Karin finally decides to go to see William, she thinks that even if William doesn't prove anything, it is still necessary to make things clear.
When she arrives at his office, William gets up and closes the door, pointing to the sofa, "Sit down."
"No need."
She looks at him with an expressionless expression, "I will come to meet you just because I want to tell you not to call me again, I don't want to talk about that night!"
William is stunned and grabs her arm, "Come with me."
"For what?"
"As I said before, I want to prove to you that I am not lying to you."
"There's no need for that, just don't show up in front of me again and I'll be grateful to you!"
She struggles to get away from his hand and is about to leave. William steps forward to stop her, "Are you going to treat me as an asshole for the rest of my life?"
"No need, I don't think we will meet each other for the rest of our lives."
William tugs on her arm again, "Whatever you think, I have to prove myself."
He yanks her out of the office and Karin struggles angrily, "Let go of me! Let go of me!"
Several colleagues walks forward, all gawking at them with curiosity. She feels so embarrassed and lowers her voice down, "Let go of me, I can walk on my own!"
William releases his hand and the two of them walk out of the company and get into his car, she asks grinding her teeth in anger, "What do you want?"
"You will know when we get there."
William drives the car to a familiar place and stops. Karin looks out of the window, and her face suddenly turns grave, he has actually brought her back to the hotel.
She pushes to open the car door and wants to slap William heavily, but he reaches out to stop her, "Aren't you curious about what really happened that night?"
Her hand is trembling in the air, she tightens her lips and follows him to walk into the hotel.
William finds the lobby manager and asks him to let them see the CCTV footage of that night. After a careful inquiry, the lobby manager regrettably tells them, "It's impossible for us to install cameras in the guests rooms, so I can't help you two."
"I know, but I mean your hotel must have surveillance cameras installed in the lobby or in the corridor, could you show us how we both arrived at the hotel and got into the room at that night?"
"Okay."
The lobby manager first checks out the date when they checked in, then finds out the video of the same time period, soon, he gets the right video. Karin holds her breath tightly and stares at the screen of the display. She sees a strange man wearing a mask and sunglasses, dragging her and William into the hotel room one after another, from the video, she and William were indeed unconscious, and the man obviously did it on purpose, he disguised in such a way that it is impossible to see his face. And after he put the two of them into the hotel room, he quietly went out of the hotel.
"That's all."
The lobby manager points to the display.
"Thank you. We have got what we need."
William shakes hands with him, tugs Karin's sleeve and leaves the hotel with her.
Standing outside the hotel, he says with a long sigh, "See? I am also unconscious at that night, we are obviously set up by someone."
Karin’s face turns stiff and she looks up at the sky blankly and walks away without saying a word.
William follows behind her and yells at her, "Let's find a place to talk about it!"
"There's nothing we should talk about."
