Ten minutes later, Ye Yubin came out from inside aggressively. He felt like snapping at anyone who spoke.
With the task completed, Di Mingjue had no mood to entertain him. The moment Ye Yubin started complaining, he immediately let him leave.
Di Mingjue left before the examination results were out.
As soon as he left, Ye Yubin couldn't wait to depart.
He hailed a taxi by the roadside and gave the address upon getting in.
All the way, Ye Yubin kept thinking about the morning's events. He racked his brain, unable to figure out who could have recorded their conversation verbatim.
Thinking of surveillance, he suddenly asked the driver to change direction and head to the hotel from that night.
He was a regular, a VIP client. When he requested to view the surveillance footage, the hotel manager immediately complied, escorting him to the monitoring room.
The cameras near the private room from that night were retrieved. He watched the footage, which had video but no audio.
"No sound?"
The manager nodded with a bow, "Yes, for customer privacy, the cameras are not equipped to record audio or to speak."
Since there was no sound, where did the dialogue come from?
He stared at the screen, carefully observing the surrounding environment.
That night, he and Ye Jiaxu had stood in the corridor. From the beginning to the end of their conversation, not only were no hotel guests present, but not even a single waiter appeared.
It was truly bizarre!
Unable to find any clues at the hotel, Ye Yubin then proceeded to the express delivery company as originally planned.
To protect customer privacy, the express delivery company had no right to disclose any sender information.
Seeing that he couldn't get anywhere with the front desk staff, he lost his temper and demanded to see the manager.
Upon seeing Ye Yubin, the manager immediately approached with a smile.
"Third Young Master, we sincerely apologize. She is new and unaware of your status," the manager quickly explained.
The Ye family's status in Sijiucheng was such that no one dared to slight them. Offending the Ye family would lead to dire consequences, and Ye Corporation would soon acquire their business.
From morning to noon, a string of troublesome matters bombarded Ye Yubin. His face was as dark as coal, exuding a foul stench.
"Check the sender's information for this tracking number."
The express delivery tracking number was shoved in front of him. The manager accepted it with difficulty. The express delivery company had regulations stating that if the recipient found out, they could sue for privacy infringement.
Caught in a dilemma, it depended on who was more difficult to offend.
"What? You're unwilling?" Ye Yubin's voice sharpened into a shrill tone.
The manager immediately nodded, "Yes, we can check."
He handed the tracking number to a staff member at the computer, signaling her to check it on the computer.
Due to his status, they had no choice but to grudgingly comply.
As the numbers were entered into the computer, the query result was blank. The staff member re-entered the number and, after confirming there were no errors, looked at the manager with surprise and astonishment at the result on the computer.
"Did you find it?" the manager asked.
The staff member shook her head and motioned for him to come and look.
Stepping behind the counter, the manager bent over to look at the computer screen. He frowned and fumbled on the keyboard with one hand.
After all their efforts, the results were all the same.
Sweat beaded on his skin, and the manager looked at Ye Yubin tremblingly, "Third Young Master."
Ye Yubin turned his head.
Swallowing hard, the manager stammered, "We... we couldn't find the sender's information."
"Couldn't find it?" Ye Yubin acted as if he had heard a joke.
This was the headquarters of the express delivery company, and information from all small express stations was transmitted here for storage. Now they were telling him they couldn't find it? It was utterly ridiculous!
Ye Yubin pushed open the gate and impatiently moved them away from the computer. He stared at the blank screen with an expression of confusion, much like the manager's earlier.
