Transmigrated to Another World and Doted on by Everyone!-Chapter 166: Exposure

Chapter 166: Exposure
Seeing this, Rong Xingyu and Ye Shiyuan could not help exchanging a glance and then they spoke at the same time.
"Professor Jiang!"
That was right. According to Pan Yinhu, he really had been called away by Professor Jiang to help with something that day and had not been in the laboratory.
It seemed that Pan Yinhu had not been lying.
Rong Xingyu felt as if a heavy weight had finally been lifted from his heart.
Because Rong Xingyu truly did not want to associate someone like Pan Yinhu who usually reminded them of attendance times and even took the initiative to help clean the dorm with something like this.
Rong Xingyu steadied his thoughts and then continued looking further back.
When Pan Yinhu left, he was probably in too much of a hurry.
He had only turned off the lights in the laboratory and the door had simply been pulled shut.
More than ten minutes passed after Pan Yinhu left before the surveillance footage finally changed again.
Rong Xingyu’s eyes widened slightly. His hands that was hanging at his sides clenched tightly and his neatly trimmed fingernails left crescent-shaped impressions in his palms.
Who on earth had tampered with his experimental data?
Rong Xingyu leaned forward and staring intently at the surveillance footage.
A male student wearing a black hoodie pushed the door open and walked into the laboratory.
He had a very clear purpose. The moment he entered, he went straight toward Rong Xingyu’s workstation.
The boy was very tall, visually around 185 centimeters, but extremely thin, looking as though a gust of wind could knock him over.
He wore a black baseball cap as well, the brim pulled down very low.
Coupled with the hood of the sweatshirt pulled over his head and the fact that he kept his head lowered the entire time, his face was completely impossible to make out on the surveillance footage.
The boy extended his left hand. What was surprising was that the back of his hand looked extremely ghastly as if it were covered in terrifying scars.
Rong Xingyu pressed the pause button with a sharp click.
He stared at the unfamiliar boy frozen on the screen. His gaze was icy, yet the corner of his mouth curved upward slightly.
Found you.
Rong Xingyu took out his phone and snapped a photo of the person on the screen.
Then he released the pause. Standing in front of the monitor with his arms crossed, Rong Xingyu watched the footage expressionlessly.
Every single movement the boy made was clearly reflected in his eyes.
The boy stood at Rong Xingyu’s workstation for a long time with his head lowered, his fingers flying rapidly across the keyboard.
Unfortunately, the laboratory was only equipped with relatively ordinary surveillance cameras and due to the angle, Rong Xingyu could not clearly see exactly what the boy was doing.
"He must be tampering with your data right there!" Ye Shiyuan slammed his hand on the table with a loud smack.
He leaning forward and glared at the boy on the screen and ground his teeth.
Rong Xingyu nodded in agreement.
When the boy finally stopped what he was doing and straightened his back slightly, it was clear that he had already succeeded.
The boy still kept his head lowered, but instead of leaving the way he had entered, he walked toward the back door of the laboratory.
As the boy moved closer and closer to the camera, Rong Xingyu could not help feeling nervous. He held his breath and staring unblinkingly at the screen.
Would he finally be able to see what the boy looked like this time?
But to Rong Xingyu’s surprise, the person seemed very familiar with the laboratory and clearly knew that there was a camera there.
Because just as Rong Xingyu and Ye Shiyuan were about to see his face on the footage, the boy suddenly raised his hand and yanked the brim of his hat sharply downward, while turning his face to the side.
Not even a single part of his face not even his chin was captured by the camera.
Rong Xingyu: "..."
"Damn it, this bastard is way too arrogant!" Ye Shiyuan could not help cursing out loud. He said indignantly, "He obviously knows there are cameras in the lab, so how the hell does he still dare to pull something like this so openly?!"
Rong Xingyu also could not understand it and he frowned.
That person was wearing a black pullover hoodie, a baseball cap, and a mask, covering his face tightly.
Moreover, he had been very careful at the end to deliberately avoid the camera.
His actions could be said to be extremely cautious.
But why would someone so cautious choose to tamper with his experimental data in a laboratory that had surveillance cameras?
Had he never considered that Rong Xingyu might come to the security office to check the surveillance footage and easily obtain evidence of his wrongdoing?
Or was this person so arrogantly self assured that he was convinced Rong Xingyu would never be able to find out his real identity and drag him out into the open?
For some reason, Rong Xingyu always felt that things were not as simple as he had previously thought.
The security guard standing nearby suddenly seemed to recall something.
He slapped his thigh and interjected, "Isn’t your laboratory the one at the very end of the third floor?"
Rong Xingyu and Ye Shiyuan could not help but exchange a glance, then nodded at the same time. "Yes."
"Up the stairs, turn left—the one closest to the balcony," Ye Shiyuan added.
"That’s right, then."
Seeing that Rong Xingyu and Ye Shiyuan still looked completely confused, the security guard explained to them, "The surveillance camera in that laboratory broke some time ago. Because there were no original factory replacement parts, the repair kept getting delayed."
The security guard pulled up the maintenance records and pointed them out to Rong Xingyu and Ye Shiyuan. "Look, it was only fixed last week."
