly.

"Any questions?"

"I'm Ning Rou's friend, so I speak for Ning Rou."

"I don't know what relationship you have with this Mr. Zhou?"

As soon as Li Mei opened her mouth, she blamed Ning Rou for all her faults.

Another way of thinking is to protect Zhou Ting.

Pei Yi asked, and brought the rhythm back.

Li Mei's lips moved again and again, realizing that she could no longer play lip games with the woman in front of her, so she casually made a perfunctory sound, and immediately changed the subject.

"Of course it's just a colleague relationship."

"You said to check the surveillance, what kind of investigation is it?"

"When people come to steal things, do they still leave the monitoring and wait for you to find evidence?"

Before she finished speaking, Li Mei sneered, as if she was mocking Pei Yi for placing her hope in surveillance.

Liu Wei, who had been silent all this time, also spoke out at this time.

"The four cameras in the house were indeed smashed."

Pei Yi raised her eyes and looked into the room, her face still calm.

"What about outside?"

"Is there no surveillance outside?"

Liu Wei shook his head, with regret in his eyes.

"At that time, we were in a hurry to open the business, and there was no time to install it outside."

Pei Yi looked at Liu Wei, blinked quietly, then raised her head, pointed to the door frame, and asked again.

"Are you really not pretending?"

"Could it be that you have lost your memory?"

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a camera on the door frame."

Pei Yi had already noticed that among the more than 20 people present, only Liu Wei was sincere in speaking for Ning Rou.

She is confident that Liu Wei will cooperate with her in this scene.

Sure enough, as soon as she put down her hand, Liu Wei also looked at the door.

There is no camera above the door frame.

Yes, there are only three golden round nails, which the decorator forgot to pull out when hanging the wires.

The lower part of the nail is buried in the wall, and the three round faces are exposed outside. Because it is too high, people on the ground cannot see clearly, and the light at the door is a little dim. At first glance, it looks like a surveillance camera.

If you're not a professional, you probably won't be able to tell the difference.

Liu Wei understood Pei Yi's hint.

He patted his forehead, pretended to be stunned, and continued following the other party's words.

"I remembered."

"The boss later said that it is not enough to have a surveillance system in the house, and it must be installed outside. One night, another worker was recruited."

"It's just that I was absent that day. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten."

All eyes were on the door frame, with different expressions on their faces.

Most people are happy, after all, with monitoring, the thief can be found.

There was only a faint panic on the faces of the three of them.

Li Mei turned her head to look at the young man, and the two looked at each other with panicked expressions.

The young man had inquired about the decoration company in advance, and confirmed that the workers only installed four cameras in the wine storage in the basement, so he dared to come down to study how to open the lock of the wine storage.

How did you know that there is actually a camera installed on the door frame.

Capsized in the gutter.

Li Mei already wanted to leave.

But Pei Yi's eyes were fixed on her face, and she didn't even dare to move.

"Since there is surveillance, there should be no need to search Ning Rou's room."

"Manager Liu, call the police."

Call the police--

Hearing these two words, Zhou Ting was the first to panic.

Before Liu Wei even answered, he explained the matter clearly by himself.

"Manager, Li Mei stole the wine!"

"After work last night, she asked me to drink, got me drunk and tried to get my keys, but I found out."

"If she hadn't been persuading me, how could I listen to her and do such a thing?"

"Manager, it's really none of my business, it's all her idea."

Zhou Ting's words were both expected and unexpected.

Liu Wei frowned, and he looked at Li Mei, ignoring the panic on the other side, and responded firmly.

"Call the police!"

"How to deal with it, how to deal with it!"

***

Like a farce, the audience dispersed after the play was over.

In a blink of an eye, there were only Ning Rou and Pei Yi left at the door of the wine warehouse.

No matter what the relationship between the two is, judging from this matter alone, Pei Yi did help her.

Ning Rou wringed her hands until there was no other sound around, then she finally let go of her tightly pursed lips, and sincerely thanked her.

"Thank you."

"If it weren't for you, Brother Liu wouldn't have remembered that surveillance cameras were installed outside."

Her voice was as soft as ever, falling into her ears like a breeze.

Hearing this thank you, Pei Yi felt a little less ashamed inexplicably.

"you are welcome."

"I owe you."

"What happened just now should be regarded as an apology."

apologize?

Ning Rou frowned, with some confusion in her eyes.

Before she could ask, Pei Yi lowered her head, opened the beautiful and exquisite black handbag, and took out a photo that she was all too familiar with.

"I took the photo of Luo Zhen."

"I'll give it back to you now."

"I'm sorry, I made you look for it for so long that day."

"If you need any compensation, just ask, I will do my best to satisfy you."

Pei Yi's apology was very sincere.

Ning Rou looked down at the photo, her lips slightly parted, but she didn't say anything.

The photo was indeed the one she lost on Central Street a month ago.

But, why did Pei Yi secretly take it away?

She was stunned for a few seconds, then stretched out her hand to take the photo, and when she looked up, she still couldn't help asking.

"why?"

Looking into those gray eyes, Pei Yi somehow thought of Zhou Ruguang.

In an instant, the guilt in my heart surged out again.

"At that time, I thought you didn't like Luo Zhen, and even betrayed Luo Zhen."

"And Luozhen has been defending you in front of me, so I—"

Pei Yi didn't mind confessing the reason.

It's just that at the end, I lost a little courage to finish all the words.

Xu was afraid that Ning Rou would misunderstand, so she took the initiative to explain.

"Don't worry, I don't mean that to Luo Zhen now."

Ning Rou clenched the photo in her hand and did not respond.

Her head was slightly lowered, her eyes were fixed on the photo, but her gaze was wandering in all directions.

Pei Yi waited for a long time, but still did not get a response.

She has little experience apologizing and doesn't know how to coax people.

Seeing that Ning Rou ignored her now, she felt a little flustered and at a loss, not knowing what to do.

After thinking about it, I can only use the trick of 'changing the subject'.

"Actually, there is no camera on the door frame at all."

"Manager Liu and I lied to everyone."

When Ning Rou heard these two words, she really became interested, and quickly raised her head, looking towards the door frame.

"But, I see a light flickering on it."

Pei Yi was slightly stagnant, subconsciously wanting to refute.

Unexpectedly, the moment he raised his eyes, he really saw a ray of red light.

The light flashed quickly, and the frequency of occurrence was irregular.

If you are unlucky, you may not notice it after staring at it for more than ten minutes.

In the corner of the basement, there is a wooden ladder.

After a while, the two moved the ladder to the door of the wine warehouse.

Pei Yi stepped up the ladder, ignoring the dirt on the door frame, and reached out to touch the three golden round nails.

It's the texture of metal, not glass.

Just when she thought the red light was an illusion, a golden dome slipped from her fingertips, revealing a small piece of curved glass inside.

The three round covers have fallen off the mirror surface one after another.

Pei Yi was stunned, apparently not expecting that what was hidden under the round nail was actually a camera.

There is no doubt that these three red light cameras are monitors installed by Luo Zhen in order to protect Ning Rou——

Even the manager Liu Wei didn't know about the existence of the monitor.

The author has something to say: After writing this chapter, I feel that people like Pei Yi who "do bad things without knowing themselves/doing wrong things without knowing themselves, but have a positive side in their hearts" are a very tragic character.
