249. Ways Of The Wong
Following Ivy's words, Ethan's eyes shifted sideways. It was as if something had suddenly been ignited inside him.He seemed more calculating than he had ever been, and at that moment, he began to realize that Ivy might actually be making some sense.There were still chances. Other possibilities that suggested Daren might not be entirely free from all of this.But Daren, on the other hand, didn't fully believe what Ivy had said. To him, things were far from being worse. Far, far from it!Even with how certain Ivy sounded, Daren still couldn't agree with her.Darlington had already been apprehended, and because of that, Daren considered everything Ivy was saying nothing more than a mere theory. And to make his position clear to her, Daren stared at her and asked,“Is that what you really think, or maybe that is simply where your decision has reached?”Ivy blinked at him, clearly confused.“I don't understand what you're talking about, Daren.”“What I'm simply trying to say is that, as

The moment Daren heard what Ivy had said, he shook his head, his lips trembling with quiet shock.“No… no. Are you sure about what you're saying?”“That is only a theory, Daren. But I'm sure you're aware that a theory can absolutely turn out to be a real fact. Considering how she always ends up knowing everything that was said about her and everything that was discussed, she definitely wasn't eavesdropping.“We saw her leave the house. She only returned in her car, and the moment we went to greet her, she told us everything we had discussed and even got my colleague fired!”Ivy paused for a moment before continuing.“Now, if you're to put all these events together and connect them to a possibility, then it would lead you to two things. Either she has someone who always reports everything that happens to her, or she has a secret voice recorder planted somewhere in the house, which she uses to hear everything that is being discussed!”As Daren processed Ivy's words, he shook his head ag
251. The Phone call
That very moment, the realization hit all of them hard.The thought that they had somehow become connected to something capable of destroying them was almost unimaginable. Even Daren was beginning to have second thoughts about everything. His mind raced as countless questions began to flood his thoughts, leaving his lips trembling slightly.Ivy's theory actually made a lot of sense.The Wong family was very much capable of doing some of the strangest and most unimaginable things anyone could ever think of.At first, Ivy believed that Fiona had a hidden recorder in their servants' room, which she used to secretly listen in on everything that was being discussed about her. Ethan could even confirm that when he was still growing up, his grandfather had hidden a secret camera in his parents' room to monitor their every movement without their realization.Which meant that the Wong family seemed to have a method through which they carried out their actions.And if they were capable of doing
252. Forensic Video Enhancer
“Hello, Mr. Wong, sir!” Daren swallowed hard before speaking. “You are calling me? I mean... I was caught off guard!”“I want you to go straight to any nearby superstore and get me a forensic video enhancer!”The moment they heard that, Daren, Ivy, and Ethan's eyes widened. They exchanged stunned glances as Daren's lips trembled slightly.“A forensic video enhancer?” he asked.“Yes, Daren. Go to any superstore and get me a forensic video enhancer!” Darlington replied firmly. “And be quick with whatever you're doing. Make sure you don't waste my time. Every second matters to me at this moment!”Daren immediately understood the urgency in his voice.Not wanting to prolong the conversation and risk making himself look suspicious, he simply nodded.“Alright, sir. I'll do as you've said. But where should I bring it after I purchase it?” he asked. “I mean, I saw you being arrested a couple of hours ago, so I don't know where to...”“In the mansion!” Darlington interrupted almost immediatel

