Help! The Seductive Villain Chases Me Everyday to Expose My Other Identities!

Chapter 29: Didn’t He Sleep in Your Room Last Night?

Shi Wenfei immediately looked at Shi Ran, bewildered.

However, she quickly revealed a puzzled expression. “Last night, a staff member informed me to start recording at nine today. I wonder if it’s the same person whom Sister saw.”

After saying that, she seemed to have just reacted. She covered her mouth in disbelief. “Sister, you don’t think I asked someone to tell you that the recording was at ten, do you?”

“Isn’t that the case?” Shi Ran looked askance at Shi Wenfei, who was acting.

Tears were already forming in Shi Wenfei’s eyes. Her tone was aggrieved as though she had been wronged. “Sister, must you think so badly of me? I-”

Zhou Yufan, whose heart ached immediately stood up. “Shi Ran, you’re too much. There’s no evidence. What right do you have to say that Fei... she framed you?”

[This is ridiculous! She’s just spouting nonsense.]

[Feifei is too pitiful. She’s clearly late, but Feifei has to take the blame.]

[Family, my blood pressure is already rising!]

[My heart aches for Feifei!!!]

Shi Ran casually took out her phone from her pocket and said slowly, “Before I came here, I went to the hotel’s surveillance room and saw something interesting.”

The moment she saw the phone, Shi Wenfei’s heart skipped a beat.

Yesterday, they stayed in a hotel under the Zhou Corporation’s name. Yufan had also informed the people in the surveillance room about this.

How did Shi Ran get the surveillance footage?!

As if thinking of something, Shi Wenfei’s expression changed.

Shi Ran had also obtained the surveillance footage from the previous Weibo incident and caught her off guard.

‘Did Shi Ran ask that hacker for help again?’

Shi Wenfei lowered her head in thought.

Before Shi Ran came, she obviously didn’t know that she had been framed so how could she have gotten the surveillance camera footage in advance!

Shi Ran must have been trying to trick her on purpose! She didn’t think she would fall for it, did she?

At the thought of this, Shi Wenfei wiped the tears off her face and said aggrievedly, “Then Sister, please release the surveillance camera footage! What I say I didn’t do means what I didn’t do!”

Since she showed no fear or guilt, the people immediately believed her.

The guests all turned to look at Shi Ran.

With everyone watching, Shi Ran clicked on the video and showed it to the camera.

The director immediately gave a close-up as well.

The video showed the surveillance footage which was captured at nine-thirty last night.

A man wearing a work pass knocked on Shi Ran’s door. After a few words, he knocked on the other door.

The door was opened by Shi Wenfei’s manager. After that, the man walked into the room.

“Sister, I just said that a staff member informed me last night that there would be a recording today. This video doesn’t prove anything.”

Shi Ran, that idiot! Did she really think that a surveillance camera with no sound could be used to frame her?

“Why did the staff go in?” Zuo Yifei leaned closer to look at the surveillance video and asked curiously.

Shi Wenfei glanced at Zuo Yifei.

Of course, she knew that Zuo Yifei was not helping Shi Ran. He was just young and playful and thus, was curious about such things.

“My manager empathized with the staff’s hard work and asked him to go in for a glass of water. At the same time, he also wanted to inquire about some of the program team’s procedures.”

Towards the end, Shi Wenfei smiled shyly and felt a little embarrassed. “This is my first time participating in a variety show. I was a little worried, so my manager wanted to help me so that I could participate in it with ease.”

Zhou Yufan looked at the video and shook his head in disappointment. “Shi Ran, you were the one who wasn’t punctual today. It’d be fine if you took the initiative to admit your mistake, but why did you have to let others take the blame for you?”

[Exactly!! The issue just needed an apology to resolve, but she insisted on making Feifei and the staff take the blame.]

[Damn, it’s probably a headache for the program team to have such a person on their set.]

[A lifetime of banning for Shi Ran!!!]

[What did our Feifei do wrong?!! To have met such a person!!]

[Good one, Mr. CEO! Mighty!]

[Why do I see a CEO protecting his wife? I suddenly want to kiss this couple.]

It was not just the people on the bullet screen. Everyone present felt that Shi Ran was making excuses for being late.

Everyone already had a grudge against Shi Ran after waiting for half an hour.

And now, not only did she not admit it, she even found someone to take the blame.

The guests were immediately displeased with the situation.

Just as the atmosphere was heavy, Shi Ran chuckled.

Everyone looked over, finding it odd.

‘Is this madness?’

Shi Ran tilted her head to one side with a smile on her lips. ‘You don’t think I only have CCTV, do you?’

A second later, a voice recording was played.

The recording had been recorded when the staff informed her of the time last night.

The recording played out clearly. The staff had said ten o’clock.

Zuo Yifei leaned forward to take a look. The program team also pushed the camera forward.

“This shows that the time recorded was at nine-thirty last night. It matches the surveillance time.” Zuo Yifei glanced at Shi Wenfei.

He tapped his chin. “Since she didn’t know she was going to be late and eliminating the possibility of early preparation, this should be true.”

Bai Jingtian glanced at Shi Wenfei, Zhou Yufan, and Shi Ran with a meaningful gaze.

He had seen this kind of setup many times, so he was not surprised.

Still ...

He looked at Shi Ran.

Shi Ran seemed different from before.

Other than Zuo Yifei, who spoke out of curiosity, the other guests basically did not speak.

Everyone present was smart. Of course, they knew that Shi Ran had really been framed.

However, no one stood up for Shi Ran. None of them wanted to get involved in this mess.

Shi Wenfei’s expression changed unpredictably. Finally, she forced a smile. “Then I misunderstood my sister. I apologize.”

“It’s all my fault. I should have asked my sister to come with me in the morning. That way, if she arrived at the same time as me, the anti-fan’s scheme wouldn’t have worked.”

Shi Wenfei naturally described the staff as an anti-fan of Shi Ran’s.

It was not uncommon for anti-fans to do such things in the entertainment industry anyway.

Naturally, no one would suspect anything.

“Actually, if you had come an hour and a half earlier, you wouldn’t have been late,” Zhou Yufan said.

As he didn’t like Shi Ran in the first place, whatever she did seemed wrong in his eyes.

Even if this was a misunderstanding, he could only blame Shi Ran for being too stupid to fall for such a simple trap.

[So after all this time, Shi Ran was really framed?]

[It’s all Shi Ran’s own problems. There are too many anti-fans of hers. Maybe someone just couldn’t stand her anymore.]

[I think the CEO is right. If Shi Ran had come early, she wouldn’t have been framed.]

[Holy shit! Victim blaming?]

[Shouldn’t the question be who that staff member is? Why did everyone start cursing Shi Ran instead?]

[It’s the truth. Why did the staff want to harm Shi Ran alone?]

The bullet comments were arguing again. Discussions covered from Shi Ran’s problems to societal problems.

Although Shi Wenfei didn’t see the bullet screen, she could guess the general content.

“Sister can learn from CEO Zhou next time. Even though he was busy with work last night, he still rushed over early this morning. Actually, he had arrived half an hour early.” Shi Wenfei pretended to comfort her.

“Got here early in the morning?” Shi Ran played with her phone, her smile unreadable. “Didn’t he sleep in your room last night?”
