Four in the afternoon.
Chenghai Hotel, general manager's office. Only Chang Dajin and Dong Xuebin were in the room.
"Boss Chang, are all the remaining recordings here?"
"I checked. They're all here. There aren't any left."
"All right. You can deal with Xu Zhong yourselves. I won't get involved."
"Sorry for causing you so much trouble."
"Heh, I'm the one who caused trouble for you. It was all a misunderstanding."
"Right, just a misunderstanding. But our hotel can't shirk responsibility either. Our management was somewhat lax and negligent in this matter."
The truth had finally come to light.
It was also an incredible coincidence. Geng Xinke and Lin Pingping had come to rent a hotel room and happened to choose this place, while Xu Zhong happened to be on duty in the Monitoring Room. Xu Zhong and Geng Xinke seemed to have had a grudge against each other since high school. The exact reason was unclear, but according to Xu Zhong, he had dropped out entirely because of Geng Xinke. That was why, after seeing Geng Xinke so high-spirited last night, he had felt resentful and secretly recorded the footage, burned it onto discs, and sent it to the subdistrict. His purpose was simply to avenge an old score and deliberately disgust Geng Xinke. It had nothing to do with politics.
That made things simple.
It also put Dong Xuebin's mind at ease.
"The matter's settled, so I should get going." Dong Xuebin stood up with the discs and videotapes in hand. "By the way, the security guard's medical expenses..."
Chang Dajin immediately raised a hand. "Don't mention that. You're insulting me, brother."
Dong Xuebin took out his wallet. "I have to compensate him. I'm not insulting you. It's mainly because of this matter..."
"You are insulting me." Chang Dajin