Daren's eyes widened. “I'm out of jail at the moment,” Darlington continued. “And you wouldn't want to keep me waiting, would you?” Daren swallowed hard again. “No, sir. I wouldn't.” “Then get mov
254. The Smartphone
A FEW MINUTES AGOAfter their confrontation with Cynthia and her lawyers, Darlington and Thai Wong left the hospital and soon arrived at the doorstep of the Wong mansion.While they were still inside the car, Thai Wong had asked Darlington a question that had been bothering him.“Are you sure about the camera you're talking about? Are you absolutely certain that nobody has taken it away from that place? And that it is still there?”With his eyes fixed firmly on the road ahead, Darlington nodded confidently.“Yes, that's right!” he replied. “I'm very sure it's still there. After all, that device is so tiny that no one would be able to notice it. Besides, it's hidden inside the wall. I don't think anyone would even see it, let alone go there and remove it.”Hearing Darlington's explanation, Thai Wong was somewhat impressed. He nodded his head, although his mind still hadn't completely processed everything.Darlington had claimed that he had hidden the camera so carefully that Fiona woul

The instant Darlington saw the phone, something inside him awakened.It was as if the redemption he had been desperately searching for had finally arrived, and with it came the only thing that could save him from the calamity that was slowly becoming a reality.He stared at the phone for a moment, his eyes widening.“Yes... that's the exact phone.”There was no doubt about it. It was the very phone he had been looking for.The same red phone.The same fingerprint pattern on the back.And most importantly, it was the phone he had linked to the CCTV camera.Darlington quickly picked it up, staring at it as though he had just found a priceless treasure. A wide smile spread across his face.“I finally found it!”He could barely contain his excitement.This wasn't just a phone anymore. It was their hope. It could contain the evidence capable of changing everything and proving that he wasn't the murderer everyone believed him to be.He couldn't keep the discovery to himself. His father need
256. The Video
At that very instant, Darlington couldn't believe what he had just stumbled upon. He couldn't believe his own eyes as his gaze remained fixed on the phone screen, refusing to look away.Even Thai Wong couldn't hold back his curiosity. Seeing the way his son continued staring at the screen without saying a word, his own concern grew. Although he had already asked what was wrong and received no answer, Thai Wong couldn't stop himself from asking again.“What is the problem, Son? Why did your mood suddenly change like that?” he asked.Rather than replying, Darlington's lips continued to quiver. His mouth opened and closed several times, but no words came out.At last, he managed to mutter, “I don't know... I don't know what suddenly happened! The whole thing is just... it is all...”He stopped, then turned to look at his father.“I think you should take a look at the video yourself.”With that, he handed the smartphone to Thai Wong, allowing him to see it for himself.And the moment Thai
257. Recounted
There was a brief moment of silence between the two men.Neither of them said a word. They simply stared at the phone, their minds racing as they tried to figure out how they could possibly uncover the identity of the mysterious shooter.After a few seconds, Darlington finally broke the silence.“I think I might have an idea!” he suddenly exclaimed. “I think I know what we can do!”Thai Wong immediately turned his attention to his son.“You said you have an idea of what to do?”“Yes, I do!”“And what exactly are you planning to do?”Darlington took a breath before pointing at the phone.“That video is obviously blurry because that camera has been hidden for ages. No proper maintenance has been given to it, such as cleaning or any other technical servicing. That's probably why the footage from the past three years has been coming out like this.”He paused briefly, making sure his father was following him.“But we have two options. We can either retrieve the original footage directly fr
258. The Plot Gets Thicker
PRESENTLY;At the Wong mansion, it hadn't been long since Darlington called Daren to inform him about buying the Video Enhancer, but Thai was already starting to get worried.He had expected Daren to be here by now, yet there was still no sign of him.Even Darlington's patience, which was usually hard to exhaust, was beginning to wear thin. Every second that passed made him wish even more that Daren would walk through the door. His eyes remained fixed on it, waiting and hoping that Daren would arrive on time.But nothing.Five minutes passed.Then ten.Yet, Daren was nowhere to be found.Seeing how long they had been waiting without anyone showing up, Thai Wong looked up at Darlington, whose eyes were now fixed on the window.“Are you sure about that driver of yours? What's his name again?” he asked.Darlington turned to him.“You mean Daren?”“Or whatever his name may be…” Thai dismissed with a wave of his hand. “Where could he even be? It's been so long since you called him, and he
