She looked sincere. She didn't seem to be the sort that would lie. Arvin lowered his head to look at her and thought, 'Did I make a mistake?
Maybe it's just because I wished so much for the girl that night to be Angela, so I saw what I wanted to see, and mistook her for Angela...'
Arvin moved close to Angela's ear, "Angela, if I thought that you were ever lying to me, you know the punishment would be severe, don't you... it would be so bad that you wouldn't be able to get up from bed for three days, you hear me?"
If it was Angela that night, he would not only bind her to the bed for three days, but also... make her beg for his mercy in different positions.
Mmm... What kind of punishment was that? When thinking of that rosy night, Angela blushed, "There are so many people here Arvin, release me now."
However, their behavior had already drawn many people's attention. They were being scrutinized by many pairs of eyes.
Angela let out a sigh of relief after she was freed. Then she heard Arvin say to her, "Tell Fabian to come outside."
It was clear that Fabian had been belittling him, and Arvin wished to return the favor.
Angela nodded and dashed into the room, out of breath, she told Fabian, "Arvin wants to see you, he is outside."
In a trance, Fabian gasped at the thought of what he had seen before. He looked at Angela with a peculiar expression and walked out of the room.
Arvin was standing straight up in the corridor with his beefy hands hanging loose at the end of each sleeve. He didn't venture anything at the sight of Fabian, but anyone would feel inferior if they dared approach him.
Fabian walked towards Arvin, and he leaned against the wall. 'Is Director Gu jealous of me?' he wondered.
Arvin looked sideways at him, "Fabian Li, the illegitimate son of Tanner Li of the Li family from the Shine Empire, and your mother has asthma..."
Fabian was enraged at Arvin's words. His eyes turned a deep red.
His background was his biggest agony. He left his family for more than ten years for specific purpose of leaving all the trappings of that life behind him.
As for keeping the surname of his family, it was because his mother had begged him...
Fabian knew that, sooner or later, his background would catch up with him.
But he didn't expect that Arvin, who had no interests in a conflict with him, should investigate him.
What's more, Arvin was just a doctor. If this doctor could find out his covert background, then he must be something big in the hacker world...
"It is said that the Li family has been looking for you for a decade; people say that you brought something belonging to your family with you when you left..."
Fabian wasn't able to play cool anymore. It seemed that Arvin knew everything about him! He rushed to Arvin and grabbed his collar viciously like a dog.
Arvin wasn't scared of him at all, so he continued, "Your birth name was Jeffery Li. You would change your name every five years, and you have used the name Fabian Li for three years."
Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer.
Before Fabian resorted himself in order to force Arvin away again, Arvin stated his true purpose, "If you don't want me to visit your father, restore the CCTV of the block where I live! I will give you three days!"
Arvin had made up his mind, and he wouldn't let anyone dissuade it now once he had obtained the strong evidence he needed; neither Nita nor Angela could talk him into doing anything besides his ultimate purpose.
Fabian grabbed at Arvin's collar with his right hand so tight that you could even see the blue veins from his hand pop out, and his left hand hung down, clenching tight. When he knew what Arvin wanted to do, he was stunned. "You spent so much effort to investigate me just to restore the CCTV?"
That was the ultimate purpose, it's true. That CCTV showed that Angela had taken Arvin to his apartment from the parking lot.
That CCTV showed that Angela ran out of Arvin's apartment panicky the next morning.
That CCTV also showed that Nita went into Arvin's apartment after Angela left.
...
Fabian didn't exaggerate. Arvin did spend a lot of money to find out this information, because he was a brilliant hacker. It was easy for him to hide his information.
"Three days, that's my limit."
