The matter was still unclear, and yet it was to be dropped like this—how could she be content?
Leng Zimo turned his face to look at her, and as she met his gaze, even Xu Xia, who normally feared neither heaven nor earth, felt a twinge in her heart and suddenly became too timid to utter another word.
Ailin strode over and waved at everyone, "All right, disperse everyone. Remember to arrive at the company on time before ten o’clock tomorrow!"
Shen Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief and hurried away, while Xu Xia was also pulled away by a familiar classmate.
It was not until everyone had dispersed, leaving only her and Leng Zimo, that Ailin finally walked up to him, "President Leng?"
"Take this, get me a fingerprint analysis!" Leng Zimo handed her the blade.
"Yes!" Ailin took the blade, glanced at him—as if she wanted to say something but eventually did not—and left the studio in long strides.
Leng Zimo went back to the control room. The staff had already left, and he went up to the computer to deftly bring up the video footage.
Sitting in front of the computer, he furrowed his brow and pondered for a while. Then he watched the video of Luo Xiaoqian’s performance again, closely. Afterward, a trace of chill flashed through his eyes.
He brought up Shen Xinyi’s performance video and fast-forwarded to the part with the interlude music.
In the video, Shen Xinyi slowly walked onto the small stage with the piano. Then her hands glided across the keys...
Zoom in and slow down the footage. He moved through the frames one by one. Although the angle of the camera was not perfect, it still vaguely captured a reflective object sliding between her fingers into the keys.
...
"Do you think I injured my hand myself?"
"Isn’t it?"
...
Their conversation echoed in his ears, and the image of that face striving to control her emotions flashed before his eyes. His heart too felt as if it had been sliced by a blade, aching fiercely.
"Damn it!"
