Chapter 107
The two old fools were still cursing and making a scene, and Zuo Zhiyu was also startled by the arrival of the reporters.
Only Quan Zhisui stood out with a bold move!
Decisive and resolute in handling the situation.
She wouldn’t meddle in the internal conflicts of the Zuo family, but if they dared to drag her into it—
She’d take them down!
A crowd of people followed Quan Zhisui upstairs in a flurry, and for a moment, no one paid attention to Zuo Yunxuan and Hou Qiaoling, who were still in the pool.
There were too many people—both police and reporters—and it seemed as though they had coordinated beforehand, appearing out of nowhere and suddenly gathering at the Zuo residence.
Zuo Zhiyu couldn’t even stop them, only threatening from behind, “I’ll sue you for trespassing! I’ll take you to court!”
Quan Zhisui led them to the bathroom: “It’s here.”
The reporters were ready, setting up their cameras.
The police equipment was, of course, professional, and it didn’t take long for them to find a tiny pinhole camera hidden in the showerhead of Quan Zhisui’s bathroom.
It was real!
And it was cleverly placed—so well-hidden that only a professional could have found it.
The reporters went wild, snapping photos!
Even the headlines were already forming in their minds.
“Daughter Monitored in the Zuo Household”
“Shocking! Girl Secretly Filmed in Bathroom”
A sensational story! Especially since this was the Zuo family, which had just been embroiled in a scandal in Liangxi Town!
The police examined the pinhole camera, their expressions grim. “This is professional equipment for spying,” one officer said.
Zuo Zhiyu was dumbfounded and began frantically explaining, “No way! There’s no pervert in this house! My daughter must have planted it herself to frame us!”
Without hesitation, he blamed Quan Zhisui.
A female officer asked, “Miss, have you been abroad? Or have you shopped on foreign websites?”
Quan Zhisui shook her head. “I’ve never been abroad, and I don’t use foreign websites.”
The female officer sneered. “Then the possibility of this being self-staged is very low, because this camera is a latest model produced abroad and isn’t available domestically yet.”
As she spoke, the officer glanced at Quan Zhisui’s figure.
Using such professional equipment to spy on a 17-year-old girl, and in her own home…
Thankfully, the girl was smart and reported it as soon as she noticed something was off.
If the footage had been captured, it would have been a lifelong trauma!
For a girl, this is far worse than any fight—it’s the most despicable and disgusting thing in the world!
Zuo Zhiyu was left speechless by the female officer’s words, his face a mix of panic and disbelief.
Quan Zhisui then spoke up, “Officers, there are surveillance cameras in the house. My dad installed a lot of them. We can check who entered my room.”
Zuo Zhiyu: “!!!”
He immediately stepped forward to stop them. “No, you can’t check the footage!”
At this point, he already had a good idea of who had planted the camera.
Foreign, professional—who else could it be?
But it was his precious son, and he couldn’t let him be exposed.
Zuo Zichen chimed in, “Why not? Dad, was it you?”
This statement only made things more explosive!
Zuo Zhiyu was nearly going mad, waving his hands frantically. “No! It wasn’t me!”
Zuo Zichen smirked. “Then let’s check! While we’re at it, I’d like to report something too. Let’s investigate the incident where I got hurt yesterday and needed stitches!”
Quan Zhisui gave him a rare approving look.
Zuo Zichen immediately straightened up, his gaze firm.
Let’s take them down!
Xu Zhiyi had also come upstairs by now, her eyes shining as she looked at Quan Zhisui.
Quan Zhisui ignored her and continued cooperating with the police.
She knew Xu Zhiyi wanted to pull her into the same camp, but that wasn’t happening.
Xu Zhiyi was no saint—she was just less skilled at playing the game.
Quan Zhisui had no intention of staying in the Zuo household any longer. They could fight among themselves all they wanted!
Zuo Zhiyu’s resistance was futile. The police eventually accessed the surveillance footage.
Quan Zhisui suggested starting from the early morning hours, and soon everyone saw the 10-year-old boy trying to pick the lock. When that failed, he sneaked into her room twice while she was out—once to release a snake and once to install the camera.
It was all there!
The evidence was undeniable!
It was Zuo Yunxuan!
Zuo Zhiyu’s face turned ashen, and his mind raced to find ways to exonerate his son.
Meanwhile, the reporters were busy filming and taking notes, though it was unclear who had allowed them to do so.
Why weren’t the police stopping them?
Quan Zhisui was unwavering. “Officers, you must arrest this pervert. I won’t settle this privately, and I won’t forgive.”
The police asked, “Where is the boy now?”
Zuo Zichen immediately answered, “Downstairs! In the yard! The one who fell into the water!”
The police ordered, “Arrest him!”
“Wait! Wait!” Zuo Zhiyu panicked, blocking their way. “He’s only ten! Give him a chance! He’s just a child; he doesn’t know any better!”
The female officer scoffed. “Doesn’t know any better? He knew exactly how to hide the camera in such a discreet spot and even caught a snake to release in her room. I’d say he knows plenty!”
It didn’t seem like it was his first time doing something like this!
The police headed downstairs, followed by a swarm of reporters.
One reporter ran back and asked Quan Zhisui, “Miss Quan, can I take your photo?”
Quan Zhisui thought for a moment, then nodded. “Sure.”
Down in the yard, Hou Qiaoling and Zuo Yunxuan had finally climbed out of the pool, shivering from the cold.
Zuo Zhaoyuan and Zhang Liufang were grumbling and cursing as they handed towels to their precious grandson.
Before the four could recover, the police arrived and took Zuo Yunxuan away.
Hou Qiaoling screamed, “What are you doing? Why are you taking my son?”
The police replied, “Releasing a snake and installing a hidden camera. He’s being taken in for questioning.”
Hou Qiaoling protested, “He’s only ten! You can’t arrest him!”
Zuo Yunxuan struggled too, shouting, “Let me go! I’m not even 16! Nothing I do is illegal!”
The officer glared at him sharply. “Who told you that?”
Zuo Yunxuan yelled, “That’s how it is abroad! Where I come from, nothing you do under 16 is a crime! And it’s just filming—I didn’t share it! Even if I did, it’s not illegal!”
The officer gave him a cold look. “Abroad? Sorry, but this is China! Take him away!”
The officers were visibly angry!
Zuo Yunxuan was young, and Zuo Zhiyu would undoubtedly spend a fortune to protect him, so this might not have much impact.
But in his outburst, Zuo Yunxuan had admitted to living abroad for a long time and using his status as a minor to act without consequences.
His attitude was appalling and unforgivable.
With all the reporters filming, there was no way they could let this slide!
Seeing the police’s resolve, Zuo Yunxuan finally got scared. Why was this place so different from abroad?
He started crying, “Dad! Mom! Grandpa! Grandma! Save me! I’m a minor! They can’t arrest me!”
Zuo Zhiyu was frantic, making calls left and right.
The reporters continued snapping photos, capturing every bit of the Zuo family’s disgrace.
The entire Zuo household was in chaos, with the two old fools running around like clueless idiots.
