Chapter 617 Deceived
"Mr. Bernard, what did you say to Bingbing?" Wang Chao asked, his gaze fixed on Bernard, trying to detect any flaws or hidden intentions.
Bernard looked worried and responded, "There was nothing special. We were just discussing the use of the new medicine."
"After we finished talking, she left."
"After she left your office, did she not come back to you? Where did she go? Have you looked for her?"
"Are you sure you only talked about the new medicine?"
"Indeed, we only discussed the new medicine. We didn't talk about anything else."
Bernard spoke sincerely, his eyes filled with genuine concern. "Please don't ask me about this. Hurry and find Miss Shen to see where she went."
"Do you need my help?"
"That's natural. We came to you precisely for your help."
Wang Chao nodded and said, "We want access to all the hospital surveillance footage. Can you arrange that?"
Having dealt with many people, Wang Chao didn't see any signs of lying or evasion in Bernard's eyes. It was evident that Bernard was not lying.
"No problem, I will immediately contact the surveillance department and have them provide you with the footage," Bernard said.
After speaking, he quickly took out his phone and contacted the surveillance department.
Once the arrangements were made, Bernard said to Wang Chao and Liu Yifei, "Let's go. I'll take you to the surveillance room."
"Okay, please lead the way," Wang Chao replied.
"Follow me."
Bernard stood up and walked out, leading the way to the surveillance department.
Wang Chao and Liu Yifei exchanged a glance and followed him.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the surveillance department.
Under Bernard's orders, the head of the surveillance department immediately pulled up all the surveillance videos from the hospital during the relevant time frame.
There were a total of twelve screens.
"Fast forward each video thirty-two times!" Wang Chao instructed in English.
"Thirty-two times? Are you sure you'll be able to see anything?" the security guard asked.
"Just do as he says," Bernard said firmly.
The security guard was somewhat helpless but immediately complied, bringing up the videos and playing them at thirty-two times the normal speed.
At this speed, many frames flashed by, making it nearly impossible for ordinary people to discern anything in the footage.
Wang Chao kept his eyes fixed on the videos, watching intently.
The security guard looked at the screens, then glanced at Wang Chao with disdain, sneering, "Huh, even at this speed, you think you can see something? Do you think you are a god?"
Playing videos at thirty-two times the speed, even deities wouldn't be able to make sense of them.
However, Wang Chao paid him no mind, keeping his eyes on the large screens.
After watching all the videos, his expression turned extremely grim, and he turned to leave.
"Brother Wang, wait for me!" Liu Yifei called out, trying to catch up.
Liu Yifei quickly caught up and asked with concern and astonishment, "Did you see something in the surveillance footage? Why is Bingbing acting this way?"
"Wait a little longer, I'll explain later. Let's go back first," Wang Chao said in a deep voice.
The two of them left the surveillance room and headed upstairs.
"Wait for me."
Bernard also left the surveillance room and tried to catch up with Wang Chao and Liu Yifei. However, they had already disappeared into the elevator, and he couldn't catch up.
After Wang Chao and Liu Yifei left, Bernard's worried and innocent expression suddenly turned extremely cold.
It was as if he had transformed into a completely different person!
"Director, who are those people? Did that woman really go missing?" the security guard asked.
"It's none of your business, better not ask," Bernard said coldly, glancing at him.
With that, he also left.
The security guard sat there, trembling all over. Bernard's gaze made him feel as if he was being stared at by a fierce and ancient beast, sending shivers down his spine.
"The way Director Bernard looked just now... when did he become so frightening?"
He remembered clearly that Bernard used to be a gentle and kind person, full of ambition.
However, everything changed after Bernard accidentally fell into a bat cave.
After coming out of the cave, Bernard still appeared gentle and kind on the surface, gentle enough to not even kill an ant.
But his attitude towards many people and things had become extremely different.
At times, Bernard would even have public outbursts and physically assault people.
Especially at last year's annual meeting, he personally killed a barking dog in public, causing panic among many people.
Now, after being stared at by Bernard, the security guard felt like he was being targeted by a terrifying bat demon, sending chills throughout his body.
"Strange."
"Forget it, it's none of my business."
The security guard shook his head, no longer dwelling on the matter, and continued with his work.
"Brother Wang, did you find any clues? Why did we leave?" Liu Yifei asked with a puzzled look as they rode the elevator.
"I figured it out. That person is not Bingbing," Wang Chao said coldly.
"What? Not Bingbing? Apart from not seeing her face, everything else about her appearance and behavior was just like Bingbing," Liu Yifei said.
Although she did not see the fast-forwarded videos clearly, she had a clear view of the first video file, and everything, from the hairstyle to the body language, was identical to Shen Bing.
Why did Wang Chao suddenly say it was not her?
Wang Chao's gaze turned cold as he said, "Although that woman looks very similar to Bingbing, she's not her."
"Think about it. Bingbing always walks upright and confidently. Why would she lower her head and avoid the camera?"
"Unless she has something to hide!"
Liu Yifei's expression changed abruptly. Indeed, Shen Bing never lowered her head while walking, so why was she doing that now?
It did not make sense!
Could it be that Shen Bing was still inside Bernard's office?
Then, who was the woman with the exact same appearance, hairstyle, and clothing as Shen Bing?
"If that person isn't Bingbing, then where is she?" Liu Yifei asked.
Wang Chao's expression turned stern, and he uttered in a measured tone, "If I'm not mistaken, she might still be in Bernard's office."
"I've been deceived by Bernard!"
